Chapter 73

Zhong Kun was the first to lose his composure and immediately offered to accept the challenge.

Who's afraid of who!

He'd love to get tested!

His Spirit Points has recently surpassed 250; if he were to reveal that, Wang Ruika would have to call him "brother."

However, it was Li Yang who spoke first, saying, "Every school has its own rules; there's no need for them to be exactly the same."

Li Yang is never one to be swayed by others, and she retorted with a casual remark.

The students in the Spirit Department were unaware of the details, though they had vaguely sensed that Li Yang's Spirit Points was not low.

But not low doesn't mean very high.

Based on objective laws, given that Li Yang's Physique Points is already so high, he definitely wouldn't have time to cultivate his Spirit Points, so they concluded that Li Yang's Spirit Points wouldn't be too high.

Regardless of Li Yang's Spirit Points, she shouldn't have been humiliated by someone from the Star-Slaying Military Academy!

Immediately, someone stepped forward and said, "This is the Zhongdu Military Academy. We have our own rules, and we don't need you to tell us what to do!"

Jiang Yuqing also wanted to know how much Spirit Points Li Yang possessed.

His Shock System has two main functions: one is to shorten the refining time of pills; the other is to accelerate the improvement of his Spirit Points.

Upon closer examination, these two functions are actually the same.

After Jiang Yuqing consume their Shock Points, the system generates a time field. Within this time field, the flow of time is greatly increased, allowing pills that would normally take several hours to refine to be refined rapidly in a very short time.

Similarly, the Spirit Points that Jiang Yuqing need to cultivate for several days to increase can be accelerated by consuming Shock Points.

The refining of elixirs inherently requires Spirit Points.

This time field, generated by the Shock Points, is linked to mental state.

Upon closer examination, Shock Points is also a form of mental strength.

Currently, Jiang Yuqing have only developed these two uses. As their cultivation levels increase and they gain more abilities related to mental power, the Shock Points System may also be expanded accordingly.

Of course, Jiang Yuqing's understanding of the system came entirely from his own exploration, and he dared not ask others for help.

He himself didn't know the specifics of what happened.

Jiang Yuqing is now at the Second Grade Realm. Although he cannot use Shock Points to improve his Physique Points, there are many pills that can improve his Physique Points. Even if it will accumulate some pill toxins, Jiang Yuqing can only improve by taking pills... At worst, he can spend more money to cleanse the pill toxins later.

Jiang Yuqing's 500 points of Physique Points were fictitious, but his 500 points of Spirit Points were real.

He didn't believe that Li Yang's Spirit Points was higher than his!

Of course, being taller than him isn't a big deal...

Both positive and negative results will earn you Shock Points.

Rather than wanting Li Yang to shock him, he preferred Li Yang to shock him.

After all, Li Yang is such a stingy guy, he only ever gives a tiny bit each time.

It's not as satisfying as his own shock!

Li Yang clearly didn't want to have her Spirit Points tested, and everyone could tell.

Jiang Yuqing was also somewhat suspicious. Could it be that her Spirit Points was really low?

The students in the Spirit Department became increasingly convinced that Li Yang's Spirit Points was inferior to Jiang Yuqing's, so they did not want to be tested.

There was no need for it to be so high in the first place!

Her Physique Points is already 800 points. If her Spirit Points is also very high, how will the Spirit Department survive?!

"Li Yang! There's no need to pay him any attention; he's just deliberately causing trouble."

Jiang Yuqing said, "I'm stating a fact. Even the Star Combat Department at our Star-Slaying Military Academy requires students to also cultivate their spirituality."

"So all of you Star Combat Department are cowards when you go to the Astral Realm!"

"Third Grade Realm are already the weakest in the Astral Realm. If they're not going to cower like cowards, why would they rush off to become cannon fodder?"

Is this implying that the Central Capital Star Battle are just cannon fodder?

Although the Spirit Department complains about their own Star Combat Department every day, it's not their place to criticize!

"They were clearly warriors who bravely sacrificed themselves, and you call them cannon fodder? Is this the 'spirit' of your Star Slaying? Then you might as well not have increased your Spirit Points at all!"

Jiang Yuqing immediately said, "I don't mean to belittle the soldiers. I'm just heartbroken by the educational methods at the Zhongdu Military Academy. It's the truth. In the past twenty years, the Central Capital Star Battle Department has had the highest mortality rate in the Astral Realm!"

That's because they were brave and fearless!

Is pointless sacrifice considered bravery?

The parents watching were all a bit bewildered.

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Yuqing was truly courageous, going alone to the Zhongdu Military Academy and engaging in a Spirit Department...

Jiang Yuqing did gain a lot of Shock Points.

But he has changed.

After accumulating 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000 points of Shock Points, he looked down on the 5 and 10 points.

That's too little!

Not enough at all!

He wants big breasts!

