Chapter 13 Sweeping Up Academic Points_2
Li Fei took the steel knife and nodded to Zhao Ping:
"Student understands."
"You may begin now."
Zhao Ping said to Li Fei.
Li Fei then stepped forward towards Zhao Ping and swung a diagonal cut, executing the Rolling Thunder Style.
Almost simultaneously, Zhao Ping made the same diagonal cut, and the two blades fiercely collided mid-way.
Clang—
Sparks flew, and a notch appeared on each of their blades.
Zhao Ping flicked his wrist subtly, dissipating the vibration force from the Rolling Thunder Style effortlessly before turning the blade towards Li Fei's chest.
Li Fei nearly at the same moment adapted his move, his blade sticking close to Zhao Ping's, pushing it forward!
"Good!"
Zhao Ping's eyes brightened, praising the Pushing Mountain Style that Li Fei connected with.
He immediately rotated his wrist, lifting his arm upward and positioning the blade vertically in front of him, ultimately blocking Li Fei's oncoming blade. The two steel knives crossed vertically and horizontally, once again friction sparking another burst of sparks.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."
Li Fei withdrew his knife and took a step back, bowing to Zhao Ping.
It was only then that the dozen or so students watching gasped in admiration.
The exchange had taken place in the blink of an eye, with rapid movements and even faster changes!
Before they could react, the two had already dismantled each other's moves twice.
Li Fei had forced Zhao Ping, who specialized in teaching saber technique, to withdraw and defend with just two moves!
It wasn't that Zhao Ping's saber skills were lacking, but under conditions where speed and strength were similar and neither could use Innate Qi or Force, it wasn't so easy to overpower Li Fei with saber skills alone.
After all, Li Fei had been trained by Hao Yi for so long; he wouldn't fail a basic assessment.
Furthermore, though they were not supposed to use Extraordinary Abilities, during their exchange, Li Fei had still utilized "Danger Perception," which allowed him to pass the assessment within two moves.
"My course, you've passed the assessment. Hand me your student ID."
Zhao Ping said to Li Fei.
Li Fei handed over his student ID with both hands.
Zhao Ping went to the side, noted down a line on Li Fei's student ID, and added 8 points.
His basic saber technique class, once passed, rewarded 8 Academic Points.
With the 8 points in hand, Li Fei proceeded to his next destination.
Soon, he arrived at another training ground.
It was the venue for a practical combat class.
The instructor of the class was also a distinguished lecturer, and this course was specifically aimed at Martial Artists in the Body Breaking Stage. Martial Masters or Refining Strength Martial Masters would have to attend different practical combat classes.
This was why Li Fei wasn't rushing to "Breakthrough."
He planned to earn all possible credits during the Martial Artist phase!
"Hello, teacher, may I apply for the assessment?"
Li Fei approached the distinguished lecturer teaching the Martial Artist Practical Combat Class and asked.
The lecturer agreed to Li Fei's assessment request quite straightforwardly.
The assessment for this practical combat class was simple; Li Fei had to withstand ten moves from the instructor to pass.
This distinguished lecturer would also restrain his power to the Martial Artist level, though he would use Extraordinary Abilities.
The assessment started quickly, and facing the distinguished lecturer who possessed a Mutant Attribute Thunder Attribute Implant, Li Fei, relying on his "Overlord Body," endured the thunder attacks and, coupled with "Danger Perception" for defense, successfully withstood ten moves and passed the assessment.
After passing this practical combat class assessment, Li Fei got another 12 Academic Points.
Thus, Li Fei had earned a total of 20 Academic Points in one day!
At 6 PM that evening, the Academic Points leaderboard updated.
The students were surprised to find Li Fei's ranking had shot up significantly, from 87th place to 29th!
For new students, passing the course assessments typically took at least a year and a half, even if they were specially admitted students with substantial capabilities. Yet no one could pass these assessments as easily as Li Fei did.
However, Li Fei's 'sweeping for points' was far from over.
The next morning, he still attended Mo Yizhou's poison class.
