Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 285 - 2 Test
"Guiding a student?"
Chen Chuan mused.
Ni Qianxi looked around and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Get in the car, and I'll take you back to school first."
They walked out, got into the car, and sat down. Ni Qianxi started the car and then said, "You should know about those external students. They're the students the Academy brings in to compete in the Arena tournament.
Guiding a student, simply put, means providing guidance and sparring for these external students. The Academy will give a certain amount of Evaluation points for it.
This isn't a good thing.
Because once you accept this arrangement, it's hard to get out of it, and you're also defaulted into being a member of the Arena tournament, indirectly pushing you in.
For example, if the external students are temporarily short on people due to injury or death, commercial operations can't just stop. After all, there are so many interests and groups supporting them. So, if they temporarily need someone to fill in, who is the most suitable?
That's right, it's the guiding student. It's very logical, isn't it?"
After saying this with sarcasm, she looked at Chen Chuan with a serious expression.
"Little Chen, I remember your Evaluation is thirty-five percent. You're among them. If you go there and they ask you to fill in temporarily, it's not impossible. But once you step onto the stage, don't even think about getting out. At that point, you'll be tied to it. And don't think about being passive unless you don't want Evaluation points.
Low Evaluation points mean there's a risk of being expelled or directly converted into an external student. The latter is more likely. You won't be able to quit. Some people in the Academy will use school rules and legal procedures against you.
This is just what I can think of. There are definitely more unknown methods, so you absolutely can't go!"
Chen Chuan looked out the car window. At some point, rain had started to fall. The rain and the light outside the car merged together, blurring the tall Buildings and also blurring his own reflection on the car window.
He thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ni, if Wuyi's formal students are arranged to participate in the commercial Arena tournament, won't the Processing Bureau and the higher-ups intervene?"
Ni Qianxi sighed. "The Processing Bureau pays attention to students who are invested with resources, but they can't interfere with the school's specific management. Moreover, Pang Yihang… your Vice-Principal, Assistant Ling's main person in charge, supposedly came with an important mission when he took office.
In the three years since he took office, he has indeed brought certain benefits to Jibei Province Wuyi Academy. In recent years, Wuyi Academy not only doesn't need funding from above, but it can also generate its own profits and provide financial support to the Processing Bureau. So, many of his actions are tacitly approved by the higher-ups. Even if he does something out of line, he has ways to suppress it.
Don't even mention you. Even students with Power backgrounds are not difficult for him to target.
Actually, there have been rumors about using formal students to compete in the Arena tournament before, but there hasn't been any movement. Now that it's being brought up, it's likely that they're preparing to officially push it forward."
At this moment, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of the words Instructor Wu had said to him. It seemed that the latter wasn't completely deceiving him and that there was some truth to it.
Ni Qianxi looked at the road ahead illuminated by the car lights and said, "Now there's only one way. You need to find a way to improve your Evaluation to enter the Third Limit. This can avoid a lot of trouble later."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. He had three evaluation opportunities this semester. He had only used one before, but at that time, he had just entered the Academy and didn't know the specific situation, so he just tested at his lowest state.
Of course, things were definitely different now. Although it had only been a little over a month, his Strength had greatly improved. Even if he suppressed his state, it wouldn't be comparable to the past.
He said, "After I get back, I'll do the test."
"Are you confident?"
Ni Qianxi suddenly chuckled and said, "Hey, I asked too much. Looking at your performance just now, how could you not be confident? But…" She looked at Chen Chuan and said seriously, "You need to try to improve your score as much as possible. If it's too low, they might still make a fuss."
Chen Chuan felt that a high score might not necessarily be a good thing. Using a low state should be enough to cope with it. Even if this evaluation wasn't enough, he still had one more chance.
He said, "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Ni. I understand."
The rain gradually increased. Under the dim sky, the red sports car traveled along the straight street, passing through the tall Buildings on both sides, and returned to the Mysterious Palace Tower.
After Chen Chuan parted ways with Ni Qianxi, he returned to his dormitory. He first went to the washroom to wash up, and then he took out a box of Precious Paste, consumed it, and absorbed it.
Since he had decided, there was no need to hesitate. Anyway, he had to move around after taking it, so he might as well take the opportunity of the evaluation to move around.
As for preheating the Snow Emperor Blade, it wasn't necessary against Hong Fu. With his ability, he couldn't harm Hong Fu, so sharpness didn't make a difference.
After everything was ready, he came to the training room and stood still. He drew the Snow Emperor Blade from its sheath and said, "Hong Fu, I want to do the second evaluation."
A red shadow flickered, and Hong Fu appeared in the room. She glanced at the Snow Emperor Blade in his hand, reached out, and took out a Wild Goose Feather Blade with a red tassel.
