Chapter 243: One Strike, Instant Victory

answered Ripple's question. Though the boy before him looked underage, those violet eyes reminded Mark of the famed Rodman family from the Western Continent. Therefore, he answered with great care.A...The system decided to act immediately. After absorbing enough energy, it focused its attention on the "Chosen One" of this realm and quickly set its sights on Wu Lianbo. To associate with those excellent individuals, Wu Lianbo himself needed to be sufficiently powerful and outstanding. He also had to expend some energy to enhance himself.

Wu Lianbo as wished, achieved excellent results in the admission test, showing his true colors and becoming an outstanding new student of this year. Wu Yishan, who watched the whole process from outside, also had a smile on his face. The unpleasantness at the entrance of the academy was long forgotten by him.

The teachers who were conducting tests on site had just finished their day's recruitment tasks when they received a video call from other teachers. They said there was a genius student who bypassed their testing stage and went straight to challenge an advanced placement test, and it was the son of General Wu, who had previously been deemed unfit for service.

Seeing these words, the teachers in the room exchanged glances, all revealing a hint of anticipation. Their eyes subtly swept across Wu Lianbo, who was beaming with self-satisfaction and chatting with his classmates, as well as General Wu in the audience seats. After handing over the rest to the teaching assistant, the teacher left together on an internal commuting hovercar for the boxing arena.

In just two hours, Lian Yi completed the comprehensive exam very successfully. After finishing the last question, Zhi Nao calculated the accuracy rate to be 99%, which made the teachers very satisfied.

Liàn Yī was not satisfied with her exam results, although it should have been 100% accuracy. She had only gotten two questions wrong.

"Union, this time's exam focused on fundamental knowledge. You did pretty well! The third-year curriculum is where things get more in-depth. Then you can choose your favorite subjects and pursue specialized studies."

Du Zifeng stood aside and patted Lianyi's shoulder, saying.

Then ripples relaxed her brows and smiled, nodding in agreement.

With her current Nascent Soul cultivation, she could simply glance over these knowledge points and never forget them. The exam paper just now had ten extra-curricular questions, and based on her past experience, she answered eight correctly.

This is also the reason why teachers are satisfied, proving that Ripples' foundational knowledge is solid and comprehensive. It can even achieve an 80% accuracy rate for advanced topics, which is rare.

"Let's go to the boxing ring now."

Ancient martial arts master OuYang eagerly said.

Then, everyone went to the largest fighting arena. Looking at the place in front of them that resembled a beast-fighting arena in the cultivation world, the warlike factor in Lian Ri's body immediately became active.

"Du Hongtu, according to your test report, our test is divided into three rounds. The first round is fighting against star beasts, the second round is fighting against mechs, and the third round will be a sparring match with a teacher. All three rounds have time limits. Whether you win or lose does not affect your test results. We will collect all your data through these three battles, and based on this, we will determine if you are suitable for direct promotion."

Teacher OuYang walked past the crowd and gave a detailed explanation of the order and purpose of the fighting test.

Ringlets nodded to show she understood, then asked:

"Can I use weapons"

"Of course, if you don't have suitable weapons, we can provide them."

"Thank you, teacher. I have one. It was a gift from my grandfather."

Ripples smiled and said.

Everyone in the room knows who this grandfather is.

Any other questions

Mr. OuYang patiently asked.

He looked at him, his appearance was rugged and dark, but he had a meticulousness and caution that differed from his looks, so he asked another question.

"Teacher, can star beasts be killed If I damage the mecha, do I need to pay for it"

Liàn Yī asked seriously.

“Star beasts have always been one of our enemies, of course you can hunt them. The mechs are all outdated military equipment. They were just used to test your combat state against a mech. If they break, they break.”

After Ouyang finished his answer, Lianyi said there were no more questions. Then she took off her windbreaker and handed it to Du Zifeng. She jumped onto the large boxing ring with a clean and swift movement, neither showing off nor wasting time.

After her ripples appeared on the fighting stage, she reached out and summoned her natal sword, Lei Yao. When she advanced to the Golden Core realm, she had already placed her natal sword in her dantian for cultivation.

Before this, she was still very puzzled. She wondered why she hadn't had a tribulation when she advanced to the Golden Core stage. The grinding stone could only provide online answers:

Although this interface takes a unique approach, with both technology and ancient martial arts existing side-by-side, it still falls short of the standards of the cultivation world. You are an exception, though. While your spiritual energy accumulation has reached a certain level, you still cannot attract a lightning tribulation, so your golden core lacks a grade.

"This is the worst Golden Core I've ever formed. Will this affect my future battles"

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow and said, "As the former ancestor of the Liàn Yī clan, she had cultivated a ninth-rank golden elixir. Now there is quite a difference."

"It shouldn't be, just like I said before, the overall environment here is like this. You were able to advance so quickly because of the spiritual essence within that space. When you fight and use up your spiritual energy, you need to replenish it with the spiritual essence. So take it easy."

After all, with your Nascent Soul stage cultivation, it would take an immeasurable amount of time to replenish your dantian using this meager spiritual energy.

"Understood. Unless it's a battle for life and death, I'll try to use physical cultivation techniques as much as possible."

Ripples understand the explanation of a stone mill in seconds.

Back on the fighting platform, Ripple unsheathed her weapon. Several white-haired, elderly masters immediately began to stare at the sword, their eyes growing more familiar with every passing moment. One elegant old woman gasped in surprise:

"Isn't that Lei Zu's weapon"

"It looks very similar, but I'm not sure."

Before the teacher could finish speaking, he saw that the fight on the boxing ring had already ended.

The colossal body of the five-starred beast had fallen with a deafening roar, split in two. The ripples emanating from its form also landed at the same time.

The Star Beast was at least fifty meters tall and wide, shaped like a lump of mud. It had only one enormous eye in the middle, and its pitch-black claws could emerge from its body at any time.

It was too much to look at, Lian Yi felt her eyes stinging, there wasn't even a chance for the other party to get close. The tip of her foot tapped the ground, she instantly leaped up, simultaneously gripping the Lei Yao infused with a trace of spiritual energy in both hands and striking down directly. The battle ended in minutes.

The teachers' expressions froze for a moment, then smiles appeared on their faces, especially Teacher OuYang. She was smiling so widely that her teeth were showing. This time, she had really found a good student! At first, she was worried about this child because she had no combat experience when setting the five-star beast challenge. Unexpectedly, the opponent turned out to be so fierce, solving the battle with a single sword.

"Not bad, kid. You've got some skills."

Mr. OuYang watched the ripples on the boxing ring with joy and said,

"Thank you, teacher, for the praise. When will the next test be"

"Don't you need a rest"

"No need."

Ripples shook her head seriously. She dealt with this level of confrontation effortlessly.

"Okay, in five minutes we'll begin the next test."

The teachers watching, had already sent the video of that amazing swordsmanship ending the fight just now to other teachers at the same school, including those who were conducting freshman tests.asy, I can do it! That sudden automatic upgrade online AI should be the bug of this plane.""Yes, the other party invaded the plane in this way, so it wasn't detected by the plane for a while. In the e...
