Chapter 123: Chapter 26 Xu Mo’s College Life
Early morning, the sun had just risen.
The academy was bustling with vitality.
Today was the second day of the new academic year at Noah Academy, and the freshmen were to be assigned to their departments and undergo comprehensive testing.
It wasn’t just about testing for Source Power Fusion Degree and Source Power Level talents.
For instance, the Mechanical Department needed to test for nerve reaction speed, physical reaction speed, and physical strength, among others.
The Mechanical Department needed to test for nerve reaction speed and proficiency with mechanical weapons among other skills.
The Power Warrior Department required various abilities and qualities to be tested.
Besides that, there was the Engineering Department.
These are broad categories, within which there are further subdivisions.
The Extraordinary Academy primarily aimed at cultivating Transcendents.
Since it was about nurturing Transcendents, the main emphasis was on cultivating practical combat abilities.
Of course, there were also many theoretical courses and public elective courses available.
Early in the morning, Ye Qingdie, Xiao Qi, Elsa, and another shadow, four individuals, had already headed to the academy’s teaching area.
Lin Qingze had everything arranged and would conduct specific tests on the four of them, allowing them to become transfer students at Noah Academy.
Although they were not official students of Noah Academy, they could study just like regular students.
In the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, there had always been transfer students.
Some large families or consortia, wanting their descendants to experience the prestige of the Extraordinary Academy but lacking the necessary qualifications themselves, would establish contacts with the academy through foundations or other means to arrange for their young family members to study there.
Aside from gaining prestige, it also served to expand one’s network.
The disciples of the Extraordinary Academy mostly came from considerably well-off families.
What would ordinary people do with Mechas and various other machinery? They also could not afford to use Source Power Blocks for cultivation unless they were exceptionally talented and could stand on the same starting line as those from wealthy families.
For example, if the Source Power Fusion Degree was strong enough to reach Level B or higher, the academy would admit them even if other aspects were lacking.
If the Source Power Fusion Degree could reach Level A, the academy would eagerly admit them despite any other shortfalls.
If it were Level S… that would be like Xu Mo.
In the courtyard of a small building.
The elder was practicing his punches, his movements slow and seemingly effortless.
But with yesterday’s experience, Xu Mo dared not assume anything.
He stood quietly by the side, watching intently, wondering if he could learn something stealthily.
But no matter how hard he watched, he still couldn’t grasp the essence, even if he focused his spiritual power.
Xu Mo thought perhaps the elder’s boxing technique was too profound for his comprehension, so he couldn’t see through it.
About fifteen minutes later, the elder stopped and stood straight, having finished his routine.
“Teacher, what kind of boxing is this? It’s so profound and inscrutable,” Xu Mo asked, serving up a flattery straight away.
The elder in front of him might be an A-level, in terms of the grade, not fusion degree. Sucking up wouldn’t hurt.
“Boxing?”
The elder looked at Xu Mo and spoke, “This is an elderly exercise routine, just limbering up the muscles and bones for old age.”
“……”
Xu Mo was at a loss for words.
Indeed, “profound and inscrutable.”
But he heard something; was the elder a retired predecessor from the academy?
“Teacher, yesterday I felt the flow of Source Power following your instruction. What should I do next?” Xu Mo asked.
“You felt it?” the elder glanced at Xu Mo.
“I felt it,” Xu Mo nodded.
His spiritual power was strong, and in previous battles, he had sensed the surrounding Source Power Field and fused it with his War Saber to enhance his combat power.
Yesterday, he began to sense the flow of Source Power within his body.
The elder’s eyes held a trace of skepticism as he spoke, “Humans are born with strength, and we can control how we apply that strength to different parts of the body, allowing us to perform various movements. We apply force to our hands to lift heavy objects, and to our legs to jump high. Source Power works similarly, once you feel the flow of Source Power, learn to apply it to different parts of your body to enhance coordination and subsequently unlock the body’s potential.”
The elder’s explanation was straightforward and easy to understand.
Xu Mo understood it as if he concentrated his spiritual power on his eyes, he could achieve a penetrating vision, which was actually an effect of Source Power.
Previously, no one had taught him. Relying on his strong perception, he had always been invincible and naturally did not understand these principles.
Now, hearing the elder’s explanation, he suddenly had a moment of clarity.
“Understand?” the elder asked, seeing Xu Mo nodding on the side.
“I understand,” Xu Mo looked at him.
The elder’s eyes flickered with a hint of suspicion; was this young man just playing around?
“Since you understand, try it. Concentrate your Source Power in your fist and hit me,” the elder decided to teach Xu Mo a lesson.
Pretending to understand!
“Teacher, isn’t that inappropriate?” Xu Mo hesitated.
“Don’t worry, go all out with your level,” the elder said cryptically.
“That’s true,” Xu Mo thought of the elder’s strength and realized he was needlessly worrying.
Xu Mo took a deep breath and stood quietly, sensing the flow of Source Power within him.
Even around his body, a Source Power Field formed.
Xu Mo thought, the elder was instructing him, and he must not embarrass himself.
Therefore, he gave it his all.
He stepped wrongly and threw a punch.
The punch was as quick as the wind.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed as the fist hit the elder’s body, moving the elder’s feet slightly. He puffed his cheeks, eyes widened as he stared at Xu Mo.
