Chapter 1: Why Is This Immortal So Happy?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A wind of commotion blew around An Lin, encircling him as he stood atop a high-rise building.

He looked behind him, where a group of fiendish men was slowly cornering him.

"Hehehe, shitty brat, let's see how you escape this time. If you have the guts, why don't you just fly away!" The burly man in charge brandished the iron club in his hands, and a cruel look emerged on his face.

An Lin knew that he had no chance of escape anymore. However, once he started to think about the consequences of being caught, his body started to tremble uncontrollably. That kind of life was simply too inhumane!

What should I do? What should I do? It would be really great if I could fly…

Just as An Lin was thinking this, a gust of wind appeared and swept his body up off of the ground.

"H-h-hey?"

An Lin was terrified. He was swept away by the wind, he really was flying!

"Holy f*ck! He really can fly?" Seeing him being picked up off the ground, the burly man in charge became as dumbstruck as An Lin.

Right in front of everyone, a gust of wind had brought An Lin off the top of the building.

And then, the wind disappeared, and he started to free fall…

"Ahhhh… Save me!"

The wind howled past and the weightlessness caused by the rapid descent made An Lin shriek in fear.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

An Lin kept screaming this to himself in his mind.

The fear of imminent death enveloped him, and it caused every part of his body to tremble uncontrollably.

Atop the building, the brawny man in charge was dumbfounded as he looked at An Lin free falling. Soon after, he turned around to everybody and slowly opened his mouth, "That um… that kid was not forced to jump off the building by me, the assailant was the wind. You guys have got to testify for me… please… I'm innocent."

The people behind him were also standing there dazed. The wind appeared far too abnormally. How could anyone believe them, when they couldn't even believe it after witnessing it themselves.

Seeing the ground rushing towards him, An Lin shut his eyes in despair. He didn't expect his life to actually end in such a hopelessly stupid manner.

Right at that moment, a mysterious ball of white light suddenly appeared and enveloped his entire body.

The formidable force caused by the instantaneous deceleration also arrived at that moment. An Lin felt like he was riding a rollercoaster and had charged to the bottom, made a turn, then started to shoot towards the sky.

"Ahhh!"

An Lin started to shriek again. After flying towards the sky, his body landed back on top of the building once again.

The extreme severity of weightlessness and g-force, as well as the feeling of wavering between life and death, caused An Lin to feel a bout of dizziness. He then started to vomit meekly and uncontrollably.

"Hey… hey, young lad, are you feeling better?" At this moment, a barely discernible voice traveled into An Lin's ears.

He raised his head and found that an elderly man was looking down at him with a kindly expression.

Behind the elder, all the fiendish men who had come to capture him were already lying on the floor, unconscious.

The elder's hair and beard were all white and he had the demeanor of a transcendent being. His entire body was shrouded in a magical, golden aura, making him appear holy and flawless.

Seeing this, An Lin was startled, and numerous scenes rushed into his mind.

Novels, anime, movies…

All kinds of scenes started to appear in his mind, one after another. Wasn't this scene in front of his eyes the beginning of all dreams?

Thump!

An Lin kowtowed heavily, his eyes brimming with tears, "Immortal one, thank you for saving me!"

The elder who An Lin had addressed as an Immortal lightly stroked his white beard and smiled slightly, "I just made some blunders when casting my spell a moment ago and scared my little friend. Anyhow, why were these people chasing you?"

An Lin was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He made a blunder while spell casting? So, me being swept away by the wind just now was a misfortune caused by the Immortal?

In any case, it was the Immortal who had saved him. Upon hearing the Immortal's question, countless grievances welled up in his heart.

"It's like this. After my mother passed away, my father became addicted to gambling… He gambled away the house and amassed millions in debt that he was unable to repay. Afterwards, he ran off on his own!"

He took a break, then continued, "After I finally managed to get into Huaqing University, the creditor found me. He said he wanted me to pay off my father's debt…

"It was a few million! What would I possibly use to pay him back?!

"My girlfriend learnt that I had incurred a massive debt and left me without a second thought.

"I was taken away by the creditor to become a laborer. He said that as long as my dad paid off the debt, I would be able to leave.

"Yet… that kind of drudgery was simply inhumane! I really couldn't endure it, so I decided to make an attempt to escape. The creditor sent those people to capture me, which then leads up to our current situation."

With tears streaming down his face as he confided his troubles, An Lin felt that his future was bleak. What difference was there between living like a bludger and an entire life paying off debt?

After hearing of An Lin's sufferings, the Immortal had a look of sympathy in his eyes, "Young lad, your life has been so harsh… how about this. For you and me to meet is fate, and I see that you have exceptional aptitude. This Immortal will gift you a 'system' and allow you to turn your life around, how does that sound?"

An Lin shuddered upon hearing this. He initially thought that being able to form ties with an Immortal was already incredibly lucky and did not expect for the Immortal to be so generous and gift him a system in their first encounter.

"Immortal Grandpa, you are so kind to me! I really have no idea how to repay you!" An Lin was extremely moved, and tears brimmed in his eyes as he looked warmly at the elder.

The Immortal smiled kindly and turned his palm towards the sky. Immediately, an extremely pure ball white of light appeared in his palm.

"Young lad, come over here and hold this ball of light in the palm of your hand," the Immortal said to An Lin.

Hearing this, An Lin impatiently grabbed the ball of light.

The ball of light in his hands radiated hints of warmth, and the light emitted by the ball was extremely soft.

"Begin system transfer," the Immortal uttered slowly.

Just as the words left the Immortal's mouth, the light shining from the ball of white light became extremely radiant!

At this moment, the Immortal said to An Lin, "Young lad, make haste and swear that you accept this God of War System and will never abandon it in your entire life!"

God of War System?

What an intimidating name!

But why does the vow look like a marriage vow?

An Lin had no time to think and hurriedly said, "I swear that I accept the God of War System and will not abandon it in my entire life!"

Right after An Lin completed his vow, the ball whizzed directly into his body and fused together with him.

Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded in his mind, "Detected that the host has Tian Ming Physique, the qualifications are fulfilled. System is beginning fusion!"

An Lin was very moved, so moved that he wanted to cry.

He had initially thought that his future would be bleak and did not expect such a turn of events. To think that at this moment he would begin a new life accompanied by a cheating system!

The Immortal was also very moved, in fact, so moved that he had already started to cry!

He tearfully looked up at the sky and fell to his knees, descending unexpectedly into tears and laughter. "Bahahaha! You've finally f*cked off, I've finally received a new lease on life!"

"Immortal Grandpa, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Seeing the elderly man behave strangely, An Lin questioned him in a concerned manner.

Realizing that he had let his emotions get the better of himself, the Immortal regained his composure and wiped away his tears.

"Everything is fine, I just recalled some past events which I cannot bear to look back on… Young lad, after you receive the system, you need to work very hard," the Immortal said earnestly.

"M-hm! I will!" An Lin nodded his head honestly.

"Then do you want to go to a school to learn cultivation? I know a fairly good school you can get into," the Immortal continued.

Go to a school to cultivate? Only idiots would reject such an offer!

"I do, I really want to go!" An Lin barely hesitated before giving his answer.

The Immortal let out a satisfied smile upon hearing this, and pulled out a golden piece of paper from his sleeve, handing it to An Lin, "This is my letter of recommendation. With this, you can go to The United University of Cultivation to study and officially set foot on the path to becoming an Immortal."

An Lin was startled. It seemed that the Immortal had already helped pave a path for him to become Long Aotian 1 on this road of cultivation!

He respectfully took the letter of recommendation from the Immortal and looked at him with gratitude.

"May I ask what Immortal Grandpa's name is?"

"My name… let's not worry about that." The Immortal lightly stroked An Lin's head, a look of sympathy barely discernible on his face.

"I've got to go. See you later young lad."

The Immortal waved goodbye to An Lin and rode off into the clouds and mist.

"Take care Immortal!" An Lin gratefully bowed towards the Immortal who was flying towards the sky.

The sound of the Immortal's laughter traveled down from the heavens and it sounded extremely carefree and wanton. It appeared as if he had got rid of a lifetime of grievances.

Why is the Immortal so happy? Why does it feel like he's happier than me?

There was a look of confusion on An Lin's face while he scratched his head.

Right at this moment, a female voice sounded in An Lin's mind, "Hello."

An Lin shivered as he heard the voice. The female's voice sounded beautiful and heavenly.

This is the system's voice? An Lin was surprised and uncertain.

At this moment, an interface appeared in his mind.

The interface was grey and only a few words were displayed. It read 'The God of War System will activate upon entering the Tai Chu Continent'.

What the hell is the Tai Chu Continent?

Could it be…

An Lin recalled the letter of recommendation from the Immortal and expectantly spread out the golden sheet of paper in his hands.

He soon realized that there was nothing at all on the golden sheet, apart from a handprint slightly depressed into it.

An Lin was somewhat uncertain but placed his hand on the piece of paper anyways, matching his hand with the handprint.

Suddenly, a magnificent golden light radiated from the paper and An Lin only had time to exclaim in surprise before his body was swallowed by the golden light.

"Ah…!"

An Lin felt a rush of dizziness as light once again entered his vision.

He then realized that his body had once again appeared high up in the sky and was starting to free fall.

An Lin once again experienced the feeling of jumping off a building. Regardless of how many times he experienced that so-called refreshing feeling, he wanted to shed tears every time.

Boom!

He slammed heavily into the ground and was fortunate to have survived solely because of the golden light enveloping him and cushioning his fall.

"What kind of teleportation technique is this? It's way too violent!" An Lin grumbled as he lay on the ground sorely.

With much difficulty, he raised his head and tried to gather his bearings.

Then, he witnessed something that he would never be able to forget.

Two white pillars decorated with dragon patterns rose hundreds of meters into the sky, with mysterious characters he could not understand engraved onto a plaque.

Behind the gate, there were tens of thousands of palaces, with no end in sight.

Iridescent clouds drifted around the palaces and all kinds of Spirit Beasts soared between Heaven and Earth. The divine atmosphere was grand and magnificent.

An Lin stood dumbstruck, his face full of astonishment.

So, this world really does have an Immortal realm!

Could I have come to the Immortal realm…? An Lin tried to control his emotions and calm himself down.

After a moment, he saw a girl in daoist robes walking towards him. He hurriedly rushed over to greet her in order to make sense of his situation.

"Hello Immortal Sister," An Lin waved at the girl.

Upon seeing An Lin wave at her, the beautiful girl walked over to him.

Seeing this, An Lin excitedly asked, "Beautiful Celestial Maiden, may I please ask where this is? I've just arrived here and am not very familiar with the place."

Hearing An Lin's words, the girl's expression became odd, "Ji li gu lu?"

"Huh? What did you say?" An Lin was a bit confused.

Like An Lin, the girl also wore an expression of confusion. "Ji li gu lu wa lie ji li?"

An Lin was bewildered. What on earth was she saying?

A frightening speculation slowly crept into his mind.

"Fairy sister, do you know how to speak Mandarin?" An Lin's eyes were a bit teary.

"Gu lu gu lu wa ji ji ji?" The beautiful girl placed her hands on her hips and appeared a little angry.

It's over, we have a language barrier.

What on earth is she saying? I can't understand it at all!

At this time, An Lin was utterly stupefied, and he stood there with a glazed look in his eyes. He only had one thought in his mind.

Nani? This is completely different from the novels. Isn't the entire world supposed to speak Mandarin…?

Finally, An Lin started to cry.

I can't even understand the language, how will I learn cultivation and become an Immortal?

Other people begin their journey as weaklings, but I'm beginning mine as a retard!

Chapter 2: Most Networked Backdoor Entrant

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as An Lin began to despair, the system's interface suddenly appeared in his mind, and said, "Detected that the host has entered the Tai Chu Continent. Language system is being installed."

Seeing this, a look of joy appeared on An Lin's face. Finally, the language barrier problem has been resolved , he thought to himself.

After a moment, the system displayed another message, "Language system failed to install… The host needs to bark like a dog twice at a volume no less than 70 decibels."

An Lin: "…"

Who can tell me what the hell is going on!?

Why do I need to bark like a dog? What does that achieve?!

An Lin howled incessantly in his mind, yet the system interface gave him no response whatsoever.

"Woof, woof," An Lin barked quietly, and a look of humiliation showed on his face.

After a moment, the system displayed another message, "Detected that the host's voice is 20 decibels. Insufficient volume, unable to record."

An Lin: "…"

The girl looked at An Lin strangely. She felt as if she had heard An Lin making some weird noises…

The beautiful girl continued to speak in a language that he couldn't understand, and the way she looked at him also started changing gradually.

Yes, she was now already looking at him as if he was a retard.

An Lin couldn't endure this anymore, so he decided to go all out and bark loudly, "Woof! Woof!"

His voice was far too loud and attracted the attention of numerous passers-by, who looked at him with a bewildered expression on their face.

The girl standing in front of An Lin was also startled.

"Are you crazy?!" The girl shouted.

Ha, I've been called crazy, just as I expected. An Lin laughed bitterly.

"Hang on a second… I can understand what you're saying!"

An Lin came back to his senses, and a peculiar language left his lips almost instinctively.

The girl covered her mouth and she chuckled lightly. "Ah! So you are able to use human speech. I almost thought you were transformed from a Dog Demon when you suddenly started barking just then."

An Lin's face became beet red as he quickly tried to change the topic. "Um… hello, my name is An Lin. This is my first time here… can you please tell me where this is?"

Hearing this, the girl was a bit surprised. "How did you get here if you don't even know where this is?"

"Actually, it was an extremely powerful person who teleported me here through special means. I know absolutely nothing about this place."

"Oh, is that so. This land is the territory of the Heavenly Court," the girl explained as she pointed towards the palaces behind the gate, "The domain within these gates is the campus of The United University of Cultivation. I thought you were also a new student here."

"Wow! You're telling me that the vast territory behind these gates are all part of the university campus?" An Lin exclaimed in a surprised tone.

He looked towards the unending sprawl of building complexes in the distance. They stretched over a vast area and there was no end to them in sight.

"Is this weird? Speaking of which, what did you come here for?" the girl asked curiously.

"Actually, you guessed correctly just then. I am indeed a new student here." As he spoke, An Lin handed the piece of golden paper in his hands over to the girl.

"A True God's letter of recommendation!" the girl exclaimed.

Immediately, she began to look at An Lin in a new light.

The girl put on a charming smile and introduced herself to An Lin, "Hello, I'm Xu Xiaolan and I'm from the Stone Dragon State. I'm a new student here as well!

