The school-wide evaluation: was Lorina all Class One had?

The ten-day period had passed, and the academy's first creation potential evaluation had finally begun.

At Linjiang Transcendent Advanced Academy, in the creation hall.

The hall was even livelier today than it had been during the first creation.

Students from every class in the year sat in separate sections.

Several enormous projection screens hung in the center, and even a few senior academy officials who rarely appeared had come.

After all, this evaluation was not just about choosing first place.

The results of each class's development after their first creation would also determine how resources were allocated going forward.

"Gu An!"

Gu An had just reached Class One's section when he heard someone call his name.

It was his homeroom teacher, Song Zhiwei.

She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with long black hair pinned up behind her head. She was strikingly beautiful, with a touch of mature feminine charm in her features.

Today she wore a snow-white blouse cinched at the waist, her full breasts stretching the fabric into soft curves.

A dark, figure-hugging skirt outlined her slender waist and rounded hips.

She wore a pair of light-colored high heels.

But there was little of a smile on her pretty face at the moment.

"Come here."

Gu An approached her and smiled. "What is it, Miss Song?"

"What do you think?"

Song Zhiwei raised the student record book in her hand and gave him a light tap.

"It's been ten days, and I still don't know how far your natal world has developed. Every time I ask, you just say it's doing pretty well."

"It really is doing pretty well."

"Then tell me, can you get a B grade today?"

Gu An thought for a moment.

"Miss Song, aren't we setting our sights a little low?"

Song Zhiwei was briefly taken aback, then glared at him.

"Big words. If you can't get the grade later, just wait and see how I deal with you."

Despite her words, she was still a little worried.

Gu An was the best theory student she had ever taught.

Before the first creation, she had even personally helped him refine his low-martial world plan.

Who could have expected that, when the day of creation actually came, the boy would pour all his initial origin into a expanse of chaos?

For ten whole days, even she had no idea what had happened in it.

"Miss Song, giving your student some extra coaching again?"

A deep, hearty laugh suddenly came from nearby.

Gu An turned to see a burly middle-aged man walking over.

The man was around forty, with close-cropped hair, broad shoulders, and a faint scar on his left brow. His smile was exceptionally hearty.

He was Shao Chengfeng, Class Two's homeroom teacher.

It was said that he had taken part in opening up the planar battlefields when he was young, only returning to teach at the academy later. He was especially skilled at developing combat-oriented worlds.

"Mr. Shao, did you need something?"

Song Zhiwei was clearly very familiar with him.

"Can't I come over for a look if I don't?"

Shao Chengfeng chuckled. "I hear Class One is counting on Lorina to carry the show again this time?"

Song Zhiwei raised an eyebrow. "What? Does Class Two have someone who can beat her?"

"No, we don't."

Shao Chengfeng answered without hesitation.

"How could I not know what that girl Lorina is capable of? But we're comparing more than just one student."

He pointed toward the Class Two group not far away.

"In Cheng Yue's Battle Qi Continent, the first batch of combatants have already formed battle qi cyclones. They even have alchemists."

"And Lin Shan's magic world has already built three mage towers."

"As for the other kids, they've all done fairly well too."

Shao Chengfeng spoke casually, but he couldn't keep the smile from his eyes.

"This time, Class Two can produce at least three B-plus grades."

Song Zhiwei glanced at him.

"The results aren't even out, and you're already counting them?"

"I call it knowing what to expect."

"Old Shao, I'm afraid your three B-pluses won't amount to much."

An unhurried voice suddenly came from nearby.

The newcomer wore a dark gray long gown. He was lean, with thin-rimmed glasses perched on his nose and a roll of student assessment data in his hand.

He was Luo Yanshan, Class Three's homeroom teacher.

Unlike Shao Chengfeng, Luo Yanshan specialized in studying immortal cultivation civilizations. He normally spoke in a measured manner, but was especially good at adding a remark when someone was feeling pleased with themselves.

"Xu Cheng from Class Three has already founded the Shu Mountain Sword Sect in his world. Its first disciples can fly on their swords."

"Then there's Tang Xiaosan's Dou Soul Continent: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, hundred-year Spirit Rings, and a Soul Master cultivation system that's already beginning to take shape."

He pushed up his glasses.

"Counting another student with a pill-dao immortal cultivation world, our class also has three candidates for B-plus."

Shao Chengfeng immediately took offense.

"Old Luo, are you planning to fight me for second place?"

"With Lorina taking first, I naturally wouldn't dare boast."

Luo Yanshan raised an eyebrow. "But I have to fight for my class when it comes to the number of outstanding students."

With that, he turned to Song Zhiwei.

"Miss Song, besides Lorina, which of your students are worth looking forward to?"

Song Zhiwei didn't answer immediately.

The Class One students behind her also looked somewhat uncomfortable when they heard that.

