The second examination venue was an empty, large room.

It wasn’t just Su Yu and his group; teachers from other examination venues were arriving with their students one after another.

The one overseeing the examination wasn’t Director Sun, but the proctor from the War Academy that morning.

Seeing Su Yu’s group arrive, he nodded to Director Sun and continued, “This round of assessment is much simpler than the War Academy’s. The Civilization Academy doesn’t care about the practical value of cultivation realms; as long as the destructive power reaches a certain level, they’ll consider you to have passed.”

Hearing this, Researcher Huang, who had just arrived, chimed in with a smile, “Before the Thousand Jun realm, so-called practical combat tests are a joke. So, we at the Civilization Academy don’t bother with those superficial things. We’ll deal with that later.”

When it comes to trash talk, nobody’s afraid of anyone!

The War Academy testing practical combat at the Kaiyuan realm is like taking your pants off to fart – completely unnecessary!

The Civilization Academy held this in disdain. In their opinion, there’s no need to test practical combat until a student reaches the Tengkong realm.

Reaching the realm is all that matters!

As long as one opens nine apertures and their willpower reaches Tengkong, their physical body will soon follow suit.

The War Academy’s leader coldly retorted, “Combat experience is accumulated gradually from weak to strong. It’s not something that happens overnight. Some Tengkong realm experts have zero combat experience and are killed by Wan Shi realm cultivators on the battlefield. It’s not unheard of!”

“It’s safer to accumulate experience at the Tengkong realm than at the Kaiyuan realm!”

“If you’re afraid of death, don’t cultivate! For the sake of safety, you might as well cultivate to the Shanhai realm before going out!”

Researcher Huang didn’t see anything wrong with that, and said with a smile, “What’s wrong with that? If you have the ability to keep progressing and cultivate to the Shanhai realm, then go for it. The Great Xia Civilization Academy has had experts who only emerged from seclusion at the Shanhai realm, never having stepped outside the academy before. The day they leave the academy is the day they achieve fame and success!”

“You two, shut up!”

Director Sun was getting annoyed. The rivalry between the two academies wasn’t a new thing.

Arguing in this setting wasn’t just about targeting each other, but more about competing for students.

The War Academy also wants Civilization Academy students. This wasn’t the first time this had happened.

“Oversee the examination! If you don’t want to oversee it, I’ll find someone else!”

Director Sun scolded. The War Academy leader stopped talking, ignored the others, and continued, “In front of you are model puppets. Attack them with your strongest power!”

“The maximum score is 270. The model puppet is connected to a data display screen. Attack it, and the score displayed is your score.”

The leader found it a bit boring. This kind of realm assessment isn’t reliable at all!

It’s simply perfunctory!

How can the true realm be determined by a few simple numerical displays?

In the War Academy’s assessment, one needs to test their ability to locate by sound, and their mounted archery. The Civilization Academy, on the other hand, doesn’t test anything. Just give the model a blow, however you want to prepare.

Although not very satisfied with this assessment method, this method has been used by the Civilization Academy for many years. The leader added, “Don’t think that reaching Kaiyuan ninth level will guarantee you 270 points. The Civilization Academy doesn’t emphasize realms, and wants to lower everyone’s realm score. Even if you’re at Kaiyuan seventh level, it’s not uncommon to only score 100 points.”

“Even scoring 200 points with Kaiyuan ninth level is rare.”

The War Academy has limitations on extra points for Myriad Clan Languages. The Civilization Academy also has limitations.

You might be at Kaiyuan ninth level and feel you can get 270 points, but you’ll be lucky if you end up with 200 points.

Here, Researcher Huang chimed in with a smile, “He’s not entirely wrong, but he’s not entirely right either! Students who understand willpower can try to add it to their attacks. Using willpower makes it easier to score high marks.”

This is the difference between the two academies.

The War Academy doesn’t recommend students use willpower, while the Civilization Academy encourages students to use this method to get high scores because being able to use it indicates that you have grasped some fundamentals.

At this moment, Wu Lan suddenly looked at Su Yu, revealing a triumphant smile!

You’re at Kaiyuan ninth level, and I’m at Kaiyuan eighth level, so what!

