Chapter 78: 0075 Black Tiger Perfection (Three Chapters Combined for Monthly Ticket)_4

Lu Chenzhou finished speaking, and all four teachers showed a grave expression.

Yu Zheng’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he asked with an intense aura,

"Lu Chenzhou, you’ve reached Fifth Rank? Black Tiger Fist Perfection?"

"Yes, teacher!"

Hong Fu remembered the scene of staying up late practicing punches last night.

He calmed his somewhat excited mood and smiled,

"Chenzhou, why don’t you start by demonstrating your main specialized Fist Technique."

Lu Chenzhou bowed to the teachers and then took his stance.

In an instant, he entered the zone, transforming into a young tiger leaving its nest, boldly and uninhibitedly displaying his might, each punch fierce and brimming with dominance.

After completing the "Black Tiger Fist," he seamlessly transitioned into "Tiger Supreme Fist"—grabbing, stabbing, smashing, slapping... his aura even more powerful than before!

Both sets of Fist Techniques were paired with the Small Success "Mountain Crossing Body," forming a naturally perfect union. During this time, the examining teachers frequently launched "surprise attacks," testing Lu Chenzhou’s practical combat abilities through sparring, which he handled with composure until the end of the assessment period.

Lu Chenzhou finished and stood still, bowing to the teachers.

He asked,

"Do I need to demonstrate my supplementary Fist Techniques? I’ve also mastered the Small Success level ’Swallow Return Fist’ and ’Sea-sweeping Body,’ along with the Proficient ’Arhat Skill.’"

He had pulled out all the stops to be rated as Class A. Last night, he had even practiced "Swallow Return Fist" for a prolonged period, advancing it to the Small Success realm.

He firmly believed he would be rated as Class A.

Yu Zheng looked quite satisfied and said,

"No need, you can go back now, and we will report to the evaluation committee."

...

Classroom.

Lu Chenzhou walked in expressionlessly and returned to his seat.

Beside him, Huo Tianyu turned her body slightly and asked in a low voice,

"Chenzhou, I heard you’re about to reach Fifth Rank?"

"I’ve already reached Fifth Rank."

"..."

Huo Tianyu sat up straight.

She should have spared herself the pain of asking such questions; it was merely inviting disappointment.

Liu Huan sent Lu Chenzhou a message asking,

[How did it go, did you get rated as Class A?]

[The teachers didn’t say anything on the spot, so I don’t know.]

[You’ve got it in the bag! I asked Brother Chen, and they only tell you on the spot if it’s below Class A... For Class A and above, the teachers need to discuss with the principal and then report to Dragon City Martial Arts University’s qualification review committee for verification and approval.]

This principal was the strongest protector of Dragon City High School.

Reading the reply, Lu Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"So that’s how it is, Class A truly isn’t ordinary. After all, more resources and investment will be added. Once it involves money, the approval procedures become incredibly complicated."

In the front row, Liu Huan turned his head back.

Envy sparkled in his eyes,

"A genius rivaling Brother Chen is indeed rising."

The "Key Focus List" was just for prospective talents, but Class A ratings were nearly akin to genius level, holding significant weight at school. Being rated as Class A twice in a row could mean transfer to the university’s genius class, enjoying the same privileges as those with Top Class root bone!

At the back of the classroom, Lu Chenzhou checked his phone messages.

Shi Ruyu and Ji Xuantong had messaged him asking about his summer exam status. He replied truthfully, stating he had reached Fifth Rank and achieved Black Tiger Fist Perfection, telling them not to worry.

Ji Xuantong took a while before replying,

[Great, great, great! Hold steady, you have a chance to get into the genius class!]

Old Ji was genuinely excited; he had studied in a regular class at university. He had always longed for the legendary genius class, but regrettably lacked the necessary talent.

Shi Ruyu was also taken aback, and finally remarked,

[I still remember when I initially talked to you about survivorship bias, actually wanting you to focus on your cultural studies... I didn’t expect you would be the one in a million survivor.]

Lu Chenzhou had expected his teacher and senior sister’s reactions.

His current performance indeed warranted the genius status... but his success, 99% was owed to the Martial Arts Tree, with the remaining 1% due to his personal effort.

Lastly, was a message from Du.

[Chenzhou, I’ve passed the special admission test for Pingjiang Martial Arts University. Next semester, I’ll be attending second year high school in Pingjiang. See you at the Su City college entrance exam venue!]

