At noon, he went back to eat barbecued meat and then went to take his exams. Mo Qiong finished all his exams at five in the afternoon.
Driving 500 points, Shooting 910, Willpower 720, Stamina 640, Reflexes 580, Combat 660, Liberal Arts 505, Science 512, and Engineering 530.
These were excellent results, and he was unquestionably the first in Group 6.
Other than the others who were better than him in a few subjects, he had surpassed them by a large margin.
Mo Qiong was not the one to be eliminated. Otherwise, Group 6 would have been eliminated, but it was obviously not that harsh.
In comparison, Mike and Xiao Yu came back in the middle of the night.
"Why are you so late?" Mo Qiong asked.
Mike shrugged. "Xiao Yu insisted on getting full marks for all the exams, and even dragged me along. In the end, we got full marks for a subject that was usually around 490 points before we stopped."
Mo Qiong smiled. "It's good to have high expectations for yourself. Full marks will definitely pass."
Xiao Yu nodded. "Yes, I don't think even 490 points is safe. Anyway, if we work harder, we might get full marks. Why not?"
Mo Qiong agreed with Xiao Yu's thoughts. He had the same thoughts, so when he realized he could not get full marks in the driving test, he cheated a little.
"Rest early. Tomorrow, we will start a new training." Mo Qiong smiled.
The next morning, everyone ran to the training ground to gather.
There were only a few dozen people left in Group 6, and they might lose people again today.
The annual exam was a strict requirement. No matter how determined one was, if they failed one of the nine compulsory exams, they could only apologize.
When they saw Instructor Waveshift flying through the air, some of them were rather nervous. Although they stood still, their heads were drenched in sweat, and they were still somewhat anxious.
However, some of them were calm and confident. Without a doubt, they were all people who had achieved full marks in their first year.
"Hello, Instructor." Everyone said.
Waveshift nodded with a smile. "Mm. Starting today, all of you will truly enter special training. All of you are now top elites of society, at least in nine different fields. You've reached the peak of ordinary people."
"And I have told you before that after passing this exam, you will have one of the characteristics of a member."
"The Air Wall will be the most important part of your training. Even when you become a member in the future, you will have to keep digging, practicing, and developing it."
"It has endless uses. It can be used in conjunction with many of your skills, allowing you to do things that ordinary people can't do. It can be combined with spear arts, driving skills, and so on to produce a superb effect, expanding into unimaginable uses."
Hearing this, a few people who were nervous immediately relaxed. They felt that since Wabo had directly started talking about the main training, it meant that they had all done well this time and that no one had been eliminated.
Unexpectedly, Waveshift suddenly changed the topic. "Unfortunately, some of you won't be able to experience its wonders."
"…" The corners of their mouths twitched, and their faces fell.
Waveshift chuckled. "Haven't you always wanted to know the passing score? I don't know if it's 460%, or 480%, or even more stringent? "
"Before the exam, I've already told you all about it. At that time, I said … as long as you pass the exam, I'll immediately bestow you with a special ability and begin training on the usage of the air wall."
"You've been here for a year. Don't tell me you didn't know that from the moment you advance to the sixth level, many tasks will require the use of the Air Wall? Some will require the assistance of the Air Wall for very difficult tasks, while others will require the use of the Air Wall when you advance to the sixth level. "
"In other words, before you advance to the sixth level, you won't need the Air Wall for any subject. You'll be able to do it just based on what you've learned in the first year …"
Hearing this, Mo Qiong couldn't help but feel relieved.
Sure enough, passing was a full score.
They had known that the first year's full score was 500. It was just that no one had expected it to be the same as passing.
Even if they had thought of it, they couldn't be sure because it was too challenging.
A year's time was simply too short. Even with the strengthening of the Taaffeite, when the day of the exam arrived, many people still scored 400, 800, or even 490 in some subjects.
They had already worked very hard and didn't slack off. They couldn't be compared to a handful of top students who had scored full marks. After working so hard, how could they not even pass?
Could it be that he really had to train himself like a madman? It was precisely this thought that harmed them.
"When your name is called, you may go to the airport" Wechat Mo said.
He quickly read out a long list of names. In the sixth group, over 50 people had been eliminated at once, leaving only 28 people whose names hadn't been called yet.
From the initial 208 people to the current 28 people, a total of 86.5% had been eliminated in a year.
Wechat Mo continued: "The members must be the best. Some of you really don't have enough talent, so I won't mention it. But some of you can actually achieve full marks. As long as you set your sights on getting full marks or even higher from the very beginning, hold the determination to achieve it no matter what, arrange your time, and train even harder, you'll be able to achieve it "
"However, if you feel that you've worked hard enough, perhaps that's the case. In society, you've worked hard enough. But it's still not enough … the limits of humanity are much higher than you can imagine. If you don't have enough talent, then you'll go mad "
"On the Island of Limits, there's no such thing as taking a step back"
"Perhaps the skills you've learned here will only play a very small role in helping you survive against anomalies in the future, but at the very least, this very small part is the best we can do, and we must do it to the best of our abilities"
In the end, over 50 people were sent away.
