......
noon.
Chen Yi then searched for spiritual food in various canteens...
Because the afternoon exam is a practical test.
The practical exam accounts for a very high percentage of the score; the combined scores for beast driving and talisman skills are not as high as those for a single practical exam.
After all, there is so much to see in actual combat; one can judge cultivation level, Dao heart, body tempering, and techniques from it.
Those wealthy students spend extra time practicing movement techniques in order to gain an advantage in actual combat exams.
Although the practical exam is mainly judged based on three dimensions: cultivation level, body tempering, and spellcasting, since it is a real battle, the importance of movement technique is self-evident...
Poor students who lack the time, money, and energy to practice their movement techniques often suffer in actual combat, and may even be whipped around like a top.
To prepare for the upcoming practical exam, Chen Yi plans to spend 2,000 yuan to buy a portion of spirit beast meat.
Time is of the essence, and it is difficult to make great progress in cultivation and magic, but body tempering is different. As long as there is a supply of spiritual food, the effects can be seen.
Even though the body-refining technique has been mastered, the rate of improvement is still astonishing.
The auntie selling spirit beast meat in the cafeteria saw Chen Yi, paused for a moment, and asked, "Young man, have you finished digesting both servings of spirit herb soup from yesterday?"
Chen Yi nodded.
With the "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Method," even the largest amount of Qi and Blood can be burned.
"In matters of cultivation, one must not be greedy for quick results or rush ahead." At this moment, a rough voice came from behind.
Chen Yi turned around and looked at the reflective top of his head. "Old Liu, uh, Teacher Liu?"
Liu Qing stared at Chen Yi and said, "With your cultivation level, two meals of spiritual food a week are normal. If you want to speed up digestion, you might as well..."
"Stop! I won't buy your body-strengthening potion!" Chen Yi said sternly.
Liu Qing's expression immediately turned awkward. He cursed inwardly: This brat is really stubborn!
Alright! I'd like to see how you perform in the practical exam this afternoon!
This little incident was quickly forgotten...
Chen Yi eventually managed to buy the spirit beast meat.
Looking at the piece of meat, which was only the size of a die, he sighed softly.
It is said that this is tenderloin from Red Iron Bull, cut into pieces one centimeter in length, width and height, and each piece can sell for 1998 yuan.
He admired the beef cubes with their bright red marbling for a few seconds before finally swallowing them.
In an instant, a terrifying surge of energy and blood was generated within his body.
Chen Yi quickly went to the vicinity of the canteen and found a secluded place to practice his body-strengthening techniques.
Sun Yu and Hou Xiangheng appeared not far away.
"Holy crap! Chen Yi is too arrogant!" Hou Xiangheng exclaimed.
Sun Yu murmured, "To have to cultivate in such a short time, if it were me, I would rather take a short rest."
Hou Xiangheng boasted, "That's the difference between you and a god!"
"Old Hou, don't forget, we were sent by the boss to spy on Chen Yi. You're not a mole, are you?" Sun Yu looked at Hou Xiangheng.
Hou Xiangheng quickly waved his hand in defense: "No way! Chen Yi is truly a god! Think back to what he's done these past few days, and you'll see how amazing he is!"
Sun Yu looked thoughtful and couldn't refute it.
"By the way, which option did you bet on when I set up that betting platform?"
Hou Xiangheng blinked: "Of course I'll follow Boss Zhao."
Sun Yu stared at Hou Xiangheng with a suspicious look: "But why does the first person who voted for Chen Yi to get into the top ten look a bit like your forum account?"
Hou Xiangheng forced a smile and said, "Huh? You...you must have seen wrong?"
Sun Yu frankly said, "Hey! We're all brothers here, there are no outsiders, stop pretending. As the person who set up the betting game, I can see the bettors' accounts. The first person to bet on Chen Yi to be in the top ten was definitely you. Cough cough! Actually... I also bet on the third option in the end."
