In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 92 Potential Index! (Please continue reading!!!)

Among the three redeemable items that were originally priced at 10000 points, "Tai Bai Tian Ji's After-Class Guidance" and "Hui Jian Xin Fa" have become unavailable and cannot be purchased with money.

It's practically a collector's item.

The right to use the Heavenly Spirit Root is still being sold, but the price is as high as 20,000 yuan per hour.

But no one had any objections, because the price was only so low because the manufacturer was giving Taibaiji the benefit of the doubt.

It's worth noting that renting a Heavenly Spirit Root from outsiders costs as much as 40,000 per hour!

And you usually have to queue, and sometimes you're even bundled with other products.

For example, only those who rent a common spiritual root for 1,000 hours can have priority in obtaining the right to rent a celestial spiritual root, and so on...

For example, cultivation resources with a point value in the four figures.

Resources such as Dragon Bone Pills for strengthening bones, Six-Flavor Nourishing Pills for healing injuries, Spiritual Pressure Pumps for refining spiritual energy, and Lightning Strike Talismans for increasing muscle activity can all be exchanged for money at prices much lower than the market price.

It's true that Taibai Baiji said before that spending one million a month to buy cultivation resources is necessary to keep up with the learning progress.

However, in the special class, one million can buy things worth two million or even three million on the market, which is quite a bargain.

"If you want to exchange for these cultivation resources, you can report to my sword spirit assistant in the class group at any time."

After sending a copy of the Federal Currency exchange list to the group, Tai Baiji said:

"Now, let's start the lesson."

Upon hearing this, the students in the advanced class, who were still debating which resources to exchange for, immediately sat up straight, their faces filled with anticipation.

Then Taibai Baiji said calmly:
"Before the course officially begins, all of you need to understand one concept."

"A concept that concerns whether you can get into one of the top ten universities."

"This concept is an implicit one used only by the top ten, so it doesn't have a specific name. I call it the potential index."

Potential index?

Upon hearing this premise, not only ordinary students at Taihua High School, but even prodigies from prominent families like Xiao Kong and Chen Nuoyi were taken aback.

With a casual wave of his hand, Tai Baiji displayed the names of the six subjects for the college entrance examination on the virtual screen.

"As we all know, general knowledge is a basic subject that you can easily get full marks on by studying it casually. Spiritual texts and Dao heart are subjects that you need to focus on after you go to university. They are not covered much in high school and are easy to get high marks on."

"Therefore, in the eyes of the top ten immortal academies, only the performance in the three major subjects of cultivation, physical education and martial arts can be the standard for judging whether a student is excellent or not."

"So here's the question: what's the difference between geniuses like Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying, who have reached the peak of Qi Refining and whose cultivation, physique, and martial arts are near perfect, and the students who make it into the top ten?"

"After all, judging from the data on paper, they are all at the peak of Qi Refining, so there seems to be no difference."

The virtual screen changed, and a five-dimensional panel appeared, displaying the total amount of spiritual energy, the strength of spiritual energy, the strength of the physical body, the potential of the physical body, and the potential of martial arts.

Tai Baiji introduced:
"The exams only test cultivation level, physical fitness, and martial arts skills, but the ten most important indicators are not these, but the five dimensions of data on the screen, which we can collectively call potential."

"These five dimensions are not based on the higher the realm, the higher the score; rather, they are based on the extreme data of the same realm."

“When you entered the Illusionary Realm earlier, I had already scanned your five-dimensional scores. Now let’s take Xiao Kong’s five-dimensional score as an example.”

As he spoke, a slightly irregular small pentagon appeared on the five-dimensional panel.

Xiao Kong: Total Spiritual Power: 1.18
Spiritual power intensity: 0.79
Physical strength: 0.93
Physical potential: 0.89
Martial arts potential: 0.87
Overall potential index: 0.67
Looking at the five dimensions, which all start with 0 except for the total spiritual power, and the extremely pitiful potential index of 0.67, the students in the advanced class couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Since they were all cultivators, they did a little mental calculation and figured out that the potential index was derived by multiplying the five dimensions together.

