Chapter 46

The January adjustment exam lasted for three days.

From the first day to the morning of the second day, cultural subject exams were held, and in the afternoon of the second day, the "spirituality test" was conducted.

The third day was the Martial Dao assessment.

...Li Yuan did not disrupt his cultivation plan because of the adjustment exam; he arrived at school after four o'clock as usual to practice his basic cultivation method.

At seven o'clock, he took a shower in the Martial Dao room before rushing to the cafeteria to eat.

Then he and Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others rushed to the examination hall.

The January adjustment exam was one of the two most important large-scale unified exams before the college entrance exam, and both the Education Bureau and the school attached great importance to it.

All standards were strictly in accordance with the college entrance exam; equipment like smart ring watches could not be brought into the venue, and there were various inspections... 20 classes were divided into a total of 40 examination halls.

The seating in the cultural examination hall was based on the ranking of cultural subject grades from the last large-scale exam.

"Brother Yuan, we’re going upstairs." Zhou Qi waved his hand and laughed.

"Brother Yuan, do well on the exam; we’ll wait for you upstairs."

A group of classmates teased Li Yuan and went upstairs one after another; the higher the floor of the examination hall, the higher the ranking.

"These guys." Li Yuan shook his head and smiled.

Suddenly, Li Yuan glanced at the admission ticket in Li Tianyou’s hand and smiled: "Tianyou, I’m in examination hall 29, you’re only in examination hall 33; do well on the exam, I’ll wait for you upstairs."

Saying this, Li Yuan also went upstairs.

Leaving behind a messy-looking Li Tianyou.

...The students in examination hall 29 already belonged to the lower-middle range of cultural subject grades at Guanshan District No. 1 High School.

However, as a key high school, even students in examination hall 35 had hope of getting into a first-tier cultural university.

After Li Yuan sat down, he scanned the room and found quite a few acquaintances.

Besides classmates from his class, it seemed that many were from the elite class.

The cultural grades of students in the Martial Dao elite class were generally not high.

Human energy is limited; without putting in effort, it is difficult to harvest.

"Gu Qianghan, you’re here too?" Li Yuan looked to his side with a smile.

"Call me Gu Qiang." The delicate-looking teenager was very stubborn.

"Alright, Xiao Qiang." Li Yuan laughed: "I remember a few days ago, your sister called you that."

Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan both had independent Martial Dao rooms on the fourth floor of the elite building, so they often met.

The delicate-looking teenager glared, stood up, and seemed to want to argue with Li Yuan.

"The invigilator is here, your homeroom teacher." Li Yuan pointed to the distance, sitting upright.

The delicate-looking teenager quickly sat down and turned his head, finding no one, and looked back at Li Yuan quite angrily: "You tricked me."

"This time it’s really here." Li Yuan said solemnly: "Your homeroom teacher."

"I don't believe it." Gu Qianghan gave Li Yuan the middle finger, with a look of disdain.

"Gu Qianghan!"

"Sit properly! The test papers are being distributed immediately!" A cold shout suddenly exploded from the classroom door. Gu Qianghan’s body shivered, and he immediately lowered his head and sat properly.

The cultural homeroom teacher of the third-year Martial Dao elite class was a female martial artist.

At Guanshan District No. 1 High School, she and Xu Bo were known as the "Literary and Martial Asuras."

The day and a half of cultural subject exams were calm and uneventful for Li Yuan.

For more than a year, Li Yuan’s mental power had been continuously improving, and it was very easy to memorize many rote-learning contents.

But the improvement of mental power did not directly improve intelligence, plus the time he spent on cultural subjects was very little... Li Yuan was very clear-headed.

"Like Zhou Qi and the others, their study grades were originally good, and they spent a lot of time."

"My cultural subject ranking should be slightly improved compared to the last exam... but it is estimated that it is difficult to have a qualitative change." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Just do my best."

After the cultural subject exams were over, all students returned to the cultural classroom, and then many students began to check their answers.

