For the next ten days or so, Ruian stopped going to the library and stayed in the dormitory all day to practice fighting spirit. He didn't take a break until he was really tired.
Ruian knew that he was not actually a genius who cultivated Dou Qi. His qualifications could only be regarded as above-average at best. The only advantage he had over others was that he had more energy than others and had less time to sleep.
It gives me a lot more time to practice.
In addition, Ruian is much more diligent than others, so Ruian is now stronger than others.
From the previous Dou Qi training class, Ruian learned that about half of the people have already developed Dou Qi, but many people have not stabilized it. It is estimated that not many people can pass this promotion test.
Ruian is very low-key in the epee department. Apart from knowing that Ruian has cultivated fighting spirit, his classmates don't know about Ruian's true strength. Although the reputation of Ruian's fights has been spread recently, no one pays too much attention to it.
In the blink of an eye, the day of promotion assessment came soon.
The promotion assessment is college-wide, which means it is not conducted by department. A few days before the assessment, registrations from students who need to be assessed have been accepted.
Ruian, who was immersed in cultivation, would have almost missed the registration time if Helis hadn't come to notify him.
This morning, Ruian arrived at the assessment location, College Square, very early.
The promotion assessment is conducted publicly, which means the assessment results are open to everyone.
The college square is crowded with people!
Almost all the freshmen are here. Judging from the registration situation, almost all students who have cultivated fighting spirit have signed up to take the assessment.
According to some old students, even if they fail the assessment, it is still good to accumulate experience. Therefore, many students who have just cultivated fighting spirit shamelessly signed up to participate.
Ryan had already learned about the promotion assessment from Helis before. He had also quietly tested it and knew that he would pass without any problem, so he came to take the assessment today with a very relaxed attitude.
The promotion assessment method used by Parr Comprehensive Academy has always been to assess the duration of fighting spirit. The method is also very simple. The academy will prepare a magic ball for the fighting spirit test, and the tester inputs his or her maximum fighting spirit into the magic ball. If
If the fighting spirit does not meet the promotion standard, then it will be judged as failing the assessment. If the fighting spirit reaches the promotion standard, then the fighting spirit will be maintained and must be maintained for half a quarter of an hour to be considered as passing the assessment, otherwise it will be judged as passing the assessment.
Since the number of people who signed up for this promotion assessment reached more than 300, the college used ten magic balls for the Dou Qi test to conduct the assessment. The students had to line up and take turns to come forward for the assessment. After the examination, one came forward one after another.
In the square, ten magic balls were placed side by side on the rostrum. A dozen teachers were taking notes nearby, while ten students taking exams were holding their breath and showing off their fighting spirit. As for the audience, except for a long queue of people waiting in line.
Besides, there were also a large group of students watching the excitement.
These lively spectators seemed to be watching a game, cheering from time to time, but more often than not, they made some loud mocking sounds. From time to time, a student who had just cultivated fighting spirit but shamelessly signed up appeared on the stage.
The time to display his fighting spirit was too short, so he was laughed at loudly by the students who were watching.
It seems that the warnings given by the old students are purely malicious!
After more than a dozen freshmen who had been ridiculed went up, those freshmen who had just cultivated fighting spirit and wanted to gain some experience did not have the courage to go up, so they were collectively absent.
This also took away a lot of fun from the students watching the fun below.
Ruian was also lining up at the back of the long queue at this time. After Ruian's observation, among the students who went up for the assessment, excluding the dozen or so people who went up to make a fool of themselves, less than half could pass the assessment. Many people failed.
It's just that the time to display fighting spirit is a little less than the required half-quarter of an hour. I believe that these will definitely pass the next assessment.
According to this statement, among this year's freshmen, about one-fifth of them can advance in this assessment.
This is a very high ratio. You must know that it only takes three months to practice Dou Qi. It can be seen that the quality of people in this world is very high. In comparison, Ruian does not have any advantage.
Most of the day passed, and it was finally Ryan's turn to test. But he faced a difficult problem, that is, should he try his best?