Tai Baiji looked at Xiao Kong:

"Do you know what this 0.67 five-dimensional fraction means?" Xiao Kong shook his head blankly.

"This means that in the eyes of the top ten admissions offices, your actual score is calculated by multiplying your college entrance examination score by this potential index of 0.67."

A commotion immediately erupted in the classroom.

Because Xiao Kong's recent monthly exam score was 732, multiplied by 0.67, the score was reduced to a pitiful 490.5.

They can't even reach the first-tier university admission line.

Xiao Kong's face had already turned slightly pale, but Tai Baiji uttered even more merciless words:
"As far as I know, the lowest potential index of the students who were admitted to the top ten universities in the last college entrance examination was 0.82. If that student had not scored as high as 745 points in the college entrance examination, he might have failed to get in."

"And the students who can truly be selected by the top ten institutions must have a potential index of over one!"

"Therefore, even if you get into the top ten in the city, you may not necessarily be able to enter the top ten, especially those pseudo-geniuses who rely solely on drugs."

After the explanation, the students in the advanced class couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

Xiao Kong is a genius with the Yin Fire Dharma Lineage, yet his potential index is only 0.67. The potential indexes of others are likely even lower.

But just as everyone was thinking this, Taibai Baiji suddenly changed the subject:
"However, there are also students in the class whose potential index exceeds one."

Upon hearing this, the students in the class immediately looked surprised.

Before they could even guess, the five-dimensional score on the virtual screen suddenly changed.

A large pentagon appears.

Su Yuan: Total Spiritual Power: 0.98
Spiritual power intensity: 1.04
Physical strength: 0.83
Physical potential: 1.11
Martial arts potential: 1.37
Overall potential index: 1.29
The students in the advanced class were deeply shocked!

With a potential index of 1.29, it's almost twice that of Xiao Kong!
Su Yuan's monthly exam score of 650, multiplied by the potential index, resulted in a total score of 838.5!

All eyes in the class fell on Su Yuan, their expressions complicated.

So this guy's first place in the advanced class was actually well-deserved?!

Su Yuan immediately felt an urge to stand up and give a victory speech, but unfortunately, he was suppressed by Tai Baiji's piercing gaze.

"Su Yuan, don't get too cocky."

Tai Baiji gently reminded him:
"Don't you have any idea why you have such a high potential index?"

I won't go into how you developed your physical potential or your martial arts potential.

"It should be noted that the potential index is not static. The lower your cultivation level, the easier it is to increase the potential index. Only if you can maintain this potential index after reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining will you have a greater than 50% chance of entering the top ten."

Su Yuan shrank back, realizing what was happening.

His physical potential looks high, but it's mostly due to the optimization he achieved after consuming too many blue pills.

After all, the pill's effects are clearly stated as being able to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the body's muscle groups, which is obviously part of its potential.

However, this adjustment function is ultimately limited, and it will not be able to improve further once it reaches a certain level.

As for his martial arts potential... he should be credited with the maxed-out "Rage Mind Attack," but he should be attributed more to the "unity of man and sword" he demonstrated in the Illusionary Realm.

Since ancient times, weapons and magical artifacts have been inseparable from martial arts and Taoist techniques.

How can you become a grandmaster if you have a gun but don't use your martial arts skills?

Although weapons and magical artifacts are not allowed in the college entrance examination, every student can wear standard protective gear. After the protective gear spirit is pleased, the defense is higher than others. How can this not be considered martial arts potential?
As for the scores in terms of total spiritual power and spiritual power intensity, let's not talk about that. It's definitely thanks to the Abyss Lineage. In terms of these two aspects alone, the difference between them and Xiao Kong, who has the Yin Fire Lineage, is not much.

P.S.: Chapter 2 will be a little later.