Lu Chenzhou replied to him with heartfelt congratulations.

[Congratulations, congratulations, your spot at Pingjiang Martial Arts University is secured.]

[Yeah, definitely not as good as Dragon City Martial Arts University, but I’m eager to work hard. I believe becoming a Martial Artist is no problem, no more fear for ordinary Void Things... By the way, are you coming to the Martial Arts Academy on your day off? I want to treat everyone to a meal.]

"Okay, see you in the afternoon. I have classes in the morning."

...

Principal’s office.

An old man with white hair and a youthful appearance, exuding a sharp aura, was deep in sleep. Yu Zheng, Hong Fu, and other assessment teachers stood quietly at the door, waiting for the elder to awaken.

"I’m so anxious."

"Shh, don’t wake up the senior."

Before long, the old man opened his eyes and stretched lazily. Zuo Shan Cang·Li Shouqian, he was the principal of Dragon City High School’s Su City branch. Oh yes, he also had a brother, Qingtian Cang·Li Shoukun, who was a Martial Arts Master of the Eagle Form Fist.

"How did it go? Are the assessments done?"

"They’re done."

"What’s the situation? If there are any who aren’t up to par, eliminate them quickly."

"In the freshman class, there are 6 students who did not reach the Fourth Rank standard, among them, four with Low Class root bones and two with Intermediate root bones. We’re just waiting for you to sign the ’Dropout Notice.’"

Zuo Shan Cang said coldly:

"To still not reach Fourth Rank when they’re almost sophomores, those two with Intermediate root bones are really wasting ten years of the country’s compulsory education resources. Send them off quickly."

Between the two brothers, Qingtian Cang was amiable, while Zuo Shan Cang had a fiery temper.

Yu Zheng hurriedly said with a smile:

"Elder Li, please calm your anger. The freshman class still has a few good seeds."

"Are you talking about Liu Huan and the others?"

"Yes, including Lu Chenzhou, the six people previously on the ’Key Focus List’, all have reached Sixth Rank in their cultivation, with Liu Huan just a stone’s throw from Seventh Rank."

"Liu Huan is indeed promising. It’s no problem for him to enter Seventh Rank as a sophomore."

"That’s true, after all, his father is Beiyuan Huai Bear·Liu Kang."

"Family background is one aspect, but the child is truly hardworking. I don’t show my face, but I’m clear about the diligence of these nearly one hundred people."

"That’s right, that young girl from the Huo Family has also successfully reached Sixth Rank."

"For a great family like theirs, this achievement is not surprising."

"I want to discuss Lu Chenzhou with you, you remember him, right?"

"I’m not senile, just say it."

"Lu Chenzhou enrolled in early April this year, at that time he had just reached Third Rank not long ago, and today, he has successfully risen to Fifth Rank...breaking through two realms in three months!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shan Cang’s gaze instantly sharpened.

He asked:

"He hasn’t been practicing Evil Martial techniques, right?"

"No."

"Has he taken any banned substances or employed cultish practices?"

"No."

"Does he have inspiration?"

"Yes."

"How many times?"

"...I didn’t ask, I’ll go call for him."

"Forget it, even if he’s not of Top Class root bone, having multiple inspirations is still difficult to rise from Fourth Rank to Fifth Rank in three months. His potential for sudden comprehension is high. Pay close attention to this boy, he has the potential to awaken as a Martial Bone Dao Embryo in the future. After the winter exam, send him to the genius class."

"Also, Lu Chenzhou’s Cross Training Talent is not bad either."

"What is he training?"

"Arhat Skill."

"Let him train. If he can reach a level of Fire Control, Cross Training Talent can also be considered as a criterion for talent assessment. In the future, he may aim for even higher talent levels."

Above Class A, there is Special Class.

But the requirements are very high, even among those with Top Class root bones, one must be the cream of the crop.

Yu Zheng knew that Lu Chenzhou’s situation was stable. He asked with a smile:

"Principal, then this Lu Chenzhou..."

"I’ve approved it here, send it to the main committee for review."

Hearing this, Hong Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than a year, from an ordinary high school to a Dragon City Martial Arts School, and then standing out amongst his peers, Lu Chenzhou had indeed created a small miracle.

"My judgment is not wrong, this child is truly a rare talent in Tiger Form!"

The Black Tiger Master, truly accurate in his assessments.
