Xu Baiyan explained.
To train from an ordinary person to 50 cards is no easy feat. Once they have the Qi Wheel, these people often progress with astonishing speed.
Itâs not really because of the bone imageâs blessing.
But because of their aptitude and talent.
Youâre already excellent; you just started a bit late.
Whether itâs bone washing or grading, youâll be quick.
Talent is something beyond explanation!
"Sigh, itâs troubling.
"Why is there even an option for bone washing? Itâs giving me a headache!"
Su Yue frowned.
Risking life and limb to enter the Wetlands, all for a vague and elusive goal.
Is it worth it!
"Itâs easy to understand.
"Since you were a child, in exams, 60 points is a pass. Why do you think the test paper provides an option for 100 points?
"To differentiate between outstanding and average, itâs about looking at the scores beyond 60.
"The score of the college entrance exam is a basic assessment.
"For some, 60 points is enough. It doesnât affect their entry into college, nor does it impact their life after college graduation, as long as they maintain 60 points.
"But for others, 80 points is necessary. The golden bone image is akin to 80 points.
"For some exceptionally talented individuals, they aim for 98 points, which is platinum."
"As for the last 2 points, they are reserved for unique strong individuals, just like Senior Yuan Longhan!"
Xu Baiyan sighed.
"We all know that bone images are related to future breakthroughs to the Grandmaster Realm.
"The foundation for the golden bone image is 80 points, so itâs not too hard, but not easy either.
"However, the platinum bone image is 98 points. With such a solid foundation, reaching the Grandmaster Realm becomes a natural progressionâitâs the result of long-term accumulation.
"For those at 60 points, they will need to strengthen their foundation when they break through... Actually, this is also a waste of time; itâs just postponed.
"Both paths can lead to the end, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, grading is higher. After all, not everyone lives long enough to attempt the Grandmaster breakthrough.
"And your triple washing goal is already an extraordinary full-score realm, which I also donât understand!"
Xu Baiyan patted Su Yueâs arm.
No one is qualified to make a decision for Su Yue.
I am neither a Grandmaster, nor do I have a transcendent bone image.
You canât use your own speculation to dictate someoneâs fate, especially your brotherâs fate.
Is the Wetlands dangerous?
Very dangerous.
Especially dangerous for an ungraded martial artist.
But even if Su Yue becomes a Grandmaster, he will still face danger. Every now and then, a Grandmaster falls in the Divine Land; this is the fate of martial artists in this era.
Many things cannot be abandoned due to danger.
Everything must be up to Su Yue to choose.
"Letâs not think about it for now. Iâll decide after the college entrance exam tomorrow!"
Su Yue shook his head.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he felt.
In truth, 98 points are really enough.
But everyone knows that Yuan Longhan is the backbone of the Divine Land because he was exceptional from a young age, consistently achieving full scores along the way.
Ding!
A text message arrived!
[Su Yue, considering your significant contribution to Cengyan City, the Admiralâs Mansion will reward you with the following: a Beast Selection Waist Bag, an E-grade weapon, a cash reward of 800,000, and a merit medal. You may collect them at any time from the Admiralâs Mansion. Wishing you a happy life and success in your studies.]
The reward was distributed quite quicklyânice indeed.
"The Beast Selection Waist Bag, the Admiralâs Mansion is quite considerate."
Xu Baiyan glanced at the message and then sighed with emotion.
"Whatâs a Beast Selection Waist Bag?"
Su Yue was stunned.
Just now, he was somewhat dissatisfied, wondering what good a waist bag could be.
"This is a treasure for collecting items in the Wetlands, extremely precious, and not available on the market. Even exchanging it on the Wuda official website requires certain conditions, besides academic credits, you also need to have entered the Wetlands ten times with special contributions.
"You should know, for most martial artists, entering the Wetlands three times is mandatory service. Beyond seven times, the survival rate is only 70%, with a 30% mortality rate. Entering ten times requires real skill, plus some luck.
"I only just exchanged my Beast Selection Waist Bag three months ago, and Iâm already a third-year at Beiwu University."
