"Teacher Lingming has always thought highly of Jiang He. Why doesn't Jiang He transfer to our Law Cultivation Academy?"

What I hate most is sword cultivators who get all sweaty and smelly from practicing swordsmanship.

"I don't know. I only know that Teacher Lingming used to treat Jiang He very well, but recently it seems to have become just so-so. By the way, have you seen that very popular post in our academy about Jiang He passing the seventh level of the Trial Tower? Is it true or false?"

"After reading it, I still don't understand why Jiang He, who knows alchemy, came to our Wanjue Academy. She might as well go to Lingqing Academy, where the alchemy program is much better than ours."

"Jiang He has been too arrogant lately. She's taking multiple professional courses and clearing the seventh level in one day. I just don't understand why she's so capable and still comes to our Law and Cultivation Academy. She doesn't even need the credits."

A few students from the Faxiu College gathered together, their tone tinged with bitterness.

Yu Xiang was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang He:

“Jiang He is not from our Law Cultivation Academy, yet she has taken up a spot in the academy for nothing. I just don’t understand. There are already so few learning resources available. What is she doing here in our Law Cultivation Academy, given that she is a sword cultivator?”

"That's right."

Those around Yu Xiang nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiang consistently ranked at the top of his class from elementary to high school. He had a solid foundation in magic and decisively chose law as his major when applying for college.

At the beginning of the Legal Education Academy, everyone knew that he and Liu Neng were among the freshmen with good legal talents.

Before high school, he could enjoy envious glances from others wherever he went at school.

But after she went to university, all the admiring attention disappeared because of Jiang He.

Yu Xiang thought angrily.

If it weren't for Jiang He, he would have been the one with the best foundation in magic, not to mention that Jiang He is now superior to him in every way.

This made Yu Xiang very unhappy.

Yu Xiang grumbled, and seeing that others agreed with him, he became even more unscrupulous in verbally ostracizing Jiang He with others.

The final exams were scheduled for a tight schedule, with many colleges arranging them on the same day.

The assessment site for the Plantation Academy is right next to the Law Academy.

Lanmu carefully protected the radish in her arms.

Sure enough, when the radish was planted according to Jiang He's method, its sprouts grew bigger and bigger in less than a week, and almost all the radish seedlings that had not sprouted before had sprouted.

She had been happy for over a month. The thought of getting a high score in the planting assessment made her determined to thank Jiang He properly.

If Jiang He hadn't selflessly shared her planting experience with her, she might still be stuck with unsprouted radishes.

Lan Mu was carrying a bowl of radishes when she passed by the Faxiu Academy and overheard Yu Xiang's words.

Yu Xiang's voice was very loud:

"Although Liu Neng's character is flawed, at least he said one thing that was right. For example, his suggestion to kick Jiang He out of our Law and Cultivation Academy was absolutely correct..."

"What do you mean by 'right'? How come all the students in your Law Cultivation Academy have such narrow-minded views? You made a bet before that you would kick Jiang He out of the Law Cultivation Academy, and now you're doing this again?"

Lan Mu couldn't resist and carried the radish towards Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang glanced at Lan Mu and then looked away.

Yu Xiang didn't care about Lan Mu's words. He could tell this person was from the Planting Academy. Those guys from the Planting Academy only knew how to farm, had low combat skills, and were just as dirty as the sword cultivators. Yu Xiang covered his nose in disgust and fanned his nose with his hand.

"Can you get lost, you filthy farmer? You're covered in mud and you're horribly dirty. And what did I say about Jiang He?"

"Go ahead and report it if you have a problem. You farmers always play these kinds of tricks, don't you? Jiang He is the same. The other day, Wang Xian just touched Jiang He, and Jiang He immediately reported her, causing Wang Xian to get punished. If you want, go report her too and see if you can get me punished."

"Haha, Brother Yu, the way you're saying that makes it sound like we've done something to her."

Lan Mu carefully sniffed herself; there was absolutely no odor, and her clothes were spotless. She glared angrily at Yu Xiang:

"Don't go too far!"

She could tell that these people had terrible personalities.

Lan Mu glanced at Yu Xiang, and Yu Xiang glanced back at Lan Mu. Then, as Lan Mu moved, Yu Xiang secretly moved a stone directly in front of Lan Mu.

Lan Mu didn't want to have much interaction with Yu Xiang. As she was walking, her shoe suddenly hit an obstacle.

Suddenly, a stone appeared out of nowhere, causing her to fall heavily to the ground, and the radish in her hand flew out of her hand.