"What is the last question of the math multiple-choice questions? Is it B?" The show-off asked excitedly.

"It should be C." The math genius whose grades were usually close to full marks answered like this.

"But I guessed it blindly; maybe I got it wrong." The math genius added.

"Damn, I calculated C at first, then changed it to B... I feel like I won't pass 150 in math this time." The show-off looked annoyed.

The total score for math was 200, which was the most important subject.

Amidst the noise.

Li Yuan sat in his seat, his mind wandering.

He never checked his answers.

It wasn't confidence, but indifference.

The total score for cultural subjects was 1000, but if one chose to take the Martial Dao university exam, the cultural score would be converted to 100, accounting for only 10%.

For Li Yuan, there was only a 10-point difference in the total score between scoring 700 and 800 in cultural subjects.

But the energy spent was worlds apart.

"According to convention, the difficulty of the January adjustment exam will be higher than the college entrance exam." Li Yuan calculated silently: "This time, the basic points should be full, and a cultural score of over 650 is considered a success."

Suddenly.

Cultural homeroom teacher Chen walked into the classroom with a serious face: "Everyone sit down, the spirituality test schedule is out; our class is at 2 PM, the first to be tested."

Class 1 of the third year was an elite class, and everyone had awakened Martial Dao spirituality, so there was no need to repeat the test.

Class 2 of the third year was the first to be tested.

"After the test is over, it will be self-study."

"But don't practice Martial Dao too hard today; we have a 10,000-meter test tomorrow." Teacher Chen instructed before leaving the classroom.

"Spirituality test! It’s coming again."

"I wonder if I can change my destiny."

"Stop dreaming."

"It’s already the third year of high school, wake up; my urine isn't yellow enough, so I won't piss on you." All the students discussed again.

And many top students in cultural subjects had already silently taken out their books to start self-study.

If one chose the cultural path, then even if one awakened Martial Dao spirituality, there would be no extra points.

"Brother Yuan, your physical fitness seems to have exceeded level 7.0; you should have awakened." Zhou Qi said excitedly.

"Perhaps." Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

He wasn't sure if the spirituality awakening degree of 0.6% would bring about any changes.

More than an hour later.

"I awakened Martial Dao spirituality?" Zhou Qi walked out of the testing room, shocked and bewildered, looking at the test results in his hand, unable to believe it.

It drew the attention of surrounding classmates.

"Zhou Qi, actually awakened?"

"This?" Discussions arose, and almost all the classmates felt it was incredible.

Zhou Qi’s Martial Dao grades in the class were recognized as the bottom.

"Zhou Qi awakened?" Li Yuan smiled slightly, looking at the test sheet in his own hand, which was marked "not awakened."

He had expected not to awaken, as the Divine Palace panel had basically explained it.

However, Zhou Qi’s compatibility with the high-level cultivation method could actually exceed 85% in the third year of high school?

"Some people seek it hard but cannot get it, while others never expect it but get it easily." Li Yuan glanced at the entrance of a testing room in the distance.

Li Tianyou was looking enviously at Zhou Qi, who had become the focus of the crowd.

"Perhaps, sometimes it depends on fate." Li Yuan was quite emotional.

...The testing for all members of Class 2 of the third year was over.

In the end, only Zhou Qi awakened successfully.

The older one gets, the more the body’s bones are set, and the more hopeless the hope of wanting to be compatible with high-level cultivation methods becomes.

Like Class 2 of the third year, having two students awaken Martial Dao spirituality within one semester was already a relatively rare situation.

In the Martial Dao assessment, blood-Qi testing, fist strength testing, and Martial Dao technique were all closed tests, and other students would not know the specific data immediately.

However, the 40-meter, 100-meter, 1-kilometer, and 10-kilometer tests in the physical fitness test.

These were public.

When the January adjustment exam reached the third day.

The students of Class 2 of the third year followed behind the students of the elite class and came to the school’s largest playground.

Here, they could conduct the 10,000-meter long-distance running test.

