Chapter 88 - 86: As Difficult as Reaching the Heavens

Chapter 88: Chapter 86: As Difficult as Reaching the Heavens


Extra points for the college entrance exam.


After becoming a Preparatory Star Positioner, the Federation offers many privileges.


Every Martial Arts University will offer extra points and lower admission thresholds to compete for such talents.


This is also one of the important reasons why Jiang Ye came to participate in the Preparatory Star Positioner program.


However, Jiang Ye did not see any relevant descriptions on the contract just now.


"Extra points for the college entrance exam?" Tang Huochan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "That is not under the jurisdiction of our Examination Bureau."


"You need to investigate the schools you want to apply to, as each school has different standards."


"For example, the top ten prestigious schools have fewer or even no extra points," Tang Huochan said.


Jiang Ye’s eyes moved slightly, and he pursued, "What about Penglai University?"


Penglai Martial Arts University.


One of the most outstanding universities within the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.


Alongside it are two other universities at the same level.


Among these three universities, Penglai University is vaguely considered the leader.


All along, Jiang Ye’s primary goal has been to get into one of these three universities.


"Penglai University?"


Tang Huochan looked at Jiang Ye with surprise and said, "Penglai University’s extra points in previous years were 10 points."


"But this year, it might increase to 15 points, maybe even 20 points."


She smiled and said, "After all, this year’s Preparatory Star Positioner assessment has increased in difficulty."


"But exactly how much it will increase, I don’t know."


Tang Huochan looked at the handsome young man in front of her and said, "Little guy, aiming for Penglai University?"


Jiang Ye nodded.


Tang Huochan chuckled and said, "Penglai University is not so easy to get into."


"In past years, the cut-off score fluctuated around 870, with the highest reaching 900 points." She gently shook her head.


She had reviewed Jiang Ye’s information.


The most recent monthly exam score was 690 points.


With just over three months left until the college entrance examination, aiming for Penglai University? Very difficult.


Jiang Ye was somewhat surprised and said, "Penglai University’s cut-off score has reached 900 points before?"


points is the standard for the top ten prestigious schools.


"900 points is indeed the cut-off for the top ten prestigious schools," Tang Huochan explained, "but only with this score, you can only get into the last one of them."


"And after getting in, the benefits are just average."


"Whereas if you choose Penglai Martial University? Though it’s not one of the top ten prestigious schools, it’s the most elite within the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, and you can enjoy the highest benefits."


Tang Huochan smiled and said, "There are many who make this choice."


Jiang Ye suddenly understood.


He got it.


Better to be a leader in a smaller niche than a follower in a bigger one.


"A maximum of 900 points, the cut-off score for Penglai University is truly terrifyingly high," he marveled.


Tang Huochan covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Wait until you achieve the First Break, then think about these things."


"You just need to fill out your application a month before the college entrance exam."


"Choose carefully; it’s not like filling out your college preferences in the exam. You can only choose one school."


She reminded, "If you don’t reach that school’s score requirement in the exam, then these extra points are worthless."


Jiang Ye nodded, "Thanks for the reminder, Sister Tang."


...


Next, Tang Huochan explained some basic regulations for the Preparatory Star Positioners.


Like having to undergo training once a week to prepare for the path of becoming a Star Professional.


And some exclusive tasks for the Preparatory Star Positioners...


Half an hour later, Jiang Ye took the elevator to leave.


As he walked out of the building, he unexpectedly saw a purple figure.


Su Tong’Er smiled, revealing little tiger teeth, adorably, and waved her small hand at him: "Jiang Ye, come find me if you have the chance, I’ll be waiting for you at Cyan Yang High School."


"Who’s going to find you..." Jiang Ye murmured to himself.


He smiled and said, "Let’s see when I’m free."


"Okay," Su Tong’Er smiled sweetly.


The next moment.


"Mwah~"


She blew a kiss to Jiang Ye, blinked mischievously, and with a playful smile in her eyes, turned and walked away on her slender legs.


"Are you crazy?!"


Jiang Ye’s eye twitched, feeling the envious gazes surrounding him but feeling his face flush, hurriedly left the place.


After walking some distance, Jiang Ye suddenly felt like a flash of lightning struck him, he halted with a start.


"Something’s not right."


He stood still, talking to himself, "I’ve been through countless Illusion Realm trials, and my heart has long been rock-solid, how could I easily waver?"


"What was that just now..."


Jiang Ye touched his cheek, still feeling a slight warmth, and his heart immediately grew wary.


"The Tao Bone Talent, truly extraordinary."


He had often heard that those with the Tao Bone Talent possessed abilities that ordinary people did not have.


Like Wanyao Yang, with the ’Abyssal Gaze’ ability, can temporarily paralyze opponents.


Su Tong’Er? Obviously has such an ability too, but had never shown it before.


Just now, he’d experienced it firsthand.


His heart, like a rock, had almost wavered just because of Su Tong’Er; this ability was terrifying.


If in a fight, the opponent uses this ability, how would he withstand it?


"In the future, encountering the Tao Bone Talent, I must be more cautious," Jiang Ye thought to himself.


He stepped away, soon returning to Zhang Jianwu’s sedan.


"Director." Jiang Ye sat in the passenger seat, "Sorry to keep you waiting."


"Passed the assessment?" Zhang Jianwu looked at him with a smile.


Obviously, he had already received the news.


Jiang Ye solemnly said, "Mission accomplished!"


"Oh, come on," Zhang Jianwu laughed and teased, "It wasn’t my command."


"But you are indeed quite impressive, managing to secure the Secondary Preparatory Star Positioner?" He looked at him with astonishment.


Jiang Ye was surprised, "Director, you already knew?"


"What don’t I know?" Zhang Jianwu let out a chuckle, hit the gas, and said, "Let’s go and treat you to a feast!"


...


In a luxurious restaurant.


Jiang Ye and Zhang Jianwu sat facing each other.


"So, have you decided which university you want to apply to?" Zhang Jianwu asked, devouring seafood.


Jiang Ye pondered for a moment and frankly said, "Penglai University."


Even though he knew the difficulty.


He still steadfastly aimed for his goal.


Within the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, he had to choose the most elite one!


Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianwu neither confirmed nor denied; he simply said calmly, "Penglai University’s threshold this year might be higher than previous years."


Jiang Ye’s expression tightened.


The threshold will rise?


"But of course, it won’t exceed 900 points," Zhang Jianwu chuckled, "but it will definitely be higher than the usual 870 points."


"Maybe 880? Or 890? All possible."


He sipped his tea, smiling, "Think, how much are you short of?"


Jiang Ye didn’t speak, doing the math in his heart.


If Penglai University’s threshold this year shoots above 890 points?


That means he needs to improve by at least 200 points in the next three months to reach that line.


points, how hard is that?


As far as he knew, the class monitor Zhao Qingli spent 200,000 or 300,000 a month, yet only improved by 35 points in two months.


As for Jiang Ye.


Improving from 700 to 800 points isn’t particularly challenging.


But from 800 to 890 points? It’s daunting!


"It’s like reaching for the heavens." In his mind, these were the only four words Jiang Ye had.


It’s fine not to calculate.


But upon calculating the gap, he finally understood how unattainable 900 points were for the average student.


It’s like a path to ascend to the heavens, an impassable chasm, unreachable, untouchable.


Only the true elites... can leap across!


"So, do you still want to choose Penglai University?" Zhang Jianwu asked with a smile.
