"Are all of you here?"
"Then let's begin the test. Lin Xue'er, you go first, and then please help with the statistics."
Xi Yingjie glanced in the direction of Jiang Chen and the other two, then swiftly proceeded with the process.
Lin Xue'er walked straight towards the podium, and everyone in the class looked at this Prodigy with varying expressions.
The Lin family not only produced a female Prodigy, Lin Qingxuan, but also Lin Xue'er, who was no less impressive than her sister.
Her school uniform could no longer conceal Lin Xue'er's figure, yet it added a touch of youthful innocence to her. Coupled with her pure and beautiful face and her ponytail, she naturally became a candidate for Tianhai No. 1 High School's campus belle.
Even Sun Yao, who had just targeted Jiang Chen, was now staring at Lin Xue'er intently.
Who wouldn't love such a beautiful woman with a good family background? If only he could marry into the Lin family with Lin Xue'er.
Then, seeing his two lackeys almost drooling while looking at Lin Xue'er, Sun Yao frowned and reprimanded them.
"Put away your dog eyes! Is Xue'er someone you can look at?"
Although the two were unconvinced, they still dared not defy Sun Yao's words and could only quickly turn their heads away to sneak glances.
Sun Yao looked at Lin Xue'er's figure with some indignation. How could someone like her associate with a good-for-nothing like Jiang Chen?
He was jealous of Lin Xue'er's relationship with Jiang Chen. Was there really no need to always listen to her sister?
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Lin Xue'er approached Class Teacher Xi Yingjie and extended her slender left hand, which was as fair as white porcelain.
Xi Yingjie turned on the Qi and blood testing device while looking up and asking Lin Xue'er, "Have you kept up with your Cultivation recently?"
"No," Lin Xue'er shook her head, then added in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I should be able to Breakthrough to Second-Rank Martial Artist before the college entrance exam."
Xi Yingjie's movements instantly stopped, and his usually serious face softened slightly.
"Strive to get into the National Training. By then, you might be more than just a Second-Rank Martial Artist."
Xi Yingjie's words left Lin Xue'er momentarily speechless. Is the National Training that powerful?
Seeing Lin Xue'er nod, Xi Yingjie took out a needle-like object, pulled Lin Xue'er's hand, and pricked her finger.
Instantly, bright red blood immediately emerged.
Xi Yingjie took Lin Xue'er's blood and placed it on the Qi and blood value testing device.
"Beep beep beep."
The instrument beeped, and then a robotic female voice sounded.
【Qi and blood value: 820 Cal】
"What?! 820 Cal?!"
Someone in the room shouted loudly, looking at the seemingly delicate girl at the very front with disbelief.
It wasn't just him; almost everyone was shocked by this number.
At first, they thought it would be impressive if someone in the class could reach 800 Qi and blood.
They never expected someone to start with 820 Cal!
Are the people in this class so competitive?
Normally, when asked, they all said they had just had a Breakthrough and had only been Martial Artists for a short time, but suddenly someone came out with over 800.
Listening to their discussions, Jiang Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.
How was this different from his classmates in his previous life?
Before exams, when asked if they had studied, they all uniformly said no.
However, after the actual exam, Jiang Chen realized they were all lying devils.
The joy of being the only one to fail was truly something only he understood.
"Lin Xue'er, doesn't this mean she can directly enter Zone A?"
"This isn't just entering Zone A; this is going into the National Training camp!"
"It's terrifying. I'm only at 400 Cal, and I thought I could catch up, but I guess I was overthinking it."
"Talent is simply worthless in the face of hard work."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but want to retort. Did he think Lin Xue'er wasn't working hard?
Only Jiang Chen understood that the more talented a person was, the harder they would work. While he was fighting in Summoner's Rift, those top students and academic gods were still toiling away in classrooms or dorms.
In Jiang Chen's understanding, while that 1% of talent was very important, that 99% of effort could not be lacking either.
This was the effect Xi Yingjie wanted, otherwise, he wouldn't have had Lin Xue'er test first.
He cleared his throat lightly.