It’s hard to say whose score will be higher.

By using willpower, she might score 270 points, while Su Yu might only get 200 points. That’s the difference.

“Start the assessment and keep quiet!”

The War Academy leader snapped, not letting the students continue to discuss. “Students 1-104, begin the assessment!”

A student from examination venue 1 came out, and in front of him was a model puppet similar to those in a cultivation hall.

“Teacher, can we use weapons?”

“It’s all the same.”

The leader said indifferently, “Their kind of assessment yields the same effect whether you use weapons or not. They mainly assess your Yuan Qi quantity and willpower strength, using a weapon won’t affect the score much.”

This doesn’t look at the damage result, but how it is evaluated depends on the density of Yuan Qi in the body and the strength of willpower.

“Then I choose to use a knife…”

The student didn’t care. Many people are used to using weapons in cultivation. Without weapon assistance, they can’t perform well.

There was a weapon rack nearby, and the leader didn’t stop him.

Soon, the person walked over with a knife, and after brewing for a moment, he put all his strength into a slash at the puppet!

Bang!

A muffled sound came, and a display screen next to the puppet showed the data.

“22 points…”

The student being assessed was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but say, “Teacher, I’m at Kaiyuan fourth level, how is it possible that I only got 22 points!”

The leader said expressionlessly, “That’s how the Civilization Academy is. They don’t care about your realm, they look at your Yuan Qi reserve and the strength of your willpower, understand? If you have any objections, you can participate in the War Academy assessment next year.”

“Enough!”

Director Sun impatiently said, “Continue the assessment. The model puppet’s scoring has a evaluation standard. If anyone has any objections, they can apply for a retest afterward, but you need to pay a retest fee. This thing is expensive to activate, whoever is willing to pay can apply for a retest!”

The first student was very frustrated. At Kaiyuan fourth level, he should have gotten an extra 60 points, but he only got 22 points. That was a big difference from what he had expected.

“Student 1-139, begin the assessment!”

“Bang!”

This one was straightforward. He just came up and smashed a punch.

“26 points!”

“Hehe, not bad for me being only at the third level!”
The second student was in a good mood. Without comparison, there is no harm. Someone in quadruple cultivation scored 22 points, while he in triple cultivation scored 26 points. Although he was 4 points short, compared to the other person, he was very fortunate!

“Student 3-009, test!”

“Bang!”

“36 points!”

“…”

“Student 2-025, test!”

“…”

On the display screen, scores were constantly appearing. Some were disappointed, some were excited.

Su Yu frowned, this thing was really hard to judge.

Some students at the fifth level of the Primordial Opening Realm scored a high of 110 points!

Some students at the fifth level of the Primordial Opening Realm also scored a low of 30-plus points, which was simply unbelievable. That person was currently doubting their life.

“Student 3-176, test!”

At this time, Su Yu saw an acquaintance.

Liu Yue walked out, chose a sword from the side, gave a delicate shout, and thrust the sword forward.

Bang!

“63 points!”

Liu Yue’s face showed joy. She was at the fourth level of the Primordial Opening Realm, and in principle, the maximum score should be 60 points, but she scored 63 points, exceeding the standard.

The current highest score was the fifth-level student who scored 110 points. Several sixth-level students didn’t score that high.

“Congratulations!”

Su Yu whispered a congratulation. 63 points was already very good. After all, Liu Yue was only at the fourth level of the Primordial Opening Realm.

Liu Yue was happy and walked over, whispering, “If you attach willpower to the weapon, the score will be higher. You should be able to do it too.”

Su Yu had read the Willpower essay before, so he should understand.

Su Yu nodded slightly. He had been paying attention, so he understood a little, and he was quite confident. It was hard to say if he could score 270 points, but it wouldn’t be too low.

“Student 5-179, test!”

Another acquaintance, a student from Nan Yuan Intermediate Academy. The other person was a little uneasy.

Without using a weapon, he slapped the model with his palm.

“14 points!”

“…”

This was probably the lowest score in the entire venue at the moment.

14 points!

Third level of the Primordial Opening Realm.

