Chapter 74 (continued)

Yu Hongyuan and Zhong Kun had been staring at the forum. After seeing Lin Zhaoxia's physique, they were both frequently taken aback.

"That's awesome!"

"What's this called again? Having high talent isn't scary, what's scary is having high talent and then relentlessly competing!"

"Yangzi lost!" Zhong Kun looked even more upset than if he had lost himself.

Oh, he never cared about winning or losing before.

It must be said that he was even more upset than when his brother lost.

Yu Hongyuan sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Lin Zhaoxia has the powerful Lin Family backing her. And here we are... we've even taken up Senior Sister's opportunity to plant chives..."

Zhong Kun also sighed, "Yes, if Yangzi goes to harvest leeks, I'm afraid he won't graduate directly and go to the star realm."

Everyone in the Agronomy Department saw Lin Zhaoxia's Physique Points, and for a moment they all felt sorry for Li Yang.

If it weren't for taking care of them, Li Yang would definitely be number one!

They are the ones who have hindered her cultivation.

She lost to Lin Zhaoxia.

Li Yang didn't think much of it. This midterm exam was different from the monthly exam. There was no special reward for getting first place. It would be better for everyone to study planting together and get rich in the Astral Realm!

The usually boisterous freshmen from the Department of the Spirit Department were unusually quiet at this moment.

On the contrary, the senior students in the Spirit Department were quite curious. "Shouldn't the freshmen have Li Yang's grades? Did she do poorly on the test? Is that why she's not saying anything?"

The freshmen in the Spirit Department are preparing a major attack!

Their Professor Wang has already submitted the assessment results to the Academic Affairs Office.

The assessment score for the Spirit Department is calculated as: Physique Points plus Spirit Points multiplied by 30%.

Professor Wang said to Director Niu, "The Agronomy Department hasn't neglected spiritual cultivation either. It's rather unfair to only record Physique Points scores during the assessment."

These 28 years are a very long time for ordinary people.

But for the Star Wielders, it's really nothing.

They just don't dare to mention the past of the Nature Department, but that doesn't mean they've forgotten it.

Niu Qianqian understood Professor Wang's meaning and nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. The students in the Agronomy Department all have Spirit Points exceeding 200, so the way to calculate their exam scores should indeed be Physique Points plus Spirit Points multiplied by 30%."

She glanced at Li Yang's grades.

If we only look at the Physique Points, it's 818 points.

However, her Spirit Points is as high as 730 points.

Even multiplied by 30%, it still amounts to a full 219 points.

The total score combined... has exceeded 1000!

Niu Qianqian clicked her tongue and said, "Terrible, really scary!" Although she said it was scary, her eyes were sparkling and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

After several rounds of review, the midterm exam rankings were published on the school's internal app.

After checking their rankings, everyone went to see who was in the top ten.

The top three results were all below everyone's expectations.

Even the top ten are baffling.

Lin Zhaoxia, whose Physique Points reached 850, only came in second place.

The first place winner Li Yang, had a total score of 1037.

Even more frightening is that Lin Zhaoqin, whom everyone had given up hope on and who was considered an outcast of the Lin Family, actually crushed Ying Qi with a high score of 685 and became the third place.

What follows gets even more magical.

The Star Magic Department originally wanted to see Fang Chuyun make a fool of herself, but unexpectedly she broke into the top ten with a high score of 600!

During the freshman monthly exam, Fang Chuyun was only ranked twelfth, but this time her ranking has improved!

The forum posts were endless. Even the freshmen who were ranked low and facing the risk of dropping out of school couldn't care less about their sadness. They were all staring at the unbelievable rankings with question marks on their faces.

Immediately, someone frantically typed on the keyboard. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! If Li Yang had over 1000 Physique Points... that would mean she's already at the Third Grade Realm! Since she's already graduated, why would she participate in the midterm exam?"

"Yeah, yeah, over 1000 points of Physique Points is equivalent to her opening 11 Star Aperture... that's definitely Third Grade Realm."

Did the academic affairs office make a mistake with the grades?

No one cared about Lin Zhaoqin, who was ranked third, or Fang Chuyun, who had broken into the top ten; they only focused on this obvious loophole and asked questions.

At this moment, the students from the Department of the Spirit Department finally got their chance to speak.

They'd been holding back for two days, and now they could finally have some fun.

"Don't use your shallow understanding to slander the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office!"

"The Nature Department cultivates both body and spirit, so this ranking includes a 30% Spirit Points, just like our Spirit Department."

Everyone: "???"

The Academic Affairs Office subsequently released detailed information.

Li Yang's Physique Points is 818 points, but her Spirit Points is 730 points, so her total score is 1037.

Upon hearing this detailed information, the senior students of the Star Magic Department fell silent, unable to type a single word.

Even ordinary freshmen in the Star Magic Department realized that this achievement was extremely valuable.

Don't be fooled by Li Yang's lower Physique Points compared to Lin Zhaoxia; her Spirit Points are terrifying!

