101: Chapter 98 Senior Year Assessment
"Extreme explosive strength, 3.4 times?" Fang Yu was very calm in his heart, his target in mind being Yan Tianheng.
You must know that Yan Tianheng was only one year older than him, yet he was already a master close to Inner Scenery Perfection. What did it matter that he himself had reached the second stage of Inner Scenery?
Besides.
Even Yan Tianheng was only a Tier 2 Starry Sky Seed, and above him were even stronger Level 1 Starry Sky Seeds. Those were the top martial arts geniuses of the Blue Moon Alliance.
"Teacher."
"I want to go to the Heavenly Eye Room again tomorrow," Fang Yu took the initiative to say. "To use up this month's tianyan instrument quota."
Over the past twenty-plus days, Fang Yu felt that the auxiliary Cultivate effects brought by using the tianyan instrument last time had been completely exhausted, and it was time to use it again.
"Alright, I will take you there tomorrow afternoon." Tang Jianxin remained calm on the surface.
The next day, Fang Yu used the tianyan instrument once more. With preparation, he felt that the effect was even better than the first time.
"As expected, with my Mental Energy improving further, the signs of 'trance' will improve a bit," Fang Yu thought to himself. Returning from the Heavenly Eye Room, Fang Yu continued to immerse himself in crazy Cultivate.
In his spare time from Cultivate, Fang Yu would occasionally gather with good friends like Wang Mo, Bai Chen, and Qin Yang.
"Fang Yu, you work much too hard when you Cultivate."
Wang Mo couldn't help saying, "Some of the junior female students in the school are quite pretty. I originally wanted to introduce a few to you and even showed them your photos. When they heard you are an Earth Contract Student and quite handsome, they were all very interested in you, but look at you—you are unwilling to come even once."
"It's all going to benefit me instead," Wang Mo sighed with emotion.
"Are you using me as bait?" Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Don't play with fire. Every student in Huguang is a Martial Artist. If things get out of hand, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Understood."
"I' rather's serious this time. According to my dad's wishes, he wants me to try to find a junior female student in college with high talent and an ordinary family background," Wang Mo said earnestly. "If I wait until I leave school, the room for choice left to me will probably be very small—therefore, I plan to carefully select one myself."
"That works too," Fang Yu laughed.
Love on a campus was, after all, much purer than marriage and relationships in society.
"Fang Yu, you didn't even participate in the September assessment, and I see you rarely attend public courses either." Members of the Chiyan Team, such as Bai Chen, Qin Yang, and Xia Yao, were all quite concerned about Fang Yu.
At Huguang Martial Arts University, every grade organized a monthly assessment every month, generally arranged at the end of the month as the basis for total score rankings.
"I forgot."
Fang Yu laughed. He had indeed forgotten. After all, if he wanted to take an assessment, he could have Tang Jianxin open the permissions for him alone at any time, without having to follow the school's fixed schedule.
"As for public courses?"
"I can choose not to attend them," Fang Yu said. Except for a few cultural courses, most of the courses arranged by the school were martial arts teaching classes and student actual combat exchange classes.
However.
Most of the school's lecturers, such as Teacher Jiang Wei, only had skills at Inner Scenery Major Achievement, not much higher than the current Fang Yu. How could they teach Fang Yu? It was purely a waste of time.
As for actual combat exchange classes—Fang Yu and the others had actual combat rooms where they could conduct actual combat training at any time, which was much more effective than sparring with other students.
After all, when students sparred with each other, they still had to be careful not to hurt the other party.
However, when fighting humanoid martial arts robots, Fang Yu could completely let go of his restraints and didn't have to consider the matter of smashing the robots—if they were smashed, the school would naturally repair them.
Therefore, let alone a Xun-contract student like Fang Yu, even Earth Contract Students mostly cultivated alone.
"Right."
"Fang Yu, some students occasionally ask about news concerning you," Xia Yao suddenly said. "More than once, people have inquired with me."
"Oh?" Fang Yu felt a stir in his heart.
"Some people have also inquired with me," Qin Yang said softly. "I had a friend investigate a little bit, and the source should be Class 5708."
"Class 5708?" Fang Yu was puzzled.
"It's the class where Wanjin is," Bai Chen said directly. "It looks like, I reckon, he is following Xia Kaishan's orders to pay attention to your strength improvements."
"Wanjin?" Fang Yu couldn't help smiling. "Alright, sorry to trouble you brothers. Today, it's my treat."
"Haha, great."
"We must fleece this big tycoon!! You've even moved into the Student Manor. I heard that students in the Student Manor have tens of millions of Star Coins in training funds alone each year." Bai Chen, Qin Yang, and the others all laughed and said.
Fang Yu also liked this kind of atmosphere very much.
Humans were social animals; cultivating alone for a long time could easily make a person unsociable—occasionally gathering and chatting with friends was very important for one's inner well-being.
Over ninety-nine percent of Fang Yu's time and energy was invested in Cultivate.
Regarding the matter of people inquiring about his strength, Fang Yu didn't take it to heart at all. So what if they inquired? His Cultivate was not disturbed at all.
The important thing was to make oneself stronger.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the afternoon of October 28th.
In the martial arts room.
Tang Jianxin's teaching had just ended, and Fang Yu was covered in sweat, but his eyes were very bright, and he felt very comfortable and refreshed.
"Fang Yu."
"According to custom, tomorrow the monthly assessment for all senior students will be organized," Tang Jianxin said. "You didn't participate in the September assessment, did you?"
"No," Fang Yu shook his head.
"Then go participate once," Tang Jianxin smiled and said. "You've been in school for so long now, and your strength has progressed tremendously. You always need to make an appearance."
