"Hum …"
The old exam cabin slowly opened, and Li Yao stepped out. He shook his head, faintly feeling a headache. This was the side effect of overdrawing his mind in the Great Illusionary Land.
"My head hurts. Damn it! Just us, the trash class, are still using this kind of trash. The students of the Important Classes and the Strolling Classes have all switched to the latest generation of spiritual ability exam cabins. No matter how much they overdraw, there won't be any side effects!" Meng Jiang complained loudly beside him. Soon after, he poked his waist. "Little devil, this time's mock exam difficulty is really high. I probably screwed up again. When I go back, I'll definitely eat 'Bamboo Fried Meat'. How about you?"
"So-so." Li Yao rubbed his nose. This time's exam difficulty was indeed a bit high. However, his foundation was relatively solid, and his mind was calm enough. He felt that he had already displayed his limits.
"Hurry up and take a look!" Meng Jiang moved to the side of his exam cabin and operated it. The exam cabin was equipped with a high-speed crystal processor that could calculate the results in real time. When the exam ended, the results would come out.
"Wow, 525 points! What a high score! It's enough to enter a Key University, and you still say it's so-so? Excessive modesty is arrogance, you damned little devil! "Meng Jiang exclaimed.
Li Yao swept a glance at the hologram, but in his heart, he secretly sighed. 525 points was indeed not a low score. It was barely enough to meet the cutoff score of a few well-known Key Universities in the Federation. However, there was a value closely following it that was red to the point of being somewhat eye-catching.
"Spirit Root Development Quotient, 35%."
The spirit root was a mysterious organ located in the forehead of the human brain, the "Pineal Gland". It was mysterious because from an anatomical point of view, this organ simply did not exist. For thousands of years, no one had been able to find a genuine "Spirit Root Specimen".
However, in the world of cultivators, this was an organ that truly existed. Moreover, it was the most important organ for cultivators. It was the crux of connecting humans with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of the universe!
Only when the Spirit Root Development Quotient reached 100% and the "Spirit Root Awakens" could one step onto the path of cultivation!
Generally, when recruiting students, universities did not look at the value of the Spirit Root Development Quotient. Even if it was 1%, it didn't matter. In any case, most universities only nurtured ordinary people.
However, the "Nine Elite Universities", which specialize in cultivating cultivators, would multiply the examinee's score and the Actualization Quotient of their Spirit Root when they recruit students. Naturally, the higher the Actualization Quotient, the more advantageous it would be.
Li Yao's Actualization Quotient was pitifully low. After multiplying 500 points by 35%, he was left with less than 200 points.
As for the proud sons of heaven of the Important Class, they generally possessed a Actualization Quotient of over 60%. In other words, as long as they scored over 300 points, they could easily crush Li Yao.
What's more, the higher one's Actualization Quotient was, the sharper one's five senses would be, and the greater one's control over one's body would be. How could one's grades be any worse than the 'trash' of the Common Class?
It wasn't that Li Yao hadn't thought of putting in hard work to increase his Actualization Quotient. However, this plaything was different from studying. Knowledge from books could be mechanically memorized. Physical strength and martial skills could be crazily cultivated. However, the Actualization Quotient relied on piling up resources.
For example, the proud sons of heaven of the Important Class consumed all kinds of heavenly treasures and strengthening medicines every day. They also bought a Spirit Root Development Device at home or went to a specialized Meditation Training Hall for special training. Every month, the amount of money they spent on Actualization Quotient ranged from tens of thousands to tens of millions. Only after spending mountains of gold and silver would they be able to raise their Actualization Quotient with difficulty by 1%.
As for Li Yao, he scavenged in the Artifact Graveyard. At most, he earned 10,000 yuan a month. After paying his rent, living expenses, and tuition fees, he only had three melons and two dates left. He couldn't even fill his stomach. How could he have the spare money to Actualize his Spirit Root?
In short, there was only one word to describe it — he was fucking poor!
Just as he was fretting in his heart, he heard Meng Jiang howl like a pig being slaughtered, "Wow! Two 691 points! Si Jiaxue and Helian Lie, these two fellows, are tied for first place in this mock exam! "
The mock exam this time was held at the same time for the entire third year. On the hologram in front of the classroom, the information of the top ten students of the entire school appeared at lightning speed.