"Since you're unfamiliar with this place, I'll help you enroll."

Xu Xiaolan didn't wait for An Lin's response before grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the university gates.

An Lin felt extremely flattered. Why did the attitude of the beautiful girl in front of him suddenly become so good?

"The United University of Cultivation is sponsored by the Heavenly Court and is the top cultivation university in the Kingdom of the Nine States. The entire university spans forty thousand square kilometers…" Xu Xiaolan introduced the university to An Lin as they walked along.

An Lin's expression was full of yearning. The area occupied by this university was larger than the entire province of Taiwan!

After entering the university, what surprised him most was not the peculiar divine abodes, but rather it was the 'people' he saw on the streets.

Not only did they wear all kinds of clothing, their skin colors were also of various tones. An Lin even saw a male passerby with antennae on his head and a snail shell on his back…

In comparison, Xu Xiaolan in her daoist robes appeared to be the most normal person here.

The manner in which some students traveled was also very interesting. Some relied on floating, whilst others were flashier and used their magic treasures to fly. All of these methods appeared acceptable.

However, what was up with the person sitting atop the tornado?

Let's ignore the fact that you're sitting on a tornado… but why are you also spinning with the wind…

Seeing this, An Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

To his surprise, the person sitting atop the tornado appeared to be extremely sensitive towards laughter and they stared daggers at An Lin upon hearing him laugh.

An Lin had to endure the glare which appeared once for every revolution of the tornado and he dared not laugh until the person floated off into the distance.

Xu Xiaolan pointed ahead to where everyone was flocking, "The enrollment spot is just ahead."

There was a small plaza there and thousands of people were looking at it.

An enormous slab of black stone rested amongst the crowd and it occasionally emitted rays of white light.

Dao Body—Seventh Stage!

"Wow! So impressive…"

The crowd bustled about.

An Lin's face darkened. What was with the deja vu he felt looking at this type of aptitude test?

"This is the cultivation base 1 aptitude test performed before enrollment. Although we've already received a notice of acceptance, students will be allocated to different classes according to the level of their cultivation base," Xu Xiaolan explained.

"There are around ten thousand people in this new cohort and we'll be allocated into a hundred different classes. The cultivation base will be ranked from high to low, from Class One to Class One-Hundred respectively," Xu Xiaolan continued.

"What a simple and crude method of allocating classes," An Lin exclaimed.

"This can better facilitate teaching in accordance with a student's ability. Moreover, you clearly look like a genius and will easily make it into Class One." Xu Xiaolan smiled faintly.

Xu Xiaolan's explanation left An Lin speechless. He didn't even know what a Dao Body was, more like he would easily make it into Class One-Hundred…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan squeezed their way through the crowd and arrived at the enrollment spot.

Xu Xiaolan took out her white-colored notice of acceptance and handed it to a middle-aged man of extraordinary temperament, who had an immortal sword hanging from his waist.

She then walked to the front of the enormous slab of black stone and pressed her hand on it.

The stone emitted a dazzling white light and gigantic words appeared on it, "Dao Body—Ninth Stage!"

"What a genius! She's got a Ninth Stage Dao Body at such a young age!" the crowd exclaimed in shock.

People looked on in astonishment at the pretty girl who appeared elegant and modest in her daoist robes, and there was a hint of envy in their eyes.

"Xu Xiaolan, Class One!" the middle-aged man with an immortal sword announced loudly.

Under widespread attention, Xu Xiaolan made her way to a spot beside An Lin. "An Lin, it's your turn, good luck!" Xu Xiaolan smiled.

An Lin was a bit tense as he walked up and handed a golden-colored piece of paper over to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the golden-colored piece of paper from An Lin, and his look of indifference was replaced by one of surprise.

He hurriedly used his magical powers to activate the piece of golden paper, which began emitting a faint golden light upon activation.

The middle-aged man cast his eyes over to An Lin, and a faint smile unexpectedly appeared on his face. "Go ahead, go and measure your cultivation base," he said softly.

"It's a True God's letter of recommendation!" A sharp-eyed new student exclaimed as he saw the piece of golden paper.

Hearing this, the new students flared up in excitement.

"He actually has the ability to receive a True God's letter of recommendation, I wonder what clan this prodigy is from…"

"Speaking of which, isn't this already the third student in our cohort who has a True God's letter of recommendation?"

"Indeed… In the past, there might not even be a single one in a cohort. I didn't expect there to be three in a single cohort all of a sudden!"

The crowd was engaged in a spirited discussion, and almost everyone looked at An Lin with a fervent expression in their eyes.

When some of the young girls saw An Lin's handsome appearance, their faces blushed and they felt a budding affection.

Sh*t, why are they all looking at me…

Feeling the intense attention, An Lin had a feeling of unease.

Why do they all have such high expectations of me? An Lin felt as if he were faced with a dilemma.

Nevermind it, maybe I might even have a Tenth Stage Dao Body!

With this in mind, An Lin finally managed to regain some composure.

That's right, maybe I just haven't realized that I'm actually super awesome.

An Lin placed his hand on the enormous slab of black stone. A burst of white light shimmered out and his hand started to vibrate along with it. He felt tense but expectant.

Gigantic words suddenly appeared on the enormous slab of black stone, "Dao Body—Zeroth Stage!"

The crowd immediately fell into silence as everyone stared blankly at the words on the stone slab.

Some people even started to doubt what they were seeing and began rubbing their eyes.

An Lin was temporarily dumbstruck, even though he was already mentally prepared for this.

However, when this reality was suddenly thrust in front of him, he still felt a sense of disappointment.

Everything suddenly became frighteningly quiet.

An Lin looked at the faces of the new students. They appeared more dumbstruck than him, so he was at a loss for words.

"An Lin, Class One," the middle-aged man read out loud.

An Lin stumbled as he walked off. He turned to face the middle-aged man and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He even suspected that he had heard it incorrectly.

He then cast his eyes towards the new students and realized that they were also looking towards him with an indescribably complex expression.

Everything suddenly turned quiet again…

"The most networked backdoor entrant 2 of this cohort has appeared…"

Right at this moment, someone in the crowd made a remark.

Not a single person retorted him. In fact, many people even started to silently nod their heads in agreement.

They were all aware that the name 'An Lin' would soon spread through the entire United University of Cultivation.

After all, An Lin had claimed the record for being the first ever student to enter the best class with the worst results!

An Lin winced upon hearing this remark. He hung his head as he made his way back to Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan's eyes were full of sympathy, and she opened her mouth to console him. However, she had no idea where to even start…

An Lin raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle. He looked towards the sky with a dejected expression on his face.

He had just wanted to cultivate peacefully. Why did he have to become a focal point right after entering the university?

Moreover, he became the type of focal point that people were least fond of.

Chapter 3: The Loveable and Detestable System

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After finishing his enrollment, An Lin went to the residence that he had been assigned to.

When he arrived, he once again exclaimed in heartfelt admiration.

No wonder this is worthy of being labeled the top cultivation university of the Nine States. The benefits are top-notch, and every new student is allocated an individual two-story building!

The small building was constructed from wood and the furniture inside was all that one could wish for.

Of course, one could forget about computers, televisions, air conditioners, washing machines, and the sort. Most of the furniture here was made from wooden materials.

An Lin felt that this detail did in fact conform quite well with the scenes depicted in the cultivation novels he had read on Earth.

Although there wasn't any modern furniture, being allocated a villa right after entering the university still left him feeling very happy.

The buildings were divided into districts according to the different classes, and Xu Xiaolan's villa was right next to An Lin's.

Knowing this, An Lin was secretly happy. As the proverb says, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first 1 .

After all, Xu Xiaolan was kindhearted, passionate and extremely beautiful. Not only that, she didn't mind at all that he was a weakling. Where else would he find such a good companion?

Hmph! I have the God of War System and am destined to become the man who dominates the cultivation world.

Xu Xiaolan, I will prove myself to you and have you regard me in a new light!

An Lin's eyes burned with intensity and a feeling of pride swelled up from the bottom of his heart.

So what if I have a Zeroth Stage Dao Body? Even Xiao Yan 2 could become a Dou God, so why can't I also become an Immortal God?

Thinking of this, the corner of An Lin's mouth curled up into a slight smile, and his face was filled with confidence.

He sat on his bed and opened the God of War System in his mind, beginning his heaven-defying cultivation journey.

The interface for the God of War System was simple—there were three large sections consisting of 'Cultivation Base', 'Cultivation Methods' and 'Moves'.

Oh, there was also a weird section labeled 'Special Missions'.

The 'Cultivation Methods', 'Moves' and 'Special Missions' sections were all gray, with the 'Cultivation Methods' and 'Moves' sections displaying that he had to attain a Seventh Stage Dao Body before being able to access them.

An Lin was a bit annoyed as he cast his eyes towards the 'Cultivation Base' section.

"First Stage Dao Body—Condition: Complete ten pushups."

"My God!" An Lin gaped. There was a look of disbelief etched on his face. "Is this task a free pass?"

An Lin skeptically completed ten pushups on his bed.

Immediately afterwards, his bones started making crackling sounds and he felt an intense pain shoot through his muscles.

It took a fair while for him to stand up. He was breathing coarsely and sweating all over.

"I've… I've become stronger…" An Lin felt that his body did in fact undergo a transformation. He had never felt so full of energy before.

He was also able to sense a spiritual energy, the same spiritual energy which drifted amongst the Heaven and Earth.

"Is this vital energy? It's truly mesmerizing."

An Lin knew that beginning from now, he had officially become a cultivator!

He tried to contain his excitement and continued to look over the God of War System.

"Second Stage Dao Body—Condition: Complete ten plus ten pushups."

"This… has got to be a joke, right?" Even though An Lin said this, he couldn't help but start laughing.

Damn! Judging by this trend, I'll be the top dog of The United University of Cultivation by tomorrow!

An Lin let out a laugh that he thought sounded domineering but was, in fact, vulgar and uncouth.

After finishing the twenty pushups, An Lin was drenched in sweat. He could feel that he had once again become stronger!

He clenched his right fist and abruptly smashed it into a table nearby. The table immediately shattered under his fist.

"Bahahaha, I'm invincible! This isn't called the God of War System for nothing. I f*cking love you!" An Lin laughed loudly.

He continued to look over the system and found that the condition had changed. "Third Stage Dao Body—Condition: Complete ten multiplied by ten pushups."

Hehehe, the difficulty has increased by a little bit.

An Lin was now smiling broadly as he completed the pushups.

He completed one hundred pushups in no time and his Dao Body increased to the Third Stage.

This is indeed a cheat system. If others find out that I can raise my levels like this, they'll surely be driven crazy!

An Lin felt that he could reach the pinnacle of life in no time and he giddily opened the system's interface. Seeing that the condition for reaching the next level was still completing pushups, he almost started jumping with joy.

"Fourth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Complete ten to the power of ten pushups."

Ten to the power of ten pushups?

An Lin was stunned for a good ten seconds.

Let me calculate what ten to the power of ten pushups is equal to…

After a while, he finally figured it out.

Ten to the power of ten is ten billion, which means ten billion pushups.

If I furiously complete one-hundred-thousand pushups every day as if my life depended on it, then it would take me… over two-hundred-and-seventy years to complete…

"This…" An Lin's eyes were blank as he sat dumbfounded on his bed. It appeared as if he had lost all hope.

He opened the God of War System and discovered that apart from the 'Cultivation Base' section, all the other sections were still gray.

So, it means that I can only rank up if I do pushups every day for over two hundred years?

No, more importantly, he wouldn't even be able to live for two-hundred years…

Tears brimmed in An Lin's eyes. What the hell is with this system? Isn't it forcing me into despair?

Just as An Lin was becoming completely disheartened, he suddenly thought of something.

No! I don't have to rely on the system to cultivate, I can cultivate by myself!

An Lin was scared sh*tless by the system just then and only regained his senses now. In fact, every time he ranked up, the system's condition would also change.

Which meant that if he relied on his own ability to rank up now, then the system's condition would also change as well. Perhaps the condition next time would also become much easier!

This is probably how it works, or else what use is the system? An Lin was confident in his thoughts.

However, a new problem arose. How was he supposed to cultivate on his own?

Knock! Knock! Knock!

An Lin felt uneasy as he knocked on the wooden door.

The wooden door opened, and a graceful figure appeared in An Lin's vision.

The long black hair resting on the girl's shoulder was moist and it appeared as if she had just taken a shower.

The instant the door opened, An Lin could faintly smell a sweet fragrance.

"An Lin, what did you come over for?" It was evident that the girl did not expect An Lin to come at this time, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Um… Xu Xiaolan, I'm very sorry to bother you so late at night, but I have some very important matters I need to discuss with you," An Lin chuckled in embarrassment.

"Oh, what is it? Is it a private matter? Do you need to come into my room and tell me secretly?" Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin expectantly with her intelligent eyes. She was obviously very interested in his 'important matters'.

"N-no, I'm fine." An Lin instinctively waved his hands out of reservation and rejected her offer.

However, he regretted it the very next second. Why the hell was he reserved in this type of scenario!? A girl willingly invited him into her room and he actually rejected her offer?

"Ah…" An Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Seeing An Lin suddenly become depressed, Xu Xiaolan was reminded of the aptitude test that morning.

This made her develop a feeling of sympathy towards An Lin. "How about you come in and take your time to explain. If I can, I'll try my best to help!"

"Ah? Sure!" An Lin was just feeling depressed about letting a golden opportunity slip away and didn't expect Xu Xiaolan to give him another chance so soon.

This time he learnt his lesson and after being dumbfounded for a split second, he quickly agreed.

After entering her room, Xu Xiaolan prepared some tea for An Lin.

An Lin didn't know the name of this tea, but just the scent of it was enough to make him feel at ease.

The two of them sat opposite each other at a table and started conversing while drinking the tea.

"Okay, you can tell me about your very important matters now." Xu Xiaolan's pose was elegant as she raised the teacup to her delicate, ruby-lipped mouth and took a small sip.

"Uh-huh." An Lin nodded his head gravely as he looked at Xu Xiaolan.

For some reason, the mood became very tense. This caused Xu Xiaolan to become even more focused.

"I've reached a major obstacle," An Lin said.

Xu Xiaolan nodded her head seriously and gestured for him to continue.

"The problem is… that I don't even know how to cultivate. Can you teach me?"

"Pfff!" Xu Xiaolan spat the tea she had just sipped all over An Lin's face…

Chapter 4: A Class of Prodigies Plus One Loser

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin grudgingly wiped the tea off his face.

