At the back row,

a handsome young boy stared at the mock exam results that had just been distributed for a long time.

"The total score for academic subjects is 850 points, and I can only get 534,"

"The total score for cultivation bonuses is 400 points, and I can only get 97 points; not to mention practical combat, I can't beat anyone." Jiang Ding sighed deeply.

"Sigh... At this rate, let alone getting into Qianling University's Taoism Department, I won't even be able to get into an ordinary Tier-3 university. Perhaps entering a vocational college earlier to learn a skill might be the righteous path..."

Xianmen Sect, relying on spiritual veins around the world, has built thirty-nine universities.

Most of the students there are ordinary people, and only the twenty-year Cultivation Department teaches the knowledge of cultivations, mastering extraordinary powers, hoping for longevity.

To get into the Taoism Departments of universities around the world, they don't look at your Spiritual Root, cultivation base, or family background; even if you are the direct descendant of an Immortal Jin Dan, it's useless.

The only criterion is the, College Entrance Exam score!

Indeed, you can ignore cultivation and electives; even if you're a failure in cultivation and martial arts, as long as your College Entrance Exam score reaches the cutoff for the Taoism Departments in universities around the world, you will definitely be admitted.

The Xianmen College Entrance Exam is the greatest fairness for all students around the world!

Of course, to give up the 550 points of cultivation bonus and still be able to get into a university's Taoism Department is something few have managed to do in the entire history of Xianmen Sect.

Moreover, aside from getting into the Taoism Department, the cultivation bonus elective is of no other use.

Normal university departments only consider your academic scores.

"Bone-refining Peak!"

His deskmate said with a sour tone, "That's not bad either, being able to carry 800 jin of weight, in ancient times wearing heavy armor, at least it's worth a thousand enemies."

Li Junhao was particularly short and skinny, which made his head look unusually large, giving him a somewhat comical appearance.

"In modern times, it's just a matter of a spray from a submachine gun." Jiang Ding shook his head and sighed, changing the subject, "How much did you score in academic subjects, 690 or 698?"

Rongcheng No.1 Middle School, known as the cradle of students for the Cultivation Department, aside from special admissions like him with high Moral Education scores, everyone else is talented.

"701 points"

Li Junhao lost his sourness, proudly declared.

"Over 700 points?!!"

Jiang Ding exclaimed in surprise.

This was significant—the academic scores may be separate from the cultivation scores, but they are not opposing; rather, they are interconnected and inseparable.

Chinese includes a large amount of foundational knowledge and principles of Talisman and Cultivation Methods; students who can write a good essay will undoubtedly have a strong understanding of talismans and cultivation methods on the path of cultivation in the future;

Mathematics clearly includes calculation and basic knowledge related to Formation Methods;

Science Comprehensive's Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Liberal Arts Comprehensive's History and Geography are all closely related to Spirit Beasts, Spiritual Materials, Artifact Refining, Spiritual Veins, and so on in cultivation.

However,

cultivation is a subject where theory and practice are closely integrated.

Without becoming a cultivator and lacking Mana and Divine Sense, one cannot truly observe and practice the things in the books.

It's like a eunuch painting erotic images—all based on imagination, relying solely on book principles, formation structures, Mana flow charts, etc., to calculate the answers.

It's like there's a thick cloth in the way.

No matter how clever one is, there's a limit; even if someone is talented and works hard, under these conditions, it's extremely good for an average person to score four or five hundred points.

"You might consider which of the TOP 2 universities you want to attend," said Jiang Ding with more than a touch of envy.

The top academic students usually only score in the six hundreds; this already marks them as potential students for Qingfeng University and Beidou University, the top two institutions within the Xianmen Sect.

Of course, that's just for ordinary departments; the most gifted in cultivation won't compete with them.

Seven hundred points is a threshold.

It means he can match the most elite cultivation talents in some aspect or aspects of the subject of cultivation.

It's just a pity that in the Three Levels of Body Refinement—refining the skin, flesh, and bones, to create Inner Qi, and to return After the Day to Innate—Li Junhao barely managed to reach the late stage of skin refinement, earning only 10 points for his realm; his scores were similarly dismal for hot weapons and cold weapons, and in practical combat electives, scoring single digits with only 5 points in each, adding up to a pitiful total of 25 points for cultivation electives.

"Sigh~"

The two exchanged a glance, revealing bitter smiles.

In the past decade, even the lowest required score for the Taoism Department at the local Qianling University has been 842; both of them had no hope whatsoever.

"It's just not fair."

Li Junhao stealthily glanced at the dozen or so people in the front row,

"They scored less than 400 in academic subjects, but because they have Innate Spiritual Roots, they don't need to learn martial arts, forge their bodies, create Inner Qi, nor Return After the Day to Innate. They were born able to practice cultivation methods and become exalted Qi Practitioners, managing to get over 200 points in cultivation bonuses without studying, leaving us, who study hard until two in the morning, far behind."

Li Junhao revealed his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Ding knew that actually, he was very proud, having studied the academic courses better than most Qi cultivating cultivators without Mana and Divine Sense.

But this pride was shattered by the raw disparities of reality.
