High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 113: No Longer a Youth


1 a.m.

Rooftop terrace.

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!" "Ha!"

A figure flickered constantly, letting out low, muffled shouts.

He sometimes punched, sometimes elbowed, and sometimes kicked, each move seamlessly connected without the slightest hesitation.

Every strike left a deep echo in the air.

"Swoosh!" The figure moved swiftly.

The training had reached its final stage, and his speed, powerful qi, and spirit were continually rising.

When all these reached their peak.

"Hoo"

Suddenly, Jiang Ye pushed off the ground, soared into the air, his thigh like a heavy sword unsheathed, slashing down.

"Boom!" A loud explosion!

Jiang Ye kicked a stone pillar.

Pale silver starry brilliance burst forth, a fleeting flash under the pitch-black night sky.

"Crack~" A visible crack appeared on the surface of the stone pillar.

Hoo...

Jiang Ye retracted his leg and stood firm, slowly drawing his cultivation to a close.

He looked at the stone pillar.

Next to that crack was a smaller one that Jiang Ye had made yesterday.

A slight smile appeared on his face: "Compared to yesterday, I've improved a little."

The final sprint before the high school exams.

Even the slightest progress might put him ahead of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.

"1 a.m." Jiang Ye glanced at the time: "Time to go back."

He got up and headed for the stairway.

"Buzz buzz!"

Just then, his communication watch vibrated.

"Li Zhichao?" Jiang Ye was slightly surprised to see the caller.

"Beep~" The call was connected.

"Jiang Ye, you're not asleep yet?"

"Just about to sleep," said Jiang Ye. "What's up?"

Li Zhichao replied with frustration, "I can't sleep, I'm so annoyed, the exam's tomorrow, and I still can't sleep, what should I do?"

Jiang Ye immediately understood.

It's insomnia due to the high school exams.

"Don't be anxious," Jiang Ye said with a chuckle, "The high school exams are the same standard as the usual monthly tests, just treat it like an ordinary exam."

"I know, but I just can't sleep," Li Zhichao sighed.

Jiang Ye consoled, "If you really can't sleep, get up and cultivate, missing a night's sleep isn't a big deal."

"Yeah, I don't plan to sleep either."

Li Zhichao continued, suddenly curious, "Jiang Ye, I heard you participated in that Star Sea certification, how did it go, did you succeed?"

"I succeeded," Jiang Ye did not hide it.

"That's incredible!" Li Zhichao said enviously, "I heard that certification can significantly enhance one's abilities."

"You might even surpass the class leader in tomorrow's exam!"

"Haha, I'll take your lucky words."

Jiang Ye laughed, "I wish you an extraordinary performance too, and get into the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Jiang Ye, I won't disturb you anymore," Li Zhichao said, "Go to bed."

"Okay."

The call disconnected.

Jiang Ye looked out at the pitch-dark night view outside the terrace.

An City, surrounded by mountains, is a small city in a valley, with no bustling night scene.

But this early morning, he noticed a few households still had their lights on.

"The night before the high school exams, who knows how many people are sleepless," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

People like Li Zhichao are probably not in the minority.

Twelve years of diligent study, three years of intense cultivation.

A turning point in one's life fate.

All of this will be revealed today.

For many candidates, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Fortunately, I have the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder," Jiang Ye glanced at the panel.

"Two days, leg technique improved by 5%."

"Star Martial Advancement Technique has also progressed to a new stage," Jiang Ye smiled.

Three months ago, he was indeed nervous about the high school exams.

But as the time approached, his mindset became increasingly relaxed.

The high school exams are not about competing at the moment.

Poise in critical moments comes from every bit of persistence and effort in normal times.

Now, Jiang Ye has enough confidence to embrace this turning point in his destiny.

"Going home." Jiang Ye walked into the stairway.

Tonight, he would also spend it in the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

...

June 7, 2326, 8 a.m.

The entire city's roads in An City echoed with the sirens of the traffic police.

For An City, the high school exams are considered a major event, and on this day, candidates could receive many special treatments.

Police vehicles cleared the way, traffic police escorted the candidates.

Across the entire city, there were even martial arts powerhouses from the police station and the Shadow Hunting Bureau, exuding powerful martial arts qi spirit, patrolling the city.

In previous years, there have been instances of the Divine Concealment Organization causing trouble at such times.

The whole of An City was in the highest defense state on this day.

Ensuring all candidates completed their exams smoothly.

In the Jiang household.

"Ye, don't be nervous about the exam," Jiang Dahai advised, "Just perform normally."

"I know," Jiang Ye nodded.

Actually, these are just idle words, but as a parent, they're unavoidable.

Li Anping said, "Ye, take the exam well, and come back tonight, Mom will make you a big meal."

"Brother!"

Jiang Ting ran over, holding his hand, and smiled, "Tell me what you want to eat, I'll go to the supermarket with Mom later and buy your favorites!"

"Just buy what you like, I'll eat whatever you eat," Jiang Ye pinched the little girl's cheek.

"No way, no way," Jiang Ting shook her head playfully, "I want to buy what Brother likes."

"I love beef," Jiang Ye smiled helplessly and had to comply.

"Okay, got it."

Jiang Ting smiled sweetly, blinking her big black eyes, "Brother, good luck on your high school exams, achieve great results!"

This little girl really has grown a lot; she even knows how to use idioms now.

Jiang Ye smiled and pinched her tender cheeks again, making the little girl blush.

After breakfast, Jiang Ye left home and embarked on his high school exam journey.

His examination venue was at his own school, An City No.3 High School.

At the school gate, several fully armed police officers guarded the exam passageway.

Jiang Ye stepped forward and authenticated his identity on the smart screen at the entrance.

"Beep!"

"Authentication successful!" The passageway opened.

Jiang Ye looked at the familiar campus, took a deep breath, and strode in.

...

June 7, 2326, the Blue Star Federation's unified college entrance exam officially commenced.

In the morning, the cultural exam.

In the afternoon, the four martial arts assessments.

This day is long, encompassing countless people's decades of effort.

This day is also short; compared to the past decades, it's merely a blink.

When this day ends, it signifies that this generation's youth has finally come to a perfect conclusion.

From then on, the youth are no longer youths.

The destiny of countless people also diverges from here.

...

June 9, 2326.

This is destined to be a special day.

Because on this day, across the entire Blue Star Federation, all the cutoff scores are being announced continuously.

The high school exam scores! They are out.
