"I, I... what happened?"
In the People's Hospital of Yi'an District.
Luo Feng on the hospital bed slowly woke up, murmuring.
Gong Xinlan, who was by his side, had been keeping an eye on her eldest son. Seeing him awake, she immediately rushed forward, her eyes filled with tears, and asked:
"Xiaofeng, how are you? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
"Mom..." Luo Feng blinked, saw Gong Xinlan, tilted his head slightly, and also saw his father Luo Hongguo, his second brother Luo Hua, and his third brother Luo Xia standing beside the bed.
"Am I in the hospital?"
He clutched his head, trying to sit up. He didn't know what had happened, but after waking up, his mind felt clearer. He could clearly hear all the sounds from outside the hospital room.
His hearing seemed to have improved a lot…
"Big brother, you fainted at the examination center."
Luo Xia said.
"Fainted…" Luo Feng frowned.
Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo watched him with concern, hesitant to speak.
Luo Feng glanced at them, forcing a smile. "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm fine. And maybe I even benefited from this."
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were stunned. How could he have benefited?
Luo Feng explained, "Dad, Mom, as you know, I've had this headache problem since I was a kid. The two times I passed out before, my physical condition improved a lot each time."
He paused, then continued, "It's the same this time. I can feel my physique has strengthened a lot. Before, I just lacked a bit in punching power, but now, I should be able to take the Pre-Martial Warrior assessment!"
He looked at his parents and brother, smiling. "If I can pass, I'll become a Martial Warrior soon. Then, I can join the Limit Martial Arts Dojo with my third brother!"
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were both overjoyed. Even Luo Hua had a happy smile on his face!
In this era, the status of a Martial Warrior was extremely high. Becoming one was definitely better than going to any military academy.
This was also the reason why Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan didn't strongly object to Luo Xia not going to college.
Not long after, Luo Feng and his family left the People's Hospital together.
"Ah Feng! Ah Feng!"
From a distance, a familiar shout suddenly rang out. It was Luo Feng's good friend, Wei Wen, who had rushed over as soon as the exam was over, having heard that he'd fainted in the exam hall!
"Ah Feng, are you okay?"
Wei Wen ran up, panting, and asked with concern.
Luo Feng shook his head, touched. "I'm fine. You know, this headache is an old problem of mine. I just didn't expect it to act up during the National College Entrance Examination."
Wei Wen patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, comforting him. "Even if you don't do well this time, you can always try again next year! We're still young!"
Luo Feng smiled and suddenly asked, "Right, Ah Wen, what did you think of the difficulty of the last three calculation questions on the math paper?"
The reason he didn't ask his third brother, Luo Xia, but rather Wei Wen, was because Luo Feng knew that with his brother's intellect, no matter how difficult this year's math paper was, it wouldn't be a problem for him. Asking him wouldn't provide any useful reference.
Wei Wen said, "I felt this year's math questions were very difficult. Of the five calculation questions, only the third one seemed a little easier. The other four were all very hard."
Luo Feng breathed a secret sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Thank goodness…
He'd only failed the last three calculation questions. If most people couldn't solve them either, or if the answers were wrong, he still had a sliver of hope.
After the National College Entrance Examination, the results could be checked starting at 8 PM on June 16th via phone or online. The Undergraduate Admission Line would also be released that day.
That evening, after dinner, Luo Xia's family sat in the living room. Only Luo Feng was absent, having gone back to his room.
"Is Big Brother okay?"
Luo Hua asked with some concern.
Luo Xia said, "Big Brother has a strong mental fortitude. I don't think such a small setback can defeat him."
Luo Hongguo nodded at Luo Xia and his brother, and said, "Can we check the results now? Let's check your eldest brother's first, then Xia's."
Luo Hua nodded and started operating on his laptop. He had the admission ticket numbers for both Luo Feng and Luo Xia and entered them directly on the query website.
In a short while, Luo Feng's scores and the Undergraduate Admission Line appeared on the screen.
"Dad, Mom..."
Luo Hua looked at the scores on the screen, his expression hesitant and uncertain. After a pause, he turned the screen towards his parents.
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan leaned forward slightly to look at the screen and saw Luo Feng's scores.
Humanities: 216 Sciences: 223 Mathematics: 118 Total: 557
The score of 557 looked quite high, but this time the Undergraduate Admission Line was 561, and Luo Feng's score was exactly 4 points short.
"This..."
Gong Xinlan couldn't help but glance at her husband.
Luo Hongguo didn't know what to say.
Only four points off!
He paused, then said to Luo Hua, "Check your third brother's score."
Luo Hua nodded and began to operate. The next second, his eyes widened, and he looked at Luo Xia, who was sitting beside him, with a look of astonishment.
"How is it?"
His mother, Gong Xinlan, asked anxiously.
Luo Hua swallowed hard, and as he turned the screen towards his parents, he said, "Third brother, third brother scored 745 points!"
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan heard this and looked at the screen.
Humanities: 245 Science: 250 Mathematics: 250 Total: 745
"Great! Wonderful!"
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were both happy and excited, but after smiling for a while, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken over their eldest son's situation.
Gong Xinlan couldn't help but say, "Sigh, if Xiaofeng didn't have headaches, he should have been able to pass the Undergraduate Admission Line..."
Tap, tap, tap...
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs. Luo Feng walked down with a smile, saying to Luo Xia, "Xia, you're amazing! 745 points! You should be close to the Top Scorer score!"
Luo Xia smiled and said, "I thought I could get a perfect score of 750!"
"745 points is already very high! It's too difficult to get a perfect score in the humanities! I guess you were deducted five points on the essay!"
Luo Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't seem too upset about his own score, instead, he was very excited and happy for his younger brother's results!
Luo Hongguo saw that his eldest son didn't seem to be too affected, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Luo Xia and asked:
"Xia, you scored so high. Isn't it a bit of a shame not to go to university?"
Luo Xia smiled, "What's there to be ashamed of? The age range of 16 to 30 is the fastest period for a Martial Warrior to improve their strength. It would be a real shame if I went to university now."
Hearing this, Luo Hongguo didn't say anything more, and cheerfully said, "If your grandparents knew that our Luo family could produce a Top Scorer! They would definitely be very happy!"
At five o'clock the next morning, Luo Xia and Luo Feng got up early and headed towards the Limit Martial Arts Dojo.
Luo Feng was going to the dojo to test his physical fitness because of the dizziness he experienced.
Luo Xia also felt that he could update his score. Otherwise, if he suddenly jumped to Advanced Soldier Level, he was afraid that people would want to study him.
