Chapter 0006 Can He Lift His Own Shoes?

Extraordinary beings soar through the skies and traverse the earth, akin to the endless emergence of talents in a prosperous era. The Earth is also home to a vast array of spiritual plants and precious medicines. These spiritual plants and precious medicines can be refined into elixirs, enabling extraordinary beings to enhance their cultivation more easily and to break through realms with greater ease. They can even revive the dead and restore flesh and bones. When one's lifespan is nearing its end, a longevity elixir can extend life by several decades.

Yu Feihuang was momentarily stunned, but a few seconds later burst into laughter, pointing at Su Heng with a laugh, "Don't joke around, buddy. You signed up, and let's not mention theoretical knowledge; you're not too bad in that regard. But how many types of techniques do you actually master? I heard you haven't grasped basic techniques like Light Technique, Temperature Change Technique, or Earth Separation Technique because you lack talent. Did you really come to sign up? Are you trying to amuse us on purpose, to entertain the public?"

Ranking in the top three across all grades, and more than fifty points apart? This is not just a small difference

Thus, you can see the preciousness of the elixir

Su Heng nodded, as he was aware of this rule

Yu Feihuang's tone was filled with a sense of jest, clearly mocking a classmate who had better looks and physique than him, yet was overshadowed by his superior academic performance

However, in the extraordinary world, even powerful alchemists do not dare to offend formidable spirit wood masters, because no matter how proficient you are in alchemy, you still need raw materials... Relying solely on what is naturally provided is insufficient. The naturally occurring spiritual plants and precious medicines have long been consumed to extinction, with trillions of gluttons present, the Earth simply cannot withstand such exploitation

Can you wake up a little? What is this? This is the All-Star League of the University Students of the Great Ming Empire. Even if you are signing up to compete for a spot on the school team, it is still a goal contested by countless elite scholars.

There is no love or hatred without reason in this world. He has a deep impression of Su Heng; it cannot be shallow. All the girls in the department, including some senior sisters, often compare him with Su Heng. However, in his heart, Su Heng is nothing significant. In terms of cultivation, strength, or theoretical knowledge, can he even hold a candle to him? Yet, so many girls frequently make comparisons between them, and sometimes some girls even prefer Su Heng, believing that he is superior to Yu Feihuang. He feels like throwing up and wants to ask those foolish girls if they are sick! Yet, so many girls frequently make comparisons between them, and sometimes some girls even prefer Su Heng, believing that he is superior to Yu Feihuang. He feels like throwing up and wants to ask those foolish girls if they are sick!

What is practical experience? Given a half-dead spiritual plant, you are tasked with healing it; given an injured spiritual plant, you are to restore its condition. No matter how rich your theoretical knowledge from books may be, if your cultivation or techniques are insufficient, you can only stare helplessly.

With Li Yalin's explanation, Guo Zhanpeng also awakened from his confusion and looked at Su Heng with a strange expression, "Ahem, Su Heng, theoretically, all enrolled students can register, but..."

Guo Zhanpeng looked at him again, and after a few dozen seconds, he could only smile wryly, "I will help you register"

It is precisely for this reason that the elites of the Spirit Wood system are selected from the best of the best, and the competition is extremely fierce. This competition encompasses not only theoretical knowledge from texts and books but also practical experience and real combat.

In the past, there was no opportunity to find a way to deal with Su Heng, but now that such a good opportunity has arisen, Yu Feihuang is overjoyed and foolishly happy

Cultivation Level: Third Stage of Spiritual Transformation

At the Lingmu Office Building, as Su Heng arrived outside his advisor's office, he saw two figures emerge from the office: one was his advisor, Guo Zhanpeng, and the other was the beautiful and fashionable figure of Li Yalin, the top student of Class 1

Comprehensive evaluation: theoretical knowledge 95, practical ability 96

He acted purely out of goodwill to spare Su Heng from being hurt; what teacher does not care for their good and obedient students

He is not only more handsome than the ordinary young man Bai Gu from his previous life, with a striking facial contour, but he also possesses the qualities of an evolved being with considerable strength. His skin is almost free of blemishes, acne, or scars, which is an advantage brought about by the evolution of life forms. Coupled with his height of 1.9 meters, long legs, and an eight-pack abdomen, Su Heng's appearance is simply irresistible to young girls

The future prospects of the Spirit Wood system are bright, as it is a rare talent in the extraordinary world

Teacher Guo, I would like to sign up for the All-Star League to compete for a spot on the university team one year above. He did not hold back and expressed his intention decisively

As the words settled, Guo Zhanpeng nodded, "Su Heng is here to register."

At this moment, Guo Zhanpeng rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, if you insist, I will help you register. I will also explain the specific process to you. The name will be submitted, and seven days later, our freshman competition will officially commence. The event is divided into two segments: a theoretical knowledge competition and a practical contest."

His words were devoid of any politeness, openly mocking and unrelenting

Theoretical knowledge is also the same for her, putting Su Heng at a disadvantage.

