Chapter 213: Grade A-Peerless! Grade A-Peerless! Grade A-Peerless!
Time passed bit by bit, and more and more students from the Combat Department heard the news and rushed over, the corridor gradually becoming bustling.
"Damn, this is making me even more nervous than my own test."
Li Tianyu couldn't help but mutter to Chen Lixin in a low voice.
Chen Lixin looked at her helplessly: "Big sister, there are so many people here, please mind your image."
Li Tianyu rolled her eyes and asked: "How much time has passed already?"
Chen Lixin took out a pocket watch and glanced at it: "About ten minutes."
"Ten minutes!"
The people around them had varied expressions upon hearing this time.
They had all taken this metal-attribute tolerance test, so they knew very well that the length of the test time was the key.
Ten minutes was a threshold; if the test time exceeded ten minutes, it meant that at least in terms of tolerance for metal-attribute implants, this person's aptitude had reached Grade A.
For every minute beyond that, the aptitude would improve by one level.
After another few minutes passed, the crowd in the corridor couldn't help but discuss it heatedly:
"Has it already exceeded fifteen minutes?"
"This aptitude is even better than Grade A-Superior!"
"It's just a pity we don't know how the aptitudes for the other attributes are."
"..."
Wang Fengqing stood quietly in place, not feeling the slightest bit surprised that Li Fei had such a performance.
A person capable of absorbing a Grade 2-Superior 【Steel Armor】 implant should indeed have such good tolerance for metal attributes.
Inside the room, Li Fei would occasionally take the initiative to cut off his connection with the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to avoid appearing too abnormal.
"Student Li Fei, that will do."
Wen Ke, outside the iron cage, suddenly said to Li Fei.
After saying this, she wrote the two characters 'Grade A-Peerless' in the 'Tolerance Test (Metal)' column on Li Fei's form.
Li Fei walked out of the iron cage, took the form from Wen Ke's hand, glanced at it, and asked:
"Professor Wen, what does Grade A-Peerless mean?"
"A level higher than Grade A-Superior is Grade A-Peerless; this is a level where the limit cannot yet be specifically tested through drugs or other means at the current stage."
Wen Ke explained, "For the type of reagent you took just now, the effect almost wears off after fifteen minutes, yet you safely endured past this time, so your aptitude in this category is Grade A-Peerless."
Li Fei was thoughtful: "Does that mean the final comprehensive evaluation of my aptitude will be the sum of all these items?"
Wen Ke nodded: "That's correct."
"In that case, getting just one Grade A-Peerless isn't safe. I still have over a dozen compatibility tests ahead. If those are all Grade B, the average score will be dragged down."
Li Fei thought to himself.
Afterwards, he followed Wen Ke out of the room and was startled by the people in the corridor.
"Professor Wen."
The students in the corridor bowed to Wen Ke one after another.
"What is this?"
Wen Ke looked at the crowd of people with curiosity.
"Professor Wen."
Duanmu Weicai took a step forward, bowed, and said:
"We heard that a new student was doing tests today and were a bit curious, so we came to take a look. We are just observing and will definitely not affect this junior student."
After speaking, he looked at Li Fei behind Wen Ke and nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Fei, how were the results?"
Li Tianyu walked to Li Fei's side, looked at the form in his hand, and her eyes widened sharply.
Then she gave Li Fei a forceful pat on the shoulder:
"Not bad, keep it up!"
"What's the situation with these people?"
Li Fei asked.
"They are all here to see you."
"Am I that famous?"
"You aren't famous, but Senior Sister Wang is too famous. Did you know her before?"
Li Tianyu pointed at Wang Fengqing not far away.
Only then did Li Fei see Wang Fengqing.
"Junior Brother Li, we meet again. You really did get into the Martial University, congratulations."
Wang Fengqing took the initiative to step forward and greet Li Fei.
Li Fei's impression of Wang Fengqing hadn't been very deep back then, until he realized later just how impressive her achievements were.
"Thank you, I'll take your kind words, Senior Sister."
Li Fei said to Wang Fengqing.
Although Wang Fengqing hadn't been able to obtain the 【Steel Armor】 implant back then, she had still magnanimously wished for Li Fei to enter the Martial University soon.
Now, those words had truly come to pass.
The conversation between the two caused another wave of gossip among the other students in the corridor.
They had never seen this legendary figure take the initiative to pay attention to anyone on a normal day.
"Student Li Fei, let's continue the test."
Wen Ke turned and said to Li Fei.
"Alright."
Li Fei followed Wen Ke into the next room.
"Junior Sister Li."