Lan Mu broke out in a cold sweat. This pot of radishes was the spiritual plant she needed for today's assessment, so she brought only one pot with her. With the assessment approaching, it would be too late to return.

With Lanmu's fall, she could already imagine the radish rotting on the ground.

In that instant, Lanmu's brain went blank, and he could only watch as the radish plummeted rapidly in a parabolic trajectory.

"Haha, you even trip while walking! You farmers can't even protect a potted spiritual plant, now..."

Before Yu Xiang could finish his mocking words, he witnessed the spiritual plant being lifted up by a force when it was only one meter above the ground.

It is the spirit of wind.

Yu Xiang's smile froze as he watched the wind spirit steadily supporting the spiritual plant.

The wind spirit energy provided a buffer, relieving most of the force on the spirit plant.

Lanmu watched the radish fly away, expecting to see the pot and radish shattered into pieces.

Unexpectedly, she not only watched the pot of radishes land steadily but also found herself completely unharmed.

Lan Mu's vision suddenly darkened as a plain white robe came into view.

Jiang He held the basin in one hand and reached for the orchid with the other:

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Jiang He's fingers are long and slender.

When Lan Mu grasped Jiang He's fingers, a slight chill came over her, but she didn't feel cold; instead, a warmth welled up inside her.

Lanmu looked at the radish that had returned to her arms, and her nose tingled with emotion.

"No, no, thank you, Jiang He."

"The Planting Academy's assessment is about to begin. Here are some pills for you; they can treat external injuries."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Jiang He gave a box of pills to Lan Mu before turning back to look at Yu Xiang:

"Looks like you're going to be going up against a stinking country bumpkin like me."

"Jiang He, I did everything just now, and she blames me for just walking carelessly?"

Yu Xiang was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, and he knew about Jiang He's past deeds.

In fact, what he feared most was someone like Jiang He, because Yu Xiang knew that if anyone offended Jiang He, she would retaliate openly or secretly.

He suddenly began to regret it.

After Jiang He finished speaking, she didn't give Yu Xiang any more glances.

When Lingming arrived, she sensed that something was off, and this feeling intensified when she looked at Jiang He.

Lingming's feelings for Jiang He are somewhat complicated.

She discovered Jiang He's talent in this area when the course on Dharma practice had just begun.

She had never thought much of those with useless spiritual roots before.

For those with useless spiritual roots or chaotic spiritual roots, the spiritual veins are numerous and mixed, and absorbing too much spiritual energy can actually hinder cultivation.

But Jiang He took her thoughts in a completely different direction.

Sometimes, cultivators with multiple spiritual roots may have a higher potential for learning spells than those with a single spiritual root.

For example, one can switch spiritual roots at will.

After casting a spell of one element, instantly switch to another element.

In this way, the casting speed is not much different from carrying a staff.

Lingming immediately began experiments on the topic of multi-spiritual-root cultivation, but it seems that multi-spiritual-root cultivators cannot achieve instantaneous spellcasting like Jiang He.

The experiment was progressing slowly, while Lingming became increasingly interested in Jiang He.

After all, Lingming had always wanted to take Jiang He as her disciple; a cultivator with such talent should shine in their field of magic cultivation.

Lingming had been secretly planning to bring up Jiang He's change of major with the principal, but before she could even prepare herself, she learned that Beimingzi had taken Jiang He under his wing.

Lingming was overwhelmed with thoughts. She had thought the duck was cooked, but it had flown away.

This resulted in Lingming having a complicated look in her eyes every time she looked at Jiang He.

Lingming was heartbroken to learn that such an outstanding student wasn't on her side!

The spellcasting assessment for magic cultivators mainly focuses on practical combat, and can be conducted in one-on-one or one-to-many modes.

If the goal is simply to pass this course, the best option is one-on-one tutoring.

The cultivators participating in the assessment draw their opponents, and the two engage in a one-on-one magical duel. The one who wins the match passes the assessment.

If you want a high score, you can choose one-to-many.

Participating cultivators can choose their opponents; there is no limit to the number of opponents. They can choose to engage in a spell duel with two cultivators who are taking the exam today, or they can choose three or more opponents.

As for losing to a student who is a monk participating in the assessment, ten points will be deducted directly.

With such a setup, cheating is very difficult to occur. If an opponent is given an advantage and passes the test, the student is very likely to fail.

"To avoid failing, I'll definitely choose one-on-one tutoring. Yu Xiang, what do you choose?"

"do not know."

