"I wonder if the afternoon exam can continue." Bai Ye gently smeared the spilled water on the table with his fingers and drew a circle.
"It will definitely continue. Unless something big happens, if a large-scale examination in a base city is stopped due to some external force, it will have an impact on the image and reputation of the base city. The outside world will definitely question the protective power of the base city."
Fang Luolin took a sip of water and put down the water glass.
"How was the exam today?"
"It's okay, it's performing normally, and it's within my expectations."
"Then... let's keep up the good work this afternoon?"
"Yeah." A smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips.
The afternoon exam went on as scheduled.
Watching Bai Ye enter the school.
The screen of Fang Luolin's mobile phone placed on the table suddenly lit up.
Open the phone, a text message comes,
Picking up the phone, the text message read: South Base City No. 36 is recruiting all gold-level and above royal envoys in the city to the city government for a fee to cooperate in resisting the beast tide.
Beast tide!
Fang Luolin's fingers trembled.
Two years ago, a beast wave broke out in the Western Base City, destroying a city wall.
Caused more than a million deaths.
It became the largest beast attack in the past decade.
Thirty-five years ago, a beast wave even destroyed a satellite base city.
There is not even one out of ten of the tens of millions of people in Base City.
There was no forced recruitment in the text message. It seemed that the beast tide was not out of control yet.
...
At school, the last cultural course exam ended in the afternoon.
The next step is to test the meditation results.
Each student is taken individually by the proctor to a small dark room to test their meditation scores. A copy of the test scores will be kept by a machine and uploaded to an encrypted data website.
In addition, a copy will be jointly maintained by the Obsidian Federal Education Agency.
At the same time, a copy of the meditation results will be printed out on site.
And everyone's test results will be announced at each school three days later.
Afternoon, on the playground.
Several vehicles used to carry measuring instruments were parked on the playground, and rows of students formed a long queue.
The students were talking in low voices.
Whispering and whispering to each other.
Because the three cultural courses have been completed, the only thing left is the meditation exam.
The meditation test is based on the daily accumulation over time.
If you don’t work hard on weekdays, your efforts now won’t be of much use.
Although cruel, it is also reality.
Therefore, everyone’s meditation results are basically predetermined. Although everyone is worried, they understand deep down.
Thousands of people gathered on the playground.
"Brother, which school are you from?"
"Heishui Middle School? Is it over there on Guanyang Road?"
"Brother, you are also from the No. 3 Middle School in the city. We are from the same school. Which class are you in? Why haven't I seen you before?"
You talk to me.
Bai Ye was not interested in talking about these things, and would just nod and deal with it when asked. Others around him saw that he was silent, so they stopped communicating with him and just regarded Bai Ye as a transparent person.
With his hands in his pockets, Bai Ye saw a group of people in suits walking forward in the distance.
The students in the first row at the front have already entered the modified RV for testing.
Bai Ye's position is at the front. There are only more than a hundred people in front of him, and it won't be long before it's his turn.
The team slowly moved forward.
This is a tense moment,
Even Bai Ye was affected by the tense atmosphere around him.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Some people came out excitedly holding their own meditation report sheets, while others were frowning and not satisfied with their results.
"Hahahaha, I actually broke through the four-star bronze spiritual cultivation level last night."
In the distance, a young man was holding his report card and laughing heartily, not without the intention of showing off.
The sound spread very far, and many candidates heard it.
"It is strictly forbidden to make loud noises, and you cannot disturb other students after getting the report card." The teacher on the side gave him a gentle knock.
"If you have a bronze five-star spiritual cultivation level, you can add 240 points." A fat young man on the left wearing a yellow shirt said enviously.
"There are only two people in our class who have surpassed the bronze spiritual level." A boy wearing glasses in front turned around and said.
"Those who can cultivate the bronze spirit are geniuses. They will be the real envoys in the future. Let's forget about it. We can only contribute to society." The fat boy in the yellow shirt said sourly.
"When the time comes, based on the comprehensive results, others can beat us by dozens or hundreds of points just in terms of mental strength, so what else can we compare with." Some students were unwilling to give up.
Listening to their exchanges, Bai Ye gained a deeper understanding of reality.
More than half of the students in his class have reached the bronze level in spiritual cultivation.
Even Wang Qilin, a guy who looks out of place, has a bronze seven-star mental level.
No wonder they all say that the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School is the best in the base city.
It doesn't look like a lie now.
A charioteer must have strong mental strength. Mental strength is the embodiment of a charioteer's strength and is also the most basic requirement.
