Chapter 3, Are You Afraid of Background Music?
Did not father say that he is very talented
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the river's eye
Dear Jiang He, in light of your exceptional academic performance, the school has decided to grant you special incentives. Please make sure to participate in the phase sprint event organized by the school on September 15. This event offers substantial rewards, so we kindly ask you to prepare in advance.
This old fox
Jiang He frowned slightly
These chaotic matters did not have any impact on him; he continued to pursue his established goal of preparing to hunt ferocious beasts outside the city
Rivers in contemplation
The rivers sigh endlessly
Practitioners draw the dark energy radiating between heaven and earth into their bodies, transforming it into their own power, and then continuously enhance their strength through the evolution of dark energy
However
Understood
And the rivers are at a radiation level of 10 percent
This lamp
The river shook its head, showing no concern whatsoever
The lights in the classroom suddenly began to flicker in a strange manner
Dark energy propulsion
For example, senior high school students in their third year participate in the phase-based sprint activities held for first-year students.
Where is it
Five minutes later
According to the evolution level of dark energy, cultivation is divided into seven realms
Jianghe feels that something is not quite right
Old Liu, this little rascal refuses to drop out of school no matter what, it seems we need to take some tough measures
Very good
What can cause the maximum damage
The lights in the classroom have started to flicker again
Jiang He took a deep breath
The contact person is the Director of the Academic Affairs Office
A faint light curtain appeared on the smart communication device on Jiang He’s wrist, "Cultivation Realm: Radiative State, 10%."
Although the normal cultivation rate is only 1% per day, if one goes to hunt ferocious beasts...
Jiang He left the weapon shop, holding a dagger that shimmered faintly in his hand, with only the tip measuring an inch possessing a subtle enhancement of dark energy
Fierce beasts, which are also products of mutation that absorb dark energy, can yield a small amount of dark energy when hunted. Although the amount is not significant, it is certainly above normal cultivation levels. However, fierce beasts are exceptionally dangerous, making it too challenging for students, and very few dare to hunt them.
Hmph
With a frown on his brow, Jiang He simply opened his eyes and began to cultivate
Buzz
Jiang He has a slight headache
He Li Ming, furious, smashed several items in the office, his face dark as he glared at the direction in which Jiang He had left. Gritting his teeth, he activated the communicator
... ...
Damn thing
Rest assured, just wait for this spot to be sold for money
It is that old fellow again
As soon as Jiang He arrived at the school gate, he received a notification from the school
Should we contact father
The first layer, radiation state, absorbs dark energy into the body to strengthen itself. The subsequent layers are gaseous, liquid, solid, plasma, supersolid, and neutron states. Through the continuous tempering and transformation by dark energy, it will ultimately evolve into the ultimate form, accommodating all powers
He Liming
Jiang He looked at this scene in astonishment
He Li Ming speaks very unpleasantly
What truly confounds the rivers and lakes is that this periodic activity is designated for the grade level! Only the freshmen of the first year can participate; otherwise, wouldn't it be bullying for the second and third-year students to join?
Let go of that feeling as soon as possible
Old fellow, be careful not to drop a stone on your own foot when lifting it
Ding——
Jiang He was taken aback
Try again
At this moment, in a self-study room for the third year of high school, Jiang He was cultivating, with an almost imperceptible energy surrounding him. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes
In the projection of the communication device, Lao Liu said coldly, "I will handle the school board's side. If he comes in last again this time, hehe."
It is a bit slow
After ten minutes, Jiang He finally figured out what was going on. Inside him, there was a strange dark halo, which was what set him apart from others. Whenever he practiced, the dark halo would slowly rotate, and at that moment, the surrounding lights would flicker eerily
So what
Jiang He sneered, "Since I have not practiced, how could I occupy the school's resources? The training room and the practice room, I have never been to, so what resources have I occupied?"
You ... ...
He Liming was trembling with anger
Forget it, if I get tricked by him one more time, it will be even worse. I might as well find a way on my own... Yesterday, it seems I boasted quite a bit, claiming I would strive to enter the Chensheng Academy or something like that
Jiang He sneered, "Ever since I received the lowest score in the entire school for the first time, you have been constantly persuading me to drop out, merely because you could sell my admission spot. Did you really think I was unaware of this? For the past two years, I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to you, and you actually believed yourself to be someone important?"
Ultimately, He Liming still wants to expel Jiang He
It seems necessary to take a trip outside the city
He Li Ming stared gloomily at the river.
They agree, but the parents of the new students are likely to disagree
He had thought of many things before, but it seems that the only thing he did not consider was the price
Stepping onto the path of cultivation, Jiang He energetically began his training. The insights gained from the initial stages of cultivation did not trouble him with dark energy; however, his rate of progress was quite concerning. After ten days of cultivation, his dark energy increased by 10%, which means an average daily growth of 1%
The river slowly absorbed, and suddenly the lights in the entire classroom flickered, resembling the flickering of an old fluorescent lamp under the influence of a ballast, which was quite eerie
According to a daily increase of 1%, it will take 100 days to reach a radiation state of 100%, and then it will require additional time for the 'phase transition' to occur before breaking into a gaseous state
Try again
The river fundamentally disregards him, "My father is a scientist. According to the regulations, I am entitled to attend high school for free for three years. You do not have the qualification or the right to expel me."
Hmm?
You ... ...
Fierce beasts are mutated monsters of dark energy, and ordinary weapons are completely ineffective; only weapons empowered by dark energy are effective
Isn't this already outrageous? This senior student not only ranked last but also allowed the freshmen to humiliate him thoroughly. In such circumstances, will the school still retain this student?
