Chapter 292: Poor performance in the exam, invitation to the construction site

In the Tao Heart class.

The students in the foundation-building class were all sitting upright, looking at Feng Jiu on the stage.

Feng Jiu said calmly: "Will is the most intuitive expression of the heart of Tao. The content of your next exam is very simple, which is to burn yourself in flames."

As the students put on the spirit world masks, their consciousness instantly entered the spirit world.

Unlike Yan Hai who saw the projection of the spiritual world in reality, at this moment they felt that their spirits had truly entered the spiritual world.

The next moment, many students screamed as flames burned their bodies.

At the same time, Fengjiu, as an artifact spirit, has also arrived at the examination room in the spirit world, looking at the students who have turned into fire men.

The first person she paid attention to was Ji Yuanshu, who was the top student in the class.

He was the only student in the class who had reached the 12th level of Dao Heart. Even though he was being burned by fire, he remained calm, as if what was burning him was not fire but just a gust of hot wind.

Ji Yuanshu's eyes were calm, and he thought to himself, "I have to do this kind of spiritual training for more than two hours every day. What does this level mean to me now?"

The Fengjiu spirit observing Ji Yuanshu silently recorded: "Ji Yuanshu, your Dao Heart has extremely high potential, and you will be a contestant in the Spirit Realm Competition next year."

Then Fengjiu looked at Gongshu Jin, who ranked second in the class.

This student, whose Taoism heart was closest to level 12 in the class, frowned slightly at this moment, but was able to grit his teeth and endure the burning of the fire.

Gongshu Jin thought to himself: "After this exam, I have to invest more spirit coins in training in the spirit world."

"Go back and get a membership card to push yourself."

Feng Jiu on the other side recorded: "Gongshu Jin, the second best Dao Heart in the class, is tentatively selected as a contestant in the Spirit Realm Competition next year."

After observing a few more people, Feng Jiu saw Zhang Yu. She recorded: "Zhang Yu, it is suspected that because he established his foundation earlier, his mental method is at a higher level, and his Dao heart talent is not bad, he is still a step short of the spiritual world competition standard, so he is temporarily listed as a backup."

In the mana class.

Li Mingbo watched everyone inputting magic power into the detection devices in front of them, and his eyes mainly stayed on Ji Yuanshu and Gongshu Jin.

"From Ji Yuanshu's mana purchase records, he purchased large quantities of both high-quality and low-quality mana."

"It looks like it should be using high-quality mana to infuse the body and improve the quality of the mana."

"Low-quality mana is used to use the magic skeleton through the spiritual world network plug-in."

"He uses his own magic power for almost nothing except cultivation... It's really a luxury."

Although Li Mingbo felt emotional, he was more delighted.

After all, the other party purchased a large amount of mana on the Manabao platform, which allowed him to earn a lot of commissions.

"And Gongshu Jin is not bad either. I heard that he lives in the most luxurious upper quarters. Every day when he returns home, he replaces his magic body that is used for practicing magic power. No wonder his magic power practice improves by leaps and bounds, but he lags behind Ji Yuanshu."

"Well, Li Xiao's progress has improved again. It's a pity that students from the first level may not have enough stamina."

Li Mingbo glanced at Zhang Yu again and thought, "This Zhang Yu is the same. If he can continue to maintain this performance, it shouldn't be a problem for him to break into the top 100 of the civil engineering foundation building class in a few years."

“But the hard part is maintaining it.”

The top 100 students in the Civil Engineering Department include all the foundation-building students in all grades of the Department. In Li Mingbo's opinion, if the first-level students want to reach this level, they can only do so by accumulating experience over the years when they are in the senior grades.

In the examination room of the physical training class.

Lang Yougong looked at the students and said, "The strength of the body cannot be determined by the numbers alone."

"After all, the body's tolerance for drugs, your control over your body, as well as your reactions, agility, and skills... these can only be truly demonstrated through specific practice."

"The three-month basic course has ended. Today is the day to test your achievements over the past three months..."

While Lang Yougong was talking, Zhang Yu looked at the students around him and thought to himself, "If we want to hide the data, it's easy to do it with the anti-detection ritual."

"How should I perform in the next test?"

"It's impossible that the actual performance far exceeds the data, right? That would be too eye-catching."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at Li Xiao: "This guy seems to be ranked one place lower than me."

"Then all I have to do is perform better than him, right?"

In the strength test, soon after Li Xiao shouted loudly and held up the dynamometer with all his strength, he saw Zhang Yu also shouted loudly and held up a weight slightly heavier than him.

In the agility test, when Li Xiao tried his best to dodge the increasingly fast balls and lasted for one minute, he saw Zhang Yu not far away who lasted 3 seconds longer than him.

Before the final speed test, Li Xiao took the package from the delivery man and thought to himself, "Zhang Yu... he really does regard me as his biggest competitor."

He could feel that in the last two tests, Zhang Yu had been paying attention to him from time to time, and every time soon after he confirmed that he had surpassed him, the other party would often reach his limit.

"Obviously my threat stimulated and inspired him, allowing him to perform better."

"Maybe... in order to defeat me, he took some poisonous drugs that would damage his body."

"But the same thing, Zhang Yu, the same thing... you also inspired me a lot."

After taking the newly bought powerful medicine, Li Xiao felt his body gradually getting hotter and hotter. He thought to himself, "Even if I have to stop practicing for a few days, I will definitely beat you in the next round!"

