Chapter 59: Quarterly Evaluation

  Three months passed quickly, and Yang Tong spent these three months extremely fulfilling. He was crazy about studying in the classroom, learning all kinds of knowledge. When there were no classes or elective courses that interested him, Yang Tong would go to the library to read books. In school, you have to learn a bit of everything, but reading books in the library is not cheap - 1 yuan per month. Eating in the cafeteria costs 1 yuan per year. No matter how much you eat, it's still 1 yuan per year, with a hint of self-service flavor. Having food delivered to your door costs half a year for 1 yuan, depending on the student's choice.

  Yang Tong's three-month cultivation was to once again open up the 40 acupoints, reaching the peak of the second level of the Great Earth, and he could break through at any time. However, Yang Tong spent the past three months not focusing on his cultivation, but rather on absorbing various knowledge, including school knowledge and the Jade Clear lineage's knowledge.

  For three months, Yang Tong has been immersed in the ocean of knowledge, unable to extricate himself. The library and dormitory are his only two destinations, and even meals are delivered to his dormitory for him to eat.

  Yang Tong was eating while thinking about a formula for synthesizing a certain material.

  "Master, the quarterly assessment will be held in three days. Please gather at 8:00 am on the third day at the No. 10 training ground." Suddenly, a message from 3170 came through.

  "What is quarterly evaluation?" Yang Tong asked in confusion.

  "The school holds an exchange conference every three months, at which time students can apply in advance for subject assessments. If they pass, they will receive corresponding credits. By completing the required credits ahead of schedule, they can move up to a higher level and study more profound content. Additionally, there are competitions, and those who excel will be rewarded with academic points."

  Yang Tong listened and thought for a while. In fact, it's just the imperial examination and martial arts examination. The former can be applied for by oneself, but the latter cannot, and must participate.

  Wen's, Yang Tong is not afraid of exams, because in these three months, the basic content of these subjects has also been learned more or less, and it can be said that they have been mastered. As for Wu's, it's a bit troublesome, Yang Tong didn't recite the military equipment, had no choice but to buy one to practice with.

  In the school's online mall, there are many Nen-based weapons, but what should I buy?

  "I want to enter the online mall and see what kind of spiritual energy weapons are available." Yang Tong said softly.

  In an instant, the scene in the living room changed to countless counters of Nen-powered weapons. On those shelves, various Nen-powered weapons were placed, including knives, swords, spears, hammers, wheels, shields, wings... over a hundred kinds, too many to count. Some of these counters were run by teachers who took out items to sell, while others were set up by students themselves. Most were senior students who, after manufacturing Nen-powered weapons, didn't want to sell them to the school and instead sold them on their own.

  Yang Tong looked up carefully.

  Yuhuang Sword: Gold-level, third-grade mental force weapon. The sword body is composed of more than 13,000 fragmented swords, which can be controlled by the owner's mental force to disassemble and reassemble. The sword comes with a built-in secret technique: "Feather Fragmentation". Price: 40 academic points.

  Haiwang Jie: Water-based, Golden-tier, 3rd-grade mental energy weapon. Its entire body has neat and uniform patterns, reducing mental energy consumption by 30%. It can be enlarged or shrunk according to the owner's willpower. Comes with a built-in secret technique: "Water Overflows the Mountains". Price: 45 academic points.

  Heavenly Mallet: Earth-type, Golden-tier, 3rd-grade Mind Force weapon. The mallet itself weighs 3200 pounds and its weight can increase by two to five times depending on the owner's mental strength. No built-in secret techniques. Price: 50 academic points.

  ……………

  There are countless others, but the price is not ordinary expensive! However, the power is not ordinary strong, this is just a third-grade product. Yu Huangdao, Haiwangji and other spiritual weapons, as well as fourth-grade products. These weapons are all imitated from some famous true god's weapons of human beings, each grade has some.

  However, in this school, you can only see those who are fourth-grade and above, and there is no one above that.

  Four-star Feathered Blade can save 50% of mental power consumption, comes with three secret techniques, the first two can be used normally, and the third secret technique requires sufficient foundation.

  Actually, the best mind-force weapon is one that is tailored to oneself. Yang Tong had planned to forge a flying sword for himself, a genuine ancient flying sword, but unfortunately he didn't have the skills for it yet and was thinking about how to do it.

  However, this did not prevent Yang Tong from buying a Mind Power Flying Sword to use. So, he bought a sword at a student-run counter.

  Qingfeng Sword: A gold-series white silver-level mental energy weapon, 2.3 feet long, with two forms of transformation: hand guard and flying sword. The sword itself has a built-in secret technique: sharpness and speed. Price: 20 academic points.

  Don't look at the two secret techniques, in fact, these two secret techniques are auxiliary enhancement-type secret techniques, far inferior to the trigger-type secret technique that is grand and has infinite power.

  Yang Tong paid for the lesson online and in less than half an hour, a young man delivered the sword to Yang Tong's dormitory door.

  "This young fellow, your goods have arrived. After inspecting them, sign your name." The young man said with a smile, "My name is Jian Yi Zhi, if you want to buy Nian Li Bing Qi in the future, welcome to my counter."

  "What year is Senpai in? How many years have you been in school?" Yang Tong asked while inspecting Fei Jian.

  "I'm a seventh-grader, been in school for 25 years, and I've got a master craftsman's certificate in spiritual tool manufacturing. The quality is absolutely guaranteed, no deception to young or old!" He said with a simple self-promotion tone, "You're new here, right?"

  "Yes, how did you know?" Yang Tong asked curiously.

  "Haha, this is easy, this dormitory area is all freshmen, there are more than 460 new students this year. Do you know how many people were in my class when I entered school?" Jian Yi simply put away the receipt and started chatting without leaving.

  "I don't know, tell me more." Yang Tong asked with a curious face.

  "Let me tell you, my batch had over a hundred people, but now, less than fifteen graduated smoothly. Seventy percent were expelled mid-way, and twenty-odd are still stuck in school. I'm telling you, junior brother, cultivation is the most crucial thing. Like me, I spent 25 years in school and only reached Earth Level 7 to smoothly advance to Year 7. And for the entire Year 7, only 135 people have made it in the past 50 years."

  "Fifty years? But why would a school have a three-year vacation system?" Yang Tong asked.

  "I'll tell you, it's not a big deal, you're all new students, the first three years are about earning credits, and actually, credits are the easiest to earn. Ten credits, with some effort, can be earned in half a year. The real challenge is after advancing to the second year, it requires advancing to the third year within three years, otherwise, you'll be eliminated. This step may eliminate many people. After the third year, there won't be batch eliminations anymore, but rather divisions based on strength. Generally, during the end-of-year exams in the third year, the last ten students will be at risk of elimination. If it's a Wu Ling Shi (Martial Spirit Master), they'll basically be eliminated, while if it's a Shen Nian Shi (Divine Year Master) who majors in other professions, their scores in that subject will be evaluated, and if there's progress, they can stay. From the fourth year onwards, from the fourth to sixth years, evaluations are done once every ten years. Seventh to ninth years are evaluated once every thirty years." Jian Yi said casually.
