32: The Physical Examination
A new week began, and Yuyin was in a good mood. She chose a purple ribbon, put on her school uniform, and headed to school.
In the morning classroom, as the college entrance exam drew nearer, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Some students even took leave from their academic classes to go running and do push-ups. There was no helping it; even for a second-tier Source Martial Academy, or even a Source Martial vocational school, many wanted to give it their all.
"This afternoon is the physical examination for all third-year students. It should have been announced in the group chat yesterday. This examination won't just cover the basic items; it will also measure everyone's Primordial Energy value. This will allow the school to understand the situation and provide guidance on your college applications," the young female head teacher said.
A physical examination? Yuyin was a little surprised. She had been so focused on cultivating and fighting over the weekend that she hadn't even checked QQ.
But there was nothing to prepare for.
When the bell rang, students from several classes came out into the hallway to relax.
Long Xiaotian was leaning against the front door of Class Two, which was also the back door of Class One, surrounded by a few classmates.
"Young Master Long, for this afternoon's physical, you're going to astonish everyone again, aren't you?"
"Young Master Long, please don't unleash your full Primordial Energy, give us less of a shock, won't you?"
"Yeah, comparing people to people is enough to drive one to despair. Since this school already has a Young Master Long, why does it still need me?"
Faced with these envious jabs from his classmates, Long Xiaotian leaned against the wall, his hands in his pockets, with a faint smile.
Long Xiaotian's horizons and aspirations were completely different from those of his mediocre classmates.
He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but turn to look into the adjacent Class One classroom. Yuyin was sitting dignifiedly by the window, talking with a few girls. Her long hair cascaded down, her aura noble, her bearing magnificent.
He walked over, entering Class One and stopping in front of Yuyin.
Seeing Long Xiaotian come in, the surrounding students also seemed a bit wary, making way for him.
"Xia Yuyin." Long Xiaotian, who wasn't tall, stood by Yuyin's desk, a casual smile on his lips as he looked at her. "What school are you planning to apply for?"
"I haven't decided yet," Yuyin replied, looking up at Long Xiaotian. At this moment, she seemed to vaguely sense the unusual Primordial Energy emanating from this seemingly small-statured youth.
Long Xiaotian let out a soft scoff. Shaking his head, he said, "It's nothing. I was just asking casually, not trying to pry for information. You don't need to be nervous. I just wanted to tell you this, Xia Yuyin: wherever you apply to, I will apply to."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding students were somewhat surprised. A genius boy saying such a thing to the school's beauty and Student Council President could be interpreted in many ways.
Even Xiao Huohuo, seeing Long Xiaotian's attitude, was very displeased, breathing heavily.
"Oh..." Yuyin didn't know how to respond to Long Xiaotian's words.
"That's all." Long Xiaotian glanced at Yuyin's collar, turned his back to her, and said, "Wherever you want to go, I can definitely get in. I hope we can meet as first-choice applicants."
With that, Long Xiaotian departed, looking like a man of the world. Before he left, many of the surrounding students didn't dare to speak loudly.
"..." So, what was he trying to say? Yuyin looked confused.

The physical examination began in the afternoon. Of course, boys and girls were in separate classrooms.
Yuyin's eyesight and other basic indicators were naturally excellent. She just hadn't prepared, so her choice of clothing was unforeseen. Fortunately, she hadn't chosen to wear black lace lingerie, otherwise it would have been a bit embarrassing to be exposed in front of the female doctors.
In a bright and clean classroom, the girls waited in line for the Primordial Energy measurement behind a curtain. The test required taking off their blouses and skirts. It also included measurements of their bust, hips, and physiological health, so a screen was necessary.
"Classmates, your Primordial Energy value is important information for each of you and, to a certain extent, a form of privacy. Whether to announce the results is up to your own voluntary choice. If you are willing to announce it, your Primordial Energy value will be displayed on the large screen on campus along with your ranking," the female doctor in a white coat would announce to each group of students that came in.
"This time they're being more considerate. Last year they just announced everything directly, which caused many students to develop pre-exam depression," Yingluo, who was behind Yuyin in line, said.
"Yeah, if your Primordial Energy is high, it's fine. But if it's not high and you haven't made much progress, isn't that even more embarrassing? I don't want to announce mine," a girl from Class Two said.
"Next," a female doctor's voice came from behind the screen. It was Yuyin's turn.
...
On the school's large square, on the big screen installed on the gymnasium, the Primordial Energy values and rankings of many students were constantly scrolling. However, many of them were marked with asterisks, showing only a ranking without a name or value. Those were naturally the ones who chose not to announce.
"What!? Only... 63??? Rank 158..."
Xiao Huohuo trembled as he stared at the big screen, his face full of disbelief.
"I... I clearly had 65 before the winter break! How could it have decreased?"
Xiao Huohuo covered his face and squatted down, dejected. But he also seemed to be enjoying the feeling of getting attention. Many students came up to half-jokingly scold him or comfort him, creating a lively scene.
"The highest rank currently is Liu Li. Truly impressive. Her Primordial Energy is already 91... As expected of a child from a prestigious family, she's already guaranteed a spot in a first-tier academy," a student with glasses praised.
"Look! Long Xiaotian, Young Master Long is coming?"
"So, he's done with his test? He was in the last group, right?"
"Hehe, it looks like the rankings are about to change."
Just then, the announcement system blared: "Student Li Hao from Class Three, Year Three, has reached a Primordial Energy value of 95, ranking first in the school for now. We congratulate him."
"The second-to-last group's results are also out. This Li Hao, the second-best among the boys, really has some skill," many students said in admiration.
"95? This Li Hao guy has something," Long Xiaotian said, his hands in his pockets, leaning against a lamp post with a faint smile.
"Young Master Long, how did it go?"
"What was yours?"
"Wait, don't say it. I'm afraid you'll scare us!"
A large group of students crowded around him.
"Don't worry, the results will be announced soon," Long Xiaotian said casually.
The gap between him and Li Hao, who was temporarily ranked first, was still significant. Long Xiaotian was very confident in his heart, but he didn't let much smugness show. He casually scanned the crowd, lowered his head, and waited for the results.
About ten minutes later.
Someone pointed to the rapidly scrolling big screen. "Look, the results for the last group are out."
The students all turned their attention to the big screen. Although many of them had chosen not to announce their own scores, they all wanted to see who ranked the highest. Of course, in their minds, there was no suspense as to who that person was. The key was how high that person's Primordial Energy value would soar.
Long Xiaotian, however, didn't even bother to look at the big screen, because he already knew his score. He just lowered his head, quietly savoring this moment.
The announcement system blared: "Student Long Xiaotian from Class Two, Year Three, has reached a Primordial Energy value of 104, ranking second in the school. We congratulate him!"
For a moment, Long Xiaotian's body, which had been casually leaning against the lamp post, seemed to freeze.
