.

…

The mock exam lasted for nearly two hours, and Lin Yuan’s final score was fixed at 203.11 points.

Other than the Spirit Seed Test, the other five results did not exceed Lin Yuan’s imagination.

“With the 50 points of the spirit seed, 240 points in the College Entrance Examination is definitely not a problem.”

Li Jinnan did not expect that the martial arts mock exam, which was supposed to hit Lin Yuan’s confidence in martial arts, would actually stimulate Lin Yuan’s confidence to the peak!

As Lin Yuan’s cultivation level increased, the increase in his Spirit Energy Test score was the most intuitive.

Secondly, Lin Yuan’s speed would also increase to a certain extent with every breakthrough of his six meridians in his legs.

According to this result, if he broke through to nine meridians before the College Entrance Examination, he might be hovering above the 240-point mark.

If ten meridians were opened, his score would be stable at more than 240 points, and he could even aim for higher scores.

Just when Lin Yuan was full of confidence and was about to go home to continue his cultivation, a teacher in the dojo called out to him.

“Mr. Lu wants to see me?”

“Okay, I’ll go now.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Mr. Lu Zhun was not very close to Lin Yuan because Lin Yuan did not attend many martial arts classes.

He spent most of his time on Basic Martial Arts.

It was normal for him to ask Lin Yuan to talk to him when he suddenly displayed the talent of a top-tier spirit seed.

However, when Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun appeared in front of Lin Yuan side by side, Lin Yuan knew that something was wrong.

Lin Yuan nodded politely and said, “Hello, Mr. Li and Mr. Lu.”

Li Jinnan raised his hand and was about to say something. When he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate, he put his hand down resentfully.

Should he still ask Lin Yuan to return to the liberal arts?

It would be fine if Lin Yuan’s martial arts talent was as bad as before.

At this moment, Lin Yuan’s results could even support him to attend the top five martial arts colleges!

He and Li Jinnan had already calculated that among the top five martial arts colleges, the worst Binghai College received students of 362.44 as the baseline last year!

Lin Yuan’s liberal arts results were close to full marks.

With this calculation, Lin Yuan only needed to get about 215 points to enter Binghai College for his martial arts.

So everything was in Lin Yuan’s plan?

“It doesn’t make sense…”

Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun could not figure it out.

Why would Lin Yuan suppress his realm with such a good spirit seed talent?

Even if he could not break through to a level three martial artist, he should be able to enter the five great academies with eleven meridians.

“Lin Yuan, what’s the situation with your spirit seed?”

“Why didn’t you cultivate this mechanical-type spirit seed before?”

“Is it because you don’t have any spirit skills?”

Lu Zhun asked straightforwardly.

Lin Yuan touched his nose and answered truthfully, “No.”

“To cultivate the mechanical-type spirit energy, I have to have sufficient physical strength. I started relatively late.”

“It’s similar to the steel-type.”

Hearing this, Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun were stunned at first.

Then, they widened their eyes and came to a sudden realization.

Steel-type martial artists also needed strong bones to support them, which could turn their entire bodies into steel.

The mechanical-type and steel-type spirit seeds seemed similar. However, there was a fundamental difference.

One spirit seed was silver-gray, and the other spirit seed was gray-white.

Most mechanical-type focused on long-range attacks.

The steel-type focused on close-combat body tempering.

“So you’ve been increasing your body’s strength for the past three years?”

“Just that simple?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Lin Yuan nodded. That was the reason.

He didn’t know that his mechanical-type spirit seed was very strong.

Since it was in uncharted territory, there was no need to expose this spirit seed.

It wouldn’t affect him anyway. At most, he would be criticized.

Lu Zhun stole a glance at the disappointed Li Jinnan and turned to Lin Yuan.

“Okay, you can go first.”

“Goodbye, sir.”

Seeing Lin Yuan leave, Li Jinnan sighed slightly.

“This must be fate.”

It was not easy to wait for a liberal arts genius to appear.

In the end, he was still an all-rounder who was obsessed with martial arts.

To Li Jinnan, this was not entirely a bad thing.

At least Lin Yuan’s martial arts talent had shown up, so he had a reason to explain to the school.

He couldn’t possibly make Lin Yuan, who had a top-tier spirit seed, give up his martial arts and become a scholar.

…

Outside the dojo, Fang Zixin excitedly slapped Lin Yuan.

“Are you serious?!”

“203 points?”

“This score has already surpassed Song Cheng’s!”

Song Cheng bitterly held the report card, which happened to have a score of 202 points, and felt like he had been shot.

He had just broken through to eight meridians, and 202 points were almost his best level.

Lin Yuan smiled.

“There are still a few months left. I should be able to improve my grades.”

Lin Yuan, who was originally flawless in appearance, had displayed the potential of a top-tier martial artist at this moment.

In an instant, the image of him in the eyes of the girls around him changed. It was as if he was shining.

“Brother Yuan only needs to break through one or two meridians in these few months.”

“It won’t be a problem for him to get into one of the five colleges.”

A few friends congratulated Lin Yuan.

The students around them were also talking about him. Apparently, it had become big news again.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yuan went from a top-notch loser to a genius for the top five colleges in just one month.

“Life is really mysterious.”

“Fate will always favor those who work hard. This is the truth.”

“Those who are stronger than you work harder than you, and are more handsome than you… sigh…”

…

Lin Yuan’s appearance with a top-grade spirit seed instantly swept the entire Qingshand Middle School.

The forums, classes, and group chats were all crazily discussing this young man who was once called a “weirdo” and a “clown”!

Many people sent congratulatory messages to Lin Yuan, including Lin Yuan’s father, Lin Shouyi.

However, Lin Yuan did not care about the compliments. He immediately devoted himself to cultivation when he returned home.

“The second phase of training is about to begin.”

After receiving the feedback from the results, Lin Yuan’s motivation was bursting!

Moreover, many difficulties in the spirit skill manual, Basic Mechanization were still waiting for Lin Yuan to overcome.

At the moment, he could only complete the partial mechanization of his hands and feet. Even the simultaneous mechanization of his hands was a little strenuous. There were less than five months before the College Entrance Examination, so he had set three goals for himself.

The first goal: to reach more than 100 spirit energy and breakthrough ten meridians.

The second goal: to complete the perfect transition of the complete mechanization of the body.

The third goal: to learn the second mechanical-type spirit skill, “Mechanized Crossbow”.

If all three goals were achieved, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to steadily breakthrough 240 points in the College Entrance Examination five months later, and he would be able to sprint toward higher scores.

…

Lin Yuan did not have any other thoughts in the following time.

The school and the villa had been turned into two dots on a single line. He was fully focused on preparing for the College Entrance Examination!

In the blink of an eye, five months passed by slowly.

All the 13th-grade students in the country had welcomed an examination that would determine their future destinies!
