"Tomorrow at eight in the morning, we'll first attend a ceremony for the fallen heroes, to bid farewell to our comrades from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau!"

Dai Yuegui dressed in all black, spoke with a heavy heart.

Su Yue and the others nodded as well.

The Investigation and Arrest Bureau suffered the worst that night, utterly wiped out.

"Instructor, how is Director Lu? Is he still being resuscitated?"

Liao Ji suddenly asked.

Su Yue was unconscious at the time, but they all saw Lu Xinrong's tragic state.

Almost clinging to life.

"He is out of danger, but his internal organs are severely damaged. He will never be able to use Qi Blood again, and for a long time, he'll be bedridden, unable to care for himself."

Dai Yuegui's words grew heavier.

"Director Lu is a hero."

Zhou Yuncan sighed.

With knives embedded all over him like a porcupine, he stubbornly withstood the onslaught of so many evildoers, truly incredible.

"Regarding the rewards from Cengyan City for you, the officials are still deliberating so don't worry."

"Today, let's all gather to check the college entrance exam results!"

Dai Yuegui opened the slideshow.

This year's college entrance exam scores were not much different from previous years.

Category B Wuda, 15 cards of Qi Blood.

Category A Wuda, 17 cards.

The four major Martial Arts Academies and Warring States Military Academy still had a minimum standard of 19 cards.

"First, let's congratulate Gong Ling, she has already received an admission letter with no test required from the Warring States Military Academy."

Dai Yuegui led the applause.

"Thank you all, I'm very happy to have this opportunity."

Gong Ling stood up, shyly nodding.

Even though with her 18 cards of Qi Blood she was not eligible, that night she demonstrated exceptional archery skills, winning the favor of the Warring States Military Academy.

For Gong Ling, a calamity turned into a chance to prove herself.

"The Divine Land is vast, opportunities are never lacking. Without your daily hard work, you couldn't have seized it!

"You should thank your hardworking self every day."

Dai Yuegui nodded vigorously!

A thunderous round of applause.

The classmates loved drinking Dai Yuegui's motivational talks.

"According to the previous tests, everyone in our class should be able to get into Wuda, congratulations!

"Of course, two students need special attention!

"Su Yue, Liao Ping, you two can aim for the top ten in the national college entrance exams!"

Dai Yuegui turned and spoke.

As the words fell, the slideshow transitioned to the next page.

It listed ten names, which are the national top ten in this college entrance exam.

Being in the top ten would earn a reward of hundreds of thousands of gold from the government, but to these families, it is insignificant. What's important is the fame and the commemorative significance of life.

After all, which of the young people reaching the top ten isn't ambitious, which doesn't aspire to be the first?

"Instructor, what does this comprehensive potential value mean?"

Zhou Yuncan asked.

The rankings in the top ten didn't seem to be based on Qi Blood.

"After reaching 20 cards of Qi Blood, there are two paths: sealing grade and bone cleansing. As for which path is correct, there is no definite conclusion in the Martial Arts Realm.

"Choosing bone cleansing, you can break through to Grandmaster more easily.

"Choosing sealing grade, you become powerful sooner, thus progressing faster than others.

"Nothing is absolute; not cleansing bones can also break through to Grandmaster. Even after cleansing, one might not reach the Grandmaster phase.

"But the path of bone cleansing is inherently more difficult.

"Hence, the college entrance exam scores do not solely depend on Qi Blood. After sealing grade, the speed of cultivation will be much faster with body refinement through spirit rings."

Dai Yuegui continued explaining:

"The third-place in this year's exam, like Su Yue, is a platinum bone image after the second cleanse, with 40 cards of Qi Blood.

"However, the fourth-place Martial Artist is at the pinnacle of first grade, with 99 cards of Qi Blood.

"That's the comprehensive potential value. The difficulty of the second bone cleansing is of definite value over the pinnacle of the first grade.

"But this value isn't absolute, for instance… the top two are already in the second grade. One with 113 cards, the other 147 cards."

As Dai Yuegui finished speaking, a frenzy of discussion erupted among the crowd.

Su Yue also underestimated in his heart.

It's terrifying.

The top scorer already reached the second grade, with 113 cards, 147 cards.

Why are others so outstanding, while we're the same age?

It's unimaginable.

And those barely reaching the Category B Wuda admission threshold had nothing to say.

They had just surpassed 15 cards, while others were already at 147 cards, not even a fraction of those strong ones.

"Don't feel inferior, once at Wuda, after sealing grade, there will be spirit rings in your body. Controlling the spirit rings in meditation will make Qi Blood cultivation much more effective than now!

"Currently, you're cultivating Qi Blood by the most primitive method, constantly breaking your physical limits.

"But with spirit rings, just need quiet meditation, and under its influence, Qi Blood will be cultivated.

"Contrarily, after the first grade, you will need to spend more time on combat tactics, as preparation for the lower realms. Though the college entrance exam claims to be fair, it isn't; for talents like Su Yue and Liao Ji proficient in tactics, they aren't even regarded in the scores."

Dai Yuegui said.

This truly is a pure Qi Blood exam, but if it were indeed rote education, no way could there be Su Yue's defiant slaughter.

Many things can't be judged, absolute fairness simply doesn't exist.

The crowd nodded, having heard a little about spirit rings, yet no one in the potential class had sealed a grade, making it relatively unfamiliar.

Su Yue heard from Flower Bear about the role of spirit rings, like a car engine.

Once you start it, it'll burn your Qi Blood, aiding your cultivation.

Actually, what Dai Yuegui described as easy wasn't.

Meditation sometimes isn't easier than breaking limits.

Sitting quietly isn't equivalent to sleeping.