After spitting her tea out and seeing the earnest and sincere expression on An Lin's face, Xu Xiaolan finally accepted the reality that he didn't know how to cultivate with great difficulty.

Xu Xiaolan pondered for a moment before pulling out a book from her storage ring. This was a book introducing cultivation through expiration.

"This is the expiration method cultivation book that I studied when I was three years old. Here, I'll gift it to you."

Having said this, Xu Xiaolan generously handed the book introducing cultivation methods over to An Lin.

An Lin: "…"

The night was placid, and the vast sky was full of stars. Yet, there was a single room which remained ablaze with lights.

An Lin flipped through the cultivation method book earnestly and Xu Xiaolan patiently answered all of his questions.

To An Lin, cultivation was a completely new realm and all the theories appeared very unfamiliar to him.

For example, which meridian 1 one would need to channel the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth through when performing expiration, how one should utilize the cultivation methods, what rhythm one should follow when determining the force needed during the guidance of vital energy and so forth…

An Lin listened extremely carefully to Xu Xiaolan's explanations and was also particularly proactive in asking questions, even taking down some notes from time to time.

As for Xu Xiaolan—a prodigy from the Stone Dragon State—teaching An Lin how to cultivate felt no easier than trying to teach an orangutan how to cultivate.

Holy sh*t… He can't even differentiate between the meridians in his body, how did he survive till eighteen?!

He doesn't even know how to channel and transform vital energy?! Even if you haven't eaten pork, you should at least have seen a pig run right?! 2

Xu Xiaolan had a small mental breakdown. She painstakingly explained the foundation knowledge to An Lin and occasionally gestured with her hands.

An Lin was stupefied once, stupefied twice, stupefied god knows how many times…

For the two of them, this was a painful night worthy of commemoration.

After a long, long time, An Lin gratefully left Xu Xiaolan's villa.

Xu Xiaolan thanked the heavens as she saw off this Big Buddha 3 .

In any case, An Lin had reaped massive gains, as he had finally learnt how to cultivate and channel vital energy through expiration.

He impatiently started to meditate and perform expiration once he got back to his room.

During his meditation, he could feel himself slowly becoming stronger. Even though the results weren't evident, it did provide him with a slight sense of hope.

"Ah… as expected. The road of transformation from a weakling to a prodigy is a rugged and bumpy one," An Lin lamented as he meditated in his room.

The next day, An Lin's life as a student at The United University of Cultivation officially began.

The United University of Cultivation was founded by the Heavenly Court and was a university specially used for educating cultivators.

Countless prodigies from the Kingdom of the Nine States converged at this university.

The students that were capable of entering this university were all talented individuals of the cultivation world.

In this university, the strongest and most impressive students were those of Class One. They were the geniuses amongst geniuses.

Many of the future rising stars in the cultivation world came from these 'Class Ones'.

For a large majority of cultivators in the Kingdom of the Nine States, the highest rank they could attain in their entire lifetime was likely that of a Fifth Stage Dao Body.

However, in Class One, the lowest rank was an Eighth Stage Dao Body. Of course, that was excluding An Lin…

To be honest, An Lin felt immense pressure being in the same class as these prodigies.

The buildings in which they attended their classes were constructed from high-grade white jade which had been piled together. All of the buildings were flowing with a rich vital energy.

This allowed the students to improve their cultivation base imperceptibly, even as they were attending lessons in the university buildings.

If it wasn't for a spell formation preventing the students from forcefully absorbing the vital energy of the spirit stones, perhaps the teaching block would collapse the very next day.

An Lin felt uneasy as he entered the classroom.

The 'geniuses' disdain' which he was anticipating did not take place.

Although the prodigies in this class all took a glance at him, most of them looked him up and down with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

An Lin's reputation as the 'most networked backdoor entrant' had already spread throughout the entire campus on the first day of enrollments.

Fortunately, he wasn't the most well-known student of this cohort and was only ranked in third place.

Who were the other two?

He heard from Xu Xiaolan that the other two well-known individuals also had letters of recommendation from a True God.

From the past enrollments of new students at The United University of Cultivation, it could be seen that there often wasn't even a single student who had a True God's letter of recommendation in any given year. Judging from this fact, it could be seen just how difficult it truly was to receive a letter of recommendation from a True God.

Rather than labeling a True God's letter of recommendation as a notice of admittance, it would be better to view it as a document acknowledging the strength of a student.

It was an acknowledgment from the True Gods—unsurpassed in the cultivation world—and was a great honor to be bestowed.

It could be said that all new students who obtained a True God's letter of recommendation were supremely talented individuals.

In this cohort, the two other students who had received a True God's letter of recommendation were the supremely talented individuals that Xu Xiaolan spoke of.

Xuanyuan Cheng was the son of the Sect Leader of the Ten-Thousand Spirit Immortal Sect, which resided in the Wind Plain State. His rank was also that of Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage

Su Qianyun was the princess of the Green Wood Imperial Family, which was located in the Purple Star State. Her rank was also that of Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage and it was rumored that she was a Dao addict.

After ranking up from the Tenth Stage Dao Body, the next rank is the Spirit Nurturing Stage. So, based on this, how difficult is it to reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage? An Lin had heard that most prodigies in Class One couldn't even reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage when they graduated after five years of study.

After reaching the Spirit Nurturing Stage, one could be regarded as a member of the Immortal Ranks of the Heavenly Court and receive the title of 'Young Immortal'.

These two had the ability to enter the Immortal Ranks as soon as they had entered the university. This caused quite a stir throughout The United University of Cultivation.

Like them, An Lin had received a True God's letter of recommendation. For some reason though, he felt very ashamed and wanted to bury himself in a hole…

The students of Class One were obviously more interested in Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun, so they paid little heed to the 'backdoor entrant An Lin', though they didn't taunt or ridicule him either.

An Lin breathed a long sigh of relief at this situation and his entire body relaxed. Having a peaceful society is the most important thing, huh. He sat at the back of the classroom and quietly read the expiration method cultivation book that Xu Xiaolan had gifted him.

Quickly, cries of surprise sounded throughout the room. Even with his eyes closed, An Lin could tell that either Xuanyuan Cheng or Su Qianyun had entered the room.

Sure enough, a girl walked in slowly. She was dressed in a star robe and had jet-black hair that reached her waist. Inside her sky-blue eyes, fantastic colors glimmered.

Upon seeing her appear, An Lin was unable to shift his gaze away.

An Lin felt that it would not do her any justice even if one were to label her as exceedingly beautiful.

Simply put, the title of 'school beauty queen' would undoubtedly be hers from now on!

Faced with the marveling of her classmates, Su Qianyun had a face of indifference. She walked to a corner of the classroom and sat down in repose.

"The heavens are so unfair! It's one thing that she's supremely talented, but why does she also possess such captivating beauty?" Xu Xiaolan muttered as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" An Lin found Xu Xiaolan's expression to be hilarious.

"Go read your book, idiot!" Xu Xiaolan snapped.

It wasn't long before cries of surprise once again sounded in the classroom. The squeals of some female students could even be heard amongst all the commotion.

A male with dashing eyebrows and piercing eyes entered the classroom gracefully, and there was a refreshing smile on his face.

This newcomer was clearly Xuanyuan Cheng, son of the Sect Leader of the Ten-Thousand Spirit Immortal Sect!

He conducted himself very naturally despite this fact, politely smiling and nodding as he greeted the students.

Afterwards, he sat down at a spot that was closest to the front of the classroom.

An Lin also considered himself to be handsome. Yet, under the brilliance of Xuanyuan Cheng, he couldn't help but admit that he was 'slightly inferior'.

This time, it was Xu Xiaolan who couldn't avert her gaze.

Even when Xuanyuan Cheng turned around and sat down, she still gazed at his figure affectionately.

An Lin sighed in grief as he looked at Xuanyuan Cheng. "Ah, this is the type of person I hate the most. They can make a living off both their appearance and their talent. They can even make a living by relying on their parents…"

Chapter 5: Don't Cultivate in Your Dreams

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The first lesson was a spell class taught by Earth Immortal Cang Qing.

On the lectern, Earth Immortal Cang Qing appeared exuberant as he lectured. Whenever he felt content, he would demonstrate a few advanced and exquisite spells.

Below the stage, the students benefited greatly as they listened with keen interest.

Of course, this was except for An Lin…

Listening to Earth Immortal Cang Qing lecture earnestly, An Lin felt as if he were listening to a heavenly book 1 .

It wasn't that he didn't listen earnestly, it was just that he couldn't understand at all!

Taking an example from Earth, what An Lin felt now was something like this: he was sent to the most prestigious university in the country, Hua Qing University, and was listening to a lecturer delightfully talking about advanced mathematics—right after graduating from primary school.

An Lin could understand every single word that Earth Immortal Cang Qing uttered. However, after stringing them into sentences, he had absolutely no idea what they meant!

"As everyone knows, the Dazzling Sunlight Artery connects to the Green Ivy Channel. Performing the Nine Revolution Qi Condensation Spell and drawing vital energy will allow one to attain Heavenly Essence. Not only this, but one can still use the Tranquil Ring Technique and work in harmony according to the concentration of vital energy in the air. Completing this through the Tian Hua Formula will allow us to reduce the spell runtime of the Flame spell…" Earth Immortal Cang Qing spoke in an unhurried manner.

A sense of realization dawned upon the students and they nodded vigorously in agreement.

An Lin: "???"

Being a weakling, An Lin planned on studying madly then using his astonishing intelligence to crush the prodigies. He dreamed of becoming a weakling who could completely turn the tables.

However, reality was cruel. Being an individual with zero foundation knowledge regarding cultivation, he could only sit in class stupefied.

This was despite the fact that the explanations given by Earth Immortal Cang Qing were lively and vivid, and that he explained complicated matters in such simple terms.

In fact, such explanations were only beneficial towards the other students of Class One who already had solid foundation knowledge regarding spells.

For idiots like An Lin who had zero foundation knowledge, Earth Immortal Cang Qing was simply reciting the heavenly books.

Under the strong effects of the 'Cang Qing brand sleeping pill', An Lin, being the underachiever that he was, started to feel increasingly drowsy.

Finally, he fell asleep…

Just like that, An Lin started dreaming.

He dreamed of himself becoming an invincible God of War who was adored by countless female celestials.

Xuanyuan Cheng became his underling and addressed him as 'Big Brother An'.

Furthermore, he had captured the heart of Su Qianyun, who expressed her love for him by gifting him ninety-nine roses every time they met.

However, An Lin was unable to accept her feelings, as he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the world. Thus, he could only cast personal relationships aside.

Would you look at that, aren't the demonic forces starting to intrude the Kingdom of the Nine States again?

The Lord of the demonic realm was extremely powerful, and all the Gods and Immortals of the Heavenly Court were filled with dread the instant they saw him. None of them had the courage to become his opponent.

At this time An Lin, the God of War, stood up.

"Bahahaha, you're the invincible God of War An Lin who they call the fiercest general in the Heavenly Court?" The Demon Lord's voice reverberated like a large temple bell and resonated throughout the heavens.

"Correct, that's me! Accept your death, Demon Lord!" An Lin roared and collided with the Demon Lord. The battle rocked heaven and earth.

"Oh, you're very strong, but why on earth are you sleep talking in my class?" the Demon Lord wailed in grief.

"What are you talking about? I'm protecting this world!" An Lin roared. He didn't know why the Demon Lord was spouting such nonsense.

The Demon Lord was furious and shouted out, "Wake up! Believe me when I say I'll throw you out of the classroom!"

An Lin also became furious. "Stop talking nonsense and eat my fist!"

An Lin threw out a punch yet did not expect for the Demon Lord's fist to be larger and stronger.

The punch left An Lin feeling severe dizziness and harsh pain in his head, also causing him to cry out in pain.

"Ow! It hurts!" An Lin screamed loudly as he awoke.

So, it was just a dream… An Lin was drenched in cold sweat.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty and discovered that all of the other students were looking at him strangely, with a few of them unable to suppress their laughter.

He rubbed the massive bruise on his head and instantly felt anxious.

An Lin raised his head and found a gorgeous lady standing next to him. She held a teaching plan in her hand and glared at him angrily.

"Huh? Wasn't the teacher supposed to be a middle-aged man? Why is it suddenly a beautiful big sister?" An Lin was still giddy and accidentally blurted out his thoughts.

Once these words left his mouth, the class erupted into laughter again.

Next to An Lin, Xu Xiaolan clutched her head and turned her face away. She didn't want the others to think that she was acquainted with him.

"Oh, this little brother is a pretty sweet talker." The lady looked at him with a spurious smile.

An Lin was startled. He only came to his senses at this moment and realized that his tongue had slipped.

An Lin didn't have time to open his mouth and apologize before he once again felt a great force strike his head.

An Lin saw stars while a wave of dizziness washed over him once more. A second lump began to form on his head.

"Remember, if you sleep talk in my class again, I'll throw you out of the classroom straight away!" the gorgeous lady threatened.

A frightening power suddenly appeared around her and enveloped An Lin, causing his body to tremble.

"Teacher, I swear I'll never do that again!" An Lin nodded his head furiously.

This brief disruption quickly died down and the female teacher continued to deliver her lesson. The students also regained their composure quickly and started to listen attentively once more.

"Hey… Hey, Xu Xiaolan, what on earth just happened?" An Lin turned to ask Xu Xiaolan.

If she had the choice at this moment, Xu Xiaolan would try to ignore An Lin.

However, An Lin stared at her with his big, pitiable eyes and she had no alternative but to reply. "Do you know how many lessons you've slept through?"

"Two?" An Lin was unsure.

The lecturer had changed from a middle-aged man to the beautiful lady currently standing on the lectern. Presumably, he had only slept through two lessons.

"No… You've slept for almost four lessons, this is already the last lesson!" Xu Xiaolan scolded.

"Oh my God!" An Lin gasped.

I actually slept through the entire morning? How am I able to sleep so much?

An Lin suspected that this was because he was too tired from meditating and performing expiration last night.

"If you slept quietly, it would have been fine and the teacher would have simply ignored you," Xu Xiaolan whispered, "however, you started to sleep talk unexpectedly in class and in a fairly loud voice at that. Anyhow, most of the students heard your delightful speech." Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin pitifully.

An Lin had a bad feeling. "What exactly did I say?"

Xu Xiaolan held her cheeks in her hands and chuckled as if recalling something.

After chuckling for a moment, she started to imitate An Lin and the teacher's tone.

