Gu Anlei ignored him and continued, "Every freshman receives a black iron school badge, but that doesn't mean it will always be a black iron badge. Whether it's the freshman assessment or various competitions in the future, we can upgrade our school badges, which is similar to the core level. Black iron leads to mithril, radiant gold, and crystal diamond. I've even heard that Huasheng Academy has saint-level disciples, which are even higher than crystal diamond disciples!"
"Saint level? Could it be related to a saint?" Jiang Yuan squinted.
"I don't know, but if you try your best, you might become the next disciple of a sage!" Gu Anlei said.
"No interest. If the saint were a woman, I might consider becoming her husband!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, making a nonsensical statement.
"Shh!"
Gu Anlei quickly covered Jiang Yuan's mouth with her hand, cursing inwardly, "Are you out of your mind? Criticizing a saint here like this might get you struck by lightning!"
“That’s right, we need to find some lightning to strike us, otherwise what if we lose control of our strength and go berserk during the assessment?” Jiang Yuan said very seriously.
Gu Anlei was used to his rambling conversation and said earnestly, "Anyway, this class placement assessment is very important. As long as we perform well in the assessment, we will not only have a higher status after graduation, but we will also be able to learn more useful knowledge at school."
"What were the assessments like in previous years?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Gu Anlei had clearly done her homework. She opened her smart device, pulled up a picture, and analyzed, "The assessment changes every year, but most of them are similar. Usually, there's a free-for-all first, eliminating 90% of the participants, then the group stage begins, and finally, the five academies each select their own participants!"
"I understand now!"
Jiang Yuan spoke casually, but his eyes were glancing around everywhere.
"What are you doing? You seem distracted." Gu Anlei asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yuan leaned out the window and looked outside. When he saw the high-voltage power grid, he smiled.
"What are you trying to do? The assessment is coming up soon, don't run around!" Gu Anlei had a bad feeling that this guy was going to cause trouble again.
Jiang Yuan climbed out the window, leaving behind the words, "You go first, I'll be right there!"
"Jiang Yuan! You're not dressed yet..."
Gu Anlei was about to go out and chase after him, but he slipped away faster than a bird, and she didn't even see his back.
"Where's the school uniform...?"
Looking at the empty room, Gu Anlei felt inexplicably frustrated. She wanted to repay Jiang Yuan's kindness, but it seemed that Jiang Yuan never needed to.
...
"What a pig-brain I am! Why didn't I use the readily available technology instead of running to the top of the mountain to wait for lightning to strike me down!"
Jiang Yuan squatted on the scaffold like a bird. Just standing on it, small sparks kept popping out of his body, making a constant crackling sound.
He couldn't find lightning like that on the top of Tianshan Mountain in a short time, and lightning in ordinary places wouldn't have much effect. After all, a bolt of lightning only has a large amount of energy for a moment, which, if converted, would only amount to a few hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity. It's nothing compared to standing on this electric grid and enjoying it.
"I am, after all, a great contributor to the human race. Today, this power grid shall serve me!"
Jiang Yuan activated Thunder Control, then reached out and grabbed one of the wires, and instantly a surge of electricity flowed through his body.
Everything changed drastically after the Apocalypse Era. Energy consumption increased, requiring more resources. Even ordinary power grids underwent reforms, adopting more advanced technologies to allow electricity to flow freely within safe zones. Therefore, when Jiang Yuan came into contact with it, it was no less than a full-force attack from a True Spirit Realm expert.
A crackling sound echoed high in the sky, and a faint smell of burning emanated from Jiang Yuan's body, but Jiang Yuan became more and more excited as the lightning struck, and the lightning seed within his body grew at a visible speed.
However, while he was enjoying himself here, he was causing a lot of trouble for the people working on the power grid, because he was constantly absorbing electrical energy, which directly led to a power outage in a large area. Although many people started using psionic energy after the Apocalypse Era, electricity, as the main energy source, is still indispensable.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
The people of Huasheng Academy were the first to be affected.
"Why is there a power outage?! Doesn't our Huasheng College have direct power supply? Is the power plant closed today?"
"I don't know, but today is the freshman assessment, so there shouldn't be such a serious oversight over there!"
Along the way, you could see groups of students discussing the massive power outage, unaware that the culprit was still perched on the overhead power poles, greedily absorbing electricity.
The lightning seed within Jiang Yuan's body once again became vibrant, and his offensive potential also entered the third stage. However, after reaching the third stage, his offensive potential entered a period of stagnation.
"It seems that if I want to reach a higher level of offensive potential, I still need to find a cultivation technique!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
"Hey kid, were you the one sabotaging the power grid?"
With a sharp shout, Jiang Yuan glanced down, then his lips twitched. The real culprit had come knocking.
"Which year of Huasheng Academy are you from, to be so audacious!" The power grid director pointed at Jiang Yuan and cursed. This guy single-handedly paralyzed the power supply to most of Huasheng Academy, how could he not be furious?
"You don't recognize me?" Jiang Yuan chuckled upon hearing this. "That's perfect, bring them all on!"
He frantically drained the entire Huasheng Academy's power, ignoring the old men below shouting at the top of their lungs.
"The sixth freshman assessment of Huasheng Academy has officially begun. All candidates, please proceed to the Han River!"
Suddenly, a resounding voice rang in his ears, and Jiang Yuan looked up in the direction from which the voice came.
"The assessment has begun, so let's call it a day! I hope nothing goes wrong during the assessment!"
Jiang Yuan unfurled his lightning-fast black holy demon wings and flew towards the assessment site.
