[Bedroom Arts lv.0 - Proficiency 66/100]
He read some of the array formation books that Wu Lingyao gave him, and his proficiency in array formations improved.
Currently, the skill closest to being upgraded is .
In addition, we need to find a way to speed up the progress of .
After all, the "Bone Forging Technique" made his body heavy; if his agility didn't improve, he could easily become a punching bag for those with superior agility...
The biggest gain of the day was those two bowls of medicinal soup.
With these, both body-refining methods were mastered.
Now, even against a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he is confident that he will not be at a disadvantage.
The biggest thing tomorrow will probably be the monthly exam...
Chen Yi suddenly realized that if it were a monthly exam, how should the schedule system be adjusted?
After all, he had been undergoing assessments all day, so he couldn't continue his cultivation according to the original schedule.
"Buzz!"
The next second, a semi-transparent interface came into view.
[Given that tomorrow is the monthly exam at Xiande Middle School, a special plan will be implemented.]
[Goal: To achieve a score in the top ten of the grade in the monthly exam.]
[Reward: Randomly select one spellbook (including palm techniques, finger techniques, fist techniques, spear techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques, and Five Elements spells).]
Chen Yi suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Fortunately, the techniques he possessed were too few, and there weren't many suitable ones in the library.
The rewards from the system should all be good stuff!
We must take them down decisively!
[Warning: It's time for washing up and going to bed. Please do so immediately!]
[Thunder Tribulation Countdown, Three...]
A few minutes later, Chen Yi pulled the blanket over himself and fell into a deep sleep.
......
Two and a half hours flew by.
The mechanical sound echoed in someone's mind.
[Warning! Your sleep time has ended. Please get up immediately!]
Chen Yi sprang out of bed, washed up, changed his clothes, and went out in a series of smooth movements.
Although today is the day of the monthly exam, it will be after six o'clock.
It's only 2:40 a.m.
The physical training from 2:40 to 4:30 and the self-study of formations from 4:30 to 5:30 will proceed as planned; there's no way to avoid it...
"That kid!"
The gatekeeper stared at the figure climbing over the wall in the darkness and couldn't help but shake his head.
"They're really making a fuss! They've been going on for days, and they still haven't stopped..."
Chen Yi walked alone on campus.
Only flowers, trees, dew, and mist accompany it; Xiande Middle School doesn't even have many streetlights.
The principal claimed it was to reduce students' dependence on external things.
They can learn fireball techniques to provide illumination and hone their eyesight, thereby gaining the ability to move in the dark.
Even if one day you accidentally find yourself in complete darkness, you won't be completely helpless...
In the darkness, Chen Yi's eyes seemed to gleam with firelight.
That was the pure Yang energy acting on his eyes, allowing him to see the evil spirits in the darkness.
This is an application of pure Yang power that he learned after he had reached a high level of mastery.
"It's a pity that there are no movement technique manuals in the library. I'm afraid I'll have to spend my own money to buy them outside."
After all, movement techniques were not among the subjects tested in the Immortal Examination, so the school naturally didn't bother collecting manuals on this subject.
Many students can't even master the few skills they already have; if they were to add movement techniques to the mix, they would probably be even more overwhelmed.
However, for those with lofty ambitions or wealthy families, body techniques are essential to learn.
From 2:40 to 4:30, nearly two hours of physical training resulted in a mere 2-point increase in proficiency.
Movement Technique lv.0 - Proficiency 34/100 (+2)
[Warning! The period has begun. Please proceed immediately!]
Chen Yi took out the book on formations that he had been carrying with him all along.
Suddenly, he wondered what would happen if he practiced movement techniques while simultaneously learning formations on his own.
This was not a sudden whim.
Previously, he had tried practicing the "Rock-Solid Bone-Forging Technique" in a quiet room while exhaling and breathing exercises.
It turns out that it really is possible to increase proficiency in both "techniques" and "body training" simultaneously.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi did not look for an empty classroom, but continued to practice his movements along the campus.