During the assessment phase, some students who were originally at the second and third level of the Primordial Opening Realm had made some breakthroughs. Now there were very few students at the second level of the Primordial Opening Realm. Most were concentrated in the third level of the Primordial Opening Realm. This was referring to the local people of Nan Yuan. There were more people from out of town at the fourth and fifth levels of the Primordial Opening Realm.

With 14 points, this student’s face turned red immediately, and he was extremely dejected.

Too low!

Su Yu sighed when he saw this. The good ones could score four or five hundred points in the first two rounds, while the bad ones… if the other person didn’t score much in the front, then added together it might only be seventy or eighty points. The gap was too big!

The next one was also an acquaintance, Zhou Tianqi from test hall 3.

“Bang!”

A loud noise came. This person didn’t use a knife or sword, but stabbed with a dagger.

“180 points!”

Seventh level of the Primordial Opening Realm, the full score was 170 points. Zhou Tianqi scored 180 points, living up to his reputation as a Great Xia genius. Of course, you have to add a “small” in front, a small genius.

He scored 190 points in the cultural course, plus this, it was directly 370 points, which was already in the middle rank.

This result wouldn’t be low even in the Great Xia Prefecture.

Zhou Tianqi didn’t show any joy. Several students around him were looking unhappy, a little dissatisfied.

According to the previous agreement, Zhou Tianqi should have gone to retake the exam, but he refused. The Zhou family paid a great price to appease the anger of the other families. Now that several others clearly couldn’t pass the exam, they wouldn’t be polite to him.

Cutting off someone’s future is a great hatred.

After Zhou Tianqi finished the test, Wu Lan was eager to try. She couldn’t wait to take the test now. She wanted to see Su Yu’s black face again, which must be very interesting.

“Student 3-003!”

Wu Lan walked out at once, a little excited, maintaining her composure. She didn’t look back at this time, picked up a sword, gave a light shout, and quickly stabbed the puppet.

Sizzle!

At this moment, there was no muffled sound, only a sharp scratching sound.

“265 points!”

Seeing the data, Wu Lan’s face showed joy, turned to look at Su Yu, her eyes full of pride!

595 points, a little short of the superior rank!

With two tests, she was close to the superior rank.

At this time, even Researcher Huang couldn’t help but open his mouth: “Very strong willpower, not bad! Probably less than 10 people in Great Xia Prefecture can do it this year. How long have you been at the Nourishing Nature stage?”

“Three months!”

Wu Lan was happy inside, pretending to be calm, and said: “I didn’t like cultivation before, it wasted a lot of time, otherwise I could have been at the ninth level of the Primordial Opening Realm, and I could definitely score above 300 points this time…”

Su Yu was slightly shocked, and quickly said: “Teacher, can you score above 270 points?”

“Of course.”

Researcher Huang also quickly said: “But… it’s generally not very hopeful for the ninth level of the Primordial Opening Realm, in terms of willpower…”

He looked at Su Yu and didn’t speak anymore.

You are still a little short, your willpower is a bit weak, far less powerful than Wu Lan.

After all, she is a genius who is expected to enter the superior-superior rank, cultivated from a young age, how can Su Yu, a half-baked person, compare.

595 points, highly admirable!

At this time, the way other students looked at Wu Lan was completely different.

This is the real genius of the Great Xia Prefecture!

Many people didn’t even get 100 points, but others were already close to 600 points. The gap was too big, so big that they didn’t even have the heart to catch up.

Su Yu ignored them and pondered silently.

“Zhou Tianqi used a dagger, Wu Lan used a sword, both are condensing and exploding at one point. Those who scored low have very scattered power, their Yuan Qi is not concentrated, and their willpower is weak…”

“If I use a knife, I must also condense Yuan Qi at one point to score higher.”

“As for the Thunder Origin Blade, I haven’t mastered it skillfully, and I can’t condense it at one point…”

He originally planned to use the Thunder Origin Blade, but after carefully looking at it and judging it, he found that it was not good to use the Thunder Origin Blade.

“It has little to do with weapons, moves, or martial arts skills. The main assessment is the Yuan Qi cohesion and willpower control.”

Su Yu had experience with this. Last time, in order to learn the Thunder Origin Blade, he specially activated the Ripping skill and tried the way of Yuan Qi gathering little by little.