No one questioned or caused a ruckus, after going through so many eliminations, everyone was a steady person. Becoming a member wasn't like anything else, if you couldn't meet the requirements and still wanted it, you'd only be harming yourself, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.
Those who stayed until today were the talents that the Blue and White Society needed, they would take up important positions in the outer circle, becoming the mainstay of the outer circle.
After they left, Wechat Mo smiled at the remaining people: "Now, it's time to give you some candy"
…
The Sweet Air Wall characteristic originated from an anomaly, which was said to be a piece of candy.
And this characteristic was given to everyone by taking a small piece of candy from that piece of candy and giving it to everyone.
No one saw the candy, only a small piece of paper. At first, no one knew what it meant, but when Wechat Mo asked them to take a closer look, they found that the front half of the paper was transparent, but when they looked carefully, they could see an insignificant white dot on it.
It was the piece of candy that was given to them.
"That's … that's it?" Mike was shocked.
Wechat Mo smiled: "That's enough. As an anomaly, that piece of candy has a limited quality. Once it's completely eaten, it'll appear on the production line of some sugar factory or confectionery factory. It'll be very troublesome to find it every time, so we'll use it sparingly and keep it in storage for as long as possible. In any case, no matter how much you eat, the characteristic will be the same, it won't change based on how much you eat or how little you eat. All you need to do is to absorb its sugar. "
Seeing that no one moved, Wechat Mo shouted: "What are you all standing there for? Lick it! Don't worry, this paper can be eaten as well, you'll be fine even if you swallow it. As long as you can feel the obvious sweetness, you'll get that characteristic. "
Everyone began to lick the paper, some of them even eating it.
Mo Qiong held it for a while, then suddenly trembled, his face scrunched up.
"Blergh …"
"Damn, this is too sweet!"
Not just Mo Qiong, but everyone else was sick of the sweetness of the candy. This wasn't an 'obvious' sweetness, it was clearly explosively sweet.
Wechat Mo and the teaching assistants were all chuckling. Clearly, they had been like this in the past as well.
"How is it? Does it taste good? "Wechat Mo smiled.
"It's ridiculously sweet!"
"I feel like I'll never want to eat sweets again," someone said.
Wechat Mo curled his lips. "Is that so? If you really don't want to eat sweets again, you can leave now. In any case, you won't be able to use the air wall if you don't have enough sugar. "
Everyone's expression froze. So the air wall needed sugar to maintain?
Wechat Mo said: "Listen, from now on, you can use your thoughts to create an air wall. Through sugar, you can release a type of biological field. This biological field is only effective against air, allowing the air to support you. You can step on it like a hard rock or cushion it like soft mud. It has many wonderful uses, and you'll learn more about it later.
"Of course, even though we've studied it for almost a hundred years and know it like the back of our hand, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a price."
Mo Qiong asked: "And the price is to constantly absorb sugar?"
Wechat Mo smiled. "That's right. It uses up a lot of sugar, much more than you can imagine. For this reason, our society has prepared many sweets filled with sugar. Because the portion that is swallowed and mixed with stomach acid is also part of the sugar in your body, consuming it is even more convenient than injecting it directly into your body. Not only during training, but in the future, you'll need to eat large amounts of sugar almost every day.
"However, since it's a characteristic of our society, it's definitely safe. Even if you overuse it, you won't die, because once the amount of sugar in your body reaches a certain level, you won't be able to create an air wall at all. Thus, you'll at most experience hypoglycemia in an intense battle, or … if you're inexperienced, you'll suddenly run out of sugar and fall to your death …
"Thus, in your future training, you'll need to determine how big, how strong, and how long you can create an air wall. This will be one of your basic skills.
"Apart from that, there's something else you need to take note of. You'll be extremely sensitive to sweet tastes.
"Dishes that you used to find sweet to be moderately sweet will now be extremely sweet. Thus, in the future, when you don't want to replenish your sugar, remember to only use a tenth of your original amount of sugar … "
Mo Qiong nodded. Magnifying his taste buds' sensitivity to sweetness wasn't a big deal.
However, as a society member, they would have to eat large amounts of sugar for a long period of time. This was just asking for trouble. It was clearly unbearably sweet, and they were sick of it just by looking at it, yet they still had to stuff it into their mouths. No matter how much they didn't want to eat it, they had to. Just thinking about it made them feel uncomfortable.
However, there was no helping it. This was something they had to bear. They had to bite the bullet and eat it.
Compared to its effects, this price was negligible. It was already very good.