Some ordinary students' mentors are only at the Fourth Grade Realm, and their mentors may not even have such a high Spirit Points.

There are always some skeptical students who shout, "Why should they get more Spirit Points? Give them all the sanity they want!"

The senior students didn't want to speak up, and the freshmen who had taken general education courses also felt ashamed.

The students majoring in the Spirit Department were delighted, and they replied sarcastically, "Hilarious! You don't think this is some kind of privilege, do you? If your Spirit Points is over 200 points, you can get it added at a 30% rate too."

"Our Spirit Department follows this rule to calculate grades. Why did we do so poorly in the monthly exam? Because many of us had Spirit Points of less than 200!"

The students in the Spirit Department ranked higher in this midterm exam, mainly because more students improved their Spirit Points.

"We Spirit Department are at a huge disadvantage. It's more than three times harder to increase our Spirit Points than our Physique Points! Logically, 100 points of Spirit Points should be equivalent to 300 points of Physique Points! But now we're at a 30% discount... Don't you have any sense of proportion?"

The reason for this assessment standard is that if you want to improve your Spirit Points, your Physique Points cannot be neglected.

Physique Points is used to fill the Star Aperture; if the Star Aperture cannot be opened, the Spirit Points cannot be increased either.

Therefore, the Physique Points of those with the Spirit Department is not too low; it's just that their overall cultivation level improves more slowly in order to increase their Spirit Points.

Such evaluation standards are inherently suppressing the Spirit Department and supporting the star war and Star Magic Department.

There's no other way; the Astral Realm is short-staffed.

If everyone's Spirit Points is expected to reach 900 points before advancing to the Third Grade Realm... then the number of Star Wielders in the Huaxia Main City will decrease by 70%.

This will shake the very foundation of Huaxia!

Moreover, by first increasing one 'Physique Points, one will have the ability to fight.

Instead of staying within the Huaxia Realm Domain, it's better to venture into the Astral Realm, where resources are more abundant and the potential for advancement is greater.

However, the mortality rate is also high.

There has always been disagreement within the Star Nexus Pavilion on this point.

Back when the Nature Department was at its peak, some suggested that other schools should learn from the Nature Department, lay a solid foundation, and have a higher survival rate after arriving in the Astral Realm.

The other side's view is also very realistic: the Nature Department has fewer members, and if all factions were to adopt the Nature Department, the Huaxia Main City might not even be able to recruit enough City Guard Army.

This involved differing political views, and the school forum naturally wouldn't allow students to discuss it publicly. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the administrators quickly released a new assessment guideline, attracting everyone's attention.

In the new assessment guidelines, one line of text is highlighted in bold:

"Regardless of the department, as long as the Spirit Points exceeds 200, the ranking will be recalculated after the make-up exam."

This undoubtedly piqued everyone's curiosity once again.

Will Lin Zhaoxia's ranking change?

Surprisingly, Lin Zhaoxia posted directly. "My Spirit Points are only 200."

Everyone: "!"

Subsequently, Zhong Qian, Shen Shangchi, and Ying Qi also posted their Spirit Points.

Only Shen Shangchi's Spirit Points was above 200, but it was only 210 points.

He chuckled and said, "Let's skip the retake; it's too embarrassing."

Their Spirit Points is really quite high.

They already have such high Physique Points, and to be able to raise their Spirit Points to 200 points is already quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, compared to Li Yang, she looks utterly pathetic.

After the midterm exam results were released, no one underestimated the Agronomy Department anymore.

Some even realized what was going on and revealed the truth. "Could it be that growing chives... is their method of cultivation?"

The new students in the Beast Taming Department cried even harder.

I should have chosen Agronomy Department!

They shouldn't have been assigned to this "half-orc" class!

The students from the Spirit Department were still quite enthusiastic about the program.

Before they even officially started criticizing, the Star Magic Department students were already kneeling in despair.

Li Yang's grades are simply too frightening.

Faced with absolute strength, even the haters were speechless.

Seeing that the students from the Spirit Department were still stubbornly clinging to the Star Magic Department, they were only getting themselves into trouble.

The students from the Star Magic Department were truly at a loss with Li Yang, so they resorted to attacking the students from the Spirit Department: "If I were Spirit Department, I'd better go wash up and go to bed. It's hilarious! Who's the Spirit Department here? Their major has been completely destroyed, and they're still applauding them!"

The students from the Spirit Department were thrilled; they had finally caught a fish!

So, someone posted the entire assessment process for the Department of the Agronomy Department on the school forum.

"Don't try to sow discord. We're all one family in the field of spiritual agriculture. If it weren't for this Star Slaying Slayer, Li Yang wouldn't have even bothered to test his Spirit Points!"

Once the video was released, the students who were initially unhappy with their midterm exam results secretly felt smug.

So that's how it is!

That's absolutely unacceptable!

Luckily Li Yang Spirit Points, otherwise he would have Star-Slaying Military Academy again!
