Taoyang District, Building 12, Apartment 606.

Jiang Ye sat on the sofa, unusually not engaging in cultivation.

The little girl was hugging his waist, her legs curled up on the sofa, watching TV.

In the kitchen, Jiang Dahai and his wife were busy preparing a meal.

"Brother," Jiang Ting hugged him, whispering, "Are you nervous?"

"Nervous about what?" Jiang Ye looked down at the little girl.

"The scores are about to come out." Little Jiang Ting shrank her neck a bit, scared.

She seemed to recall the usual exams and the moments when scores were announced.

And she knew how crucial the high school exam was.

Just thinking about her brother's situation, she felt extremely anxious.

"What's there to fear?" Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile, rubbing the little girl's fair feet.

Was he nervous? He wasn't.

But he was indeed curious about his high school exam score.

The high school exam was different from the regular monthly tests; scores wouldn't refresh in real-time.

The specific scores would be released on the third day after the exam.

Only after multiple reviews by the Examination Bureau, Education Bureau, and others would they be announced.

Additionally, Jiang Ye hadn't undergone a skill test since his First Break, so he wasn't sure how many points he'd actually get.

"I have the 20-point bonus for the Preparatory Star Profession, I only need to score 870 points to meet the threshold for Penglai University," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Can he get 870 points?

Jiang Ye was confident, but not entirely certain.

After all, he didn't know exactly what level of skill was needed for that score.

As they waited, time passed.

"Ding!"

The clock in the house chimed once.

"It's ten o'clock!" Jiang Ting immediately sat up, nervously saying, "Brother, you can check the scores now."

"You can check the scores now?"

Li Anping also rushed out from the kitchen, not even having time to wipe her hands, and sat next to Jiang Ye.

"Ye." Jiang Dahai also came over, his face showing anticipation.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye suddenly remembered the Illusion Realm he experienced during the Star Sea Divine Path certification.

It was surprisingly similar to the current scene.

However, in that illusion, he had only scored 690 points, feeling utterly hopeless.

In reality, it certainly wouldn't be like that.

Jiang Ye shook his head, putting the thought aside.

He opened his wristband projection.

"Beep!" The projection appeared.

He clicked on the score page.

Entered student number, ID number, and exam admission ticket number.

[Student Jiang Ye, searching...]

A spinning circle appeared on the page, continuously rotating.

Beep!

The page refreshed.

[Name: Jiang Ye]

[ID Number: XXXXXX...]

[Admission Ticket Number: XXXXX]

[Total Cultural Score: 100 points]

[Total Martial Arts Score: 915 points (Raw score 895 points)]

[West Mountain Province Ranking: 199th]

[Martial Arts University Minimum Score Line: 360 points (Cultural score not less than 60 points)]

...

"915 points!?"

Seeing this score, Jiang Dahai instinctively exclaimed.

Li Anping also covered her mouth: "199th in the province? Oh my God..."

199th in the province, what does that mean?

West Mountain Province has millions of candidates every year.

This means Jiang Ye ranked within the top two hundred among millions!

Admittedly, West Mountain Province is a backward region, but such a ranking was beyond what the couple could ever dream of.

"Ye." Jiang Dahai incredulously said, "Refresh it again, are you sure there's no mistake?"

"How could there be a mistake?" Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile, but he refreshed the page nonetheless.

"915 points!"

Looking at the score on the page, Jiang Ye finally revealed a relieved smile.

Raw score 895 points.

This score already exceeded his expectations.

Half a month ago, he was only at 839 points.

In half a month's time, he improved by a whopping 50 points!

At a score over 800, even if a wealthy person threw money at it, they might not achieve such an increase.

"Great!"

Jiang Dahai was full of joy, hugging Jiang Ye's shoulder tightly, clenching his fist, saying, "That's my son for you!"

Li Anping's eyes were also wet, her eyes reddening.

The couple understood well the significance of this score.

Jiang Ye was destined not to be ordinary and would not follow in their footsteps!

"Brother, check what the scoreline for Penglai University is?" Jiang Ting urged.

She had long known Jiang Ye's aspiration.

Jiang Ye shook his head, saying, "The college entrance exam scores have just been released, the universities won't announce the score standards so quickly."

He wasn't worried.

With the raw score and the 20-point bonus from the Preparatory Star Profession, 915 points total.

Even if Penglai University's scoreline soared to over 900 this year, he could still get in!

"It's all set!"

Jiang Ye sighed in relief.

The persistence and effort throughout the year had finally paid off at this moment.

"I'll finish making the meal." Li Anping wiped her tears, smiling, saying, "Let's have a proper celebration today!"

Jiang Ye watched his mother leave.

Suddenly.

His eyes moved slightly.

[You have achieved a new accomplishment: As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, scoring only within the top two hundred in the provincial exam]

[Title Unlocked: Pretending]

[Reward: When underestimated by opponents, instantly increase 150% critical damage]

"..."

Despite being used to the system's antics, Jiang Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.

Pretending?

Does the system think he deliberately flunked to land within the top two hundred provincially?

"You really always find new ways to surprise me!"

Jiang Ye mused, looking at the reward this time.

"When underestimated, increase 150% critical damage?" His heart skipped a beat.

This was the highest damage achievement he had so far.

"But the word 'instantly' is intriguing." Jiang Ye rubbed his chin, "Does it mean that once opponents stop underestimating me, this effect disappears?"

This would have to be tested in an actual battle to be sure.

"I'll find a chance to try it out."

Jiang Ye didn't dwell on it, turning back to his room.

With the exam scores out, he planned to share the joy with a certain someone.

...

While Jiang Ye was checking his scores.

In a villa area in An City.

Zhang Jianwu sat in front of a computer.

As a grade director, the average score and top score of the senior year were crucial to his teaching record and entire career.

"Log into the system." Zhang Jianwu logged into the school's system backend.

After the exam scores were released.

The school system had already compiled and ranked the scores for the entire grade year.

"Beep!" The page refreshed.

"Jiang Ye, 915 points?" Zhang Jianwu's eyes lit up: "First in the city?"

"Raw score 895."

"Even just looking at the raw score, it's third in the city, but we're ranking by total score here."

"Jiang Ye, is first in the city!"

Zhang Jianwu smiled.

Jiang Ye, 915 points?

Zhang Jianwu's eyes widened suddenly.

An City didn't have a first place like this for a long time in the city.

At once, Zhang Jianwu immediately dialed Cao Feng's number to share the news.

After hanging up, Zhang Jianwu was momentarily taken aback, then he was amused and stopped worrying.

...

At the same time.

In the Eastern Domain's ten provinces.

"Thank you, Teacher Qiu, for your guidance."

Wearing a simple white dress, the cold, beautiful young woman bowed to the black-robed figure in front of her.

"Chen, your power is improving quickly, you can soon attempt the Fourth Break." said Teacher Qiu with intrigue.

"Yes, I plan to do it in a while," Chen Zilu replied.

"By the way, the college entrance exam results are out," he suddenly said with curiosity, "Did you ask about the student you recommended last time, how did he do?"

"It's been more than half an hour since the high school exam scores were released," she thought.

Jiang Ye must already know his results.

But Chen Zilu just had an ordinary teacher-student relationship with Jiang Ye; there was no way he would tell her so soon.

"Ring, ring!"

Chen's phone rang, and she paused, her gaze freezing for a moment.

The caller ID displayed 'Jiang Ye'.
