Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

The three of them were the last to exit the elevator.

The long-haired youth stared at Xiao Weiqing and said, "My name is Jiang Peng, this is my cousin Wei Lan, and what is your name, classmate?"

Xiao Weiqing opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Seeing this, Jiang Peng reached out and flicked a wisp of spiritual energy towards Xiao Weiqing's throat.

"Ahem... Ahem... Hello, Senior Jiang, my name is Xiao Weiqing."

"A good name."

"However, Xiao, do you know that the last person who tricked me had already fed a demon beast?"

Xiao Weiqing shrank back and said, "Sorry, senior, I was just curious and that's why I resorted to this."

"Alright, it's not your fault. I was the one who didn't keep quiet. Besides, it concerns the Extraordinary Exam. If it were me, I probably would have done the same."

At this moment, Wei Lan said, "Cousin, why don't you bring Brother Xiao Weiqing along? He just brought me to the hotel."

Jiang Peng's expression immediately turned hostile. "Did I bring you to the hotel?"

Seeing that Jiang Peng had misunderstood, Xiao Weiqing quickly explained, "She doesn't know the way, so I brought her along since I was going the same way."

Jiang Peng nodded slightly. "I see."

He knew that his cousin had little contact with the outside world.

"Alright, it's fate that we met. I'll take you there, but remember, don't tell anyone. If word gets out, I'll at most be criticized, but you'll definitely be in trouble."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Peng's words carried a warning.

Xiao Weiqing nodded quickly and said gratefully, "I understand, thank you, Senior Jiang."

"Alright, cousin, don't scare Qing-ge, let's go."

"Qing...Brother Qing?"

Jiang Peng was furious when he saw Wei Lan's beautiful eyes almost turning into hearts.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Lan, let me tell you, those eyes of yours aren't for looking at handsome guys. If you do this again, I won't take care of you next time, and don't even think about me bringing you out."

Wei Lan pouted, "Alright, alright, I got it. Let's go."

"snort."

The group walked to the roadside, where a luxury car was parked.

"Kid, sit in the passenger seat. Don't look around or say anything out of line. We'll go our separate ways after this."

Xiao Weiqing smiled wryly. He had gone from being a "classmate" to a "youngster." It seemed that Wei Lan was much more important than he had imagined.

"I see."

Jiang Peng drove and arrived at a building twenty minutes later.

The three of them went straight to the top floor.

Upon entering the room, it was not as magnificent as I had imagined; instead, it was rather simple.

In the center of the room, a silver instrument came into view. It was three meters tall and nearly two meters long and wide, exuding a high-tech feel. There wasn't a single seam visible on its exterior, so Xiao Weiqing didn't think it was a lump of metal.

Several tables and chairs were occupied by elderly adults, with a child about the same age as Xiao Weiqing standing behind each of them.

I counted, there were 8 people in total, they should all be about to participate in the Extraordinary Exam.

"Professor Jiang, you've finally arrived," a middle-aged man stood up and greeted him.

Xiao Weiqing was surprised. 'Jiang Peng is my mentor?'

"Master Li, please be careful with your words. I have only just applied to stay at the university. It is too early to call me a mentor."

"Oh dear, with Professor Jiang's abilities, it's only a matter of time," a woman said, standing up as well.

Jiang Peng didn't reply, "Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

"Alright, let's not delay, everyone hurry up." The crowd agreed.

The instrument was powered on and emitted a white light.

Everyone looked at Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng nodded, stepped forward, swiped his wristband on the device, then took something out of his pocket and inserted it into a notch.

The instrument is opened from the front.

"A million at once, no problem, right?"

Everyone nodded. "No problem, that makes perfect sense."

"Then you may begin."

As he spoke, Jiang Peng led Wei Lan and Xiao Weiqing to sit down to the side.

Xiao Weiqing swallowed hard and murmured, "A million? One million Great Xia coins?"

It should be noted that the annual expenditure on Xiao Weiqing by the Great Xia Dynasty is definitely no more than ten thousand.

"Kid, now you know how much of a bargain you got."

"Professor Jiang, I..."

"I told you I'm not your tutor yet, so don't worry about the fees. You're just a side job. Just remember not to tell anyone."

