In the blink of an eye, it was already Wednesday night, marking the third day since Taibai Phecda left.
During this time, the top five high schools in Taihua City (as everyone knows, the Four Heavenly Kings are actually five) carried out rigorous special training for the reference students.
The largest training ground in the city was also jointly rented by the eight schools, starting preparations and modifications for the joint exam.
The matter of the joint exam spread rapidly throughout Taihua City with promotions from various sources.
Even quite a few tickets were sold, and just from these ticket sales, it’s estimated they could cover more than half of the expenses during the event.
If all goes well, the Observing Heaven Pavilion delegation will visit Taihua City tomorrow morning.
This intensified the tense atmosphere among the eight schools, while the special training for the examinees entered its final stage.
Inside the Special Advancement Class at Taihua High School.
After undergoing six hours of electric shock, Su Yuan stopped the Celestial Thunder Spirit Clothing for the classmates and fed each of them a top-tier healing elixir left by Taibai Phecda, worth five thousand points.
Within three hours, all the visible and hidden injuries the students sustained in the past three days would fully recover.
As for who would pay for these elixirs?
Of course, it would be the students themselves.
It wasn’t that Su Yuan was fleecing them, but it was a necessary expense after high-intensity training.
Even without Su Yuan’s special training, everyone would still get injured under Taibai Phecda’s training and take similar elixirs.
Did you think the monthly resource expense of one million for the Special Advancement Class was a joke?
After giving them the elixirs, Su Yuan immediately forced everyone into deep sleep to alleviate their mental fatigue over the past three days.
When they wake up again, both their mental and physical state will reach their peak.
It’s safe to say that the consideration was quite comprehensive.
"Su Yuan, after three days of special training, how much have the students improved?"
Chen Nuoyi, who had also finished her cultivation, asked curiously.
Without hesitation, Su Yuan replied:
"According to the detection equipment left by Teacher Taibai, our class had an average Potential Index of only 0.53 three days ago."
"This was already after studying in the Special Advancement Class for half a month; initially, the average Potential Index was only 0.42."
"And after the three-day special training, the average Potential Index of the 38 students in the class has reached... 0.62."
Upon hearing these numbers, even though Chen Nuoyi was prepared, she couldn’t help but be astonished.
A near 0.1 increase in Potential Index!
It’s important to know that when Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying first joined the Special Advancement Class, their Potential Index was only in the 0.6 range!
The big increase in Potential Index was largely due to the new training method acquired by the class that resulted in a period of rapid progress.
Moreover, the Potential Index tends to drop slightly after a breakthrough in realm, with very few ever surpassing an index of one.
Yet this still couldn’t overshadow the astounding results of three days of special training.
Meanwhile, as they improved, the talented students from strong schools like Yaoxing High School and Xiaoshui High School might also be advancing quickly.
But no matter what, their progress can’t be faster than ours, right?
"Well, do you know the average Potential Index of the reference students from other high schools?"
Chen Nuoyi asked again.
Su Yuan nodded:
"Recently, I used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to invade the mobile phones of reference students from the other seven schools and got some of their self-recorded combat videos."
"By analyzing the videos, I can roughly estimate their average Potential Index."
"Let’s not talk about the weaker schools; just Yaoxing and Xiaoshui High School have average Potential Indices of 0.69 and 0.65 respectively."
"Before Xiao Kong transferred, the average Potential Index of the top 38 students in these two schools wouldn’t have been this high at all."
"It seems these schools have made significant efforts to withstand the pressure from Teacher Taibai, perhaps even inviting other Golden Core Great Cultivators to teach."
"Following that ranking, our Taihua High School comes next, and the others have average Potential Indices lower than ours."
Chen Nuoyi was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but be amazed:
"Is our gap with Yaoxing and Xiaoshui really this small? If that’s the case, combined with your hypnosis methods, we might actually win."
Su Yuan shook his head and said:
"It’s not that simple. Although our average Potential Index is close to Yaoxing and Xiaoshui, don’t forget their students’ average cultivation is much higher than ours."
"Our class’s average cultivation at best is just barely entering Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, but these two schools... their average cultivation reaches Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, even close to the Peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer."
"In fact, there are two other schools besides Yaoxing and Xiaoshui where the students’ average cultivation is higher than ours."
Hearing these numbers, the girl Liu Mei furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
In situations where the Potential Index is similar, the side with higher cultivation almost certainly wins.
What’s more, Yaoxing and Xiaoshui have Li Zhengxing and Xiao Meng, two exceptional leaders, under whose guidance their teamwork only becomes stronger.
"If we had two or three more months, under your guidance, overtaking Yaoxing and Xiaoshui would be inevitable..."
Chen Nuoyi said softly:
"But with only a few hours left, is there any way to boost the team’s core strength?"
"There is."
Before the girl’s voice fell, Su Yuan immediately replied.
Chen Nuoyi: "... There actually is!"
She looked up, gazed at Su Yuan’s calm and confident eyes, and couldn’t help but choose to believe.
Suddenly, the girl’s smile was as radiant as a flower.
She found Su Yuan truly amazing, always able to produce the most unexpected solutions when times were toughest.
Working to earn money was like this, and so was studying.
Since Su Yuan had already promised to achieve the first place in the joint exam, she realized there was no need to worry from the very beginning.
"Then please, what is the method? If it requires testing, can I be the guinea pig first?"
Chen Nuoyi asked with a smile.
Looking at the girl’s eyes filled with innocence and trust, Su Yuan felt a slight embarrassment for some reason.
He raised his hand and scratched his face awkwardly:
"Well, it’s not easy for me to start while you’re awake, so maybe you should take a nap, and I’ll use the method when you’re asleep."
The girl’s smile froze slightly on her pretty face.
What do you mean by not easy to start when I’m awake?
What do you plan to do while I’m asleep!
"No... that’s not necessary; that would make me feel very unsafe."
Chen Nuoyi’s pretty face turned slightly red as she spoke seriously.
Seeing that the other party had said this much, Su Yuan had no choice but to nod reluctantly:
"Alright then, before I perform the Secret Technique, please lie down flat on the podium, class president."
Chen Nuoyi nodded, said nothing more, and lay flat on the podium, her small hands naturally dropping, but feeling a bit at a loss; she was clearly very nervous.
The girl suddenly felt like a little white mouse lying on an experimental bench.
As Su Yuan walked to the edge of the podium, looking down at her, this sense of déjà vu became even stronger.
Feeling inexplicably shy, Chen Nuoyi even considered closing her eyes.
Just then, she remembered something and quickly reminded:
"By the way, Su Yuan, no external items are allowed during the joint exam, or it would be considered cheating. Is your Secret Technique entirely based on your own powers?"
"Of course."
Su Yuan nodded with a smile, then stretched his hand towards Chen Nuoyi’s upper garment.
When Su Yuan’s hand touched her skin through her clothes, the girl’s delicate body trembled slightly, and her ears blushed a bright red.
But knowing that Su Yuan was performing a Secret Technique, she endured the embarrassment and didn’t struggle.
Then, she saw Su Yuan lifting her top gradually, revealing her smooth and pale belly.
Chen Nuoyi: "???"
Now she didn’t feel like a guinea pig.
More so, it was the ominous sensation of a girl about to face danger after being unknowingly approached by a villain while asleep.
So, if I weren’t awake, would Su Yuan do such things to me without my knowledge?