"Demon Lord, accept your death!"

"Who is this student? He actually has the guts to sleep talk during class."

"What are you talking about? I'm protecting this world!"

"Wake up! If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to throw you out of this classroom!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Eat my fist!"

…

"That's how everything unfolded. After this classic encounter, you were hit."

Xu Xiaolan squinted her eyes and creased her brows as she looked at the two big lumps on An Lin's head. She forcefully suppressed her laughter in order to not hurt his feelings too much.

An Lin finally realized just how pitiable he was. He sat dazed on his chair and felt like crying.

He felt that describing himself as 'having lost all standing and reputation' was extremely appropriate.

How awkward of a situation was sleep talking in front of the entire class?

Forget about sleep talking, the most critical point was that he had spouted such delusional comments!

Ah… He had embarrassed himself immensely…

An Lin was extremely shaken. He covered his face and wished that he could find a hole to bury himself in.

Chapter 6: An Indeclinable Declaration of Battle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The classes in the afternoon still made An Lin feel drowsy. However, after experiencing the events of that morning, he didn't dare fall asleep in class anymore.

To An Lin, the only interesting event that afternoon was the class captain election.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, who was also the coordinator for their year level, oversaw this election. He was refreshingly handsome and instantly attracted numerous fangirls in the class.

The class captain election was based on a democratic voting system, where candidates could make a speech and try to pull votes.

Xuanyuan Cheng's election speech could be labeled as crude and simple. He had only one thing to say:

"All of you are the cream of the crop amongst our new cohort. Thus, our class captain must also be the strongest person in this cohort, as only they deserve such a position!"

One had to admit that this kind of speech, where Xuanyuan Cheng not only complimented his classmates but also praised himself, was very effective.

Finally, due to the fact that Su Qianyun didn't contend, in addition to some other competition, Xuanyuan Cheng became the class captain with a clear majority of the votes.

After school, this newly appointed class captain came to An Lin's side.

He's going to strike so soon? An Lin startled.

A new broom sweeps clean 1 . Presumably, Xuanyuan Cheng was finally starting to implement changes. Faced with an unusual student such as himself, Xuanyuan Cheng was probably going to target him first.

"This class… doesn't welcome trash," Xuanyuan Cheng said flatly.

Just as I expected…

Hearing this, An Lin barely had time to flare up in rage when his anger was extinguished by Xuanyuan Cheng's next sentence.

"So, Student An Lin, you must study hard!

"If you have any problems regarding cultivation, you can come and talk to me. Being your class captain, I will definitely try my best to help you!"

Before walking away, Xuanyuan Cheng smiled pleasantly at An Lin and patted his shoulder in encouragement.

An Lin could barely recover from his daze as he watched Xuanyuan Cheng's disappearing figure.

As it turned out, he had met a caring class captain!

…

That night, An Lin continued to meditate and cultivate.

He could feel that his cultivation base was slowly increasing little by little.

However, since he had no point of reference, An Lin wasn't sure what to make of his cultivation speed.

Ah… I hope I can quickly break through to the Fourth Stage Dao Body with my own efforts.

An Lin knew that one could not be too impatient when cultivating, as the more impatient one became, the more undesirable the outcomes of ranking up.

The next day, An Lin, who just wanted to cultivate peacefully, was faced with another dilemma.

A student from another class had handed An Lin a letter.

On the envelope, two large words stood out: Battle Declaration!

Seeing these two words, An Lin's heart jumped.

What kind of joke is this? Who have I offended enough for them to send me a declaration of battle?

An Lin anxiously opened the envelope and read through the letter:

"I have heard that fellow cultivator An Lin has received a True God's letter of recommendation and has an exceptional cultivation base."

"I am Class One-hundred's class captain Liu Dabao and am hereby boldly challenging fellow cultivator An Lin to a battle after school. The location is in front of the flower bed at the teaching block…"

The top half of the letter still appeared normal, yet the tone suddenly changed in the latter half:

"Whoever fails to turn up to this battle is a coward without a weenie!"

"I have already informed my entire class of this battle and numerous students will turn up to spectate. I suppose you won't fail to keep our appointment, right?"

"After school, be there or be square!"

"Preposterous!" An Lin almost started swearing when he read to the end.

How could An Lin not know of Liu Dabao's plans? If he could defeat a student of Class One right after becoming class captain of Class One-hundred, how impressive would that be!

Apart from An Lin, any other person in Class One could savage Liu Dabao with a single finger.

An Lin was different. His cultivation base was weak, yet he was a focal point amongst the new students.

Thus, Liu Dabao wittingly picked An Lin as his opponent.

In such a way, not only would he be able to grow his reputation, he would also be able to easily handle the battle at the same time…

By profusely praising how strong and impressive An Lin was in his letter, it would make him appear all the more powerful when he defeated An Lin.

The most detestable thing was that he had spread news of this battle to all the classes.

Once a big crowd had gathered, it would be a disgrace if An Lin didn't show his face.

However, if An Lin went and was defeated in front of everyone, that would also be a disgraceful thing.

This is so infuriating! In order to become famous, people really do go to all sorts of lengths.

Although he hadn't met Liu Dabao before, An Lin had already cursed all of his ancestors.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so infuriated?" Xu Xiaolan asked curiously upon seeing the anger on An Lin's face.

"Let me ask you, are you familiar with Liu Dabao, Class One-hundred's class captain?" An Lin asked seriously.

"Oh, the class captain of the gilt-seeking 2 class? How would I know that kind of trash." Xu Xiaolan didn't realize that her words had already hurt An Lin profoundly.

An Lin held in his grief and puzzled, "Why is Class One-hundred called the gilt-seeking class?"

"It's as the name suggests. The students of that class come to The United University of Cultivation looking to acquire gilt.

"Although this university houses most of the prodigies of the Kingdom of the Nine States, there are still some trash who enter through the back door.

"Their aim of coming here is simply to receive a graduation certificate and use it to brag in front of others about being a brilliant student," Xu Xiaolan said dismissively.

Hearing this, a feeling of hope ignited in An Lin's heart. "Then what stage cultivation base does their class captain usually have?"

"That's hard to say. The class captain of the gilt-seeking class probably isn't elected based on their cultivation base. Most likely it's elected according to who has the more powerful backstage support.

"I guess his cultivation base should be around Second to Fourth Stage Dao Body. Our university probably doesn't accept people who can't cultivate at all," Xu Xiaolan answered.

An Lin winced. So, this was a battle between the most networked backdoor entrant of The United University of Cultivation and the most networked backdoor entrant of Class One-hundred?

"Anyhow, why are you asking about this?" Xu Xiaolan asked curiously.

After gaining a vague idea about Liu Dabao's cultivation base, a raging battle intent burned from the bottom of An Lin's heart.

"Xu Xiaolan, don't leave after school finishes. Watch how I trample upon Class One-hundred's class captain!"

…

Time flew by quickly and it was finally time for An Lin to prove himself.

Two people stood in the empty space next to the flower bed located in front of the school building.

Hundreds of students were gathered in the surroundings. They had all come from different classes and were here to spectate the battle out of curiosity after receiving a notice from Liu Dabao.

There were even some students from Class One gathered here, although they were not here to cheer for An Lin. They were simply bored out of their minds and came here to join the fun.

The protagonists of this battle consisted of the 'most networked backdoor entrant' An Lin, one of the three most famous students in the new cohort, and Class One-hundred's class captain Liu Dabao.

An Lin stood with his hands behind his back as he faced Liu Dabao.

An Lin's handsome features, accompanied with his white robe, made him appear graceful and brilliant.

"He's An Lin? Ah! He doesn't look as weak as the rumors say," a girl remarked quietly.

Seeing An Lin's appearance, her face had already blushed red.

A male nodded in agreement. "From his temperament, he indeed doesn't look like a weakling."

In comparison to An Lin, Liu Dabao appeared much more average. However, he still had the demeanor of a powerful individual at this moment, and a solemn expression was etched on his slightly plump face.

"So, you came," Liu Dabao said coldly.

"Uh-huh, I've come," An Lin nodded. His white robe fluttered even though there was no wind.

"Then let us begin this great battle which has captured the attention of countless people," Liu Dabao said calmly.

"Sure," An Lin smiled indifferently.

Just like that, the great battle erupted.

Everyone who attended witnessed a battle which was forever etched in their memories…

Chapter 7: Weakest of Class One VS Strongest of Class One-Hundred

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Both An Lin and Liu Dabao started to attack at the same time.

They moved like the wind and quickly collided together.

The battle instantly reached its climax, as the two of them used all their strength right from the beginning.

Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…

After a burst of intense fighting, the two of them panted heavily as they separated, and they eyed each other off tensely.

"Not bad!"

"Heh… you're not too bad yourself!"

"Then let us continue!"

"Sure!"

And thus, the two of them collided together again and started tussling with each other…

Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…

Hundreds of prodigies from all over the Kingdom of the Nine States were dumbstruck as they looked on at the fist-fight between the two people. For a long time, they couldn't recover from their shock.

"My god! What crime have I committed? Why am I made to watch this?" some of the new students wailed in despair.

"Is this really up to par with the standards of Class One?"

"So, all the rumors regarding An Lin really were true. He really is the most networked backdoor entrant…"

Tears brimmed in the eyes of a cute girl as she witnessed the handsome An Lin perform such vulgar actions. She felt as if her dreams had been shattered.

Xu Xiaolan was overcome with regret. Looking at the battling An Lin, she felt as if both of her eyes had been blinded. She couldn't help but mutter, "I must've gone mad agreeing to come here to cheer for you."

The reactions of the surrounding spectators were also becoming more and more intense and Xu Xiaolan was glad that she didn't shout out that comment.

She wiped away the cold sweat which had formed on her forehead and glanced at An Lin, who had now descended into a difficult battle. "I'm sorry, I really don't have the courage to shout 'Go An Lin!' in front of everyone," Xu Xiaolan muttered quietly.

Just as An Lin and Liu Dabao were engaged in an intense exchange, Xu Xiaolan caught a glimpse of her Prince Charming.

Xuanyuan Cheng! Who would have thought that even he would come to spectate this battle? Xu Xiaolan was overjoyed.

Just as she thought about going over to greet him, she saw Xuanyuan Cheng pinching his eyebrows and walking away.

Xuanyuan Cheng's expression was as if his eyes had been tarnished. Seeing this, Xu Xiaolan stopped in her tracks and looked sympathetically at Xuanyuan Cheng. Whatever. Let him calm himself down first.

An Lin and Liu Dabao separated from each other once again, with both now carrying injuries.

An Lin's handsome face had already been bruised and Liu Dabao was sporting two black eyes.

"Your strength has exceeded my expectations. No wonder you're worthy of being one of the three focal points in our new cohort.

"You should be proud of the fact that you're able to press me so hard. Now, I'm going to use my most frightening move!"

Liu Dabao had an angry look on his face after being pushed to such extent and he howled at An Lin.

For some reason, the discussion amongst the spectators gradually died down when they heard this. Clearly, they had an inkling of expectation towards Liu Dabao's so-called most frightening move.

A feeling of apprehension rose from the bottom of An Lin's heart. He didn't expect for Liu Dabao to have a move up his sleeves and was thus extremely cautious.

"Immortal Spell—Suction Palm!" Liu Dabao cried as a white light burst forth from both of his hands.

An Lin suddenly felt a suction force and immediately started flying towards Liu Dabao involuntarily.

"It's an immortal spell!" An Lin exclaimed as he turned pale with fright.

This was the first time he had experienced the might of an immortal spell first-hand and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart.

This is what a battle between cultivators should be like!

Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Dabao couldn't use his hands, once An Lin flew close to Liu Dabao, he threw a punch towards Liu Dabao's face with all his might.

Smack!

Liu Dabao was completely unprepared, and a tooth flew towards the sky as An Lin's fist connected with his face.

Liu Dabao collapsed onto the floor. He spat out a mouthful of blood and there was a startled look on his face.

"What frightening reaction! As expected, you're a formidable opponent!

"However, the stronger you are, the more excited I become, because that is the only way this can be called a true battle!"

After making these proud remarks, Liu Dabao once again started grappling with An Lin.

Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…

The spectators were dumbstruck and fell into an eerie silence.

…

"I want to rush up and beat them both up," a new student said expressionlessly.

"Count me in, I can't contain myself either," another student echoed this sentiment and drew a sword from their waist.

"I've really gone crazy. In order to watch their battle, I actually relinquished the chance of getting the first come first serve strawberry dessert from the school canteen! If you guys go, then I'll also follow," a girl said fiercely with her daggers drawn.

"Plus one."

"Plus one."

"Plus one…"

Just like this, hundreds of new students were seething with murderous intent as they drew their weapons.

Xu Xiaolan smiled wryly as she stepped backwards quietly. She silently prayed for An Lin in her mind. An Lin, please don't be beaten to death, it's probably enough for them to beat you until you become a teeny bit crippled…

An Lin and Liu Dabao were still engaged in intense battle and completely unaware that their lives were already in danger…

"Calm down everyone, I've already reported them!" said a male student who was filled with anger and disgust.

The others all thought he was joking. They ignored him and prepared to make their move.

Soon after though, three males standing atop flying swords and dressed in blue robes descended from the sky. They landed in the battlefield of An Lin and Liu Dabao.

A celestial sword landed near the two tussling figures and immediately released a burst of wind which possessed frightening pressure, directly blowing the grappling An Lin and Liu Dabao away from each other.

The two figures who were engaged in an intense battle stopped in surprise at this sudden interference.

At this moment, the male in charge flashed a blue badge and addressed An Lin and Liu Dabao. "We are members of the university enforcement team. The two of you engaged in a private scuffle without permission and such circumstances are extremely abominable.

"According to relevant rules listed in the regulations of The United University of Cultivation, you two are now under arrest and will be detained in the university detention facility for three days!"

An Lin's expression faltered, and he looked at Liu Dabao with uncertainty.

What's going on? The battle between the two of us was against university rules?

Liu Dabao ignored An Lin and instead put on an expression as if he were about to die a martyr's death. "I have no regret fighting for the glory of Class One-hundred," he laughed loudly. "It's a pity the two of us weren't able to determine the victor." Liu Dabao glanced at An Lin regretfully.

Sh*t, I've been played! An Lin howled in his mind as for the first time, he learnt that the university had such a policy.

He had only been at the university for a few days and had already received a three-day detention.

Why? Why did it end like this?

An Lin and Liu Dabao put up no resistance as they were handcuffed and taken away by the three members of the enforcement team.

When they left, the applause of hundreds of students sounded behind them.