At the ninth level of the Primordial Opening Realm, he can connect to the outside world’s Yuan Qi, and he is more skilled in controlling Yuan Qi.

“Use a fist… no, you can use a finger, condense at one point, the finger is easier to master.”
Su Yu had made a judgment. Although not entirely certain, he decided that he wouldn’t use weapons or martial skills later. Instead, he would channel his Yuan Qi into his fingers and deliver a full-force strike, hoping to achieve a higher score.

After waiting for a moment, Su Yu heard his examination number.

“Student 3-015!”

Su Yu walked out, attracting a lot of attention.

He had caused quite a stir outside before, and almost everyone present recognized him.

Seeing Su Yu come out, many people were curious about how much he could score.

“Even at the ninth level of Kaiyuan, it’s not a guarantee of a good score. He might even get 100 points…”

Someone whispered, full of jealousy.

Even if 100 points were higher than their score, it would still be embarrassing in their eyes. The top student of the War Academy getting 100 points? Look at others, even those at the seventh or eighth level of Kaiyuan could score higher.

Su Yu ignored them, gathering his Yuan Qi and willpower in his right index finger. He hadn’t fully mastered willpower yet, but at his stage, it was mainly about focus, just like taming divine runes.

When you focus, it’s essentially the gathering of willpower.

He gently poked the puppet with his index finger, and many people looked surprised. “This guy… doesn’t want a high score?”

Everyone else was putting in all their effort to slash, and he was just gently extending a finger? What did that mean?

He might as well just flip them the middle finger!

They didn’t understand. Even Wu Lan didn’t quite grasp it, but the few experts in the Soaring realm saw it clearly.

Director Sun smiled and moved his lips, saying, “Interesting. This little fellow… is quite clever. I don’t think anyone guided him, right?”

“I don’t know. Liu Wenyan probably doesn’t care about these things. Even if someone guided him, it would just be small tricks. The key is that this little fellow is only at the ninth level of Kaiyuan, yet his control over Yuan Qi isn’t weak. And his willpower… it’s weak, but his focus is very high when he concentrates.”

As they discussed, the leader of the Great Xia War Academy team transmitted his voice: “A bunch of idiots! Can’t you see more? This little fellow’s strength isn’t in those things. He’s gathering Yuan Qi in his index finger, which is about to explode, yet he remains calm and shows no signs of pain. That’s the real key: resilience!”

“This kind of student should go to the War Academy, not be buried in books at the Civilization Academy!”

He really valued Su Yu at this moment. The Thousand-Chief of the Demon Suppression Army wasn’t here; otherwise, he would have dragged Su Yu into the army.

This kind of student was very suitable for development in the military.

Although they were scolded, Director Sun and the others weren’t angry. At this moment, they suddenly realized something… This was Kaiyuan!

They were all in the Soaring realm, their bodies already incredibly strong, and they had forgotten this.

The bodies of those in the Kaiyuan realm were too weak, and the gathering of Yuan Qi felt like being cut by a knife.

You had to know that only Yellow-grade weapons could withstand the gathering of Yuan Qi. Su Yu was actually using his finger. While this could increase the Yuan Qi gathering, the pain he endured was ten or a hundred times greater than what Wu Lan and the others would experience.

This little fellow was really risking his life to get a high score!

After this finger strike, his index finger might not recover for seven or eight days. The pain in the fingers was excruciating, and he knew it himself.

These discussions were all conducted through voice transmission, so Su Yu and the others were unaware.

It hurt!

Su Yu knew. He knew his own body. But he had experience. Last time, to observe Yuan Qi condensation, his right hand had been swollen for several days.

That was just normal. Now it was an exam. Getting a high score meant a chance to get back 20 merit points. Spending a few hundred dollars on ointment was worth it. He clearly understood which was more important: a few hundred dollars or 20 merit points.

If he didn’t perform during the exam, when else would he?

A hissing sound was heard!

His index finger struck the puppet. The sound wasn’t loud, but Su Yu felt resistance. His index finger became more painful. Su Yu persisted for a while until his finger couldn’t bear it any longer, and then he withdrew his finger.

He appeared calm and collected.

