Zhou Bai nodded upon hearing the words, allowing the force of his Primordial Spirit, measuring 287, to be released without reservation, filling the air with a series of dull sounds.
The next moment, accompanied by a booming explosion, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit force struck fiercely against the metal plate.
As the metal plate vibrated violently, a series of data instantly popped up on the nearby instrument.
A look of surprise flashed across the female teacher’s face as she looked up and said in astonishment, "Is it really 287 of Primordial Spirit force?"
The male teacher also turned his attention towards Zhou Bai, his eyes wide, "287 of Primordial Spirit force? How on earth did you cultivate it?"
Zhou Bai responded nonchalantly, "I don’t know either, I just practice casually every day. Suddenly, one day it reached 287, maybe this is what they call a genius."
Male teacher thought, ’If this kid continues to grow at this rate... he might be beaten to death.’
It had taken him almost a year to break through 280, whereas the other had only taken two months, truly infuriating.
Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, the female teacher touched her chest and thought, ’That’s so infuriating. I really want to hit him.’
After checking Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit value, the male teacher also began to anticipate Zhou Bai’s Dao Degree, "Let’s test the Dao Degree next, 5.1%, right?"
He operated the machine, and layers of protective panels opened, revealing an all-black jade book in front of everyone.
"You must know this and have used it before, this is the Immortal Ascension Book, no need for me to teach you how to use it, right?"
Zhou Bai nodded. During this period, he had used the Immortal Ascension Book in the school’s practice room. It was said that the Immortal Ascension Book directly connects to the Heavenly Dao and records all the names of the immortals and gods.
The book before him was not the main body of the Immortal Ascension Book but a sub-volume, capable of determining the Dao Degree. There were countless such copies in the Dao School.
Zhou Bai stepped forward and placed his hand on the Immortal Ascension Book. Under the watchful eyes of the two teachers, the book displayed a series of unknown Dao scriptures.
Zhou Bai began to read the contents that appeared, and as he finished each phrase, it would flash with white light on the Immortal Ascension Book.
When Zhou Bai reached the 51st phrase, no more white light appeared, and he couldn’t clearly see the words beyond that.
This was the method used by the Immortal Ascension Book to check the Dao Degree.
Every tester, depending on their Dao Degree, could read a different number of phrases. Zhou Bai’s 51 phrases represented a Dao Degree of 5.1%.
It was said that when the Dao Degree reached 100%, they could read all the scriptures on the Immortal Ascension Book, possessing the effect of ascending directly to the heavenly court and being listed among the immortals.
"51 phrases? Really 5.1% Dao Degree?" The male teacher’s envy intensified as he looked at Zhou Bai, "You reached Dao Treasure 05 in just two months? I remember having nightmares for over a month when I first read Dao Treasure 05, it took a long time to adapt."
The teacher’s words were full of sighs and reflection.
Female teacher thought, ’Feels like I’ve been stabbed in the chest again.’
Which cultivator hasn’t dreamed of being a one-in-a-million genius? But reality often disappoints, and in the end, one can only accept their mediocrity through repeated failures.
Yet, the talent displayed by Zhou Bai made both teachers feel envious, wishing they could possess such talent themselves.
Next was the testing of the progress in the Spiritual Diagram.
The 0th layer’s ’Sword Diagram,’ specifically the sword Qi of the fifth star point, its power and characteristics had already been meticulously recorded.
Zhou Bai had Christina manipulate the Sword Qi, allowing the two teachers to conduct checks easily, and he passed smoothly.
The two teachers exchanged glances, a hint of relief crossing their faces.
In just two months, a Dao Degree of 5.1% and a Primordial Spirit value of 287, it was already staggering.
If his cultivation of the Spiritual Diagram had been higher, it would have been monstrous.
Fortunately, his Spiritual Diagram was only at five star points, enough to be prominent amongst his peers but not excessive.
However, what they didn’t know was that Zhou Bai’s real cultivation in the Spiritual Diagram had reached the seventh star point. In terms of the Sword Diagram, he had already completed the 0th layer.
Next, Zhou Bai underwent a mental state assessment and a spirit pollution check with the help of the two teachers.
After ensuring everything was safe, the male teacher said, "Alright, no issues. You can go with peace of mind. As for your current testing data, don’t worry, we will keep it confidential."
Zhou Bai exclaimed, "Ah? Why keep it confidential? I don’t need it to be confidential."
The male teacher reassured with a look, "The results of the second round of tests have to be temporarily kept confidential for grading, as the upcoming live combat relies heavily on intelligence. Inequitable intelligence could sway the results, so we will announce the scores of the second round after the live combat assessment."
Zhou Bai looked uncomfortable.
’I really don’t need you to keep it secret.’
’Shouldn’t you reveal my strength instead?’
’Sigh, if I can’t show off a bit, I’m going to die.’
With the disappointment of being unable to show off, Zhou Bai left the room.
But just as he was about to exit the door, the male teacher called out to Zhou Bai, "Your theoretical score is too low. Even though the cultivation test of the second round broke records, it only matches your theoretical score. If you want a better overall score, you need to put in more effort in the live combat."
Zhou Bai looked at the male teacher with surprise, "Thank you, teacher. I understand."

The male teacher nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "I don’t know if your teachers have mentioned this during classes. If they have, then excuse my redundancy.
The third round may have rankings, but the rankings and scores aren’t proportional. The live combat scores are given by the teachers based on your overall performance in the combat.
Even if two students are ranked consecutively, if one demonstrates more than double the combat power of the other, their scores might differ by double."
Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up, and he nodded to the male teacher, "Thank you, teacher, this is very useful for me."
In fact, Lv Chongyang had discussed the specific rules during class, but Zhou Bai had skipped that class and so had not heard them.
Later, Zhou Bai’s theoretical test score disappointed Lv Chongyang, who naturally did not bother to discuss the grading specifics with Zhou Bai.
Now, after hearing the male teacher’s hints, Zhou Bai felt even more confident about securing the top rank in the assessment.
Several hours later, all 600 students of the 503rd batch headed toward the number 6 training field.
Walking on the school streets, Zhou Bai looked around and noticed that the school seemed particularly crowded today, with many children and middle-aged people present.
Zhou Bai thought, "Could they be here for the live combat assessment? That can’t be right..."
As he reached the number 6 training field, he saw that the vast field with hundreds of platforms, each marked with numbers from 1 to 100, had been laid out.
