65: Void, Void! (Please support)

Shengjing University.

Void Realm Monster Research Lab.

"Teacher Xia, is Teacher Xia here?"

At the entrance of the research lab, a clear, bell-like female voice rang out, and a vibrant young woman frantically knocked on the door.

Creak.

The research lab door slowly opened, and Xia Dongliu looked at his student with a puzzled expression.

"Luo Zisheng, what's wrong?"

"Is Teacher Xu Nian here? Something big has happened! There's been a disturbance in the Void Realm!"

Luo Zisheng's tone was urgent, and her gaze swept inside the research lab, but she didn't find Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was the Instructor of Void Realm Research and the only person at Shengjing University capable of peering into the Void Realm.

"A Void Realm disturbance? Are you serious?"

Xia Dongliu's expression turned to one of astonishment, and he immediately felt a bad premonition.

"Quickly find Teacher Xu Nian. The Seer told me to inform you, so it's absolutely true."

After Luo Zisheng finished speaking, Xia Dongliu had already pulled out his phone to call his wife, but there was no answer.

"This is bad. She must be on the rooftop. You stay here and watch. I'll go find her."

Xia Dongliu's face changed drastically as he thought of something. He left a sentence behind and rushed to the tallest teaching building at Shengjing University at his fastest speed.

Soon, Xia Dongliu arrived on the rooftop. Looking at his wife's familiar back, his panicked heart finally settled.

"Nian'er, the Seer said there's a Void Realm disturbance..."

As soon as he spoke, Xu Nian turned around, and Xia Dongliu was instantly struck as if by lightning.

"Nian'er!"

He rushed towards Xu Nian, pulling her into his embrace, tears gushing out instantly.

Xu Nian's face was ashen, and her once bright and beautiful left eye was now covered in blood.

"It's too late, Dongliu. My left eye is already blind."

"What Xia Yuan said eighteen years ago has come true. The Void Realm... will invade again."

As her voice fell.

It seemed as if the entire earth trembled.

This....

Xia Dongliu looked in shock at the Formation shield in mid-air; a huge indentation appeared before his eyes.

"That's a Void Realm Tentacle. You can't see it. Only those with naturally unique pupils can see it."

Xu Nian weakly supported her husband, blood continuously gushing from her eye socket, a shocking sight.

"Don't speak anymore. I'll take you to the infirmary. Leave the rest to me."

"I will absolutely not let anything happen to the city that Brother Xia Yuan protected. You wait. I'll take you there now."

"No, you don't need to worry about me. Go quickly and stop it, or it will be too late."

At the same time, all the high-ranking leaders of Shengjing University, except for the principal, appeared on the rooftop.

"Xia Dongliu, Xu Nian's safety is not a concern. Come with us to stop the Void Realm invasion."

"Any later, and the entire country will be impacted!"

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Xia Dongliu helped his wife to the side, looking at the continuously indenting protective shield in the sky. A terrifying Aura spread out, and he stepped into the Void Realm with the others.

This was not an A-Rank Talent at all; it was clearly the power that only an SS-Rank Talent could possess...

Gaokao site.

The ten-minute exam time ended, and the announcement sounded immediately.

"The fourth round of exams has concluded."

"A total of 17,000 candidates participated in the fourth round of exams, with 169 successful candidates."

Whoosh!

As the solemn voice spread throughout the venue, everyone, both inside the dungeon and outside the exam hall, heard it.

17,000 people participated, and only 169 remained.

The pass rate was merely one percent!

This showed how abnormal the difficulty of the fourth stage was.

And despite such an abnormal situation, 169 people still managed to pass, indicating that these successful candidates were true powerhouses, capable of entering top-tier higher education institutions.

Based on the ratio of over a dozen Earth-Grade cities and more than forty middle schools, these 169 people were almost the top three strongest students from each middle school.

"No wonder they say that in the Gaokao, only those who laugh last are the winners."

A candidate who gave up shortly after the fourth round began said enviously.

"Who says it isn't? If not for the top three strongest in each middle school, I can hardly imagine anyone else passing such an abnormal exam."

"Alas, it's a pity. There were too many monsters. I only lasted five minutes, but the points I earned are enough to get into a key university."

"Five minutes is already amazing, isn't it? I couldn't even last a minute."

Outside the exam hall, tens of thousands of candidates discussed among themselves.

Many of them, though they lost, did so with honor. At least they tried and witnessed the beast tide, which was a great benefit.

Only Su Yuanchen stared fiercely at the ranking display.

He wanted to know how many points Xia Qi would get in this round. It couldn't possibly be a perfect score, could it?

Soon, the candidates' score rankings were announced.

"Now announcing the score rankings for the fourth round of exams."

First place: Xia Qi, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, Total Points: 13600.

Second place: Yun Qingyue, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, Total Points: 5785.

Third place: Yu Qiu, Tongcheng No. 1 High School, Total Points: 4810.

Fourth place: Chen Ye, Hancheng First High School, Total Points: 4480.

Fifth place: Zhang Chao, Yuzhang First High School, Total Points: 4450.

...

After this round of exams, the leaderboard underwent significant changes.

Yun Qingyue, who was previously third, leaped up to become second.

Yu Qiu dropped to third, with a point difference of about a thousand.

The fourth and fifth places also changed, with some dark horse candidates skilled in area-of-effect abilities surging forward to the front.

Ultimately, candidates who could pass the fourth round of exams were all exceptionally outstanding individuals.

Fluctuations in rankings were normal.

The only abnormal thing was the first place, Xia Qi!

When everyone's gaze turned to the leaderboard.

Hiss~

A surprisingly consistent gasp of cold air arose from outside the exam hall.

This....

They had heard of scores in the thousands, but no one had ever heard of someone getting tens of thousands of points in only the fourth round of exams.

"Oh my god, what the hell? Thirteen thousand six hundred points? Is this a score a human can achieve?"

"Forget thirteen thousand six hundred points; in all the previous Gaokao sessions, I've rarely heard of anyone exceeding eight thousand points in the fourth round."

"This is beyond belief. If I'm not mistaken, this score, as of now, seems to be a perfect score."

"Perfect score? Holy crap, is our Xijiang Province going to produce a national Gaokao top scorer?"

"Hey, it's really possible! As long as this candidate named Xia Qi can pass the fifth round of exams, the chances are really high."

"The fifth round... let's wait and see."

A monstrous wave surged in the hearts of the people outside the exam hall.

Wang Changyuan's hand trembled, spilling tea from his cup when he saw the scores on the screen.

Xia Qi, Yun Qingyue.

Two students from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School truly brought him honor, monopolizing the top two spots in the Gaokao.

Especially Xia Qi, with such a high score, even if he were to withdraw from the Gaokao now, entering Shengjing University would seemingly be no problem.

"How on earth did he do it?"

"Or did the Talent Potion given to him a month ago allow him to Breakthrough his limits with an impossible probability and elevate his Talent Rank?"

"That's impossible..."
