Chapter 27: Seven Months Later, the Year-End Mutation.
In the blink of an eye, seven months of training had already passed.
After the first actual combat test, as Xuan Mo had predicted, Mo Di's training had reached a perverse level.
This kind of perverse training was excruciating even for Xuan Mo, a dedicated practitioner since childhood.
Let alone the others.
The class, originally over thirty students, now has only a dozen or so, less than half. As for the other students, they either dropped out or transferred to other classes, unable to stay. However, it must be said that under the incredibly strict instruction, the remaining students have completely transformed.
The one who has undergone the greatest transformation is Jin Sanqian.
Over the past seven months, not only has his spirit power increased from level eight to level ten, and he's been led by his teacher to the academy's Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first spirit ring, but he's also lost over twenty pounds. Of course, his appearance hasn't changed much.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo's spirit power has indeed surpassed level eighteen in these seven months.
However, this rapid increase in spirit power is entirely thanks to Jin Sanqian's help.
It turned out that just six months earlier, Jin Sanqian had found Xuan Mo and, after understanding the basics of his martial spirit, brought him to a college's mimicry training ground.
This surprised Xuan Mo somewhat, as he had never known a junior spirit master academy could boast such a training ground. However, it wasn't until he arrived that he discovered that this mimicry training ground was simply a portion of the nearby Barak Advanced Spirit Master Academy.
In this mimicry training ground, Xuan Mo's training speed was significantly faster than usual. Through systematic study, he made significant progress in the flow and control of his spirit power.
Even the development of his first spirit skill was significantly improved thanks to the mimicry training ground.
"Today's class is the last for the year,"
Mo Di said, standing at the podium, his aged face still stern. All the students sat upright, none daring to move.
"But I have something to say here,"
Mo Di paused, scanning the crowd.
"Seven months have passed since the start of the school year, which means this grade has come to an end. I'm sure you're all familiar with our academy's traditions. For example, each of you freshmen must participate in the freshman competition, and your grades are divided by ranking. But let me be clear, there are only one hundred people in the ranking. And as of now, there are still a total of one hundred and forty freshmen in our academy."
"So here, I'll first tell you the consequences of not being ranked. If you're not ranked, then you have two choices. First, repeat the year; second, drop out directly. This is what the dean and I decided together decades ago." "
But besides that, I have another requirement for you. First, the top three in cultivation in the class must be in the top ten in the grade. The top five in cultivation in the class must be in the top twenty. The rest must all be in the top fifty. Do you understand?"
As soon as Mo Di finished speaking, Jin Sanqian was looking for death. Sitting in the corner below, he whispered something into Xuan Mo's ear with a hint of curiosity.
"Mozi, what do you think will happen to us if we don't meet his expectations?"
He covered his mouth with his hands to prevent being overheard. But Jin Sanqian had never anticipated that his words and actions would reach Mo Di's eyes and ears.
So, immediately afterwards...
"Nothing will happen."
Jin Sanqian froze in his seat upon hearing the voice, not even daring to turn his head.
Just now,
Mo Di had walked down from the podium after hearing Jin Sanqian's words, completely unaware of what had happened.
The class was completely unaware. Seeing this, Xuan Mo tried to glare wildly, but Mo Di's glare stopped him.
A single thought flashed through Xuan Mo's mind: "Sanqian, you're probably done for."
At the same time...
"Turn around!"
Jin Sanqian felt a wave of fear at Mo Di's voice. Turning around, and seeing the livid look on Mo Di's face, Jin Sanqian's face suddenly turned pale.
"It seems like even after a year, I'm still not particularly effective in your eyes, am I?"
Then, without waiting for Jin Sanqian's rebuttal—no, explanation—he waved his sleeves and walked back to the podium.
Jin Sanqian had initially thought that this time, he'd let it go. "After class, Jin Sanqian, come see me alone."
"Also, I believe you'll meet my expectations. If not, it's on your own."
Mo Di, walking back to the podium, narrowed his eyes. His tone was calm, but the look in his eyes was chilling.
After observing everyone's reactions, he slowly continued.
"Also, there will be some changes regarding this freshman competition. However, these changes are for those who can't make the rankings."
"That is, before we fight, we have to go to the Soul Hunting Forest and hunt soul rings for students who don't have soul rings. A group of three must have a student who has no soul rings or has not broken through to level ten. Then, we will have dedicated staff to score you."
"This will determine who will be in the top 100."
"Okay, that's all for now. Now, class begins."
...
As the class progressed, halfway through,
"Mr. Mo, something bad has happened!" a staff member hurried to the classroom door. Suddenly, the entire class's attention was drawn to this person.
But in the next second, a piece of chalk flew out, hitting the staff member's forehead.
"What are you yelling about? I'm fine, how could I be okay? Are you cursing me?"
The staff member rubbed his swollen forehead, not daring to complain. He could only hurriedly say, "Mr. Mo, something big has happened at the academy!"
"What could be a big deal?"
Mo Di, seeing the anxious look on the staff member's face, though somewhat puzzled, knew it was no joke. No one at the academy dared to play a joke on him.
So, he calmly pulled the staff member out of the classroom, asking as they walked, "Come here and tell me privately what's going on." After a long moment, Xuan Mo saw that Mo Di's face was filled with seriousness, and his expression suddenly darkened.
After leaving behind a sentence, "You guys stay here first, someone will come to deal with it later", Mo Di left in a hurry...