When it came to the single best student, Class One had Lorina, and no one dared underestimate her.

But if they compared the number of outstanding worlds, Classes Two and Three had indeed pulled ahead.

Shao Chengfeng seemed to notice the mood and laughed.

"Old Luo, don't put Miss Song on the spot. Doesn't her class also have the top theory student?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu An.

"You're Gu An, right? If I remember correctly, didn't you make a expanse of chaos during your first creation?"

Gu An nodded. "That was me."

"With a world like that, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a grade at all."

Song Zhiwei finally couldn't hold back. "Mr. Shao, Mr. Luo, the students haven't even gone onstage yet. Isn't it a little early to be saying all this?"

She closed the record book. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unmistakable firmness.

"We'll soon see for ourselves how the students in Class One have done."

Seeing that she was getting serious, Shao Chengfeng quickly waved a hand.

"All right, all right, we'll wait and see!"

Standing to one side, Gu An found the conversation quite interesting.

As it turned out, the teachers faced this much competitive pressure among themselves too.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

After Meng Yuanzhou, the director of academic affairs, announced the start of the evaluation, students from each class took turns stepping onto the assessment platform.

Meng Yuanzhou was over fifty, with graying temples, and had presided over many creation evaluations.

He sat in the center of the assessment panel with a thick student record book open before him. No matter what kind of world appeared on the platform, he simply examined it carefully, occasionally speaking in low voices with the instructors beside him before writing down his assessment.

The first few students' results were unremarkable. It wasn't until Cheng Yue of Class Two appeared that the hall truly came alive.

In the projection, yellow sand stretched far and wide, and battle qi sects occupied the towering mountain ranges.

On a training ground, dozens of youths were cultivating battle qi.

One young man crossed his palms, gathering the battle qi in his body into a cyclone, then slammed it toward a stone stele in front of him.

Bang!

The stone stele cracked, and the youths around him erupted in cheers.

The scene shifted to an alchemy hall on the mountain behind the sect, where several alchemists were controlling flames and placing different medicinal ingredients into pill cauldrons.

"A battle qi cultivation system, the alchemist profession..."

One of the assessing instructors nodded.

"The cultivation path has already begun to take shape. Not bad."

Meng Yuanzhou also made a note in the record book and signaled that the result could be announced.

[Class Two · Cheng Yue: B-plus.]

Class Two immediately burst into cheers.

Shao Chengfeng's grin nearly reached his ears, but he kept his hands behind his back and pretended to be calm.

"Young people, this is only the beginning. You'll have to keep working hard from here on."

Song Zhiwei shot him a glance.

"I might believe you if you could stop grinning."

Shao Chengfeng roared with laughter.

However, this was only the beginning.

As the evaluation continued, two more Class Two students received B-pluses in succession.

[Class Two: three B-plus assessments.]

Class Three, meanwhile, was not to be outdone.

In Xu Cheng's Shu Mountain world, an ancient sword peak rose amid green mountains and a sea of clouds. Dozens of sword cultivators flew back and forth on their swords, their sword lights like rainbows.

Tang Xiaosan's Dou Soul Continent drew even more attention.

In a soul beast forest.

A young Soul Master was wreathed in surging lightning, possessed by his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Two Spirit Rings slowly rose around him, one of them radiating a striking yellow glow.

When he activated his soul skill, lightning tore through the trees, sending nearby soul beasts fleeing in all directions.

"A hundred-year Spirit Ring!"

"It's only been ten days, and someone can already absorb a hundred-year Spirit Ring?"

"This Martial Soul system is interesting. Soul Masters can gain new abilities by hunting soul beasts."

Many students watched without taking their eyes off the screen.

Although Tang Xiaosan had lost to Gu An in practical combat class, his Dou Soul Continent had indeed achieved impressive results.

In the end, Class Three also secured three B-pluses.

[Class Three: three B-plus assessments.]

Shao Chengfeng and Luo Yanshan looked at each other, neither willing to concede.

"Old Luo, your Soul Master system is interesting, but when it comes to future combat potential, it might not measure up to the Battle Qi Continent."

"Not necessarily. Battle qi cultivation requires gradual progress, but the Spirit Ring system lets Soul Masters gain new innate abilities as soon as they break through."

"You old fellow, you just love to argue!"

"I'm only telling the truth."

As the two began arguing again, several teachers nearby couldn't help laughing.

Only Song Zhiwei stayed out of it.

She watched the class results continuously updating ahead of her, and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Class Two had three B-pluses, and Class Three had three as well.

Although Class One also had a few students with good results, none of their worlds had reached the same level of excellence.

Of course, she still had Lorina.

At that thought, Song Zhiwei finally sat up straight again.

Sure enough.

Before long, the name everyone had been waiting for appeared on the projection screen.

[Class One · Lorina.]
