"High?"
Fang Shi looked at Lin Chen and smiled.
"Your results ranking top 20 is actually very normal."
"Though your body level is low, your combat level has already reached the First Energy Level's limit."
"That limit has blocked quite a few people."
"Your combat amplification multiplier is quite high."
"Among this group of blocked students, you're definitely in the top few."
"If your body level can continue improving and your combat level fully reaches Second Energy Level—"
"Your ranking could even squeeze into the school's top 10."
Fang Shi smiled and patted Lin Chen's shoulder. "So keep working hard, young man."
"First Energy Level and Second Energy Level are completely different concepts."
"If your goal is a good university, then you must break through to Second Energy Level in the next month or so."
Fang Shi encouraged him.
In his view, Lin Chen undoubtedly had this talent.
Average family circumstances, yet able to reach First Energy Level's limit.
If he had more resources, he'd probably have broken through to Second Energy Level long ago.
"University, huh?"
Lin Chen stood up and looked around.
He'd finished his assessment relatively early. Natsuki Subaru was still continuing his, so Lin Chen walked out of the classroom to wait for him.
Fang Shi's words still echoed in his mind.
He had a clearer understanding of his own strength now.
Thinking about it suddenly, his current results were actually quite good.
Because in his predecessor's memories, in all of Class 2, only Xia Mi and Jotaro had combat levels exceeding First Energy Level.
And these two were both freaks.
Solidly in the school's top five.
And Xia Mi's public results alone might have already reached the school's number one level.
He seemed to have actually become Class 2's third place.
Less than a week after transmigrating, he'd already gone from class nobody to class top three, school top 20 level honor student.
The progress couldn't be called anything but fast.
Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh at the cheat's power.
And this was far from his limit.
With a thought, Lin Chen's panel appeared.
[Sun Breathing LV3 (15/50)]
[Sun Breathing Swordsmanship LV3 (2/50)]
Under his current full training conditions, breathing technique and swordsmanship proficiency both increased by six points or more per day.
In less than a week, his breathing technique could break through to LV4.
Which was Pillar-level standard equipment, Total Concentration: Constant.
This stage provided quite high body amplification and could accelerate body training—equivalent to using breathing techniques to train the body every moment.
Swordsmanship wouldn't lag by more than a few days before reaching the same level.
Plus after selling the Nichirin blades, he'd have enough money to buy some physique-strengthening resources.
His body level, combined with breathing techniques and training resources, could also rapidly improve.
At that time, his combat level would easily break through to Second Energy Level.
"After I get back, I should properly look into university information."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
His information about this world's martial arts universities was still just his predecessor's memories.
His predecessor's goal had been Haido First Martial Arts University.
Sounded impressive, but Haido actually wasn't a big city.
Haido First Martial Arts University wasn't a very good university either.
By his previous life's classification standards, it probably wouldn't even qualify as a second-tier school.
Even with that, his predecessor's previous results had barely been enough.
But Lin Chen now could directly throw this kind of university out of his application list.
His goal was 985—top-tier martial arts universities.
Well, though he still wasn't too clear which universities were this world's 985-level martial arts universities. (TL/N: 985 Universities refer to China's Project 985 - an elite group of top-tier Chinese universities established in 1998, hence "98" + May = "985")
Lin Chen's thoughts jumped around. He thought again of the school's rewards.
If he ranked in the top 20, he wondered if he could get those so-called school rewards.
Xia Mi had said this time was an opportunity.
Pompeii also said that to reward students who did well in mock assessments, the school leadership had bled a bit.
Previously, Xia Mi had gotten an A-rank Hybrid Serum from school leadership.
Lin Chen didn't ask to get an A-rank Hybrid Serum.
A B-rank would be fine.
You had to know that even the C-rank Hybrid Serum he'd seen in mall ads cost 200,000.
Not to mention B-rank—probably even selling all three Nichirin blades wouldn't be enough.
As for A-rank, that was probably an astronomical figure.
S-rank was basically impossible. Even in the Dragon Raja world, S-rank hybrids were quite rare.
Wanting to become an S-rank hybrid with one injection—that was just wishful thinking.
Lin Chen was quite attracted to Hybrid Serums.
Even if he didn't get one this time, after selling the Nichirin blades, he planned to buy a C-rank from the mall.
Not because he valued the hybrid's stat boost that much.
He wanted to see if Hybrid Serum could help him unlock another class.
Just like how he'd unlocked the Sun Breathing Swordsman class through breathing technique swordsmanship.
Of course, not just Hybrid Serum.
Before, it was no time and no money.
Now Lin Chen had some strength and some money. It was time to understand this world more deeply.
"Yo, Lin Chen!"
While Lin Chen was thinking—
A familiar voice rang out behind him.
In the past, hearing this voice, Lin Chen might have jumped.
But now, he'd completely desensitized to this voice's owner.
"Done with your test, Class Prez?"
Lin Chen turned around. Behind him was Xia Mi showing a cheerful smile.
"How hurtful, Lin Chen. Facing a beautiful girl's friendly greeting, you have zero emotional reaction?"
Xia Mi's mouth spouted nonsense, rather conflicting with her delicate, flawless appearance.
Not far away, the tall and sturdy Jotaro also walked over.
"How'd you do?"
Jotaro asked.
"Body level 3.3, combat level 9.9, amplification multiplier 3."
Lin Chen spoke.
At the same time, he spread his hands somewhat helplessly.
"Unfortunately, just missed reaching Second Energy Level by a bit."
"Mm, not bad."
Jotaro was slightly surprised, but his expression remained calm as he nodded.
But Xia Mi beside them was completely different.
"Jotaro-aniki, didn't you hear him showing off?"
"At a time like this, you should say something like 'Wow, Lin Chen, you're so amazing' to flatter him."
"Otherwise, won't Lin Chen be too pitiful?"
Xia Mi rolled her eyes, saying some nonsense.
Then the next moment, she leaned weakly against Lin Chen's chest and spoke in a sweet, delicate voice.
"Wow, Lin Chen, you're really so amazing~"
Honestly, in that instant, Lin Chen's heart really did skip a couple beats.
No helping it—just human instinct.
However, this flutter was quickly pressed back down.
Because this slender jade hand resting against his chest could also turn into a sharp dragon claw at any moment.
Then easily rip through his heart.
His current goal was to become Happy Superman.
The dragon-riding grand ambition could only continue to be postponed for now...