Speaking of this made Xu Baiyan a bit envious.
A freshman holding a Beast Selection Waist Bag is legendary.
"Does Yang Le have one?"
Su Yue asked.
Thereâs a chance to show off.
"That bastard Yang Lezhi somehow got incredibly lucky. Originally, he wasnât qualified to exchange for one, but last month he saved an injured Grandmaster in the Wetlands, earning great meritâthe damned bum!"
Speaking of Yang Lezhi, Xu Baiyan gritted his teeth.
"Is this waist bag... a spatial artifact?"
Su Yue suddenly asked mysteriously.
"Spatial my foot! Youâre dreaming!
"A Beast Selection is a kind of fierce beast in the Wetlands; its skin can stretch and expand dozens of times without tearing.
"Human martial artists carrying a Beast Selection Waist Bag can bring back a lot of stuff.
"And the Divine Land developed a type of locking technology so only the owner could open it. Even if it falls into someone elseâs hands, or even an alienâs, it canât be opened, making it relatively safe."
Xu Baiyan explained, leaving Su Yue amazed.
It seemed truly valuable.
Its ability to expand dozens of times without tearing indeed made it seem capable of holding a lot.
Normally hanging at the waist, you could even stuff a person in when needed.
Astonishing.
As for that weapon, it was also quite valuable.
Alloy weapons are divided into: A, B, C, D, E, F grades.
Liao Jiâs dagger before was an F-grade alloy weapon.
While the broadsword used to slay a spicy giant pepper was Lu Xinrongâs E-grade weapon, quite formidable.
As for the money.
The government canât give too much, so something is better than nothing.
The main value lies in the rare Beast Selection Waist Bag.
...
Su Yue didnât delay. He directly went to the Admiralâs Mansion to collect his rewards.
With this merit medal, Su Yue now had three badges. Unknowingly, he had done so many good deeds.
The function of these badges is to wear them on clothing at significant ceremonies, considered part of formal attire.
The waist bag wasnât really big, but its design was quite scientific.
Except for the color being a bit black, it was the same model as those worn by fruit vendors at their waist. Su Yue tried it out; its elasticity was indeed amazing, and couldnât be cut open even with a knife.
Compared to the plowhide armor, the Beast Selection Waist Bag was clearly more valuable, as the plowhide armor lacked such elasticity.
Xu Baiyan mentioned that in the Wetlands, the Beast Selection is harder to hunt, so the government couldnât waste it on making armor since the plowhide armor was already sufficient.
...
The next day!
At six oâclock in the morning, everyone was already at the mourning hall.
Last time Su Yue came here was for the farewell of fellow high school students who had passed away.
This time, it was to bid farewell to comrades from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau who had fallen in battle.
This kind of place puts people in a somber mood.
Li Xingpei, dressed in black, also personally came to send off the heroes. Looking at the children holding portraits of the deceased, Su Yueâs eyes became moist, and his heart felt heavy.
"Heroes, farewell on your journey!"
Everyone bowed towards the portraits!
Time in the potential class was tight. Leaving the mourning hall, they directly headed to the education bureau.
The college entrance exam testing device is specially provided by the Divine Cabinet, usually kept sealed.
Su Yue, limping slightly, naturally scored a result of 42 cards in the test.
For those truly prepared, the college entrance exam is merely an ordinary stop on lifeâs journey.
Other students in the potential class scored normally, with even one student performing extraordinarily, earning an extra card than usual, making him almost faint with joy.
...
PS: Considering everyoneâs opinion, Chapter 109 was modified. Su Yue monitoring the foam combat rating has been changed to costing 500, necessary to test skills.
Today, there are only two Chapters; the author will study the climax in detail to prevent everyone from finding loopholes. Every time I see a loophole, the author gets nervous.
Especially those who skip updates, are you forcing me to update 30,000 words a day? I canât do it!
The bookâs performance is poor, but I hope everyone can help a bit. What I can do is maintain at least 10,000 words per dayâthank you, everyone.
