Chapter 115: Five Hundred Points

"Didn't I switch to the Ice Dragon Body Refining Cultivation Technique? This Technique fits me perfectly. Plus, I still have my old foundation; those body-refining medicinal baths I soaked in weren't for nothing."

"So, within a few days, I broke through to the first layer of Body Refining. Since then, every time I cultivate my Body Refining Technique, my progress has been incredibly rapid."

"See, it's only been a dozen or so days, and I've used the Earth Core Blueberry Dew to break through to the second layer of Body Refining again."

"Now I truly understand how powerful a Technique that fits one's own body can be." Su Cheng whispered to Su Jin.

Seeing that he clearly didn't want others to know his true cultivation, Su Jin lowered her voice and said, "Then congratulations on switching to the Ice Dragon Body Refining Cultivation Technique. Your progress in body refining is truly like traveling a thousand li in a single day."

"Hehehe," Su Cheng laughed.

At this moment, Su Yunhu also hurriedly came over.

"What are you two talking about?"

"We're discussing the estimated total score for our cultivation assessment. How many points do you think you'll get?" Su Cheng asked hurriedly.

"I finally broke through to the second layer of Qi Refining, and unexpectedly reached the first layer of Spirit Refining two days ago. As for Body Refining, let's not even mention it; I probably need to temper and refine myself for a while longer. I roughly calculated that I can get at most two hundred points. Sigh, times are tough!"

"There's no hope for the top thirty in the grade, and I don't even know if I can make it into the top hundred." Su Yunhu said with a bitter expression.

"You fool, hurry up and eat the Earth Core Blueberry Dew to break through the first layer of Body Refining. Even if you can't get into the top thirty of the grade, at least fight for a good ranking in the top hundred." Su Cheng criticized him: "At a time like this, what are you hiding for? Drink it quickly; breaking through is what matters."

"I was thinking of using the Earth Core Blueberry Dew when I break through to the second layer of Body Refining."

As Su Yunhu spoke, he thought: Such an expensive spiritual dew, he was somewhat reluctant to drink it.

"Don't save it. Having a good ranking is better than anything else. Just look at the style of our clan school; only those with high rankings get various new benefits and new resources."

"Those with low rankings get nothing at all."

"If you don't have a good standing, and the clan school announces some opportunity later, I'm afraid you won't even have the qualification to be selected." Su Cheng said realistically.

Actually, Su Cheng's guess might come true.

"Then I'll go back and drink the Earth Core Blueberry Dew." Su Yunhu finally made up his mind.

Because they were about to take the minor exam, for three consecutive days the students frantically cultivated their Cultivation Techniques and studied cultivation common sense. It seemed as if by rolling themselves up, they could surpass the other students.

Finally, the day of the minor exam arrived.

As soon as Liu Shi arrived, he notified all the students: "Everyone, pack up your things. Items that aren't too valuable can just be left in the classroom. We are going to the underground exam area now to test our cultivation."

The students followed Liu Shi one by one into an underground building.

The entrance and exit were on the ground, but the main structure was built underground.

As soon as everyone entered, they found themselves in a large stone-paved square.

In the center of the square stood a strange light gate. "That light gate is a magical artifact specially applied for by the Headmaster from the Sect for our special Cultivation Technique testing. You are lucky in the future; testing cultivation has become simple."

"It wasn't this easy before." Liu Shi complained.

When Su Jin and the others entered, they found that only a few adults wearing instructor robes and their class were present in the entire square.

However, the Headmaster and the two Vice Headmasters were both there.

"The cultivation test is done class by class. Our class is ranked first this year. Come on, everyone, no need to be nervous. We will walk through the light gate one by one, and your total cultivation test score will be announced directly by the light gate."

"Su Wuji, you go first." Liu Shi called out.

"Yes, Liu Shi." Su Wuji was not intimidated and walked straight through the middle of the light gate with confidence.

"Student Su Wuji, Wood Class. Qi Refining third layer, one hundred fifty points; Body Refining fourth layer, two hundred points; Spirit Refining first layer, one hundred points. Total score: four hundred fifty points."

The crowd of students standing behind Su Wuji erupted in a collective murmur.

It wasn't that the score was too low, but that it was too high.

Su Wuji is actually at Qi Refining third layer and Body Refining fourth layer; is he planning to rank first in the grade?

Liu Shi was also somewhat surprised.

But she remained relatively calm; only the slight smile at the corner of her mouth revealed her mood.

"Su Cheng, you are second."

Hearing this, Su Cheng walked through the light gate just as confidently as Su Wuji.

"Student Su Cheng, Wood Class. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points; Body Refining second layer, one hundred points; Spirit Refining first layer, one hundred points. Total score: three hundred points."

Liu Shi was stunned again; she hadn't expected Su Cheng to have reached the first layer of Spirit Refining either.

"Su Jin, you go."

Hearing Liu Shi's words, Su Jin stepped forward toward the light gate.

In fact, the moment she saw the light gate, Su Jin felt something was wrong. That light gate emitting a blue glow, could it really measure her true cultivation?

Although her heart was uneasy, she walked through the light gate with an unchanged expression.

"Student Su Jin, Wood Class. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points; Spirit Refining third layer, three hundred points; Body Refining second layer, one hundred points. Total score: five hundred points."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shi's eyes immediately widened. With this total score, who else could surpass her this year?

Was the first place in the grade locked in early?

Of course, what shocked her the most was that Su Jin had actually broken through to the third layer of Spirit Refining!!

How high must her Soul Dao talent be!!

The students present, along with the other instructors, all turned their gaze toward Su Jin. This time, their gaze did not leave her for a long time.

This little girl is too strong; could she be the first in the grade?

Liu Shi took a deep breath and continued calmly, "Next, Su Yunhu."

Su Yunhu subsequently walked through the light gate as well.

"Student Su Yunhu. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points; Spirit Refining first layer, one hundred points; Body Refining first layer, fifty points. Total score: two hundred fifty points."

Next, Liu Shi called Su Linyuan.

"Student Su Linyuan. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points; Body Refining second layer, one hundred points. Total score: two hundred points."

Then came Yang Guan. "Student Yang Guan. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points; Body Refining third layer, one hundred fifty points. Total score: two hundred fifty points."

Immediately after, Liu Shi called Su Yue up. "Student Su Yue. Qi Refining second layer, one hundred points. Total score: one hundred points."

After Su Yue, not a single person scored over a hundred. Everyone was in the fifties.

The Wood Class students finished their test quickly and were led away by Instructor Liu.

As they walked out, the Martial Class students happened to be walking in.

The students of both classes were unusually silent, quietly watching the others leave.

Once they were out of the school examination area, Instructor Liu finally burst into hearty laughter.

While leading the group along, she said to Su Jin, who was walking beside her: "How did you break through to the third layer of Spirit Refining?"

"Lucky, just lucky. I broke through without even paying attention," Su Jin said. "Also, that bottle of medicinal pills helped me a great deal." The moment Su Jin said this, Instructor Liu immediately recalled that bottle containing twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk.

Instructor Liu was actually very surprised that Su Jin had broken through to the third layer of Spirit Refining with only twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk.