Among them, tied for first place was a beautiful girl as cold as snow, and a tall youth with a heroic appearance and an intimidating gaze.
Their scores didn't cause Li Yao to be moved. However, the Actualization Quotients following behind their scores made him so jealous that his eyes were spitting fire.
Si Jiaxue, Actualization Quotient 71%. Helian Lie, Actualization Quotient 72%!
Meng Jiang was still clamoring, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the influential figures of our Chixiao No. 2 High School, the school belle and school beau, the elites among the elites of the Important Class! You see, these two fellows are not only handsome, but also beautiful. Moreover, they come from wealthy families. It is said that quite a few cultivators have appeared in their families. Their grades are good, and their Actualization Quotients are high. They are our school's secret weapons for the College Entrance Exam! It is said that their admission into the Nine Elite Universities is in the bag. The school specially invited Fiend Blade Peng Hai to give them special training. There is also a layer of meaning behind this. They hope that they can become Floating Spear City's College Entrance Exam's champion. At the very least, they will be in the top ten of the entire city! "
As he spoke, Meng Jiang sighed exaggeratedly, "Sigh, comparing goods makes one throw away, comparing people makes one die. Everyone is an ordinary high school student. Right now, we are all mingling in the same school. However, after the College Entrance Exam, I'm afraid that they will soar into the sky and step into the circle of cultivators. They will live a life of luxury and decadence. As for us poor kids, we can only be workers for a lifetime. Just thinking about it makes my heart cold!"
After speaking for a long time, he didn't see any reaction. Meng Jiang turned his head and saw Li Yao staring blankly at Si Jiaxue's photo. His gaze was deep and serene. He didn't know what he was pondering. He promptly knocked on his best friend's head, "Hey, you brat, you haven't taken a fancy to Si Jiaxue, have you? Let me remind you with good intentions that this woman is not someone we can touch. She and Helian Lie are family friends. It is said that the two families have the intention of forming a marriage alliance. Helian Lie is also determined to have her. Don't look at this brat's tall and mighty appearance. He is the most narrow-minded. He has never seen anyone get close to Si Jiaxue. Last time, there was a new transfer student who had just arrived. He didn't know his limits and let out words that he wanted to pursue Si Jiaxue. In the end, Helian Lie broke three of his bones in the Martial Skills class. As for us small fries, a single sneeze from Helian Lie would cause us to vomit blood from internal injuries! "
"Nonsense."
Li Yao retracted his gaze. He seemed to have made a decision, "Let's not talk about Helian Lie for now. Let's talk about this Si Jiaxue. All day long she puts on an ice- cold dead-person face. In all likelihood, she is sexually apathetic. Why would I like this type?"
… …
The majority of the school's resources were tilted towards the Key Class and the Parallel Class. The management of the Common Class was very lax. After the mock exam ended, the Common Class students were given special training to deal with their own flaws. The day passed quickly. School was about to end at 4 in the afternoon.
"Let's go together later. I just found a pancake stall. The owner's third uncle is a fire-making worker of the 'Fire God Sect'. The owner also indirectly learned the 'Fire Cloud Palm', so the 'Red Flame Giant Palm Omelet' that he makes is absolutely top-notch. Today, it's my treat, how about it?" Meng Jiang patted his chest heroically.
Meng Hao patted his chest. "No, I have something to do today. I'll treat you tomorrow!" Not waiting for his best friend to reply, Li Yao dashed out of the classroom at lightning speed.
He stealthily looked left and right for a while. He circled around the campus in a large circle. He passed through two cafeterias and stopped in a small forest behind the campus for a dozen minutes. He then turned back and tiptoed into a utility room on the ground floor of the old teaching building.
Gently closing the door, he smelled a faintly discernible fragrance of orchids in an empty valley.
A pair of cold and beautiful eyes like a clear spring were staring at him somewhat impatiently in the darkness. Below the eyes was a straight nose and thin lips that were tightly pursed.
