76: A strong youth means a strong country

The practical combat exam began.

Yu Xiu remained unnoticed.

In fact, Yu Xiu had already anticipated this situation.

However, he had to complete the practical combat exam; otherwise, he would have left long ago.

During the exam.

All surveillance footage was to be recorded by the System, with scores given by instruments.

If Yu Xiu was not present, he would not receive a score for the practical combat exam.

However.

Fortunately, Yu Xiu had good self-control.

Until noon.

The practical combat exam was paused, and examinees were not allowed to leave the venue, only to rest and eat within the examination area.

The Martial Arts Association arranged nutritious meals, provided free of charge to these examinees.

Looking around.

Except for Yu Xiu, all other examinees were exhausted, collapsing onto the ground.

This included Chu Tianjiao.

Facing so many challenges, his physical strength naturally consumed a lot.

Fortunately, every successful defense of the arena brought an additional score bonus.

Otherwise, Chu Tianjiao would definitely not be willing to be the arena master; it was too tiring.

"Boss, you're so lucky."

"Look at us, we're almost dead tired; we really envy you."

During the lunch break.

Chu Tianjiao, Jiang Zuoyi, and Yang Duling, these students from First High School, gathered around.

Listening to Chu Tianjiao's words, they all looked at Yu Xiu with envy.

In Jiangtan City.

Whether it was Yang Duling or Zhang Yanping, these people were all arena masters.

They were also considered the top combat forces among this year's Martial Arts Exam students in Jiangtan City.

Especially these students who followed Yu Xiu all the way from the Training Camp.

Their combat power far surpassed other students.

"Rest well; it's just one more afternoon of exhaustion."

"Others wish they could be arena masters but don't have the chance; this is key to widening the score gap."

"As long as you keep winning, even if you occasionally lose one or two matches, your score ranking will still be at the forefront in Jiangtan City."

"Strive to get a ranking in Qin Province, and you can also apply to the Ten Famous Schools."

Actually, Yu Xiu knew in his heart.

They understood all these principles; they were just expressing their fatigue.

"Time to eat!"

At this moment, Chairman Liu walked over with a team of people, pulling carts full of nutritious meals.

"Chairman Liu, why are you personally delivering meals?"

A student next to him chuckled.

Chairman Liu chuckled, "I'm just idle, and I saw you all here, so I came to take a look."

Chairman Liu chuckled, "Your performance today has been excellent. I believe if you maintain your condition this afternoon, your final ranking will be among the top in Qin Province."

The students smiled and responded a couple of times.

Then they all took their nutritious meals and began to devour them; they were truly too hungry.

On the other hand, Yu Xiu ate his nutritious meal unhurriedly, chatting casually with Chairman Liu.

"If you ask me, when you came here, you should have brought a bed and just slept at the assessment point. By the time you woke up, the exam would have been over."

Yu Xiu responded, "I would like to, but that would be too ostentatious."

Chairman Liu smiled, "I've been the Chairman of the Jiangtan Martial Arts Association for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yours: a practical combat exam where no one challenges you."

"Just this one thing, and you'll become famous nationwide again. I don't know how many students envy you right now."

Yu Xiu shook his head, "I'd rather not have this kind of envy; instead of standing idly here, I'd rather have a big battle."

Chairman Liu rolled his eyes, "You sure know how to think. With your current strength, even I, the Chairman, am no match for you. How could these students be your opponents?"

"Your opponents now are probably only those older generation powerhouses."

"But they won't fight you."

"In my opinion, you should enter university, then go to the Secret Realm and ruins to fight Vicious Beasts!"

Next.

Chairman Liu chatted for a few more moments, then got up and left.

Yu Xiu and the others only rested for two hours, and at two in the afternoon, the practical combat exam once again began.

The result was still the same.

Until the very end.

The challenges between arena masters.

Yu Xiu still remained unnoticed.

Besides watching the show.

It was still watching the show.

Just like that.

For others, it was an important opportunity to change their fate, but in Yu Xiu's eyes, it was a boring experience.

This was the gap between people.

The practical combat exam ended.

The other students were exhausted.

Some laughed loudly, while others cried bitterly.

Only Yu Xiu had a calm expression.

As if nothing had happened.

"Congratulations, Boss, for securing the National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar position in advance."

With the practical combat exam over, even Chu Tianjiao was invigorated.

As a result.

His loud shout also drew responses from other students.

"Congratulations, Cultivation God, for securing the National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar position in advance."

"Congratulations, Cultivation God, for securing the National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar position in advance."

At this moment.

Because someone took the lead, all the examinees in the venue also began to shout excitedly.

The National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar.

Never before seen in Jiangtan City's history.

They felt honored.

"Old Liu, in this situation, I think we should drink three hundred cups!"

Huang Mayor looked at the shouts of tens of thousands of examinees in the examination hall, and he too felt his blood boil.

"Indeed, it should be so!"

Chairman Liu's face turned red, and he laughed loudly, "Jiangtan City, because of Yu Xiu, will henceforth be famous throughout Huaxia. I am very fortunate to have met a Prodigy like Yu Xiu during my tenure."

"I feel honored!"

"Congratulations to Yu Xiu for securing the National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar position in advance, hahahaha…"

Chairman Liu's shout also caused Huang Mayor to roar along.

At the same time.

In the audience.

They also started cheering.

Yu Xiu's name resounded through the sky.

In the hearts of Jiangtan City's people, Yu Xiu already had the name of a hero.

Now, with such strength, he had secured the National Martial Arts Exam's top scholar position in advance.

They also felt honored.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother is so amazing."

At this moment, Yu Qianqian's little face was also flushed, her eyes full of pride.

On the other hand, Yu Xiu's mother and aunt.

Were now teary-eyed.

His usually reserved father also had red eyes, his face full of pride.

"I want to be the top scholar too!"

Zhuang Wenya also howled with excitement.

"Qianqian, let's both become top scholars."

Yu Qianqian nodded heavily.

As the cheers rose and fell.

The national anthem of Huaxia also played over the broadcast, and whether it was the audience or the examinees present.

They all looked up and sang along.

This moment was so solemn.

After the national anthem ended.

On the high platform.

Huang Mayor held up the microphone and shouted, "When the youth are strong, the nation is strong. A great roc rises with the wind in a day, soaring ninety thousand li into the sky."

"Young people!"

"I wish you a promising future."

"You are the fortune of Jiangtan City, and also the glory of my Jiangtan City."

"Work hard!"

"Young people!"

As Huang Mayor's words fell, fireworks suddenly lit up around the examination hall.

In the gradually darkening sky, they instantly illuminated half the sky.

"Click!"

The examination hall doors opened.

The Huaxia national anthem played again.

The young people walked out of the examination hall with their heads held high, facing the sky full of fireworks.

The Martial Arts Exam!

Thus concluded.
