After hearing Ning Xin's remarks, Li Mu hadn't spoken yet. A young man standing in the row behind Ning Xin was unhappy and sneered: "Ha~ Little girl, you are not big in stature but you are very arrogant. You want to change the world? Don't even mention whether your weak body can pass the assessment. Even if you pass, you are only a third-class citizen, and above the third-class citizens there are second-class citizens and first-class citizens. Who can you change? Who can you influence? Moreover, privilege is a good thing. Once you have it, you will not think about changing it. After all, who would think about touching their own interests?"
Ning Xin immediately retorted upon hearing this: "You are not me, so how do you know what I think? And even if I can't change others, I just need to take care of myself. I should start by rejecting privileges!"
"Haha, what a joke! How is your statement different from those who say, 'I have 10 million and am willing to donate 9.99 million?' If you ask them to donate 900 yuan, they will keep quiet because they really have 900 yuan!" the young man laughed.
"You...you mean I can't pass the exam?" Ning Xin said angrily.
The young man spread his hands and said, "I didn't say that, but people's minds change. Just because you think this way now doesn't mean you will still think this way in the future."
Ning Xin was unconvinced and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"
The young man smiled contemptuously: "Me? My purpose has always been very pure, that is to make money! If I pass the assessment, I will make a lot of money. Everything else is fake, and the money in hand is real! I spent so much money to participate in the assessment, isn't it just to make money?"
"Brother, what you said is wrong. What does money mean in this world? If you become a third-class citizen, people will hand money to you without you even asking. You are still too narrow-minded!" another young man interrupted.
"A bunch of bumpkins! Do you really think you can pass the test? Are you fantasizing now?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you capable? Can you pass the test? Even if I can't pass the test, I still have sons and grandchildren in the future... My descendants will be endless, and there will always be someone who can pass the test and become a superior person!"
"Haha, is that how you comfort yourself? Let me ask you first, are there any upper-class people among your ancestors? If not, why do you think you or your descendants can become upper-class citizens?"
"Of course! According to my family tree, 38 generations ago, one of my ancestors was a third-class citizen!"
"Haha, it's already 38 generations old, what are you talking about? My 15th generation ancestors were second-class citizens!"
"Hiss~" The people around took a deep breath when they heard the words. 15th generation, and a second-class citizen, this is definitely a very good hope to pass the assessment, the probability can be at least 1%. No wonder this person is so arrogant, he is far better than them.
…………
Ning Xin was so angry when she heard their conversation, but she was alone and knew she couldn't win the argument. A sense of sadness arose in her heart. It would be fine if people were divided into different classes, but these people not only accepted it calmly and didn't want to change, but only made becoming the best of the best as their lifelong goal and even for generations to come. Is there any hope for this world?
Li Mu did not comment on this. This is a common problem in human nature and it is the same everywhere. Isn't it the same in the Qiongzu Universe? The six major forces control the resources of the entire high-dimensional universe. The pinnacle of cultivation for the bottom-level cultivators is the Immortal Ancestor of Creation. If they want to go further, they can only curry favor with the six major forces, just to get a chance to prove their truth.
Don't they want to resist? Of course they do, but the gap between them and the six major forces is too big. What can they use to resist? Gradually, their edges are smoothed out and they can only accept the rules set by the six major forces. If they cannot change, they can only try to integrate. Those who integrate in this way will inevitably cherish their hard-earned privileges more and will be less likely to actively think about changing. Not only that, they will also become the number one defenders of the vested interests to ensure that their hard-earned interests are not harmed.
Li Mu's Lingxiao Universe is only in the early stages now, and there are too many resources for proving the Dao to be used up. This is why the situation of the Qiongzu Universe has not occurred. If the resources for proving the Dao are used up later and the classes have been solidified, he himself cannot guarantee whether the Lingxiao Universe will follow in the footsteps of the Qiongzu Universe.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that as long as he is in the Lingxiao Universe, there will be no existence of the six major forces. At least in the future he will customize a relatively fair mechanism for proving the truth.
Just as Li Mu was thinking and everyone was making noise, a loud and majestic voice rang out from the stage in the middle of the field: "Silence! The assessment of the Jianyang City branch of Shengtian Academy begins now. The test of martial arts qualifications begins now! This assessment adheres to the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Don't play any tricks. Once cheating is discovered, Shengtian Academy will immediately deprive you of the qualification for the assessment, and your descendants will no longer have the opportunity to take the assessment!"
Everyone nodded slightly. Apart from anything else, the empire's assessment of martial arts aptitude was absolutely fair. No one dared to tamper with it. This was a matter of class. Besides, one would know what one's martial arts aptitude was like when they practiced martial arts in the future. Even if someone without martial arts qualifications entered Shengtian Academy through cheating, he would still not be able to practice martial arts. He would still be expelled from the ranks of third-class citizens. Not only would it be embarrassing, but the cheating would also be exposed, and by then more than one person would be unlucky.
After the host of the assessment announced various precautions, the aptitude test officially began. The martial arts school cultivates the physique and practices Qi, and the aptitude test first looks at the individual body's compatibility with "Qi". The higher the aptitude, the higher the compatibility, the more Qi the body can store, and the further one can go on the path of martial arts. Similarly, the worse the compatibility, the worse the aptitude. Some useless bodies are completely incompatible with Qi, just like those fifth-class citizens. Their bodies cannot accommodate a trace of Qi, and they are even actively rejected by Qi. These are completely useless bodies, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot embark on the path of martial arts.
This test measures the body's compatibility with Qi. The test method is also very simple. The test instrument will send a stream of Qi into the body of the person being tested. Through the detection of the instrument, it can detect the person's body's compatibility with Qi within ten seconds, and feedback is given to the five light bulbs above the instrument. The higher the qualification, the more light bulbs will light up and the brighter the brightness.
As the test began, the team in front of Li Mu moved forward slowly, and most of the people who had completed the test left sadly.
Some who had some talent in martial arts were retained and awaited further assessment.
It is not so easy for a fourth-class citizen to be promoted to the third-class. Only those with excellent martial arts qualifications can be directly admitted to Shengtian Academy and promoted to the third-class citizen. As for those with poor qualifications, in order to give people some hope, they need to go through the next physical assessment. Those with excellent physique can also enter Shengtian Academy to practice martial arts. If they can step into the ranks of warriors through hard work, they can also become third-class citizens.
Li Mu's heart was quite calm at this moment. It stood to reason and according to convention, as an outsider and a powerful cultivator, he had absolutely no talent for martial arts, which meant that his trip today was destined to be in vain. But for some reason, he felt that things were not that simple. He was the master of the higher-dimensional universe, so perhaps he was different from others?