The applause was extremely warm and didn't subside for a long time. Some people even had tears in their eyes.

"Do you hear their applause? We've proven ourselves through this duel," Liu Dabao said to An Lin.

The battle intent had already left Liu Dabao's eyes and he looked at An Lin with a soft gaze. On his face, there was an expression of appreciation towards a fellow hero.

A faint smile grew on An Lin's face as he finally came to this realization. "You're right, being detained for three days in exchange for receiving their recognition is indeed a cheap price to pay."

Hundreds of students sighed deeply with emotion. They had witnessed a battle with no parallel, one that would leave a thick and colorful imprint on their lives.

"Thank god the enforcement team came, or else I really would have lashed out."

"They successfully stopped a frightening battle."

"The efficiency of the university enforcement team is very high, I approve!"

The two poor individuals… they had no idea that the warm applause from the hundreds of students was for the enforcement team which had arrived in a timely manner…

Chapter 8: The Three Musketeers and a Dog

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin and Liu Dabao were detained in the university's detention facility which was dim and oppressive. The room was damp and completely bare—that's correct, there weren't even any beds!

An Lin was bewildered. Why are the conditions of the detention facility worse than those of prisons?

Whenever he recalled the fact that he would have to sleep on such a stiff floor for three days, tears involuntarily trickled down his cheeks.

The only thing one could see in the detention room was walls. On these walls, there was a large black word—Repent!

An Lin and Liu Dabao were locked in the same detention room.

Inside, they also found another male along with a white dog.

Like An Lin and Liu Dabao, the male was also badly battered.

Ah! Even the dog had injuries all over and appeared as if it had been badly beaten.

"Brother, did you get into a fight with this dog?" An Lin asked in surprise as he looked at the male.

"You jest. Da Bai and I were wounded while chasing a lofty ambition," the male who appeared more severely wounded than An Lin and Liu Dabao replied disdainfully.

The male glanced at An Lin and Liu Dabao and came to a realization. "You two were locked up here for fighting?"

Liu Dabao and An Lin nodded then glanced at each other. Seeing the pitiful appearance of one another, a content expression appeared on both their faces.

"Good-for-nothings," the male chuckled.

The white dog next to him also barked, as if in agreement.

Hearing this, Liu Dabao instantly became unhappy and retorted, "You say you got injured chasing a lofty ambition. So why are you also locked up here?"

"It's a long story…" The male had a look of reminiscence.

An Lin shuffled towards the male and spoke with a face of curiosity, "No worries, no worries. We have heaps of time. You can take your time and tell us exactly how you got injured. Tell your tale so we can all enjoy ourselves."

The male glanced at An Lin and continued, "Do you guys know of the Moon Pond at our university?"

Moon Pond? An Lin had only been at the university for a short time and was very unfamiliar with the place.

"I know! The Moon Pond is a large scale natural hot spring at our university. The vital energy of the spring water is extremely rich and has the effects of nourishing one's skin and cultivating the mind!

"It's a shame that the university rules only appear to allow females there though. Why are you bringing this up?" Liu Dabao was puzzled.

An Lin's eyes sparkled as he grinned. "Don't tell me you…"

The male student was smiling faintly as he nodded. He recalled with emotion, "Before the bright moon beads of water leapt, atop the water the vast sky was mirrored; Washed with tranquility were those naked in the water, damp with moisture their brilliant hair became 1 ."

Realization finally dawned upon Liu Dabao at this moment. "Stop reciting poems and talk sensibly! Give us the details!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"No problem! No problem! Please listen to me carefully explain it," the male said unhurriedly.

"As they say, the scenery is most beautiful when females are soaking in the bath. When there is a group of females soaking in the bath, the scenery becomes so dazzling that one cannot take it all in.

"Think about it. Inside the Moon Pond where the white vapor lingers about; that jade-like skin, that silvery laugh as they play boisterously, those little kittens which undulate with the spring water…"

An Lin and Liu Dabao both gulped and started to let their imaginations run wild. The atmosphere started to become delicate.

"But I've heard that there are patrols all around the Moon Pond. If one wants to catch a glimpse of such paradise, it really is as difficult as ascending the heavens," Liu Dabao said regretfully.

"Although the university enforcement team's patrol is very able, they can't stop me," the male snorted coldly.

"Oh? What clever trick does Your Excellency have?" An Lin asked modestly.

The male looked proudly at the white dog next to him and grinned. "That would have to be my capable helper—Da Bai 2 ."

Da Bai 'woofed' once and raised his head proudly as he wagged his tail.

"There is a type of gem called the Ice Water Mirror Stone. It acts like a mirror and can store what it sees in a dynamic manner! I made a necklace from this gem and placed it around Da Bai's neck. Then, I let him wander into the Moon Pond!"

An Lin was startled. Weren't the attributes of this Ice Water Mirror Stone just like a camera?

"Excellent! That's truly ingenious! Presumably, the girls wouldn't feel the need to keep their guards up around a dog. As a result, one can be at ease when recording." An Lin was full of praise.

Liu Dabao was now also looking at the male with an expression of worship. "Dare I ask older brother, do the 'resources' still exist?" he asked respectfully and excitedly.

The male sighed and there was a look of regret on his face. "I was just about to succeed but did not expect to be detected by the supremely talented Su Qianyun of our cohort."

"Su Qianyun? That girl who was labeled as the number one goddess of The United University of Cultivation right after she enrolled?" Liu Dabao exclaimed.

"Yes, it was her. At the time, she was also in the hot spring," the male smiled bitterly. "Hell knows how she was able to realize that there was an issue with Da Bai. Not only did she discover the Ice Water Mirror Stone on Da Bai's neck, she was even able to track my location through the presence on the gemstone…"

"So, you and Da Bai became like this afterwards?" An Lin looked sympathetically at the male in front of him who had been beaten beyond human figure, as well as at the dog in front of him which had been beaten beyond dog figure.

Liu Dabao didn't have much sympathy, rather expressing enviously, "Dying by the hands of a peony, one should be merry even as a ghost. Being beaten by a goddess is pretty good too, no?"

The male rolled his eyes at Liu Dabao. "It would have been fine if I was only beaten by Su Qianyun. However, you go try what it feels like to be beaten by dozens of vixens. I'm sure that you wouldn't feel any joy at all…

"To tell you the truth, I was beaten to the point where I started wondering if I still had the ability to reproduce…

"However…

"I don't regret it. I still haven't achieved my lofty ambition. I'll definitely be back!" the male said firmly.

Hearing this, both An Lin and Liu Dabao's bodies trembled and they were filled with a deep sense of respect.

What more, An Lin held his hands in salute and asked, "Your Excellency's courage and intelligence has filled me with admiration. Dare I ask for Your Excellency's name?"

"Class Twenty-five, Zhao Huaiyin," the male replied earnestly.

"Class One, An Lin." An Lin also introduced himself.

"Class One-hundred, Liu Dabao!" Liu Dabao said excitedly.

"Woof! Woof!" Da Bai barked.

After the three people and one dog introduced themselves, they all glanced at each other and smiled, feeling as if they were sworn brothers.

"So, you're our university's 'most networked backdoor entrant' An Lin. I've heard about you for a long time!" Zhao Huaiyin exclaimed in surprise. He then looked towards Liu Dabao. "So, you're Liu Dabao, the son of Celestial Immortal Yu Ding. I've also heard about you since a long time ago, pleased to meet you!"

"No, Big Brother Yin, it is my honor to meet you. Please kindly give me your advice in the future!" Liu Dabao saluted Zhao Huaiyin, a look of worship in his eyes.

This time it was An Lin's turn to feel shocked, as he learnt that Liu Dabao was in fact the son of a Celestial Immortal. An Lin now already had a basic understanding regarding the cultivation ranks.

Those in the Spirit Nurturing Stage were deemed as Young Immortals and were considered a member of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Ranks.

Those one stage above them were in the Soul Formation Stage and deemed as Earth Immortals.

Only after that could one reach the Return to Void Stage and be deemed a Celestial Immortal.

In the Heavenly Court, Celestial Immortals had a lofty status.

It could be said that apart from the True Gods, the strongest members of the Heavenly Court were the Celestial Immortals.

What astonished An Lin the most was the fact that Celestial Immortal Yu Ding had a son like Liu Dabao, someone who was almost defeated by him.

This caused An Lin to fall silent. Was Liu Dabao really the biological child of Celestial Immortal Yu Ding?

Just like this, the three people and one dog introduced themselves and started conversing without any barriers between them.

Laughter occasionally arose in the detention room and there was a joyous and harmonious atmosphere.

Chapter 9: There Is Springtime Even for Losers

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After three days, An Lin and Liu Dabao were finally released from the darkness of the detention facility.

Due to the more abominable crime of peeping on bathing girls, Zhao Huaiyin and Da Bai had a detention of four days longer than An Lin.

To this fact, An Lin and Liu Dabao expressed their regret.

They reluctantly parted ways with the two brave warriors in the detention room and returned to their normal university cultivation life.

An Lin looked towards the schoolground which was luxuriant and bathed in sunlight. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew over and brought with it the faint fragrance of flowers. Everything appeared to be splendid and mesmerizing.

His mind was at ease as he greedily sucked in the fresh air.

"This is freedom!" An Lin let out a sigh filled with emotion.

"Yeah, I almost feel as if I've been reborn!" Liu Dabao also sighed emotionally.

"An Lin, I need to check up on my class first.

"Being detained for three days right after becoming the class captain, I've got quite some explaining to do," Liu Dabao chuckled.

"Sure thing. Take care!" An Lin nodded.

"Yeah, you too!" Liu Dabao patted An Lin's shoulder before he left.

Three days of living together made An Lin realize that Liu Dabao wasn't in fact a detestable person.

That said, there were still times when he didn't consider the consequences of his actions, such as with his battle declaration.

He was an open-minded and sincere person, and once he and An Lin had become familiar, he was very open and straightforward.

Just like this, an 'out of blows friendship grows' scenario took place between An Lin and Liu Dabao.

As Liu Dabao disappeared into the distance, the surroundings once again fell into a state of tranquility.

An Lin looked into the distance and found that the evening sun was just about to descend into the clouds. The school grounds appeared all the more golden as light from the golden clouds drifting above scattered down.

The occasional cry of white cranes flying amongst the clouds was also vaguely discernible.

An Lin was in a trance as he and stood atop a hill located in the school grounds and looked towards the distant scenery.

Akin to an ancient scene, his body was covered in a faint yellow glow as the last rays of the setting sun beamed upon his body.

"Mhm, it's getting late. Today's classes are probably about to finish anyway. I'll go back to class tomorrow," An Lin sighed after finally coming back to his senses.

The United University of Cultivation was built upon a continent floating far up in the sky. Whenever school finished, he would witness a beautiful and colorful scenery as the sun descended into the clouds.

He had heard that on some special occasions, one could witness from within school grounds the marvelous spectacle of the seven-colored clouds spanning tens of thousands of meters across the sky.

However, An Lin had only been at the university for a short while and thus hadn't had the fortune of witnessing such a marveling scene.

Regardless, even the scenery during a typical dusk was incredible. Every time he witnessed it, he would feel absolutely stunned.

…

Once he arrived back at his place, An Lin immediately started to meditate and cultivate.

He never slacked off when it came to cultivation.

He didn't know when he would be able to break through to the Fourth Stage Dao Body. It could be tomorrow, or it could be in ten years. Perhaps he might never even make it to the Fourth Stage Dao Body.

Even though the path ahead was shrouded in the unknown and An Lin was unable to determine how far he could reach, the thought of giving up never occurred to him. Because, wasn't this world magnificent?

He wanted to witness more things that common people couldn't witness; he wanted to meet more interesting people; he wanted to truly set foot upon the path of cultivation. Thus, even if he only had a ten-thousandth of a chance to succeed, An Lin would try his hardest to achieve his aims.

That night, for some reason unbeknown to him, An Lin felt as if his cultivation base was building up quicker than ever before.

The next morning, An Lin knocked on Xu Xiaolan's door.

"An Lin, you've finally been released!" Xu Xiaolan's sleepy eyes lit up as she opened the door and realized that it was An Lin standing outside.

An Lin was the first friend Xu Xiaolan had made after entering The United University of Cultivation and was also the person she got along with best.

She felt really unaccustomed during the days when An Lin was locked up.

"Let's go to class," chuckled An Lin in greeting.

"Hang on a second, let me change first." Xu Xiaolan didn't wait for An Lin's reply before slamming the door shut.

An Lin was dumbfounded when Xu Xiaolan reappeared, and he stared at her stupidly.

"W-where did that princess dress come from?" An Lin was so surprised that he started to stutter.

Xu Xiaolan gracefully walked out in a white gauze dress.

Below her beautiful, soft, swan-like neck was her pale collarbone. The white dress-girdle further highlighted her thin and dainty waist.

The hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, and she looked like an other-worldly fairy who had just descended from the highest heavens and was drifting amongst the clouds.

Xu Xiaolan was extremely beautiful naturally, and with her dress on, she looked like a princess who had just wandered out of a painting. Her appearance was mesmerizing.

However, what An Lin was most surprised about now was not her beauty, but rather the fact that her style of clothing was evidently different from before.

This princess dress was clearly something unique to Earth!

Why would such an item of clothing appear in the Immortal cultivation realm? It was way too odd!

"What's wrong? Isn't this dress from your native planet, Earth? Do you really need to be so surprised?" Xu Xiaolan was puzzled as she saw the look of disbelief on An Lin's face. His mouth hung open so wide that an apple could definitely fit inside.

"My native planet…" An Lin stared at Xu Xiaolan and gasped in surprise, "You know about Earth?!"

An Lin had always thought that the world he had teleported to existed in an independent realm.

To his knowledge, the Heavenly Court only had jurisdiction over those in the Nine States and shouldn't have had any concept regarding Earth.

He had never revealed to anyone that he had come from Earth either.

He never would have imagined the name 'Earth' leaving Xu Xiaolan's mouth so calmly. This instantly created waves in his mind.

"Oi… Oi! What madness are you going through again?" Xu Xiaolan had her hands on her hips and appeared a bit annoyed. "Earth is just a mortal world under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Why would I not know about it?"

An Lin tried his best to calm his raging emotions. After digesting Xu Xiaolan's words and processing the thoughts in his mind, he slowly opened his mouth, "Then why do the people on Earth not know of the Heavenly Court's existence?"

"Oh, that's because we exist in a different space. When we go down to the mortal world, we need to use a space teleportation gate."

