Teacher Ren: "There's dinner. By the way, I heard you scored full marks on your virtual combat subject?"

Bai Pu nodded. The wound on his shoulder blade had mostly healed, and the three claw marks on his right eye were already scabbing over. After a night's sleep, the scars would completely disappear by tomorrow.

This is the recovery ability of the Awakened. Once the body's Life Value reaches its upper limit, it means the body has fully recovered.

Teacher Ren frowned and said, "You need to be a bit more careful. When the Spirit Realm Will performs a collective transfer, it divides students into different batches and assigns them to various Mirror Planes.

"In accordance with the Spirit Realm Will's usual practice of seeking balance, students with similar virtual combat scores are grouped in the same batch. Stronger students face stronger opponents, and weaker students face weaker ones, to observe your growth potential."

Bai Pu nodded and said, "Sister Ling mentioned this to me."

Although Bai Pu was aware of this practice, he didn't deliberately control his scores to end up in a weaker batch.

It's not that Bai Pu enjoyed challenging the strong, but he believed that he was the strongest in the Spirit Realm exploration subject.

Whether facing a group of strong opponents or weak ones, it ultimately didn't affect his score.

It should be others taking a detour when they see him, not him deliberately controlling his score to avoid them.

...

June 9th, in the morning.

The official announcement for the start time of the Spirit Realm exploration subject was made, which is the time for the collective transfer: Western Capital time, exactly noon at 12 o'clock.

Along with this, the method for the Spirit Realm Will to assess student scores was also announced.

Until the students leave the Mirror Plane, their status, world reputation, Merit Points, etc., will be converted into scores according to different proportions!

In the Mirror Plane, students can normally obtain all gains, which is no different from exploring the True Spirit Realm.

These gains also represent the score for the Spirit Realm exploration subject.

For instance, Bai Pu killed a native elite and drew a piece of Blue Equipment from the Spoils Treasure Chest. Besides using this equipment, he could also gain corresponding scores (the score is related to the estimated value of the equipment).

Thus, the Spirit Realm exploration subject in the college entrance exam actually offers all age-appropriate Awakened students an opportunity for free exploration of the Spirit Realm Plane!

All spoils the students obtain in the Mirror Plane can be brought back to the real world. This in itself is quite precious.

There's only one difference: the status, world reputation, and relationships with Spirit Realm characters that students attain in the Mirror Plane will reset to zero after the exam.

This is quite normal, as it's a Mirror Plane, not the original Plane World. The entire Mirror Plane, including the natives inside, are replicas created by the Spirit Realm Will. Conflicts and emotions with replicas won't extend to the originals.

Jiangnan Region, Xu Manor.

"Youzhen, here is the list I obtained of students nationwide who scored full marks in the virtual combat subject, totaling 79 people. If nothing unexpected happens, you 79 full mark scorers will likely appear in the same Mirror Plane." A bespectacled woman in a small blazer handed over a stack of documents.

The dark-skinned, bald young man named "Xu Youzhen" took the list and scanned it.

He was the Hero Profession known as "Crazy Zen" — the Cyan Dragon Monk! A direct descendant of the Xu Family in the Jiangnan Region.

"They are mostly mid-level Awakened, Level 4 and above."

Crazy Zen suddenly exclaimed when he saw further down, "How did a Level 2 sneak in? Despite him being only Level 2, under such serious Level Suppression, he could actually defeat the combat robot in the Core Ring?"

The bespectacled OL woman reminded, "This person just Awakened, hasn't made any name yet, nor has a code name. His real name is Bai Pu, the one who was accused of theft by the Superpower Group, causing a big sensation recently."

"Is it him?"

Crazy Zen chuckled, "I have an impression. This guy is interesting and might even be of use to me."

"Are you planning to recruit him? Should I send him an invite?"

Crazy Zen shook his head, "Focus on the college entrance exams first; no need to contact him now. Let's talk after I achieve the top score in the exams!"

East Sea Region, Witch Family.

A red shadow darted back and forth among the trees, and wherever it passed, only a series of thuds could be heard as dummies hidden among the trees fell one after another.

Each dummy suffered blows to its vital points such as throat and heart, leaving deep holes pierced in them.

"Phew..."

The red shadow stood still, revealing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a red outfit, with the buttons on her chest tightly straining as if they could pop off at any moment. She was wearing cropped pants, perfectly accentuating her slim waist and curvy hips.

"Qingyun, the list for the virtual combat subject is out, do you want to take a look?" a voice called out.

Wu Qingyun shook her head, "I don't have time to look. I need to go to the family's instance to practice my combat specialization for another two hours."