He maintained an erratic trajectory and chaotic steps while holding the book on formations and reading it.
But he soon discovered the problem.
A calm and focused mind allows one to concentrate on one thing at a time.
"Could it be that the keyword strength is insufficient? Or is it that I am unable to truly multitask?"
He frowned slightly.
Previously, I could practice the Bone Forging Technique while simultaneously circulating my internal energy without any problems, simply because the two had something in common.
The cultivation of the Bone Forging Technique inherently requires earth-elemental spiritual energy. Under the earth-elemental energy gathering array, while he was circulating his internal energy to improve his cultivation, he could conveniently accomplish this task as well, as it was not difficult.
However, practicing movement techniques while simultaneously studying formations is not so simple.
Once he became engrossed in the book, his steps became disordered, and he achieved no results in cultivation.
However, once you focus your attention on movement techniques, your efficiency in learning formations will slow down significantly, as if you've instantly plummeted from a top student to a struggling one, and those formation diagrams suddenly become overwhelming...
"This could be a direction to try in the future, but it's probably not possible to do it right now."
At least for now, he cannot divide the concept of "calmness of mind" into two completely different things.
But that doesn't mean it won't work in the future...
Temporarily abandoning that idea, Chen Yi continued walking while studying the book on formations.
Now, those obscure and difficult-to-understand geometric diagrams of formations and directional calculations become easier to comprehend.
It seems that simply walking, which doesn't require much brainpower, won't affect the efficiency of learning formations.
[Warning: It's 5:30-6:00 AM, the "Breakfast Nourishment" time!]
Chen Yi walked to the entrance of the canteen while looking down at the book on formations.
The first test later will be on animal control.
Eat breakfast as early as possible, otherwise going to the animal farm right after a full meal can easily make you nauseous...
There was no spiritual food available in the canteen in the morning, so Chen Yi could only eat something simple to replenish his energy.
Then they headed straight for the animal farm.
"Bah!"
Within the numerous enormous "cages," various monsters occasionally made noises.
Some are pounding against their cages, some are rubbing their hands together in anticipation, and some are silently licking their own wounds...
They sensed the presence of many students and felt excited.
A few minutes later, Qin Guan led the Class 9 students to a familiar place.
Qin Guan scanned the crowd and said, "Our class has been assigned to the Crimson Flame Sparrow examination room for this monthly exam."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, the students of Class 9 widened their eyes in surprise.
This animal farm houses dozens of demonic beasts, among which the Crimson Flame Sparrow is definitely one of the most powerful.
How come we had to run into such a good thing?
"Don't panic, everyone. We've all practiced with the Crimson Flame Sparrow a lot these past few days, so we should all be a bit familiar with it. Besides, we're not the only class that drew the Crimson Flame Sparrow."
Qin Guan looked to the other side and saw that two more classes of people had also arrived at the iron cage where the Crimson Flame Sparrow was imprisoned.
The three animal control instructors nodded in greeting.
"The Crimson Flame Sparrow is difficult, but it also has more scoring points, making it easier to get a high score," Qin Guan continued.
"But the failure rate must be high, right?"
Some people were quietly complaining.
However, this does not change the existing reality.
Qin Guan reassured everyone, saying, "Alright, the difficulty now is so that you can remain calm no matter what difficulties you encounter during the Immortal Examination!"
"Next, our three classes will take turns sending people according to the list."
Qin Guan looked at the other two classes.
"Teacher Qin, your class can go first! Class 8 will go second."
"We'll be third in Class 10."
The three teachers quickly determined their respective order of appearance.
That is, Class 9 sends people first, then Class 8, then Class 10, and so on, until all three classes have finished the exam.
Qin Guan's glasses frame reflected a glimmer of light, but he smiled without saying a word.
It's easy to guess that this was something the teachers of Class 8 and Class 10 had planned in advance...