"Ah! So that's how it is. Then how did you find out that I'm from Earth?"

"Our mortal studies teacher Earth Immortal Yue Ying told us!

"She's in charge of teaching us knowledge and cultures relating to the mortal world. I'm also wearing this dress as she required us to do so for her class today.

"Speaking of which, does this dress look good on me?"

Xu Xiaolan smiled daintily at An Lin and even swayed her dress.

"I've never seen anyone look so beautiful wearing a princess dress," An Lin answered honestly as he came to his senses and looked at the girl in front of him.

Xu Xiaolan was extremely satisfied with An Lin's response and the smile on her face grew larger. After all, there wasn't any girl that would be displeased when others complimented their beauty.

"Oh, that's right, there's something else I need to tell you. I didn't have the chance to tell you since you were being detained."

It appeared as though something had occurred to Xu Xiaolan and she smiled and clapped her hands together.

"What?" An Lin asked curiously.

"Yesterday, Earth Immortal Yue Ying appointed you as the subject representative for our class!" Xu Xiaolan grinned.

"Subject representative…" An Lin was initially surprised upon hearing this. Once he recovered, he raised his head to a forty-five-degree angle and stared dazedly at the sky.

The blue sky was clear, and the blazing sun was radiant…

Everything appeared to be so glorious. Have I finally been given a new lease on life?

Chapter 10: An Lin's Fortune in Love

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin entered the classroom doors and found himself a seat at the back of the room.

He seemed to have a feeling that the students' interest in him had increased quite a bit.

Some students even started to quietly converse amongst one another when they saw him arrive.

Although An Lin didn't know what they were saying, he was pretty sure that they weren't complimenting him.

One after another, numerous events over the recent days were somehow related to An Lin. Let alone the discussions amongst other students, even An Lin couldn't help but feel like ridiculing himself.

The core focus today was mortal studies. In order to reflect this, all of the students in the class were dressed based on varying fashion trends from Earth.

Jeans, singlets, t-shirts, dresses… The more exaggerated styles of outfits included suits and even cheongsam. The scene was extremely weird, and the hodgepodge of styles totally made it seem like a clothing exhibition.

Just a word of mention, the talented individual dressed in a suit was none other than their class captain, Xuanyuan Cheng.

He was impeccably attired, wearing a blue tie and even sporting a pair of sunglasses.

He appeared dashing and looked just like 007.

However, can you imagine someone attired in such a manner sitting upright at the front of the class with their hands resting evenly on the table and listening earnestly to the teacher?

An Lin tried his best to contain his laughter.

Not long after, their teacher Earth Immortal Yue Ying walked into the classroom.

She wore a light-yellow checkered blouse, accompanied by a pair of red-framed glasses. She appeared both intellectual and beautiful.

Not only that, she was tall and slender, with her slightly curly hair reaching her waist and black silk leggings covering her well-proportioned legs. She not only looked fashionable but also awfully sexy.

She was full of vigor as she walked into the classroom. However, once she saw 007 Xuanyuan Cheng sitting in the front row with a serious expression on his face, she couldn't help but chuckle.

The students looked at Earth Immortal Yue Ying strangely, not knowing why she suddenly started to laugh.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying awkwardly averted her gaze and started to deliver the lesson as if nothing had happened.

The reason that The United University of Cultivation offered a mortal studies subject was in order to allow the students to better understand and integrate when they descended into the mortal world on missions for the Heavenly Court.

The specific content of the mortal studies subject included: the cultures of different nations, the distribution of power, physical geography and the two compulsory languages, Chinese and English.

Compared to the other classes which were incomprehensible to him, An Lin finally felt a sense of superiority in this class, as if he could crush all the others with his knowledge.

It was regretful though, that as with all the other classes, this class brought about the same side effects.

All the content that Earth Immortal Yue Ying discussed was the basic of the basics, for example: Earth has seven continents, China is in Asia and so forth.

An Lin had absolutely no idea what value this class had to him, so he began to feel drowsy again…

This mortal studies class went for the entire day and An Lin had no idea how he endured through it.

Finally, the class ended with a final statement from Earth Immortal Yue Ying. "Student An Lin is the subject representative for this class. If anyone has any problems, they can go and speak to him, okay?"

Although she said this, An Lin knew that this group of prodigies was a conceited bunch.

Rather than modestly asking someone weaker than them for help, presumably they would prefer to rely on their own efforts.

Sure enough, no one came to ask him any questions after class had ended.

An Lin sighed softly and was about to stand up.

"Um, Student An Lin, may I ask if you're free?"

A soft and gentle voice sounded next to his ears.

An Lin looked towards the source of the sound and his mind instantly went blank. He stared dazedly at the girl who appeared in front of him.

The dreamy, bright blue eyes of the girl were downcast, and she looked apologetically at An Lin.

An Lin never had the chance to look at her so closely before, and he suddenly felt as if his heart had stopped beating.

"I-I'm free. May I please ask what brings Student Su Qianyun here?"

After a while, An Lin was finally able to stammer a sentence out in fear and trepidation.

Being the goddess-like school beauty queen who had trampled over all the other school beauties right after she entered the school, An Lin had absolutely no idea why she would seek him out.

"Then is it fine if you take some time to teach me how to speak Chinese and English? I've never really had any talent in languages.

"Don't worry, I won't take up much of your time!" Su Qianyun added quickly as if she were afraid that An Lin would reject her request.

This… happiness has come way too suddenly!

An Lin's heart was probably now beating two or three times faster than normal and he almost had a heart attack.

Persevere! An Lin! You can do it! If you let slip this opportunity which comes around once in a blue moon, then you are destined to be single for life!

An Lin's heart was racing, and he knew that he had to keep his cool in this type of scenario.

"No worries! After all, I'm the subject representative. Helping students in need is my responsibility as well as my honor.

"Please sit down, I'll teach you slowly."

An Lin answered Su Qianyun with a smile that was as warm as the spring sunshine.

Su Qianyun nodded and sat down next to An Lin. "Sorry for the bother," she said gratefully.

As Su Qianyun sat down, a faint orchid-like fragrance wafted into An Lin's nose.

Although he was extremely nervous, he still tried his best to appear calm and collected.

"So, Student Su Qianyun, what level is your Chinese and English currently at?" An Lin asked earnestly, his voice gentle.

Su Qianyun's lips were pressed together lightly and she appeared a little aggrieved. "I don't like speaking usually, and languages aren't really to my liking either. As for Chinese and English, I haven't even learnt enunciations yet. M-hm, to be more precise, I haven't even learnt how to pronounce a single syllable yet…"

An Lin's heart almost melted as he listened to Su Qianyun's soft and mellow voice.

He always thought that someone who appeared as aloof as Su Qianyun would have a cold voice, so he didn't expect her voice to be so soft and adorable.

Speaking of which, to the best of his knowledge, this was the first time Su Qianyun had spoken…

Usually, Su Qianyun always had the aura of an icy beauty when she appeared on the school grounds, and she barely interacted with others.

Others all said that she was a dao addict and was only interested in cultivation. From the looks of it now, this was completely due to the fact that she wasn't really fond of talking.

"Only by speaking more will your feel for the languages improve. How about this, I'll teach you some short elementary phrases first, then teach you pinyin and phonetics." An Lin smiled faintly and wrote a few large words on the desk.

These words were: teacher, student, school and attend class, all of which were written in both Chinese and English.

An Lin read them once and Su Qianyun read them after him.

It took quite a while for Su Qianyun to grasp the pronunciations of these phrases.

An Lin greatly understood what Su Qianyun meant when she said she had little natural talent for languages. Sure enough, she wasn't lying to him!

Su Qianyun also realized that she was picking up these two languages very slowly and she had an apologetic expression on her face. "Ah! Sorry for wasting your time," she said softly.

An Lin shook his head sternly. "Classmates are supposed to help each other out. I'll be upset if you say things like that again."

A glimmer appeared in Su Qianyun's eyes as she heard this, and she smiled softly. "Big Sister Chang'e 1 often tells me that all men are evil creatures.

"However, I feel that An Lin is an exception. You truly are a good person."

Her smile was like the most radiant and enchanting spring sunshine which could melt through eternal ice. It instantly shone its way through An Lin's guard.

In that moment, An Lin felt like he had fallen in love…

Chapter 11: An Lin's Disaster in Love

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin's face was flushed as Su Qianyun's comment almost made him lose his mind.

After a long while, he recovered from Su Qianyun's words and asked in surprise, "Chang'e? Moon Palace's Chang'e? She's your sister?"

"M-hm, she isn't my biological sister though. She's my sworn sister.

"She's really nice to me and she's my best friend."

At the mention of Chang'e, a smile spread across Su Qianyun's face.

This also piqued An Lin's interest, as he didn't expect the fabled Chang'e to actually exist in this world.

Thoughts involuntarily ran wild in An Lin's mind and he continued to ask, "Is there also a rabbit in the Moon Palace who knows how to pound medicine and a man who chops trees every day 1 ?"

"Ah! The rabbit you speak of is probably Xiao Yue who refines pills in the Moon Palace.

"Also, there are written rules in the Moon Palace that explicitly forbid males from setting foot upon it. The man chopping wood that you speak of, that's impossible!" Su Qianyun replied with a smile.

"Is that so," An Lin nodded.

It appeared as if the legends on Earth did somewhat overlap with the realities in this world.

"Then are Hou Yi and Chang'e still husband and wife?" An Lin continued to ask curiously.

"How is that possible! Sister Chang'e is the number one beauty in the Heavenly Court. People pursuing her could line up from the Heavenly Court all the way to the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. How would she fall in love with an Earth Immortal who only knows how to shoot arrows at the Moon?"

"Shoot arrows at the Moon?" An Lin was even more confused at this point.

"Because there are too many people courting Chang'e, she created a rule whereby only those who could shoot an arrow from the ground up to the Moon Palace would have the right to meet with her once," Su Qianyun explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is," An Lin exclaimed in realization. "So did he eventually manage to shoot an arrow up to the Moon Palace?"

Su Qianyun shook her head. "No, I heard that he persisted for nine years and attained enlightenment in archery, breaking through to become an Earth Immortal. Afterwards, he left happily."

An Lin: "…"

This differed so vastly from his impression of Hou Yi that he didn't even have the strength to cuss.

"So, how did you become sworn sisters with Chang'e then?"

"It all began when I was five years old. At that time, Sister Chang'e came to the Purple Star State to collect some Wintry Lunar Water when she passed by the Green Wood Imperial Palace…"

An Lin had only asked the question in a casual manner and did not expect Su Qianyun to be so open and talk so incessantly about her and Chang'e's relationship.

Su Qianyun spoke earnestly and recalled how Chang'e had identified her extraordinary natural endowments when she was still a child. She told him about all the matters, regardless of whether they were big or small, and detailed to An Lin all aspects of her relationship with Chang'e.

The more An Lin listened, the more uneasy he felt.

Oi… Oi! You trust me way too much, okay?

You're even telling me about how Chang'e kisses you every time you visit the Moon Palace?

Hang on a second… Chang'e cuddled you as she slept when you were sixteen?

An Lin realized that he had heard something extraordinary.

In order to avoid the unexpected calamities that might befall upon him if he knew too much, he hastily stopped Su Qianyun's rambling.

An Lin felt a bit ashamed. Why was Su Qianyun telling him everything? It made absolutely no sense.

In addition, she answered all the questions that he asked. Did she have any awareness of the fact that she was the number one goddess at the university?

At this moment, a suspicion arose in An Lin's mind.

Could it be that she's a natural airhead?

"Hey, hey… I think we should stop wasting time and study a bit more," An Lin suggested weakly.

Although Su Qianyun was interrupted by An Lin, she wasn't annoyed at all, rather she nodded her head cutely. She then placed her hands on the desk and quietly waited for An Lin to continue the lesson.

Looking at her current appearance, an idea suddenly appeared in An Lin's mind.

After some conflict, he decided to give it a go.

"Next, let's try to say some short and simple sentences," An Lin said earnestly.

He wrote two short sentences on a piece of paper and said, "What we are practicing next is the simplest subject-verb-object structure. Read after me, okay?"

"Yes, I'll definitely try my best," Su Qianyun replied attentively.

"I love you."

"I love you." the voice that could melt one's heart sounded once again.

"I love you (Mandarin)."

"I love you (Mandarin)," Su Qianyun read after him word for word.

An Lin's blood was churning, and he felt like he was going to faint from excitement.

Hehe, the goddess has confessed her feelings for me…

An Lin smiled stupidly next to her.

"Are you smiling so joyfully because my reading is very good?" Su Qianyun asked happily as she saw the smile on An Lin's face.

An Lin came to his senses and nodded profusely. "Your reading is very good, although I feel you should read it a few more times to familiarize yourself with it…"

"M-hm, okay. Can you please tell me what this sentence means though?" Su Qianyun asked inquisitively.

Sh*t, how should I explain this to her?

An Lin was stupefied. They all say that impulse is the devil. Only now did he realize that explaining this phrase to Su Qianyun would be a huge problem!

Ultimately, after a great struggle in his mind, An Lin could only gamble on the fact that Su Qianyun was a girl with a simple and pure mind.

I'm only teaching you a simple subject-verb-object style short sentence. Please, you must believe me!

"This means 'I love you'," An Lin said in a serious tone.

"Oh, so it means I love you," Su Qianyun nodded unthinkingly.

After a moment though, it appeared as if she became aware of something, and she soon fell silent.

…

It was most frightening when everything suddenly turned quiet. It was as if something was brewing in the silence…

An Lin was extremely nervous. He had only wanted to jest and was hoping that she wouldn't take it too seriously.

Okay, An Lin conceded that he was seeking death by choosing to teach Su Qianyun such a sentence.

Ah… Who told him to suddenly feel like flirting? He couldn't stop himself at all.

An Lin looked at Su Qianyun uneasily. He realized that tears had welled up in her bright blue eyes and that her delicate face had blushed bright red. Her lips were pressed together tightly, and it appeared as though she was going to burst into tears.

An Lin started to regret his decision upon seeing her expression and hastily tried to explain himself. "I have no other intentions but to teach you grammar. Please don't misunderstand!"

Su Qianyun raised her head and stared at An Lin as if in a trance. Her expression was as if she had been wronged yet had no means to complain.

Her small lips were curled as she scolded in sobbing tone, "Sister Chang'e was right. There are no good men in the world…"

When a girl of unsurpassed elegance and beauty pouted at you with misty eyes, what kind of sensation would you feel?

My goodness! So adorable!!!