Jiang He let out a cold laugh and left the school
You are overthinking it
Your statement has a logical flaw
Has the school changed the event to a grade-level activity
The summer vacation has ended, and the school year has already begun for a few days.
The river opened its eyes, and the lights instantly returned to normal
The cultivation of dark energy requires the gradual guidance of dark energy into the body, which necessitates complete concentration and introspection to achieve success. Practicing with one's eyes open? That is sheer nonsense! However, for Jiang He, his research on dark energy over the past two years has not been in vain; although it may take a bit longer, guiding it into the body is fundamentally not a problem.
This scoundrel of a father!
He Liming is pleased, young man, you are refusing the drink offered and instead choosing the punishment drink. Originally, I intended to let you withdraw from school properly, but since you do not wish to play along, then let you withdraw with humiliation.
Jiang He, you ranked last in the school's entrance assessment again.
Just now... it seems there was some movement
Jiang He frowned slightly
He has been cultivating for several days, yet he has not noticed such a bizarre scene during his practice. Could this be what his father referred to as the talent for cultivation?
This is ... ...
Jiang He abruptly ceased his cultivation and noticed something amiss
However, some preparations need to be made before this
This speed is not considered poor, and is even above average; however, for him, it is far from sufficient
Sanhe No. 1 Middle School
Ding——
In the past, the worst graduates from the third year of high school were at least at the gaseous level, which is the school's prestigious hallmark! Nowadays, the renowned Sanhe No. 1 High School surprisingly has such poor students. It's one thing to be at the bottom of the class in the third year, but to be at the bottom in the first year as well? Will my own son end up like this in the future?
All students in their final year of high school are diligently training, with the combat training rooms and dark energy training rooms bustling with people, reflecting the distinctive characteristics of the era
With a raised eyebrow, Jiang He arrived at the Academic Affairs Office
Isn't it reasonable for He Liming to strongly demand his own dismissal? ... Wait ... ... Dismissal. ... ... Jiang He suddenly understood that He Liming was looking for an excuse to get himself dismissed! Because the school regulations state that he cannot dismiss Jiang He, but what if Jiang He truly brings too much shame to the school?
Brush!
He Liming sneered, "Do you really think I have no way to deal with you? I will definitely make you withdraw from school!"
Brush!
Jiang He has once again entered a state of cultivation
Bow and arrow? Their power is weak, but they have a long range, making it easy to shoot a fierce beast in the face. Wooden stick? Its length is sufficient, but it always feels lacking in hardness and cannot endure for long. As I walked and pondered, Jiang He soon arrived at the weapon shop. The weapon shop in the city is quite large, dazzling the eyes of those who look at it
Jiang He feels that seeking help now is too cowardly
He Liming did not expect Jiang He to dare to retort, and in a fit of anger, said, "Good! What a sharp-tongued fellow you are. Today, I will expel you on behalf of the school."
This is the Age of Shadows
The river was filled with indignation. Ever since the last time his test scores were sabotaged, and after that night of smoking and cursing, he felt that this old man was not as refined as he had imagined. Perhaps he was just out to deceive him again
He certainly knows about the phased sprint activities
Leaving the classroom, Jiang He was preparing to leave the school when his wrist communicator vibrated, and a message popped up: "Jiang He, get your ass to the Academic Affairs Office immediately!"
We shall wait and see
The river left with a cold smile
Hmm?
He Li Ming became furious out of humiliation
This is a special event organized by the school to motivate students, with generous rewards
His current state is a radiation level of 10%, which means his physical enhancement is only at 10%. Although this is significantly stronger than before he began his training, it is still impossible for him to defeat the ferocious beasts. Therefore, he at least needs a weapon, a weapon capable of injuring monsters
Brush!
Of course, none of these are issues
The rivers fell silent
The school does not support waste, especially you pests who have ranked last in the entire school for three consecutive years, and still have not made any progress with a score of zero. What qualifications do you have to occupy the school's resources? The school's resources are meant to serve talented and diligent students. If you do not wish to study, it would be better for you to withdraw from school as soon as possible
This is even more costly than scientific research
This is extremely disappointing
This matter is not right
zzzzzz
If it were during the time he was just running errands, it would be one thing; he would actually welcome being dismissed. Now that he has decided to cultivate himself, how could he possibly be inferior to these first-year students?
The hearts of those who cut down rivers and mountains have all been hardened
Once public opinion ferments, it can only be executed in special circumstances.
He has been scolding Jiang He for a full two years, yet every time Jiang He merely lowers his head in silence, not uttering a word, and leaves once he finishes scolding, leaving him at a loss. He never expected that now Jiang He would actually dare to retort.
The activity is divided into five stages, with one stage per month. In the first stage, only students with a radiation level of 0% - 20% are eligible to participate. In the second stage, only students with a radiation level of 20% - 40% are eligible to participate. Similarly, in the fifth stage, only students with a radiation level of 80% - 100% are eligible to participate
A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle is waiting there with a gloomy expression; he is He Liming, the director of the Academic Affairs Office at Sanhe Yizhong.
Cultivation, to put it simply, is evolution
He gave up his dream of becoming a top scientist, just for this talent that comes with its own background music and lighting effects? Should he buy another row of heat lamps to shine on him from behind
After specifically contacting the school's consultation office for inquiries, Jiang He received an answer. This was due to the principal's understanding of the students, who strongly requested during a school meeting to give Jiang He another chance to participate in the interim activities, hoping that Jiang He could appreciate the principal's earnest intentions and study diligently
He had been secretly engaged in the sale of admission spots, but unexpectedly, a student saw through his intentions, leading to a complete breakdown in their relationship.
The river has made a decision in its heart
Jiang He directly entered a state of cultivation
This is a complete learning progress chain, where those who can participate each time and achieve good results are the most outstanding talents in the school
