36: Brother, be gentle, I'm scared

Although Jian Tong's Strength and Agility attributes were lower, with her extremely high Mental attribute, she temporarily soared to the top, even surpassing Shen Bei.

At this moment, the Main Examiner exclaimed, “A Prodigy! This is truly a Prodigy!”

The other examiners gasped, and the surrounding temperature inexplicably rose by several degrees:

“40 points! This is a good seedling!”

“Rarely seen, this is the first student to break through 40 points in a single attribute so far!”

“It's a sure thing. This girl's Physique attribute will definitely be above 10 points. With 75 attribute points, she will absolutely be able to enter a Martial Arts University!”

“It is foreseeable that the teachers at the Martial Arts University will be fighting over her.”

“Compared to Jian Tong's excellence, I'm more curious about Shen Bei's performance.”

“Him? He's probably running out of steam.”

“Here he comes! Shen Bei is starting his Mental examination!”

...

While everyone was still shocked by Jian Tong's 40-point Mental attribute, Shen Bei ran over and began his Mental examination.

He was as decisive as ever, finishing the test and leaving immediately to return to the scaffolding to screw bolts.

His main focus was being diligent and conscientious.

Everyone rolled their eyes at the sight.

Qi Chuanyu began to mutter again, “Blessings, blessings, the tens digit must start with a 1!”

Liao Zhongyang also stared intently at the electronic screen.

If Shen Bei's Mental attribute still started with a 2, the Champion's crown would be in jeopardy.

The scene was silent.

Everyone was waiting for the test results.

Especially the crowd who had bet on eating excrement while standing on their heads and running a five-speed electric fan, their throats swallowed saliva.

Soon.

Shen Bei's test result, the single digit, popped out: 0!

Then, the tens digit began to flash.

Under everyone's gaze, a bright red “2” appeared!

20 points!

Boom!!!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What the Hell!

Strength attribute 25 points, Agility 20 points.

Now Mental is also 20 points!

What kind of Prodigy is this!

Where is 1? Did you eat 1, Shen Bei?

Dumbfounded.

Collectively dumbfounded!

Among the onlookers, several people who had made bets looked ashamed, bowed their heads, and quietly slipped away.

Immediately after.

A cacophony of discussions suddenly erupted:

“My goodness! Shen Bei is really aiming to be a five-sided warrior!”

“Don't be silly, hidden attributes have no data, strictly speaking, he's a four-sided warrior.”

“Incredible! Incredible! He already has 65 attribute points. With a casual 10 points in Physique, that's 75 points, absolutely a sure bet to get into a Martial Arts University.”

“This year's Martial Arts is too exciting!”

“Do you think Shen Bei can win the Champion title this year?”

“That depends on how the other students ranked lower perform in Agility and Physique.”

“If... I say if, Shen Bei's Physique is also above 20 points, then he will undoubtedly be the Champion.”

“Hiss~~~ Working part-time while taking the exam, that's truly inspiring!”

...

“Damn it!”

Qi Chuanyu's mouth twitched at this moment, his teeth clenching.

“As expected of the freak who does Stance Training for three hours, why is a guy who takes the brawler route also so high in Agility!”

At this time, Qi Chuanyu's first two attribute tests were rather unremarkable.

He couldn't even make it to the top ten list.

But his advantage was in Agility. Yesterday, he tested at 37 points at home, and with the medicine he took this time, it could reach 40 points.

He quickly calculated that even so, his comprehensive attribute would barely be 66 points, just one point above Shen Bei.

There was still one Physique attribute not yet tested!

His Physique was lagging!

And for Martial Artists who take the brawler route, their Physique attribute is usually not too bad.

Looking at it this way, the chances of becoming the Champion were theoretically infinitely close to nil.

Liao Zhongyang was also stunned.

His highest attribute value was Strength, which he had already sacrificed.

His other attributes were all lagging.

Physique was slightly higher, but it would definitely not be higher than Shen Bei's!

