1 001 Proficiency Panel _1

Yunjian Sect.

Outer Sect's Trial Peak, God Refining Platform.

Su Yu woke up pale and sweaty, even before he could gather his wits, a voice echoed in his ears: "Su Yu, the third level spirit test, placed tenth."

On a high platform, several Yunjian Sect administrators shook their heads while looking at Su Yu's information.

"His performance in this level is not bad, it's above average."

"However, his spiritual root is just inferior and his understanding is similarly low, plus he is already on the threshold of sixteen years old."

"Eliminate him."

"Eliminate, seconded."

This year's Yunjian Sect entrance examination had more than three hundred people, but there were only thirty places available.

Even if Su Yu's score in the third test was not bad, his inferior spiritual root and clumsy understanding were hard weaknesses. The score of the third level was not enough to let Yunjian Sect make an exception for him.

As teenagers on the God Refining Platform awakened one by one, the results of the third level spirit test were announced.

This level tested the foundation of one's spiritual altar and the strength of one's will.

So, it is called the Spirit Test.

"Yu Ge, with such a good score in the third test, you should have a chance to get into Yunjian Sect." Su Qingyi, a clan brother from the same family, spoke with a touch of envy and unwillingness.

His scores in the first two levels were decent, his spiritual root was of medium quality, and his understanding was average, but his placing in the third level spirit test had plummeted to over sixty.

With such a score, it was essentially impossible to get into Yunjian Sect.

Su Yu didn't respond, this clan brother was rather arrogant. His words not genuinely reflecting his belief that he has a chance to get into Yunjian Sect, but simply making a fuss about his scores.

If he had been in the top three on the third level, perhaps Yunjian Sect would have made an exception for him to join.

But tenth...

With his inferior spiritual root and low level of understanding, it was virtually impossible.

A woman next to them frowned slightly and said in a soft reproaching tone: "Qingyi, stop talking."

"Big sister, I really think that Yu Ge can make it, after all, his score in the third level is better than yours." Su Qingyi lowered his voice and glanced at Su Yu.

The woman remained silent.

The three of them were from the same family. The woman, Su Zhi, was the eldest daughter of the Su Family, a cultivator family in River City. She was also the one with the best talent among the three.

Her spiritual root was above average, her understanding was above average, and her spirit test score was twenty-first, which was also considered above average.

It shouldn't be a problem for her to get into Yunjian Sect.

As expected.

On the nearby high platform, a steward, exuding an aura of authority, shouted, "Quiet down, we are about to announce the names of those who are selected for discipleship in Yunjian Sect."

"Gongsun Yi, Chen Bailai, He Xiu... Su Zhi, Lin Danlang..."

"Those who hear their names stay, the others leave Yunjian Sect."

Su Qingyi didn't hear his name. With a look of unwillingness on his face, he followed the crowd and left the outer sect of Yunjian Sect, looking so disheartened that he didn't even notice that Su Yu beside him looked somewhat dazed, unlike someone who had just been eliminated.

Several elders of the Su Family were waiting outside, including Su Peng, the family head of the Su Family and Su Zhi's father.

When they found out that Su Zhi had successfully become a disciple of Yunjian Sect, Su Peng and the other Su Family elders were all very happy.

Beside the gate of Yunjian Sect, Su Peng, a robust middle-aged man in blue robes, exclaimed in excitement: "Good, good. Little Zhi has entered Yunjian Sect. We now have hope for our Su family."

After the excitement had subsided, Su Peng looked at the dazed Su Yu and the dejected Su Qingyi, and comforted: "You two don't need to be disheartened. Although it is a great pity to not get into Yunjian Sect, if you stay in the family and focus on your cultivation, your future achievements may not necessarily be inferior."

"Do know this, True Man Bai Yue of our great Moon Mansion in Bai Yue Immortal City was once rejected from the great Moon Palace because of his inferior spiritual root when he was young, and was left to be just a loose cultivator."

"But now, the Bai Yue Immortal City that True Man Bai Yue created has become one of the top Immortal Cities in the great Moon Mansion."

"You two stay in the family and cultivate diligently, your starting point can even be said to be higher than True Man Bai Yue's."

After hearing the story of True Man Bai Yue, Su Qingyi appeared visibly motivated. In the face of Family Head's passionate pep talk, his eyes shone with a renewed light.

