World's Best Martial Artist

Chapter 80: Admissions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

June 18th, college applications.

Only now, Fang Ping found out the results of Yang Jian and the others.

Yang Jian did alright on his cultural studies exam but did not meet the minimum admission requirement of 605 points; he had gotten 597 points.

Compared to Yang Jian’s usual results, this was not bad.

Since he had missed the mark by 8 points, and his Vitality barely met the requirements, Yang Jian could not apply to Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Liu Ruoqi was the same. She had done well on the cultural studies exam, getting 653 points, which was even higher than Wu Zhihao’s by 8 points.

Like Yang Jian, she could not apply to Nanjiang’s local martial sciences university.

Because of them being so close yet so far, Fang Ping had been afraid they would be exceptionally disappointed.

However, when Fang Ping arrived at school, he realized they were not depressed—their mood was actually not bad.

...

Yang Jian did not wait for Fang Ping to ask and explained excitedly, “When the results came out, I immediately lost hope after seeing Nanjiang Martial Arts University’s application requirements!

“I was off by 8 points! My life nearly ended!

“I already stopped looking at other schools because Nanjiang Martial Arts University always had the lowest requirements in the Nanjiang Province.

“Then Ruoqi gave me a call...”

Liu Ruoqi automatically picked up where he left off. Her usual poker face had a hint of a smile.

“I called Yang Jian because I just happened to see Tiannan Martial Arts University’s admissions notice.

“Tiannan Martial Arts University is admitting more students this year, so their requirements are lower!

“Anyone with a Vitality of 115cal and a cultural studies results of 595 points can apply!

“I just managed to reach 115cal, and my cultural studies results are pretty good. If I apply to Tiannan Martial Arts University, the possibility of getting admitted is really high...”

Liu Ruoqi could not stay composed while saying all this and revealed a dazzling smile.

This girl was not bad-looking. She trained constantly, so her figure was very nice too. This smile made all the boys around her unable to stop themselves from staring at her.

After realizing her surroundings had quietened, Liu Ruoqi swept a glance over them, annoyed. “Enough!”

Wu Zhihao stopped staring at her but was a little flustered. “You’re quite pretty when you smile. Had I known earlier, I should have made a move.

“Now, those idiots at Tiannan Martial Arts University are going to reap the benefits!”

These words were said only half-jokingly. There were not many female students at martial arts universities. Even if there were, a lot of them had plain looks.

A girl who was skilled in both cultural studies and martial arts and was good-looking—this was too hard to find!

While Liu Ruoqi had been a quiet girl, it was not that nobody had been interested in her, but that her personality scared them off.

Who knew that once she was no longer stressed out, her personality would change so much?

It was a pity everyone was graduating and would go off to different places. Long-distance relationships were not that easy.

After Wu Zhihao finished speaking, Yang Jian laughed and said, “I also applied to Tiannan Martial Arts University. Although my cultural studies aren’t very good—it’s only 2 points more than the requirement—but my Vitality is higher by 1cal, so there’s a high chance I’ll be admitted too.

“I’ll look after Ruoqi as usual if when I go to Tiannan Martial Arts University...”

Son of a b*tch!

They cursed inwardly. They had forgotten about him.

Liu Ruoqi did not know how to react and did not continue the conversation.

They were all in a good mood. Fang Ping was also happy for them.

However, someone at the side furrowed their brows slightly and hesitated before saying, “Ruoqi, Yang Jian, Tiannan Martial Arts University...”

This was said by the guy who, on the day the examinations ended, had said his maternal grandfather’s neighbor who was a martial arts university student had died.

Seeing that he was now the center of attention, he thought for a moment before continuing. “I saw the notice about Tiannan Martial Arts University’s mass admissions too.

“You seem to have seen the notice but didn’t see the other news...”

“What?”

Yang Jian hastily followed up. He had been lost in joy, he did not have time to see others.

“Tiannan Martial Arts University’s admissions this time, and the fact that they lowered their requirements, I heard it’s because Tiannan Martial Arts University had gotten together a group of student rescuers when the earthquake happened a while ago.

“Because of that, a lot of students lost their lives during the earthquake...

