Those who have reached the sixth or seventh level of Kaiyuan open their eye apertures.

In Nanyuan, there are almost no local students who have opened their eye apertures. At least, Su Yu hasn’t seen any. In test center number 5, those who went with Lao Xie, besides Su Yu, were almost all from the Great Xia Prefecture.

At this moment, Su Yu is surrounded by people from the Great Xia Prefecture.

Su Yu is actually a bit curious. He sees the student who exchanged papers with him earlier and asks in a low voice, “Is it that those at the sixth or seventh level of Kaiyuan in the Great Xia Prefecture can’t get in?”

Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?

Even in the Great Xia Prefecture, those at the sixth or seventh level of Kaiyuan should have a high chance of getting in, right?

The boy who was asked, raised his head and glanced at Lao Xie’s side. Seeing that he didn’t turn around, he whispered, “Those at the sixth or seventh level of Kaiyuan aren’t the top in the Great Xia Prefecture, but they’re considered average. The chances of getting in aren’t small, but cultivation level isn’t everything.”

The boy explained in a low voice, “Besides the basic cultivation level assessment later, there’s also an in-depth assessment, you know?”

“Yeah, the ‘Control’ and ‘Shoot’ assessments are mandatory every year.”

Su Yu nodded, but remained puzzled, “Does that have anything to do with being in Nanyuan?”

“Of course it does!”

The boy said helplessly, “Control and Shoot are also bonus points, but in the Great Xia Prefecture, there are too many people who are proficient. If we take the test, we’ll definitely be at the bottom and won’t get any bonus points. Usually, only those ranked at the top get bonus points.”

“In the Great Xia Prefecture, those at the eighth or ninth level of Kaiyuan have taken up all the spots, so we have no hope.”

“But in Nanyuan… Nanyuan may be small, but if you perform well, it’s easier to get bonus points.”

Su Yu nodded slightly, but asked again, “Getting above 200 points is almost a guaranteed entry. If you score more, apart from the first place, the ranking difference isn’t that big, right?”

“It’s obvious you don’t understand these things!”

The boy shook his head, “Since you’ve managed to keep up, it means you’re above the fifth level of Kaiyuan. You need to know that 200 points can get you into the War Academy, but there are different levels even after you get in. The various academies divide students into nine grades!”

“Lower-lower, lower-middle, lower-upper… all the way to the most excellent upper-upper!”

The boy gritted his teeth, “Lower-grade students have the worst treatment in the academy. They don’t have specialized teachers to guide them. It’s actually very difficult even after getting in, it’s just a nominal thing. You need to be at least a middle-grade student to have the opportunity to access more things.”

“Anything below 300 points is considered a lower-grade student!”

“So you must score above 300 points to truly enter the War Academy.”

The boy looked at Su Yu sympathetically and said, “In the War Academy, besides cultural studies and cultivation level assessments, the most important thing is the practical assessment, which gives a lot of bonus points. The bonus points for the practical assessment are roughly equivalent to the bonus points for the divine runes assessment in the Civilization Academy.”

“That’s why we came to Nanyuan, hoping to score better, rank higher, and get some bonus points. In the Great Xia Prefecture, there’s almost no hope for us to get bonus points.”

Su Yu understood and nodded slightly. He glanced at the girl in front of him and whispered, “The competition is fierce for those at the sixth or seventh level. What about those at the eighth level? Those above the eighth level should be considered geniuses, right? Why are they here too?”

He could feel the gathering of Yuan Qi around the girl in front, which meant that she was at least at the eighth level of Kaiyuan.

“Is that so?”

This boy wasn’t aiming for the Civilization Academy and wasn’t too familiar with Wu Lan. He followed Su Yu’s gaze and hesitated, “I’m not sure. Is it to take first place in Nanyuan? At the eighth level of Kaiyuan, she’s already a genius in the Great Xia Prefecture. Or maybe she only has the cultivation level, but is lacking in other aspects, so she came to Nanyuan for stability.”

Su Yu didn’t ask any further questions. At this moment, everyone had arrived at another test center.

…

Lao Xie looked at the students following behind him and said calmly, “The assessment for those at the sixth or seventh level is worth a total of 80 points. The basic assessment is very simple, just be quick-witted and nimble! In this room, 100 balls will be thrown later, 80 of which are red and 20 are white.”

