7:00 PM.
After dinner, Jiang Ye walked to his room, ready to begin a night of cultivation.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, his wristband vibrated.
"A file from Director Zhang?" Jiang Ye’s expression changed slightly as he opened the wristband’s projection.
Beep~!
The file opened.
"Preparatory Star Profession Assessnt Plan?"
Seeing this title, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel a surge of energy as he began to read it carefully.
Soon, he had skimd through the docunt.
"This assessnt will last seven days."
"The first five days, go to the designated area to hunt the Shadow Race."
"Within five days, you must kill 1000 heads of the Shadow Race; those who don’t et the kill count will be eliminated."
"On the sixth day, rest for a day."
"On the seventh day, those not eliminated will gather at the Examination Bureau for the Prep Star Profession specialty assessnt."
As he quickly finished reading.
A look of shock appeared on Jiang Ye’s face.
"To kill more than 1000 heads of the Shadow Race in five days?"
This...
Even slicing through lons and vegetables isn’t that fast, right?
"Buzz buzz!"
The communication watch vibrated.
Jiang Ye answered the call.
On the other end, Zhang Jianwu’s voice ca through: "You saw the assessnt plan, right?"
"I saw it." Jiang Ye was a bit surprised: "Director, in five days, we have to kill 1000 heads of the Shadow Race?"
"Yes, I was also a bit surprised." Zhang Jianwu sighed: "Normally, for the Prep Star Profession Assessnt, such a level of Shadow Disaster only requires killing 500 heads."
"500 heads?" Jiang Ye furrowed his brow.
That’s not a small number either.
But compared to 1000 heads, it certainly feels much more lenient.
"Why is it so strict this ti?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help asking.
Zhang Jianwu said: "I looked into it and heard that starting this year, the Federation has increased the benefits for Preparatory Star Professionals and Star Professionals."
"So the assessnt standards have also been raised considerably."
Jiang Ye’s expression changed, realizing that this statent could also be interpreted in reverse.
Because the assessnt standards have been raised, so have the benefits.
After all, Star Professionals face many dangers, and the Federation likely needs more elites, rather than just anyone.
"Jiang Ye, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for you either."
Zhang Jianwu laughed: "Haven’t you always wanted to apply to the Eastern Domain’s top ten provinces? Originally, universities there only offered a maximum of 10 extra points."
"But now, maybe it can be over 20 points, or even more."
Jiang Ye nodded.
In the university entrance exam, an extra ten points could potentially an surpassing tens of thousands of people.
"Of course, the prerequisite is successfully passing the assessnt." Zhang Jianwu added: "Killing 1000 heads of the Shadow Race in five days is a bit challenging for you."
"It is a bit challenging." Jiang Ye nodded in agreent.
Zhang Jianwu said: "Don’t be discouraged. Tomorrow, I’ll give you sothing, and by then your combat power will have an incredible boost."
"An incredible boost?!" Jiang Ye slightly bewildered.
What could it be for the Director to use such a description?
"You’ll see by tomorrow." Zhang Jianwu laughed: "Have you refined all your Star Energy?"
"I have." Jiang Ye nodded.
During the Star Sky Refinent, he had already refined nearly ten thousand strands of Star Energy completely.
But Zhang Jianwu didn’t know about this.
He still thought Jiang Ye needed like an ordinary person, to take more than half a month to refine it.
"As long as it’s refined."
Zhang Jianwu continued: "Once I give you that item, you’ll also have a ans of defending yourself."
"A ans of defending myself?"
A vague guess surfaced in Jiang Ye’s mind, but he wasn’t sure.
"Oh, Director, what exactly is the specialty assessnt?"
According to the assessnt plan.
On the seventh day, those not eliminated must gather at the Examination Bureau for the specialty assessnt.
"It’s mostly related to the Star Profession." Zhang Jianwu said: "Usually, it consists of two to three assessnts."
"You need to defeat most of the participants and secure one of the top three positions to pass."
Jiang Ye listened attentively.