Yu Xiang did not want to choose one-on-one tutoring, because getting a high score in the professional course assessment would mean he would get more academic points.

Yu Xiang wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He looked at Jiang He, knowing she would make the same choice, but he didn't know how many pairs she would select.

Yu Xiang kept glancing at Jiang He out of the corner of his eye. As long as Jiang He dared to choose one against many, he would immediately sign up to join the side with more people.

He can't beat Jiang He in a one-on-one fight, but he's not so bad as to lose when there are multiple people attacking him!

Not many people chose the one-to-many assessment mode, and Lingming immediately called Jiang He forward when she saw his name:

"Jiang He, you will start this assessment. You can choose the candidates or let others choose."

Lingming gave Jiang He two choices.

Yu Xiang was worried that Jiang He might not be able to choose him, so he looked at Jiang He nervously.

Jiang He smiled slightly; she was determined to get a high score in the legal studies course.

University credits are indeed useful, as for the selection process...

"I selected a maximum of 50 people, without specifying any particular candidates."

Jiang He opened her lips, her head slightly raised, and her words immediately stunned the students who were taking the assessment today.

"Did I hear that right? No one was designated! Doesn't that mean a reverse election?"

"That's right, Jiang He is really bold. Isn't she afraid we'll choose her?"

"That's amazing. There are only 50 people participating in the spell assessment in this venue. Jiang He said it was the limit of 50, but it actually includes all of us."

"Since she said that, I naturally chose to be one of the 'more' people. I don't believe anyone would not choose to be one of them."

“Yes, the limit is 50 people. If more than half of them choose to become the ‘more’ cultivator, then there will be 25 people. Jiang He is facing 25 people alone. Isn’t the outcome obvious?”

"Moreover, we can get 10 points if we win, although we will lose 10 if we lose. But the result is already obvious. Jiang He simply can't beat so many people. I even suspect that she wants to retake the course because she set the limit to 50 people."

"Haha, whatever, I'm signing up anyway. Teacher Lingming, count me in."

"Count me in too."

Jiang He set the limit for one-to-many battles to 50, and almost all the cultivators present chose to fight against Jiang He.

In the end, 45 people chose Jiang He, which means that Jiang He's magic test will be against all 45 people at the same time.

Yu Xiang had considered that Jiang He would choose one-to-many, but he never expected her to make this choice.

He had always thought that Jiang He could be his opponent, but now it seemed that Jiang He was not worthy at all!

How could anyone be so stupid as to choose to fight against 45 people all by themselves, especially in such an important situation as an assessment?

Yu Xiang's face was filled with undisguised joy.

The other 44 people were also very happy. Although some sympathized with Jiang He, at this moment, they all knew that they had their hands on this prize!

Lingming hadn't expected Jiang He to make this choice.

During Lingming's time as an instructor, the record holder for the assessment was a cultivator who scored 90 points. At that time, she chose to fight ten opponents at once and defeated them all.

Jiang He's choice did not violate the rules.

Jiang He's choice was so outrageous that Ling Ming couldn't help but want to give her some advice.

The assessment was no child's play, and Jiang He was too impulsive.

Lingming sighed:

“Jiang He, once a choice is made, there is no going back. Are you really going to face 45 cultivators?”

"I've made my choice, teacher. We can begin the assessment now."

Jiang He nodded.

Seeing Jiang He's determination, Ling Ming didn't know what to say.

Most of these students were taught by her, and those who could pass the Wan Jue exam had a fairly good foundation in magic techniques, except for a few who chose the wrong major and ended up in the magic cultivation field.

In short, the forty-five people Jiang He fought against had mastered many of the techniques after a semester of study.

Ling Ming glanced at Jiang He one last time and slowly spoke:

"The assessment begins."

Lingming didn't know how to break this deadlock. If it were her, she could easily escape from forty-five students, but Jiang He hadn't studied magic for long. Even if she had talent, how could she possibly face forty-five magic cultivators who also had some talent?

Upon hearing that the assessment was about to begin, Yu Xiang had already prepared his staff.

Jiang He and the forty-five people opposite him stood together on a circular arena. The magical duel was the purest contest between magical techniques.

You cannot use swords or any magical implements other than staffs.

The competition had barely begun when Yu Xiang started chanting incantations.

His magical foundation was solid; he not only remembered the incantations well but also recited them quickly. With the help of his staff, Yu Xiang's spells were often quite powerful among his fellow freshmen.

It could be said that Yu Xiang was the fastest among the forty-five people to finish reciting the incantation, but as soon as Yu Xiang finished, someone else was already faster than him.