“Catching a red ball is worth one point, and catching a white ball deducts one point. You need to catch them as quickly as possible. If you can’t distinguish them in time, catch them all, and you can still get 60 points, so as not to miss a large number of red balls.”

The test center in front of them had a total of 5 small rooms.

There were only about 10 people who came, so the assessment would be completed in two rounds.

Lao Xie added, “The throwing time is very short, two minutes, with one ball thrown about every second! I remind everyone again, allocate your physical strength and energy reasonably. You need to know that sometimes it’s harder to give up than to persist! If you use too much physical strength in this round, I’m worried that you won’t be able to persevere in the next assessment.”

Su Yu and the others didn’t say anything. This assessment wasn’t considered beyond the syllabus.

There are several assessment methods for those at the sixth or seventh level of Kaiyuan. This method has been used before, and average academies will also do some related training.

Of course, that’s in the Great Xia Prefecture.

Nanyuan only mentions it and almost never does any training. It’s not that Nanyuan doesn’t value it, but rather that Nanyuan almost never has students above the sixth or seventh level every year.

“You five, go in, don’t waste time!”

Lao Xie shouted softly and pointed at five of them. Staff members next to him began to supervise and count.

Su Yu wasn’t among them, but he was watching very carefully.

Before this, Su Yu had almost never done related training, because he advanced too quickly and didn’t have time to do the training.

The five students were slightly nervous and quickly walked in.

As soon as they entered, a machine in the room began to shoot out balls, very quickly.

“Bang!”

The first time, a student was hit, not only failing to catch the ball but also being hit on the head.

Lao Xie frowned slightly and shouted, “If you can’t keep up with the rhythm, you’ll get hurt! Consider whether to give up…”

Before he finished speaking, the second ball continued to be thrown, not too slowly, and the impact wasn’t small either.

Apart from the one who was just hit and was a little flustered, the others were catching them relatively easily.

However, in such a short period of time, not only did they have to catch the rapidly thrown balls, but they also had to distinguish between red and white. The throwing speed was very fast, making it difficult to distinguish. Often, they would react mentally, but their bodies would involuntarily catch some white balls.

The thrown balls weren’t in a straight line either, sometimes they would be curved, and the students had to run quickly in the small room.

In less than a minute, three out of the five examinees were panting heavily, struggling for breath.

One of them had a face covered in purple bruises, having been hit in the face by the ball several times.

Su Yu had been secretly counting for that person and couldn’t help but sigh, “Caught 32 red balls, 8 white balls, 24 points.”

He couldn’t tell if that person was at the fifth or sixth level, but regardless, it seemed difficult for him to reach 30 points.

Now he understood why some examinees who had reached the required level often couldn’t get full marks.

Thinking about this, he looked at the girl in the other room. She was amazing!

In one minute, she caught about 50 balls. This girl caught 42 red balls, which was all of them, and didn’t catch any white balls, meaning she currently had a perfect score.

“Something’s not right…”

Su Yu could sense the difficulty involved. It required the mind to keep up with the body, and both the mind and body needed to be strong.

The other party was strong, but she seemed very relaxed, even able to predict red or white, which was a manifestation of willpower.

“Very strong willpower!”

Su Yu frowned slightly, indicating that the other party might not only participate in the War Academy exam but might also be a prospective candidate for the Civilization Academy.

Su Yu was confident in catching the balls too.

His willpower was also strong. With an interval of more than one second, which was a long time, he could quickly distinguish between red and white and was confident in catching them all. However, it seemed that the competition for the top spot in this War Academy was very fierce.

This was only exam room number 5, and there were still 4 more exam rooms below.

While he was thinking, two minutes passed.

Some examinees gave up directly and didn’t continue.

Old Xie didn’t care and quickly said as they came out, “80 points, 65 points, 60 points, 32 points, 24 points!”

These were the scores of the first five examinees.

This round of scores was also the most direct!

The examinee who scored 24 points was somewhat frustrated. He was at the sixth level of the Kaiyuan realm, and in theory, 30 points was considered passing, but now he had lost 6 points for nothing.

