What was pain compared to that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also made Lin Qi even more eager—such a powerful talent made it entirely possible for him to awaken a special ability before reaching the Seventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly; the mid-term assessment drew near, and students across all universities grew increasingly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, countless martial arts students rose before dawn and trained until late, drenching themselves in sweat, all to earn a few extra points in the assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-term assessment: November 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Elite Class classroom, only the sound of turning pages and pens scratching on test papers could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi answered questions rapidly, his gaze scanning like radar, his pen moving as if guided by divine will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spent more time on martial arts, he could only maintain his academic performance—no decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he remained the top student in academics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding ling ling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s up.