"For this Prep Star Profession Assessnt, besides students from Cyan Yang High School, there will also be students from Cyan Yang Martial Arts University and so high school students from nearby small cities." Zhang Jianwu shared the information he had.
"University students are participating too?" Jiang Ye showed a look of surprise.
Cyan Yang University is a Martial Arts University located in Cyan Yang City.
Though it isn’t part of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, it’s ranked in the middle among the hundred ordinary martial arts universities.
Zhang Jianwu chuckled: "For the Prep Star Profession Assessnt, as long as soone is below the Second Break, they can participate. Naturally, university students can too."
"But don’t worry."
"At that ti, the Examination Bureau will suppress you all to the sa level." Zhang Jianwu added.
Jiang Ye nodded.
Fairness and impartiality are the priorities of the Examination Bureau, so there’s no need to worry about that.
"Thank you for the reminder, Director." Jiang Ye expressed his gratitude.
He knew that much of this information was gathered by Zhang Jianwu from various sources.
Even if it wasn’t considered confidential, it wasn’t sothing an average person could know.
Having this much information about such an important exam ahead of ti already put him ahead of many others.
"No need to thank ."
Zhang Jianwu sighed: "I have just this one recomndation quota, and if you can truly beco a Prep Star Professional, it benefits as well."
"Jiang Ye, good luck!"
"Yes, good luck!"
Jiang Ye nodded firmly.
...
After disconnecting the call, Jiang Ye moved to the center of the room.
He briefly sorted through the information he had gathered.
"Killing 1000 heads of the Shadow Race in five days... and then competing with students from Cyan Yang High School and even Cyan Yang University for the top three spots?"
Jiang Ye took a deep breath: "Is this how challenging the Prep Star Profession Assessnt is?"
It’s truly difficult!
Indeed, no matter in which world, the path to establishnt is fraught with challenges.
However, Jiang Ye has always believed that there’s no such thing as sothing good falling from the sky.
Only through arduous effort can one reap substantial rewards.
"Cultivation."
Jiang Ye assud a fist stance and began cultivating the "Eight Thunder Sounds Fist."
"Hoo~"
A wisp of breath traveled through his body following his breathing.
Currently, this high-level Art Technique is nearing Great Success.
A surprising amount of breath he inhaled—and as much as thirty to forty percent—could enter his ridians.
In the beginning, it had only been one percent.
This ant his control over his breath had increased by thirty to forty tis.
This leap forward also made him more adept with this Art Technique.
"Hoo!" "Bang!"
Jiang Ye continued his cultivation, each move blending steel with tenderness, becoming more adept.
Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Minor Success (80%→81%)
Unconsciously, this high-level Art Technique had once again made substantial progress.
...
At 1:00 AM, Jiang Ye again entered the Second Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder for grueling training.
For this entire month, he had never stopped honing his skills in the Illusion Realm and through grueling training.
Although his Martial Arts Will was already strong.
Martial Arts has no limits.
Martial Arts Will is no exception and has no upper limit.
Jiang Ye had heard that those martial arts powerhouses standing firm in the Starry Sky had Martial Arts Will so powerful that it was visible to the naked eye.
This has always been the direction he pursued.
...
7:30 AM.
Jiang Ye got up and went to the living room.
Li Anping and Jiang Ting were already seated at the table having breakfast.
"Brother, you finally woke up!" Jiang Ting saw Jiang Ye and ran off the table to greet him.
"Little girl."
Jiang Ye smiled, ruffled her hair, and carried her to the dining table.
"Mom, why hasn’t Dad been ho for the past few days?" Jiang Ye asked Li Anping confusedly.
Although Jiang Dahai worked the late shift at the Shadow Hunting Bureau.
He usually ca ho for breakfast in the mornings.
But these past few days, Jiang Ye hadn’t seen his adoptive father’s figure.
Li Anping smiled and said, "Your dad went on a business trip to Cyan Yang City a few days ago, didn’t he tell you?"
"Cyan Yang City?" Jiang Ye’s face suddenly froze.
