The cultivation of Primordial Energy Arts was extremely important in the Earth Federation's education system. Apart from the ordinary college entrance exam subjects, there was also a combat test.
As the combat test had a certain level of danger, not all candidates needed to participate in it. The results of the combat test wouldn't be included in the college entrance exam's total score. Participation in the combat test was voluntary, but to apply for special schools, one needed the combat test's results as a standard.
In the past decade, more and more famous schools had incorporated the combat test's results into their recruitment criteria.
Of course, if one wanted to engage in work related to dimensional zones, the combat test's results were also a very good stepping stone.
Although Zhou Wen could obtain dimensional crystals from the cell phone and didn't need to risk his life in dimensional zones, he still planned on participating in the combat test and entering a specialized cultivation school to study. Furthermore, he would engage in work related to dimensional zones in the future.
If Zhou Wen didn't engage in any work related to dimensional zones, nor did he have a source or channel for dimensional crystals, it would be difficult for him to explain how he could grow and evolve so quickly. It would also be difficult for him to explain the possibility of obtaining Companion Beasts and other items in the future.
Only when a diamond was mixed in a large crystal mine wouldn't attract attention.
Zhou Wen didn't wish to risk his life in dimensional zones, but he needed to engage in work related to them. At the very least, he needed to have a channel to obtain dimensional items. This way, he wouldn't attract suspicion when he used large amounts of dimensional crystals in the future.
The combat test wasn't a one-on-one battle, but a team of four. Apart from one's combat strength, the team's coordination and leadership skills would also affect the final results.
If he was the only one to reach the end of the combat test, and the other three team members had to withdraw early or meet with an accident, his score would be greatly affected even if he performed well and obtained a high score.
Zhou Wen had a good reputation in Guide High School in the past. He was an ideal teammate, but in the past month, his image and reputation had plummeted. His abilities had also been greatly doubted.
If it were any ordinary student seeking him to form a team, it would still be acceptable. But for a student like Fang Ruoxi, who had a chance of getting first in Guide City's combat test, there was no need for her to seek him out.
In the past, Zhou Wen was only famous because he cultivated in Ascetic Meditation. In terms of raw strength, Guide High School still had a few students who had cultivated Primordial Energy before the age of sixteen. However, unlike Zhou Wen, they didn't rely on tempering themselves to cultivate Primordial Energy. They had more or less absorbed Primordial Energy Crystals to supplement their cultivation.
"Why did you team up with me?" Zhou Wen asked Fang Ruoxi with interest.
Fang Ruoxi's gaze met Zhou Wen's. Her eyes were clear and cold, like an untainted icy spring.
"I want to do my best to obtain high scores in the combat test, so I need powerful teammates. And you have that kind of strength," Fang Ruoxi said calmly.
"You should be talking about me from a month ago, right?" Zhou Wen asked.
Fang Ruoxi's eyes burned as she stared at Zhou Wen. Her tone remained firm. "From my point of view, Zhou Wen is Zhou Wen. He has never changed. You are still the only person in Guide High School that I view as an opponent."
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. He never expected Fang Ruoxi to look at him in such a manner. He felt an indescribable strange emotion.
"What do you mean by saying that to An Jing?" Zhou Wen said in a self-deprecating manner. Although he didn't mind An Jing defeating him, he had to admit that An Jing was indeed much stronger than him.
Fang Ruoxi sighed and said, "That's why I said that you are the only person in Guide High School that I view as an opponent. An Jing doesn't belong here, nor will she be taking the college entrance exam here."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.
"Don't you know? She's already transferred schools. " Fang Ruoxi paused for a moment before continuing, "Although I don't know An Jing's origins, I'm certain that she has already surpassed the Mortal stage. To be able to reach such a level at her age means that her background isn't simple. And with that strength of hers, there's no need for her to take the initiative to challenge you. Furthermore, her arrival and departure were so sudden. It feels like she came specially to beat you up. I thought you already knew her and had a grudge with her. "
Zhou Wen hadn't thought too much about it before, but now that he thought about it carefully, it did seem to be the case. However, he was certain that he had never seen An Jing before, much less had a grudge with her.
How is that possible? I've never seen her before, so it's impossible for me to have a grudge with her. Zhou Wen carefully recalled for a while, but he couldn't figure out how he could have a grudge with An Jing.
"In that case, I was overthinking things." Fang Ruoxi didn't continue the topic as she looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What's your answer?"
"Since you're willing to team up with me, I naturally don't mind cozying up to you," Zhou Wen said with a shrug.
"Then it's a deal. I've already found the other two team members. From today onwards, the four of us will train together during the afternoon cultivation class to ensure that we have sufficient cooperation and tacit understanding during the combat test." Fang Ruoxi looked at the watch on her wrist and turned to Zhou Wen. "Come on. It's almost time for the afternoon cultivation class."
When Li Zhi and Tian Xiangdong saw Fang Ruoxi return with Zhou Wen, they were slightly taken aback. They knew that Fang Ruoxi was looking for a fourth teammate, but they didn't know who she was looking for.
Now that they saw that the person Fang Ruoxi had found was Zhou Wen, they were somewhat puzzled. After all, they had seen what Zhou Wen had done over the past month.
Cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. If one didn't advance, they would fall behind, especially in actual combat. It was difficult to grasp the fleeting opportunities in actual combat despite frequent practice. If one didn't train for a few days, their reaction speed would be much slower. Zhou Wen hadn't trained for more than a month and only knew how to game all day. It made him look pale and sickly, so his actual combat level would definitely plummet.
Just like professional fighters, if they didn't train for a period of time, they needed sufficient time to recover before they could compete. No one could become stronger by lying down. They would only become weaker by lying down.
There were only a few days left before the college entrance examination. Even if Zhou Wen turned over a new leaf, it would probably be difficult for him to return to his original combat level.
"Ruoxi, don't tell me the fourth teammate you mentioned is Zhou Wen? This joke is a little too much! "Tian Xiangdong rubbed his nose and said in an exaggerated manner.
"I'm not joking. Zhou Wen is our fourth teammate," Fang Ruoxi said in all seriousness.
