Theoretically, not much like a third-year high school student.
A professor said with a solemn expression, "Actually, even less so."
They had never seen such a college entrance examination video, where a student could completely wreak havoc in another dimension.
Professor Jiang Yun of the Combat Department spoke, "I also think it's unlikely. Have you checked his background?"
Professor Wen Yang from the Cultural Academy's Materials Science department shook his head and said, "We've cross-referenced him with domestic wanted lists. No issues."
"International criminals?"
"???"
Wen Yang's mouth twitched. "You can't be serious, can you?" He then looked at Chen Shu's rogue-like demeanor in the video and added, "But it's also possible." "Let someone verify it first. We'll discuss it this afternoon."
To be safe, the six professors had someone compare him against international wanted criminals as well.
In the afternoon, the six gathered again. They had confirmed there were no problems, but their eyes still held a hint of disbelief.
Jiang Yun said, "Everyone, how should we score him? Let's hear your opinions."
"His actions are too reckless, and he doesn't seem to consider the consequences at all!"
A white-haired professor spoke, "Fortunately, this is the college entrance examination, with examiners present. If this were any other time, who knows how much casualties would have occurred!" "Huaxia Academy only cultivates students, not criminals! I'm only giving him 180 points!"
Chen Shu's academic scores had actually all come out. His cultural subjects reached 400 points, with only three students nationwide achieving full marks, which was incredibly outstanding. His potential rating was D-level, earning him only 20 points. Coupled with the bonus points from the beast-taming competition, he now had 440 points. To be admitted to Huaxia Academy, he needed 670 points, meaning his practical combat score had to be at least 230 points for admission. Clearly, this professor refused to admit Chen Shu.
"Unacceptable!" Jiang Yun frowned and immediately spoke, "Professor Zhong Xingyun, your score is too low! Whether it's combat experience or beast-taming prowess, his practical combat score can be full marks!"
"I agree with Professor Jiang Yun!" A middle-aged woman said, "His beast-taming level is Black Iron. According to Huaxia Academy's rules, he could actually be admitted early. Giving him full marks for practical combat wouldn't be excessive!"
"I also give full marks!" Professor Wen Yang from Materials Science said, "For a student to dare to target a King-level fierce beast, this fearless spirit alone is enough for full marks!"
The attitudes of the three were clearly different from the morning, as if they had reached some agreement. Wen Yang looked at Professor Zhong Xingyun and smiled, "When has Huaxia Academy ever been afraid of admitting troublemakers? The founding principle was to cultivate true geniuses, not to admit mediocre individuals and waste resources!"
Just then, Professor Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I disagree! At most 180 points!" He was a long-time friend of Zhong Xingyun and shared the same mindset, worrying that Chen Shu would negatively influence other students. If Huaxia Academy spent a vast amount of resources to cultivate an international criminal, wouldn't it become a laughingstock of the world?
Lu Ming tapped the table and said, "You three insisting on full marks, is that at Instructor Ye Qing's instruction?"
"Professor Lu, what do you mean by that?!" Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly. They were professors of Huaxia Academy, the most authoritative teachers in the country. If they were suspected of having ulterior motives, the impact would be extremely severe.
Zhong Xingyun smiled playfully and said, "Although Ye Qing has retired, his influence is still considerable."
"Hmph! No need for baseless speculation!" Wen Yang frowned and said, "If there are objections, you can let other professors score, or show it to the National Political Bureau and the Military Department!"
The three of them were indeed former students of Ye Qing and had received news from Elder Ye at noon. However, their scoring was based on Chen Shu's performance, and they were not afraid of anyone's questioning. Zhong Xingyun and the other hesitated. Conservatives like them were always a minority. Most people, while not necessarily giving full marks, would definitely not score below 230 points.
"Professor Liu, what do you say?" Zhong Xingyun asked a middle-aged burly man. This person had no connection to Ye Qing and belonged to the neutral faction. Currently, the scores from the six were: three full marks, two at 180. The deciding vote rested with him.
Liu Feng, with his buzz cut, grinned and said, "I like this kid's slyness! I give him full marks!"
Zhong Xingyun's expression froze. This was a reason?
Jiang Yun stated, "Regardless of anything else, Chen Shu must come to Huaxia Academy! With the Huaguo Dragon Abyss gradually becoming unstable, relying solely on the old man will eventually be unsustainable! We need to cultivate a successor!"
Liu Feng said, "I have high hopes for this kid!"
Everyone's expression changed collectively upon hearing this. They hadn't expected Liu Feng to give such a high evaluation. Finally, after some discussion among the six, Chen Shu's practical combat score was set at 245. Although not full marks, he was certainly guaranteed admission to Huaxia Academy.
Time quickly passed to June 22nd.
"Chen Pi, I've compiled a list of skills that might suit your elemental beast." Shen Wushuang sent a message while Chen Shu was playing a game. The list included various elemental skills, some for control, some for burst damage, all highly compatible with the Husky.
Chen Shu looked at the more than ten skills on the list and shook his head. "Teacher, are there any more expensive skills? The return on investment needs to be higher, otherwise I'll lose out." In the "bandit's" view, if they couldn't make the official government spend money, then they themselves were losing out.
"Are you looking for suitable skills or expensive skills, you brat?"
"I want both expensive and suitable! The skills you mentioned can be acquired for a hundred million, and buying them on the beast-taming website probably wouldn't even take half a year." Chen Shu typed, "Are there any discontinued types?"
"Discontinued?" Shen Wushuang's eyes widened. "You want limited edition skills for your beast?" His expression changed, and he immediately thought of a skill. "Speaking of discontinued, I do recall one skill."
"What skill?"
"The Flame Fiendlord's innate skill [Persistent Onslaught]."
"Persistent Onslaught: Each time a skill is cast, the damage of the next skill will increase by 1%, stackable! Duration: three minutes!"
Chen Shu's expression froze, his eyes sparkling. He had found the skill he wanted. Flame Fiends only lived in the [Magic Fire Forest]. Due to a great battle in the past, the population of Flame Fiends had plummeted, and their lord's skill was surely incredibly rare.
Shen Wushuang typed, "This should be the return on investment you're looking for."
Chen Shu: "Holy hell, Teacher Shen, why didn't you say so earlier? I want this one!"
"But I don't recommend this skill." Shen Wushuang immediately explained, "Casting one skill only increases damage by 1%. Do you think the battle will last that long? And does your elemental beast have that many skills to stack? Unless your skill levels can be stacked very high, it's better to just pick a damage skill. That's the kingly way!"
Chen Shu was about to type when the options appeared before him again.
[Option One: Learn the skill Persistent Onslaught. Completion Reward: Persistent Onslaught +1]
[Option Two: Learn the skill Thunderous Discharge. Completion Reward: Thunderous Discharge +1]
[Option Three: Learn the skill Frosty Strike. Completion Reward: Frosty Strike +1]
Chen Shu grinned. Didn't the skill levels just come?