He had originally thought Shen Bei's Agility value was low, but then he was hit with a sledgehammer.

“It seems we thought too much,” Liao Zhongyang said in a muffled voice.

Qi Chuanyu sighed and exclaimed, “If Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born? Forget it, I'm going to test my Agility.”

...

Soon.

Qi Chuanyu's Agility attribute was tested.

It was indeed 40 points.

There was another gasp from the crowd.

But Qi Chuanyu couldn't be happy at all.

Mainly because he was so uncomfortably suppressed by Shen Bei.

If Shen Bei had taken the exam seriously, it would have been fine.

But he was working part-time while taking the exam, and this disparity and excellence made Qi Chuanyu unable to accept it.

It was like... he had gone through countless hardships, finally managed to run to the finish line, and Shen Bei was at the finish line, yawning, just starting to run... and even said, “Come and catch me.”

What else could he say but watch Shen Bei perform?

At this time, the electronic screen's ranking board kept changing.

The final test began.

The Physique test was the most tormenting.

The examiners repeatedly warned the students not to overexert themselves.

The illusory pain was no joke and could easily lead to mental breakdown.

But how could the students listen?

In the final sprint, if they didn't push themselves, were they even human?

What's more, the students present also subtly felt something was off.

Especially the pace set by Shen Bei.

If nothing unexpected happened, his Physique was also very likely to be above 20 points!

Overall, that would be a minimum of 85 attribute points!

According to previous Martial Arts Exam experience, once someone breaks through 80 points, the 60-point baseline threshold would have to be adjusted upwards.

At least 5 points.

In other words, where 60 points previously offered hope of entering a Martial Arts University, now there was absolutely no hope.

Not reaching 65 points, or even 70 points, would not be safe.

In such a precarious situation, you tell them not to fight for Physique?

How could that work!

And so.

A determined aura spread across the faces of the students at the entire examination site.

They were going all out!

In the time that followed, the once cheerful examination site became a Hell.

Under the torment of the Physique test, various wails and howls echoed.

“Damn it! It hurts!!!”

“Hiss!!! Perseverance is victory!”

“Giggle giggle~~~ Ah ah ah ah!”

...

The onlookers were all startled by the students' desperate stance.

Their hairs stood on end, and their scalps tingled.

“Whoa!!! This is too much!”

“Isn't it because Shen Bei is pressing them so hard they can't breathe? The teachers and students over there all think Shen Bei's Physique will definitely break 20 points, and even higher!”

“That's right, this year's admission cutoff line will definitely be raised. If they don't fight now, they'll lose out big time.”

“Although they can repeat a year, next year's Martial Arts will deduct attribute points, which isn't worth it. Passing on the first attempt is best.”

“My heart aches for these children.”

“You, a common person, feel sorry for Martial Artists? What are you thinking?”

...

As the final Physique test proceeded.

The Main Examiner specifically arranged Shen Bei's turn for last.

It could only be said that this child was too fond of working.

Plus, the scaffolding was also in its final stage and would be needed soon.

So, he left some time for Shen Bei.

After the scaffolding was finally assembled.

Boss Zhang pulled the canvas from the car and began to hang it.

This job was much simpler.

Just tie thin iron wires through the pre-punched holes in the canvas.

The only tricky part was pulling the cloth taut diagonally.

Before this work was completed.

The loudspeaker began to announce Shen Bei's Physique test.

Shen Bei had no choice but to stop working.

He swayed unsteadily, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the testing equipment.

At this moment, the scene was once again silent as a crow.

This was the last person in the entire Martial Arts Exam.

Thoughts arose in everyone's minds.

Could Shen Bei's Physique truly reach above 20 points?

How much could it exceed?

Would this year's admission passing line be raised because of the emergence of this Prodigy, Shen Bei?

How much would it be raised?

For a moment, all the students present were on tenterhooks.

Holding their breath, they watched Shen Bei lie down with a composed expression.

Those students with attributes between 60 and 65 points seemed to be waiting for Shen Bei's verdict...
