After breakfast, Mom and Dad took Zhang Chen to the doorstep of his home, giving him worried instructions:
"Head home early after the exam!"
"Got it!"
With a piece of bread in his mouth, Zhang Chen rushed towards the school.
It was strange, he had no memory of what the school he was about to go to looked like, nor who his classmates would be.
Even this road, he only recalled the surrounding environment and the direction to the school as he ran.
Although this was illogical, Zhang Chen's mind didn't find anything wrong with it. As he saw his classmates, their names, habits, and past memories naturally came to mind.
Soon, he arrived at the school.
Several security guards stood at the school entrance, checking each student's admission ticket and verifying their facial and identity information.
Zhang Chen joined the queue to enter the school gate.
Just then, a luxurious car slowly stopped by the roadside.
A bodyguard in a black suit got out of the car and opened the door.
Immediately, a pair of shapely, fair legs emerged from the car, followed by the whole person.
The moment this girl appeared, all eyes were drawn to her.
She was wearing a hip-hugging skirt, a fitted low-cut blouse, and her jet-black hair was straight and glossy. With bright eyes and pearly teeth, she was stunningly beautiful.
Her looks and figure were both top-notch.
"My goodness, I'm so honored to be in the same exam room as Zhao Xiyue!"
"Is she Zhao Xiyue, the top scorer in the joint high school entrance exam? Not only is she talented, but she's also beautiful!"
"More than that, her family background is also excellent. She's a wealthy young lady – rich, beautiful, with a great figure, and talent. She's simply a perfect woman."
"Alas, this is a gift from heaven. We simply can't compare."
Listening to the discussions around him, Zhang Chen couldn't help but let out a hum.
"Zhao Xiyue? No wonder the name sounds so familiar. So she's the top scorer in the joint high school entrance exam. Such a talented woman is indeed well-known."
"However... why do I feel so close and familiar when I see her?"
"Could it be that because she's beautiful, I naturally feel drawn to her?!"
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly.
His own academic performance was only average, not even ranking in the top few at school, let alone comparing with the top scorer of the city-wide joint high school entrance exam.
The gap in grades was immense; they were from completely different worlds!
At this moment, Zhao Xiyue, who was walking towards the gate, also saw Zhang Chen.
The moment their eyes met, Zhao Xiyue couldn't help but freeze, as if recalling something. However, the memory felt hazy and elusive.
She furrowed her brows slightly, then continued walking forward.
As the top scorer in the joint entrance exam, she had the privilege of not queuing and could enter the exam room first.
After entering the school gate, she glanced back at Zhang Chen again, her gaze filled with a complex expression.
"Wow, Zhao Xiyue seems to be looking at me, and she looked twice! Do you think she's interested in me?!"
A student standing in front of Zhang Chen excitedly said to the student in front of him.
"Don't be silly. What's so special about you? And she's looking at you? Maybe she just didn't rest well and her neck felt uncomfortable, so she turned her head, and you just happened to be there!"
Another student scoffed with a smile.
"Yeah, a campus beauty goddess like her would never notice us!"
...
Soon, the queue gradually entered the school gate, and Zhang Chen followed suit.
Following their respective exam numbers, they gathered on the sports field.
The ground was marked with positions for students with different exam numbers.
In the center of the sports field stood a large stone tablet, inscribed with strange, winding characters.
"What is that?"
Zhang Chen curiously asked the student next to him.
"That's the stone tablet for testing spiritual power. The college entrance exam is different from regular small tests. It's said that this stone tablet's test is the most accurate."
"As long as you resonate your internal energy with the energy of the stone tablet, the number of illuminated characters will represent the level of your spiritual power."
The classmate, having done his homework on the college entrance exam, explained fluently.
After all, explaining wouldn't affect the exam results; the strong would remain strong, and the weak would remain weak.
"Oh~ I see!"
The content he had previously learned instantly appeared in Zhang Chen's mind.
It turned out that this world was a world full of spiritual power, and the so-called college entrance exam was not about academic subjects but testing one's spiritual power and talent level.
Those with talent would enter good spiritual cultivation universities, receive more resources, and achieve fame and career.
Those with poor talent would eventually become low-class workers, living unremarkable lives.
So this was the so-called college entrance exam!