“This isn’t Tiannan Martial Arts University’s first mass admission!

“You all know I pay more attention to these things because of what happened last time. I also take note of news about martial arts university students dying.

“Tiannan Martial Arts University is very dangerous. Every year, there’s always a case of their students dying.

“Five years ago, Tiannan Martial Arts University had a mass admission too, and it was because many of their students died.

“This year is like that too...”

As the boy spoke, his voice lowered. “I suspect it’s not just because of issues with training. There are definitely some other hazards that make the death toll so high.

“Anyway, Tiannan Martial Arts University’s much more dangerous than Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

“Aside from Tiannan Martial Arts University, a few of the other martial arts universities are like that too. Their death toll is very high...”

Once these words were spoken, the rowdy atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Some things were not paid attention to by everyone. After all, these schools were too far from their school. Everyone had had their sights set on Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Moreover, this type of news would not be officially publicly announced. It would only circulate through some small channels online.

Unless one was very interested in it, the average person would not notice these news.

It was also because of that incident that happened to someone he knew that this student named Liu Tao paid attention to these things.

When he found out Liu Ruoqi and Yang Jian were applying to Tiannan Martial Arts University, despite being a little hesitant, Liu Tao still shared his knowledge.

“Liu Tao, what do you mean by other hazards?”

Wu Zhihao quickly asked. The class had just these few martial sciences examinations students, so they knew each other quite well.

Now that Liu Ruoqi and Yang Jian had applied to Tiannan Martial Arts University, if it really was too dangerous, then they should think it through.

Liu Tao shook his head. “I was just guessing. Whether or not there are other circumstances, I’m not too sure either.

“However, Tiannan Martial Arts University really has lost quite a few students in these past few years.”

“Ruoqi, Yang Jian...”

Before Wu Zhihao could finish speaking, Liu Ruoqi suddenly interrupted. “Don’t stop me! It’s so rare for a martial arts university to have a mass admission—no matter how dangerous it is, I’m not giving it up!

“After all, martial artists must fight!

“I’m not letting this opportunity slip away right in front of my eyes!”

Yang Jian, who had become used to acting dumb, also turned serious. “What Ruoqi said is right. This opportunity is right in front of our eyes. If we don’t grasp it, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives!”

Fang Ping, who had been standing off to the side, had not warned them off, but he did have other thoughts.

Was it because the missions were too difficult that Tiannan Martial Arts University’s death rate was so high, or was it because the students were not strong enough?

Or was it...

There were maniacs like the ones that attacked him before over there?

Previously, when he was at Auspicious Sun’s Department of Investigation Services, he heard the department’s people say that those maniacs’ base camp was not at Nanjiang and was somewhere else.

If these people’s base camp was in Tiannan, it could explain the high death rate.

The other martial arts universities that Liu Tao mentioned had high death rates as well were possibly in similar situations.

According to Wang Jinyang, the Big Two were also very dangerous, but because the students, teachers and school authorities there had incredible strength, even if there were dangers, they may have been overlooked or resolved.

Liu Tao did not mention the Big Two. Fang Ping did not know if it was because that information was sealed or if the Big Two’s death rate were not as high as the other martial arts universities.

Noticing that the others were not speaking anymore, Fang Ping smiled. “Danger is everywhere. We shouldn’t be overly worried.

“As long as we are strong enough, any dangers met can be overcome.

“Therefore, what we should do is constantly improve ourselves, so we’ll have the capability to face these dangers.”

It was not easy for Liu Ruoqi and Yang Jian to obtain this opportunity. How could they let this go?

If Fang Ping were them, he would also cling to it for dear life. Even if he had seen someone die with his own eyes, he still would not give up, let alone hearing about it.

Liu Tao did not say much else. After all, these were all his own guesses.

...

Among the few martial sciences examinations students, Fang Ping applied to Magic City Martial Arts University as his first choice, and his second choice was Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Due to Wang Jinyang’s previous warning, Wu Zhihao applied to Nanjiang Martial Arts University, and his alternative school was a regular martial sciences university in Magic City.

