"Is that so?"
Su Ning nodded, but then felt something was off. The Central District, the Jing Family, hadn't she heard of them somewhere before?
"How about it? Go, go..."
Gu Xiao took two steps forward to Lu Li, tilting her head to the left as she looked at Lu Li.
"Alright then."
Seeing Gu Xiao's expectant look, Lu Li finally nodded.
From childhood, she had always been bad at refusing Gu Xiao, especially when Gu Xiao looked at her with such anticipation.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.
Gu Xiao and Lu Li looked in the direction of the noise and saw a small, fist-sized iron ball flying out from the top of the gymnasium.
The small iron ball was silver all over, with a small hole in the middle.
The Examinees knew this was the projector used to announce the results.
The small iron ball stopped in front of the crowd, and a blue light shot out from the hole, forming a small dot in the air.
Immediately, the small dot rapidly expanded, eventually becoming a rectangular virtual screen three meters long and one meter wide.
"It's out! Quick, quick, find your names."
After someone said something, the entire front of the gymnasium fell into a brief silence. Everyone was searching for their names and scores on the results list.
Gu Xiao didn't have to try hard to find it, because her name was prominently displayed at the very top.
First Place, Name: Gu Xiao, Written Exam: 300 points, Martial Exam: 420 points (including 20 bonus points), Total Score: 720 points.
"Holy crap, look at the first one, a perfect score!"
The excellent result of the first place naturally drew attention. Upon seeing the perfect score, many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Speaking of which, who is Gu Xiao? So fierce? How long has it been since a perfect score appeared in the Professional Trial?"
"Does that even need thinking? It must be that ruthless person who slaughtered her way through the encirclement."
"Damn it, I can't even feel jealous of this score."
"A perfect score, I don't even dare to dream of that much."
A perfect score in the Professional Trial was truly a rarity.
As mentioned earlier, the Invigilating Teacher's factor also needed to be considered. Therefore, unless one possessed absolute overwhelming strength compared to other Examinees in the Professional Trial, it would be impossible to achieve a perfect score in the Martial Exam.
Because you need to dominate the entire field with absolute strength, making the Invigilating Teacher feel that the Professional Trial poses no challenge to you at all, only then will a perfect score be given.
A Professional Trial Examinee with a perfect score might not appear even once in several centuries.
And every Examinee who achieved a perfect score in the Professional Trial eventually carved out a successful path in the universe, establishing a formidable reputation and becoming a magnate in their own right.
"Xiao Xiao is truly amazing."
"Lu Li is also amazing."
Hearing Lu Li's praise, Gu Xiao said with a smile. Lu Li's name was right below hers.
Second Place, Name: Lu Li, Written Exam: 286 points, Martial Exam: 388 points (including 20 bonus points), Total Score: 674 points.
"Gu Xiao, Lu Li, congratulations."
Several classmates from their class found them at some point and congratulated the two.
With their scores, there was absolutely no problem for them to enter Star Sea Academy.
"How about you guys?"
The two smiled and nodded, Gu Xiao asked.
"I'm in 236th place, Jiang Hui is in 378th..." Feng Kai said.
Gu Xiao turned and found their names and scores.
236th Place, Name: Feng Kai, Written Exam: 257 points, Martial Exam: 321 points, Total Score: 578 points... 378th Place, Name: Jiang Hui, Written Exam: 245 points, Martial Exam: 317 points, Total Score: 562 points.
"Although we can't compare to you top students, we're still very satisfied."
Their scores were definitely not low. Although they couldn't get into a top Professional Academy like Star Sea Academy, they could still go to a very good Professional Academy.
Moreover, they hadn't initially hoped to get into a top Professional Academy. For Star Sea Academy, the entire Yunqi City would definitely not have more than ten people who could get in.
"Haha, I got in, I got in."
"Me too, me too, my score is definitely enough to get into a Professional Academy."
"Why? Why exactly? I clearly wrote down all the answers, so why is my written exam score so low?"
"Eh? Is my martial exam score that high? I remember I was hiding the whole time."
"Damn it, I was eliminated too early in the martial exam, otherwise I definitely could have gotten into a Professional Academy."
"This year's trial was too difficult, and my profession is more support-oriented. This isn't fair."
With the results announced, some were happy, some were sad. There were those who jumped with excitement, and those who beat their chests in frustration.
For the vast majority, getting into a Professional Academy was like getting a ticket to the cosmic Star Sea, their only chance to set foot in the universe.
Although military service could also lead to the universe, it would be difficult to roam among the stars unless one achieved a high military rank.
Even in this era, many people only saw the brilliant universe online; they might never leave Azure Star in their entire lives.
The price of an interstellar ticket could take an ordinary family several years to save up, and that was just for the cheapest one-way ticket.
Not many people would spend a decade or more of savings just for a single trip.
"We won't delay you from going back to celebrate, we're leaving."
After congratulating them, Feng Kai and Jiang Hui didn't linger. They also wanted to go home and share the good news with their families.
"Hello, are you students Gu Xiao and Lu Li?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a blue jacket and white undershirt walked over.
"You are?"
Gu Xiao and Lu Li looked at the newcomer in confusion. They didn't know this person.
"Hello, I am a Recruitment Teacher from Canghai Academy. I wonder if the two of you are interested in coming to our Canghai Academy? I can apply for a scholarship of 100 million credit points for you, as well as 500 million credit points in cultivation resources."
The Canghai Academy Recruitment Teacher's opening words stunned everyone around. Six hundred million credit points right off the bat, what kind of concept was that?
Most people wouldn't earn that much money in several lifetimes, would they?
And for these two girls, it was just a step away, as long as they nodded and agreed to join Canghai Academy.
"Old Sun, that's going too far, openly poaching talent like this."
Before Gu Xiao and Lu Li could reply, a man in a short-sleeved shirt, revealing his muscular arms, walked over.
It was the Star Sea Academy Recruitment Teacher.
"What are you talking about? The two students haven't said they're joining your Star Sea Academy yet, so how am I poaching?"
The Canghai Academy Recruitment Teacher was unconcerned. Who said the first and second place absolutely had to go to Star Sea Academy?
"True, well, I'll say this: students, no matter what conditions he offers, our Star Sea Academy can offer double."
For excellent students, Star Sea Academy was never stingy with its financial resources, and they had the confidence to back it up.
