Chapter 64: The Name of Genius

  A freshman who had just been promoted to the second grade for a short time, unexpectedly left all the old students of the second grade behind. They knew that Yang Tong's cultivation had reached the third level of the Earth Realm, and as long as he passed the other subjects' exams, he would be able to advance to the third grade smoothly. Moreover, having achieved the third-level cultivation of the Earth Realm, he had already surpassed all the students in the second grade.

  "What kind of person is this Yang Tong?"

  "Pervert, what a pervert! This progress speed is also too fast, isn't it?"

  In the second year, some arrogant people were not convinced. They frantically collected information about Yang Tong. After seeing this information, they had to lower their proud heads. This kind of promotion speed was not something they could compare with. Entering school for less than a year and being promoted two levels, comparing themselves to such an abnormality would only bring trouble to themselves.

  Some students who liked gossip treated the news as a topic of conversation after dinner, and Yang Tong's reputation became more and more popular without realizing it. Whether it was first-year or second-year students, they all recognized Yang Tong's name as a genius. This reputation even spread to third-year students, and many third-year students also heard about Yang Tong's reputation.

  "Master, please go to the study room, a school representative is looking for you." 3170 suddenly spoke up.

  "Alright." Yang Tong entered the study room, and the holographic virtual mode was activated.

  Director Huang's virtual image appeared, and he looked at Yang Tong and said: "Young man, congratulations on breaking through the third level of the earth. When do you plan to advance to the third grade?"

  "I'm sure you're aware that the higher your grade, the more resources are allocated to you. I advise you not to stay in lower grades for too long. At the end of each academic year, the school evaluates your performance and awards learning points accordingly. As freshmen, you start receiving these points from your second year onwards. The higher your grade, the more points you receive as a reward. For instance, if you remain in your second year, you might only get 400 learning points at the end of the year, but if you advance to your third year, you'll get twice that amount by the end of the year. This is because your progress has been rapid and your performance evaluation has been exceptionally outstanding." Principal Huang said calmly, "In fact, ninety percent of the school's resources are concentrated in the higher grades."

  Yang Tong listened and was indeed shocked, nodding his head: "I understand, but I need a lot of time to study the theory of spiritual artifacts, and it's really hard to allocate time."

  "Heh heh heh...... You little brat, I can make an exception and let you skip the quarterly assessment, but at the end of the year evaluation, your overall score must not be lower than super excellent. Even if it's just excellent, you will still have this privilege revoked. How about that?" Director Huang had lived for so many years, how could he not guess what Yang Tong was getting at? However, the school's educational approach is centered around a small number of elites, and talented students already have some privileges in school.

  "Thanks for Director Huang's accommodation." Yang Tong also didn't mention any other requirements.

  "Alright, that's it." Director Huang was about to end the call.

  "Wait a minute, Director Huang, I want to apply for an assessment." Yang Tong suddenly spoke up.

  "Assessment? Have you already finished learning the theoretical knowledge of the second grade?" Director Huang said in surprise, three months is a very tight schedule to learn theory, because the theoretical knowledge of the second grade is deeper and more than that of the first grade. While learning the theory of spiritual tool manufacturing, he also has to cultivate his skills, which makes Director Huang look at him with new eyes.

  "Very well, if you can pass, I'll be in charge and your reward will be doubled again! I'll arrange the exam." Director Huang nodded heavily in response.

  Director Huang had no idea that Yang Tong's energy for the past three months was all focused on studying and only a couple of hours were spent on cultivation.

  Yang Tong easily passed the theory exam.

  "Yang Tong successfully advanced to the third year, becoming the fastest newcomer to advance to the third year since the founding of Luoxing Branch. The school will reward Yang Tong with 1,500 academic points. We hope that all first-year students will work hard and become the next ones to advance to the third year."

  The first day of the second-grade quarterly assessment had just ended, and the exhausted students had just returned to their dormitory when they received this notice, leaving all second-grade students stunned.

  At the same time, the old students in Grade 3 also received a notice: "Yang Tong, a new student in Grade 2, has been promoted to Grade 3. This is to inform you."

  Third-year students, most of whom have been in school for more than six years, have already learned the theoretical knowledge they should have learned. More energy is spent on advancing to the fourth grade, otherwise they will face the fate of being eliminated.

  The Earth Level Three advances to the Earth Level Four, with a difficulty that is even higher than advancing from the Earth Level One to the Earth Level Three. In the ancient civilization of Xian, this marks the peak breakthrough from the initial stage of foundation building to the intermediate stage of foundation building.

  So the seniors of the third grade, generally speaking, are much more stable than the freshmen and sophomores. For them, a new student who has just been promoted is not worthy of their attention at all. All their energy is focused on practicing and breaking through, some even choose to go out for life-and-death exercises instead of staying in the dormitory, hoping to break through the bottleneck.

  Third-grade students are still learning the theory of spiritual tools, but it is the most profound and mysterious subject of law and secret patterns. This subject is the most difficult one in the entire spiritual tool manufacturing profession. Therefore, for third-year students who choose to major in spiritual tool manufacturing, as long as they have a basic understanding of this subject, it will be enough, and this subject will accompany all spiritual tool masters throughout their lives. Therefore, the only requirement for third-year students majoring in spiritual tool manufacturing to advance to the fourth year is to break through the fourth level of the earth.

  To facilitate students' breakthroughs, the school's martial arts arena is fully open to students. In addition, they can also apply for outdoor training.

  Even the new course added to the entire third grade is a wilderness training course. Humans live in cities, and outside human cities, it's an endless barbaric world. In the depths of the barbaric land, there are heavenly materials and treasures everywhere. After closing oneself off for cultivation to a certain extent, one must go out and gain experience. Every strong person has emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

  In the midst of human society, within cities, it is rare to find masters above the earthly level. True masters rarely stay in cities for long periods of time. Generally, they choose to stay in the wilderness because there are free resources, countless opportunities, and an endless expanse of untamed lands that are truly the world of cultivators.

  That world has no ordinary people, only cultivators.

  Yang Tong saw these materials and once again overturned his understanding of this continent. Apparently, this world was far from being as simple as he had imagined.

  The school only distributes these materials in the third grade, mainly to let students have a clear understanding of the barbaric world first, and make psychological preparations. If they get stuck at a bottleneck and can't break through, then entering this master's world may be the only way to collide with fate.