On the speed test field, Li Xiao shot out like lightning, accompanied by the sound of air exploding, and rushed forward like a flash of lightning... following closely behind Zhang Yu.

His heart seemed to beat faster and faster like a drum, and his limbs swung rapidly, pushing him forward continuously.

But as Li Xiao continued to accelerate, Zhang Yu also accelerated, so that no matter how hard Li Xiao tried, he was unable to overtake the other.

Looking at Zhang Yu's back, Li Xiao felt as if he was looking at the gate of a construction site. He could clearly step in with just one step, but he was always just a little bit short.

"Damn it... Why! Is it so difficult for me to get into the construction site?"

Zhang Yu controlled his speed all the way and reached the finish line ahead of Li Xiao. He thought, "This should be all right."

Feeling Li Xiao's angry gaze, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm only one place ahead of you, there's no need to be so angry, right?"

But the next moment, as the test scores emerged, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Ah? I ranked fifth in the physical test?"

Zhang Yu frowned and looked at Li Xiao, thinking: "This kid... is he hiding his strength? I should have known not to choose him to suppress him."

"But fortunately, my physical performance was not bad before, so it is reasonable for me to perform a little bit beyond my normal level this time, right?"

Lang Yougong looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and smiled, "Keep working hard. If you continue to practice at this rate, you should be able to participate in the civil engineering competition next year."

On the other side, several upper-class people were watching the competition between Li Xiao and Zhang Yu.

Someone sighed and said, "Are they secretly competing with each other? They can stimulate and encourage each other."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Some people were also surprised and asked, "They are ranked so high in the physical test?"

Ying Xin smiled and said, "If you want to maintain this result, Li Xiao may not have enough money. Let's see who of these two first-level people runs out of money first."

"After all, some people are not used to college life and spend money lavishly. They make rapid progress in the early stage, but fall into decline in the later stage... There are many such examples."

It turned out that Ying Xin had long seen that Li Xiao had been borrowing money to practice with them, and she had always felt like she was watching a joke, just waiting to see when Li Xiao would be unable to pay back his debts.

Seeing Li Xiao coming over in a daze, Ying Xin smiled and said, "Old Li, now that the exam is over, let's go to the practice room to practice together."

Li Xiao nodded with difficulty, forced a smile and said, "Okay."

On the professional course examination.

Courses such as engineering formation drawing, martial arts power studies, construction technology, etc. have both written tests and martial arts examinations.

Zhang Yu had already learned skills such as the Digging Palm, Crane Claw, Sports Car Kick, and Elevator Jump, and had practiced them all to level 10.

However, Zhang Yu simply had no time to practice some professional skills of the civil engineering department, such as concentrating qi, lifting power, and walking fast on the back of a mountain. He just used classroom practice to barely get started.

After all, most of his time and energy were spent on the related skills of the Holy Body of Civil Engineering.

But in three months, the teachers did not expect the students to be able to master these professional skills to any extent, so Zhang Yu's performance was not very eye-catching.

Gongshu Jin looked at Zhang Yu's performance and thought to himself, "My friend's martial arts aptitude is really not good. However, in terms of basic data, although the growth rate can't keep up with me, it can still be considered excellent."

"I'm afraid a lot of resources have been spent."

By that evening, all the test scores had been calculated.

No. 6, Zhang Yu, with a total score of 688. No. 7, Li Xiao, with a total score of 682. Looking at the final ranking after three months, Li Xiao felt a little confused.

Just when he thought that the opportunity at the construction site had been snatched away by Zhang Yu, a call from Tulishan brought him back to life.

"Li Xiao, not every student can go to the construction site right after school starts. This is the only opportunity for one person, and I specially fought for it for an outstanding student."

"Hey, I know you've been working really hard during this period, and I really admire you."

"Your grades are a little worse than Zhang Yu's, but I'm optimistic about you. The first time I saw you, I knew you were from the construction site."

"How about this, from now on, you can deposit 20% of the money you earn every month on the construction site into my account, and I will help you smooth things over and make sure you can get in."

In the dormitory.

Zhang Yu showed off his 6th place ranking and asked Zhang Pianpian, "Sister, I didn't perform well. Is 6th place a bit too high-profile this time?"

Zhang Pianpian said helplessly: "A little bit, but it's okay. Why did you perform so poorly in this exam?"

Zhang Yu said helplessly: "Alas, I am unlucky. I chose the wrong reference object."

"The Li Xiao I chose probably hides his strength."

"He may have chosen me as a reference target and wanted to follow me."

"But I chose him as a reference target, and I wanted to run ahead of him."

"As a result, one of us chased and the other ran, and before we knew it, we had moved up the rankings."

Zhang Yu sighed: "The top ten are indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I am not the only one with outstanding talent."

Zhang Pianpian nodded slightly upon hearing this: "There is nothing we can do about this. Fortunately, sixth place is not too eye-catching. You should keep this rank for the time being and don't easily improve your ranking."

Just then, as the dormitory door opened, Yu Xinghan, ranked 11th in the class, walked in with a proud look on his face.

Yu Xinghan asked, "Zhang Yu, did Teacher Tu tell you about the construction site?"

Zhang Yu nodded: "Let me report in a few days."

Yu Xinghan: "Did he tell you about the money transfer?"