Ruian had tried to exert his maximum fighting spirit before to see how long he could support it. The result satisfied Ruian Ruian. He could support it for two quarters of an hour, which was equivalent to half an hour in his previous life.
However, after Ruian's observation just now, if he exerts his best, he will be the student who has supported him for the longest time since the assessment. In full view of the public, Ruian's strength will be completely exposed, which is really not in line with Ruian's original intention.
Ruian still prefers a low-key life.
So after thinking about it, Ruian decided to hide his strength.
Ryan walked to the magic ball for the fighting spirit test, followed the instructions of the recording teacher next to him, pressed his right hand on the magic ball, and then slowly displayed his fighting spirit.
In an instant, yellow light began to emerge from the bottom of the magic ball.
"Well, it's earth attribute fighting spirit." The recording teacher said while recording it in the notebook.
Ruian gradually increased his fighting spirit, and the yellow light on the magic ball slowly rose.
After a moment, the yellow light surpassed a straight line carved on the magic ball.
"The amount of fighting energy is qualified. When it reaches the maximum amount, please give a reminder." The recording teacher reminded.
Upon hearing this, Ruian increased the amount of fighting energy for ten more breaths, and then pretended to be out of breath and said: "Teacher, the maximum amount has been reached."
"Okay, let's start timing now." After saying that, the recording teacher began to turn over a funnel on the table next to him and started timing.
In fact, this amount of fighting spirit is not Rui'an's maximum fighting spirit, but is equivalent to about three-quarters of Rui'an's fighting spirit.
Ruian didn't use all his strength, so it was naturally very easy to maintain this level of fighting spirit. However, in order to prevent others from seeing his flaws, he still pretended to use all his strength. He suppressed his blush, his breathing was abnormal, and he was panting.
.
The onlookers didn't notice Ruian at all. There were too many people in the test. Ruian was really the most inconspicuous one. His figure was of an average epee type, his appearance was very ordinary, he was a member of the general public, and his fighting spirit was average.
It just passed the qualifying line. So naturally no one would care about Ruian.
While exerting his fighting spirit, Ruian secretly glanced at the funnel next to him to see how much time had passed. However, he really didn't know how to read, so he couldn't tell how much time had passed. He could only rely on his feelings to feel how much time had passed.
Fortunately, after a while, the recording teacher reminded: "It's half an hour, please continue to work hard."
Ruian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was very tiring to pretend to be weak!
However, Ruian did not stop his fighting spirit immediately, but persisted for hundreds of breaths, and then pretended that he could no longer hold on anymore and stopped using his fighting spirit.
"Well, student Ruian, your score is three-quarters of an hour. Congratulations on your promotion." The recording teacher announced the score.
Ruian breathed a sigh of relief again, gave a swordsman's salute to the recording teacher, turned around and walked off the stage. As he walked off the stage, Ruian accepted congratulations from several epee students who were still queuing up.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of Ruian, which startled him. He looked closely and saw that it was Helis.
"Scared me, Mr. He, why are you here?" Ryan raised his fist and lightly punched Helis on the shoulder.
"I just arrived, and I saw you testing on it." Helis easily dodged and avoided Ryan's fist, and continued, "Don't tell me that the results of the test just now are all your strength. You act like crazy every day
I don’t believe you are so bad at practicing.”
"Haha, I didn't expect it, but I'll show it to you. I've reserved some strength." Ruian said vaguely.
"How much has been retained? Don't tell me it's only a little. I don't believe it." Helis asked reluctantly.
"Well... I kept about half of it." Ruian thought for a moment and decided that he should confess to Harris. However, this was also somewhat untrue. Ruian had supported it for about two quarters of an hour before, which was five-fifths longer than the time just now.
Three quarters of an hour is much more.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Among the freshmen in this class, you are probably the most powerful." Harris punched Ryan on the shoulder, and then asked in confusion, "But why don't you try your best?
What? Let everyone see your strength!"
"Low-key, low-key, if you don't keep a low profile, people will be annoyed to death." Ruian scratched his head and said.