He was frustrated, and so were the others. The seventh level of the Kaiyuan realm was 80 points, but except for the girl who got full marks, none of them got all the points.

“Next!”

Old Xie looked at Su Yu and the others, and they hurriedly entered the room.

The machine immediately started launching balls again.

…………

Inside the room.

Although Su Yu hadn’t done any relevant training, he had watched for a while and now had a general understanding of the key points.

He used some of his willpower, staring at the machine’s ejection port, and as soon as the ball came out, he sensed its color and trajectory.

Bang!

The ball hit his hand, Su Yu grabbed it, and casually threw it aside. It was red.

His eyes emitted a faint light as Su Yu opened his eye aperture, making everything look very clear.

“Willpower is kind of like cheating… Of course, it’s also my own ability, but let’s try without using willpower…”

Su Yu abandoned his willpower and began to catch the balls using his eye aperture.

Fortunately, even with his willpower turned off, he found it relatively easy to catch them.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Yu wasn’t slow. He had been practicing basic skills for many years, and he had even tempered the acupoints in his hands while painstakingly practicing Thunder Yuan Saber. It was quite easy to catch the balls now.

Outside, Old Xie nodded slightly, revealing a smile.

He could sense Su Yu using his willpower.

This was considered cheating, but if the willpower was cultivated, it was also the other party’s ability, so he didn’t say anything.

But Su Yu stopped using his willpower for the second ball, and he also sensed it. Good, he liked this kind of examinee.

You can use your abilities, but that doesn’t stop me from disliking you!

For example, Old Xie didn’t particularly like the previous girl, Wu Lan. She got full marks, but using willpower in the War Academy exam, was that even testing the realm?

Is strong willpower that great?

If you’re capable, go take the Civilization Academy exam. The War Academy looks at whether your physical realm meets the standard, not whether your willpower meets the standard.

Two minutes later, Su Yu came out panting.

Old Xie smiled, “Not bad, 80 points, full marks! Although you’re a bit disheveled, you got full marks for the sixth or seventh level of the Kaiyuan realm! You advanced quickly, you can get full marks, your basic skills are solid, it seems these five years weren’t wasted!”

Old Xie’s face was full of smiles, which was completely different from his attitude towards Wu Lan, who had gotten full marks earlier.

On the side, Wu Lan’s expression was ugly.

She also got full marks, but Old Xie didn’t mention it much earlier, just announced the score and ended it.

Wu Lan was proud, and couldn’t help but say softly, “Teacher, 80 points in the Great Xia Prefecture is just basic ability…”

Old Xie said faintly, “Yes, but this isn’t the Great Xia Prefecture, and the key is to rely purely on realm. Some people can’t even get 80 points!”

After Old Xie said that, he muttered, “Little girl, not taking the War Academy exam, just wasting exam resources!”

Wu Lan was speechless.

Old Xie was a clear-headed person. Su Yu still had hope of switching to the War Academy, but this little girl had no chance. Without any accidents, she would definitely go to the Civilization Academy.

Since they weren’t on the same path, he was too lazy to recruit her.

Her sister was a genius teaching assistant at the Great Xia Civilization Academy, it was in the data, but Old Xie was too lazy to give her face. The little girl was very proud, and it also depended on who it was.

Old Xie was also a strong person in the Tengkong realm, and he wasn’t necessarily afraid of her.

Of course, it was just an exam, there was no need to offend people, but there was no need to flatter her either, just be a good examiner.

Would Wu Qi dare to cause trouble for him over this little thing?

Did she really think the Dragon Martial Guards were pushovers?

Old Xie didn’t care at all!

On the side, Su Yu also felt everyone’s gaze and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This Old Xie… was really realistic!

He wanted him to apply to the Dragon Martial Academy, praising him in front of everyone, wasn’t that attracting hatred to himself?

Of course, Su Yu didn’t care either.

Getting good exam results and being praised by the teacher was his ability, and he didn’t need to care about what others thought.
Lao Xie looked at the time and continued, “The basic assessment for the first seven levels of Kaiyuan ends here. Adding the 100 points for the cultural class, the total full score is 270 points. The eighth and ninth levels have another 100 points, imperial archery has a full score of 100 points, and combat has a full score of 100 points, totaling 570 points. With an additional 3 or more merit points, the full score exceeds 600 points.”

