Chapter 778: [(589)] Pei Jinye, unleash your true S-level Potential! (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_1 Chapter 778: [(589)] Pei Jinye, unleash your true S-level Potential! (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_1 On April 24 at 1 p.m., Pei Jinye met not only the teacher from Wu University’s admissions office who had come from the Eastern Continent but also the other two students who had secured research training spots.
One of them was Luo Yizhou.
Although they knew each other, they both pretended to be strangers.
The other was a girl who seemed rather aloof. When Pei Jinye saw them, the girl didn’t even take off her mask, nor did she respond verbally to Pei Jinye’s greeting. It was as if she and Luo Yizhou had just had an argument before arriving in Da Peng City.
According to the admissions officer, Ai Weitian, the girl’s last name was Xu, and she lived in Dawn Tower.
That was all he said.
But Pei Jinye knew too much about Central State.
Ever since officials from the Cui Min System started falling from grace over the past couple of months, key positions in Central State had nearly all fallen into King’s Rule’s hands.
The newly appointed Chief of Central State Night Patrol Department was named Xu, with a daughter called Xu Wanxiao.
Comparing with the intelligence database, it was obvious he was referring to her.
…
“There will be a preliminary test before you officially enter the school. This way, we can get a clearer understanding of you newcomers,” said Ai Weitian.
No sooner had Ai Weitian finished speaking,
than Luo Yizhou asked, “What will the preliminary test cover?”
Xu Wanxiao turned her head to look at Luo Yizhou but said nothing.
All they heard was Ai Weitian laughing and saying, “Don’t worry, it’s just a normal individual ability test. The purpose of this preliminary test is to get an idea of where you stand and then to sort you into classes.”
“Sort us into classes? Separating the strong from the weak?” Xu Wanxiao rarely spoke up, and her voice was cold, though it lacked the unintentional chill of Ice Sister’s.
Anyone unaware would think she’d just been dumped, her face was so sour.
“Yes, there will be sorting into classes,” Ai Weitian nodded and said, “It’s undeniable that those who make it into the research class are all elites, but even among elites there are levels of strength. In the research class, only those in the elite class will have access to higher-end resources. Of course, all teaching resources are the same, but the elite class gets more, and that’s beyond question.”
The principle of survival of the fittest was clear to them.
Luo Yizhou showed some interest, while Xu Wanxiao fell into thought.
In truth, both of them felt somewhat insecure.
This year, the research class included an Extraordinary Fifth Rank.
They were only at the Extraordinary Third Rank now.
Especially for Xu Wanxiao, who had just reached the Extraordinary Third Rank a month ago.
Strictly speaking, her foundation was probably the weakest.
At this thought,
Xu Wanxiao’s heart sank.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked towards Pei Jinye.
Before coming here, she had investigated information on both Pei Jinye and Luo Yizhou.
To be honest, she was more interested in Pei Jinye.
A commoner who had achieved the Extraordinary Third Rank through his own efforts.
That was a talent others could only envy.
However, she didn’t think that Pei Jinye would be able to make it into the elite class in the upcoming assessment.
When it came to resources, a commoner could never compete with the progeny of the privileged class.
At this thought,
Xu Wanxiao looked at Pei Jinye with a touch more sympathy, which she quickly pushed out of her mind.
She was only concerned about herself.
Ai Weitian looked at the three of them, seeing the expressions on their faces.
Frankly speaking,
the composure of Pei Jinye was a bit unexpected to him.
The S-level Potential evaluation had made him well-known among the academic institutions.
There aren’t many S-level students each year,
especially those from his kind of background, even less so.
From last November’s Federation ranking to now, Dragon City martial arts university had been continuously interested in Pei Jinye.
Joining the Investigation Team and acquiring cultivation materials was a good strategy.
However, Pei Jinye had not shown much impressive performance in his consecutive actions, raising doubts about whether his potential was exhausted.
If Pei Jinye could not demonstrate his worth in the upcoming preliminary test, his future achievements might be limited to Da Peng City.
Ai Weitian didn’t keep his gaze on Pei Jinye. As someone from the admissions office, he didn’t need to offend these talents, simply creating a good relationship was enough.
Seeing the worry on Xu Wanxiao’s face and the seriousness on Luo Yizhou’s face, he smiled and said, “To be honest, you don’t need to worry. It’s normal to have high and low rankings in the assessment, and it’s not as if once you get into the elite class in this preliminary exam you can rest on your laurels.
At our Dragon City martial arts university’s research class, regular preliminary tests are conducted. It’s also a reminder for everyone never to assume that others will stand still. Only through hard work and diligence can you gain access to more resources.”
Xu Wanxiao’s expression relaxed slightly, “Are evaluations held regularly?”
Ai Weitian nodded, “Let me give you a heads up–if possible, give it your all. Our Dragon City martial arts university has the most training resources among all institutions, and they’re even more effective than what you might imagine.”
He noticed Xu Wanxiao appearing skeptical.
Ai Weitian wasn’t upset and took out a metallic sphere from his bosom.
He gently turned a knob.
Almost instantly.
A refreshing fragrance pervaded the air.
The expressions of Luo Yizhou and Xu Wanxiao changed dramatically on the spot.
“This is!!!”
“My Breathing Method started operating on its own!!!”
Pei Jinye remained impassive.
