Chapter 147 Chapter Seventy-Eight Achieving Extraordinary! (7500, 4 Updates Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

The physical examinations were divided into male and female teams, separated widely. Each gender was further divided into two large teams to accelerate the examination process.

This time, the focus was on spiritual energy aptitude testing, which involved a far more complex set of tests compared to regular physical examinations.

Besides the standard blood tests, height, weight, and lung capacity measurements, there were also bizarre items like heart rate frequency, muscle density, and body fat percentage analysis.

Even amidst the noisy crowd, Su Zhou could hear numerous conversations coming from other teams all around.

"Oh, Doctor Ren, this student's heart rate is very fast. Do you think something's wrong?"

A doctor, after examining the data, replied calmly, "If you were lying on an operating table and saw two burly men approaching you with instruments, ready to poke and prod you, your heart rate would also be fast... Alright, relax, student, take a deep breath, or you'll have a heart attack."

He could also hear some students anxiously asking, "Doctor, I've noticed my neck getting thicker lately... Could it be a thyroid problem?"

"...Well, you're just a bit overweight, it's fat accumulation. Nothing serious, just lose weight."

There were also excited voices: "Doctor, Doctor, I've been feeling a subtle pain in my pineal gland area, and it's even hot to the touch... Am I about to awaken superpowers?"

After a detailed examination, the doctor asserted, "You have a slight fever. Go to the other side and let Doctor Zhu get you some medicine."

The student seemed to have suffered a major blow, and after a while, he said with some lingering hope, "But Doctor, I still think I've awakened superpowers..."

The doctor's response was decisive: "Let's bring down the fever first. If you really have awakened superpowers, there's no rush."

On the other side, there were even some very advanced mechanical devices. Many students only needed to stand inside, and a beam of light would scan them from top to bottom, recording their weight and body shape. It could even detect the condition of their skin and hair.

"So many types."

After listening roughly, Su Zhou understood the general types of tests: specific physical condition, eyesight, height, weight, allergies, blood tests, body fat percentage, spiritual energy response, and so on.

Although there were many items, the testing instruments were very advanced, and some magical arts were used to assist. The most cumbersome processes were simplified, and results could be obtained quickly.

Soon, it was his turn.

"You, your eyes..."

Starting with the vision test, Su Zhou caused an uproar. Even the doctor in charge was slightly shocked—he had removed his contact lenses, revealing his vertical pupils directly in front of the crowd for the first time. For a moment, the doctor felt a sense of involuntary trembling, as if being stared at by an ancient predator.

*Had he awakened some kind of bloodline?!*

Of course, this sense of crisis was fleeting, because Su Zhou did not show any hostility. The trembling sensation was quickly suppressed. As for the abnormality of his eyes, Su Zhou felt that there was nothing to hide now. He couldn't wear contact lenses for the rest of his life.

"Bluish-purple, so beautiful."

The doctor in charge seemed to have seen other special eyes like this, so he wasn't very surprised. Instead, he smiled and motioned for Su Zhou to look at the distant eye chart: "Last time I saw an awakened individual similar to you at the hospital. She was a young girl, and her eyes were dark purple. She thought her eyes were mutating and asked if she was going blind... As a result, not only did she not go blind, but she also threw away her seven-hundred-degree lenses. Her vision was not only normal, but also far beyond that of ordinary people."

He thought that Su Zhou would be worried about his abnormality and tried to reassure him.

But how could Su Zhou have such thoughts? He chuckled and began the test—the results of the test were even more shocking to the doctor than the vertical pupils.

"Still able to clearly see the changes in ant-sized characters three hundred meters away?"

"Both near and far, dynamic vision is also extremely strong... Limit capture speed... at least here, the limit cannot be tested."

"You say you also have night vision? I'll note this for now, maybe we'll test it separately later..."

After the test, the shocked doctor knew very well that the physical examination at this camp couldn't test the limits of Su Zhou's vision at all. He could only ponder for a few seconds, then write the marker 'Grade A or above' on the result: "I'll give you the highest score first... Your vision is even more exaggerated than that little girl I saw last time, a human-shaped high-definition telescope."

After that, his height and weight also caused a bit of chaos. Su Zhou's height was normal, and his figure was perfect. The doctor in charge even smiled and asked Su Zhou if he exercised regularly. This physique with about ten percent body fat, and exceptionally solid and smooth muscles, couldn't be achieved by ordinary people.

As a result, after Su Zhou entered the testing instrument, he blinked, thinking he had misread the data: "Wait, one hundred and thirty-two kilograms?! One hundred and thirty-two?!"