However, the first physical test was the 40-meter sprint test.

"The elite class’s speed is so fast."

"14.5 m/s!"

"That one reached 15.7 m/s; physical fitness definitely exceeds level 7."

"Damn! Damn! 17.2 m/s? Almost level 8."

"Truly worthy of being the elite class." Beside Li Yuan, classmates in the class watched the elite class students cross the finish line, occasionally bursting into exclamations.

It was no wonder the students of Class 2 of the third year were like this; their physical fitness was generally only level 5-something.

And the elite class students, after half a year of cultivation in the third year, the weakest physical fitness had already exceeded level 6, and even nearly half had exceeded level 7.0.

Cultivating high-level cultivation methods, even if one could only absorb a trace of cosmic source power each time, had a huge advantage compared to ordinary people.

Of course, among the elite class students, those whose physical fitness could reach level 8.0 were still few and far between.

"Look, Lin Lanyue."

"Martial Dao grade number one in the grade."

"It’s her."

On the track, the young girl wearing a red training suit, with bright eyes and white teeth, immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

There was no way around it; in the third year, Lin Lanyue’s fame was too great.

"Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan also looked over curiously; the other party’s physical fitness was indeed extremely strong.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The six figures on the track burst into a sprint instantly, and that red silhouette erupted with the most terrifying speed.

In just over two seconds, Lin Lanyue had already crossed the finish line, faster than the other classmates by more than a notch.

On the electronic display screen in the distance, Lin Lanyue’s final result also appeared — "19.7 m/s"

"Damn."

"Is this a high school student?"

"Almost a martial artist."

"Damn, twice as fast as me; one punch from her could definitely kill me." Bursts of exclamations arose, filled with shock.

Li Yuan’s gaze fell on Lin Lanyue, his mind stirred, and the detection result appeared before his eyes [Target person, life level is 9.0]

"Level 9.0?" Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

After a slight comparison, Li Yuan reached a conclusion: "The speed of physical improvement doesn't seem slower than mine."

Logically, the further one goes, the slower the improvement in physical fitness should be.

But Lin Lanyue’s physical fitness improvement didn't show any signs of slowing down, and it even had a trend of getting faster and faster.

The 40-meter test was conducted very quickly.

Soon it was Class 2 of the third year’s turn.

"Random student ID, first group, 36, 1, 8..." The invigilator quickly reported the test numbers.

Li Yuan, as the number one in Martial Dao grades in the class, had student ID 1.

He stood at the starting point.

"Li Yuan is going to test?"

"What level is his physical fitness?"

"Don't know."

"Should be over level 7; he seemed to be level 6.5 at the start of school." Li Yuan’s appearance also attracted the attention of many students.

Even many elite class students looked over.

Li Yuan, who could rush into the top thirty of the grade from a regular class, was also recognized as the number one in Martial Dao technique.

Especially defeating Lin Lanyue in the last virtual battle, which made him quite famous in the school.

"Lanyue, look, Li Yuan is... oh, you’re already looking at him." The slightly plump girl next to her was just about to call Lin Lanyue.

Only then did she discover that Lin Lanyue had already stopped her footsteps.

"Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue watched seriously; she was quite curious in her heart.

Why could Li Yuan sign a B-level contract with the Starfire Martial Hall?

Perhaps, this adjustment exam would reveal some reasons.

"Lanyue, what level do you think Li Yuan’s physical fitness is?" The slightly plump best friend next to her asked curiously.

"Him?" Lin Lanyue hesitated for a moment: "Maybe level 7.4."

"So high?" The slightly plump best friend was a bit surprised; this physical fitness level was almost in the top ten in the elite class.

At this moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! The six people on the track had already instantly rushed out of the starting point, and Li Yuan was like a sharp arrow, instantly leaving the five classmates far behind.

Pulling out nearly double the distance, he crossed the finish line directly.

"Beep——"

On the electronic display screen, Li Yuan’s result was instantly displayed — "17.8 m/s"
