"Stop exercising!"

Cao Yang's voice rang out right on time.

Chu Xuan opened his eyes with a helpless expression. He expended his energy for fifteen minutes, accumulating only a tiny wisp of spiritual energy within his body, a pitifully small amount.

If it were before, Chu Xuan wouldn't have thought this way, since he was already used to it. But after going to the new world and seeing what the almost endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth was like, he realized that...

Looking at the Federation in this degenerate age, it is simply unable to adapt.

The spiritual energy here is far too thin!

"Infuse the summoned spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the spirit jade. Ten breaths are all that's left; after that, you won't be able to wait!"

Chu Xuan immediately channeled the spiritual energy he had drawn into the spirit jade in his hand. The spirit jade flashed slightly, and then the number 1 appeared.

As expected, one point.

Chu Xuan glanced to the left and saw a zero and two ones. He then turned to look to the right and saw a one and two zeros.

It seems that among the 30% of students who ultimately take the college entrance examination, only half can pass the comprehension test and barely have a reason to continue taking the exam.

This competition is really fierce.

Mingjiang City has two key high schools and eight ordinary high schools, totaling ten high schools. Each high school has about three thousand students, for a total of thirty thousand students. Only about nine thousand can take the exam, and it is estimated that less than five thousand can barely pass.

As for those geniuses who are only at the second level, there are probably only a dozen or so in the entire Mingjiang City. These people are the real seedlings of the Immortal Abode!

The higher the level of skill, the more difficult it becomes. Reaching the pinnacle from the level of mastery is not necessarily easier than reaching the level of mastery from the level of beginner.

When you reach the pinnacle of skill, you're still practicing someone else's technique. But when you reach the ultimate level, the technique becomes your own. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

"I hereby declare the comprehension test over. In five minutes, the perseverance test will begin."

Those who choose not to take the exam may leave immediately!

No one left after Cao Yang finished speaking.

The comprehension test is the only one of the four subjects that can be quantified; the results were known beforehand.

The three thousand people who came here were either like Chu Xuan, unwilling to accept defeat and wanting to see if a miracle would happen, or they wanted to experience the complete college entrance examination.

No matter what kind of person they are, they will not leave halfway through.

"Old Chu!"

Just as Chu Xuan was pondering, Su Ming squeezed over from a distance, clutching the spirit jade.

"Why are you here so late? And so far out, I can't even squeeze out."

A glance at the spirit jade in Su Ming's hand revealed, unsurprisingly, a top student.

"Arriving early doesn't mean you can take the exam earlier, right?"

"That's different. This is still the college entrance exam. Even though we didn't do very well, we still deserve respect!"

Chu Xuan smiled, looked up at the three Immortal Mansion disciples in mid-air, and joked, "Weren't you planning to go to the Rock Club and pursue the path of body cultivation? I thought you weren't coming."

"How could I not come? This is the college entrance exam! It might be the only time in my life I'll ever see what a celestial artifact looks like, or even meet a Golden Core cultivator. How could I not come?"

"Besides, what if I'm one in a million genius, and I get an excellent grade in one subject and get into the Immortal Abode!"

"To bring glory to one's ancestors and honor to one's family!"

"come on!"

After exchanging a few words, Su Ming turned his gaze away from the sky, leaned closer, and said mysteriously, "Old Chu, you haven't been here for a month, so you probably don't know yet."

Chu Xuan was slightly taken aback, then withdrew his gaze and asked with some curiosity, "What do you know?"

"Bai Qingqing from our Hidden Dragon Class has reportedly grasped her own power!"

Chu Xuan was also startled upon hearing this. Power was something that could only be accessed after reaching the pinnacle of cultivation. It was said that in previous eras, many Foundation Establishment cultivators were unable to comprehend power.

At eighteen years old, still at the body-refining stage, he has already grasped the essence of power and scored three points in the comprehension test. He is definitely a genius!

If you can keep a steady performance in the last three subjects and avoid any major blunders, you're basically guaranteed entry into the Immortal Abode.

"Really?"

"How could that be fake? Bai Qingqing was sparring with Teacher Qin at the time, trying to break through her limits. We even went to watch."

"Originally, Teacher Qin only wanted to take this opportunity to broaden the horizons of us onlookers, but unexpectedly, Bai Qingqing really broke through. After comprehending the power, she, a person at the third level of body refinement, fought back and forth with Teacher Qin, who was at the eighth level of body refinement."

"According to Teacher Qin, with power by her side, even if Bai Qingqing is only at the third level of Body Refinement, she can fight to a draw with an ordinary seventh level Body Refinement cultivator."

Cow breaking!

Hearing this unscientific scene, Chu Xuan had only two words in his mind.

It's true that academic geniuses emerge from the fierce competition. One person, at the third level of Body Refinement, is fighting against another at the seventh level. While the other person is still stuck at the level of transcendence, they have already grasped the essence of their own power.

The world is full of heroes, like carp crossing a river; now I finally understand what that means.

Among top students, there are geniuses; and among geniuses, there are gods among gods!

Just as Chu Xuan was sighing, Cao Yang's voice rang out again, "Time's up. The second round, the test of perseverance, is about to begin!"

Chu Xuan quickly looked up at Cao Yang in the sky.

Cao Yang bowed respectfully to the void once more, saying, "Disciple Cao Yang respectfully requests the Immortal Artifact, the Illusionary Spirit Pearl!"

As soon as the words fell, ripples spread through the void, and a bead appeared in the void. It was a bead that was difficult to describe in words. At a glance, countless light and shadow appeared in the mind, each light and shadow containing a completely different scene.

Chu Xuan's mind was instantly drawn to these lights and shadows, and he forgot what he was doing.

The next moment, all the light and shadow vanished instantly, and Chu Xuan woke up with a start, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Is this the power of a celestial artifact? It's terrifying! I was completely overwhelmed after just one glance.

Before Chu Xuan could regain his composure, Cao Yang's voice rang out again, "The test of perseverance officially begins!"

Exam Content: The Ends of the Earth!

As soon as he finished speaking, the world spun around him. When Chu Xuan could see his surroundings again, he found himself on a straight road that stretched as far as the eye could see. A blazing sun hung overhead, and waves of intense heat rushed toward him.

"The exam is very simple: just keep walking until you die, and your score is determined by your final time. The longer you walk, the better your score!"

Chu Xuan sighed, thinking to himself that this was truly a test of willpower, and it was really tough on him.

Walking isn't scary, but walking until you die is not a pleasant experience.

Well, since we're already here, let's go.

Chu Xuan immediately walked towards the distance, facing the blazing sun.

Having just started out, Chu Xuan still had plenty of energy to look at the surrounding scenery. It looked like a desert, but he was in Mingjiang City, and there was definitely no desert around. It must be an illusion created by a celestial artifact.

But this is too realistic; it's impossible to tell it's an illusion.

That makes sense, considering I'm just a nobody at the third level of Body Refinement. It would be strange if I could even tell it was an illusion.

With his mind racing, Chu Xuan walked step by step into the distance, a path that seemed destined to have no end!
