5: Chapter 5: All the Major Universities with Superpowers Gather

Similar scenes were playing out at every top-tier Ability University.

Director He Kui, Admissions Director of Modu University.

Cui Yuyu, Admissions Director of Kyoto University.

Ye Cui, Admissions Director of Hangdu University.

Tong Cheng, Admissions Director of Guangdu University.

The admissions directors of various universities all headed toward Jianglan City at the same time.

Early the next morning, Su Mu headed to the school to take the school bus to the Ability College Entrance Examination venue.

The Ability College Entrance Examination was different from the regular one. For the regular exam, you just had to write on test papers at school, and there was no danger involved.

The Ability College Entrance Examination was completely different; all students in the city would take the exam within a single designated area.

The Ministry of Education would designate an area in each city and release demon beasts inside.

Then, the examinees would enter the area and hunt the beasts to earn points.

One point earned equated to one point on the college entrance exam score.

The points awarded for killing a demon beast varied slightly depending on the beast's rank and species.

But generally speaking, the stronger the beast killed, the higher the points awarded.

On the school bus, Su Mu sat alone by the window, resting with his eyes closed.

The other students were engaged in animated conversation.

“I heard that Uncle Ge set the questions for this year's Ability College Entrance Examination. They're bound to be exceptionally difficult.”

“Just thinking about Uncle Ge makes my head spin.”

“I don't know which little brat told me last night that the examiner was Uncle Ge.

It kept me up all night; it felt like Uncle Ge was right there under the covers with me.”

While everyone was still talking, a slender figure walked toward Su Mu's seat.

“Isn't that the school beauty, Yu Weiwei? She’s recognized as the prettiest girl in school.

What is she doing?”

“She's heading toward Su Mu!”

“It must be. Su Mu is the only one in the whole school with an S-rank ability.”

A wave of fragrance hit him, and Su Mu opened his eyes.

“Hello, Student Su! My name is Yu Weiwei.”

When Su Mu opened his eyes, a girl in a white tracksuit was already sitting beside him.

The girl had very delicate features and fair skin.

“Hello! Is there something I can help you with?” Su Mu didn't know her, and his tone was somewhat cold.

Seeing that Su Mu wasn't being particularly warm, Yu Weiwei didn't mind.

“I'm here to ask you to team up for the exam. My ability is B-rank Energy Sharing.

I can provide support for a teammate.”

Yu Weiwei was very confident. On one hand, her looks were outstanding, and most boys couldn't refuse her.

On the other hand, teaming up was indeed a win-win situation, as her ability had a clear supportive function.

However, Su Mu's answer was far beyond her expectations.

“I'm sorry, Student Yu, but I don't plan on teaming up.”

Su Mu gave a very straightforward refusal.

Looks? You must be joking. With two great beauties at home, he had long since become immune to the temptation of beauty.

As for the support Yu Weiwei could provide, he didn't care for it at all.

He was an S-rank ability holder, after all. If he needed to team up for a mere entrance exam, he'd be a total loser.

Seeing that Su Mu had refused without even considering it, Yu Weiwei didn't say anything more.

She simply stood up and left.

It was just a small interlude, and Su Mu didn't take it to heart.

They soon arrived at the venue for the Ability College Entrance Examination.

The teachers handed out Scoring Bracelets one by one, emphasizing that the bracelets must not be damaged.

Su Mu also received a bracelet and put it on his wrist.

There was only a large zero on the bracelet.

Su Mu stepped directly into the examination area and began searching for beasts to kill.

Actually, killing beasts right now wouldn't earn any points. For the sake of fairness, the scoring rules dictated that points would only count later.

At 10:00 AM, everyone's Scoring Bracelets would activate simultaneously to begin counting points.

However, for Su Mu, every beast deserved to be killed. He wouldn't stop hunting just because there were no points yet.

Besides, his system also had a function to collect conversion values from killing beasts.

Holding his silver-white spear, he moved swiftly through the woods.

Su Mu hurried toward the center of the examination area as much as possible. Over the past few days, he had researched the exam maps from previous years.

The closer one got to the central area, the denser the beasts would be.

It was currently 9:30 AM, 30 minutes before the start of the Ability College Entrance Examination.

Outside the examination area, the admissions directors from several top Ability Universities met 'by chance'.

Ye Cui, the admissions director of Hangdu University, and Tong Cheng, the admissions director of Guangdu University, were sitting in a coffee shop half a block away from the exam venue.

They were watching the live broadcast of the exam while chatting.

“Director Tong, I didn't expect you to come here in person.”

Tong Cheng took a small sip of his coffee. The dark circles under his eyes were quite heavy, making it obvious that he hadn't slept well last night.

“Director Ye, you must be joking. Didn't you come here in person as well?”

Ye Cui shook her head slightly. “It only takes me two hours to get here from Hangdu. You probably pulled an all-nighter to get here from Guangdu.”

Tong Cheng didn't deny it; he had indeed rushed here overnight.

He took another sip of coffee to refresh himself.

“I had no choice. An S-rank ability awakener appeared here. Actually, you and I both know that we won't be able to compete with Modu University and Kyoto University today. Coming here is just going through the motions.”

Ye Cui nodded and continued watching the live broadcast on the laptop.

“True. Although we are all known as the four major Ability Universities of China, you and I both know that our funding for recruiting top students is far inferior to the other two.”

He clearly agreed with Ye Cui's words. In terms of raw strength, Modu Ability University and Kyoto Ability University were far superior to Hangdu Ability University and Guangdu Ability University.

But sometimes, even when you know you can't win the competition, you still have to show the right attitude.

If the country's only S-rank ability awakener appeared and the admissions director didn't even show up in person to recruit them...

Then their time as admissions director would probably be coming to an end.

Two people stood in front of the monitoring screens in the examination backstage. One was wearing a suit and tie, his hairstyle meticulous.

The other was wearing a red dress, her long hair tied back, exuding an air of charm and allure.

“Director He, last year's top scorer, Senior Duan Tao, was already snatched away by your Modu University. Are you planning to snatch another one this year?”

Hearing this, He Kui's tone was clearly tinged with pride.

“Our Modu University offered better conditions, so naturally, the student was willing to come to us.

You can't stop a student from choosing a better school.”

The two were at each other's throats, while the nearby high school principals didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

All the high school principals from Jiang City were there. In the past, they would have been the ones watching their students' performances in front of the monitors.

But just a moment ago, these two had barged in and revealed their identities as admissions directors of top universities.

And then came this scene, which felt like a battlefield.

The principals were both nervous and excited.

This year, every school had at least one or two students who had awakened A-rank abilities.

They were all wondering if it was because their school's A-rank students had special abilities that they had attracted the favor of these admissions directors.

Only a pot-bellied, bald, middle-aged man standing in the corner had a smile on his face and a calm expression.

It was as if everything was within his grasp.

Indeed, this man was the principal of Jianglan No. 1 Middle School—Gao Sheng.

He was one of only three people here who knew there was an S-rank ability awakener in this exam.

Today would be the day Jianglan No. 1 Middle School became famous.