After Li Fei entered the room, Duanmu Weicai suddenly asked Li Tianyu:
"Could you inform us of Junior Brother Li Fei's test results?"
Li Tianyu looked at this 'son of the richest man in Feng Province' and said sternly:
"Sorry, I cannot make decisions for Li Fei. After he finishes testing, you can ask him yourself."
Duanmu Weicai nodded and asked no more.
Next, Li Fei completed the tolerance tests for wood-attribute, water-attribute, and fire-attribute implants in sequence.
Some of these tests were the same as the metal-attribute one, where the key was the duration, while others were different, so the crowd waiting outside could only guess a portion of Li Fei's results:
"The fire-attribute tolerance test time also exceeded fifteen minutes; it should be another Grade A-Peerless!"
"The thunder-attribute tolerance test was the same. Counting this one, that's already three Grade A-Peerless results."
"Metal, fire, and thunder—these three attributes are all Grade A-Peerless. Regardless of the other results, this Li Fei can at least get a Grade A evaluation in the tolerance section."
"Do you think it's possible he gets Grade A-Peerless for the tolerance of all attributes?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even Senior Sister Wang's aptitude wasn't that high."
"..."
As the news gradually spread through the school, more and more people came to hear about it, to the point where the corridor was already packed.
"Fengqing, if he isn't willing to make the test results public, we have no way of knowing. There's no point in continuing to wait here."
Duanmu Weicai suddenly said to Wang Fengqing.
At this moment, Li Fei had already entered the room for the final tolerance test.
The subsequent compatibility tests were completely unrelated to the test time, and continuing to wait outside wouldn't reveal anything.
"Then let's go."
Wang Fengqing nodded and suddenly turned to walk toward the stairwell.
She had come on a whim, suddenly wanting to see Li Fei; she hadn't expected to cause such a big stir.
Seeing that she was leaving, the crowd cleared a path for her.
Duanmu Weicai followed closely behind and left as well.
Seeing those two leave, many people at the scene also left one after another.
"Fengqing, you made such a special trip, and in the end, you didn't see any results. Are you planning to ask Li Fei yourself later?"
Outside the Academic Affairs building, Duanmu Weicai asked Wang Fengqing.
Wang Fengqing shook her head: "No need to ask him, just wait for the credit leaderboard to update."
"The credit leaderboard?"
Duanmu Weicai was startled.
To encourage healthy competition among students, the Martial University specifically created a credit leaderboard for students who enrolled in the first two years, ranking them by the total number of credits earned, with only the top one hundred listed.
"I remember the lowest credit score on the leaderboard is 25 points. You have that much confidence in this Li Fei?"
Duanmu Weicai was somewhat surprised.
Every new student can receive a sum of credits after completing the aptitude test. If the final comprehensive aptitude is Grade A-Inferior, they can get 15 points. If it is Grade A-Superior, they can get 20 points.
To get more than 20 points, one must obtain Grade A-Peerless in multiple tests to be possible.
Duanmu Weicai himself had received 22 points back then, which was already a very excellent score. And Wang Fengqing, the genius with the best aptitude in the history of the Wu'an Martial University, had received 29 points, infinitely close to a perfect score!
Wang Fengqing believing that Li Fei could make it onto the credit leaderboard after finishing his aptitude test meant she believed Li Fei could get at least 25 points.
"I shall wait and see."
Wang Fengqing said this.
Duanmu Weicai heard this and was silent for a moment, then smiled:
"I shall also wait and see."
In the room, the way Wen Ke looked at Li Fei was already completely different from when they first started.
If anyone could see the form she was holding, they would be shocked to discover that from the second item, "Endurance Test (Metal)," all the way to "Endurance Test (Space)," the final ratings for all eleven tests were all Grade A-Superior!
In the sixteen years since Wu'an University was founded, no one had ever achieved such results.
Even Wang Fengqing back then only received seven Grade A-Superior ratings in the endurance category, with other ratings as low as Grade B-Medium.
"Professor Wen, I would like to ask, does this test measure the endurance for spell-type implants?"
Li Fei asked.
This test was labeled "Endurance Test (Spirit)," and he guessed that this "Spirit" referred to spiritual power.
"That's correct. This test is related to spell-type implants. If you can get a Grade A rating, it proves you can cultivate the path of spells. However, you have already embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation, and your aptitude is so good, there is absolutely no need to consider spell-type cultivation."
Wen Ke said to Li Fei.
Although she said that, she still had to test Li Fei.
Li Fei didn't think too much about it and quietly waited for the staff to prepare the reagent.
Soon, the reagent was prepared. After Wen Ke checked it as per protocol, she gave it to Li Fei to consume.