"Great! Sun Yu!" Hou Xiangheng immediately pointed at Sun Yu, "It made Boss Zhao suspect me the day before yesterday."
"What does he suspect you of?" Sun Yu asked curiously.
Hou Xiangheng cleared his throat and, mimicking Zhao Manjin's tone, pointed at Sun Yu and demanded sharply:
"You don't even know you're keeping a ghost in your house? You don't even know you're keeping a ghost!"
Hou Xiangheng paced back and forth, his face dark, and said aggressively:
"Is the problem with you? How do you explain that to me?"
Sun Yu was startled by Hou Xiangheng's realistic acting skills. He instinctively shrank back and swallowed hard. "Then what do you say?"
"What can I say? Who dares to talk back to him? I'll just swear it wasn't me, and then I'll throw the blame on you!" Hou Xiangheng shrugged.
"Your mother!" Sun Yu cursed loudly, then lunged at the other person, and the two began to fight.
"......"
After 12:30, the students gathered at the training ground.
Within this vast building, there are hundreds of open-air and indoor training grounds.
In the dim and dilapidated environment, one can occasionally see forgotten items such as needles, broken blades, and broken talismans in the corners. The cracks, bloodstains, and glass shards on the walls are all traces of the efforts made by everyone in their cultivation of immortality.
"Class Nine! Is everyone from Class Nine here?" Liu Qing's loud voice reached everyone's ears.
Beside him stood Remu, the spellcasting teacher.
The two of them will be responsible for supervising the practical exam of Class 9.
"Teacher, we're still missing Chen Yi." Zhao Manjin confirmed the number of people.
Liu Qing grumbled, "What kind of trouble has Chen Yi gotten himself into this time? I just saw him buying spirit beast meat in the cafeteria. Could he have gotten a stomachache from eating frozen spirit beast meat?"
Although the spirit beast meat in the cafeteria costs 2,000 yuan per piece, it's not freshly slaughtered; it's frozen zombie meat, and it's been stored for even longer than the students' lives...
In Principal Ma's words, this is the latest quick-freezing technique, which ensures that the nutrients in both meat and vegetables will not be lost, whether it takes three or five years.
But according to Liu Qing, many people have suffered stomach bleeding from eating it over the years...
Upon hearing this, Zhao Manjin was secretly delighted.
It's only been half an hour since lunch. Can you digest frozen spirit beast meat?
Don't overdo it, or you'll bleed from all seven orifices!
It seems Chen Yi lacks confidence in the practical exam; otherwise, no normal person would eat spirit beast meat before an exam!
What's the difference between this and someone who gets carsick eating until they're stuffed before getting on the vehicle?
"Hey! Never mind him for now." Liu Qing waved his hand. "Let me tell you first that this exam will be entirely in the form of puppets fighting against living people."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.
They had all heard that a certain company in Chilong had recently made a major breakthrough in biological puppet technology.
"Is it the Puppet Cultivation Technology Company? I know, it's a company under the Demon Puppet Sect. My family has a lot of business dealings with this company," Zhao Manjin introduced confidently.
After lunch, he seemed to have convinced himself that it was nothing to be inferior to Chen Yi in the beast-taming exam, since even Manli was inferior to Chen Yi, so what else was there?
As long as you get good results in the practical exam, beast-taming is nothing!
Even though he wasn't as good as Chen Yi in the talisman exam that night, the score difference wouldn't be too big. But the practical exam was different; if you were just one realm apart, the score would be significantly different.
He was at least a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, while Chen Yi was only a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. This difference gave him the confidence to crush Chen Yi under his feet!
"Brother Zhao, tell us about that new puppet technology. What's so amazing about it?" Hou Xiangheng asked at the right moment.
"That's right! As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Maybe this will help us achieve even better results!" Sun Yu quickly chimed in.
Their words successfully piqued the curiosity of everyone in Class 9, and they all turned to look at Zhao Manjin...