"Oh, okay, Senior Jiang, I wanted to ask you something..."

"Don't try to get close to me. If you want to be my junior, you're still a long way off."

"Brother Jiang?"

"Don't try to claim kinship with strangers."

"Xiao Jiang, I have a question for you..."

Jiang Peng: "?"

"Hey kid, you've got some nerve, haven't you?"

Wei Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, cousin, stop teasing Qing Ge."

"Hmph, just call me senior." Jiang Peng snorted and crossed his arms.

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Senior Jiang, is this simulated awakening? Is it accurate?"

Jiang Peng said, "Of course..."

"No."

Xiao Weiqing was stunned. "Huh?"

"What are you thinking? Extraordinary talent is a gift from the gods. How could mortal technology possibly predict it? If technology could do these things, we would have wiped out all the monsters long ago."

"Then this..."

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat disappointed; he had thought it was really possible to simulate awakening.

Jiang Peng said, "It's not entirely accurate, but it's also somewhat accurate. It's mainly used to pinpoint the area."

"Based on past experience, if you take the test several times in a row and it shows 'Martial Arts', then your extraordinary talent is probably in the martial arts category."

"Similarly, the same applies to 'skill' and 'spirit'."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Can spiritual affinity increase the level of extraordinary talent?"

"Of course...no."

"what?"

Xiao Weiqing was dumbfounded again.

"That's just a trick to fool you into working hard to cultivate your spiritual energy. I was also deceived in the past, or rather, most people before participating in the Extraordinary Awakening were deceived in this way."

Jiang Peng glanced at Xiao Weiqing. "Kid, your spiritual energy simulation test score is very high?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Yes, full marks."

Jiang Peng scoffed, "Perfect score? Do you even know what the perfect score is?"

"Isn't it 40 points?"

"That's just the upper limit of the extraordinary test."

Jiang Peng explained, "The extraordinary awakening ceremony, to put it simply, is a process in which divine power stimulates the human body, develops its potential, and thus opens the path to extraordinary cultivation."

"The score of the spiritual energy test only represents your cultivation speed. Although it is true that if you are fast at one step, you will be fast at every step, but there are always external forces that can make up for it. Moreover, there are many ways to do this. But extraordinary talent is different. Once it is determined, the upper limit may be fixed."

"For example, if you score 40 points in the spiritual energy assessment and are given a level 1 'Body' talent, like having your fingers grow bigger, what's the use?"

Xiao Weiqing felt a chill run down his spine; if that were the case, he would want to die.

"Remember, extraordinary talent is an ability given by God out of mercy to mankind. It is the fairest thing, and all beings are equal. It has nothing to do with affinity for spiritual energy."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Weiqing murmured, "Fairness..."

"Senior Jiang, if it were fair, what would they be doing now?"

Jiang Peng glanced at the group of people. "They are preparing for the worst-case scenario. If their child doesn't achieve good results in the Extraordinary Talents program, they will implement the backup plan, which will still allow the child to attend an Extraordinary University."

"Awakening extraordinary talent is fair, but the Extraordinary Talent Exam is not, and school admissions are even less so, understand?"

"I think you should know that your Linhai County has eight more spots for the Extraordinary University this year compared to last year."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing's eyes widened as if he had heard something unbelievable, and he turned to look at the eight people.

half an hour.

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Senior Jiang, I've learned a lot."

Jiang Peng nodded slightly. Fortunately, Xiao Weiqing didn't say anything about unfairness like the hothead.

"Actually, this is a good thing. These people paid money, the school has more resources, I benefit and also gain favor. The spots were originally obtained by them by spending money. If their children all have great extraordinary talents, the spots will be extended, which means that your Linhai County will really have 8 more spots."

Xiao Weiqing thought about it and agreed. If these eight people participated in the Extraordinary Awakening as usual, and one of them obtained a good extraordinary talent, then the original 90 spots would be reduced by one.

In this situation, regardless of whether these eight people have extraordinary talents, they will only bring benefits to Linhai County.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Besides, aren't you a beneficiary of this too?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

Yes.

What difference does his current situation make? If there is any difference, it's that he came here to get something for free.