An Lin's blood boiled. He was so excited that he ended up fainting…

Su Qianyun didn't realize just how deadly her expression was to An Lin!

She was rooted to the spot when she saw An Lin pass out with a stream of blood trickling from his nose.

"Student An Lin, are you alright?

"Wake up, don't scare me!"

Seeing that there was still no reaction from An Lin, Su Qianyun was flustered. She thought that her comments were too hurtful and had caused An Lin to pass out in anger.

Thus, feeling extremely ashamed of herself, she ran to the infirmary with An Lin on her back…

Chapter 12: Ranking up in Leaps and Bounds

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When An Lin regained consciousness, he was greeted by the sight of Xu Xiaolan's flawless face.

Her face was very close, and her eyes were blinking as if she was examining something.

"Do I have something on my face?" An Lin asked feebly.

Xu Xiaolan grinned, "Yeah."

She extended her finger and lightly brushed the tip of An Lin's nose.

Such intimate contact made An Lin feel a little embarrassed. "Hey, it's not good to take advantage of me when I'm feeling weak…"

Tear!

"Ow! It hurts!" An Lin cried as he grabbed his nose. Then, he saw that a small paper seal had appeared in Xu Xiaolan's hand.

"This is a seal that stops bleeding. I pulled it off for you since it doesn't seem like you have a nosebleed anymore."

There was a hint of mockery in Xu Xiaolan's eyes as she glanced at An Lin.

"To go to such lengths and work your heart out on the first day as subject representative," she continued, "so much so that you actually passed out from a nosebleed… An Lin, you really are something."

An Lin rubbed his nose awkwardly.

He had no way of responding to Xu Xiaolan's comment.

"Oh, that's right. Where's Su Qianyun?"

"Her? She left when Pharmacist Liu said you were going to be fine.

"You should have seen her expression when she heard the pharmacist explain why you fainted. Tsk, tsk, tsk…

"After getting a rare chance to make a good impression in front of the number one goddess at our university, I'm afraid that it's all amounted to nothing now," Xu Xiaolan said cheerily as she gloated at An Lin.

"What's the point of dwelling on this? It's not as if she's going to fancy me anyways," An Lin sighed.

"At least you're aware of your own limitations. Now hurry up, let's go eat!" Xu Xiaolan exclaimed softly.

An Lin only realized now that his stomach was completely empty.

"You haven't eaten either?" An Lin asked.

"If it wasn't for your annoying matter!

"I was already heading off to the dining hall when I heard that you had fainted. So, I ended up rushing over here to look after you. Say, I treat you so well. How are you going to repay me?" Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes and humphed.

"How about I pledge myself to you?" An Lin said gratefully.

"Beat it!"

…

Just like that, An Lin's life once again returned to normal.

One after another, the days passed, and Su Qianyun would still seek his help regarding Chinese and English. However, there was a subtle feeling of distance, which was obviously a direct consequence of her bearing a grudge over the event of that day.

That said, An Lin was still the only person with whom she would engage in conversations.

After all, apart from cultivating, Su Qianyun just studied those two languages and was uninterested in everything else.

…

Before he knew it, three months had passed.

One night, a shackle somewhere in An Lin's body was broken by a vast rush of energy, and he successfully broke through to the Fourth Stage Dao Body!

It could be said that this was the happiest night in An Lin's life.

Through his efforts, he proved that he didn't need to rely on some fishy system and could cultivate all on his own!

"Humph, so what if you want me to complete one hundred million to the power of one hundred million push-ups this time? If the worst comes to worst, I'll just cultivate on my own!" An Lin said proudly.

That said, he still looked over his God of War System expectantly.

"Fifth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten spirit stones."

Spirit stone? An Lin was startled momentarily.

The university took care of shelter and food, meaning that he had absolutely no chance of coming across the 'energy currencies' which existed in the cultivation world.

Thus, he didn't even have a single spirit stone on him right now.

Ten spirit stones… it probably shouldn't be too hard to obtain. Maybe I should ask Xu Xiaolan and see if she has any?

An Lin was just about to go next door but stopped hesitantly at his front door.

Being the worst student in the class, he had inconvenienced Xu Xiaolan many times by having her give him extra lessons.

The fact that Xu Xiaolan had helped him so much already made it impossible for An Lin to now open his mouth and ask her for money.

Just as An Lin was hesitating, a figure flashed through his mind—Xuanyuan Cheng!

He had once told An Lin, "If you have any problems regarding cultivation, you can come and talk to me. Being your class captain, I will definitely try my best to help you!"

Xuanyuan Cheng's house wasn't far from here and it wasn't too late either. There was probably enough time to get there.

Thinking of this, An Lin set off for Xuanyuan Cheng's residence.

An Lin felt under a bit of pressure now, as he wasn't sure if Xuanyuan Cheng was being serious that day.

However, for the sake of cultivation, he was willing to keep going regardless.

An Lin felt uneasy as he knocked on Xuanyuan Cheng's door.

Xuanyuan Cheng was wearing an ancient-style golden robe as he opened the door.

Seeing that it was An Lin at the door, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"What brings Student An Lin here tonight?"

Xuanyuan Cheng's tone and poise were knowledgeable and refined, greatly easing the tension in An Lin's heart.

"Class captain, you said before that you would help me if I came across any problems. Is that true?" An Lin asked.

"Of course it's true! What problems have you encountered? Come on in, we'll discuss it inside." Xuanyuan Cheng signaled for An Lin to enter his house.

An Lin waved his hands and was a bit apologetic. "No, it's fine. Actually, I just wanted to borrow ten spirit stones from you. I'll repay you once I have enough spirit stones in the future."

"That's all?" Xuanyuan Cheng smiled and retrieved a sack of spirit stones from his storage ring. He chucked the entire bag towards An Lin without even asking how many he needed.

"I don't have spare change on me so here's five hundred spirit stones. Take it all and don't worry about repaying me."

"This…"

An Lin carried the heavy sack of spirit stones in a daze.

Xuanyuan Cheng laughed heartily, and his eyes were full of encouragement. "As long as you have a desire to improve and cultivate earnestly, this kind of loose change doesn't really mean all that much to me."

An Lin was extremely moved, and his heart was filled with unspoken words. In the end, he only managed to muster out a single sentence. "Big Brother Cheng, thank you!"

An Lin returned to his room with the five hundred spirit stones.

He put the spirit stones onto a table, and they piled up into a small mountain.

Looking at the light-green gems which were crystal clear and sparkling, An Lin felt extremely excited.

He impatiently started to cultivate and absorb the vital energy from the spirit stones.

Bursts of warmth traveled throughout his body, continuously cleansing and strengthening him.

After absorbing ten spirit stones, a burst of energy smashed through some seal with a crack.

The aura around An Lin changed and he broke through to the Fifth Stage Dao Body.

After ranking up, he had no time to sigh with emotion. The first thing he did was nervously look towards the system interface.

"Sixth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten plus ten spirit stones."

What a familiar pattern…

Seeing the string of words, An Lin couldn't help but say, "Big Brother Cheng, thank you for the spirit stones…"

After absorbing twenty spirit stones, An Lin ranked up to the Sixth Stage Dao Body.

Immediately, a new prompt appeared on the 'Cultivation Base' section of the system.

"Seventh Stage Dao Body—Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten multiplied by ten spirit stones."

…

The corner of An Lin's lips curled up. This pattern of conditions for ranking up was extremely familiar, with the push-ups from before simply swapped out for spirit stones!

He didn't hesitate and continued to absorb the energy of the spirit stones.

After absorbing the energy of one hundred spirit stones, his aura once again broke through some critical point and he reached the Seventh Stage Dao Body!

Feeling the vast amount of energy surging through his body, a look of satisfaction appeared on An Lin's face.

In one night, his cultivation base had shot all the way from Third Stage Dao Body up to Seventh Stage Dao Body. This made him feel as if he was in a dream.

One had to understand that a Seventh Stage Dao Body was already considered the average standard for new students attending The United University of Cultivation.

The higher the cultivation rank, the harder it gets to level up.

For normal people in the later stages of Dao Body, each increase in rank would require numerous years, or perhaps even dozens of years, of work.

Even for the prodigies who had the ability to enter this university, one or two years of earnest cultivation would be required.

Yet, An Lin achieved all this simply through absorbing spirit stones. He couldn't help but feel elated.

Looking at the remaining three hundred or so spirit stones, An Lin knew that his use for them had probably come to an end.

After all, if everything went according to the pattern, ranking up again would require ten billion spirit stones…

Although he had this in mind, he still stubbornly glanced at the system.

If he didn't look, he wouldn't have realized; once he looked though, An Lin was stunned by what he saw.

Chapter 13: No Zuo No Die

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Eighth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Defeat an enemy who has an Eight Stage Dao Body or above head-on."

Fight someone of a higher rank?

An Lin was a bit startled. He had never heard of such a rank-up condition.

However… this condition didn't look like it would be impossible.

At least it looked a bit better than requiring him to absorb ten billion spirit stones…

On his way to class the next day, An Lin was still worrying about how exactly he would rank up.

"What's wrong? You haven't spoken this whole time."

In Xu Xiaolan's eyes, An Lin was the type of person who would die if he didn't find something to complain about. She couldn't help but question the handsome male who had suddenly become quiet.

"Say, is it difficult for someone with a Seventh Stage Dao Body to defeat someone with an Eighth Stage Dao Body head-on?" An Lin asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Not really! Back when my rank was Sixth Stage Dao Body, I defeated a cousin in my clan who had a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body," Xu Xiaolan said calmly.

"So impressive! How did you do that?" An Lin exclaimed.

Xu Xiaolan smiled triumphantly. "My bloodline crushed his, the purity of my vital energy crushed his, and my grasp of the lineal cultivation method also crushed his. That simple!"

An Lin's face darkened. "How exactly is that f*cking easy?"

"How about an individual of the Seventh Stage Dao Body who doesn't have any bloodline, has a cultivation method of passable quality, and has vital energy of typical purity? Would such an individual be able to defeat someone with an Eighth Stage Dao Body?" An Lin persisted.

"Only if the individual with the Eighth Stage Dao Body is retarded!" Xu Xiaolan snorted.

"Sister, that hurts…" An Lin wailed.

"Oi… Oi! What's this got to do with you? Why are you so filled with grief after hearing what I said?"

Xu Xiaolan was startled upon seeing An Lin's sudden mood change.

"To tell you the truth, my rank has already reached Seventh Stage Dao Body. Due to factors beyond my control, I want to defeat someone who is of a higher rank than me," An Lin sighed.

As if she had heard something unfathomable, Xu Xiaolan's bright eyes widened with surprise.

"Heh, lying isn't good. I can't feel any fluctuating energy from your body whatsoever."

After recovering from her surprise, Xu Xiaolan immediately identified a problem.

Hearing this, An Lin emitted the energy in his body outwards and his aura started to climb steadily until it finally reached a peak.

Seeing this sight, Xu Xiaolan put her hand over her mouth as an expression of shock spread over her face. "My god! It really is Seventh Stage Dao Body!" she yelled.

"It hasn't even been four months and you've gone from Zeroth Stage Dao Body to Seventh Stage Dao Body. How did you do it?!"

Xu Xiaolan was extremely worked up. It was as if she had come across something unfathomable.

"Would you believe me if I told you I achieved this through doing push-ups and absorbing spirit stones?" An Lin asked.

"Are you f*cking trolling me?" Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and yelled, "Own up!"

An Lin was extremely pleased with himself. He smiled and tousled his short hair. "There's no harm in telling you. The truth is that my aptitude is astonishing, and I have amazing natural talents. I'm a once-in-ten-thousand-years talent."

An Lin boasted for a while and expected Xu Xiaolan to scoff at him.

To his surprise, she nodded in agreement. "Now that's right! I was saying, how could trash receive a True God's letter of recommendation. They definitely have to have some kind of ability."

"Oi! Don't you need to consider my feelings when saying 'trash' in front of me?" An Lin was deeply hurt time and time again by Xu Xiaolan's loose tongue.

"Didn't my comment imply that you aren't trash?"

Xu Xiaolan's eyes squinted as she smiled daintily at An Lin. She looked especially cute.

Seeing Xu Xiaolan's smiling face, An Lin's annoyance instantly disappeared.

To this, he could only lament grudgingly. A girl's smiling face really was a golden ticket out of trouble!

Hey, that's right! It'd be easier to ask a friend…

I can have her cooperate with me and be my opponent!

A brilliant thought flashed through An Lin's mind, and he found a way to complete the task.

"Xiaolan, can you help me with something?" An Lin implored with a glint in his eyes.

"What thing?"

Seeing An Lin's expression, Xu Xiaolan couldn't help but feel alert.

"I need you to act as my opponent and fight me, then let me defeat you."

An Lin went straight to the heart of the matter.

Xu Xiaolan recalled what An Lin had said a short while ago. Due to factors beyond his control, he wanted to defeat someone who was ranked higher than him.

"Okay. So, how do you want to fight?" Xu Xiaolan asked. She didn't mind helping An Lin out.

Based on An Lin's capabilities, he was definitely no match for her.

An Lin pondered for a while, before suggesting, "How about we vigorously strike at each other a few times, then you collapse to the floor and loudly admit defeat."

"Sure, let's do it," Xu Xiaolan nodded.

An Lin utilized all the power in his body, stomping on the ground fiercely and throwing a strike at Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan extended her hand and their palms collided, causing a violent stream of air to explode outwards.

The shockwaves forced An Lin to retreat, while Xu Xiaolan still calmly stood in her original position.

"Come again!" An Lin launched into another fierce attack, his hands becoming a blur of motion as they repeatedly struck towards Xu Xiaolan.

After catching a few of An Lin's strikes, Xu Xiaolan let out a soft cry before suddenly collapsing to the ground.

"Ah! Immortal An Lin is too strong, I admit defeat!"

Xu Xiaolan was a sorry sight as she looked at An Lin pitiably.

Her acting was absolutely on point and An Lin really felt as if he had defeated her.

If she went to Earth, this acting skill would definitely win her an Oscar!

An Lin was in complete admiration of Xu Xiaolan's acting. After finally recovering from this feeling, he looked towards the system interface.

Nothing had changed…

So, it really didn't work? An Lin fell into deep thought.

The condition for ranking up is to defeat an enemy who has an Eighth Stage Dao Body or above head-on.

The system probably didn't register this battle because the 'enemy' condition wasn't genuinely fulfilled. What if I…

Looking at Xu Xiaolan who was still collapsed on the floor, the expression in An Lin's eyes changed.

