61: There is actually a psychological test in the college entrance examination!

All examinees heard the authoritative voice prompt.

Many examinees started wailing when they heard that the next round of the exam would be even harder.

“No way, they’re not even giving us a break? How are we supposed to take the next round of the exam in this state?”

“Hey, hey, hey, no way, if you tell me to give up now, I really will give up.”

“It’s over. I heard this round is more intense and dangerous. Should I give up?”

“I can’t give up like this, I’m not reconciled. It wasn’t easy to get this far. I have to at least experience the third round.”

The examinees were all in their respective rooms, so speaking wasn’t considered a violation.

However, there truly weren’t many examinees capable of continuing to the next round of the exam.

But if they were to give up now, everyone felt unwilling.

Suddenly, many found themselves in a dilemma.

The Great Examiners revealed mischievous smiles.

“Quite a few people should give up this round.”

“According to past experience, one-third, or even one-half, is possible.”

“Being able to pass the second stage actually means they can enter a regular university, but giving up here would be quite tough.”

The martial arts exam naturally wouldn't only test combat power; this small psychological test was actually part of the exam content.

To become a strong individual capable of standing alone in the future, strong psychological fortitude is also essential.

Retreating due to difficulty is not shameful.

But advancing despite difficulty is very valuable.

“They all look like they’re having a hard time choosing. In that case, let’s help them make a decision!”

As one Great Examiner’s voice fell, an authoritative voice followed.

“Those who give up the exam now will still be able to enter a regular university based on their scores from the first two rounds.”

“You have 30 more seconds to consider. If you don’t make a choice, it will be assumed you choose to participate!”

At this moment, the voice was like the bell of Yama, instantly crushing the psychological defenses of many examinees.

Many examinees, because they chose an appropriate difficulty and killed many monsters, could enter a university for further study.

Even if it was just a regular university, it was still better than a vocational college (in this other world).

“I give up, I’m not taking it anymore.”

“Continuing the exam is really asking for death. What if I don’t have time to shout ‘I give up’ and lose my life? I give up!”

“No strength, not doing it, enough points.”

“I’m the only son in my family, I can’t continue the exam.”

In just this short period, tens of thousands of examinees chose to give up.

Similarly, even more people chose to continue.

Martial Arts Exam, Martial Arts Exam!

It’s called a Martial Arts Exam! If you can’t go against the current, you’ll truly fade into obscurity.

So, there were still many examinees unwilling to give up.

Thus, after thirty seconds, the third round of the exam did not start directly, and the authoritative voice rang out again.

“Congratulations to the students who chose to stay and continue the exam. You may be proud of your decision today.”

“Currently, out of 53,549 examinees, 17,673 examinees chose to withdraw, and the remaining 35,876 examinees will continue the exam.”

Those who remain, regardless of their Talent, will receive appropriate bonus points during university admission.

The small psychological test has already proven that their hearts yearn to advance on a stronger Dao.

Universities will favor such students even more.

“Next, we will announce the results and rankings of the second round of the exam.”

“First place: Xia Qi, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, total score: 3000.”

“Second place: Yu Qiu, Tongcheng No. 1 High School, total score: 1720.”

“Third place: Yun Qingyue, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, total score: 1200.”

“Fourth place: Tang Yuan, Xicheng Fourth High School, total score: 1080.”

...

As soon as this ranking was released, Su Yuanchen, who was outside the examination hall, was no longer dizzy; he roared in anger.

“How is that possible? How could Xia Qi clear nightmare difficulty?!”

He also chose nightmare difficulty, and he also had S-Rank Talent, but he gave up after 3 minutes and 10 seconds, while Xia Qi got all the points.

Leaving aside the side effects of his Talent, the strength of the Level 15 Elite Ironclad Rhinoceros was already very high.

He could feel that even if his Talent had no side effects, it would be impossible to kill all the monsters.

At most, he might not be able to hold on for more than ten minutes, then he would have to kill while fleeing.

Trying to last as long as possible.

And Xia Qi? He actually got the maximum score.

If Xia Qi had chosen normal difficulty or elite difficulty, relying on a Rank advantage or Talent advantage, Su Yuanchen could have tolerated it.

But it was nightmare difficulty, a Rank he had personally experienced.

It was absolutely impossible to get a perfect score so easily.

You have to know, this was under circumstances where storage space could not be used, where every drop of energy had to be used meticulously.

How did Xia Qi do it?

Not only Su Yuanchen, but everyone outside the examination hall who was paying attention to the college entrance exam couldn’t help but have such thoughts.

Freak, Prodigy, and so on...

At least in the past decade of college entrance exams, no one had heard of a person getting a perfect score in the second round.

Principal’s lounge.

Wang Changyuan jumped up when he saw the report card.

An excited heart, trembling hands.

He even shook the water cup three times.

Jiangcheng No. 1 High School was completely famous because of Xia Qi’s existence. How could he not be excited?

A principal who was very familiar with Wang Changyuan patted Wang Changyuan with a look of jealousy, envy, and hatred, sighing.

“Old Wang, your ancestors must have truly smoked green smoke. A Prodigy like that appeared in your school, you must be thrilled.”

“Yes, yes, yes, my ancestors smoked green smoke.”

When Wang Changyuan reacted, he wished he could splash the hot tea in his hand on the other person’s face, “You’re the one whose ancestral grave is smoking green smoke! Can’t it be that I have the Wisdom Eye to recognize true talent?”

However, at the end of the day, Wang Changyuan was indeed lucky.

If it weren’t for this Prodigy, Xia Qi, among the many key high schools, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School wouldn’t really be ranked high.

No wonder other principals were envious of him.

The influence of a provincial top scorer is enough to affect a high school for several years.

The political achievements and benefits it could bring during this period were almost self-evident.

Inside the examination hall.

As a burst of light fell on each examinee, they were surprised to find that all their stamina and abilities had returned to their Peak.

It was like they had leveled up.

It turned out that those words just now were just a psychological test, and they weren’t actually forcing them to participate in the next exam without being in good condition.

“Next, we will proceed with the third round of the exam.”

“This round of the exam is also divided into four difficulties.”

“You will face a Boss monster.”

“Normal difficulty: 100 points.”

“Elite difficulty: 200 points.”

“Hard difficulty: 300 points.”

“nightmare difficulty: 500 points.”

The rules are the same as the previous round.

Time limit: one minute. Kill the Boss, and the exam is complete.

The previous round tested endurance, while this round tested burst damage.

Soloing a Boss monster, with a one-minute time limit, if successful, the exam is completed. If not successful, points are calculated based on damage dealt.

Such a challenge was no small pressure for almost all examinees.

Xia Qi was an exception; he felt no pressure at all.

“I choose nightmare difficulty!”