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you shall not fear a hundred battles," the voice continued to persuade from beyond the woods.

"A group of Level 4 Awakened, and they can threaten me?" Wu Qingyun said calmly, "With my current Level 6 power, at least two levels of suppression, I've got this year's top high school examination spot in the bag. My only opponent is myself!"

Similarly, many others who received full marks on the virtual combat exam data ahead of time were curious about Bai Pu, a Level 2 full-mark candidate.

After all, a group of mid-level Awakened, with a Level 2 among them, is like a husky mixed into a wolf pack.

Of course, some people were disdainful.

The Western Capital Region, Zhou Family's young genius code-named "Overlord" laughed and waved his hand upon hearing Bai Pu's background: "Come on, I don't know how hard he fought to get full marks in virtual combat, but that's precisely his flaw! Forcing into a level that doesn't belong to you comes with a price!"

...

Western Capital Time, exactly 12 o'clock noon.

Bai Pu sat in the examination room, surrounded by other Awakener candidates.

The candidates cautiously and vigilantly observed each other.

Bai Pu took a few deep breaths to calm his restless heart and closed his eyes to rest.

"I must secure this year's top high school examination spot. I've started strong with the cultural courses and virtual combat, next is my specialty, Spirit Realm exploration... I can definitely achieve it!"

Bai Pu thought silently to himself.

Becoming the top high school graduate brings significant notoriety bonuses, considerably increasing the cost for the Superpower Group to assassinate Bai Pu.

Moreover, the top high school graduate can receive generous rewards from the Spirit Realm Will!

According to previous interviews with top graduates, the rewards at least include a potent title, and an exceedingly rare chance to spin the Dark Gold Wheel! If lucky, getting Dark Gold Equipment (Lord Level Equipment) is not impossible.

Even without getting equipment, drawing other categories can still get you a reward equivalent to the value of a piece of Dark Gold Equipment.

Last year's top graduate, Wan Zhen, drew personal attribute enhancement, thereby gaining a full twenty points of free attributes!

The light of group teleportation flickered, white light gradually surrounded thirty people in the examination room, making thirty figures slowly fade and disappear.

A familiar sense of weightlessness emerged, and in front of Bai Pu, the Spirit Realm Will's prompt information appeared.

[Welcome to the Plane Scenario: Chibi.]

[This plane is a mirror plane, created by capturing a scenario segment from the Three Kingdoms Plane World.]

[In this plane, you can normally acquire all loot (excluding items unique to the world), but your relationships with native characters of this plane cannot be carried over to the true Three Kingdoms Plane World.]

[In this plane, no mainline or sideline quests will be generated. You can freely explore this plane for ten days.]

[Based on your virtual combat subject results, your entry order into the mirror plane is: First.]

[Detected that your level is only Level 2, noticeably weaker than the average level of current batch candidates. You have received a privilege, allowing you to freely choose a +1 level suffix.]

[A. Famous Family: Your initial background level in this plane is increased by 1 (including but not limited to pedigree, caste bloodline).]

[B. Eminent: Your initial status level in this plane is increased by 1 (including but not limited to official positions, military ranks).]

[C. Friend: You have the friendship of an Elite Level native in this plane.]

[D. Challenge: You have obtained a clue to a sideline quest in this plane.]

These four suffixes concern Bai Pu's identity, social relationships, and plot exploration after entering the plane. They are a nice addition.

Bai Pu first excluded options C and D. He considered those two not difficult to uncover.

Option A, Famous Family, and option B, Eminent, seemed similar, but Bai Pu discerned the difference after careful consideration.

Famous Family pertains to bloodline, while Eminent pertains to status position.

Take Liu Bei for instance, royal blood, a golden lineage; his bloodline is very high, but his initial status was very low—a mere mat weaver and straw sandal vendor.

Bai Pu decisively chose option A: Famous Family. In the Late Han and Three Kingdoms, bloodline is still highly valued, and having a higher-ranked bloodline increases the chance of gaining high-level natives' favor after making contributions!

As for option B: Eminent, it can be achieved through meritorious service in the plane world.

[You have chosen the suffix: Famous Family.]

[Please choose your faction. Available options: Cao Army/Sun Quan's Army/Liu Bei's Army.]

Bai Pu selected Sun Quan's Army without hesitation.

[Faction confirmed, generating initial identity...]

[Your initial identity is: A distant relative of the Lu Clan, a major family in Wu County, Lu Aniu; currently a soldier in Sun Quan's Army, East of the River Navy.]
