NOVEL NEXT C9
Chapter Nine: A Book
“Current source energy value 61…62…63…”
As the text continued to change, during this first wave of absorption, Yuyin’s source energy value kept increasing. Meanwhile, her body, without her realizing it, leaned against the wall, rising and falling continuously. With each increase, a wave of unprecedented comfort and pleasure surged from all parts of her body.
Increasing the source energy value was simply too pleasurable.
Of course, this was not something difficult to speak of; it was healthy, like sunshine and rain, a joy stemming from the essence of life.
Yes, every part of Yuyin’s body was rejoicing at this moment!
Because she felt more vibrant, her energy more abundant, and her spirit more full.
The source energy value continued to rise until it reached 65 before stopping, but the numbers began to fluctuate more slowly as it progressed.
“Ha…ha…”
Yuyin breathed heavily, feeling as if even breathing was refreshing, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
Although her physical foundation had always been good, she had never experienced such a level of health and comfort.
However, how this source energy value increased, and what specific effects it had on her after the increase, Yuyin was unclear; she could only say she had some vague perceptions. It was like how people grow taller between the ages of 18 and 24, but they don’t really know how they grew.
In the space of the God-Eating Chess, Yuyin looked at those ugly little ghosts, only four of which remained, and most were injured.
“These little ghosts killed the mountain demon and can actually help me cultivate?”
At this time, the patrolling little ghosts continued to delve deeper into the forest, seemingly unconcerned about their casualties and injuries.
“Well, that ancient will said they are just pawns.”
“So if they kill more monsters, will it bring me more source spirits? If I recruit more pawns, is that the purpose of the God-Eating Chess?” Yuyin was quite amazed; if this were true, then the God-Eating Chess was extraordinary.
Doesn’t that mean she wouldn’t have to do anything and could still cultivate by just lying down?
Yuyin shook her head slightly; even if that were the case, she wouldn’t give up on her own cultivation. After all, if she could cultivate alongside the God-Eating Chess, wouldn’t that be more efficient? Moreover, Yuyin felt that many things still needed to be in her own hands; she might not have to do everything herself, but she must understand the fundamentals.
Seeing that the little ghosts and white apes had no new discoveries for the time being, Yuyin’s consciousness fully returned to the outside world.
Source energy value; she remembered that last night, Ying Luo had asked her about her source energy value as soon as they met, and afterward, she had searched online. However, the information about cultivation, source energy values, and source warriors online was quite chaotic. Most of the top results felt like scams, and there was very little truly valuable content. Yuyin estimated that the national powers in this world must strictly control the real secrets of cultivation.
But one thing Yuyin could basically confirm was that the source energy value was key to cultivating as a source warrior and also crucial for the source warrior college entrance examination.
“65, I wonder if that’s high or low compared to other students. After all, many of them have been attending various cultivation interest classes since childhood. Is there still a gap to the college entrance examination standard?” Yuyin thought.
However, Yuyin felt that even if most students had a higher source energy value than her, it probably wouldn’t be by much. Since the source energy value was key to cultivation, it certainly wasn’t easy to increase, and she hadn’t seen her classmates being able to fly or dive into the earth; most boys just had a slightly higher average athletic standard than in the previous world.
When she returned to the playground, physical education class had just ended.
Zhang Biaoyang was not there; he probably went somewhere to adjust his emotions.
She encountered Ying Luo and a short-haired girl from the athletics department, named Xu Weiwei.
The three girls walked along the sun-dappled tree-lined path in the campus, and Yuyin felt as if the aura she exuded blended into the lush fragrance of the flowers and grass. Naturally, Yuyin walked in the middle, while Xu Weiwei, dressed in a tank top and shorts, occasionally glanced over at Yuyin, unable to ignore the eye-catching height of Yuyin’s figure. She looked down at her own empty tank top and couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
“By the way, Ying Luo, what’s your current source energy value?” Yuyin asked in a very casual tone.