There weren’t many movements or much noise, but at this moment, the students were staring at the display screen, somewhat dumbfounded.

“327 points!”

Wu Lan was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “How is that possible… he…”

How could Su Yu score so high!

So what if he was at the ninth level of Kaiyuan? There were plenty of people at the ninth level of Kaiyuan who couldn’t score 200 points. It wasn’t like a high realm guaranteed a high score. Otherwise, there would be more people at the Civilization Academy.

Zhou Tianqi was also stunned. “327 points… his willpower isn’t strong…”

How could this be!

Director Sun smiled, and the other examiners nodded slightly, as expected.

Those who were cruel to themselves would always get a little something.

This little fellow, his finger wasn’t ruined, was it?

Seeing Wu Lan and the others in disbelief, Director Sun said lightly, “Student Wu Lan, you can try using your finger. You might get 350 points.”

Hearing this, Wu Lan hurriedly said, “Then can I retake the exam?”

“…”

Director Sun was tired. Didn’t your family teach you anything?

What exactly is your family teaching you?

“Cough cough!”

Clearing his throat, Director Sun said lightly, “Next time, maybe. You only have one chance. Also, don’t try things randomly!”

If Wu Lan’s finger was broken, he wouldn’t be able to handle it either.

A fine of 10 million was nothing, but if they broke the finger of the Wu family’s daughter, they would really be under pressure.

It was just an exam, why did they come up with these ideas?

Since the Wu family hadn’t taught her, they were clearly unwilling to let her get hurt, because it wasn’t very meaningful. Except for getting a few extra points during the exam, these families didn’t lack powerful weapons at other times.

Wu Lan was somewhat unwilling. Su Yu had scored 327 points, bringing his total to 527 points, narrowing the gap with her.

She was really unhappy!

She still wanted to see Su Yu looking gloomy and serious.

But now, the guy was happy. He was looking at her with a smug smile…

If Su Yu knew, he would probably feel very wronged.

He was just smiling because he got a high score and was a little happy. What was wrong with smiling?

How was that smug?

He didn’t know that if he had been expressionless, Wu Lan would probably have scolded him as well. Women’s anger could lead to different imaginative interpretations.
595, 527, a difference of 68 points.

Su Yu suddenly closed the gap. Wu Lan was almost in tears. She had thought that this time, she would score over 150 points higher than Su Yu. Who knew that the gap would be narrowed by such a large margin all at once.

Wu Lan was annoyed. Su Yu saw this and felt a little confused. Why did she seem… about to cry?

Could this idiot really be about to cry?

I didn’t provoke you. I just wanted to get back 20 merit points. Did I eat your rice?

“Inexplicable!”

Su Yu muttered in his heart, too lazy to pay attention. Women are all obstacles. The teacher’s words were verified once again. It’s too strange. I’m not even familiar with you.

“Not bad score…”

At this time, Director Sun also spoke, smiling, “For the next assessment, those who haven’t been exposed to the will text, haven’t been exposed to divine runes, and haven’t been exposed to the original texts of myriad races’ cultivation techniques, don’t need to take the test. It’s better to avoid hurting yourselves!”

Obviously, the next assessment is not suitable for some ordinary students. Their assessment may end here.

If their realm scores are not high, and their cultural class scores are not good, the Civilization Academy has already closed its doors to them.

Su Yu didn’t care. After thinking for a while, he walked to Wu Lan’s side and whispered, “Stupid… uh, how many merit points have you accumulated additionally?”

Wu Lan looked at him angrily and didn’t say a word.

“Forget it if you don’t say. I suspect you don’t have any. After all, besides the languages of the myriad races, I feel like you can’t do anything else. It’s impossible for you to go on missions…”

“Nonsense, you’re the one who doesn’t have any!”

Wu Lan said angrily, “I have accumulated merit points! I also helped teachers with translating the languages of the myriad races at the academy before. Although it was just assisting, I have 6 merit points accumulated!”

“…”

Su Yu was dumbfounded. There’s such a thing?

Is Great Xia Prefecture so awesome?

They actually let students in middle academies translate the languages of the myriad races. Is that for real?

He really couldn’t help it and whispered, “Going through the back door? Otherwise, why would they need you to translate? That’s too fake…”

“You’re the one who went through the back door!”

