21: Chapter 21 Rapid Improvement

According to past experience, the highest level of monsters in the college entrance exam is generally only level 15.

Jiang Ling has already reached level 12, which is an extremely rare existence in the college entrance exam.

The vast majority of students are only level 4 or 5 at this time.

Reaching level 6 or 7 already qualifies one as an honor student.

Level 8 or 9, during the senior year, are as rare as Phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, a Genius among Geniuses.

The monsters in the outer perimeter are generally level 3, 4, or 5.

This is just right for the average student, but for Jiang Ling, it is truly too boring.

Jiang Ling has reached level 12, and with the 10-fold increase to base attributes from his Chaos Body, his agility has reached a terrifying 740, and his running speed is extremely fast.

Ordinary monsters simply cannot keep up with Jiang Ling's speed.

Some monsters on the road saw Jiang Ling and initially wanted to chase him down to take a few bites, but in the blink of an eye, Jiang Ling disappeared without a trace, and the monsters could only return in frustration.

Soon, the large screen outside the exam hall began to gradually display the students' points.

Ranked in first place, surprisingly, is Jiang Ting.

Ten minutes into the exam, he had already killed over a dozen monsters of various levels, and his points had reached 1830!

"This Jiang Ting is worthy of being an SS-rank Supernatural Ability talent; he really is in a league of his own!"

"At this speed, he should be able to break 30,000 points today!"

"Even if 30,000 points doesn't secure the provincial top scholar title, it will at least be in the top few in the entire Xiangnan Province!"

"He can enter any prestigious university in the Great Xia at will!"

"The Jiang Family is truly remarkable; they have produced super Geniuses consecutively over these years!"

"This brings to mind that Jiang Ling who was expelled from the Jiang Family!"

"Cheating in the trial tower made us think he was also an incredible Genius!"

"And what about now?"

"You can't see his ranking at all now, right?"

"The Jiang Family expelling him from the Family really had its reasons!"

"No major Family would tolerate such inferior character!"

"An illegitimate child is just an illegitimate child; their deep-rooted bad nature is hard to eradicate!"

Jiang Family. Jiang Haoyan and the Elders of the Jiang Family watched this scene, all with smiles on their faces, feeling very satisfied.

"Hahaha..."

"Jiang Ting is truly amazing!"

"He is so far ahead of second place!"

"The first place in this year's Yue City college entrance exam is secured!"

"Now it just depends on whether he can take the provincial top scholar title!"

"Although there are other SS-ranks in Xiangnan Province, in terms of talent, they should not be able to compare to Jiang Ting!"

"Jiang Ting's hope for the provincial top scholar title is still very high!"

"Our Jiang Family has produced another provincial top scholar; it is truly the ancestors' blessing!"

"That Jiang Ling has also revealed his true colors as expected!"

"Not to mention the top ten, there isn't even a shadow of him in the top one hundred!"

"Cheating in the trial tower is confirmed!"

"This kind of bad nature, he really is worthy of being an illegitimate child!"

"He truly brings shame to our Jiang Family's reputation!"

In the exam hall. Jiang Ling ran all the way and finally arrived at the core area.

Inside the core area, it was not a dense forest, but surprisingly a dilapidated ancient city.

From time to time, the sounds of monsters rang out everywhere. Jiang Ling grasped his long blade, stepped into the ancient city, and looked around, searching for traces of monsters.

Not long after, an Iron-backed Bear climbed over from behind an earthen wall. Seeing Jiang Ling, its scarlet eyes revealed an excited gleam, and it let out a roar.

It seemed impatient to enjoy today's lunch!

Seeing this, Jiang Ling also revealed a smile on his face.

"Let's use you to start things off!"

Roar! The Iron-backed Bear let out a roar, its massive body, like an off-road vehicle, whistled as it lunged fiercely towards Jiang Ling.

Its huge claws were like giant cattail-leaf fans, intending to smash Jiang Ling's head.

A foul stench rushed towards his face, making one want to vomit.

Jiang Ling gently dodged, then executed the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor, slashing diagonally at the Iron-backed Bear's neck.

Everything looked so smooth, so natural, so relaxed and comfortable, not at all like a life-or-death struggle.

However, this seemingly casual slash happened to land right on the softest part of the Iron-backed Bear's neck, and it was full of force.

Even though the long blade in his hand was only of ordinary grade, it cut open the Iron-backed Bear's throat in one go.

Pfft! Blood spurted out. The Iron-backed Bear's head hung down, its neck was half-cut, and it fell to the ground with a thud, not moving anymore.

A level 9 Iron-backed Bear, easily killed.

"You killed a level 9 Iron-backed Bear, points + 580!"

"Your total points are 580, currently ranked 897th!"

On the wristband, a line of text flashed by.

"This Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor is truly strong!" Jiang Ling was very pleasantly surprised.

It seems that this time, even without using his Supernatural Ability, he can sweep through the exam hall and take first place.

Because it is an exam, Jiang Ling does not need to collect the Iron-backed Bear's Materials; he can just continue directly.

Walking further inside, not long after, Jiang Ling saw another fox with a pair of wings.

"Level 10 monster, Flying Fox!" Jiang Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

When the Flying Fox saw Jiang Ling, it also thought its big meal had arrived. It actually revealed a smile very similar to a human face, then with a whoosh, it darted to Jiang Ling's side, flapping its wings, and lunged fiercely towards Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling did not turn around, but suddenly rotated his long blade and slashed downwards.

Pfft! The Flying Fox's head was directly split in two!

"You killed a level 10 Flying Fox, points + 1280!"

"Your total points are 1860, currently ranked 32nd!"

"Hunting Advanced monsters really gives more points; I'm already 32nd!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Ling's face as he continued forward. Soon, three level 9 Gale Wolves appeared together.

Jiang Ling remained unhurried, utilizing the agile footwork and combat techniques he had Cultivated in the trial tower. With a few easy steps, he dodged the Gale Wolves' attacks, then swung his long blade.

Pfft, pfft, pfft... Three slashes... The three Gale Wolves all fell down.

"You killed three level 9 Gale Wolves, points + 1800!"

"Your total points are 3660, currently ranked 2nd!"

"Quite easy!" Jiang Ling's mood lifted, and he treated this exam hall as if it were a trial, continuing to search for monsters to kill.

Meanwhile, outside the exam hall, it had become a scene of uproar.

"Eh?"

"What's going on?"

"Where did this Jiang Ling pop out from?"

"How did he suddenly reach second place?"

"Jiang Ling? Is that the Jiang Ling who cheated in the trial tower?"

"He must be cheating again, right?"

"Otherwise, how could his speed of improvement be so fast!"

"Others are chasing up one rank at a time, but he just leaped over hundreds of ranks at once!"

"It's too abnormal!"

In front of the giant display, the leaders of the Yue City Education Bureau and the leaders and teachers of various major schools were also present. Seeing this scene, they were also somewhat bewildered.

This sudden rise in ranking was truly somewhat strange!

"Which school is this Jiang Ling from?"

"How did his ranking rise so fast all of a sudden?"

A leader from the Education Bureau asked.
