June 7th, the date of the college entrance examination arrived as scheduled.
The college entrance exam is a significant day; even in this era where martial arts are held in the highest regard, its importance cannot be denied.
Xu Xin's parents and her brother, Xu Gang, both cleared their schedules to escort her to the examination site.
As an excellent sister-obsessed sibling, Xu Ai naturally wouldn't miss out, sitting in the backseat of the car while hugging her sister.
"We're here."
Xu Gang parked the car and immediately opened his door, rushing to the back, preparing to open the doors for his two sisters, only to find that Xu Ai and Xu Xin had already stepped out from the other side...
"There are quite a lot of people."
"It is the college entrance exam, after all."
Before becoming a Martial Artist, taking the college entrance exam to attend university is the mainstream path. Aside from those who are dead set on pursuing the path of a Martial Artist, most people, like Luo Feng, still participate in the exam.
Xu Xin's examination site was arranged at Yi'an District No. 1 High School, which was also the same site for Luo Feng in the original story, and the place where Luo Feng began his ascent.
Luo Feng would become so dizzy from tension here that it would lead to a minor activation of his spirit energy, passively enhancing his physical fitness.
After his physical fitness improved, Luo Feng would later pass the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment and practice the 'Five Hearts Towards Heaven'. With the support of genetic energy, his physical fitness would finally be sufficient to support his terrifying potential as a Spirit Reader, ensuring he wouldn't become a fool upon awakening.
Xu Ai looked around and soon spotted the Luo family in the crowd.
Beside them were the Wei family and an unexpected figure—Yang Wu!
Was Yang Wu's relationship with Luo Feng really that good? He actually came to see him off for the college entrance exam???
Xu Ai pondered this for a moment, but quickly shifted her focus.
She saw Luo Feng pushing Luo Hua's wheelchair, with Wei Wen and Yang Wu following on his left and right sides...
"A legendary scene..."
"What?"
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ai with confusion. Although Xu Ai had muttered the words quietly, she could still vaguely hear the phrase "legendary scene."
What legendary scene?
"Nothing."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ai immediately withdrew her gaze and smiled at Xu Xin.
Luo Feng appeared alongside his two Immortal gods—the Wenwu Two Ancestors—while also pushing his younger brother, Luo Hua.
Aside from original characters, the three most popular transmigrators in Swallowed Star were all gathered around Luo Feng; wasn't this a textbook legendary scene!?
One had to know that this classic scenario didn't even exist in the original work!!
Thinking this, Xu Ai glanced at Xu Xin.
When she read fanfiction in the past, it seemed her sister had also been transmigrated into a few times...
Taking advantage of the moment while Luo Feng was still pushing the wheelchair and both Wei Wen and Yang Wu were present, and while Xu Xin's attention was diverted, Xu Ai immediately took out her phone and snapped a photo in an instant.
"Check-in!"
Xu Ai looked at the photo; the angle was perfect, with the Luo brothers and the Wenwu Two Ancestors all in the frame!
She suddenly felt a desire to show it off to someone, but unfortunately, no one here could understand the significance of this photo...
Over the next two days, Yang Wu didn't come by again, and on the final day of the exam, when Luo Feng was carried out of the school, Xu Ai took another photo of him.
This was the beginning of Luo Feng's cheat-like growth, and the moment in the entire Swallowed Star where Luo Feng began to take flight; it was worth commemorating!
"Check-in!"
"Satisfied!"
Xu Ai tucked her phone back into her pocket and returned to the car to sit down.
The reason Luo Feng fainted was that the difficulty of the questions was too high, and he spent too much time on them, which caused his mind to become overly tense, activating some spirit energy and forcing him to pass out.
He had already been taken away by an ambulance, and more than half an hour had passed since the exam time...
An hour and a half later, as the broadcast signaling the end of the exam played and the papers were collected, a group of students walked out of the teaching building. After another while, the school gates opened, and the students all filed out.
"Little sister, how did you do?"
Seeing Xu Xin appear, Xu Gang hurried to greet her.
"Not bad..."
Xu Xin said, bypassing Xu Gang with some urgency.
Xu Gang felt a bit bewildered, but didn't think too much of it, following behind Xu Xin back to the car.
"Little Ai, what happened to Luo Feng?"
Xu Xin leaned into Xu Ai's ear and whispered.
Her voice was very soft, intended to prevent Xu Gang from hearing.
Xu Ai gave Xu Gang a smug look, then whispered back to Xu Xin.
"He fainted in the exam hall and was taken away by an ambulance."
Of course I know that!
Xu Xin had seen with her own eyes Luo Feng being carried away; it went without saying that he had fainted and been sent to the hospital!
Otherwise, why would she be so anxious the moment she came out...