Lao Xie looked at Su Yu and smiled, “Su Yu, only those who score above 600 points will be rated as superior in the War Academy! Therefore, superior students are rare in the War Academy. You are only at the eighth level of Kaiyuan. Even if you have a lot of additional merit points, you may not have hope of getting a superior rating!”

200 points is considered passing, below 300 points is considered inferior, 300-600 points is considered intermediate, and above 600 points is considered superior.

Su Yu calculated and was slightly discouraged. In that case, he might not be able to get a superior rating.

He didn’t get full marks in the cultural class. Even if he got 80 points, and full marks in other subjects, he would only have 250 points so far.

Of course, in addition to the Ten Thousand Races language, he had accumulated 10 merit points, which is an additional 100 points, bringing his total score to 350 points.

“Unless I get full marks in the eighth level of Kaiyuan, full marks in imperial archery, and full marks in combat, getting all 250 points, I can reach 600 points, barely meeting the standard.”

Su Yu calculated that only if he got full marks in the remaining assessments could he meet the standard for a superior rating.

Even then, he would only be the worst among the superior ratings, barely meeting the lower limit.

Su Yu was curious and couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, what is the score for a top-tier rating?”

“Let’s talk while we walk. Now we’re going to other places to continue the assessment! We’ll gather students from five exam venues to participate in other assessments together!”

Lao Xie replied as he walked, “You’re in Nanyuan, you know too little. Your teachers think you don’t need to know, because they’re afraid of discouraging you. The strongest person in Nanyuan in previous years was just intermediate, so there’s no need to think too much.”

“Top-tier…you can figure it out yourself, above 800 points!”

Su Yu frowned, “But even if you get to the ninth level of Kaiyuan and get full marks in the cultural class, you still won’t reach above 800 points, right?”

“Yes, so top-tier students are all Ten Thousand Jun!”

“…”

Su Yu was speechless.

Lao Xie smiled and said, “Ten Thousand Jun is nothing. You’ll all reach it soon. Those top-tier guys not only reach the Ten Thousand Jun realm, but also have very high merit points, so they accumulate more points than you.”

“Don’t worry too much. Some of those guys are monsters, and some are fake monsters!” Lao Xie said bluntly, “Some guys use Yuanqi liquid like plain water, wasting resources. It’s useless even if these people get a top-tier rating. The academy will still treat them the same. No one wants to deal with mud that can’t be plastered on the wall.”

“When you get to the academy, some strong people would rather take in Kaiyuan seventh-level students from small towns than Ten Thousand Jun students from big families. Besides the higher salary, there’s no real benefit, and the salary doesn’t matter to them. So these fake monsters don’t do very well!”

Lao Xie’s words were very direct.

If he said these words at the Daxia Prefecture assessment, Lao Xie would probably face enormous pressure.

Behind him, Wu Lan felt uncomfortable and said in a deep voice, “Teacher, not all people from big families are like that…”

Lao Xie didn’t care and said, “I didn’t say they all are! I just want to give ordinary students some confidence. For example, in the Civilization Academy, some people master divine runes in advance and get hundreds of points extra. Is that fair?”

“People from small cities don’t even know what divine runes are. Some people start reading the texts of will at the age of seven or eight. How can you compare?”

“Of course, that’s the result of their parents’ hard work, and I won’t deny their contributions. For example, my own children, I’m certainly willing to give them the best, but…competing with geniuses from small cities at the starting stage, acting like I’m better than them…that’s a sign of immaturity and incompetence!”

Lao Xie said calmly, “What can you see at this time? Look again in five years, ten years! That’s when it’s fair. If people from ordinary families haven’t achieved anything after more than ten years, then they’re really ordinary and not considered geniuses.”

“You insist on comparing different starting points at the starting stage. What if you win? Is it glorious? Because my father is strong, my mother is strong, so I’m better than you…only the weak, cowards, and incompetent would think that way! Real geniuses don’t compare themselves to those weaker than them. They’re all competing for the peak!”

