Wang Teng had done his homework.

Energy stones were formed by congregating the Force within the heaven and earth into the minerals. These minerals were buried deep beneath the earth due to the special terrains. After a long period of development, these minerals slowly turned into stones with Force crystals.

They were mostly found in the Xingwu Continent.

The earth was only invaded by Force 30 years ago. It hadn't been long enough to form energy stones.

As for spiritual dan, they were formed by alchemists who fused all kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines using special methods. These spiritual dans had many different uses.

Only martial warriors were able to use these two resources, though. Of course, they also played a vital role for advanced stage martial disciples seeking to breakthrough into martial warriors.

To some people, if they weren't able to absorb enough Force during the process of breaking through to become a martial warrior, all their previous efforts would be wasted.

At moments like this, possessing multiple energy stones that contained Force or a piece of spiritual dan was the best guarantee.

However, energy stones and spiritual dan were important resources that were only given to the various powerful factions in large quantities.

For instance, schools, the military, or top-class martial arts academies. Only martial warriors who belonged to these factions would get to enjoy these resources.

As for other smaller factions, the resources they enjoyed were pretty limited. Even in the market, only large brands officially recognized by the government were able to sell these items.

After all, if these resources landed in the hands of some conspirators and they groomed a bunch of evil martial warriors, it would be huge trouble.

These resources were available in the black market but in minimal quantities. One couldn't get it even if they had the money.

It was undoubtedly extravagant for the principal of Donghai No. 1 High School to give these two items as rewards to his students.

As for the mystery reward he mentioned, Wang Teng didn't know what to say.

Was this how these people played?

The last time, Zhou Baiyun had acted in a similar manner. Now, even his principal was playing the same game. This was so boring. How old were they?

"Principal, I think that the reward system is really good. It's able to stimulate the examinees to do better. I believe that for the university entrance exam this year, our school will definitely achieve good results. You can just prepare the rewards with a calm heart," Wang Teng said righteously.

He didn't mention a word about himself in his reply.

But, the principal's eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Wang Teng and gave a meaningful smile. There was an unspoken mutual understanding.

"I can feel at ease now that you've given your word.

"Alright, I will not disturb your rest anymore. Examinees like you who have completed your inspection can rest in the afternoon. You will head to the next exam venue at night."

The principal finished speaking and placed his hand behind his back. Then, he left with the other leaders of the school.

"Why haven't I heard that there are rewards for the martial arts exam before?" Wang Teng asked Lin Chuhan, who was beside him.

"There have always been rewards, but you just didn't take notice of it. You should be ashamed. In the past, you either skipped classes or didn't pay attention in class. It will be strange if you know about it." Lin Chuhan rolled her eyes.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault." Wang Teng laughed awkwardly.

"What do you plan to do in the afternoon?" Yang Jian interrupted them at this moment.

"The cafeteria will be having a live broadcast of the level inspection in the afternoon. I'll pass my time there," Lin Chuhan suggested.

"This is a good idea. We do have to take note of the level inspection in the afternoon. Who knows? A few black horses might emerge among the remaining examinees." Yang Jian nodded. He looked at Wang Teng and asked, "Young Master Wang, what about you? What plans do you have?"

"I will find a place to sleep." Wang Teng yawned.

"Fine, you're the boss. You can do whatever you want." Yang Jian gave in.

In the end, Wang Teng didn't go anywhere. They were still in the middle of their exam, so even though he had completed his assessment, he couldn't leave.

He could only stay in the cafeteria obediently with the rest of the students.

One hour of resting time passed quickly.

Those that hadn't taken their level inspection entered the exam venue one after another. A new round of assessment officially kicked off.

The students from class eight were all gathered together. They were watching the live broadcast of the inspection. Occasionally, they would give some comments.

Lin Chuhan and Yang Jian found the live broadcast very engaging. They soon started discussions with the other classmates.

Wang Teng sat at the side and swiped his phone in the midst of his boredom.

Actually, most of the examinees were intermediate stage martial disciples. There were comparatively lesser advanced stage martial disciples.

Almost half an hour passed before advanced stage martial disciples started appearing.

"Look, it's Yan Peng from Huiying High School. Strength 924, speed 3.6 seconds, physique 93!" Yang Jian suddenly exclaimed.

He attracted everyone's attention with his shout. Instantly, everyone started discussing the guy.

"His results are on par with our school's Zhou Wu. His strength and speed are even better than Zhou Wu."

"Their physique is actually the same!"

"If they have a duel, Zhou Wu will be at a disadvantage."

"That's hard to say. Although Zhou Wu's strength and speed are weaker, you mustn't forget that a person's ability consists of their basic battle techniques too."

"That's right. If Zhou Wu has a better grasp of his basic battle techniques than Yan Peng, it will be tough to say who will win…"

Everyone couldn't help but compare the ability of these two youngsters.

When the students from Huiying High School heard the discussions of the students from Donghai No. 1 High School, they revealed a proud expression on their faces.

Look, our Huiying has powerful advanced stage martial disciples too. We are as strong as you. Why are you being so arrogant?

However, when they saw Wang Teng scrolling through his phone in boredom at the side, they immediately felt depressed. Even when an advanced stage martial disciple like Yan Peng appeared, he didn't show any hint of concern.

The distance between Yan Peng and Wang Teng was still a little wide!

With this big boss leading the Donghai No. 1 High School, it would be difficult for Huiying High School to surpass them this year.

Infuriating!

How did this monster appear in Donghai No. 1 High School?

The students from Huiying High School were unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

Their hands were tied, unless a hidden black horse appeared in their school. And this horse had to be as black as Wang Teng.

…

The level inspection finally came to a close. There were many advanced stage martial disciples toward the end, but none of their abilities exceeded that of Zhou Wu and Yan Peng.

Most of these students' strengths didn't exceed 900. Their speed was between five to four seconds, and their physique was eighty plus. Only one or two went past the 90-mark. There was still a difference between them and Zhou Wu and Yan Peng.

5 pm.

The level inspection was all completed.

All the examinees were split into two large groups. One group were the failures, who would be sent home immediately. The other group consisted of the people who would be heading to the next exam venue right away.

Liu Wenshi stood in front of all the examinees in the plaza of Jixin Martial House. His voice spread throughout the square.

"It's a pity that some of you didn't manage to pass. However, all of you are still young. You will have another chance next year. As long as the martial arts exam is your ambition and you never give up, I believe that you will pass the martial arts exam and enter a university one day.

"Our country is placing more and more importance on martial arts. I'm sure all of you can see this. Thus, don't give up easily. There are still opportunities for you. I hope that I will see you again next year."

The unsuccessful students were feeling dejected, and some were even having second thoughts. However, when they heard his words, their thoughts became firm again. If they couldn't pass this year, they could retake the exam next year or the year after.

Martial arts was already the trend of this era. If they couldn't become martial warriors, they would be lagging. No one wanted to be in the lowest class of society.