After class, he waited for over 20 minutes then entered another classroom.
This classroom was for the course "Gold Attribute Implant Control Explained," led by a First Level lecturer and aimed specifically at Martial Artists in the Body Breaking Stage.
"Li Fei?"
The instructor, a woman in her thirties, smiled when she saw Li Fei enter the classroom.
"Good day, Instructor Zhou."
Li Fei greeted her respectfully.
Zhou Qian looked at Li Fei with interest, "Are you here to apply for the evaluation?"
"Yes."
Li Fei nodded.
At this point, the other students in the classroom were all buzzing with excitement.
Many of them had been discussing this legendary freshman yesterday, and today they got to see him up close.
"Okay, is your Implant a Second Grade top class steel armor?"
Zhou Qian continued to inquire.
Li Fei nodded, "Yes."
"Wow, Second Grade top class!"
"No wonder he's so formidable!"
There was another round of discussion among the students in the classroom.
"Alright, quiet."
Zhou Qian asked everyone else to quiet down, then looked at Li Fei with a smile,
"My course evaluation is quite simple. If you can manage to control your Implant and activate your Extraordinary Ability ten times under strong interference, you will pass the evaluation. Your Implant is Second Grade top class, so the interference will also be stronger. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Instructor."
Li Fei saluted Zhou Qian, "Please start the evaluation."
Zhou Qian nodded in satisfaction, took out a medicine bottle from the drawer, and handed it to Li Fei:
"These are Gold Erosion Pills. Take five of them, wait for five minutes, and then you can start."
Hearing this, the students in the classroom couldn't sit still again:
"Damn, taking five at once? That's harsh!"
"Does Instructor Zhou have a beef with Li Fei?"
"Taking five Gold Erosion Pills, who can still control their Implant properly?"
"....."
Many of these present students had tried to pass the evaluation before, and without exception, all had failed.
Gold Erosion Pills are a medicine that creates severe interference with Gold Attribute Implants. Even taking one pill can cause many martial artists at the Body Breaking Stage to 'lose all their martial skills,' let alone taking five at once!
Therefore, many of the students felt that Zhou Qian might have some issues with Li Fei, which is why she deliberately set such a difficult evaluation.
Zhou Qian glared at the other students, silencing them instantly, as they feared that they might have to take five Gold Erosion Pills during their own evaluations in the future.
Li Fei, undeterred, picked up the medicine bottle on the table, poured out five Gold Erosion Pills, and swallowed them in one go.
Then he stood still, waiting for five minutes for the medicine to take effect.
He could have used the Myriad Blood Pearl to absorb the medicine's effects immediately; even if he took fifty pills, it wouldn't affect him.
However, he wanted to see the true level of his control over the Implant, so he willingly disconnected from the Myriad Blood Pearl.
Five minutes later, Li Fei, sensing that his steel armor had entered a Frenzy state, took a deep breath and began to activate Overlord Body.
If normally activating Overlord Body was as simple as lifting a cup to drink water, now the "cup" had become heavier, and his hand was trembling uncontrollably, somewhat disobedient.
But this still didn't pose a problem for Li Fei.
He successfully activated Overlord Body, and after the time for Overlord Body expired, he continued to activate it repeatedly, ten times in total.
Having accomplished his Breakthrough in the way of Breaking Heart Barrier, Li Fei's Mind Power far exceeded martial masters of the same realm, so his control over the Implant was naturally just as superior. Therefore, such an evaluation was not difficult for him.
"Very good."
Watching Li Fei smoothly complete the evaluation, Zhou Qian nodded in satisfaction.
She had made Li Fei take five Gold Erosion Pills on purpose, wanting to see to what extent this much-acclaimed prodigy could achieve.
"It seems you are not far from a Breakthrough. Congratulations."
Zhou Qian told Li Fei.
After speaking, she made Li Fei give her his student ID card and recorded 15 Academic Points on it.
Today, Li Fei earned another 15 Academic Points!
He left Zhou Qian's classroom and moved on to the next one...
