Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 15: The third mock exam! I choose the Immortal Exam!
[May 5, sunny weather, only 10 merit points were deducted today. The aftereffects of not getting enough sleep in the past few days have come. I almost fell asleep while meditating in the spiritual practice room. It seems that I need to adjust my schedule tomorrow.

You're already eighteen years old, so you still have to be mature and not get too excited about everything. I think when it comes to merit, you have to do it slowly and steadily.

I picked up two hundred bucks, and the school beauty comes to get me for free again, well... she is pretty, but a little shameless. She treated you so many times and you never ask me to treat you?
By the way, after two days of hard work, the purity of the wood spiritual roots has also increased from the original 19% to 39%. This is cause for celebration, cause for celebration! 】

[On May 5, the weather turned from cloudy to overcast. After a good rest yesterday, I recovered a little today. The merit value was deducted by 11 points throughout the day. At present, this number seems to be the most reasonable.

The freeloader is here...Huh? Why didn't I say again? Have you gotten used to it?

By the way, today the freeloader changed his Taoist robe into casual clothes. Hmm, confirmed, it’s really big…】

[I picked up two hundred coins every day (crossed out), the money I have already spent does not count. ]

[On May 5, the weather turned cloudy with showers, and the merit value was deducted by 11 points, which is 1110 points more than yesterday. Very good, this is the rhythm.

[Two hundred bucks, freeloader, casual clothes]

[May 5, sunny weather, 12 points of merit deducted, 1105 yuan, free monster, casual clothes.]

[May 5, sunny, 13 yuan, casual clothes.]

[May 5th, sunny weather, two... I forgot to write the merit points yesterday, so I’ll make up for it today.

Merit points (2 days): 2210 points.

Two hundred yuan, a Taoist robe, damn...】

[May 5, sunny.]

Wuhu~! The purity of the five elements of spiritual roots has finally increased by 39%. Hard work really pays off. Even if I am not a genius, I have escaped from the ranks of mediocrity...

In addition, the remaining merits from improving my spiritual roots today were all invested in my skills, and my experience bar directly increased by half. After holding back for so long, this is the first time I can upgrade so quickly!

This way, we can finally proceed with the next plan tomorrow: upgrade! upgrade! And a fucking upgrade! 】

【…】

……

……

Time flies and the years pass by.

On July 5, the weather was sunny.

Nanshan No. 4 Middle School, Grade 3, Class 10.

Li Xiang stood on the podium, patted the table to quiet down the students, and then spoke:
"Everyone, pay attention. The form sent to your interface is the subject selection for the third mock test. This is your last test before the college entrance examination. Take it seriously."

"Especially those few in the class. I won't call out their names. There are only a few days left. You should learn from your mistakes!"

"I want to emphasize here one last time. Although the school does not have mandatory regulations, please choose the subjects for the exam according to your actual situation!"

Lin Mo opened the group message received on the system interface and expanded the table.

The names of all the classmates are recorded on it, and there are two options after each name: 1. Xiankao, 2. Wenkao.

The immortal test for option one is very simple, there is nothing below.

Below the cultural exam are five elective subjects, and students who choose the cultural route need to fill in specific exam subjects.

However, what Lao Li just said did not refer to the elective of the liberal arts exam, but to the choice between the immortal exam and the liberal arts exam.

The reason for choosing to conduct the mock exam only 20 days before the real immortal exam is actually to make some students with weaker abilities give up their fantasies and choose the literary exam.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lao Li said, the students around him showed a bitter smile on their faces.

A few students who were about to choose randomly paused and stopped their hands from ticking the boxes.

At this point, they have tried their best, and they just can't achieve it.

Among the 50 students in the whole class, only about 5 have reached the middle stage of Qi Refining, and 4 of them have just reached the 4th level of Qi Refining.

Even so, they are among the very few top students.

Compared with the miserable looks of other students, their expressions were obviously more proud. They looked at the students around them who had their heads down from time to time, and they were almost showing off everywhere.

This situation is understandable. Those who can be assigned to this class will not have much difference in their spiritual root qualifications.