Jiang Yuqing stopped confronting the Spirit Department and looked at Li Yang, saying, "Do you dare to have a match with me?"

Li Yang: "..." Dude, what exactly do you want?

Is your system really that bizarre?

Why did they give you such a weird task?

Compared to this, Li Yang couldn't bear to scold Sister Longevity (her system, even if it had a gender, was female).

At least Sister Longevity wouldn't give her such a toxic task!

Harvesting crops... it couldn't be more relaxing.

Li Yang's silence caused the students in the Department of the Spirit Department to worry again.

Wang Ruika took a step forward and said, "I'll compete against you!"

Other students from the Spirit Department chimed in, "Yeah, it's just a matter of Spirit Points, right? Our Brother Wang will crush you!"

Jiang Yuqing glanced at Wang Ruika indifferently and said, "You're not worthy."

Wang Ruika exploded. "How much Spirit Points do you have? You dare say I'm not worthy? I have 380!"

Li Yang knew that Jiang Yuqing wasn't lying.

His Spirit Points are indeed very high.

Although Li Yang could see clearly, she could guess roughly that Jiang Yuqing's Spirit Points should be around 500.

Jiang Yuqing glanced at the mental testing device and said, "Words are no proof. I'd like to borrow your testing device."

The proctor was a bit confused, not understanding how the exam had suddenly become chaotic.

However, they were also quite angry inside.

This kid from Star Slaying is too arrogant; he doesn't even take them, the Spirit Department, seriously.

Isn't he just a chosen one of the Pill Department- Heavenly Fortune Bearer?

You lost to Li Yang in alchemy, how dare you come here and cause trouble!

The Star Ash Mystic Realm incident is still a hot topic on the forums, presumably because Jiang Yuqing was very unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to win against Li Yang elsewhere.

However, Li Yang was simply too strong.

He couldn't beat them in a fight.

The only solution is to work on their Spirit Points.

Jiang Yuqing walked straight to the mental testing device.

The mental assessment takes a little longer than the Physique Points, but only about two or three minutes. The mechanical voice announced the results, "Unregistered student, Spirit Points: 500."

Upon hearing the result, a series of gasps rippled through the crowd.

Jiang Yuqing glanced at the Shock Points that had been deposited, and sure enough, she didn't see Li Yang's name...

Not only did Li Yang not receive any, but the students in the Department of the Agronomy Department also failed to give him Shock Points.

Jiang Yuqing's heart raced.

What does that mean?

500 points weren't enough to shock them?

Has Li Yang's Spirit Points already surpassed 500?

[Shock Points from Jiang Yuqing +200 points.]

A moment of silence fell over the testing room. Wang Ruika, his face deathly pale, said, "The Pill Department prioritizes Spirit Points... Li Yang is an Agronomy Department student, why do you want her...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuqing seized on his words and said, "Li Yang's talent for alchemy is extremely high, why can't I compare to her?"

Simply put, last time he lost to Li Yang in terms of alchemy speed, this time he wants to win against Li Yang in terms of Spirit Points.

That makes a lot of sense, and if there were a teacher specializing in the Pill Department present, they would agree.

Wang Ruika looked at Li Yang uneasily.

Other students in the Spirit Department wished they could pool all their Spirit Points together and give them all to Li Yang.

That's infuriating!

No wonder that bastard insisted on interfering with their midterm exams.

Even though Li Yang was trying to downplay his Spirit Points, he was still outmatched by him. Not only Li Yang, but the entire Central Capital Spirit Department felt humiliated!

They actually lost in the battle of Spirit Points...

That's so embarrassing!

Seeing that Li Yang hadn't made a move yet, Jiang Yuqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Since it's a competition, there should be some kind of prize."

After saying that, he placed a bottle of Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill on the table and looked at Li Yang with utmost confidence. "If your Spirit Points is higher than mine, these 30 Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill are yours."

Everyone: "!!!"

Even though the students in the Spirit Department were generally quite wealthy, they were still stunned.

30 pieces!

3000 merit points!

No wonder he is Heavenly Chosen supported by the Jiang Family, the richest family in Huaxia.

That's incredibly generous.

Wang Ruika saw through his plan. "So what if you bring out 100 coins? You're the one who wins anyway."

After hearing this, everyone calmed down.

Yes, it's a 100% chance of winning. Giving more is just showing off; Li Yang can't win at all.

Unexpectedly, Li Yang spoke up, "50 pieces."

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]

Jiang Yuqing asked, "What if you lose?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "So what if I lost? It wasn't like I wanted to compete."

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]

How shameless!

So stingy!

Li Yang, you should change your name. How about "Iron Rooster"?

The members of the Spirit Department were also amused.

They probably caught up with Li Yang's thought process.

As the saying goes, "Even if you lose the fight, you can't lose the moral high ground."

It's okay to lose in a battle of Spirit Points, but you can't lack the courage to fight.

Moreover, Li Yang's words made his stance clear.
