Chapter 41 : The Eve of the College Entrance Exam

41: The Eve of the College Entrance Exam

However, the Revised Yuan Shixi added that before becoming a Source Martial Practitioner, that is, before completing the transformation of source into spirit. The Primordial Energy a human body could cultivate through training also had an upper limit. Yuyin understood this was probably something like the human body's physiological limit. Without a qualitative breakthrough, one could not improve further. The act of breaking through to become a Source Martial Practitioner was, in itself, surpassing that limit.

And this upper limit varied for each person according to their aptitude.

In fact, for the vast majority of people, the upper limit, let alone reaching 180, did not even reach 100. They simply did not possess the conditions to become a Source Martial Practitioner.

Seen this way, the higher one's aptitude, the naturally higher the upper limit. However, the higher one cultivated, besides the physiological limit, the cultivation itself would become slower and more arduous.

For Yuyin now, the Primordial Energy value required for the college entrance exam was no longer an issue. And looking at it now, although her Primordial Energy value was already close to 180, she was not in a hurry to break through.

After all, the higher the Primordial Energy value before the breakthrough, the greater the achievements in her subsequent cultivation. Of course, many factors influenced one's achievements, but this was one of the key ones.

If Yuyin only wanted to live a good life in Lingdu, with her current aptitude and getting into the Lingdu Source Martial Academy, her future would already be bright enough.

But Yuyin could see the Night Spirits that ordinary people could not see. She had been brought to this world in a sedan chair carried by eight ferocious ghosts, whose memory still made her tremble all over.

Three years from now, Yuyin would also have to consider how to respond to the Ghost King's marriage contract.

How could she be complacent now?

Her foundation had to be solid, because Yuyin's path was destined to be different from everyone else's.

"I'm not in a rush to break through now. I should focus on raising my Primordial Energy value as much as possible, ideally cultivating it to its upper limit."

"I just wonder, what is my upper limit?" Yuyin gazed out the window as night gradually fell, gently stroking her fine hair.

In the final two weeks before the college entrance exam, everyone was giving it their all. Some attended classes during the day and cram school at night. Some trained during the day and did practice problems at night. Some did intensive training both day and night... Everyone was making their final sprint according to their own situation.

Of course, there were also those who gave up on themselves and abandoned their studies.

During these two weeks, Yuyin continued to compete at the Underground Fighting Arena. However, her popularity had soared now. Everyone saw her as an ace, not a dark horse. The shock people felt when Yuyin won was not as great as before. Yuyin mainly relied on her beautiful techniques and combat methods to earn more Soul Charm Points.

Although many fighters were now familiar with her and held her in high esteem, a match was still a match. Whether it was her or her opponent, both would fight seriously. Otherwise, it would be an insult to these fighters.

Yuyin's academic studies, physical training, and Primordial Energy breathing technique all proceeded in an orderly manner, with a focus on cultivating her Primordial Energy value. Of course, her dual cultivation with Yingluo was also indispensable.

Two weeks later.

The day that would decide the fate of countless students who had worked hard and cultivated for years was finally about to arrive.

On the day before the exam, the students all returned to school and sat in the classroom, preparing to listen to the teacher announce the exam arrangements.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

After all, tomorrow was the time for the final battle.

"Classmates, the college entrance exam officially begins tomorrow."

The head teacher, contrary to her usual character, was wearing a pink qipao, seemingly wanting to use this festive color to pray for the children she had taught for three years.

"You should all know that the first part is the Primordial Energy assessment. This is also the most crucial exam for all candidates applying to Source Martial institutions. Only if you pass the threshold for the Primordial Energy assessment will you be qualified to participate in the subsequent physical fitness test and academic exams."

As the female teacher spoke, the students looked at each other, as if trying to see if everyone else was ready.

"Of course, in case you don't pass, don't be disheartened. You can still choose to apply to regular universities or repeat the year. Of course, I personally don't really recommend you repeat the year... Youth is short, cherish every year."

The female teacher looked at these students who had accompanied her for three years. Some had caused her headaches, many had caused trouble and made her dislike them, but at this moment, she felt a sense of reluctance. Regardless of the results of the college entrance exam starting tomorrow, she and her students would soon have to part.

The female teacher seemed to have a slight emotional fluctuation. She composed herself and said, "Next are the specific arrangements. Everyone must listen carefully."

"The location for our No. 21 High School's Primordial Energy assessment has been set. Since the Primordial Energy assessment is of utmost importance, tomorrow morning at 5:30, remember, 5:30, everyone will gather in the front square of the school. The school will arrange for a bus to take everyone to the test site. Do not forget your admission ticket. Do not forget it!" the teacher repeated.

"Teacher Xie, where are the admission tickets?" Xiao Huohuo asked, raising his hand.

"I will hand them out in a moment, don't worry," the teacher said.

"One point to clarify: tomorrow, we will be assessed at the test site along with three other high schools. Please pay attention to order and discipline. Additionally, you must obey the commands and arrangements of the invigilating teachers and the armed forces at the test site. The college entrance exam is a matter of utmost importance in our country; no mistakes are allowed. For the Primordial Energy assessment, there is basically no possibility of cheating, unless it's having someone take the test for you. I trust you won't do that. If a substitute test-taker for the Primordial Energy assessment is discovered, it is a criminal offense."

The teacher repeatedly reminded them of various matters concerning the test site, then said, "I cannot enter the test site, but tomorrow, I will be at the entrance, waiting for good news from all of you..."

As she spoke, Teacher Xie seemed unable to continue...

"The Source Martial College Entrance Exam is finally beginning, isn't it?"

Yuyin gazed out the window at the night that had just fallen. The countdown banner for the exam had been replaced with one that read: "Wishing a triumphant start to the Source Martial College Entrance Exam for all senior three students!"

Yuyin's chest rose and fell under the gentle night breeze, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart.

Two months ago, dressed in a fairy-like feathered robe, she had been reborn in this Magic City in the Ghost King's sedan chair, understanding nothing and having no foundation.

And now, her Primordial Energy value had long surpassed 180, far exceeding the admission score line of any academy.

The college entrance exam, for Yuyin, was something she was fully prepared for, confident of success.

Tonight, she would go back and rest well.

Tomorrow would be the moment for Yuyin to first reveal her strength to this world!
