Chapter 43 - What Benefits Does Su Mu Have?

After waiting for nearly a minute, the recruitment teachers surrounding Wu Jian couldn't wait to ask, "So, what's the efficiency rate?"

"80%!" Wu Jian reported a figure, his voice trembling slightly.

"How much?"

"An 80% utilization rate? Is that correct?"

The recruitment teachers all expressed their skepticism.

The best Spirit-Channeling Runes currently have a 70% efficiency rate for utilizing spiritual power. Although many people are researching Spirit-Channeling Runes to increase this rate, the technical challenges are not easily overcome, so progress has been minimal.

A rune drawn by an examinee has increased the efficiency rate of spiritual power to 80%? That seemed almost magical, no wonder they were doubtful.

"Just try it yourselves and you'll know."

Wu Jian didn't waste words; he simply peeled the Spirit-Channeling Rune off his phone.

Immediately, someone grabbed it to perform a secondary test, and soon exclaimed, "It really is 80%!"

"My turn, let me try, my phone has less than 10% battery left..."

"We're testing the efficacy of the Spirit-Channeling Runes, and all you think about is charging your phone? Shouldn't you be embarrassed? If anyone's going to charge their phone, it should be me first, mine's under 5%!"

Several recruitment teachers from the runic formation major quickly took their turns testing and were all soon convinced by the effects of this Spirit-Channeling Rune.

"Where did this kid learn this new style of drawing?"

"Learn? Not necessarily. There are many who study Spirit-Channeling Runes and claim to make progress, but none have truly achieved results."

"Could it be that he figured it out on his own?"

While Wu Jian and the others were discussing fervently, recruitment teachers from other majors were also highly praising the Magical Tools, particularly the hammer and the fragrance named "Brilliant Peach Blossom."

An artifact cultivation master held Su Mu's hammer, unable to put it down, and repeatedly praised, "Many of the designs on this Multi-functional Precision Hammer are better than those on the hammer I currently use. I've never seen a better one among the basic Multi-functional Precision Hammers."

This was high praise, yet no one disagreed. All the recruitment teachers skilled in artifact cultivation agreed with their colleague's assessment.

"It has many designs that align more with ergonomics and the kinetics of spiritual power movement, truly marvelous."

"Using this hammer to create and repair Magical Tools saves more effort and makes it easier to achieve the desired effect than other Multi-functional Precision Hammers."

Nearby, a grand alchemist was swiping on his phone, pulling out an Incense Burner shaped like a Gilded Toad from dimensional space.

With a gesture, Brilliant Peach Blossom Fragrance Pellets, pale pink as if surrounded by blossoming peach flowers, began to float up.

The Gilded Toad Incense Burner came to 'life' in an instant, eyes opening wide and mouth gaping as it 'whooshed' and swallowed the Brilliant Peach Blossom Fragrance Pellet, its belly igniting a fiery warmth to bake and perfume the pellet.

Soon, a faint yet distinct fragrance rose from the Gilded Toad Incense Burner.

The scent was sweet and pure, beautiful without being overwhelming, penetrating and refreshing to the heart.

"This fragrance is extraordinary!"

Several Alchemical Pharmacology recruitment teachers were continuously praising the unique fragrance as they greedily inhaled it.

Suddenly, the scent stopped. Looking closely, they saw that the Gilded Toad Incense Burner had ceased its warm fumigation.

"Sorry, it ran out of power... I didn't expect it to run out right at this moment."

The owner of the Gilded Toad Incense Burner apologized awkwardly and quickly took out a translucent, crystal-like spirit card. He forcefully inserted it into the slot on the toad's rear end.

Once recharged, the Gilded Toad Incense Burner resumed its operation.

The fragrance wafted up again, and everyone continued to gather around it, taking deep breaths.

Although there was no physical representation of the Fire-Attracting Spell, the examination system's data showed that its effects were also enhanced!

The recruitment teachers from the alchemical cuisine major were each holding a piece of information, engaging in enthusiastic discussions.

By this moment, the recruitment teachers were no longer surprised or doubtful about Su Mu's scores of four perfect marks.

With scores in spells, alchemical and Runic Formation, and Magical Tools, full marks were well-deserved.

Moreover, Su Mu's perfect scores were different from Pei Jun's.

Pei Jun's perfect scores were because he had the ability to achieve them; Su Mu's perfect scores were because the highest possible score was just that much.

A few minutes later, Teacher Sun received Su Mu's detailed information and reported it to the recruitment teachers.

"Su Mu is not a disciple of a cultivation family; his parents were ordinary people and passed away three years ago... He studied at No.7 High School in Yongfang. Although this school is a provincial key high school, the physical education teachers are all low-level cultivators, which cannot compare with the high-level cultivators hired by expensive private high schools..."

After getting a general understanding of Su Mu's background, the eyes of the recruitment teachers shone with greed, like hungry wolves in the desert that had spotted prey.

Even their breathing became heavier and more rapid.

If the information was correct, then Su Mu might have improved his knowledge of spells, alchemical and Runic Formation, and Magical Tools through his own comprehension and intelligence.

This was clearly a genius!

Throughout history, such geniuses have later become big shots!

They not only enhance the reputation of a cultivation university but also significantly improve the teaching and research level of the university!

Take Elder Yuan, for example. During his examination for cultivation, he made an improvement to a spell in the Spiritual Plants major and was thus admitted to the Southwest University of Spiritual Plants and Beast Taming.

At that time, Southwest University of Spiritual Plants and Beast Taming was only somewhat famous domestically, and not many people knew about it internationally.

After Elder Yuan joined, it didn't take many years for him to show his remarkable talents. He achieved one great result after another in the Spiritual Plants major, astonishing the world!

Southwest University of Spiritual Plants and Beast Taming then basked in his glory, becoming one of the top institutions in the world in the field of Spiritual Plants, a holy site that all students dreaming of studying Spiritual Plants wished to attend!

With these examples of big shots, it is natural that the recruitment teachers all wanted to recruit Su Mu into their schools.

Wu Jian was the first to speak: "We at the Southwest University of Science, Technology, and Cultivation want Su Mu. I suggest the rest of you don't compete with us for him."

"Why should we not compete? You say you want him, and that's it? We want him too. Given Su Mu's talent in the field of alchemical pills, he's bound to make great achievements in the future. He might even follow in the footsteps of Elder Tu and win another international prize for our country in alchemical pills! A talent like him should come to our school; going to yours would be a waste."

"If you ask me, Su Mu should come to our school..."

"You, a Spiritual Plants and Beast Taming University, should just stop trying to get in on the action for the sake of it."

"How is it getting in on the action? Don't forget, Su Mu's talent is well-rounded. Since he can achieve results in majors like runic formation and alchemical pills, he will certainly be no less capable in Spiritual Plants and beast taming."

"That's right, which is why I think Su Mu should come to our Cultivation Sports Academy. He could very well become a world champion in a particular field."

"Stop arguing, all of you. Your majors are too narrow; if Su Mu goes to your schools, it will only hinder his talents in other areas. He should be at our Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University!"

"We've decided, Su Mu is coming to our school! At most, we'll let you pick a few more of the other examinees."

"Don't even think about it! We want Su Mu, and we also want the other kids with high talent and good comprehension!"

"Now you're being unreasonable!"

"Nonsense, I've worked hard in my cultivation just so I can have the power to be unreasonable!"
