Chapter 394: The Gifted

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After the promotional examinations, Fang Yuan's batch of students was allowed to do whatever they liked.

Those who always had good results were doing their own self-revision, striving towards their goal of a better life in the future.

As for the majority with average results, they were constantly worrying and trying their best to establish ties in the outside world so that they would be able to find a job and make a living for themselves.

Finally, those with consistently poor results had already given up on themselves and were ready to enter society in whatever state they were in as soon as the results were back.

Amidst all this chaos, Fang Yuan remained calm.

Other than training himself every day, he also read some history books.

At this point, he was reading a fantasy Wuxia novel about a protagonist fighting against ghosts and demons.

In the history of Chinese Country, there were accounts of Daoist Swordsmen and Mages. They were all-mighty and awe-inspiring.

However, they soon disappeared from the face of Planet Earth, which was known as 'The End'.

"Hmmm... It seems like there were traces of spiritual droplets since the early years. However, it seemed to have weakened and now, it is making comeback... Is this the fixed cycle in this realm?"

Fang Yuan knocked his own forehead with his palm. "Looking at how things are... It is rather obvious that every country has their own secret inheritances. From there, I would be able to find traces of these supernormal forces..."

Unfortunately, it would not be applicable to him.

The body which Fang Yuan was possessing was a normal person. Even if he were to find any secret manual for cultivation, it would still be unable to cultivate anything from it.

On the other hand, Zhao Daniu was a prime example of a person with the potential to perform cultivation. If he were to do it, he might even be able to cultivate a special skill.

"My Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell is exactly for times like this...'

Fang Yuan thought to himself silently. 'After achieving Grade 1, my physical body should be no different from that of the evolvers and I can be considered as a cultivator. I will then be able to benefit from the spiritual droplets and alter my spiritual body. After which, I should start searching for the secret techniques of cultivation in this realm and quickly improve myself...'

His Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell was a foundation to change his body's potential. Fang Yuan placed more emphasis on the techniques to harness the power of the spiritual droplets using the cultivation techniques of this realm.

Only with these two aspects would Fang Yuan be able to achieve something and increase his cultivation.

"Fang Yuan!"

At this point in time, Wei Xiaohong walked towards him.

"What's up?"

Fang Yuan casually pushed the history book aside and replied.

"Teacher Zhang is looking for you!"

Wei Xiaohong had an uneasy look. Suddenly, she spouted something. "I am preparing to be a specialist, after which I will be able to enter the workforce directly!"

"Oh!"

Fang Yuan casually replied as he gazed at this lady, who had a complicated look on her face. "That's very good! Which kind of specialisation are you intending to go for?"

"Hmmm... Nursing!"

The young lady softly replied which made Fang Yuan feel that something was wrong.

Everyone knew that Fang Yuan wanted to be a doctor in the future. What would it mean for Wei Xiaohong to tell him all these?

Now that he paid more attention to her, Fang Yuan realised that Wei Xiaohong had already matured. She had a tanned skin, energetic look and was a beauty.

"What... what are you looking at?"

Wei Xiaohong was embarrassed to the point where she almost fainted.

"Nothing much, let's go!"

Fang Yuan stood up, approached her and whispered into her ear. "I'm sorry that I didn't say this earlier... I am more interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

Wei Xiaohong was in a daze. Satisfied at his little joke, Fang Yuan made his way to the office.

"Good day, Teacher Zhang!"

Politely, he greeted Teacher Zhang before realising that there were a few other teachers in the office.

There was another teacher in a green shirt. He was middle-aged and wore glasses, making him seem gentle and elegant. Another two teachers stood by Teacher Zhang and appeared solemn and serious, making the entire atmosphere tensed.

"Ah, it's Fang Yuan. Come in!"

Seeing her model student, Teacher Zhang Haiman was all smiles. "Teacher He, he is Fang Yuan!"

At the same time, she introduced Fang Yuan to Teacher He. "This is Teacher He Tianming from the capital! He is a professor from the most prestigious school and is in charge of the selection throughout the country. He is spearheading a project to start a gifted class in a university!"

"Good day, Professor He!"

Fang Yuan politely greeted him and faced him squarely.

"Hmm... Your results are not bad. However, the students I need for my class are the smartest of the smartest. These students would advance 3 levels and would start on the university curriculum. The workload will be very heavy!"

Professor He raised his glasses. "Your results topped the entire Mountain Ocean City, but they are not enough!"

"If I were to enter university directly, there should be requirements for Senior High School. I shall start my self-study..."

Fang Yuan smiled.

"Oh?"

He Tianming's eyes glistened. "Which levels are you intending to self-study?"

"I have already completed the self-study for the next 3 levels. You can test me on anything within the syllabus. Furthermore, I have already begun in Calculus and other topics taught in university!"

Fang Yuan spoke calmly.

It was too slow to follow the flow and sometimes, risks would need to be taken.

Furthermore, why should he constantly remind others that he would want to become a doctor in the future? It was all in preparation for the future so that he would be able to join the government to conduct research on the human body!

