Chapter 116: Su Jin Broke Through to the Third Layer of Spirit Refining Relying on the Silver Marrow Spiritual Milk

"There is also a cultivation common sense exam this afternoon; you must do your best. Perhaps you can even achieve first place in the entire grade," Liu Shi encouraged.

This was not her imagining things; Su Jin's current total score was indeed leading by a cliff-like margin.

Her score was fifty points higher than Su Wuji's.

As for the afternoon cultivation common sense exam, as long as she did not make too many careless mistakes, she would still far surpass Su Wuji.

Su Wuji simply could not catch up to her.

Liu Shi had a vague premonition that among all the students in the first grade, no one could catch up to her total score.

Among the students, Su Wuji looked quite depressed at Liu Shi and Su Jin walking a few steps ahead of him.

How did she manage to surpass him?

Both cultivated the Three Methods; he had already reached the fourth layer of Body Tempering, and his Qi Refining had broken through to the third layer before the exam. He was only slightly weaker in cultivating the Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique, but he had already reached the first layer of Spirit Refining.

Truly unexpected; Su Jin had actually broken through to the third layer of Spirit Refining before the exam as well!!

Once they returned to the Wood Class's own classroom, all the students began chattering again about the total scores of the cultivation assessment.

Because of that lofty total score of five hundred points, Su Jin was frequently mentioned. Everyone looked at her with different eyes.

This was an extraordinary person who, in just three months, had counterattacked from third in the class to first.

However, Liu Shi did not let them discuss for long; she directly took out her books and began the lesson.

Today's cultivation common sense lesson still had to be completed.

Right after lunch in the afternoon, Liu Shi called all the students to the underground assessment area.

It turned out that the underground plaza connected to countless small rooms. Liu Shi arranged for them to enter their own individual exam rooms one by one.

Then they listened to a magical artifact broadcast like a small loudspeaker.

"Exams are being distributed now; the exam will begin in ten minutes. You must submit your papers within an hour. You are not allowed to leave the exam room without completing the exam. Anyone who leaves without authorization will have their exam paper invalidated.

After finishing the exam, if you wish to leave the exam room early, please press the magical artifact bell on the top left corner of your desk. The proctoring instructor will come to verify whether you meet the conditions for leaving the exam room early.

If verification is passed, you may leave the exam room early.

If verification is not passed, you must not leave without authorization. Otherwise, your results will be invalidated."

Soon, the proctoring instructor handed the exam paper to Su Jin.

Su Jin looked at the questions on the paper; they were all fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions, and she knew how to answer them all.

Thus, after the exam began, Su Jin silently started answering the questions.

She finished the one hundred questions very quickly, but she did not intend to submit her paper early.

After checking several times, she simply began cultivating in the exam room.

After all, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense; she did not even need to activate the Spirit Gathering Array.

Only when the proctoring instructor came to urge the submission of papers did she stop cultivating and hand in her paper.

After going out, Liu Shi naturally urged them to return to their three respective classrooms to continue cultivating.

Just before school ended, Liu Shi called everyone back to the First Classroom.

As soon as Su Jin and the others returned, they saw Liu Shi with an excited expression.

After all the young students were seated, Liu Shi said with a smile: "I have good news to report to everyone. Our class's Su Jin achieved excellent results in this small exam, ranking first in the entire grade with a total score of six hundred points. Her cultivation common sense exam was also a perfect score.

Additionally, our class student Su Wuji achieved seventh place in the grade. Su Cheng was twenty-ninth, just barely avoiding dropping out of the top thirty in the grade, but fortunately he did not drop out.

Su Yunhu ranked thirty-seventh in the grade, and Yang Guan ranked thirty-ninth.

Su Linyuan ranked forty-fifth.

Su Yue ranked sixty-second.

Additionally, five students including Su Lan and Qi Yi were admitted to the top one hundred in the grade.

The other students did not rank in the top one hundred.

Later, I will distribute the score sheets to you."

Hearing Liu Shi finish, Yang Guan immediately asked with a depressed expression: "Liu Shi, I have already broken through to the third layer of Body Tempering; why is my total score ranking so low this time? Did I perform poorly on the cultivation common sense exam?"

"No, that is not it. You also scored ninety-eight points on the cultivation common sense exam, which is excellent. Moreover, since you broke through to the third layer of Body Tempering, you originally should have ranked within the top thirty in the grade.

But your luck was not very good this year.

The overall scores of the Martial Class this year were absurdly high.

Not only did they cultivate the Martial Path True Origin, but some also cultivated the Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique.

This caused them to reverse their innate nature and, after entering the Martial Method Qi Refining realm, their total score rankings were very high. Because they cultivated the Martial Path Method Origin, which covers both Body Tempering and Qi Refining, the weighting in the small exam was also different; for every layer they broke through, they added one hundred points.

Besides the Martial Class, among the students this year, there were also quite a few who broke through to the first layer of Spirit Refining within three months.

According to the ranking rules of the Clan Academy, students who cultivated the Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique must rank higher.

So your total score is about the same as Su Yunhu's; Su Yunhu was only one point higher than you.

But he ranks ahead of you.

Another student with the same score as you also ranks ahead of you because they have reached the first layer of Spirit Refining."

Yang Guan felt depressed upon hearing this.

Many of the Su descendants possessed Witch Clan bloodlines, so the number of people breaking through to the first layer of Spirit Refining was far greater than outside.

Sigh, count him unlucky!

"Additionally, I must mention another matter. Although our class's Su Jin is first in the grade, I am not satisfied with your total scores.

Our first grade has only six classes in total; logically, our class should have had sixteen or seventeen students entering the top one hundred this time. Yet our class only has twelve students in the top one hundred. I have seen the scores of those students ranked ahead of you.

Many of them only scored five or six points, or three or four points, higher than you.

Obviously, they performed well on the cultivation common sense exam, while you performed poorly.

Therefore, they can still receive the secondary new medicinal bath packs, while you have nothing.

Are you willing to accept this?" Liu Shi questioned.

The students who did not rank in the top hundred each pressed their small lips together.

"If you are unwilling to accept this, go back and study the cultivation basics textbook properly and work hard. At the next small exam, I hope you will surpass them by five or six points, or three or four points. Do you understand?"

"We understand." Several students answered loudly.

It seems everyone still has ambition.

"Then school is over. Su Jin, Su Wuji, Su Cheng, stay behind."

After the other students had left the classroom, Liu Shi called Su Jin and the other two over to his side.

"Besides the new medicinal bath packs, the top thirty in this school examination also receive extra rewards.

Su Jin, here are your three hundred drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk. The quality of the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk you obtained this time is extremely excellent; it is of supreme grade.

Su Wuji, here is your Silver Marrow Spirit Milk, one hundred drops, and the quality is also supreme grade.

And here is yours, Su Cheng. Although there are only twenty drops, Silver Marrow Spirit Milk is very useful for enhancing your spiritual power, so you must cherish it. Su Jin previously broke through to the third layer of Spirit Refinement relying on just twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk." Liu Shi cited Su Jin as an example to encourage Su Cheng.