A few seconds later, all sorts of hallucinations began to appear before Li Fei's eyes, just as if he had eaten a poisonous mushroom.
"So, martial arts-type implants harm a person's physical body, while spell-type implants harm a person's spirit."
At this moment, Li Fei understood the difference between spell-type implants and martial arts-type implants.
He re-established his connection with the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, and all the hallucinations before his eyes vanished.
"Student Li Fei, tell me, where are you from?"
"I am from Xingcheng."
"Why did you come to Martial Arts University?"
"To possess greater strength."
"Why do you want to possess greater strength?"
"To be able to control my own destiny."
"."
Li Fei finally understood why Wen Ke had said he didn't need to consider spell-type cultivation at all, yet still insisted on putting him through this test.
It turned out this test also included an "interrogation" phase.
"If it were those with ulterior motives, perhaps they wouldn't be able to pass this test."
Li Fei thought to himself.
After finishing the questioning phase, Wen Ke asked Li Fei to perform a set of fist techniques.
Li Fei complied, performing a set of fist techniques from the Blue Hand without a single error.
After watching, Wen Ke wrote down a "Grade A-Superior" rating in the "Endurance Test (Spirit)" column on the form again.
With this, all twelve of Li Fei's endurance tests were Grade A-Superior!
Back then, after Wang Fengqing finished all the test items, she had only received a total of twelve Grade A-Superior ratings.
In other words, the testing was only halfway through, and Li Fei had already tied the best record in the history of the Martial Arts University!
With a somewhat excited mood, Wen Ke continued to test Li Fei's compatibility.
The result of the first test disappointed her slightly, because Li Fei's compatibility with metal-attribute implants was only Grade B-Superior.
Next, they conducted tests for the twelve attributes including wood, water, and fire. In the end, Li Fei only received three Grade B-Superior ratings, while the rest were Grade B-Medium or Grade B-Inferior.
"With such strong endurance, why is the compatibility so poor?"
Wen Ke was very puzzled.
She had never encountered such a situation.
In this way, Li Fei's "pool" was deep enough, one could even say it was a lake, but the speed of "water storage" was too slow.
With a feeling of great regret, Wen Ke conducted the final test on Li Fei—the drug test.
This test measured the human body's tolerance and absorption capacity for various drugs. The better the test result, the more suitable the person was for consuming various elixirs.
Inside the room, the staff prepared over sixty types of medicinal herbs for Li Fei, requiring him to consume them one by one and then checking his physical reactions.
"No abnormalities on the skin."
"No abnormalities in the pupils."
"No changes in the pulse."
"No abnormalities in the blood."
"."
After consuming each medicinal herb, the staff would check Li Fei's corresponding physical condition, and the result was that no abnormalities were found!
Wen Ke was shocked once again.
After all sixty-plus medicinal herbs had been checked, she looked at Li Fei with a mix of surprise and joy.
Judging by the results, Li Fei's drug test was another Grade A-Superior!
Getting a Grade A-Superior in this test meant that even if Li Fei's compatibility was insufficient, he could accelerate his cultivation speed by consuming more drugs.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Li Fei had the ability to obtain enough drugs.
But for someone who could get thirteen Grade A-Superior ratings, Wen Ke believed the Martial Arts University would not be stingy with Li Fei.
Now, what made Wen Ke struggle was how to give Li Fei's final rating.
According to common sense, out of twenty-five tests, Li Fei got thirteen Grade A-Superior ratings, and the others were Grade B ratings; combined, he would at most get a Grade A-Medium, corresponding to about 18 credits.
But Li Fei's situation was too special.
The endurance tests were all Grade A-Superior, which meant that theoretically, Li Fei could cultivate any high-difficulty martial arts foundation, possessing infinite possibilities!
Although the compatibility test was low, the drug test was Grade A-Superior, giving Li Fei's "water storage" speed infinite possibilities as well.
Combining the two, Wen Ke felt that no matter what, she could not give a "Grade A-Medium" rating.
It would be a waste of talent!
"Student Li Fei, you have completed all the aptitude tests. These are your final test results."
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Ke wrote two characters in the final rating column and then handed the form to Li Fei.
Li Fei took the form and looked at the rating in the last column—
Grade A-Superior!
His comprehensive rating was also Grade A-Superior!
Because the Martial Arts University's tests were very detailed, many people who tested as Grade A aptitude during middle school only ended up with a Grade B comprehensive rating after arriving at the university.
Those who could obtain a Grade A rating were considered the pride of heaven, and as for the Grade A-Superior above Grade A-High, only Wang Fengqing had achieved it at the university in all these years.
Now, there was one more, Li Fei!
