Chapter 101: First test
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qian Lei told Lan Xuanyu that Ye Lingtong and Lu Qianxun’s group topped the entire class for the assessment at the beginning of the semester. If they wanted to remain in first place, they would naturally work extra hard.
But Qian Lei and Liu Feng’s group, who were at the very bottom, obviously didn’t attract much attention, they were even considered doomed to be eliminated.
During this month, Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei had also begun feeling the pressure after making their secondary career choice.
The classes for warship piloting fundamentals had begun and they were all held in the simulators. Right now, they had already tried driving three different types of Soul Guidance cars. Although it was held in the simulator, a considerable amount of time needed to be set aside for training and this used up their time for classes and training.
Lan Xuanyu was slightly regretting his choice. His biggest problem was his low-ranking Soul Power and there was a gap between him and his classmates. Now that he had to use some time to learn piloting, he would obviously be tight on time.
The other students who chose Duo Mecha Master had to learn to pilot the mecha as well but they could increase their battle power directly. Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei’s warship piloting fundamentals include mecha piloting too, but they had to learn many other piloting skills and needed to put in more effort.
As both of their Spiritual Powers broke through the hundreds, they were allowed to choose these secondary professions. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have this chance.
Speaking of Spiritual Power, Lan Xuanyu’s latest result from the Spiritual Power test had shocked even himself – 137. Qian Lei was still above him – 152.
Other than the both of them, among the students, there weren’t many that were over a Spiritual Power of 50. Hence, even though Dorm 333 was seen as the weakest, but because of their outstanding Spiritual Power, the teachers still had some hope for them.
The mid-term examinations were finally here. It was no doubt that this was the first test to assess the results of the Elite Junior Class.
The test at the beginning of the school term was to assess the quality of the Elite Junior Class. Three months of learning and training. These little students were exhausted every day but none of them wanted to be eliminated so they worked very hard. So after three months, how much have they improved? Were there any changes? How big were these changes? This was what Tian Luo Academy eagerly wanted to find out after investing so many resources and hard work. From there, they would be able to revise their teaching.
The mid-term exams were very detailed; they were divided into a sociocultural test, physical data test and actual combat practice with three people in a group. The actual combat competition would be held in the simulator; through Douluo World, they would be able to make an all-out effort and didn’t have to worry about really hurting the opponent, allowing them to bring out the best of their abilities.
In order to not delay their subsequent learning, the entire assessment took up only a day. The sociocultural test and physical data test were in the morning and the actual combat test was in the afternoon.
Sociocultural classes were the easiest for Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei. Having a strong Spiritual Power wasn’t just useful for controlling Soul Power, it was also useful for learning.
A Spiritual Power of 50 points and above was already the Spirit Connection realm and the next level, Spirit Sea realm, required 200 points.
Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei’s Spiritual Power were above 100 and wasn’t too far from the Spirit Sea realm. Their memory power and perception far exceeded others. Hence, the sociocultural exam was quite easy for them. If Qian Lei wasn’t lazy, it wouldn’t be unusual at all for him to top the class every time for the exams with his Spiritual Power.
The sociocultural exam was over, it was time for the physical data test.
Lan Xuanyu was slightly worried.
The physical data test splits into four components, namely strength, speed, Spiritual Power and Soul Power. They were still students, after all, and didn’t need too detailed data.
“Next, Lan Xuanyu.”
The teacher called out and Lan Xuanyu came to the test area.
“We’ll start with the strength test. Remember, you’re not allowed to use your Soul Power to increase your strength during the test, understand? You can only use purely your body’s strength. Same for the speed test later.”
“Understood.”
“Get ready.” The teacher brought Lan Xuanyu into an apparatus.
“The two walls will close in gradually, what you have to do is to stop them from closing in. Hang on for as long as possible.” The teacher said to Lan Xuanyu.
The walls of this apparatus were made of metal and would slowly close in when the test begins. It would close till it could only accommodate a person standing sideways. The testee had to use every method to reduce the speed of the walls closing in and hold them back for as long as possible.
This was undoubtedly a test of a person’s entire body strength; whether it was the body, arms, legs or waist, strength from any part could be utilized. It required a bit of tactic but most importantly, it still relied on one’s strength.
There were already a few people who had done the test. Qian Lei was before Lan Xuanyu and his test result was 17 seconds...
And before Qian Lei was Lu Qianxun. His test result was 2 minutes and 32 seconds. The discrepancy was quite clear to see. At the moment, Lu Qianxun held on the longest.
The shocking one was Ye Lingtong; she was a little girl yet she held on for 1 minute and 17 seconds, winning all the girls. She was worthy of being an owner of a Celestial Dragon spirit indeed.
It could be seen from these data just how strong Ye Lingtong and Lu Qianxun’s group was.
Lan Xuanyu stood in the apparatus, he pondered for a moment then widened his feet. He would block the two metal walls that were approximately 1.3 meters apart with his legs, then he spread his arms and pressed them onto the walls. This way, he would be able to use the strength from both his arms and legs. Lu Qianxun did this just now as well so he followed suit.
“Begin!”
The metal walls slowly closed in and the test officially begins.
Lan Xuanyu immediately felt the pressure from the metal walls.
The pressure increased gradually and both his arms began using strength, pressing on the metal walls, not letting them move an inch.
Liu Feng was behind Lan Xuanyu and he glanced at his roommate who was in the apparatus from time to time.
Qian Lei was simply too embarrassing just now. He practically didn’t block the metal walls at all from the beginning until it completely closed up.
But Lan Xuanyu was entirely different. Since the start, the two metals walls didn’t have signs of budging at all which meant that he was blocking them with his strength.
This was obviously a good sign – the longer one could hold on at the beginning, the easier it would be because later on, once the metal walls closed in, it would be tougher to push them apart.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t feel too much pressure and the metal walls weren’t too strong for him. But very soon, he realized that each time after about ten seconds or so, the pressure from these metal walls would increase slightly. Then, continue to intensify.
Time went by and the pressure started to intensify. Lan Xuanyu began to feel it and it wasn’t as easy to hold on as before.
The blood in his body was boiling; it wasn’t from his Soul Power but the strength in his bones. When his blood started boiling, Lan Xuanyu began feeling excited – he noticed this previously when he was faced with those Lava Hounds too. When he attacked the Lava Hounds, the strength from his blood vessels seemed to be stronger than the increase in strength through his Soul Power.
The teacher conducting the assessment had already nodded; it has been over one and a half minutes. It was a feat to hold on for over a minute and a half for someone his age. Furthermore, in the registration records, this student called Lan Xuanyu was a control-type Soul Master.
It was clear that Lan Xuanyu, who was in the apparatus, was gradually unable to hold on as the two metal walls began closing in. Even so, with the current speed that they were closing in, he should be able to hold on for over two minutes. Among those students who had done the test already, he could possibly be inferior to Lu Qianxun.
