CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56 I HAVEN’T GOTTEN ON THE CAR YET! WHY DID YOU START DRIVING?_1

「Noon, 12:12 PM.」

Su Yan had just come out of the school cafeteria, following a group of Evolutionary Science students toward the school gate.

When he arrived at the gate, groups of students had already formed outside, whispering among themselves.

On either side of the school’s exterior were ten parked buses.

The physical assessment for the Evolutionary Science exam wasn’t conducted at their own school but was held at the city’s sports stadium.

Thus, students from Luo City Number One High School who had registered for the Evolutionary Science exam would head to the city’s sports stadium for the physical assessment. They were to take the buses in groups, organized according to their morning written exam seating arrangements.

As Su Yan looked for his group, a pleasant voice came from behind him, "Su Yan, over here!"

Following the voice, Su Yan quickly saw Lin Ruoxi standing at the front of a group, waving at him.

He smiled toward Lin Ruoxi in response and then went to the back of the line.

In the morning’s written exam, he and Lin Ruoxi were in the same examination room, so naturally, they were arranged to ride on the same bus.

Before long, the teachers leading each group began to call the roll.

A mature and attractive female teacher at the front of the first line held a register and called out in a knowledgeable tone, "1A, Xu Kuncai!"

"Here!" a boy with delicate features responded, his voice equally gentle and weak.

The attractive mature female teacher continued to call the roll, picking up speed, "1B, Xiao Yan!"

"Here!" a boy with an expression of deep resentment answered, a ring on his finger.

She kept calling names, her voice sharp and decisive, "1F, Ye Fan!"

"Here! Here! Here! Here..." the student’s voice boomed, caught in a loop of repetition.

The roll call went on...

Teachers of other groups also took out their registers, calling, "2A, Ding Zhen!"

"Here!" a boy with a bright smile on his face and a look of innocence in his eyes responded.

"2B, Zhang Kaizi!"

"Here..."

While the teachers called names, school leaders at the back of the groups were in conversation.

Leader A said, "I wonder how many students from our school will pass the physical assessment of the Evolutionary Science exam this year, and how many Advanced Level Beings we will have."

Leader B replied, "There were a total of 369 applicants for the Evolutionary Science exam this year. I think it shouldn’t be a problem to have 70 students pass and produce 5 Advanced Level Beings."

Leader C commented, "Seventy students passing the physical assessment seems unlikely. We only had 56 students pass in last month’s mock assessment. If 60 pass this time in the official exam, we would consider it a success."

Leader A mused, "Having 60 students pass isn’t bad at all, considering that we only had 38 last year."

Leader B sighed, "Sigh, we’re not as good as some but better than many. If only we could have a student become a Rare Level Creature, maybe even the top scorer in the city, that would be great."

The other school leaders nearby all showed faces of resignation upon hearing this.

In recent years, the quality of education at Number One High School had declined year by year. Now, it was getting trounced by Number Two and Number Three High Schools.

Last year, both Number Two and Number Three High Schools had made historic breakthroughs in the Evolutionary Science exam.

Their pass rate for the physical assessment was over 20%, far exceeding the city average by 5 percentage points.

As a result, Luo City Number One High School had steadily fallen to third place.

Soon, all the groups had finished the roll call, and under the guidance of their teachers, the students gradually boarded the buses.

Since Su Yan was last in line, by the time he boarded, almost all the front seats were taken.

Consequently, Su Yan could only begrudgingly head toward a seat in the back.

The ventilation at the back wasn’t great, and it felt quite stuffy.

Thus, Su Yan opened the window beside him a crack, trying to let in as much fresh air as possible.

Just as he was enjoying the fresh air flowing in from outside, a very pleasant fruit fragrance subtly wafted in.

Pure, sweet, refreshing—its fragrance was soul-soothing.

In the middle of the day, where could this fragrance be coming from?

With this question in mind, Su Yan looked in the direction of the scent, and what caught his eye was a vine plant in the green belt.

At this moment, the unnamed vine was emitting whiffs of light purple mist from amidst its lush leaves, looking quite romantic and beautiful.