She found it so amusing to suddenly see Su Heng also signing up

The practical exercise will assign topics to you in the afternoon of the same day, where you will directly engage in the treatment or rehabilitation of injured or damaged spiritual plants. Everyone will have the same topic, and the total score will also be 100

... ...

Teacher Guo, Yalin, Su... Su Heng? At that moment, a figure appeared at the corner of the corridor, tall and handsome, with looks and physique only slightly inferior to Su Heng. He is also one of the male idols in the hearts of all the girls in the department. Many times, he is more popular than Su Heng, because this young man named Yu Feihuang is only 18 years old this year, and he ranks second in the entire department.

In comparison, Li Yalin has reached the triple peak of spiritual refinement and has mastered more than ten types of techniques, among which seven or eight are essential for cultivating spiritual plants, highlighting a significant gap between her and Su Heng

She did not intentionally reveal it; she simply could not help herself and instinctively laughed out loud

After watching, Su Heng's eyelids twitched slightly. Li Yalin, a light beauty, mastered more than a dozen techniques, all at least of ordinary level 0 or above. Her knowledge in various disciplines? She is proficient in all of them! Before Su Heng obtained the system, she was undoubtedly the little goddess who overshadowed him in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Su Heng nodded to Li Yalin and then looked at Guo Zhanpeng, who was very polite, "Su Heng, what brings you to see me?"

Guo Zhanpeng, who was smiling, looked somewhat bewildered, and Li Yalin was also momentarily taken aback. After a brief pause, she let out a laugh, and only after laughing did she awkwardly wave her hand, saying, "I’m sorry, I... I... didn’t mean it that way"

Guo Zhanpeng found Su Heng's behavior amusing, yet Su Heng was undeniably a model student. His appearance even made Guo, as a man, involuntarily feel a sense of fondness. Su Heng's temperament and character were the kind that brought the least worry. Guo was reluctant to see this exemplary student easily eliminated after registration, becoming a laughingstock for others, as the psychological impact on him would be quite significant.

Li Yalin also saw Su Heng. Although she was a top student, consistently ranking third in her entire department, she still took the initiative to smile at Su Heng, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of excitement, "Su Heng?"

Upon thinking of this, Su Heng also became curious and instructed the system to assess the capabilities of Li Yalin, the top student in the entire department. He wanted to see what kind of gap existed between himself and Li Yalin

The evolutionary direction of the Spirit Wood system

With more of these experiences, every time he sees Su Heng, he can't help but want to stir up some trouble. However, Yu Feihuang does not believe that Su Heng is here to sign up; this guy shouldn't be that foolish. What he says is meant to provoke him deliberately

Su Heng still wore a calm expression, "I understand that Teacher Guo means well, but I would like to give it a try. Failing is not a big deal; at that time, I will also be able to see just how great the gap is between myself and others"

Skill: Wood God Technique (Grade 3)

The theoretical knowledge competition involves randomly selecting a set of questions from all subjects in the Department of Lingmu for students from the first to the fourth year. The total score is 100, with a time limit of two hours, and rankings are based on the scores.

... ...

I am not rejecting your application; I am suggesting that you be more rational. This way, it will not be embarrassing for you later on

When Feihuang approached, he greeted several people cheerfully. Upon reaching Su Heng, he was surprised and laughed, saying, "What brings you here at this time? I mean, you wouldn't be thinking of signing up, would you?"

As it stands, in the past year, Li Yalin has participated in various assessments and examinations, achieving at most third place. The top two positions in the Lingmu department are occupied by exceptionally talented students, which has left her feeling somewhat despondent. This time, she merely hopes to compete; if she loses, so be it, as long as she has no regrets in her heart

The individual with the highest total score in the two segments will be the reserve member of the freshman team. In the event that the first and second total scores are the same, the selection will be based on who took the least amount of time between the two.

This not only represents the uniqueness of a single grade, but also signifies the four years of undergraduate study. If you can join the school team in your freshman year, how terrifying must your potential be? Even if you lose in your freshman year, and lose your first match, you can still compete in your sophomore and junior years. Once you succeed, you will undoubtedly become a super seed, a treasure of the entire department

Target for investigation: Li Yalin

It must be said that Su Heng's appearance is somewhat astonishing

The top ten in the grade are all those who combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice. Among the most outstanding individuals, according to Li Yalin, Su Hengtai possesses dual talents in both spiritual and practical aspects, yet he has not mastered the most crucial Wood God Technique of the Wood Element, and his application of it is rather unskilled. Is he here to compete as a joke?

An existence whose cultivation and mastery of techniques are quite ordinary, at least in comparison to the top ten or twenty scholars across all disciplines, is considered average. At this moment, participating in the competition would appear to others as an overestimation of one's abilities, akin to the posture of a clown.

It can be said that the sole quota for the first year is still the most fiercely contested.