“For me…” Ying Luo gently touched her cheek and said, “Last time I measured with the Ximenzi full-body instrument, it was 59.”
“I have 63! Ying Luo, you need to work hard; there are only a few days left until the college entrance examination. You should ask your dad to get you some supplements,” Xu Weiwei said, bouncing a little with a hint of pride.
“Cut it out… everyone’s situation is different. According to statistics, last year, the average source energy value for senior girls was 55,” Ying Luo’s glasses glinted with a cold light.
63…59…
Yuyin thought that before absorbing the source spirit from the God-Eating Chess, her value was probably between 55 and 59, just slightly above the average for girls.
“Then what’s the average for boys?” Yuyin asked.
“In a comprehensive city like Lingdu, the average for boys is around 59-60,” Ying Luo answered almost immediately, without needing to check any data.
Wasn’t it said that there was no difference in source warrior cultivation between girls and boys?
“However, the admission score for girls is also lower than that for boys,” Xu Weiwei added.
“Then last year, what was the admission line for source warrior colleges?” Yuyin asked. She initially wanted to ask about this year, but then thought that, like the college entrance examination, the score line should only be determined after the students’ results were out.
“Last year, the minimum admission score for second-tier source warrior colleges was 75 for boys and 69 for girls,” Ying Luo said.
Upon hearing this, Yuyin felt a bit reassured; it seemed that, barring any accidents, she would have no problem getting into a second-tier source warrior academy.
“What about the first-tier?” Yuyin asked. As a reborn person who had just awakened the mysterious space of the God-Eating Chess, how could she be content with only getting into a second-tier?
Xu Weiwei said, “I remember last year for first-tier, it was… over 90 for boys and 89 for girls.”
Yuyin looked at her in surprise; she spoke so casually about such a score line, as if discussing how fast a certain boy could run in a hundred meters was of no concern to her.
“Why is there such a big difference?” Yuyin asked in astonishment, her chest involuntarily rising and falling more noticeably.
“President, don’t be fooled by how everyone in our school trains vigorously every day; most are just aiming for a second-tier or military school,” Xu Weiwei said. “First-tier, that’s only for true geniuses, martial overlords, and those mysterious scions. For example, Senior Wang…”
For some reason, this boyish girl, Xu Weiwei, seemed to say the last part about Senior Wang with a hint of shyness. Yuyin, being naturally sensitive, could easily pick up on it.
“President, second-tier is a large-scale recruitment by Huaxia to popularize source warrior cultivation and improve the overall quality of the Chinese people. Although the conditions are strict, ordinary people still have hope of getting in after hard training. First-tier, that’s truly another level,” Ying Luo said.
“So, does that mean the number of people admitted to first-tier is much less than that of second-tier?” Yuyin asked.
“Yes, in our school this year, there are over three hundred students, and only about ten or so are expected to get into first-tier. Don’t get me wrong, that Zhang Biaoyang, although disgusting, is also one of them,” Xu Weiwei said, walking backward with her hands behind her back while looking at Yuyin.
Zhang Biaoyang? Yuyin frowned slightly.
“But don’t worry, President; that guy has consumed so many resources from his family, and with just this little achievement, there’s absolutely no way he can score 289!” Xu Weiwei said.
“289?” Yuyin couldn’t help but show a look of confusion.
“President, you can’t be serious; you don’t even know about 289?” Xu Weiwei looked at Yuyin in disbelief.
“What are you talking about?” Ying Luo raised her glasses slightly. “President, are you trying to test us?”
“Oh~ I see now,” Xu Weiwei replied earnestly. “289 refers to the top source warrior academies in the country, including the Tian Du Source Warrior Academy at the peak of Huaxia, Ling Du Academy, and the eight major source warrior academies and nine major sects nationwide.”
“Nine major sects?” Yuyin had a rough idea but wondered what the sects were. Did they also participate in college entrance admissions?
