Using Wood as a Sword

Chapter 14 Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination! A Record-Breaking Achievement

The four people, excluding the white-bearded elder, all wore expressions of helplessness as they watched the constantly flaunting long-haired man.

Damn it! He really managed to show off!

However, the bloodline of the Eternal Night King had indeed been dormant for too long.

In history, it had only appeared once.

And that one time was over a thousand years ago.

The person who possessed the Eternal Night King bloodline was a notorious mercenary.

He cared about nothing but money.

Whoever paid him more was his master.

Betrayal and turning his back were even more common occurrences.

It was only because of his immense strength, disgusting abilities, and elusive nature that he was never brought to justice.

Later, due to offending too many people and his own greed, he was finally trapped and killed at the bottom of the sea.

Even so, before his death, he took a handful of people with him to be his burial companions, which could be considered quite formidable.

Hearing the long-haired man's words, the white-bearded elder chuckled and stroked his beard.

Then, from somewhere, he produced a student file for Lin Ran. He first filled in "Qingjing Yanyun University" in the university column, then wrote "Eternal Night King" under bloodline abilities.

Finally, he took out a confidential file bag and put the file inside.

Seeing this, the long-haired man couldn't help but spread his hands:

"Boss, he hasn't even agreed to join us yet..."

"Although our Qingjing Yanyun is the top university in the country, we're not without competitors."

"What if he goes somewhere else? This file..."

The white-bearded elder laughed:

"That's something for you department heads to consider."

"In any case, I've already written the file. If the person isn't brought here, I'll deduct five years of performance bonuses from each of you..."

"Hmm... and cancel all holidays! Yes, that's it!"

The other five people wore bitter expressions:

"Boss..."

The white-bearded elder waved his hand:

"My decision is made, you don't need to say more."

"Now that he's basically guaranteed to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"If I were you, I wouldn't waste more time here watching those people's meaningless fights."

"By now, they should all be on their way, right?"

Looking at the white-bearded elder's smiling face, the five people finally realized that their boss might not be joking...

So they hastily got up and rushed towards the door.

...

Within the secret realm.

The Frost Zombie King, with the Amaterasu flames burning fiercely on its body, had been pursuing Lin Ran for about two minutes.

At the beginning, relying on its terrifying speed, it had managed to put Lin Ran in a rather desperate situation.

But as time passed and the Amaterasu's burning continued, the Frost Zombie King's speed slowed down, its vitality dwindled, and its magic power weakened, even becoming somewhat listless.

For beings like zombies, whose mental strength was relatively weak, the effect of Amaterasu was exceptionally obvious.

Sensing that the Frost Zombie King was almost unable to run, Lin Ran smiled, drew his Tang blade, and infused it with Divine Might.

With one strike, he severed the Frost Zombie King's head, and with another, he pierced its heart.

Suffering successive heavy blows, the Frost Zombie King finally could not even stand and collapsed onto the ground, being burned to ashes by Amaterasu.

Following that, the secret realm's prompt sound also rang out at the opportune moment.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to Lin Ran, a candidate from Jiagu City First High School, for successfully passing the college entrance examination trial!]

[Now proceeding with score input...]

[Difficulty of completion: Level 6]

[Completion time: 17 minutes 42 seconds]

[Completion order: 1 (City ranking), 1 (Provincial ranking), 1 (National ranking)]

[Your college entrance examination score has been recorded!]

[Final assessment score: 750 points!]

[The record for the fastest college entrance examination completion time has been refreshed. The previous record was 30 minutes and 28 seconds.]

[Exclusive completion reward has been issued. Please check your mail.]

[In one minute, you will be automatically transferred out of the dungeon. Please wait patiently.]

First in the city! First in the province! First in the nation! Coupled with a perfect score of 750!

The most explosive news Lin Ran first grasped was this.

Doesn't that mean he became the top scorer of the college entrance examination?

And, he was a top scorer who broke the record for the fastest completion time!

Lin Ran immediately became excited.

Good! Very good! Excellent!

This way, he would not only receive the best cultivation resources, but everything in the future would no longer be a problem.

With the resilience of his Natural Spirit Body and the protection of the Divine Might space...

The world was vast, and he could explore it freely!

Nothing could stop his rapid growth anymore!

Now that time was up, it was time to go out and see the outside air.

*Swish!*

With a flash of white light, Lin Ran's figure instantly appeared in the center of the sports field.

*Wow!*

He was greeted by the overwhelming cheers of his junior and senior schoolmates, and the enthusiastic embrace of Zhou Yi.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"

Zhou Yi was so excited that he almost shed tears of joy.

Their Jiagu City, a small place, had produced a top scorer from its number one high school! And it was a national top scorer!

Not only that, but it was a perfect score and a national top scorer who had significantly broken the record!

His own future success, the bright future of the school, and even the takeoff of Jiagu City were all basically foreseeable.

Embraced by an old man and having his lines stolen, Lin Ran felt a bit awkward. He quickly slipped out unnoticed and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhou, there's no need to be so excited, no need to be so excited..."

"It's just a small matter, a trivial matter..."

Zhou Yi realized he had lost his composure slightly, cleared his throat to cover it up, and then said:

"Little Ran, you've done well! You haven't disappointed any of us!"

"You've brought great honor to our Jiagu City First High School!"

"Now that your results are so outstanding, I'm afraid various universities will come knocking soon."

"No matter where you ultimately choose to go, we will always respect your decision!"

"The education bureau is already in the process of receiving the university teachers."

"In at most two days, they should find you."

"For such an important life decision, Little Ran, you must consider it carefully."

"Feel free to ask me anything about admissions. I guarantee I'll answer everything I know!"

Lin Ran smiled:

"No problem! Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhou."

"Then we can talk about it here, I actually have many questions that need consultation."

"Besides, I'm waiting for someone else..."

As he spoke, Lin Ran glanced at the name Luo Qingyan in the "Enterer" column of the spatial rift beside him.

Zhou Yi immediately smiled knowingly:

"Alright, I'll start by telling you about the advantages of each university..."