It was too slow for him to conduct experiments on his own. How could it compare to having the assistance of the entire country in conducting the experiments and research?

Since he had arrived at this realm filled with technology, it would only be wise for him to leverage on it as well as the support of the country.

It was a wise choice to enter the government.

"Self-study? The modules in university?"

Zhang Haiman was stunned but soon after, she smiled. "Although I know that you have the habit of picking up used books from the rubbish bin, I am still stunned that you are able to reach such a stage."

"We need to prove it. I will now prepare a test for you!"

He Tianming raised his glasses and smirked.

Those who knew him would know that this was his reaction whenever he was interested in something.

In a few moments, within the office, Fang Yuan scribbled writings as he rushed to revise. His ears twitched and the conversation from the other room was distinctly heard in his ears. With that, he revealed a sneaky smile.

Although the teachers were very far and they were separated by walls, Fang Yuan was still able to hear all of it.

...

"Director, what do you think?"

In an office with sealed windows, He Tianming held a few documents in his hands and frowned. "This Fang Yuan... He was once the troublemaker in the orphanage. Now, he has suddenly turned hardworking and consistently topped the class. This does not seem normal..."

"Through the few physical tests, we have found out that other than his brain which we cannot directly measure and test, everything about him is normal!"

A cadre which was attached to the director flipped a few documents and retorted.

With the control the country had over its people, as soon as they took notice of Fang Yuan, the government was able to fish out all the documents and information regarding Fang Yuan's past.

"He might be simply a gifted child or an evolver with a highly developed brain. Why would all this matter? What we need is his contribution to the country! After all, he will still be raised through a university education and we will be able to know more about him in a few years time to come. If he is really gifted, then we can allow him to join the government. Otherwise, we can still let him become a normal technology developer to build the foundation for our country!"

Director Zhou made a decision.

"Hmmm, then let's make a decision after seeing his results for this test!"

With this sentence, He Tianming was filled with even more anticipation. "After going about through more than ten cities, the number of gifted people can be counted with my fingers. Hopefully, this one will not disappoint me..."

"Director Zhou, Professor He!"

A teacher knocked on the door. "Fang Yuan has already completed the test and wants to submit his script!"

"What?"

He Tianming shook his head. "How is this possible? I gave him two hours but only 10 minutes have passed!"

"Could he have failed to complete the test and leave a few questions blank?"

Director Zhou witnessed He Tianming while he was setting the paper, and knew that even university students would not be able to answer some of the questions.

With that, He Tianming laughed. "In the previous few cities, the few gifted students who are boastful, aren't they all like that?"

"Let's take a look!"

He Tianming sighed as he entered the office.

"Good day, Professor He!"

Fang Yuan handed his script and his writing filled the entire paper. However, they were neat and tidy, and as He Tianming read through, he nodded his head.

Even if the answers were not correct, the tidiness of his handwriting and presentation had already left a good impression on He Tianming.

With that, he took the script and started marking. His expression started to change. "Your logic is clear and your methods are correct... full marks... Fang Yuan, did you do all these?"

"I believe this invigilator will be able to testify for me!"

Fang Yuan replied without any reservations.

With his colleague's affirmation, He Tianming's face was filled with happiness. "I'm sorry, what I meant was that you are only fifteen, right? Considering your age, this is unbelievable!"

"Most of them are content from the textbook. Only a few questions would require me to do some additional interpretation, but that is all!"

Fang Yuan placed his hands in his pocket. "How's that? Have I passed?"

"Of course... I believe that Xijing University will be very pleased to have you as their gifted student!"

He Tianming exchanged glances with Director Zhou and was elated. "What about you? Do you have any requests? We can consider acceding to them..."

"I prefer to study Medicine, especially the combined theory of ancient and present-day study of the human body...."

Fang Yuan thought for a while. "Also, I would like to recommend a few of my friends for their preferred jobs!"

"Medicine?"

He Tianming took out a notebook and quickly recorded it down with his ballpoint pen. "Also, to help your friends get their jobs... that's fine, we can do all of that."

"If there's nothing else, when can I report to Xijing University?"

Fang Yuan came straight to the point.

"September of Year 02. That is when the new school term starts! Call us before you board the train. We will send someone to pick you up from the station. Don't worry about your accommodation and your necessities!"

Director Zhou finally spoke and sounded amicable.

Regardless, he admired Fang Yuan for the fact that he remembered about his friends.

Anyone would feel at ease when interacting with someone with a good personality.

"Alright, Fang Yuan, I'll see you at the university!"

He Tianming stood up, shook his hands with Fang Yuan and left the school.

"Alright!"

From behind, Teacher Zhang Haiman approached Fang Yuan with tears in her eyes. "It's Xijing University, the most prestigious university in Chinese Country. Fang Yuan, you are the pride of our orphanage! I have decided to start an assembly this afternoon and you shall prepare a speech... and be a role model for your juniors!"

Fang Yuan remained speechless.