"Actual combat assessment?" Fang Yu frowned slightly. "Teacher, you can directly open the permissions for me to take the assessment, right? There's no need to waste time going there."
"It's different," Tang Jianxin shook her head and said.
Seeing that Fang Yu still had some doubts, Tang Jianxin patiently said, "I can indeed conduct the assessment for you alone—and it will also be counted into the total score ranking, but this kind of assessment lacks sufficient public credibility."
Fang Yu listened quietly.
He also understood.
A separate assessment had no other people present. Although there would be a video recording, after all, there were no other people to serve as corroborating witnesses, so theoretically there was the suspicion of "cheating".
"Your speed of progress is astonishing."
"Far greater than the progress of a normal Level 3 Starry Sky Seed," Tang Jianxin smiled and said. "I want to apply for Tier 2 Starry Sky Seed treatment for you."
"Tier 2 Starry Sky Seed?" Fang Yu was slightly startled. "Can it succeed?"
It had only been a little over a month.
"No, no!"
"Fang Yu, you misunderstood. The review of Starry Sky Seeds can only be completed by the Starry Sky Base—therefore, before your next actual combat assessment, it is impossible for you to be promoted to a Tier 2 Starry Sky Seed," Tang Jianxin patiently explained. "However, if your performance is good enough, the school might allocate some special resources to you in advance."
"For example, more treasure purchase quotas and more annual usage times for the tianyan instrument."
Fang Yu's eyes lit up.
More usage times for the tianyan instrument? This was great!
"These special resources, I will help you fight for them," Tang Jianxin said. "The most crucial thing is still for you to publicly display enough strength."
"The stronger your strength, the greater my confidence in striving for resources for you."
"The monthly assessment is your opportunity to showcase yourself."
"Don't you want to impact the main competition of the Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition in December? If you can get more special resources in November, your grasp will naturally be greater," Tang Jianxin said.
"I understand, Teacher," Fang Yu nodded heavily. "Then I will give it a good try."
"And let me see."
"What kind of standard the senior Earth Contract Students have." Fang Yu grinned and said. After more than a month of Cultivate, he already had a certain degree of confidence in impacting the main competition of the Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition.
His target, from beginning to end, had been the fifth-year Earth Contract Students.
At 3:00 PM on October 29th.
In a separate actual combat building of Huguang Martial Arts University, on the first floor, hundreds of people gathered here, lining up in turn to undergo life level testing.
"Yu Jian, life level 23.6."
"Next."
"Yu Lü, life level 24.9."
"Next."
In two rows of queues, students, under the gaze of several teachers and a large number of students, successively underwent testing with the life detector, followed by the basic fist strength test.
The two together formed each student's "base score".
The life levels of these students undergoing testing were generally very high. People like Bai Chen and Qin Yang were among them, obviously students at or above the senior Elite Contract level.
According to school custom, thousands of ordinary students underwent assessment testing first, and in the afternoon, Elite Contract and Earth Contract Students were allowed to undergo testing. After all, some top-tier strength students still had to undergo actual combat assessments at the end, which would take a longer time.
"Fang Yu, why are you here?" Bai Chen, who was lining up, saw Fang Yu appear and shouted in surprise.
"Team leader," Fang Yu smiled slightly, "didn't come last month, so I'm coming to take the assessment this month."
"Fang Yu?"
"He is Fang Yu?"
"I almost forgot what he looked like." Bai Chen's cry instantly attracted the attention of many students.
As the only senior student currently staying in the Student Manor, coupled with the commendation received at the last actual combat assessment conference, Fang Yu was extremely famous among senior students.
It was just that Fang Yu spent most of his time bitterly cultivating in the Student Manor, so even though Fang Yu had taken the stage during the last conference, as so much time passed, there were not many students who could recognize him at a glance.
At this moment, a large number of students looked at Fang Yu with curiosity.
"Team leader, you guys test first."
Fang Yu walked to the side. According to custom, Earth Contract Students were the last to undergo testing—in publicly disclosed information, Fang Yu was also an Earth Contract Student.
"Fang Yu."
"Hello, my name is Guo Xingyan." Among this group of Earth Contract Students, quite a few people took the initiative to greet Fang Yu with a smile at this moment—Earth Contract Students were all very arrogant.
However.
Facing Fang Yu, who was able to enter the Student Manor, even if they inwardly doubted whether Fang Yu truly had strength, on the surface they would still maintain extremely high enthusiasm.
Not far from where Fang Yu was.
"Wanjin, look, the fellow who killed your Junior Brother is quite popular." A sharp-looking woman in white leaned against the railing and smiled. She was very beautiful, but her face was quite aggressive, making it hard for people to feel desire.
"Mm." Wanjin was very calm.
This woman in white was his Martial Artist team teammate.
"Where do you think he can rank this time?" The woman in white smiled and said, "I estimate his life level will rush into the top ten, and actual combat can enter the top five."
"Top five? Impossible." Wanjin frowned slightly. "Having the qualification to enter the Student Manor means his skill talent must be very high, but no matter how high the talent is, it takes time to cash it in, not to mention he was previously just a junior college student—having just entered school for a little over a month, how much can his life level improve?"
"If his life level can enter the top twenty and actual combat top ten, that would be pretty good." Wanjin considered his evaluation to be very objective.
Soon, the Elite Contract student assessment ended.
"It's our turn," the woman in white said. "Let's go."
Dozens of Earth Contract Students stepped forward one after another—while most of the hundreds of Elite Contract students such as Bai Chen and Qin Yang were in no rush to leave, all curiously watching from the side.
Especially with Fang Yu's arrival today, it gave them even more interest.