Seeing Xu Mo looking up, the elder opened his mouth and released his breath.
Xu Mo, seeing the elder without any reaction, admired him immensely. True to his Level A status!
“Barely adequate, practice more,” the elder finally said.
Xu Mo nodded earnestly, “Thank you for the guidance, Teacher.”
“Hmm.”
The elder placed his hands behind his back and turned to leave, entering a small building.
“Phew…” He stretched out his hand and rubbed the spot where he had been hit.
He was nothing but old bones, yet that youngster really didn’t hold back!!!
However, he actually had an epiphany…
Is this what being Super S is like?
……
The cafeteria at Noah Academy.
Students sat together in groups, making it particularly lively.
At the start of the school year, after the entrance assessments, naturally there were many topics of conversation.
For instance, the two new students at Noah Academy with an A Source Power Fusion Degree.
Reynolds, sixteen, Source Power Fusion Degree A-, Source Power Level C, he chose Mechanical Department.
Chen Qiuxue, seventeen, Source Power Fusion Degree A, Source Power Level C, she chose the Power Warrior Department.
Typically, women are more concerned with self-protection and choose the Mechanical Department.
But it seemed the opposite for the two new students.
However, in today’s assessment, Reynolds’s Mechanical Talent was also very high, attaining a grade of A+.
This meant his Mechanical Talent was even higher than his cultivation talent.
With this, his choice became more understandable.
In the cafeteria, many students were discussing the two new students.
After all, they were notable individuals.
In one corner of the cafeteria, Xu Mo and his friends gathered for a meal.
Lin Xi was there too, as Dean Lin had assigned her the latest job, as the exclusive instructor for Xu Mo and his group.
Lin Xi was very happy, exceptionally happy.
She was well aware that Xu Mo was the person the academy had been looking for.
The rumored A+ entity.
However, since Dean Lin hadn’t disclosed it, naturally, she wouldn’t either.
Apart from Xu Mo, the assessment results for Ye Qingdie and others today were also very good.
Ye Qingdie, Source Power Level C, Source Power Fusion Degree B, firearm comprehensive assessment A.
Though he was a few years older, he could still enroll as a transfer student in the academy to further his studies.
Xiao Qi, Source Power Level C-, Source Power Fusion Degree B-, but he got an A+ in the comprehensive assessment for the Engineering Department, a great support staff!
Shadow, Source Power Level C+, Source Power Fusion Degree B+.
Only Elsa seemed unsuited for the academy.
The Extraordinary Academy had no music department.
As a Genetic Warrior, she was also not fit for other departments.
However, she didn’t really mind, seeing everyone happy made her feel happy too.
This kind of life, she couldn’t have imagined before.
However, they should all thank Sister Xi.
“How does it feel to live there?” Lin Xi asked Xu Mo and his friends.
“It’s good, quiet and comfortable, and the elder seems very impressive,” Xu Mo remarked.
“He must be some retired elder,” Lin Xi said, it looks like Dean Lin had everything arranged.
“Sister Xi.”
Elsewhere, someone called out, and Lin Xi looked in that direction, seeing Sun Xiaoxiao waving from afar.
Li Man and others were also there, nodding at Lin Xi.
Now that Lin Xi was no longer their instructor, Sun Xiaoxiao directly addressed her as Sister Xi, after all, there wasn’t much age difference.
Ye Qingdie glanced at Xiao Qi, only to see him indifferent this time, something that somewhat surprised her.
Sun Xiaoxiao also looked at Xiao Qi, who was quietly eating, with some surprise.
This silly boy was actually ignoring her.
Thinking about this, she felt somewhat displeased.
“How come they are in the academy?” Li Man whispered.
Although Li Man had encountered Xu Mo and his friends a few times, she had never really paid attention to them.
After all, they weren’t in the same circles, and there was no need for interaction.
She was curious, how a group of Desert Hunters like Xu Mo and his friends were also in the academy?
“Looks like, why are they still here?” Sun Xiaoxiao then realized.
“It must be Sister Xi who arranged for them, the academy allows transfer students,” the quiet Su Rou spoke up.
Li Man revealed a trace of surprise, if they were transfer students, then they must also have some merits, otherwise, the academy wouldn’t accept them.
“What exactly is going on with Instructor Lin Xi, to help them out like this?” Jiang Tong was the most upset with Xu Mo and his group.
A bunch of despicable Desert Hunters, yet sitting under the same roof as them.
Sun Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, didn’t mind as much.
Does this mean, that silly boy will also study at the academy in the future?
Wouldn’t that mean meeting him often?
“Reynolds is here.”
At this moment, whispers spread around the place.
Reynolds walked over alone, found a spot, and quietly sat down, in the same row as Xu Mo and his group.
For a moment, he drew many glances.
Even some girls approached him, exchanging contact information, many of whom were rather attractive.
Sixteen years old, Source Power Fusion Degree A-, Source Power Level C, Mechanical Talent Assessment A+, a new student with boundless potential, a future powerful Mechanical Warrior.
Xiao Qi looked over in that direction, then back at Xu Mo.
Brother Mo was still too low-key.
He really wanted to tell those pretty sisters, there’s an S here!