An ancient saying goes, "Purple mist from the east, auspicious clouds to the west," a sign that fortune is on its way.

Thus, faced with the vine continuously diffusing purple mist, Su Yan couldn’t help but feel curious.

He activated his Five Senses Perception to the maximum and observed the plant closely.

It emitted a green luminescence throughout, and its fine leaves shone with a subtle gloss. It looked almost indistinguishable from the common weeds by the roadside.

However, the plant’s trunk was exceptionally thick, growing in an upward spiraling manner.

The surface bore many flaky pieces of old bark, which highlighted a vigorous sense of life.

Looking over the whole plant, it was full of vitality and strength.

It somewhat resembled an azure dragon, shooting straight into the clouds, giving off an ancient and time-worn vibe from the days of old.

Could this be one of those Exotic Flower Fruits?

With this thought, Su Yan didn’t even bother with the car door but instead jumped directly out the car window.

At this time, he was the only one in the back seat, and the bus was parked at the very edge.

So from beginning to end, no one noticed him jumping out of the window.

Once he landed, Su Yan immediately strode quickly to the green belt.

View the correct content at NovelBin.

Gently brushing aside the dense branches and leaves, he discovered a fruit hidden within. The fruit was slightly round in shape with a color that was a light yellow tinged with purple.

If it weren’t for the thin, wispy purple Qi surrounding the fruit, he would have mistaken it for a ripe plum.

A fruit surrounded by purple Qi...

This couldn’t be an Exotic Flower Fruit, could it?

At this revelation, Su Yan felt his entire being start to waver.

Exotic Flower Fruits, these natural treasures, were incredibly hard to come by. Yet here one was, appearing right in front of him as if in a dream.

Anyone would find it hard to believe and would think they were dreaming.

As time went on, the purple Qi swirling around the fruit grew increasingly dense.

Appearing as fine wisps, it slowly diffused from the fruit, spreading in all directions.

At this moment, every insect in the green belt was attracted by the wispy purple Qi.

One after another, they fluttered their wings violently, flying towards the fruit. Like moths to a flame, they were eager to Devour the Exotic Flower Fruit.

Seeing this, Su Yan swiftly plucked the fruit, and shortly thereafter, an item prompt appeared deep within his mind.

[Three Life Taoist fruit]: A Legendary fruit said to grow within the river of time, spanning past, present, and future.

Then, several more prompts popped up from the depths of his mind.

[Three Life Taoist fruit detected]

[Would you like to Devour?]

[Option 1]: Yes

[Option 2]: No

[Devouring will greatly increase Creature Spirit Strength, significantly boost healing ability, and also improve Skill Resistance]

Holy crap, this fruit is Incredible!

Seeing this, Su Yan felt completely exhilarated. What he lacked most at the moment was a natural treasure that could boost his spiritual power.

The appearance of this Three Life Taoist fruit was a true godsend. It could also enhance healing abilities and increase Skill Resistance.

This fruit is truly Incredible!

Just as Su Yan was feeling somewhat dazed, the bus he was supposed to be on suddenly started up.

With a YIKU, YIKU, it shot onto the road, quickly leaving him far behind.

"Fuck, I haven’t gotten onto the bus yet!"

Watching the bus get farther and farther away, Su Yan was utterly dumbfounded.

But soon, he completely snapped back to his senses, and a terrifying power burst from his feet.

The next moment, a loud BOOM resonated from the ground as Su Yan smashed it beneath his foot, his slender legs turning into afterimages. He chased after the bus at extremely high speeds.

Then, he exerted force with his legs again and performed the Legendary Nine Heavens Thunder double leg kick, propelling himself high into the air.

After that, a THUD was heard.

He landed perfectly on the roof of the bus, sat down quietly, and went with the vehicle towards the city’s sports stadium.

This spectacle just happened to be witnessed by a group of school leaders behind him, leaving them dumbfounded with their faces filled with confusion.

What in the world was with this student? Chasing a bus on foot? Jumping onto the roof? Even they, as Advanced Level Beings, couldn’t do this!!!