True Man Bai Yue was just an inferior spiritual root, but he managed to build Bai Yue Immortal City.

He, Su Qingyi, was a medium quality spiritual root. Surely, his future wouldn't be any less than that of True Man Bai Yue's.

Su Yu didn't feel much, but looking at everything in front of him, he still felt a bit dreamy. How did he fall asleep after an all-night gaming session and wake up to a whole different world?

The name True Man Bai Yue sounded familiar, like an early stage demonic boss in the game he was playing?

In a daze and a stupor, Su Yu followed Su Peng and several other family elders back to River City.

On the way.

They also encountered people from Lin Family, another cultivating family from River City.

Lin Family also had a member enter Yunjian Sect this time, though he was basically last, nowhere near the Su Family's young miss, Su Zhi.

So, the Lin Family members didn't look too pleased upon seeing the Su Family members.

"Hmmpf, let's go!" The Lin Family's First Elder leading the team, Lin Kui, snorted coldly, urging his Spirit Horse to move faster, not wishing to see the people from the Su Family.

River City was a small town near Yunjian Sect, with a population of just over 100,000, half of which was controlled by the Su Family and the other half by the Lin Family, both small cultivating families.

Three days later.

Su Yu returned to the Su Family. Originally he was a collateral disciple of the Su Family and could only live in a small house on the outskirts of the Su Family. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by the family, the typical starting point for an orphan protagonist.

However, upon his return, the family had cleaned a yard for him within the main mansion and assigned a young and beautiful maid to serve him. He possessed a Spiritual Root and could embark on the path of cultivation, so he was a cultivator.

Every cultivator was a key figure in their cultivating family, key to the family's prosperity.

Therefore, Su Yu naturally wouldn't receive poor treatment within the Su Family.

After retrieving this month's supplies from the First Elder, one lower-grade Spirit Stone and thirty pounds of lower-grade Spirit Rice, Su Yu returned to his own courtyard.

"Lower-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root." Su Yu sat cross-legged in contemplation, for his physical constitution was balanced across the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Such a balanced constitution was not common, but having a lower-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root was not particularly helpful.

The Cultivation Technique previously practiced by his predecessor was the Suzhou's Green Poplar Jue, a wood attribute technique, which could be perfected to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage.

He was just a beginner and his cultivation level was at the first level of Qi Refinement stage.

To be honest, this technique was not bad.

It wasn't easy for an average loose cultivator to get a technique that could be practiced to the third or sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage.

The problem wasn't which technique he should choose to practice, for he didn't have any other techniques to choose from.

But when he focused his mind, the lines of words that appeared before his eyes made him uncertain.

[Name: Su Yu.]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement First Level.]

[Lifespan: 16/98.]

[Technique: Green Poplar Jue (Level 1, Proficiency 1.6%).]

[Spell: Tendril Technique (Proficiency 3.4%), Spirit Nurturing Technique (Proficiency 6.5%).]

It was a very basic panel.

However, looking at this panel made Su Yu feel a bit unreal, and he looked confused: "Did I actually travel to another world, or did I enter a game?"

After thinking for a bit, Su Yu called to the maid who was covertly checking him out while cleaning in the courtyard: "Lindong, come here for a bit."

Bei Lindong's pretty face immediately turned slightly red, and she quickly trotted over, lowering her head and saying, "Young Master Yu...ah, it hurts."

The next moment, Bei Lindong screamed out in pain, covering her face with both hands. Teary-eyed, she looked wronged as she stared at Su Yu, unsure why he pinched her cheeks, and with both hands at that.

With an unchanged expression, Su Yu withdrew the hands that had pinched the maid's cheeks, and said, "If you want to look, you can look directly. Don't need to sneak peeks."

Bei Lindong's face instantly turned beet red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Yu. Feeling exposed and shy, she didn't notice Su Yu's thoughtful expression.

Pain?

Do NPCs have a sense of pain? He tested it and they do. Su Yu thought to himself, "True Man Bai Yue is indeed a minor boss in the game, but what the hell is the Yunjian Sect? That game did not have the Yunjian Sect, and the place where True Man Bai Yue resided was not called Dayue Town."

So, is this a coincidence?

It's not the game world?