Wu Lan said angrily, “Last time, a large number of original texts in the languages of the myriad races were seized. The strong were unwilling to waste their energy on these low-level cultivation techniques, and other teachers were too busy. We students in the Nourishing Essence stage assisted with the translation. How is that going through the back door!”

She was angered!

And she said angrily, “Even the Civilization Academy needs students in the Nourishing Essence stage to help with translation and assistance. It all counts as merit points. Isn’t that how Civilization Masters earn merit points? By the way, why do you have accumulated merit points?”

She should be wondering if Su Yu went through the back door!

Where did Su Yu get accumulated merit points from?

She was also at the assessment in the morning. She forgot at the time, but Su Yu seemed to have quite a few, 10 merit points accumulated… Right, he had 10 points!

Wu Lan’s mentality collapsed!

How could he have so many? She forgot about it before. Where did Su Yu get those merit points from? Did Bai Feng use his connections to get them for him?

When Su Yu heard this, he understood a little. So that’s how Civilization Masters below the Soaring stage earn merit points. As for him… he’s actually taking the path of a warrior.

He’s the odd one out among Civilization Masters!

“You only have 6 points… Then you only have 655 points, and I have 627 points.”

Su Yu was satisfied!

The difference is very small, only 28 points. He was still worried that he wouldn’t be able to catch up. It seems like there’s a good chance.

“By the way, if you’ve mastered a divine rune, how many points is one divine rune worth?”

“…”

Wu Lan ignored him. She was really angry now.

28 points, only 28 points away!

Why?!

She’s trying to get into a top-tier academy for geniuses. Why is this guy from Nan Yuan able to score over 600 points? It’s even easier than in the morning. He can get into a top-tier academy now.

In the morning, he said he wasn’t relying on luck, but on strength. He’s even stronger.

She didn’t take it seriously in the morning, but now… she’s not convinced!

After being angry for a while, Wu Lan couldn’t hold back and said angrily, “You… you really mastered a divine rune?”

“Can’t say, it’s a secret.”

“What’s so great about it? I can do it too!”

Wu Lan said angrily. It’s not like she can’t do it. Who cares, “What’s the use of mastering a divine rune? I mastered one years ago!”

“…”

Su Yu ignored her. He had gotten most of the information from the idiot. There was no need to waste time on her. The difference was 28 points. He had to find a way to close the gap. It would be a pity if the first place went to this idiot. Obviously, she doesn’t care about the merit point reward.

Next to them, Director Sun said, “The rest of you follow me to continue the assessment. By the way… don’t learn from Su Yu… Forget it, it’s useless to learn from him. You can’t do it.”

He originally wanted to say a few words about not learning from Su Yu and hurting themselves, but after thinking about it, these people can’t even gather Yuan Qi. If they’re not at the eighth level of the Opening Yuan stage, they can’t even do the basic gathering, let alone anything else.

What’s the point of saying these things? It’s too discouraging.

He left, but the other students who hadn’t been assessed yet were full of sorrow. Why is this Director Sun so discouraging?

What does he mean by saying they can’t do it even if they learn?

Isn’t it just poking with a finger?

It’s not like anyone doesn’t know how to do that!

Most people didn’t dare to try rashly, worried that they wouldn’t score well. Some who had no hope of passing in the first place simply went for broke and tried, hoping that maybe there was a chance.

So, less than ten minutes after Su Yu and the others left, the lowest score came out.

3 points!

The lowest score in the entire venue!

No, maybe it’s the lowest score in the history of the assessment. Someone actually got a single-digit score in the realm assessment. Even a little kid at the first level of the Opening Yuan stage might have scored higher than him.

The student who got 3 points was doubting his life at this moment.

Even if he didn’t have any hope in the first place, actually getting 3 points… he suspected that his parents would beat him to death when he got home.

Getting 3 points at the third level of the Opening Yuan stage? Who would believe that!

“Su Yu got 327 points, one finger killed 109 of me… I don’t believe it!”

This student’s mentality collapsed!

He didn’t believe it, he really didn’t believe it. That guy just poked it once, how could there be such a big difference between people!
