55: Someone actually achieved it?!

Rank 20!

Wang Changyuan sighed, "Unless they clear nightmare difficulty dungeons every day, an S-Rank Talent simply cannot reach Rank 20."

With a limited number of dungeon runs, even an S-Rank Talent must go all out and farm monsters in the wild to have a chance of reaching Rank 18, which is the threshold for entering Shengjing University.

Let alone Rank 20.

An SS-Rank Talent might be able to, but an S-Rank Talent absolutely cannot.

"Old Wang, don't be discouraged. Your First High still has two S-Ranks. Many of our schools don't even have two S-Ranks, so Shengjing University is something we can't even dream of."

"At least you still have hope. We'd be burning incense if our students could get into more key academies."

Wang Changyuan nodded, "That's true. I believe they can get in."

Yun Qingyue and Xia Qi, one is Yun Yanghai's daughter, and the other broke the record for the beginner dungeon.

Wang Changyuan felt that these two might be able to create miracles.

Finally, students began to return from the wild, entering everyone's sight.

"This is our Fourth High's top student, an A-Rank Talent. Getting into a key university won't be a problem."

One of the principals excitedly said.

Under the Investigation skill, the incoming person's Rank was clear at a glance.

Chen Yang, Rank 15, Swordsman.

After seeing the information, that principal was very satisfied. Rank 15 was already a sure bet for a key university.

After all, he was the top student of Fourth High. Fifteen Ranks in one month wasn't too difficult for such a Genius.

"Our Second High's student, Zhang Dong, is also back."

Zhang Dong, Rank 16, Archer.

"Not bad, not bad. Rank 16, a bit stronger than Fourth High."

As students returned one after another, the principals on the city wall used their Investigation skills.

Every year at this time, it was also a pre-exam competition for the principals of various high schools.

It was the so-called Face competition.

After all, which principal wouldn't hope for a world-shaking Genius to appear in their school? This was a topic they could boast about for a year.

Students returned to the city one by one from outside the city, and the principals also had their wins and losses.

At least so far, no one had the upper hand.

Most A-Rank Talent Awakeners were between Rank 12 and 15, and there was only one at Rank 16, from Third High.

After all, although A-Rank Talent was mainstream, there was still a gap in combat power.

"It's a pity. If our school had an S-Rank Talent, we could compete with First High this year."

The A-Rank Talent competition was evenly matched.

But speaking of S-Rank, only First High had them, so there was no way to compare.

"However, neither of your First High's two S-Ranks have shown up yet."

"Yeah, why haven't Xia Qi and Yun Qingyue returned yet?"

As the sky grew darker, Wang Changyuan felt a bit anxious, and his expression became even more serious.

Logically, they should have returned by this time.

"I hope nothing bad happened."

Amidst Wang Changyuan's anxious wait.

Finally, just before night was about to cover the entire wilderness, Yun Qingyue's figure appeared.

Her Face was a bit haggard, but her spirit was still good.

After separating from Xia Qi last time, in order to catch up with his pace, she buried herself alone in the wild for half a month.

She hoped this time, she could catch up with Xia Qi's pace.

"Yun Family's Yun Qingyue has finally appeared."

Wang Changyuan smiled.

Seeing the school's top student return safely, he was genuinely happy.

Investigation skills flew out one after another.

At the principals' Rank, their Investigation skills would not be discovered by these low-Rank students.

Yun Qingyue, Rank 18, Mage.

The moment the information appeared, all the principals present were moved.

Someone actually reached Rank 18!

It seemed Yun Qingyue might have a chance to get into Shengjing University this time.

No, according to the Yun Family's strength, as long as her performance in this college entrance exam wasn't bad, she should have a great chance of getting in.

Not long after Yun Qingyue entered the city, Xia Qi finally appeared outside the city.

"Let me see what's going on!"

Wang Changyuan immediately cast his Investigation skill on this S-Rank Talent Awakener from a poor background, on whom he had invested more than ten million.

A month had passed, to what extent had he grown now?

Xia Qi, Rank 20, Mage.

Hiss~~~

When Xia Qi's basic information appeared before their eyes, all the principals present gasped.

Someone actually managed to reach Rank 20 in one month!

This leveling speed, wasn't it too much of a Prodigy?

"This is ridiculous. This is Rank 20. How did Xia Qi do it?"

"Let me calculate. Clearing dungeons every day, plus killing monsters in the wild without rest, it's theoretically possible, but this is only theoretical. I've never seen it in reality."

"That's still impossible, unless he was constantly clearing nightmare difficulty dungeons."

"I heard that young man has Lightning-element Talent. Is Lightning-element already this powerful now?"

"Possibly, after all, Lightning-element hasn't appeared for decades."

"...."

After Xia Qi entered the city walls, the principals also came down to the city.

"Students, please line up according to your schools. Once everyone is here, we'll return to school together."

"Okay."

The students responded cheerfully and began to gather at their respective schools.

Wang Changyuan, full of vigor, came before Xia Qi and patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Good, good, good. Your progress is truly beyond my expectations. I hope you achieve a good result tomorrow."

Wang Changyuan was in a very good mood. He had won this Face competition with an overwhelming advantage.

He had proven to all the high school principals that First High was the strongest high school, which brought him great Face.

Xia Qi nodded and followed the students onto the school bus.

"Brother Xia Qi, you must be very strong now, but I'm not bad either. I will definitely get into Shengjing University and prove my strength."

In the crowd, Yun Qingyue also saw Xia Qi, but she was too shy to go up and talk. Instead, she silently cheered herself on, determined to make Xia Qi look at her with new eyes.

After all the students were on the bus, Wang Changyuan also got on.

"Students, you've all worked hard this past month. I'm very relieved to see you all safe and sound."

"Everyone rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, the school will take the students participating in the martial arts exam to the examination hall."

The college entrance examination was divided into a liberal arts exam and a martial arts exam.

The liberal arts exam, as the name suggests, only tested cultural knowledge. This was generally for students with lower Talent Ranks or no combat Talent.

The examination site was at the school.

The martial arts exam, however, was the exam that 90% of students would choose.

The location was Yuzhang City.

It was the provincial capital of Xijiang Province.

Students needed to gather at the school first, and then be uniformly transported to the examination site.

The gathering time was 8 AM the next day.

So, early the next morning, after Xia Qi had used up all his daily amplification counts, he got up and ended his meditation.

"Shengjing University, here I come!"

With a slight focus in his eyes, Xia Qi strode out of his room, his steps steady.
