78: Tang Xia's dream of attending a top university

A War God Mentor from Imperial Capital University suddenly arrived at the waiting room.

The War King Teacher stood in awe, learning that the other party had come to watch Ye Yuan's combat assessment.

He hurriedly bowed and scraped, saying:

"Mr. War God, please come in!"

Although unauthorized personnel were not allowed in the waiting room, the Chaoyang War God and his entourage of super VIPs were clearly exceptions.

Imperial Capital University!

A War God Mentor!

Either of these titles was enough to make proctors from small places like them look up in envy!

Even if the proctors themselves were War King-level experts, they were nothing in front of a titled War God.

"Your Excellency, you are too kind."

Finally, the Chaoyang War God spoke, his voice deep and his breath long.

After saying this calmly,

while the War King Teacher was overwhelmed by the favor, the Chaoyang War God strode onto the high platform of the waiting room.

"Students, there's no need to be nervous. I am only here to watch the battles. Just perform as you usually would."

His sharp eyes quickly scanned the examinees as the Chaoyang War God spoke loudly, waving his large hand.

Ripples shimmered in the air,

and the examinees suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing against them, seeping into their foreheads.

Everyone instantly felt their minds become clear,

emotions like nervousness and worry vanished, and their moods quickly grew calm.

Some even received a buff, and their strength improved slightly.

The examinees' eyes sparkled with spirit, filled with continuous surprises.

Minister Wu, who was accompanying the Chaoyang War God, saw this and said with a chuckle:

"You are truly blessed to receive a blessing from the Chaoyang War God. This is a benefit other examinees couldn't even dream of!

Hurry and thank the Chaoyang War God!"

The examinees hurriedly shouted in unison: "Thank you, Chaoyang War God!"

Su Yan, sitting on the edge of the crowd, also followed along and said his thanks.

But his thanks weren't for the blessing just now, but... [Congratulations, you have copied an SSS-rank Skill: Glimmering Battle Intent (Permanent)!]

"An SSS-rank Skill from the Chaoyang War God, not bad, not bad!"

Su Yan buried his head in the crowd, beaming with joy.

He thought about doing it again once the CD (2 hours) was up.

As a War God, it was impossible for him to have only one SSS-rank Skill, right?

And at that moment.

The Chaoyang War God on the platform seemed to sense something, feeling slightly surprised.

But because there was no evidence and he couldn't be sure himself, he didn't pay it much mind.

Facing the thanks from the examinees, the Chaoyang War God nodded.

"Who is Ye Yuan?"

The Chaoyang War God asked.

With that call, a boy stood up from the very center of the front row among the examinees.

Instantly.

All the examinees' eyes focused on this boy.

He was sunny, handsome, and had an outstanding temperament.

Although he was only about 1.7 meters tall, his posture was exceptionally upright and firm.

"Wow, so he's the Ye Yuan who awakened an S-rank Void Realm Talent!"

"Impressive. He clearly could rely on his Family, but he insists on relying on his own strength!"

"I heard Ye Yuan has already been pre-admitted to Imperial Capital University.

Yet he still insists on participating in the combat assessment. This is a manifestation of great self-confidence!"

"If you ask me, we all have to thank Ye Yuan! If Ye Yuan weren't here, how could the Chaoyang War God have appeared?

So that War God's blessing just now, we all benefited from it thanks to Ye Yuan!"

The examinees whispered among themselves, their looks toward Ye Yuan filled with envy and gratitude.

Faced with these burning gazes,

Ye Yuan showed no change in expression; he was neither proud nor arrogant, maintaining a steady temperament.

The Chaoyang War God nodded slightly. "Not bad, a good prospect."

Receiving such an evaluation from a War God, the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth tightened as he said respectfully:

"Thank you, Mr. War God."

For young juniors like them,

being evaluated by a War God was a great honor in itself.

Let alone such a positive evaluation from a War God.

Yet Ye Yuan did not get carried away because of it,

remaining steady, restrained, and neither humble nor overbearing. Such Heart-Nature was truly rare.

The Chaoyang War God smiled for the first time since his arrival.

Then, accompanied warmly by Ye Tianhai and Minister Wu, he sat on one side of the platform.

Among the group that came,

besides the Chaoyang War God, Ye Tianhai, and Minister Wu, there were about a dozen others.

