142: On July 7th, the exam officially begins!

“The real college entrance examination for cultivators is about to begin, and July 7th truly is a clear day!”

“What a hot day!”

Guo Feng stretched, tossing aside the spiritual energy primordial stone fragments in his hand.

He sprang to his feet.

“Panel!”

Host: Guo Feng.

Exclusive Level: 20.

Assets: 28.12 million (increasing…)

Asset Increase: 48.

Expenditures: 9102 / 28 million.

Physical Strength: 6605.05.

In a flash, more than eight days passed, and Guo Feng’s level increased by another grade.

His assets also reached 28.12 million.

However, he didn't upgrade directly.

Because once he upgraded, he would have very little assets left, and if he encountered an emergency and didn't have enough money, he would be completely screwed.

But, his physical strength, after one upgrade and eight days of absorbing 20 spiritual energy primordial stones daily, had reached a terrifying 6605.

It was completely comparable to a thirty-eighth level!

Now, if he encountered someone like Fu Qingshan again, he could kill him directly without using a big move!

“The feeling of increasing my strength is great. Time for the assessment. Aside from my level not being too outrageous, my other stats should be quite outrageous, right?”

“Winning a top ten spot nationwide should be no problem, right?”

Guo Feng smiled, quickly washed up, then went to the outer courtyard to meet up with the crew.

At this time, a driver had already arrived to take them.

It was worth noting that in the past few days, the Luo family, knowing that Guo Feng had bought a manor, directly hired a group of staff to maintain the manor and serve Guo Feng and his crew.

“Old Guo, let’s go! I feel like I've gotten stronger these past few days. This assessment will definitely be fine!”

As soon as Liu Qiang saw Guo Feng, he immediately burst out laughing.

He had a look of mysterious confidence!

“What a coincidence, I’ve also gotten stronger. Do you want to spar?”

Guo Feng asked with a smile.

“Heh heh!”

Liu Qiang curled his lips into a smile.

Afterward, the seven of them, laughing, got into a commercial vehicle and drove towards the Dong'an Lake Sports Center in Rong City.

This Dong'an Lake Sports Center was the main venue for the Asian Games held in Rong City more than a decade ago.

Later, many celebrities also held concerts here.

And now, the Ministry of Education spent a lot of manpower and resources, taking over a month to transform three large venues into cultivator assessment centers.

This was certainly not a one-time use.

Instead, every future assessment would be held here.

In addition, some members of the public could also pay to come here for testing and assessment.

“The Ministry of Education’s influence is indeed growing. Such a large sports venue was requisitioned just like that!”

Guo Feng got out of the car, looking at the three massive venues in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, they found the main group from No. 1 Middle School in a large square in front of the venue.

“Guo Feng!”

Wu Zhen waved to Guo Feng and his crew from afar.

In fact, everyone else had been training in the spiritual realm during this time, even forming teams to go on missions to hone themselves and search for resources.

These people had also made significant progress.

For example, Wu Yue, a B-level awakened, had now reached level ten.

That was considered good!

And Zhao Liang had already reached level twenty-two.

He was surprisingly not much worse than Luo Juan, who had eaten a four-grade lingneng lingguo and a three-grade lingneng lingguo, and had S-level talent!

“Old Wu!”

Guo Feng walked over with a smile, greeted Wu Zhen, and joined the queue.

At the same time, people from other schools also arrived one after another.

Wu Zhen then said to everyone, “The latest assessment detailed rules have been released. I’ve posted them in the group. Please study them carefully!”

He added, “Of course, a new ‘talent’ dimension score has been added, and there is no upper limit for the level score.”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly checked the file in the group.

Guo Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

Exam Rules:

The exam is based on six dimensions: ‘Strength,’ ‘Speed,’ ‘Simulated Combat,’ ‘Written Exam,’ ‘Level Test,’ and ‘Talent.’

Strength 50 points, Speed 50 points, Combat 100 points, Written Exam 50 points, Level Test no upper limit!

Level Score: Level multiplied by 2.

