21: Chapter 21 The College Entrance Examination is Coming

"Don't both of you fall down." Zhou Nan's voice carried a hint of concern. "I'll support you a bit, you steady him."

"Okay." Qin Yan replied softly. The three of them supported each other like this and disappeared into the night.

...

When Qin Yan returned home, the night was already deep.

The lights in his parents' room had long been extinguished, and the sound of steady breathing came from within.

Ever since his father switched to an easier position, he could finally return home early and get a good night's sleep.

His younger sister, Qin Xiaoxi, hadn't gone to sleep yet; she crept over silently like a little cat.

She sniffed him lightly, then wrinkled her small nose: "Qin Yan, did you drink alcohol?"

"Yeah, just a little." Qin Yan changed his shoes and walked toward the living room.

"Was it a man or a woman?" Qin Xiaoxi followed behind him, asking relentlessly, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

"A man." Qin Yan didn't change his expression.

"Liar!" Qin Xiaoxi immediately expressed suspicion, her face showing a disdainful look that said, "I have already seen through everything."

"I clearly smelled a faint but very pleasant girl's perfume! Don't try to fool me!"

"That was probably some man wearing women's perfume."

Qin Yan continued to spout nonsense, his tone indifferent.

Qin Xiaoxi: "(╬Ò﹏Ó)！"

Qin Yan ignored his sister's puffed-up expression, rubbed her head, and headed straight for the bathroom: "Go to sleep quickly, you still have school tomorrow."

After taking a quick shower to wash away the smell of alcohol and fatigue, Qin Yan returned to his room and threw himself into the soft bedding.

His body was very tired, but his spirit was somewhat excited.

"I wonder if those real Martial Artists get drunk if they drink too much…"

He stared at the ceiling, unable to help but recall the duel he had seen at the Martial Arts Association's Martial Arts Arena a month ago.

That surging qi and blood, that fierce offensive, that explosive power that seemed capable of tearing through the air…

"Thinking about it, they probably wouldn't." He muttered to himself, his consciousness gradually blurring as he fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, Qin Yan came to the principal's office.

After Qin Yan demonstrated his Martial Arts Skill and unleashed a burst of qi and blood.

It drew loud praise from Director Wan.

"Good, good, good, Xiao Yan, with your current strength, barring any accidents, you can definitely get into a Top-tier Martial Arts University during the College Entrance Examination."

"However, you still cannot be careless."

As he spoke, he handed a metal box to Qin Yan once again.

"This is the last time I will provide resources for you, Xiao Yan, don't let me down."

Wan Xueping instructed Qin Yan.

"I will not let Director Wan down."

Qin Yan said.

"Good, keep working hard from here on out; our Linhai City is about to produce another candidate for a Top-tier Martial Arts University after several decades."

Wan Xueping encouraged him.

He couldn't help but feel deeply moved inwardly; truly, heaven never closes all doors!

At his most desperate moment, under the greatest pressure, such a peerless piece of unpolished jade as Qin Yan had miraculously appeared!

Inside the school gymnasium, under Qin Yan's unreserved guidance, Lin Yang and Zhou Yuan's Stance Training also broke through one after another, successfully entering the third Realm.

"Brother Yan! Thank you so much!" Zhou Yuan was so excited he almost jumped up. "With this Stance Training Breakthrough, my chances of getting into Linhai Martial Arts University are even greater! From now on, you are my own brother!"

Lin Yang, who was on the side, didn't speak, but his gaze toward Qin Yan was filled with deep gratitude.

He knew that with the third level of Stance Training as a foundation, his success rate for aiming at Jianghai Martial University would significantly increase.

...

Martial Arts Association, inside Training Room 111.

Qin Yan opened the resource box that Wan Xueping provided for the last time.

He was surprised to find that it was no longer a qi and blood potion inside, but three bottles of crystal-clear, jade-like Medicinal Pill—qi and blood pill, arranged neatly!

Each bottle contained ten pills.

Adding the accumulation he had obtained through various channels before, the total number of qi and blood pill in his hands reached an astonishing sixty-five!

Converted at market price, this was 650,000 huaxia coin!

A huge sum of money he never dared to imagine before!

Qin Yan took out a qi and blood pill the size of a dragon eye with a dark red color and swallowed it without hesitation.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, instantly turning into a burning, surging torrent that rushed into his limbs and bones!

The blood in his entire body seemed to be ignited and boiling at this moment!

Qin Yan dared not have the slightest negligence and immediately set up the fifth-level Perfection Sky-Supporting One Qi Stance.

He guided and absorbed this majestic medicinal power with all his might.

He could clearly feel that the qi and blood throughout his body were being rapidly tempered, purified, and condensed!

"As expected of a qi and blood pill! This effect… is more than ten times stronger than a qi and blood potion!"

He was shocked in his heart.

A week later, under repeated tempering and Qin Yan's guidance, Zhao Bin also fulfilled his wish and raised his Stance Training to the fourth level.

His enthusiastic gratitude toward Qin Yan was almost overflowing.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 6th, the eve of the College Entrance Examination.

Inside the Martial Arts training room, Zhou Nan took a deep breath and lay into the qi and blood detection chamber.

The chamber door closed, and after the indicator light flickered for a moment, she exerted her qi and blood with all her might.

The numbers on the electronic screen jumped rapidly, eventually settling on a dazzling value—

"88 cal!"

Zhou Nan sat up from inside the chamber, looking at the number on the screen, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable joy!

88 cal of qi and blood!

This was a height she absolutely could not have imagined two months ago!

She turned her head abruptly, looking at Qin Yan on the side with burning eyes, her gaze filled with endless gratitude and indescribable happiness.

"Congratulations! 88 cal of qi and blood." Qin Yan smiled and offered his blessings.

"No matter how impressive, it still can't compare to a freak like you!"

Zhou Nan smiled and rolled her eyes at him, her tone carrying teasing, "With your current strength, you can probably choose any Top-tier Martial Arts University, right?"

Qin Yan smiled and did not deny it.

Zhou Nan was right; after two months of crazy piling of massive resources and his own diligent Cultivate, his strength had already undergone a heaven-shaking transformation!

He moved his mind slightly, and the System panel in his mind clearly appeared:

[Sky-Supporting One Qi Stance: Level 5 (Perfection)

Qi and Blood: 99 cal

spirit: 42

Spear Technique: Stage 2 (61%)

Skill Points: 6 points

Note: As long as you work hard, there will be a harvest]

99 cal of qi and blood, it had already reached the Peak below the Martial Artist!

The Martial Arts Skill had also reached the high stage of Stage 2!

A high-stage Stage 2 Martial Arts Skill scores 10 points in the College Entrance Examination!

With the strength he was showing now, a Top-tier Martial Arts University was simply more than enough for him.

...

Time arrived at June 7th.

For the College Entrance Examination, each school was randomly assigned an examination venue.

Qin Yan had good luck; he was still taking the exam at the First High School.

Amidst the atmosphere of full-process escorting and armed police clearing the way, the 225th College Entrance Examination of Linhai City kicked off.

Even though Qin Yan emphasized again and again that he didn't need his family to send him off, he couldn't win against their combined insistence.

Qin Yan was still sent to the examination venue by his parents and little sister.
