Chapter 114: The second test

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Hongbin no longer cared about Yin Tianfan and turned to leave.

Yin Tianfan was so furious that he spun around in the room three times before turning his passionate eyes to Lan Xuanyu.

“Teacher...” Lan Xuanyu became apprehensive upon noticing how his teacher was looking at him.

Yin Tianfan suddenly laughed and giggled. “You see, we are all optimistic about you so you need to work hard. In the future, you will have to make me proud! This teacher of yours has no more future, but you’re the best seedling I have encountered after so many years. I can only depend on you.”

Although Lan Xuanyu did not understand Yin Tianfan’s struggling look, he nodded his head nonetheless.

“We will have another class today, one more time,” Yin Tianfan added while activating the simulation cabin once again.

Lan Xuanyu’s heart trembled. ‘Second practice?! Isn’t this enough!’

Right at that moment, Lan Xuanyu thought to himself, ‘Teacher Ji, please stop coming here ever again... The Devil King has such a great influence...’

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, the end of term and the subsequent end of term test had arrived.

Compared to the midterms, the end of term was undoubtedly more important. The reason was simple — one team would be eliminated. That meant that the original 30 members of the Elite Junior Class would drop to 27.

According to the rules previously mentioned, it was not a single person but the entire team that would be eliminated.

That meant that even if an individual inside the team was in fact strong, there was still the possibility of being eliminated due to being implicated by his or her weaker teammates.

Although this rule seemed unreasonable, it was exceptionally important in grooming the sense of camaraderie amongst the Elite Junior class.

The other students were originally not worried since it was only the first term, the main reason being Qian Lei and Liu Feng’s group was so terrible that everyone first believed that they would be the ones to be eliminated.

Who would have thought that Lan Xuanyu would allow their team to “climb safely” to be exempted from elimination? No matter what, no one wanted to be the first to be eliminated.

Therefore, the question became of who would be the first group to be eliminated?

This caused every student to cultivate at the risk of their lives during the last month, striving to improve themselves in any way possible. No one wanted to be eliminated!

They were all the best and most outstanding amongst their peers to be selected to be in the Elite Junior Class. Since having their Martial Souls awakened, they were treated as the favored ones, and all of them had their own pride. Furthermore, any individual that did not work hard would implicate their entire team. Being supervised by each other, no one had the chance to skive!

This was also what the teachers hoped for the most from the rule, to see the elite junior class students challenging themselves in any circumstance. There was truly a need for harsh requirements.

The end of term exams arrived as scheduled!

“Next, I will be announcing the rules of the test. We will first conduct the physical fitness test and proceed with the Spiritual Power test. The team that gets the most additional points after summing the tests up will not get eliminated. The actual combat test will begin in the afternoon. The most outstanding team there will not be eliminated as well,” Mu Zhongtian announced the rules of the test while gazing down at the student body beneath the stage.

In fact, aside from Lan Xuanyu’s team, all the teams were feeling the tension.

Although Lu Qianxun’s team should be the strongest in terms of strength, everyone was a student of the Elite Junior class, this meant that the disparity between their strength was actually not too large. Any unexpected turns could potentially lead to a different outcome. Under the possibility of being eliminated, how could they not be anxious?

Lu Qianxun turned to look at Lan Xuanyu who was standing close by. On the account of the midterms, Lan Xuanyu’s team — Dorm 333, had jumped from the last place in the entire class to the first.

Of course, everyone was unhappy and unconvinced with the results, but that was their thoughts and emotions. No one could change the reality, they could only change the situation by impacting the end of term exam.

And in reality, if Lan Xuanyu and his team chose to exercise restraint in the tests and give up on the additional points, then Lu Qianxun’s team would most probably “climb ashore” as well. But with Lu Qianxun and Ye Lingtong’s pride, why would they beg Lan Xuanyu’s team?

In the latter half of the term, Lan Xuanyu’s team became extremely low profile. Aside from the classes that everyone had to attend, they never appeared in front of their other classmates.

Even Jin Xiang no longer tried to provoke them. Despite the fierce itch welling inside him, Jin Xiang knew that he can’t beat Lan Xuanyu. And so, he held back on the rage and decided to attain his second ring before going against them again.

But although it was the end of term, the only one who broke into the realm of two Soul Rings Soul Master was Lu Qianxun alone. It was not easy to perform a complete breakthrough.

In the familiar comprehensive test...

Without a doubt, Lan Xuanyu easily attained the additional points for the strength component. The apparatus was the same as midterms. This time, the invigilator got him to come down after attaining five minutes in the test. There was no longer a need to persist for a longer time.

Surprisingly, after reaching the realm of rank 20, Lu Qianxun was able to hold on for five minutes as well and ran neck and neck with Lan Xuanyu.

A pity though, Lan Xuanyu’s group was famed for being extreme. In terms of speed, no one was capable of competing with Liu Feng.

With Lan Xuanyu’s arrival, Liu Feng’s enthusiasm towards cultivation became stronger. After a few months, his speed had increased substantially. He became the only student to obtain additional points in terms of speed.

As for the Spiritual Power test, it was Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei’s world to shine.

“Qian Lei, Spiritual Power at 187. That is a very good achievement, you have improved by a great deal. Additional points for you. Next, Lan Xuanyu.” The invigilator nodded towards Qian Lei in satisfaction.

Qian Lei could be considered the best for a nine-year-old to have Spiritual Power close to 200 in the entire Heaven Luo planet. If compared against the entire federation, he would be ranked among the best.

Lan Xuanyu equipped the Spiritual Power helmet. When the invigilator gave the go-ahead, a faint Spiritual Power stimulated his cerebral cortex and caused his own Spiritual Power to respond.

The Spiritual Power gauge quickly rose as Lan Xuanyu’s mind suddenly became clear.

The invigilators, as well as Mu Zhongtian, observed Lan Xuanyu’s test carefully.

The students were unaware of it, but the teachers knew that Lan Xuanyu had become the vice-president’s disciple. The teachers did not know what the vice-president had taught him for the past three months, but they wanted to see if their training was capable of bringing out a huge increase in Lan Xuanyu’s test results.

Lan Xuanyu’s rank 16 Soul Power had disappointed them as he remained the last of the class. The current average of the class was at rank 18. Many of the students had even broken through to rank 19. There was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu would not be able to break through the 20th rank by next term, and this speed was considered slow.

“It’s at 150 now,” the invigilator whispered to Mu Zhongtian with his eyes revealing a bit of envy.

The children were all so capable now! Even if Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power was not comparable to Qian Lei, at the very least...

While having these thoughts, Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power continued to rise.

“It’s over 180. Can he surpass Qian Lei?” Mu Zhongtian commented excitedly.

The teachers watched as the numbers continued to increase!

“It hit 190! He surpassed him!”

That’s right, it was the first time that Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power had surpassed Qian Lei’s.

Even Qian Lei was stunned. ‘What in the world? Did he surpass me just like that? But I didn’t slack off either! I worked extremely hard while cultivating! How did he do that?’

“193, 194, 195, 196...”

Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power continued to rise, albeit at an extremely slow pace. All the teachers present were completely focused on the screen as they subconsciously tightened their clenched fists.
