"The principal just said that Liangzhou University requires N-level Awakeners to undergo a test when they enroll. What exactly is this test?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"It\'s hard to say, but the test will definitely be related to the university courses to ensure that N-level Awakeners can keep up. I\'ll inquire about it next time I visit," Li Nanxing said.
"Thank you, Principal. I don\'t have any more questions for now; I\'ll be going back."
Xiang Beifei stood up, ready to leave.
"Hold on."
Li Nanxing got up and looked at his system panel.
In his "Confucian Saint System," there was also a shop where prestige value could be exchanged for corresponding rewards.
His gaze searched the shop for a moment, then with a grand gesture, he already had two small jade bottles in his hand.
"Here, take these."
Li Nanxing handed the small jade bottles to Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei looked at the two small jade bottles with surprise. He saw the prompt from the "Confucian Saint System":
[Qi Condensing Pill x10, 2000 prestige value]
[Forgetting Dust Pill x50, 3000 prestige value]
"These are..." Xiang Beifei said, puzzled.
"I\'m not sure what method of cultivation your system provides, so I can\'t arbitrarily help you, but these two items are aids for cultivation and learning, and anyone can use them," Li Nanxing explained. "The Qi Condensing Pill can be used to gather the surrounding Spiritual Energy, allowing you to attract the nearby Spiritual Energy to yourself while cultivating, doubling the efficacy.
This is the Forgetting Dust Pill. If you want to study or cultivate seriously, you can light a Forgetting Dust Pill to create an ideal learning environment."
Items from the system can be traded or given away, but because each person\'s system attributes are unique and awakened to fit the individual, they are not interchangeable with others.
Most of the items provided by a system can only be used by oneself; others can not use them.
Only a part can be shared with others, such as these pills that aggregate surrounding Spiritual Energy or shield against environmental disturbances. They are not for transforming oneself but for creating an environment.
"But... why?"
Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled.
He and the principal had never had personal contact before; they were complete strangers, and he couldn\'t understand why Li Nanxing would give him such items.
"Actually, after what happened yesterday, I specifically looked up your family background in the records and found out that your parents were pioneers who died on a mission," Li Nanxing said reflectively. "Pioneers are the most noble profession in this world, and every one who sacrifices deserves respect."
His gaze complicated, he continued, "Then I discovered that I actually knew your father."
"My father?"
Xiang Beifei was very surprised.
"Yes."
Li Nanxing pointed to a photograph on the wall and explained, "Your father also studied at this school, and he awakened an SR-level talent! Look here."
He pointed to an old photograph, slightly yellowed, taken on the school\'s playground. About a dozen people were in the photo, Li Nanxing in the centre, with Xiang Beifei\'s father in the second row.
Xiang Beifei hadn\'t looked closely earlier and had overlooked it.
"Luhe High School 100th Anniversary Alumni Meeting."
Li Nanxing sighed and added, "The people in this photo are all SR system Awakeners from different years; the anniversary celebration manged to gather all twelve SR Awakeners from various years."
SR Awakeners are extremely rare, one in a thousand, typically appearing every two or three years.
This year, Luhe High School has not seen a single SR appear.
Gathering all twelve SR Awakeners at once could only have been achieved during such an event as the anniversary celebration.
Xiang Beifei stared at his young father in the photo, who looked to be about twenty years old.
He knew that his father was named Xiang Tianxing, but that was all he really knew.
His memories weren\'t particularly plentiful; he had been raised by his grandfather, his parents being too busy and seldom home. Even when they were home, it was just a fleeting glimpse, barely speaking before they left again.
Until a mission four years ago, after which his parents never returned home again.
Ultimately, he was influenced by the memories of his former life, and some emotions were still there.
"At the time of the centennial school celebration, you had not been born yet. Afterwards, because of your father\'s job, I never contacted him again, and I had no idea his son had grown so much."
Li Nanxing sighed, "No matter what, I am giving you these two things; you must work hard, just as you said, \'go for it with all you\'ve got.\'
Xiang Beifei looked at Li Nanxing\'s system interface.
[Prestige Value: 15713544]
5000 points were deducted.
Li Nanxing\'s realm was in the late Meridian Opening stage, just a step away from the God Refining Realm.
He needed to use the God Refining Pill to help himself break through to the God Refining Realm.
Purchasing one God Refining Pill required 16 million prestige points.
He was still short by nearly 290,000!
The higher the strength, the more arduous the system tasks, the harder it was to elevate one\'s realm.
Every prestige point was extremely precious to Li Nanxing, who usually accumulated them very cautiously.
It had taken him ten years to save up these 15 million prestige points.
He had reached the late Meridian Opening stage ten years ago and had not been able to advance a single step further since then.
Unexpectedly, for Xiang Beifei\'s sake, he was actually willing to spend 5000 prestige points.
This was indeed a generous gesture.
Understand this, even though Xiang Beifei had awakened the system yesterday, adding only 10 prestige points to Li Nanxing,
and an S-grade Awakener is only worth 1000 points.
—
Xiang Beifei valued these two items very much because they were much more powerful than the system rewards given to Liu Qianrou and the others, enough to illuminate the constellations.
"Thank you, Principal."
Xiang Beifei said.
"No need for thanks, go back now, and do not mention this matter to anyone else, or they will accuse me of favoritism."
Li Nanxing waved his hand.
"Understood."
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, didn\'t say much, and turned to leave the office.
Li Nanxing watched Xiang Beifei\'s retreating figure.
This young man gave him a very special feeling.
Even after experiencing such significant ups and downs yesterday, he faced them calmly; he seemed unconcerned with the fact his system was N-grade.
It\'s rare to find someone with such a mentality!
"I know it\'s impossible for you to get into an elite university this year, but with your positive attitude, perhaps if you retake the exam for three or four more years, a miracle might happen."
Li Nanxing admired Xiang Beifei\'s ambition, but he was not optimistic about his performance this year.
Even Shang Tianxiong, the governor of Liangzhou, had to retake the exams for four years to get into Liangzhou University!
Thick and thin hair!
Only then did he pass the N-grade Awakener test set by Liangzhou University.
No one had the perseverance like Shang Tianxiong.
Li Nanxing was willing to spend five thousand prestige points to help Xiang Beifei complete the first system task for a reason.
Back when Xiang Beifei\'s father awakened the SR system, he had only recently become principal.
An SR Awakener appearing in his school brought him a huge increase in prestige points, which allowed him to break through at a crucial moment.
Moreover, Xiang Tianxing had an excellent reputation in the alliance, and, all told, had brought him many prestige points, far more than just these five thousand.
In a sense, Xiang Beifei\'s father had also done him a favor.
If Xiang Beifei failed, then consider these five thousand prestige points a way to commemorate Xiang Tianxing.
