I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 67: College Entrance Exam_l

Translator: 549690339

On the day of the high school graduation exam.

Chen Xinglan also specially rushed over from the Red Dawn Institution to cheer her son on.

Compared to his parents, Chen Mobai looked relaxed, carrying his admission ticket and a pencil case, walking into the examination room with composure.

Ever since he achieved Divine Sense, he has been reviewing the knowledge in the textbooks, and he has mastered it all within two months.

Although it can’t be said that he has completely grasped everything, he at least understood every single point of knowledge, and when encountering a related question, he could easily retrieve the corresponding content from his memory.

On the first morning, the Technique paper.

Chen Mobai kept filling in smoothly from beginning to end, only stumbling slightly at the very last question.

This final comprehensive question exceeded the scope of high school knowledge, but Chen Mobai was prepared. He used the knowledge stored in his mind to deduce the omissions in this spell, completed it, and although he couldn’t say it was the standard answer, he filled in every blank space.

Among the students with worried looks, he calmly turned in his paper and left.

In the afternoon were questions on Bane.

Although he hadn’t studied this area in-depth, his interactions with Qing Nu had taught him some extracurricular knowledge. After writing all the answers he knew on the paper, he didn’t bother to exert himself further and stopped writing, waiting until the bell rang for the end of the exam.

On the next morning was the Vessel paper.

He had no idea about the final comprehensive question, so he had to fill it out to the best of his abilities.

Lastly was the Formation paper.

Chen Mobai smoothly completed the penultimate question, then tackled the final comprehensive question with a let’s-see-what-happens attitude.

After three different papers, he had deciphered the pattern: the last comprehensive question involved knowledge beyond the textbooks, which was designed to separate the high-grade papers.

Each paper is scored out of too.

According to previous years’ cutoffs, generally, a score of 330 and above would allow one to apply to the top ten academies and take the entrance exams. As for entrance to the four Great Daoist Academies, last year’s cutoff was 350 points.

However, these scores fluctuate, depending on the number of candidates.

At this point, Chen Mobai finished reading the final comprehensive question regarding formation and couldn’t help but show a look of delight when he understood it.

[10. Please provide at least two methods of repairing the incomplete Array Plate for the Overwhelming Sea Formation. Also, specify the effects of the five different Array Flags in the Overwhelming Sea Formation and arrange them in the order of the diagram in Example 1 to form the complete Formation. (This question is worth 20 points and no points will be deducted for incorrect answers.)]

“If I score over 90 points on this test, I’m definitely treating Teacher Chan to a meal.”

Chen Mobai muttered to himself, took out his ruler, and based on his understanding of the Azure Water Formation, he integrated it into the Overwhelming Sea Formation. First, he completed the design of the entire formation and then began answering the question according to the diagram.

The rules of formation may change, but the principles remain the same. The Overwhelming Sea Formation, like the Azure Water Formation, is a Rank-2 formation rooted in the Water Vein.

Chen Mobai reviewed the functions of the Azure Water Formation’s Array Flags, then filled out their corresponding names in the Overwhelming Sea Formation diagram.

Finally came the methods of repairing the Array Plate. Having directly repaired an Azure Water Array before and subsequently confirmed his findings online as well as consulted with Chan Si, he had stored several methods of repairing large formations in his mind.

Chen Mobai was a forward-thinking person and in fear of encountering problems with the Azure Water Large Formation again, he had stored more than two formation repairing methods in his mind.

Given the incomplete Array Plate of the Overwhelming Sea Formation in the question stem, Chen Mobai selected the two most suitable repair methods from his memory and filled them out satisfactorily.

This Formation paper was the one that took him the longest and required the most effort. He only finished just before the bell rang five minutes before the end of the paper.

Finally, he used his Divine Sense to review it once, then put down his pen with relief.

“Phew! I should have scored about 15 points.”

Although Chen Mobai had confidence in the final comprehensive question of this Formation paper, in the end, the Azure Water Formation was a formation from the Tianhe Realm. Even though Chan Si had helped him understand it with Earth Origin Star’s knowledge, it still differed from the Overwhelming Sea Formation.

If he could score 15 out of 20 points, he would be very satisfied.

For the four papers, there were 320 points for knowledge from the textbooks, of which he was confident of scoring full marks. Aside from the final comprehensive question on the Vessel Paper which he had no idea about and could only fill in to the best of his abilities, he believed he should be able to score some points for the small questions on the Technique Paper and Elixir Paper.

If he performed well, he might just scrape 350 points, qualifying for the entrance exams to the four Great Daoist Academies.

For cultivators who have achieved Divine Sense, the moment they finish the exam, they can estimate their scores with a high degree of accuracy.

Chen Mobai was no exception.

However, he did not check his answers, wanting to leave himself with some hope to keep his mood up during the vacation.

“Freedom at last!”

“Finally, it’s over!”

“Damn that Overwhelming Sea Formation…”

After the high school graduation exam ended, all the various faces of the students in the Immortal Gate High School N0.5 were revealed. Chen Mobai leaned against a pillar in the corridor, watching the emotional rollercoaster of his classmates laughing, cursing, or shouting in victory, and suddenly felt out of place.

After achieving Divine Sense, these emotional ups and downs had become food for his Divine Sense, leaving him constantly calm but also gradually losing the normal joys and sorrows of a common person.

Is this what it means to practice Immortal Cultivation?

Suddenly, Chen Mobai understood why the higher the level of cultivation achieved, the lesser the person liked to interact within society.

But he had the feeling that this was not right.

If cultivating to become an Immortal resulted in losing what it means to be human, then what’s the point of becoming an Immortal?

Or is it that Immortals are supposed to leave behind worldly desires and materialistic pleasures?

As he pondered, a gaze fell on him. Chen Mobai looked up and saw Song Zheng.

They nodded at each other and then left the bustling classroom together, heading for the playing field outside.

“You just achieved Divine Sense, so it’s normal if you’re not used to it. Yan Bingxuan and I decided to pretend to be aloof and limit our interaction with you to avoid this issue.”

Song Zheng spoke, indicating that it wasn’t just Chen Mobai—they had felt the same.

“Is Cultivation all about retreating from society in the end?”

“My teacher said that most Cultivators in the Immortal Gate cultivate amidst the mundane world. Those who wish to become Hermits usually end up dying alone.”

Upon hearing Song Zheng’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh. Considering the scarcity of resources and the Spirit Veins wholly held by the Immortal Gate, if someone truly wished to retreat to a mountaintop, the lack of Spiritual Energy supply might genuinely lead to such a fate.

“Which one of the top ten academies do you choose?”

Song Zheng asked again.

“Oh, so you have that much faith in me?”

Chen Mobai looked surprised. He wasn’t very familiar with Song Zheng.

“Our teacher said you often ask him questions about Spells. If you wish, we can call each other brothers. If we can go to the same academy in the future, it would be better, so we can look out for each other.”

“Isn’t your goal one of the four Great Daoist Academies?”

“I only managed to answer the last question on the Technique Paper, so my points might not reach 350.”

As he spoke, the always proud Song Zheng suddenly sighed and showed a solemn expression that Chen Mobai had never seen before.

“I should probably choose between the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy. I just don’t know if they’ll accept me.”

Chen Mobai also spoke up. Even though he and Song Zheng were not close, old man Ding had treated him very well.

“My three choices of preference are: Primordial Elemental Academy, Nature Studies Academy, and Heavenly Book Academy. I hope we can go to the Primordial Elemental Academy together..”