Liu Ruoqi and Yang Jian applied to Tiannan Martial Arts University, their alternative being cultural studies universities.

Because the others did not meet the requirements, they all applied to cultural studies universities.

Fang Ping’s deskmate Chen Fan did well in this exam. He had scored 632 points, which was higher than Fang Ping’s by 5 points. His first choice was East Sino Nation Normal University, and he had filled in Nanjiang University as his second choice.

These two universities both had martial sciences majors.

East Sino Nation Normal University was also situated in Magic City. Many students’ first choices were universities in Magic City and Capital City.

As they filled in their application forms, their class teacher Liu Anguo smiled so wide it was like his face was blooming!

His was an average class, yet their results this year were frighteningly good!

He had been shocked, himself!

Fang Ping was applying to one of the top two martial sciences institutions in the Sino Nation—Magic City Martial Arts University. Wu Zhihao was applying to Nanjiang Martial Arts University, and another two other people were applying to Tiannan Martial Arts University.

If all of them were admitted, 4 people would be going to martial arts universities!

There were only a total of 5 martial arts university students from Sun City No. 1 High School last year.

On the other hand, the normal class Senior (4) could have 4 people going this year, including one Big Two student. Liu Anguo could not be happier.

The previous most well-known student of Sun City No. 1 High School, Zhou Bin, did not have a Vitality of 130cal and was not fated for the Big Two. He could only apply to other martial arts universities.

Senior (1)’s results were not as good as their Senior (4)’s.

Senior (2) was still alright. Because the Tan brothers were there, there were a few who could get into martial arts universities.

After some calculation, if Sun City No. 1 High School’s luck was good, they could have around 10 students going to martial arts universities!

Possibly even more than 10!

Due to Tiannan Martial Arts University’s enrolment expansion, quite a few students who had not met the original requirements applied to Tiannan Martial Arts Universities.

If the acceptance rate was high, there might even be twelve or thirteen students.

In previous years, this would have been hard to imagine.

...

After filling in the applications came the wait for the notices.

Still, the process was very efficient. Normally, the results would be out by the end of June.

Everyone had gathered and rejoiced together once already, so they did not gather again this time. After agreeing to let each other know when they received their admission notice, they each went their own way.

...

The end of June.

Fang Ping received an admission notice from Magic City Martial Arts University!

Although his general studies were off by a few points, his Vitality was determined to be 149cal during his assessment, so he was still admitted.

At the same time, Wu Zhihao and the others also got their results.

Wu Zhihao, the Tan brothers, Zhou Bin and Chen Jie were all admitted to Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Liu Ruoqi, Yang Jian and another 3 students from other classes were admitted to Tiannan Martial Arts University. Tiannan Martial Arts University had admitted a lot of students this time, exceeding Fang Ping’s predictions slightly.

Sun City No. 1 High School had a total of 11 people who managed to get into martial arts universities. The whole of Sun City was shocked!

Aside from Sun City No.1 High School, other schools also had students going to martial arts universities, of which Nanjiang Martial Arts University and Tiannan Martial Arts University had the most with a total of 8 students admitted.

From the class of 08, Sun City had a total of 19 students going to martial arts universities—the highest number in their history!

It was mostly thanks to Tiannan Martial Arts University, who had accepted 8 of Sun City’s citizens. Otherwise, there would not have been that many.

Based on this scale, Tiannan Martial Arts University had probably accepted around 300 people from the Nanjiang Province!

The number of admissions they made nationwide might have been even higher, which was out of many people’s expectations.

When Fang Ping knew about this, he could not help thinking, ‘They can’t be using them as “cannon fodder”, right?

‘They’re admitting so many students at once. Does Tiannan Martial Arts University have that many resources available to take care of them?

‘Or it might be that the number of students they lost in the previous earthquake was even higher than what Liu Tao said.

‘If it wasn’t because too many people died, why would they be admitting so many?’

Fang Ping was full of doubt and mentally noted the school “Tiannan Martial Arts University”. After all, Liu Ruoqi and Yang Jian were admitted.

Fang Ping prepared to consult Old Wang on this matter. If there really were any dangers, he would warn Yang Jian and the others.
