Chapter 41: The Night Before the College Entrance Examination
However, “Source Ten Breaths Revised” also added that before becoming a source warrior, that is, before completing the transformation of source energy into spirit, the source energy that the human body can cultivate has an upper limit. Yuyin understood that this was likely related to human physiological limits; without a qualitative leap, one could not improve further. Breaking through to a source warrior is essentially breaking through that limit.
And each person has a different upper limit based on their aptitude.
In fact, the vast majority of people, let alone reaching 180, can’t even reach 100, which means they don’t have the conditions to become a source warrior at all.
In this light, the higher the aptitude, the higher the upper limit. However, the higher one cultivates, the slower and more difficult the cultivation becomes, aside from physiological limits.
For Yuyin now, the required source energy value for the college entrance examination was no longer a problem. Although her source energy value was already close to 180, she wasn’t in a hurry to break through.
After all, the higher the source energy value before breaking through, the greater the achievements in future cultivation. Of course, there are many factors affecting cultivation achievements; this is just one factor, but it is one of the key factors.
If Yuyin only wanted to live well in Zero City, relying on her current aptitude to get into the Zero City Academy, her future would already be bright enough.
However, Yuyin could see the Night Spirits that ordinary people could not see, and she was brought into this world by the imposing eight-headed demon king, which still sent shivers down her spine.
Three years later, Yuyin would also have to consider how to respond to the demon king’s marriage proposal.
How could she slack off?
The foundation must be solid because Yuyin’s path is destined to be different from everyone else’s.
“Now, I’m not in a hurry to break through; I should first improve my source energy value as much as possible, ideally to the upper limit.”
“I just don’t know what my upper limit is?” Yuyin gazed out the window as night fell, gently brushing her hair.
In the last two weeks before the college entrance examination, everyone was pushing themselves, some attending classes during the day and studying at night, some exercising during the day and doing problems at night, and some cramming both day and night… Everyone was making their final sprint according to their own situations.
Of course, there were also those who gave up and stopped reviewing.
During these two weeks, Yuyin continued to participate in the underground martial arts competitions, but now her popularity had surged, and everyone regarded her as a trump card rather than a dark horse. The shock of Yuyin winning was no longer as great as before; she mainly relied on her beautiful moves and strategies to earn more Soul Charm points.
Although many martial artists had become familiar with her and respected her greatly, a competition was still a competition. Whether it was her or her opponents, they would take it seriously; otherwise, it would be an insult to those martial artists.
Yuyin’s cultural studies, physical training, and source energy breathing methods were all progressing in an orderly manner, focusing on the cultivation of source energy value. Of course, she also continued her dual cultivation with Ying Luo.
Two weeks later.
The day that would determine the fate of countless examinees across China had finally arrived.
The day before the college entrance examination, the students returned to school, sitting in the classroom, preparing to listen to the teacher announce the examination arrangements.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
After all, tomorrow was the decisive battle.
“Students, the college entrance examination officially begins tomorrow.”
The homeroom teacher, dressed in a bright pink qipao, which was quite unlike her usual style, seemed to want to bless the children she had taught for three years with this festive color.
“You all should know that the first part is the source energy assessment, which is the most critical exam for all candidates applying for source warrior programs. Only those who pass the source energy assessment will qualify for the subsequent physical tests and cultural subjects.”
As the female teacher spoke, the students exchanged glances, seemingly wanting to see if everyone was prepared.
“Of course, if you don’t pass, don’t be disheartened; you can still choose to apply to regular universities or opt for a repeat year. However, personally, I don’t recommend you to repeat… Youth is short; cherish every year.”
The female teacher looked at these students who had accompanied her for three years, some of whom had caused her trouble and annoyance, but at this moment, she felt a sense of reluctance. Regardless of the results of the college entrance examination starting tomorrow, she and her students would soon part ways.
The female teacher seemed to have a slight emotional fluctuation. She adjusted herself and said, “Now for the specific arrangements, everyone must pay attention.”
“Our source energy assessment location has been set. The source energy assessment is of great importance. Tomorrow morning at 5:30, remember, 5:30, everyone should gather in the school’s front square. The school will send buses to take you to the examination site. Don’t forget to bring your admission ticket. Don’t forget to bring it!” The teacher emphasized repeatedly.
“Teacher Xie, where is the admission ticket?” Xiao Huohuo raised her hand to ask.
“I will distribute it shortly; don’t worry.” The teacher replied.
“One thing to clarify, tomorrow we will be conducting assessments at the examination site together with three other high schools. Please pay attention to order and discipline. Also, be sure to follow the instructions of the supervising teachers and armed forces at the examination site. The college entrance examination is a major event in our country, and there can be no mistakes. The source energy assessment is basically impossible to cheat on, unless it’s impersonation. I believe everyone wouldn’t do such a thing. If impersonation is discovered during the source energy assessment, it is a criminal offense.”
The teacher repeatedly reminded everyone about various matters regarding the examination, then said, “I cannot enter the examination room, but tomorrow, I will be waiting at the door for your good news…”
As she spoke, Teacher Xie seemed to struggle to continue…
“The source warrior college entrance examination is finally about to begin?”
Yuyin looked out the window as night fell, the countdown banner for the college entrance examination had been replaced with “Wishing all third-year students a successful source warrior college entrance examination!”
Yuyin’s chest rose and fell slightly in the gentle night breeze, and she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Two months ago, she was dressed in fairy-like robes, sitting in the demon king’s bridal sedan chair, reborn in this magical city, knowing nothing and lacking any foundation.
And now, her source energy value had long exceeded 180, far surpassing the admission score of any academy.
For Yuyin, the college entrance examination was already well-prepared, and she was confident.
Tonight, she would go home and rest well.
Tomorrow would be the moment Yuyin first showcased her strength to this world!
