Chapter 21 (1/2)
Chapter 21: Perfect Score!
Li Muyun picked up the phone and dialed Chief Chu Li’s number. Unfortunately the chief’s cellphone was off. Li Muyun then anxiously dialed the number of the Chief’s assistant Dong Yuewu.
“Yuewu, how come Chief’s phone is off? Where did you guys go?” Li Muyun asked hastily.
“We are at the New York headquarters attending a short meeting. We won’t be back until dusk.” Dong Yuewu explained, “Director Li, do you have any important news you want me to pass on to Chief?”
Li Muyun thought for a bit, “We have good news for him, but since you guys are coming back at night, I will just wait at the office. Give me a call when you guys are back.”
“I’ve noted it down, don’t worry.”
After hanging up, Li Muyun let out a long breath. Misjudging Han Lang’s potential was a big mistake, but luckily it wasn’t too late. After Chu Li gets back and hears Li Muyun’s report, he would for sure provide Han the best arrangement.
Top treatment was for sure, and a personal training director was also essential. In conclusion, all available resources must be used to train Han. After all, with Han’s SSS ranked power and stunning potential, his future was unmeasurable.
Li Muyun was still thinking, and Monk who had been paying close attention to the broadcast jumped up in happiness, “Look! Han past the second round of the pressure exam! They even lit fireworks in the sky!”
Fireworks?!
Li Muyun was stunned for a sec and turned right to the screen, only to see that Han had already walked out of the sand storm. Although the raging wind had ripped Han’s cloth apart, the sharp grains of sand had left marks on Han’s face, but Han’s steps were still as firm as always. Walking with his head up proud, his face carried the pride of a victor.
“Congratulations to contestant Han Lang from Earth for passing the second test with a perfect score!”
Li Muyun was shocked, he looked at Han’s score board which suddenly had increased by 350 points! A perfect score!
……
Shua~
The light flashed past Han’s eye and he was teleported to the public square where he had started, his clothes were back to normal and the wounds on his face had recovered. After all it was just a virtual test, all you needed was for the system to rewrite some data and everything could go back to normal.
On the public score, two soldier-like young girls were chatting. One of them, a red-haired girl asked in curiosity, “Where’s the United Government of Earth? Apparently a monster from there past the second round with a perfect score and I’ve never even heard of that place.”
The other black-haired girl answered, “Hehe, you don’t know this but the United Government of Earth is indeed a small place, but they are famous for producing monsters! Last Galactic Meet, Earth sent an esper named Ke Lake, a 5 star esper, and without any reinforcement he broke through A7!”
The red-haired girl thought for a sec, “Ke Lake? I do have a blurry memory about him, but 10 years ago I was too young so I probably forgot.”
The chat between the two girls was heard by Han. So senior Ke Lake was also a pretty face haha, but what’s A7?
Whenever someone passes a test with a perfect score, the system would broadcast the news in public in order to encourage more contestants to be like them. Everyone in the public square now all knew about Han. Many people were talking about him, after all only a few can pass the second test with a perfect score.
But, Han did not feel proud at all because he knew very clearly that he was able to make it only because of his power, which provided immunity to all other powers.
Following the third round of pressure exam would be the battle segment. That was when Han might actually screw up because he had never learned any fighting techniques.
Now thinking about that, time was tight. Han decided not to wait till one week after and he went ahead and started the 3rd test. That way, he can clear up his schedule and focus on going to the extreme frost domain to shut himself away to train.
Han made up his mind and went straight towards the third test’s teleporter. The third test was called the Climb of Frost Mountain, and a snow mountain of over 1000 meters high appeared in front of Han. It looked just like an icy pyramid, with multiple paths leading to the top. At the top of the mountain sat a sacred temple, shining with golden light and emitting a mysterious feeling.
Han didn’t hesitate and he started walking right away. The path to the top had blue stones built as steps. It didn’t look difficult, and the mountain was only a few thousand meters high. But, only the ones really climbing it understood the horror within.
The mountain wind was howling, the gusts hitting Han’s body were icy like blades. Suddenly there was a snow storm and immediately after, it changed to hail. There were sometimes even rain. The rain water made the steps a lot more slippery, and there were no handles on the side of the steps, so people could easily slip and fall into the deep abyss that surrounded the mountain.
Out of the three assessments in pressure exam, only this one had a redo option. Every contestant can take this test three times, and the best score will be calculated. It really goes to show something about how difficult this test was.
“OH SHIT MAN!”
Gabong~ (sound of people falling)
“FUCK!”
Gabong~
“DON’T PUSH!”