He subtly glanced at his attribute panel.
The Three Attribute Values had increased by 3 points each.
It was just a pity he couldn’t continue increasing them, as Ai Weitian had already tightened the metal lid.
“Teacher Ai, what is this?” Pei Jinye was the first to ask.
“Curious, aren’t you?” Seeing even Pei Jinye’s interest, Ai Weitian had a hard time hiding a smile and said heartily, “This is a Yuanli Bead. You all haven’t heard of it, have you? With this bead, your training speed will increase.”
“Does everyone in the advanced classes get one?” Luo Yizhou asked in a deep voice.
Ai Weitian looked at him but shook his head, “No, only the elite classes have them. Yuanli Beads are consumables; once used up, they need to be replaced. This one is just an example. Once you’re in the advanced classes, you will understand. There are many treasures in this world that are not impossible to find.”
Both Luo Yizhou and Xu Wanxiao were visibly shaken.
“Teacher Ai, if… I mean, if, after two years of training, is it possible for us to reach Extraordinary Fourth Rank?”
“Extraordinary Fourth Rank?” Ai Weitian looked at the two, gave a light smile, shook his head, and spoke with inherent pride, “Do you know how few people from across the Five Continents can enter our Dragon City martial arts university’s research meetings? Let me put it this way, just being able to join the research meetings already proves your potential. If after two years of training you haven’t reached Extraordinary Fourth Rank, then that would be our failure. Of course, those who can’t endure hardship and drop out on their own don’t count.”
Xu Wanxiao’s expression was clearly shocked again, “Advancing one rank in two years… that speed is already quite fast.”
Ai Weitian nodded, “For those Awakeners out in the world, some can advance a rank in a short timespan of one or two years, but many more require three to five years to have a chance of breaking through one rank. But you are different.”
He looked at Xu Wanxiao, then turned to Pei Jinye and Luo Yizhou, “Firstly, just being selected to join us already proves your potential. In addition, with the training from the masters at our academy, your potential will receive even better enhancement. According to past standards, students with a deeper foundation usually advance one rank within six months, while the rest take around eight to ten months.”
“Doesn’t that mean that those Extraordinary Fifth Rank students could have a chance to step into Extraordinary Sixth Rank in half a year?” Xu Wanxiao opened her mouth, finding it hard to believe.
However, Ai Weitian confirmed what she said, “You mean Lin Shenying, Ji Wutian, and Meng Jiao, right? Indeed, those three Extraordinary Fifth Rank students are very eye-catching this year. But half a year might be quite a long time for them, especially Lin Shenying. Given his training speed, he might have the opportunity to break through to Sixth Rank before the second evaluation.”
Even Luo Yizhou’s face couldn’t remain composed.
He thought he was fast reaching Extraordinary Third Rank, yet now someone was telling him that his soon-to-be classmate was about to reach Extraordinary Sixth Rank…
The strongest person in his Luo family was only just Extraordinary Sixth Rank…
“Is Dragon City… really that strong?”
Ai Weitian looked at these three youngsters and smiled, giving them some confidence, “In our Dragon City martial arts university, there have been cases of accumulating slowly and making a sudden leap forward. Have you ever heard of Qi Tianhen?”
“The captain of the Eastern Continent’s Third Field Team?” Luo Yizhou suddenly spoke up.
Ai Weitian nodded.
“Who is he?” Xu Wanxiao had never heard this name before, and turning her head suddenly she asked Pei Jinye, “Do you know him?”
“Graduate of the 399th class,” replied Pei Jinye offhandedly.
“Correct,” Ai Weitian looked approvingly at Pei Jinye and Luo Yizhou, “It appears you’ve both done your research in advance. However, a distinguished graduate of the 399th class of our Dragon City martial arts university, and he was the representative figure. At first, they were all at Extraordinary Third Rank, just like you, and during the first evaluation, he was even placed in an inferior class…”
But he never gave up.
In three months, he finished cultivating his Physical Body to the Middle Three Realm. With the rewards from the second evaluation, he successfully broke through to Fourth Rank in the sixth month, and by the time he graduated two years later, he was already at Extraordinary Sixth Rank…”
“Are resources that important?” The point of the story was clear to Luo Yizhou.
Xu Wanxiao scoffed at that, “When have resources ever been unimportant?”
Luo Yizhou looked at her and frowned without saying a word.
He didn’t like this person.
Ai Weitian nodded and said, “The importance of resources has never been underestimated. In fact, the law of survival of the fittest also illustrates this, where the strong have everything. The same resources given to the strong and the relatively weaker have different effects. Dragon City martial arts university can provide equal teaching resources, but beyond that, we do not interfere with your cultivation…”
It was like that old saying, ‘The master leads you to the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual.’ How you all develop thereafter also depends entirely on yourselves.”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Pei Jinye.
“Pei Jinye, you were the first among all outstanding students in Central State this year to awaken to Extraordinary Third Rank. Although your performance in Peng City these past five months has been average, I believe your potential has not yet been truly excavated. I am very much looking forward to your performance.”

For a moment.
Luo Yizhou and Xu Wanxiao simultaneously turned their attention to Pei Jinye.
“…”
Pei Jinye looked towards Ai Weitian with a deep gaze.
Teacher Ai, you are extraordinarily kind.
