Grinding to Become the Master of the Universe-Chapter 49 - 37: C-Level Contract 3

But his combat simulation score had clearly held him back.

Even so, thanks to his formidable Hard Power, his total score was still firmly in the top fifty of their grade.

Adding the 20 points from his combat class, his total performance points reached an astonishing 50!

This number caused a collective gasp to echo through the classroom.

points! He was already halfway to the goal of upgrading to a C-rank contract!

However, when everyone’s gaze focused on the glittering golden name at the very top of the list, the entire classroom fell silent, stunned.

[Qin Feng, Total Score Rank: 994, Bonus Points: 5.]

[Improvement Rank: 1st, Bonus Points: 15.]

[Combat Simulation Rank: 1st, Bonus Points: 20.]

[Total Points Earned This Monthly Exam: 40.]

Adding the points he had already earned, that was a total of 55 points!

Five points higher than even Shi Potian.

You could hear a pin drop in the classroom.

Everyone stared, wide-eyed.

"...Forty points? Am I seeing that right?"

"What is going on?"

The brief, dead silence was broken by a tidal wave of disbelieving chatter.

"First in improvement, first in combat... those two are the biggest contributors."

"His total score also broke into the top thousand, which adds another 5 points..."

"Add it all up... 5 + 15 + 20... plus the 15 points from combat class, that’s 55 points!"

Qin Feng’s seemingly impossible point total was the result of interconnected factors, and it was all perfectly legitimate!

He had earned every single one!

Especially in the combat simulation, where he was the only student in the entire school to get a perfect score.

The other top students, including Shi Potian and Chu Lan, had also cultivated their killing techniques well, but the gap was simply too vast.

Even the most basic saber technique was difficult to grasp within a single month.

But Qin Feng... he hadn’t just grasped the basics. He had achieved a minor level of mastery and even comprehended the ultimate killing move: Thousand Soldiers’ Evasion!

This created a massive, unbridgeable gap in their scores.

Relying on his absolute advantage in this one category, Qin Feng had single-handedly compensated for his low life force index. He not only dragged his total score into the top thousand but also swept up the massive point bonuses for first in combat and first in improvement.

"A monster... This guy is the real monster..."

"That’s just absurd, the way he racked up those points..."

Envy, jealousy, shock, disbelief... a tangled web of complex emotions wove itself through every student’s heart.

Even the ever-composed Shi Potian couldn’t hide a trace of astonishment in his eyes as he looked at Qin Feng.

He quickly did the math on his terminal.

’Qin Feng earned 40 points from the monthly exam, plus the 15 points from the Gamma-7 mission before that.’

’Total points: 55!’

’As for me, 30 points from the exam, 20 from the mission, for a total of 50.’

’Qian Duoduo: 9 from the exam, 10 from the mission, total of 19.’

The results were clear.

"Fucking awesome!"

Qian Duoduo excitedly punched Qin Feng on the shoulder, his face beaming with vicarious pride. "Qin Feng! You’re a celebrity in our class now—no, in the whole school! 55 points! All you have to do... all you have to do is go to the Imperial Arena, fight a placement match to get to First Rank, and once you get that 50-point reward, your contract will be upgraded to C-rank instantly!"

His voice was not quiet, and all the students around them heard him loud and clear.

All eyes focused on Qin Feng once more.

"Qin Feng, well done."

Teacher Wu Shangfeng’s gaze fell upon Qin Feng. He started with a word of praise, then added a warning, "The path of the Martial Dao is long. You must not grow arrogant over a single ranking. Keep walking forward, step by step. This time, your win was because everyone else’s comprehension of killing techniques was insufficient. Next time, and the time after that, their Martial Arts Points will eventually catch up. So, you need to work on your life force index, and quickly."

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher."

Qin Feng nodded firmly.

He had just realized this himself.

The maximum score for the combat simulation was 500, and he had already hit the ceiling. Meanwhile, the other students had only scored in the low hundreds, which was a situation analogous to his own life force index of just 160.

’I need to get that C-rank contract and raise my life force index as soon as possible,’ Qin Feng thought to himself.
