Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 455 - 198: Cheating_2

At that time, it would truly be a case of relying on age to sell old.

So, Academician Fang, helplessly, could only swallow the retort that he had just woven with great difficulty.

He gave Liu Qingzhu a cold stare; he had thoroughly committed this junior to memory.

When his gaze returned, it swept past Kou Jing, slightly colder.

This old friend and rival had been quite active in recent events involving him!

Meanwhile, the Chief Instructor Yu Da had already used a starlight sky screen to present the methods and rules of this All Halls Competition directly to all disciples.

Xu Jin had seen it all clearly and was somewhat surprised.

Xu Jin had thought that the All Halls Competition might involve disciples from the various Academic Halls fighting each other, with the ranking of each hall determined by the ranking of their disciples, something akin to that format.

Unexpectedly, it was about the average score of each hall.

The specific rules were as follows: disciples from all halls would enter the Galaxy Secret Realm for battle, lasting a day and a night.

Killing alien races with different cultivation levels would earn varying points.

Here’s the crux: Xu Jin had assumed it might be the total score.

But it turned out the final ranking was determined by the average score.

That is, dividing the total score of each hall by the number of disciples in that hall to derive the average score.

In the end, the ranking of the Academic Halls would be determined by the average score.

And you know what, after giving it some thought, Xu Jin realized this method did have some uses.

The most important use was to balance resources.

This ranking method forced Academic Hall instructors not to allocate most of their resources to two or three genius disciples, and not to ignore the lowest-tier disciples in the Inner Court.

It was like the rule in Xu Jin’s previous life schools of calculating an average score to rank classes.

If the full score is 120 points, it’s difficult to raise an A-grade student’s score of over 100 by 10 points, but for a student scoring only twenty or thirty, raising their score by twenty or thirty points is far easier.

This would compel the instructors to diligently teach the Inner Court disciples and tilt the cultivation resources towards them, instead of securing the first place just by cultivating two or three geniuses.

Thus, the National Taoist Institute could develop in a balanced way.

In this world, although great power belongs to the individual, having more core strength is always better.

As for the reason Big Sister Yang Miaozhen was looking for him, Xu Jin understood it after seeing the scoring rules.

If the performance of the Inner Court disciples was more or less the same, the points earned by the combat power of Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm disciples would be crucial. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Alien races evolving within the Galaxy Secret Realm started from Second Order Star Casting and went as high as the peak of the Ninth Layer in the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm.

The points for killing alien races in the Star Casting Realm were the least. Regardless of their cultivation rank, killing an alien race in the Star Casting Realm awarded one point.

For an alien race in the Third-level Star Refining Realm, the points ranged from two to ten from the First Layer to the Ninth Layer.

For an alien race in the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm, the points ranged from eleven to nineteen from the First Layer to the Ninth Layer.

The point difference wasn’t significant.

But there were point multipliers for killing alien races of different tiers.

They were divided into ordinary alien races, elite alien races, and Heavenly Pride alien races, which corresponded to Mid to Low Grade Star Casting, top-grade Star Casting, and Top-Grade Star Casting.

Killing any alien race of ordinary rank awarded base points, killing an elite alien race doubled the points, and killing a Heavenly Pride alien race quadrupled the base points.

Of all sources of points, the highest were those obtained by killing Heavenly Pride alien races.

Big Sister Yang Miaozhen’s intention in finding Xu Jin was mainly to have him kill several Heavenly Pride alien races to make up for the shortage of Fourth Tier experts in Feiyan Hall.

Under Academician Fang, there were as many as six disciples at the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Middle Period!

Just their average points could far surpass Feiyan Hall by a considerable margin.

Fortunately, it was average points. If it were cumulative points, Feiyan Hall’s points would probably differ from Academician Fang’s hall by a factor of ten.

After reviewing the rules, Xu Jin’s brows furrowed.

He wasn’t scared about points; his strength was evident.

But the current problem was that Xu Jin was afraid of revealing his strength.

The assassination incident triggered by the four Gold Stars had just ended a few days ago.

If Xu Jin stood out too much in the All Halls Competition, would he draw the attention of the other halls to himself again?

The next assassination might be even more fierce than the present one!

This made Xu Jin hesitant.

Should he hold back his strength?

But holding back would disgrace his teacher, Liu Qingzhu.

Or, should he perform just adequately?

Yet that balance was difficult to grasp.

After some thought, Xu Jin looked at the National Master Cheng Yue Xiao seated high above and had an idea.

Let the State Preceptor worry about it; he sent a Starlight Transmission directly to the State Preceptor.

[State Preceptor, should I perform at full strength in the All Halls Competition or hold back to avoid attracting attention?]

[Ideally, you should hold back. The assassination incident from the four Gold Stars is not yet over. If you perform too well, it will draw attention again and bring danger.]

State Preceptor Cheng replied immediately to Xu Jin’s message.

[State Preceptor, but I want to make my teacher happy; I don’t want her to lose face. She’s really been good to me.]

Seeing this Starlight Transmission from Xu Jin, National Master Cheng Yuxiao immediately straightened up, his face filled with gratification.

What does a teacher fear?

What does a teacher favor?

They fear not students lacking respect for their mentor’s teachings or being ungrateful.

Teaching disciples is, after all, a teacher’s duty and brings no expectations of reward.

Generation after generation.

But teachers are also human.

What they love most are disciples who respect their teachings and value kindness and sentiment.