Talent Score: 100 points. SSS-level 100 points, SS+ level 95 points, SS-level 90 points, S+ level 85 points, S-level 80 points, A-level 70 points, B-level 65 points, C-level 60 points, D-level 55 points, E-level 50 points.

What he had worried about before was the level test.

But now, a perfect score of one hundred for talent was enough to boost his score!

Wu Zhen saw that they had finished reading the detailed exam rules, then said, “Alright, follow me to the waiting area.”

“Our exam area is Venue Three, Team Five.”

After speaking, he led the crew to Venue Three.

Along the way, Guo Feng saw Lingneng Army personnel, and the security was exceptionally strict.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere.

Upon reaching Venue Three, identities were checked one by one, and admission chips were issued on the spot and affixed to everyone's clothing.

At the same time, strict security checks were also performed.

After these procedures, the originally noisy queue suddenly became solemn and quiet.

The teams from other schools were also the same.

And when they entered the venue, there were powerful examiners everywhere.

This made everyone even more cautious.

Even Liu Qiang, who was usually jovial, now had a serious expression and seemed a bit nervous.

When Guo Feng and his crew arrived at the waiting area, they saw candidates from over a dozen other schools also walking over.

A total of twelve teams.

Everyone was very serious, not saying an extra word.

After the team leaders finished communicating with the examiners,

a powerful middle-aged man, at least level forty, stood on the second-floor platform of the venue.

He scanned the crowd with his gaze and checked the time.

July 7th, morning, exactly ten o'clock.

He raised his hand and said, “Venue Three, Prestigious Spiritual Energy Academy Assessment, officially begins!”

At his command, several teams walked out and, according to their numbers, proceeded to their assigned examination areas.

These areas were ‘Strength Test Area,’ ‘Speed Test Area,’ ‘Combat Test Area,’ ‘Talent Test Area,’ ‘Written Test Area,’ and ‘Level Test Area.’

Guo Feng and his crew were Team Five, and together with Team Seven, they arrived at the Talent Test Area.

It was a very advanced but large instrument.

The instrument had a relatively large screen.

An examiner pointed to the instrument and said, “This is the latest talent testing instrument developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, effective immediately, with 99% accuracy, and its data is connected to the national database.”

He paused, then waved his hand, “Begin testing! First one, come up!”

As he spoke, Luo Juan walked up.

She first placed her chip card against the instrument’s reader, and soon Luo Juan’s basic information appeared on the screen.

Then, Luo Juan placed her hand in a palm-shaped groove.

Drip—

In an instant, a blood collection needle in the groove pricked Luo Juan’s index finger, drawing blood into the blood collection slot.

Then, the machine hummed and ran quickly.

In just ten seconds, the screen displayed ‘S-level’!

Subsequently, Luo Juan’s information bar showed ‘Talent Score’ as 80 points.

The ‘Total Score’ bar displayed 80 points!

Everyone looked on with envy.

S-level and E-level had a direct difference of thirty points.

However, the talent gap itself was very large.

If one were to speak in terms of strict differences, this score difference was already being polite.

“Next!”

The examiner gave Luo Juan a polite smile, then called out to Guo Feng and his crew.

Guo Feng stretched, walked straight up, and had the system read the information from his chip.

Then, after the assistant examiner disinfected and replaced the blood collection tube,

he directly placed his hand on it.

Pfft—

As the machine intelligently sensed the test subject, the blood collection needle immediately pricked Guo Feng's finger.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the instrument.

“Uh…”

Guo Feng’s mouth twitched, feeling awkward.

As a strength-type awakened, his physical quality already surpassed that of other cultivators.

And, he had consumed a Body Strengthening Spiritual Fruit!

This was something Guo Feng had only recently discovered.

The Body Strengthening Spiritual Fruit not only boosted his spiritual energy but also increased his physical defense!

Therefore…

The blood collection needle not only failed to pierce his skin.

It was also…

Broken by his recoil force.

Everyone present showed shocked expressions.

“Holy crap…”

The examiner couldn't help but exclaim, because this was a blood collection needle made of level one alloy.

It was supposed to be recycled!
