Chapter 30: Why is it so difficult to hide clumsiness?

Cheng Han rode his bicycle and arrived at the school gate, only to find that it was sealed off.

This was not surprising.

Qin Zicheng was a student of the 15th Middle School. Since the authorities discovered that he was a follower of a foreign god, how could they not thoroughly inspect the school?

At this time, a quarantine fence had been set up at the school gate. Whether it was students or teachers, everyone had to undergo an inspection before being allowed to pass.

A large group of inspectors in black uniforms closely watched the people coming and going.

Interestingly, among them was a "familiar face" - Captain Liu.

Cheng Han muttered to himself, "It's a small world indeed," and joined the queue, quietly waiting for the inspection.

Perhaps due to the influence of a few remaining imprints, Cheng Han's hearing had become more sensitive than before, and he faintly heard the conversation among the inspectors.

"The captain is so lucky... He gained two merits for free..."

"At the end of the year, there will be a deputy director retiring... The captain has a high chance..."

Cheng Han couldn't help but curl his lips.

Captain, you owe me a big favor!

Before long, it was Cheng Han's turn in the queue.

An inspector shouted, "The five students behind, come forward for registration."

After a simple registration, Cheng Han and four other students entered the security room together.

In the center of the room was an object resembling a tortoise shell, made of a material similar to jade but with a hint of metallic luster. It was engraved with many mysterious patterns.

Another inspector with a big beard reminded them as usual, "This is the 'Mysterious Turtle Stone.' It can check for spiritual contamination. Its power is stronger than the Mysterious Spirit Wall. Don't stare at it for too long."

He noticed that halfway through his words, four people couldn't resist the pressure of the Mysterious Turtle Stone and had to look away.

Only one student actually observed the patterns intently and only shifted his gaze after the sentence was finished.

The big-bearded inspector stared at him and asked with interest, "What's your name, young man?"

Cheng Han was taken aback for a moment and answered, "Cheng Han."

The big-bearded inspector praised, "Besides checking for spiritual contamination, the Mysterious Turtle Stone can also test the strength of one's spirit. We have already tested over two hundred students this morning, and your spiritual strength is definitely the strongest."

The other four students all looked at Cheng Han with astonishment in their eyes.

Cheng Han felt somewhat helpless. Why was it so difficult to hide clumsiness?

During the previous meditation class, when observing the Mysterious Spirit Wall, Qiu Yuan calmly saw through the truth. Now, during the spiritual test, even the inspector noticed something unusual.

The big-bearded inspector paused and said, "Cheng Han, I estimate that there won't be more than two students in the entire 15th Middle School who are stronger than you."

In other words, he could rank in the top three in the entire school.

Cheng Han modestly said, "You're overestimating me."

He personally believed that he had the ability to gaze at the Mysterious Turtle Stone for a long time. On one hand, his spiritual strength was indeed not weak, and on the other hand, it was related to the remaining imprints.

The big-bearded inspector smiled, "I have always had good judgment. There is definitely no overestimation."

Cheng Han had nothing to say.

Is it normal to chat like this?

The other four students firmly remembered the name "Cheng Han."

Everyone knew that the 15th Middle School had over two thousand students, and the probability of becoming a warrior for the top three students was almost over 95%.

In short, they had a bright future.

The big-bearded inspector politely said, "Cheng Han, stand next to the Mysterious Turtle Stone and place your right hand on the edge."

Cheng Han followed his instructions.

The big-bearded inspector was kind and gentle towards Cheng Han, but not so much towards the other four students. "You guys, hurry up."

But no one felt it was unfair.

In this world, the stronger one was, the more dangers they faced. Rights and obligations were equal. They enjoyed privileges beyond ordinary people, so it was not unreasonable.

The big-bearded inspector walked to the other side of the Mysterious Turtle Stone and pressed down on a light brown crystal embedded on it.

"Crack!"

It sounded like the collision of mechanical devices.

A strange wave instantly surged out of the Mysterious Turtle Stone.

"Buzz~"

In Cheng Han's mind, there was a faint buzzing sound, accompanied by a slight dizziness, but his body remained upright, like a tall and straight pine tree.

Within his spiritual sea, the three residual imprints seemed to have been stimulated and became slightly brighter.

On the other hand, the other four classmates didn't look too good.

Their bodies swayed from side to side, as if they were drunk.

Anyone witnessing this scene could easily conclude that Cheng Han's strength far surpassed the others.

The bearded man glanced at Cheng Han several times in a row, his admiration becoming more evident on his face.

At this moment, Cheng Han saw an unexpected prompt: "Discovered related spiritual 'mysterious patterns', can refer to their structure to complete the residual imprints, do you want to complete them?"

He was surprised.

So the patterns on the turtle shell were the legendary mysterious patterns!

Besides skill deduction, there was another way to complete the residual imprints!

Cheng Han decisively said, "Complete them!"

In his spiritual sea, the purple light cluster representing the residual imprints instantly expanded several times. In its core, a strange thread-like structure could be seen growing rapidly.

Perhaps due to "copying", the completion was finished in a very short moment.

The purple light cluster returned to its original state.

But its size had increased significantly compared to before.

Another message popped up: "Proficiency +32, current proficiency is 174/1000, spiritual value is 11.8/16.3."

Cheng Han was extremely delighted.

An additional 32 points of proficiency, setting a record!

The upper limit of his spiritual value increased by a whopping 1.6 points!

He touched the residual imprints with his mind again and obtained related data: "Residual imprints, completeness 6.78%."

The completeness had doubled!

Truly worthy of being mysterious patterns!

Today's gains were truly enormous!

In his joy, Cheng Han couldn't help but feel a sense of "cause and effect" in everything.

He had worked hard for many days, found the mastermind behind the Grass Dog incident, and helped the authorities eliminate Qin Zicheng.

All of this led to the authorities sending people to inspect the school, which gave him the opportunity to come into contact with the mysterious turtle stone, and then he had the recent stroke of luck, which allowed him to complete the residual imprints to some extent, ultimately causing a significant increase in the upper limit of his spiritual value.

To some extent, this could be considered a reward for doing good deeds, right?

After a breath.

The bearded man shouted, "Alright! The inspection results are normal, your spirits haven't been contaminated."

The fluctuations subsided accordingly.

Cheng Han's expression remained calm.

The other four classmates had pale faces, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness.

The bearded man advised, "The pressure from the mysterious turtle stone on the spirit is a bit heavy, feeling uncomfortable is normal. After you go back, drink some hot water and rest, and you'll be fine."

This sentence obviously didn't include Cheng Han.

The bearded man waved his hand, "Alright, you can leave now."

Cheng Han nodded in acknowledgment, turned around, and walked out with extremely steady steps.

The footsteps of the other four classmates were somewhat unsteady, obviously having been tossed around quite a bit.

In comparison, the difference was clear.

After walking a distance, Cheng Han caught the sound of discussions from behind.

"This guy named Cheng Han is so powerful, why have I never heard of him before?"

"I do remember, a few days ago, the school selected a group of outstanding students to observe the Town Mountain Mysterious Wall. Cheng Han is from Class 2 of the third year, and he took Fang Han's spot."

"I've heard of Fang Han, this guy relied on cheating methods to perform well in the meditation class."

Cheng Han couldn't help but shake his head.

There were too many gossiping boys and girls on campus, and rumors spread quickly.