They were able to advance to the 4th level of Qi Refining, not only because of good luck in getting high-quality rewards, but also because of their day and night training, and they are among the best in the class.

It can be seen from the dark circles under their eyes that they do not have the aura of a mid-stage Qi Refining stage at all, and their faces are extremely pale, completely bloodless.

Of course, Ye Chen, who is crowned with the title of "Son of Luck", has a different style from these "Kings of Rolls".

He sat calmly in the second to last row, and didn't seem to think that being able to take the Immortal Examination was such a big deal. After seeing the smug looks on the faces of these students, he even made a disdainful "tsk" sound.

This made those Qi Refining Level 4 practitioners who wanted to show off look a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

Because according to gossip, Ye Chen's cultivation has successfully broken through the middle stage of Qi training and entered the late stage of Qi training.

In other words, Ye Chen, who defeated the second-generation immortal Zhu Hongyuan head-on in the arena that day, has completely secured the second place on the list of Nanshan's immortal candidates.

Therefore, Ye Chen now does not look down on them, but looks down on all the students in this school except Chu Wange.

Hey, hey, hey, try to hold back your middle school arrogance, it’s about to overflow… Lin Mo complained in his heart.

At the same time, he focused his eyes on the options in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

I didn't have a choice before, but now...

He clicked on the Immortal Examination option without hesitation.

[Candidate Lin Mo chose the Immortal Examination. ]

A selection prompt flashed in the group message.

Among the already small number of candidates in the immortal examination column, a new name suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Lin Mo, why did you choose the Immortal Examination?"

Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

They could count how many people in the middle stage of Qi Refining were in the class on their toes, so Lin Mo’s choice was naturally beyond everyone’s expectations.

The head teacher, Mr. Li, frowned slightly, also noticed Lin Mo's name, and said:
"Nonsense! Lin Mo, don't make a random choice. This is not the route you should choose!"

His tone was not too harsh. After all, Lin Mo was another "good student" in his eyes.

Although he has no talent for cultivation, he is still smart. If he takes the cultural route, he may achieve something in the secular world in the future.

So, Lao Li said earnestly: "The most important thing for you now is to think rationally and make careful decisions. Don't let a momentary impulse lead to lifelong regrets."

"Practice is definitely not the only option in life!"

The students around him also spoke up.

"That's right, Lin Mo, your academic performance is so good, it will be just as easy for you to get into a good university in the future."

"Hahaha, I want to go to the same university as you, Lin Mo!"

"Lin Mo, stop pretending. You thought I didn't know that you secretly study cultural subjects every day, right? You are the most cunning one in the class!"

"..."

Lin Mo felt warmed at heart when he heard the advice from Lao Li and his classmates.

But before he could speak, Ye Chen in the back row suddenly sneered and said:

"Haha, the most important thing for a person is to know himself. Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills!"

Shit, there's rat shit in the pot...

Hearing this, Lin Mo's temper flared up and he turned to look at him.

Ye Chen sneered, narrowed his eyes and looked at him, mocking him: "What? Did I say something wrong? Or did you advance from the 2nd level of Qi Refining to the 4th level of Qi Refining in less than a few days?"

Haha, you are right!

Lin Mo chuckled in his heart, you are the one who offered your face to me to hit you!
He also sneered like Ye Chen, and was about to stand up to show off his cultivation level that had just been promoted to the 4th level of Qi Refining, but suddenly he heard a reminder:
【Candidate Zhang Dahai chose the Xiankao. 】

The sound was clear and could be heard by all the students in the class.

Lin Mo turned around with a somewhat surprised expression, only to see Zhang Dahai holding his shoulder with a slap and saying:
"Good brother, I understand you!"

After saying that, he showed an expression that said "I'll go through mountains of swords and seas of fire with you", and then glared at Ye Chen arrogantly.

For a moment, Lin Mo felt mixed emotions.

Moving?

Yes, a little, but not much.

More importantly, I suddenly felt like I had eaten a fly, and my desire to show off in front of others was much weaker...