"Alright, everyone quiet down."
"The Martial Dao never allows for laziness. Others have better talent than you and work harder in Cultivation than you. What reason do you have not to work hard?"
"If others Cultivate for 4 hours, you Cultivate for 8 hours. Diligence can compensate for lack of talent, and a slow bird can fly first. There is still a chance to catch up to those ahead."
"Next, Sun Yao."
As the training room quieted down, Sun Yao was like a hyped-up monkey.
He enthusiastically walked towards Xi Yingjie and Lin Xue'er, then lowered his head and said to Lin Xue'er:
"Xue'er, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, but I'm not bad either!"
"In the future, spend less time with a good-for-nothing like Jiang Chen. We can completely help each other and Cultivate together."
Lin Xue'er's delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed. Looking at Sun Yao, who was close to her, she couldn't help but step back to create distance.
"Sun Yao! I don't need you to tell me who to be friends with. Jiang Chen just can't Cultivate the Martial Dao. Why do you only target him?"
"So many people in Xia Guo can't Cultivate the Martial Dao. Are they all good-for-nothings?!"
"So, if you're going to test, hurry up. Other classmates are waiting."
Sun Yao was speechless for a moment. Was what he said wrong?
"Sun Yao, are you going to test?"
Xi Yingjie looked at the somewhat embarrassed Sun Yao and spoke to break the awkwardness.
After all, Sun Yao's talent in the class was second only to Lin Xue'er's, but he didn't know how much his Qi and blood value had increased this time.
"Okay, teacher." Sun Yao nodded at Xi Yingjie, then still somewhat unwillingly tried to explain to Lin Xue'er, "Xue'er, I didn't mean it that way, I'm sorry."
However, seeing that Lin Xue'er no longer wanted to bother with him, Sun Yao finally extended his hand.
Xi Yingjie used the same method to put Sun Yao's blood on the instrument for testing.
Within a few seconds, the instrument once again emitted a robotic female voice.
【Qi and blood value: 782 Cal】
There was another commotion in the room. They didn't expect to have Lin Xue'er, and now Sun Yao.
Someone who usually acted like a spoiled rich kid actually had such a high Qi and blood value!
Upon hearing his Qi and blood value, the smile on Sun Yao's face became even more arrogant.
He glanced at Jiang Chen and Zhang Tianhai in the corner, scoffed, then approached Lin Xue'er and whispered, "See? I'm not bad either."
Lin Xue'er was expressionless -.-.
A somewhat embarrassed Sun Yao returned to his seat amidst everyone's admiring gazes, then immediately mocked Jiang Chen's direction:
"Oi, some people don't even have 100 Qi and blood, do they? They can only go to Zone F and be a commoner."
Hearing Sun Yao's words, this time, Jiang Chen didn't even need to speak; the fatty directly retorted.
"Idiot!"
"You..."
If it weren't for the fatty's status, Sun Yao would have wanted to go up and kill them right then and there.
As people went up to test one by one, it finally came to the fatty and Jiang Chen.
"Next, Zhang Tianhai!"
"Beep beep."
【Qi and blood value: 718 Cal】
This time, the Qi and blood value the fatty produced had the same effect as Lin Xue'er's.
The main reason was that the fatty usually barely Cultivated and spent all his time with Jiang Chen.
Only when Jiang Chen Cultivated would he follow along for a bit. In their impression, the fatty would at most have a little over 500 Cal, as the fatty had passed the First Grade Martial Artist assessment.
They never expected him to reach 718 Cal!
Looking at the fatty's smug expression, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, knowing that this was his favorite kind of moment.
However, Jiang Chen also knew the fatty's talent. In fact, it was not worse than Lin Xue'er's, otherwise, Lin Xue'er would not have invited him to train together.
Next was Jiang Chen. Seeing Jiang Chen go up, the fatty couldn't help but say, "Brother, relax. It's not a big deal if you're not a Martial Artist."
Hearing the fatty's words, Jiang Chen waved his hand without looking back, signaling that he was fine.
"Beep beep."
【Qi and blood value...】