All of them were prominent figures in Jiangdong Province.

Including leaders from the City Demon Extermination Institute, municipal government officials, the Principal of Jinling No. 1 High School, and so on.

But these people could only stand behind the three of them now, without even a seat to sit on... "Ding-ling-ling!"

A crisp bell rang out over the waiting room.

It pulled all the examinees' thoughts back from the Chaoyang War God to the current National College Entrance Examination.

The combat assessment had begun!

The War King Teacher's temperament changed, his War King aura released as he announced loudly:

"The combat assessment for the difficulty group officially begins!"

"First candidate, Tang Xia from Class 12, Grade 12 of Jiangnan No. 2 High School!"

"Talent: B-rank Fire-type!"

"First Choice: Imperial Capital University! Assessment Difficulty: SSS-rank!"

Quickly.

Hearing her name called, Tang Xia, dressed in a purple dress, stood up bravely.

Su Yan was a bit surprised; he didn't expect Tang Xia to be the first one.

But what shocked him even more was... if he hadn't misheard,

Tang Xia's first choice was actually Imperial Capital University?

"Xia..."

Su Yan looked up at Tang Xia, who was standing beside him, his expression complex.

At this moment, as expected, from around him,

bursts of laughter broke out.

"Haha, this girl is brave. With a B-rank Talent, she actually dares to apply for Imperial Capital University?"

"I originally thought her coming to the difficulty group was impressive enough, but I didn't expect her to be aiming for Imperial Capital University!"

"What a pity, such a pretty girl, why can't she think straight?"

The laughter was somewhat grating.

Tang Xia's face was hot, but the ponytail behind her head flew high without a single tremor.

This even caught the eye of the Chaoyang War God.

He seemed surprised that a candidate with a B-rank Talent would dare to apply for the school he was from.

"Su Yan, anyone can laugh at me, but you can't!"

From her seat here,

Tang Xia suddenly dropped these words and resolutely strode toward the assessment arena.

Leaving Su Yan silent, a bitter smile in his heart: "Why bother?"

It's not worth it for me.

Ahead.

Tang Xia had already entered the assessment area.

The heavy door closed with a thud.

Fifteen minutes later.

A broadcast announcement drifted over the waiting room:

"Candidate: Tang Xia; Assessment Result: Failed!"

Su Yan sighed.

Before long.

Tang Xia walked back dejectedly.

Su Yan smiled and comforted her:

"It's okay, Xia. There are still two more assessment chances.

Imperial Capital University is indeed too far beyond your level. Let's switch to another university this time, and you'll definitely pass in one go!"

"No, Su Yan, I want to try one more time..."

But to his surprise, Tang Xia bit her lip and said with her head lowered.

Su Yan was speechless. "Don't be foolish. If you keep this up, you won't even be able to get into a first-class university!"

"None of your business!"

Tang Xia wiped her face and looked up, her burning, red face filled with a determined look.

After resting for a few minutes.

Tang Xia entered the assessment area again, her goal still being Imperial Capital University.

However, it was even faster this time.

Only five or six minutes had passed.

The result came out.

Still failed!

The examinees in the waiting room were suddenly overjoyed, all watching this stubborn B-rank Talent girl with great interest.

"Tang Xia, are you crazy!"

When Tang Xia walked back to her seat, Su Yan couldn't help but scold her.

Wanting to snap her out of it.

Tang Xia looked at him gloomily and suddenly let out a breath.

"I've already tried my best."

"Huh?"

Tang Xia spoke to the War King Teacher: "Teacher, there is one last assessment chance. I want to... change my university choice!"

The War King Teacher nodded and announced loudly:

"Candidate: Tang Xia, third assessment chance."

"Third Choice: Northwest Divine Strategy University! Assessment Difficulty: S-rank!"

Immediately after.

With Su Yan's encouragement, Tang Xia entered the assessment area for the third time.

A wave of discussion immediately broke out among the examinees.

Although Tang Xia had changed her choice to Northwest Divine Strategy University, which had lower difficulty among first-class universities,

still no one was optimistic.

After all.

Wanting to get into a first-class university with a B-rank Talent was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Just when everyone was waiting with parched throats and anxious hearts.

The broadcast voice suddenly echoed overhead.

"Candidate: Tang Xia; Assessment Result: Passed!"
