In fact, judging by Luo Feng's awakening as a spiritual master, this process was not entirely a good thing.
At least the awakening process was accompanied by extreme pain, which was truly unbearable for most people.
Wei Wen, who was in another examination room, saw the reward notification and already understood Luo Feng's situation.
The pain of awakening suddenly caused Wei Wen's blood pressure to rise, and he felt his heartbeat quicken.
Under normal circumstances, with the blessing of the system, his mental power was already higher than Luo Feng's, and the pain of awakening was no less severe than Luo Feng's.
Even with Luo Feng's strong will, he couldn't endure it; let alone Wei Wen, who had a weaker will.
However, Wei Wen was pleasantly surprised to find that when he awakened as a spiritual master, he only felt mild discomfort, which was obviously not as intense as what Luo Feng experienced.
He couldn't help but feel delighted at the reduction in negative feedback.
"Although it feels a bit uncomfortable, the system seems to favor positive feedback, and this negative feedback has little impact on me," Wei Wen smiled to himself.
Every time Luo Feng grew stronger and received opportunities, it didn't come without its challenges.
If Wei Wen remembered correctly, the pain that Luo Feng experienced when refining the Blood Luo Crystal and the Star Tower was something that ordinary people couldn't easily endure.
If such feedback intensified and fell upon Wei Wen, given his willpower, it was possible that he could faint on the spot.
After all, compared to Luo Feng, his will and mentality were far inferior.
But now that the negative feedback had been significantly weakened, Wei Wen felt secretly relieved that he wouldn't suffer any inexplicable consequences.
After calming down, Wei Wen began to examine the system's feedback and his own situation carefully.
First of all, like Luo Feng, Wei Wen had also initially awakened as a spiritual master.
Moreover, due to the system's feedback, the spiritual power hidden in Wei Wen's sea of consciousness was even stronger than Luo Feng's!
While Luo Feng's rapid growth as a spiritual master might only last until he reached the peak of a God of War, Wei Wen could directly attain the planet level.
In addition, Luo Feng's initial awakening as a spiritual master increased his punching power by about 300 kilograms, while Wei Wen felt an even greater improvement in his strength upon awakening.
This difference might stem from the mental power he received as feedback, which was at the planetary level, along with the additional mental power hidden in his sea of consciousness.
If we look at Wei Wen's previous strength, he might have only been at the intermediate level, but now his punching power had directly reached about 1,200 kilograms.
The requirement for punching strength for the quasi-martial artist examination was only 900 kilograms.
Of course, the assessment for prospective warriors involved not only testing punching strength but also speed and reaction time.
The exam concluded soon, and as Wei Wen left the exam room, he heard the news that a candidate had lost consciousness during the exam.
There was no need to think; it had to be Luo Feng. After all, the system had just given him feedback!
Hospital
After Luo Feng regained consciousness, his parents and younger brother quickly gathered around him, their faces etched with worry. They were concerned about his condition, having heard he had been hit too hard, and they began to comfort him.
"Xiao Feng, I don't blame you for the college entrance examination; I blame that headache!" his father exclaimed.
"Well, this illness didn't strike sooner or later. It hadn't flared up for several years but suddenly decided to show up during the college entrance examination," his younger brother added, trying to lighten the mood.
Luo Feng, despite feeling a bit down, managed to squeeze out a smile as he accompanied his family out of the hospital lobby. He didn't want to burden them with his own frustrations.
Although Wei Wen felt there was no need to worry about Luo Feng, he still depended on him as a part-time worker to awaken his spiritual master. So, he decided to visit Luo Feng in the hospital to express his condolences.
"Wei Wen, thank you for coming. I failed the exam this time. How did yours go?" Luo Feng asked, genuinely moved by his friend's visit.
"Even if you fainted in the exam room, my grades are probably not better than yours, so don't worry about it," Wei Wen replied, a hint of scolding in his tone. "Besides, even if you don't get good grades, there's always the option of becoming a warrior!"
Luo Feng had a strong ability to adapt. Although failing to pass the undergraduate level in the college entrance examination was a significant blow, he recognized that being in a 'coma' wasn't entirely a negative experience. It had greatly improved his physical fitness.
"Compared to the college entrance exam results, my own strength is what matters more," he thought, a slight smile forming on his lips as his confidence returned.
"It doesn't matter if I can't go to the military academy; it's not a big deal," Luo Feng said with renewed assurance. "This coma has turned into a blessing in disguise for me. It has significantly enhanced my strength, and I am absolutely confident I will pass the quasi-martial artist assessment and actual combat assessment to become a true warrior!"
Luo Feng's parents and younger brother were taken aback by the confidence in his voice. What did becoming a warrior represent? Warriors embodied the most transcendent group within the human community, signifying strength, power, wealth, and status.
If Luo Feng became a warrior, he would bring numerous benefits to the family and change their destiny for the better.
Seeing Luo Feng regain his confidence, Wei Wen felt even more hopeful about his friend's future. After all, this was the essence of the 'lying flat system's' golden finger. If anything were to happen to Luo Feng, he could only forcefully renew his life.
So much so that Wei Wen urged Luo Feng to work harder for him, making his own lying-flat posture more comfortable and fulfilling. If possible, he wanted to continually motivate Luo Feng to strive for success, ensuring that they both had a brighter future.
Extreme Martial Arts Gym
"If you want to keep urging Luo Feng, you'd better become a warrior like him," Wei Wen thought as he looked up at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym in Yi'an District. He swiped his card and strode inside.
"To become a warrior, I first need to pass the quasi-martialist assessment, and for that, I need to at least qualify as a senior student." Since he had just finished the college entrance examination today, he figured he could take the time to obtain his senior student certification.
With his current strength after awakening as a spiritual master, passing the senior student assessment should be a piece of cake.
As soon as Wei Wen, still wearing his intermediate student badge, entered the large training hall for senior students, he immediately caught the attention of the instructors and several senior students.
"You're only an intermediate student. You shouldn't be in the advanced student teaching building unless you have a good reason. Are you here to assess for senior status?" an instructor asked as Wei Wen approached.
"Yes!" Wei Wen replied, nodding confidently.
"Then come with me." The instructor nodded and led Wei Wen to the boxing strength testing machine in the corner.
"There's only one assessment for senior students: your boxing strength must meet the required standards. Are you ready?" the instructor asked.
"Ready!" Wei Wen took a deep breath, fully relaxing his body.
With that, he drew back his right fist, channeling all his strength into it. Like a cannonball, he launched it forward, striking the target of the boxing strength testing machine with precision.