"What? Do you want to go pay him a visit?"
"This... is that okay?"
As she spoke, Xu Xin stole a glance at Xu Gang.
If Xu Gang found out she wanted to visit Luo Feng, Luo Feng's family would likely be in trouble.
"As long as you're happy~"
Xu Ai wrapped her arm around Xu Xin's slender waist.
In reality, one had to remember that Xu Xin was the disciple of the Ruthless Councilor; a disciple of a councilor held a much higher status than that of a direct descendant of the Xu Family.
If Xu Xin wanted Luo Feng to marry into her family, the Xu Family would probably just offer some advice, and if that didn't work, they would let it go.
If Luo Feng refused to marry into the family, they might even help by using some coercion or enticement on him...
Of course, Xu Ai wouldn't remind Xu Xin of this; she should let a few dozen reincarnation eras pass first...
Xu Xin hesitated for a while, but eventually gave up, and Xu Ai didn't have any objections to that.
Judging by the original story, Wei Wen had rushed to the hospital as soon as the exam finished, but by then, Luo Feng had already been discharged. Xu Xin going to the hospital now was actually a step behind Wei Wen.
So, it could be said that Wei Wen was Luo Feng's true love, only the gender was an unexpected twist...
In the end, it was her own sister who benefited.
"Right!"
Xu Ai suddenly looked at Xu Xin.
"Now that the college entrance exam is over, you can focus on martial arts training."
"Uh, this..."
Xu Xin immediately cast her worries about Luo Feng to the back of her mind.
When it came to martial arts and physical training, she was the type to fish for three days and dry nets for two. Previously, she had used preparing for the college entrance exam as an excuse to avoid training.
Because of this, even though she had consumed quite a bit of wine made from Vegetation Spirit like the Millennium Black Crow Root, her physical fitness had barely reached the level of a high-level trainee.
The Vegetation Spirit that ordinary people could absorb was meant more for enhancing cellular activity rather than directly increasing physical fitness. If Xu Xin didn't train, drinking the Vegetation Spirit wouldn't have much effect...
But now...
"Big Brother, to my master's place, let's go!"
"You got it!"
Martial arts training was a good thing, and regarding Xu Xin's decision to train, Xu Gang, being a sister-obsessed brother, was naturally more than willing.
Not to mention, after Xu Ai became the disciple of the Ruthless Councilor, she had gone from a mid-level trainee to a Quasi-Martial Artist in just three months.
Since Xu Xin was also a disciple of the Ruthless Councilor, how much worse could she be?
"Hey..."
Before Xu Xin could finish her sentence, Xu Ai pulled her into her arms and covered her mouth, while Xu Gang drove off in unison, heading toward the home of the Ruthless Councilor.
Upon arrival, Xu Ai pulled Xu Xin out of the car, and then Xu Gang slipped away.
Xu Ai pushed the reluctant Xu Xin into the villa.
"Let's go, there are still two months until the actual combat assessment, and I reckon Luo Feng will participate by then~"
Having said that, the implication was already very clear.
"Fine... whatever..."
Anyway, if she didn't agree, she would just be dragged off to train, so she might as well look on the bright side...
At this moment, the Ruthless Councilor was still cultivating in the Gravity Chamber, leaving only Xu Ai and Xu Xin in the entire Martial Arts Hall.
"Let me calculate, three months ago, which was before I became a disciple, my punch force was around 600 kilograms. Three months later, I became a Quasi-Martial Artist, which means in three months, my punch force increased by an average of 100 kilograms per month."
Xu Ai glanced at Xu Xin.
"Sister, let's assume your current punch force is 700 kilograms and your speed is 22m/s. That means if you want to participate in the actual combat assessment on August 1st, you must increase your punch force by over 200 kilograms and your speed by 3m/s by July 1st."
"Is it too late for me to run away now?"
Xu Xin was on the verge of tears; 200 kilograms in a month—she was afraid she would have to train herself to death this month...
Xu Ai looked at Xu Xin with an encouraging gaze and patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, among Master's Vegetation Spirit, there are those that boost mental energy and those that relieve fatigue; you can push yourself as hard as you want!"
"..."
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it."
Xu Ai comforted her.
It was worth noting that although her average monthly increase was 100 kilograms, in reality, it was only forty or fifty kilograms in the first month. It wasn't until the second month, when the Ruthless Councilor brought back the Vegetation Spirit, that the training effect skyrocketed.
And since Xu Xin had also consumed quite a bit of Vegetation Spirit, her cellular activity as an ordinary person had long been developed to the limit. Training in this state would yield twice the result with half the effort. 200 kilograms was indeed difficult, but if she trained until she was half-dead, she could really succeed!