"You're, appearing thin when dressed? Too exaggerated!"

The doctor raised his head in shock, looked at Su Zhou's body with no extra fat, and then looked at the weight number, swallowing hard: "This is one of the characteristics of 'physical talent', high-density muscle..."

Without a doubt, Su Zhou got another Grade A or above—he got a perfect score because the maximum score was only Grade A, while others were just barely Grade A.

As for his heart rate and breathing, Su Zhou's various data were also very special: he only breathed twice a minute, as if his body's demand for oxygen had been greatly reduced, or perhaps he could breathe through his skin, but this was not yet clear, and the doctor dared not make a judgment.

His heart rate was also very low, only about twenty beats per minute. This prompted the examining Doctor Ren to frequently ask Su Zhou how he was feeling and if he was alright.

In non-combat situations, Su Zhou's body seemed to maintain a certain dormant state, not operating at full capacity, but as long as needed, it would immediately start at full power, bursting out with unimaginable strength.

As for his lung capacity and blood pressure, Su Zhou's data also didn't seem human at all. Not to mention anything else, if his blood pressure was that of a normal human, he would have suffered a stroke and died a long time ago. According to the data, what flowed in his blood vessels didn't seem to be blood at all, but mercury—but not only was Su Zhou not dead, he was still alive and kicking. When testing his grip strength, he even accidentally crushed the dynamometer.

When it came to the blood test, the examining doctor's face changed on the spot, then changed again, and then changed drastically—because ordinary needles couldn't pierce Su Zhou's skin at all. If he used force, he would either almost stab himself, or the needle would bend.

"We can't do anything about this..." In the end, the doctor gave up—he couldn't find a hammer to hammer the needle in, right? Moreover, the doctor instinctively predicted that even with a hammer, it would be useless.

"I'll do it myself."

Su Zhou himself was a little helpless, so he could only ask for a test tube, bite open his finger, and drop a drop of blood into it.

A drop of blood like mercury, containing a bluish-purple spiritual light, rolled down like a gem. It didn't seem to touch the tube wall at all, and there was no adhesion phenomenon. It remained in a droplet shape, staying at the bottom of the test tube.

"You should use special equipment to preserve my blood." Su Zhou said to the doctor who was staring wide-eyed at his body data with shock or fanaticism, "And the spirituality contained within will quickly dissipate as soon as it leaves me, so you need to test it quickly."

At this time, in the control room, the main screen camera specifically shifted to this location.

And when Zhang Qingyun and the Director of Education saw this scene, their expressions changed simultaneously.

Because they saw the blood that Su Zhou had dropped.

"It's spiritual blood!"

The Director's face was astonished, and he even took off his glasses to wipe them. When he put them back on, the situation on the screen hadn't changed: "A drop of blood like mercury!"

"This is, has he already awakened to a high rank?! Or is he a high rank in pure spiritual martial arts cultivation!"

Exhaling a breath that was a mix of shock and joy, the Director shook his head forcefully, recalling the past: "Back then, when I was young, I had just awakened to the first rank at this age... You have to know, I started cultivating when I was just over ten years old, and this little guy, at most a few months, right?"

"Dean Zhang, what do you think?"

"He has a bloodline. And, a very strong one."

Hearing his old friend's question, Zhang Qingyun replied softly. Then, he didn't continue speaking, only his eyes became fiery, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

——Su Zhou?

Is this the ‘innate Dao body’ that Zhang Fucheng mentioned?

To have already reached the high rank of awakening at such a young age... truly extraordinary!

"This trip to Hong City was not a waste of time."

Soon, all the basic physical data had been tested, and the report card that Su Zhou received could be described as perfect.

He had no past medical history, no allergic reactions, normal height, a special physique, excellent vision, excellent hearing, normal development, extremely strong cardiopulmonary function, and no problems with his liver, spleen, kidneys, or abdomen. He could even be said to be as healthy as a lively Tyrannosaurus rex.

As for things like electrocardiograms, it was hard to say whether they were 'abnormal' or 'excellent', because a normal human heart couldn't beat only twenty times a minute.

Basically, Su Zhou received a Grade A or above that exceeded the limit for all accurately assessed data. The entire physical examination report was filled with evaluations that broke the upper limit, so much so that it was as if he hadn't been tested at all, and no one knew what his physical data was.

However, these were just icing on the cake... The most important thing in the spiritual energy aptitude test was 'spiritual energy affinity'!