Lao Xie said meaningfully, “For example, Wu Qi from the Civilization Academy, she doesn’t want to compare with Liu Hong, but with Xia Yuwen from the Xia family! The wider your heart, the higher your vision, and the further you can go!”

“If you’re going to compare, compare with those people! Su Yu, if you want to prove yourself, would you go to Chen Hao to compare?”

Lao Xie smiled and said, “Of course, you’re still young and may not understand what I’m saying, but it doesn’t matter, you’ll understand later! The advanced assessment is just the beginning of the competition. The advantages of your parents can be reflected at this time, but when you get to Tengkong, Lingyun, Shanhai…what’s the use of your father being an invincible powerhouse?”

“More resources? Guidance from strong people? When it comes to walking your own path, resources are not key, and guidance is not key. If you really have talent, you won’t lack these things. What really matters is yourself!”

Lao Xie’s words left everyone in silence.

Wu Lan was silent for a while, and after a while, whispered, “Thank you for your guidance, teacher!”

“I didn’t guide you!”

Lao Xie didn’t admit it and said indifferently, “It’s not up to me to guide you. I just want to say don’t forget your original intention, don’t be influenced by some messy things. If you cultivate willpower and can’t even bear some rumors and gossip, and your mentality collapses, then you might as well not cultivate and never reach Tengkong in your life!”

“If Liu Wenyan was like that, could he have waited until he was 70 years old to reach Tengkong? He should have committed suicide decades ago!”

At this moment, everyone had arrived at another large examination venue. Lao Xie finally said, “Whether it’s civilization or war, everything is for the sake of the human race. Appropriate competition and appropriate comparison are necessary. Don’t let jealousy and resentment fill everything. Five years later, if you reach Tengkong and he doesn’t, then you can look at him and say, ‘That’s all, the jealousy and envy of the past were just a joke!'”
“And vice versa!”

Old Xie had been talking for a while and had already stopped walking. At this moment, Su Yu and the others had no time to listen, staring dumbfounded at the examination venue in front of them!

In front of them were ten enormous demon beasts!

Yes, demon beasts. They were actually seeing live demon beasts in Nanyuan… How was that possible?

“What are you looking at? These are the lowest-grade Running Cloud Horses, for controlling, controlling demon beasts, not controlling your family’s donkeys! For the exam later, ride one and circle the venue, and that’s a perfect score!”

“It’s simple as hell, I haven’t ridden one of these things in decades.”

Old Xie looked arrogant. What were these things? The most garbage demon beasts. Who would ride these anymore!

“Oh, right, if you fall off or don’t complete a circle, you’ll lose points. If you’ve never seen or ridden one before, don’t be afraid, just grab its fur. Controlling the direction is easy too, it’s the same as the horse-riding tutorials you usually have at the academy.”

Su Yu was speechless. The academy did have such courses, but they really were horse-riding, not riding these things!

Riding and archery were skills that all middle-level academies taught, but there were too few opportunities to use them in small towns.

Learning was one thing, but Su Yu wasn’t confident that he was proficient, especially now that he had changed his mount to this mountain of flesh!

“One circle is 50 points. Be faster, there are still many people to be tested. First come, first served. There’s a three-minute limit. If you go over the time, you fail. There are 10 such venues, which means about 2,000 people are taking the exam. We’re running out of time. If you haven’t taken the exam after the time is up, you get zero points. Be quick.”

Ten venues were enough. Right now, many people were still struggling with identifying liquids, and some were struggling with the listening comprehension.

Allocating time reasonably had been mentioned many times. It was their own fault if those who didn’t know how to prioritize failed the exam.

Su Yu and the others didn’t dare to delay. At this moment, someone was already riding in the venue. The next moment, a student was thrown off the back of a huge Running Cloud Horse. An invigilator caught the student and tossed him aside, “5 points, next!”

This didn’t take three minutes. They were switching every 30 seconds!

Su Yu wanted to wait a bit, but Old Xie pointed at him, “Su Yu, it’s you! You have to strive to be first in everything. How can you win if you don’t strive! I believe in you. Get a top grade this time and show them that there are geniuses even in small places!”

At this moment, many examiners in the venue looked over here. Top grade?

Could Nanyuan produce a top-grade student?

Was Old Xie drunk last night?