Otherwise, the speed of high-level beast control exceeds the limit of ordinary people's sight, if there is no strong mental power to control the five senses.
The speed of the messenger's speech, the insight of his eyes, and the hearing of his ears will all be far inferior to that of his own beast.
How can I command the beasts, and how can I participate in the battle between the beasts and monsters?
When the time comes, the charioteer will only become a burden and burden to the beast.
Although each major-level breakthrough of the beast master can bring a certain feedback increase to the master, this increase is weak and limited compared to the same level of beast master.
Therefore, with the flourishing beast-controlling civilization today, humans have also developed a matching ability - spiritual power.
This is also the fundamental reason why mental strength plays a very important role in both the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.
"If you don't have strong mental strength, how can you be an imperial envoy? Just live your life honestly." A yellow-haired boy wearing a No. 1 middle school uniform said next to him.
"Don't glare at me. I'm telling the truth. If you don't have strong mental strength, you won't even be qualified to become an adventure-level knight. Otherwise, how can you command the beasts? And you think that exploring in the wild is just playing house? If you don't have the strength to go to the wild, that's it.
If you die, monsters will sneak up on you, and you won't even have the reaction speed to summon the beast."
Although the yellow-haired boy told the truth, it made people feel uncomfortable.
Someone started quarreling with him.
The yellow-haired boy wasn't angry either.
I'm just trying to reason with others, but my tone always sounds pretentious.
"Hey, are you Bai Ye from class three?" the yellow-haired boy suddenly said to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked back.
He wasn't familiar with the yellow-haired boy. He didn't like talking to strangers either.
So I took one look and then looked away.
"I know you, but I didn't expect that we would be in the same examination room. Let's go have a meal together when you are free later?"
Even seeing Bai Ye ignore him didn't stop the yellow-haired boy from continuing to brag about people around him.
"This is a real boss. Our class teacher all praises that his spiritual power must be very high."
Bai Ye was a little embarrassed by what he said.
Finally it was Bai Ye's turn.
"Admission ticket."
Give the admission ticket to the teacher.
Bai Ye quickly entered the car as if fleeing.
The space inside is a little dark.
There is a man sitting in the back.
On the inner side is an instrument, with a thin and long vertical line in the middle, and marked units on the left and right sides.
Going up from the black iron star, there are ten platinum stars at the top.
In front of it is a one-meter-high platform. There is a sunken area on the platform, and a piece of transparent jade is placed inside.
Bai Ye had seen an instrument that was exactly the same as this one at school not long ago.
"No need to wear a headband, just put your hands here." The man pointed at the transparent jade and said.
Bai Ye put his hand on the jade stone and closed his eyes.
Deep in the soul, there was a tremor.
It's like a string has been pulled.
The star ring formed by mental power in his mind was attracted by external forces and rotated in place.
The silver mercury in the instrument rises little by little.
One star for black iron, five stars for black iron, one star for bronze, five stars for bronze, one star for silver...
He was promoted to the silver level without any obstacles.
And it continues to improve.
The teacher who took the test looked a little surprised in his eyes and looked at Bai Ye a few more times.
This is the first student he has tested to be above the silver level.
Not to mention Southern Base City No. 36, even in the top-ranked satellite base city, it is very rare for students to have a mental level of silver or above in the high school entrance examination.
Silver two stars, silver three stars, silver four stars, silver five stars, silver six stars, silver seven stars, silver eight stars...
When he was about to reach the Silver Nine Stars, he held back for a moment and finally jumped upwards.
Stopped at Silver Nine Stars.
"It's amazing." The teacher sighed.
This sigh was sincere.
Because he has lived for more than thirty years, and now he only has the mental power of a gold star.
The kid was not even half his age and was almost catching up with him.
"I suspect your mental power may be the highest in our base city. I didn't expect a champion to emerge so early. I remember that the person with the highest mental power in the base city on the 36th high school entrance examination last year was only a Silver Six Star." The teacher said.
The tone was somewhat kind.
Then he stamped it and handed the transcript to Bai Ye.
"Okay, you can go out, the results have been uploaded." The teacher in charge said with concern, "Just let the next student in."
Bai Ye stood up and bowed, then left the carriage.
At this time, what Bai Ye was thinking about was not exam-related matters, but something else.
The second tomb in the dream has always been ready to move.
Now that I think about it, I am just waiting for my mental power to break through to gold level.
As long as your spiritual power reaches the gold level, you can sign a second beast master.