After finishing all the basic physical fitness tests, it was the final spiritual energy affinity test... All the previous data was used to assist it. After comparing the two, the relevant transcendent beings could specifically design the subsequent cultivation plan for the participants.

After arriving at the spiritual energy test area, Su Zhou reunited with Shao Qiming and the rest of the First High School team—this time, the way everyone looked at him was not just joking about him being a monster, but really looking at a monster!

How could a normal human get such data... Although what Su Zhou had shown before was already very exaggerated, they didn't expect it to be this exaggerated!

But there was no extra time for them to sigh, because the spiritual energy test area was just ahead.

Those were some seemingly simple instruments—placed in the center of the entire camp, a total of one hundred hourglasses that were about one person tall, with pure white sand at the bottom.

"This is a spiritual sand hourglass. Those white sands have extremely high spiritual energy sensitivity, and are very light, they will move due to the flow of spiritual energy."

Professor Zuo, who led the team, explained to everyone: "See the groove in front of the hourglass? Gather spiritual power and inject it into it. The faster the spiritual power is guided, the faster the spiritual sand below will fly upwards, and the more spiritual sand accumulated above, the higher the talent."

"For ordinary people, even if they cultivate for decades and accumulate enough spiritual power, the guidance speed is still very slow. Being able to make about one to five percent of the spiritual sand fly up is already considered good."

"And the standard for most transcendent beings who can cultivate, that is, the standard for the vast majority of transcendent beings, is generally in the range of ten to twenty percent."

"Being able to exceed fifty percent is a genius. With this foundation, as long as you cultivate well and don't slack off, the future can be considered promising."

Speaking of this, Professor Zuo seemed quite emotional. When he tested back then, his progress was only about forty-one percent. Although it was better than ordinary transcendent beings, and could be called excellent talent, he still needed a certain amount of luck to advance to the transcendent level.

Especially his age, which was too old. If he were younger, it would be fine, but now, without some spiritual pills and medicines, he was afraid that he had no hope of advancing to the transcendent level.

The test was quick, batches of people went up, and then retreated with joy or disappointment.

Just as Professor Zuo said, most people were in the range of ten to twenty percent, and occasionally there were breakthroughs, but none exceeded fifty percent.

This scene immediately made the First High School team more nervous... Who knew if they met the qualifying standard? No one knew.

However, in the fifth batch of testers, the first student to exceed the fifty percent standard finally appeared!

Even, it directly rushed to eighty percent!

That was the round-faced boy from the Zheng Yi Academy, who was following behind Professor Zhang. He retracted his hand, slowly withdrawing the purple spiritual power he had condensed. His smiling expression, which had always been there, became even brighter.

According to the official Zheng Country standard table known by the round-faced boy, Grade A talent was for individuals above 80%, which could be considered an innate Dao body, worthy of being cultivated with all efforts.

And Grade B was for geniuses between 55% and 80%, also worthy of being cultivated vigorously.

Grade C was not bad either, it was 30~55%, which was excellent talent, very worthy of cultivation.

The last Grade D was the batch of 5~30%, who had talent and could be cultivated.

As for those below Grade D, those with no grade, 0~5%, although they had a little spiritual power talent, that was all. Elementary school football teams also played football, but you couldn't say that they could play professionally, right? That was roughly the degree of comparison.

As for those who had none at all, they basically wouldn't come to the physical examination—throwing money away wasn't done like this, at least throwing money could make a splash.

In the subsequent testing process, individuals with extremely high talents appeared one after another.

The girl with the fierce eyes, who was also following behind Professor Zhang Fucheng, also had excellent data of 83%.

And on the side of the Twenty-Second High School team, there also appeared a wild genius with 77%, which caused a burst of exclamations.

However, the highest data so far came from Hong City Academy Affiliated High School, a student named Guan Wanjing.

His physique was so strong that he didn't look like a normal high school student at all. Facing him, even the hourglass, which was originally one person tall, seemed short.

And his data, like his person, was burly and terrifying, reaching a staggering 94%!

It could be seen that basically all the spiritual sand in the entire hourglass was guided to the top by his spiritual power. The leading professor of Hong City Academy also showed a proud smile—Guan Wanjing's data could not only compete for first place in Hongzhou, but also compete for first place in the country!

Especially now that it was an era of spiritual energy revival, Guan Wanjing's talent could soon be transformed into strength. When that time came, another powerhouse strong enough to support the situation would appear in their lineage!

Gradually, half of the number of test takers had passed.
