Among the three exchangeable items originally priced at 10,000 points, "Taibai Phecda’s after-class guidance" and "Wisdom Sword Heart thod" have been grayed out and cannot be purchased with money.
It’s essentially out of print.
However, the Celestial Spirit Root usage rights are still for sale, but the price is as high as twenty thousand per hour.
Yet no one has any complaints because this price is considered cheap due to Taibai Phecda’s influence.
It should be known that renting the Celestial Spirit Root outside costs as much as forty thousand per hour!
Usually, there’s a waiting list, and sotis it’s bundled sales.
Like renting a thousand hours of ordinary Spiritual Roots to get priority in renting the Celestial Spirit Root...
And consider those cultivation resources priced at four-figure points.
The Dragon Bone Pill for bone strengthening, the Six-Flavor Nourishing Pill needed for healing injuries, the Spiritual Pressure Pump for refining spiritual energy, the Thunder Strike Talisman for increasing muscle activity, etc., are all much cheaper than market prices when converted into monetary exchange.
Taibai Phecda previously stated that spending one million a month on cultivation resources is necessary to keep up with the learning pace, which is true.
But in the Special Advancent Class, spending one million can buy things worth two million, or even more than three million in market value, which is quite cost-effective.
"If you want to exchange these cultivation resources, you can always report to my Sword Spirit assistant in the class group."
After posting the Federation Coins version of the exchange list to the group, Taibai Phecda said:
"Now, let’s start the class."
Upon hearing this, the Special Advancent Class students who were still hesitating over which resources to exchange imdiately sat upright, looking expectant.
Taibai Phecda spoke unhurriedly:
"Before the official start of the class, you all need to understand a concept first."
"A concept that determines whether you can be admitted to the Top Ten."
"This concept is a latent concept used only by the Top Ten, so it doesn’t have a specific na. I will call it—Potential Index."
Potential Index?
Upon hearing this setting, not to ntion the ordinary students of Taihua High School, even prodigies like Xiao Kong and Chen Nuoyi, who co from prominent families, were slightly taken aback.
Taibai Phecda made a casual wave, and the nas of six subjects for the college entrance exam appeared on the virtual screen.
"As everyone knows, General Education is a foundation that can be aced casually, Spiritual Rune and Dao Heart are subjects that need to be focused on after entering university, minimally involved in high school, and also easy to score high."
"Hence, in the eyes of the top Immortal Mansions, only the results in Cultivation, Physical Education, and Martial Arts are the standards to judge a student’s excellence."
"So here’s the question, what’s the difference between geniuses like Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying, who have reached the Qi Cultivation Peak with near-perfect scores in cultivation, physique, and martial arts, and the students who get into the Top Ten?"
"After all, on paper, they all seem to be at Qi Cultivation Peak, looking indistinguishable."
The virtual screen changed its image, displaying a Five Dinsions panel, showing respectively the Total Spiritual Power, Spiritual Power Strength, Physical Strength, Physical Potential, Martial Arts Potential.
Taibai Phecda introduced:
"The entrance exam tests only cultivation level, physical quality, martial arts level, but the Top Ten truly value these five-dinsional data on the screen, which we can collectively refer to as potential."
"The scores of these Five Dinsions are not higher just because the realm is higher, but are based on the extre data compared horizontally within the sa realm."
"Previously when you entered the Taixu Illusion Realm, I already scanned your five-dinsional scores. Now let’s take Xiao Kong’s Five Dinsions scores as an example."
With that, an irregularly-shaped small pentagon appeared on the Five Dinsions panel.
Xiao Kong: Total Spiritual Power: 1.18
Spiritual Power Strength: 0.79
Physical Strength: 0.93
Physical Potential: 0.89
Martial Arts Potential: 0.87
Comprehensive Potential Index: 0.67
Seeing the Five Dinsions scores mostly starting with 0 and the very modest potential index of 0.67, the Special Advancent Class students couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
All cultivators here, after doing quick math, deduced that this potential index is derived from multiplying the Five Dinsions scores with each other.
Taibai Phecda looked at Xiao Kong:
"Do you know what this 0.67 in Five Dinsions scores signifies?"
Xiao Kong shook his head in a daze.
"It indicates that in the eyes of the Top Ten’s admissions office, your college entrance exam score multiplied by this potential index of 0.67 is your real score."
A sudden uproar echoed around the classroom.
Because Xiao Kong’s recent monthly exam score is 732, multiplied by 0.67, leaves only a pitiful 490.5.
Not even reaching the benchmark line for a first-tier university.
Xiao Kong’s face had turned slightly pale, yet Taibai Phecda continued with more rciless words:
"As far as I know, the lowest potential index for students admitted to the Top Ten in last year’s college entrance exam was 0.82, and even then, if that student’s score wasn’t as high as 745, they might have failed."
"And those truly valued by the Top Ten must have a potential index that breaks 1!"
"Thus, even if you rank among the city’s top ten, it might not guarantee entry to the Top Ten, especially for those so-called pseudo-geniuses purely relying on ingestion of pills."
After such explanation, the students of the Special Advancent Class couldn’t help but feel overwheld by pressure.
Xiao Kong is a genius with Yin Fire Magic Vein, and his potential index is only 0.67, most others likely have even lower potential index.
But just as everyone was thinking this, Taibai Phecda shifted the conversation:
"However, we do have students in this class whose potential index breaks 1."
Upon hearing this, the students in the class showed shocked expressions.
Before they could speculate, the Five Dinsions scores on the virtual screen suddenly changed.
A big pentagon appeared.
Su Yuan: Total Spiritual Power: 0.98
Spiritual Power Strength: 1.04
Physical Strength: 0.83
Physical Potential: 1.11
Martial Arts Potential: 1.37
Comprehensive Potential Index: 1.29
The students in the Special Advancent Class were greatly shocked!
A potential index of 1.29 is almost double that of Xiao Kong!
Su Yuan’s monthly exam score of 650 multiplied by the potential index resulted in a total score of 838.5!
All eyes from the class were instantly fixed onto Su Yuan, their expressions complicated.
So it turns out this guy’s first place in the Special Advancent Class is indeed deserving?!
Su Yuan suddenly had an urge to stand up and deliver a victory speech, but was subdued by Taibai Phecda’s oppressive gaze.
"Su Yuan, don’t be too conceited."
Taibai Phecda calmly reminded:
"Do you have any clear idea of why you have such a high potential index?"
"I won’t spell out how your physical potential and martial arts potential ca about."
"Rember, potential index isn’t static; the lower the cultivation, the easier it is to enhance the potential index. Only if you maintain such a potential index after reaching Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, will you have more than a fifty percent chance of entering the Top Ten."
Su Yuan shrank his neck, realizing as well.
The high physical potential likely ca from eating too many Blue Pills for optimizing.
After all, the pill effects clearly state the ability to adjust the aesthetic and functionality of muscle groups, which certainly contributes to potential.
This adjustnt function, however, has its limits and won’t improve further beyond a certain point.
As for martial arts potential... should attribute to the full-level "Fury Heart Attack," but likely more due to the "Unity of Man and Sword" demonstrated in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Traditionally, weapons and magical treasures go hand in hand with martial arts and Daoist skills.
How can one beco a great master without using martial arts with weapons?
Although use of weapons and magical treasures isn’t allowed in the college entrance exam, each student can wear standard armor. After delighting the Armor Soul, defense power surpasses others, isn’t that considered martial arts potential too?
As for the scores in total spiritual power and spiritual power strength, they’re certainly thanks to the Abyssal Magic Vein, with scores similar to Xiao Kong who possesses the Yin Fire Magic Vein.