Chen Chuan suddenly felt something and looked up. He found himself standing in front of an ancient temple. Bells were swaying under the eaves, the stone shrine was mottled, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and ancient trees surrounded the area. Rays of light passed through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the open space in front. There were bursts of birdsong from the secluded forest, and he could faintly smell the fragrance of sandalwood.
Hong Fu didn't speak, but the pair of lively eyes above her veil were looking at him.
Chen Chuan took a breath, slowly lowered the Snow Emperor Blade, held it with both hands, placed it on his side, and stared at Hong Fu. After a moment, his body moved, he stepped forward, and raised his Blade to slash forward.
Hong Fu turned around. As the red shadow fluttered, she blocked the Blade with her Blade, her posture elegant and light.
Chen Chuan had been studying with Teacher Zheng these days. Although he hadn't entered a real battle yet, he had almost mastered the control of Internal energy.
He now knew that the evaluation required him to express his Skills and abilities as much as possible. There was no need to worry about winning or losing here.
Moreover, Hong Fu already knew everything he could do in a low state, so he didn't hide anything. He immediately released his Mutated Tissue, letting all kinds of emotions flood his mind. All the Mutated Tissue in his body worked together to exert force, trying to make every Blade strike his maximum Limit.
Hong Fu raised her Blade to block. No matter where the Blade flash came from, she could easily block it. Not only were her moves exquisite, but her movements were also extremely beautiful.
However, her Strength expression was no different from a real person. Everything she did at this moment seemed to be what a Martial Artist could do. In the collision of the two Blades, the reality and solidity of the Strength made it impossible to think that she was just an Active Consciousness Entity.
Chen Chuan didn't care about these things. He abandoned all distractions and devoted himself to this battle. He completely forgot about winning or losing and just slashed out one Blade after another, each Blade seeming to try to surpass his previous one.
The Medicinal effects of the Precious Paste were constantly being exerted at this moment, supporting him to exert himself in this state without any scruples.
Hong Fu's Strength and Speed always maintained a level equal to his. As the two Blades continued to collide, the two of them seemed to gradually move out of the forest and onto a large rock. With a bang, a huge waterfall hanging in the air appeared not far away, and thunderous sounds were transmitted.
The splashing water droplets seemed to fall on the faces and hair of both sides and fell on the Blades that were clashing, shattering into glittering points, refracting rounds of colorful rainbows there.
Chen Chuan was not disturbed by these external things. He seemed to have returned to the Training Hall that day, only wanting to use everything at this moment to force open the opponent in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt unable to move forward. His Blade stopped, and Hong Fu maintained the posture of blocking the Blade. Her red clothes danced in the wind, and her pair of lively eyes stared at him.
With a clang, a bell rang leisurely in the ancient temple. A flock of birds flew up from the forest and went to the distant sky.
The surrounding scenery slowly faded away. The two of them were still standing in the training room. The light of the morning sun was shining in from the window and falling on their bodies.
Unknowingly, a night had passed.
Hong Fu sheathed her Blade and retreated, and a voice rang in his ears: "Student Chen Chuan, second evaluation, results are as follows:
Strength Performance: Above Average
Speed Performance: Above Average
Skills Performance: Above Average
Combat Reaction: Above Average
Combat strategy: Excellent
Comprehensive Evaluation Score: 84 points.
Potential Assessment: Omitted.
Third Limit Success Rate Assessment: 81%"
Chen Chuan skipped the previous items and focused directly on the last one, "Eighty-one percent…" This data had already crossed the evaluation line.
This was just the result he had achieved with a low state. He didn't know what his real Strength would be, but there should be no obstacles to crossing the Third Limit. And this result was enough to give to the Academy.
He clasped his fist at Hong Fu, "Thank you."
Hong Fu raised her Blade in return. In the rotation of her red clothes, she had already left gracefully.
In the Principal's Assistant's office on the top floor, Assistant Ling received a new test assessment not long after.
"Eighty-one percent…"
He said to himself, "It's only been a little over a month since he entered the Academy, and he's improved so much. Or… is this your true Strength? Hmm…"
He contacted someone using the Boundary Token, "Yes, I got it. I just released the news, and he came over to do the evaluation. The result? Eighty-one percent."
The person on the other side of the Boundary Token pondered for a while, "If it's this value, the possibility of entering the Third Limit is very high. His identity is also very suitable. Are you planning to invite him?"
Assistant Ling said, "I think we need to take another look. If Wu Ruo's death is really related to him, then perhaps this is not his true Strength. We still need to test him further."
The other person said, "What are you planning to do?"
Assistant Ling said, "It's very simple." He turned around and looked down at the countless tall Buildings, "I will find a way to leak his evaluation to Zhao Qian. Seeing Chen student's test assessment, he will worry about this matter for us."
"Zhao Qian? I understand what you mean, but if you plan to invite him, he will definitely know about this in the future."
Assistant Ling said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. After understanding The Real World, he will understand us."
