Chapter 69 Main Campus Assessment
Time flies, and this batch of freshmen will soon face the assessment to enter the main campus.

The process of practicing magic is filled with endless repetition and boredom.

The long periods of repetitive practice, meditation, control and release are unbearably boring for many students at the Qing Campus.

Faced with continuous repetitive training, some students may choose to give up because they cannot stand the monotony and instead seek other forms of entertainment. This is the main reason why the vast majority of old students still stay in the Qing campus.

Every student who is admitted to the Pearl Academy is an outstanding one. In terms of talent, it may take a year longer to break through to the intermediate level, but it is definitely not difficult.

But the only reasonable explanation for the fact that they stayed in Qing Campus for more than two years is that these students did not practice magic diligently.

Qingtian Hunting Ground——

The little Loli Lingling sat leisurely at the bar, holding the milk tea that Xu Mu had just bought in one hand and busy typing on the laptop on her lap with the other.

The continuous sighs from the side seemed to make her a little impatient.

She bared her little fangs, glared at Xu Mu fiercely, and complained unhappily, "Why are you sighing all day long?"

"I don't want to either. It's been almost a year, and there's still no breakthrough in the space system." Xu Mu said, and sighed again.

Improving his spatial abilities was a real headache. He had tried to break through the nebula three times this month, but ended in failure every time.

My spiritual heart is about to collapse.

"The space system is difficult to cultivate, so it's normal to fail to break through. What's more, you're only a freshman! Among the freshmen, who can reach the intermediate level of dual systems?" Lingling glared at Xu Mu in dissatisfaction.

Without the support of family resources, he wants to reach the double intermediate level already in his freshman year. Isn't this guy a bit too ambitious?
"Yes." Xu Mu answered affirmatively, and then added, "I have a childhood friend who reached the intermediate level of dual systems when he graduated from high school."

"It seems that your childhood friend has a very good family background and has a lot of resources to support him." Lingling replied without even looking up, "Otherwise, how could he have reached the middle level of dual-element strength in high school?"

"Well... you could say that." Xu Mu answered after thinking for a while. After all, the Holy Spring and the loach are both very precious resources.

Especially the little loach, it is the only one in the world that is unmatched by any other totem vessel, it is priceless and out of market.

On the surface, Mo Fan seems to have no resources, but the resources he fights for secretly are no less than those received from the aristocratic families.

"That's OK?"

Lingling raised her head and glanced at Xu Mu with a puzzled look, but quickly lowered her head to continue fiddling with her computer without asking any further questions.

"How is your lightning skill now? I have some well-paid commissions here, but it depends on your ability to decide whether you can accept them." Lingling asked suddenly.

"Same as the previous intermediate level two, a little short of intermediate level three." Xu Mu shrugged. In the past year, he had made a balanced distribution between the space system and the thunder system in his meditation.

Five hours of practice time is devoted every day, which makes the progress of thunder practice relatively slow.

However, even though it was slow, his progress in lightning cultivation was far faster than that of his peers.

At least Mo Fan hasn't learned intermediate magic yet, and Dongfang Lie and the other children from noble families have only reached the intermediate level one.

His cultivation strength can be said to be far ahead. In the entire Qing campus, the only opponents that he finds difficult to deal with are probably Ding Yumian and Yu Qiuyue whom he encountered in the beast fighting competition.

"With your natural talent, you might be able to give these commissions a try."

……

In the following days, Xu Mu and Lingling rushed around in the Magic City to complete various commissioned tasks, until a few days later, the main campus assessment for this year came. The assessment location was still Qingdou Hall, the venue that once held the beast fighting competition, and now it welcomed the main campus assessment event.

“I don’t know what the assessment content of the main campus will be this year?” A worried voice was heard from the crowd.

"I hope this assessment won't involve a direct confrontation with a demon."

"If the assessment is just a duel between students, then that's fine. I don't want to be ambushed by Lao Liu. I still hope there will be a simpler and more direct assessment method."

The students were worried. The content of the main campus assessment varied each year. Sometimes the teachers would capture a few monsters and let the students fight the dangerous monsters, and sometimes they would have a melee with other students.

Although all students are eligible to take the assessment at the main campus, only a few can pass, so the elimination rate is very high.

There are more than 50,000 students in the Qing campus. According to the previous elimination rate, at most 2,000 people can successfully pass the assessment and get the opportunity to study in the main campus.

Among these two thousand students who have the opportunity to enter the main campus, a large proportion are old students who have stayed in the Qing campus for one or two years, which makes it more difficult for freshmen to get the opportunity to enter the main campus.

Dean Xiao spoke on the podium with a firm and powerful voice: "I am very pleased. From the freshman meeting to now, I have seen the growth and progress of many students."

"The Qing Campus is the end point of your youth practice. It is like a small warm pond, located before you are about to face rapids and waterfalls."

"Leaving this warm pond is the starting point of your magical journey. What awaits you ahead are real challenges and adventures."

“No matter how much grievance, injustice and suffering you have experienced, you must face it bravely and overcome it. Remember, no one will sympathize with the weak. Only those who can persevere to the end can become true magicians!” Dean Xiao’s words were sonorous and powerful, and his words were shocking.

It is a fact known to all students that the competition in the main campus is fierce. However, from what Dean Xiao said, they seem to have greatly underestimated the cruelty of the main campus.

This year's main campus assessment is conducted in the form of entrustment. Students can form teams freely. The larger the number of people in the team, the more difficult the entrusted tasks they face will be.

The school provides multiple commissioned tasks for each team to choose from based on their strength. As long as they successfully complete one of them, they can pass the assessment.

"Why do I feel like this assessment is targeting me?" Xu Mu complained in a low voice.

"Maybe I'm also being targeted." Yu Qiuyue's voice came from the side.

Xu Mu looked in the direction of the voice and found that Yu Qiuyue had come to his side without him noticing.

"Are you interested in working with me?" Yu Qiuyue combed her hair with her hands and looked at Xu Mu calmly.

"Don't you have the confidence to complete the assessment?" Xu Mu asked puzzledly.

For a summoned beast of the general level, what assessment commission can’t it complete?

"Once my summoned beast goes berserk, it's hard to control it. Although it won't harm me, I don't have the ability to fight myself." Yu Qiuyue spread her hands helplessly, expressing her helplessness.

The Flameblood Falcon has many advantages, but its tendency to go berserk is a real headache for summoners.

Once it enters a violent state, it is like a stubborn husky. Although it will not hurt its owner, it will no longer obey the owner's commands.

Even if a Flameblood Falcon in a berserk state encounters a powerful commander-level creature, it will rush forward to challenge without hesitation. It can be said to be the Husky of birds.

This is also the reason why she awakened the water system as her second system. Water magic, basic defense, intermediate output... She really needs defense.
