Walking 20 hours a day, if not for their willpower sustaining them, they might have collapsed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the comfortable beds, it felt as if heaven itself was lulling them to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, after drinking a nutrient potion, they gathered for the assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., three individual assessments would accommodate the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going in the first batch, Julius and his fellow students wished each other good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated at a desk, Julius soon received a thick stack of test papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have three hours to answer everything.

In his condition, only a top-grade healing potion could save him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his test, Julius’ brain was already turning to mush, as his cells began to break down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First time hearing such a condition, the doctor didn’t know if a mid-grade or a high-grade healing potion was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top-grade healing potion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that a top-grade potion was needed, they couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such potions cost billions of arls. Even void warriors couldn’t access such a life-saving potion, so how could they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps only the Chancellor had such resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing the unfairness of fate, they could only watch as a genius slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortune seemed to favor Julius as a commanding figure arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"State Secretary! why are you here?!\" they greeted, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With a genius like this, how could I not come?\" Amber smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion Julius caused had reached her ears just minutes into the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming his identity, Amber realized a prodigy had arrived at their doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unknown to most, Julius was a rising star who had continuously broken multiple records in the thousand-year history of the Athens Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verifying his identity, Amber dropped everything and rushed to the assessment site from Eastdam City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the boy’s pale body, teetering on the edge of death, Amber sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I arrived in time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out a vial of top-grade healing potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that a top-grade healing potion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\" Amber grinned, preparing a syringe to inject it into Julius’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nash’s backing, a top-grade healing potion was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after the injection, color returned to Julius’s body as he slowly regained consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing around, Julius pieced together what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I get a perfect score...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","6175eeb02d06e3a847ed4b0497c780c658f8fccde0eff156897104484898f6f0","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-135","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-340",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