"Hurry and get up! You look so ugly when you're collapsed on the floor. I can barely bring myself to look at you," An Lin said coldly.

"What did you say!" Xu Xiaolan stood up, an ice-cold expression on her face.

An Lin spread his hands and spoke slowly. "To tell you the truth, the gulf between your appearance and Su Qianyun's is like that between an ugly duckling and a white swan. The more I look at your face, the uglier it seems."

"An! Lin!" Xu Xiaolan stared daggers at An Lin as she ground her teeth and spat out his name.

An Lin laughed lowly. "What's wrong? Does the truth hurt? Come and hit me!"

Right after he said this, Xu Xiaolan really did pounce, her body emitting an overwhelming aura.

A sense of danger suddenly enveloped An Lin's entire body.

That's right! This is the kind of feeling that an enemy should give off!

An Lin was overcome with joy upon seeing this, and he yelled hastily, "Xu Xiaolan, I'll succeed if you exchange blows with me now, and then admit defeat to me!"

Xu Xiaolan was upon An Lin in a flash, anger and scorn the only expressions on her face.

"Take this b*tch!" Xu Xiaolan cried.

Her jade-like palm ruthlessly struck towards An Lin's face.

Her strike was incredibly fast and An Lin had no time to dodge.

Slap!

The slap spun An Lin three-thousand-six-hundred degrees in the air, and he felt a rush of dizziness as he collapsed onto the ground.

"Puh!"

Spittles of blood dribbled out from An Lin's mouth as he lay on the ground, and his eyes were wide open and full of remorse.

Sh*t, what have I done…

Chapter 14: I Apologize, I Wronged You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin attracted the gaze of numerous prodigies as he entered the classroom.

It wasn't because of how handsome he was, rather it was because the left side of his face was swollen like a pig.

"An Lin, who hit you? Tell your class captain, class captain will do you justice!"

Seeing An Lin's sorry shape, Xuanyuan Cheng had a face of indignance.

Hearing this, An Lin shook his head emphatically. "Class captain, it's not like that… I accidentally tripped by myself…"

As he finished saying this, he fearfully glanced behind him towards Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan humphed with a cold expression on her face. She ignored An Lin and found a spot to sit alone.

Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes were full of understanding, as if he was aware of what had happened.

He patted An Lin's shoulder and consoled, "So it was domestic violence, huh. It really isn't all that easy for you, is it…"

"Brother Cheng… How could you bear to pick at my scabs after seeing how pitiful I am!"

An Lin's face hurt badly with every sentence he uttered.

His face was again contorted with agony as he talked to Xuanyuan Cheng.

"Is that so? Then Student An Lin must cultivate earnestly and strive to surpass Xu Xiaolan as soon as possible! That way you won't be picked on anymore!" Xuanyuan Cheng consoled An Lin warmly with a look of understanding on his face.

An Lin grimaced. Finally, he sighed and gave up on explaining.

He nodded at Xuanyuan Cheng and turned to leave, planning to find a spot to sit down.

"An Lin, take this."

Xuanyuan Cheng's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

An Lin turned around and saw Xuanyuan Cheng toss him a vial.

"Smear this on your face, it reduces swelling," Xuanyuan Cheng explained.

An Lin was momentarily dazed as he caught the vial. When he came to his senses, he was moved to tears.

This sort of feeling was as if after being crushed by a stampede of mythological beasts, one was full of wounds and wandering alone in the wilderness. Then, an angel suddenly appeared and gently said, "Don't worry, you've still got me!"

How caring and considerate…

After returning to his seat, An Lin applied the ointment to his face.

Right after he applied the ointment, a cool and refreshing sensation swept over his face, and most of the searing pain disappeared.

"Ah, this medicine is pretty good," An Lin nodded. He carefully put the ointment away, just in case he needed it for the future.

Ah…

Was it now impossible to keep raising his rank through the system?

An Lin was a bit gloomy. He opened the system interface in his mind and stared blankly at the 'Cultivation Base' section.

That's right! Don't I only need a Seventh Stage Dao Body to access the 'Cultivation Methods' and 'Moves' section?

An Lin suddenly thought of this and immediately opened the 'Cultivation Methods' section. The cultivation methods displayed on the interface were separated into ten main categories: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Yin, Yang and God. Currently, only the 'Thunder' category of cultivation methods was lit up.

"Stage One Thunder Essence Cultivation Method—Condition: Be struck by a natural bolt of lightning which has been developed by the Heaven and Earth."

An Lin: "…"

F*ck the hell off! Are you trying to have me get killed?!

An Lin was dumbstruck by the system's condition.

Lightning bolts that occurred naturally all had voltages of over one hundred thousand volts and would have massive currents.

If he stood there and allowed himself to be struck by lightning, would he really be able to survive?

Life or strength, which one was more important?

I think I should just forget about the cultivation method…

An Lin shook his head and turned his attention to the 'Moves' section.

There was nothing under this section, except for an icon.

"Mountain Quaking Fist—Condition: Ingest ten grams of Mountain Soul-Essence."

What's Mountain Soul-Essence? An Lin was a bit puzzled.

Who cares what it is. At least this condition provides me with a hope that I can actually realize.

How about I ask Xu Xiaolan after school?

An Lin glanced towards the front where Xu Xiaolan—with the remnants of a furious expression still visible on her face—was sitting.

He had a bit of a headache. You've hit me and you've scolded me. How have you not cooled down yet? Clearly, I suffered the most, okay.

The classes that morning were mainly to do with spell formations and was taught by their homeroom teacher, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao.

It was clear that the handsome Sword Immortal was in a good mood today, as he gradually strayed off track and started talking about the heroic deeds that he completed in the past.

One had to admit that Sword Immortal Ling Xiao was really skilled in storytelling, as he boasted extravagantly of his deeds.

There were lows in the story, for example how a prodigy of some sect looked down upon him when he was young and slandered him in all sorts of ways.

There were also awesome moments of explosiveness, for example when Sword Immortal Ling Xiao returned mightily five years later.

A single thrust of his sword left the entire sect in awe, and the prodigy who had once ridiculed him was so frightened that he wet his pants in fear.

One after another, the stories he told were all splendid and wonderful, repeatedly eliciting cries of surprise from the students. Even An Lin felt like he was listening to a cultivation novel.

Near the end of his story, the homeroom teacher seemed to realize that he had gone way off topic and forcefully related it back to their lesson, hastily remarking, "From these stories, we can see that the journey of cultivation is a long and unpredictable one, one which is filled with splendor. We must not be discouraged easily!"

Afterwards, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao started talking earnestly about the arrangements and techniques regarding spell formations.

A chorus of boos suddenly erupted from below the lectern and many students had a look of disappointment.

Evidently, everyone preferred for the homeroom teacher to tell stories, rather than to deliver actual lessons…

Before he knew it, school had finished.

Students left the classroom one after another, and An Lin grabbed this chance to approach Xu Xiaolan apologetically.

"Fairy Lan Lan, it was my mistake today. I'm sorry," An Lin apologized obsequiously, his face full of regret.

Xu Xiaolan raised her eyebrows and humphed, "That's it?"

An Lin was stifled, and he roared loudly in his mind. What more do you want me to do?

Of course, An Lin didn't dare speak his mind right now.

His mind whirred and he finally found the right words.

"Fairy Lan Lan, not only am I blind, I'm also clumsy and don't know how to speak.

"I was the one in the wrong today. I really shouldn't have gone against my conscience and slandered your beauty.

"That was the most heartless thing I've uttered in my entire life. I wronged you!

"If you're still angry, just slap me again!

"Come on, the right side of my face isn't swollen yet. Slap me so both sides of my face become symmetrical!"

After saying this, An Lin turned the uninjured side of his face towards Xu Xiaolan and closed his eyes, as if allowing her to do as she pleased.

Seeing An Lin act like this, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Xu Xiaolan's frosty face.

However, before An Lin reopened his eyes, she hid her smile and purposefully put on a stern expression. "Fine. Seeing that you're apologizing so sincerely, I'll forgive you," she said coldly.

Hearing this, An Lin felt a surge of relief.

Opening his eyes and seeing that Xu Xiaolan's expression had indeed relaxed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his mind.

"Actually, there's still something that I want to ask you about. Do you know what Mountain Soul-Essence is?"

An Lin hesitated momentarily before deciding to ask this.

"Why are you asking this? Are you up to something again?" Xu Xiaolan asked with her cheeks resting in her hands.

"It's just that due to some unique circumstances, I need to ingest ten grams of Mountain Soul-Essence." An Lin knew that there was hope after hearing Xu Xiaolan's reply, and his eyes started to glisten.

"Ingest?" Xu Xiaolan was startled, and she stared straight at An Lin, her mouth slightly agape.

An Lin had a bad feeling about this once he saw Xu Xiaolan's expression. "What, is there a problem?"

"N-no, there's no problem, just that it's quite difficult to find this stuff. How about this, I'll take you to Full Moon Mountain to search for it."

A warm smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face as she suggested this to An Lin.

Full Moon Mountain was the tallest mountain on their university campus. On the mountain peak, there was a Moon Gazing Pavilion.

The scenery atop the mountain was absolutely stunning and there were all kinds of flowers and plants. Moreover, there were some adorable spirit beasts that roamed this area. As a result, this was the mountain that female students liked strolling about most.

Once he heard that there was a chance of finding Mountain Soul-Essence on the Full Moon Mountain, he instantly became excited. He and Xu Xiaolan decided to leave for Full Moon Mountain straight away.

Mountain Quaking Fist… I finally have the chance to learn the first immortal spell of my cultivation life!

There was a look of extreme eagerness etched upon An Lin's face.

Chapter 15: Mountain Soul-Essence

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"All matter has a spirit, all spirits can nurture a soul, all souls can develop a mind.

"We're looking for the Mountain Soul-Essence, so we should first go to a location where spiritual energy converges."

Xu Xiaolan was dressed in a white daoist robe and explained the situation to An Lin as she walked in front of him gracefully.

The gold and jade bells tied to her waist tinkled crisply and melodiously as she walked, sounding like the joyous chirping of birds.

"Then how are we meant to know at which location the spiritual energy converges?" An Lin asked.

"Your rank is too low right now, so you don't have a direct perception regarding the differing concentrations of spiritual energy.

"You're not able to learn this, so you still have to rely on me for this."

Xu Xiaolan glanced at An Lin with a triumphant expression.

"I'm already at the Seventh Stage Dao Body and you're only at the Ninth. What are you being so smug about?" An Lin was unwilling to yield as he saw Xu Xiaolan's expression.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I already ranked up to the Tenth Stage Dao Body a month ago," Xu Xiaolan squinted her eyes as she smiled at An Lin, who was too surprised to utter a word. "Don't tell me that only you're allowed to rank up and no one else is allowed to?"

An Lin was rooted to the spot and he suddenly felt an urge to cry.

Why was Xu Xiaolan always able to hurt him unintentionally…

It took An Lin three months to rank up from the Third Stage Dao Body to the Fourth Stage. Apart from this, all his other breakthroughs were thanks to the system hacks.

However, it only took Xu Xiaolan two months to go from Ninth Stage Dao Body to Tenth Stage?

One had to realize that the higher ranked one was, the harder it would be to rank up.

If An Lin cultivated normally, how long would it take him to go from a Ninth Stage Dao Body to a Tenth Stage?

Two years? Twenty years?

Thinking of this, An Lin felt a profound sense of malice coming from the genius…

He was in low spirits as he followed behind Xu Xiaolan, and a myriad of thoughts welled up in his mind.

Before he knew it, he had already arrived at a mountain stream under the guidance of Xu Xiaolan.

Clear spring water flowed through the stream and fiery red flowers blossomed in the surroundings. The air was filled with a unique fragrance.

An Lin breathed in a few lungfuls of this fragrance and his entire body felt languid, as if he couldn't exert any energy.

"Is this flower poisonous?!"

An Lin exclaimed in fright as he came to his senses. He pointed towards the flowers which were freakishly red.

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him. "You don't even recognize Fire Lotuses… Was the homeroom teacher responsible for your elixir lessons?"

Hearing Xu Xiaolan say this, An Lin finally recalled this plant.

Fire Lotuses were bright-red in color and looked like lotuses. Their fragrance was enchanting and breathing it in regularly could recuperate one's health as well as aid in Spirit Gathering. It was an Eighth Rank Spirit Medicine.

Valuable medicinal materials were usually split into three categories: Spirit Medicine, Heavenly Medicine, and Godly Medicine.

Medicines of different categories could be used to refine pills of different ranks. For example, Spirit Medicines could be refined into Spirit Pills and Heavenly Medicines could be refined into Heavenly Pills.

First Rank Spirit Medicine was the most valuable and Ninth Rank Spirit Medicine was the least valuable.

Being an Eighth Rank Spirit Medicine, Fire Lotuses were ranked very lowly. However, they were still Spirit Medicines after all, and did still count as valuable medicines, no?

Thinking of this, An Lin squatted down and started his life as a gatherer…

Xu Xiaolan saw An Lin holding the Fire Lotuses in his lap as if they were extremely valuable and his expression was as if he had picked up treasures. It appeared as if he had completely forgotten what he was here for. "Good-for-nothing," Xu Xiaolan whispered.

She stopped looking at An Lin, instead placing her hand on the rugged cliff and sensing the flow of energy in the veins of the earth.

"It should be fine over here…" Xu Xiaolan muttered.

Immediately afterwards, she drew a deep breath and shouted in a clear and crisp voice,

"Earth Grandpa, come out!!!"

An Lin, who was squatting on the floor, was startled by her loud voice.

Before An Lin could regain his senses, the earth suddenly started to tremor violently.

"E-earthquake?" An Lin had a startled expression. Soon after, he saw something even more astonishing.

A gigantic body composed of rocks slowly rose from the earth.

It was over three meters tall and a thick and heavy light flashed in its dim, yellow eyes. When it moved, it made a tremendous sound of rocks colliding together, making it appear extremely powerful.

When An Lin saw this massive rock creature, he couldn't help but think of a character that he often came across in a game he used to play—Malphite, Shard of the Monolith…

To think that such a creature was now being referred to by Xu Xiaolan as… Earth Grandpa?

"Little girl, you're calling me?"

The lava creature's voice was deep but not loud and it gave people an indistinct feeling of pressure.

Xu Xiaolan nodded and said, "I came here in hope that Earth Grandpa could bestow upon us some Mountain Soul-Essence."

Halfway through her sentence, Xu Xiaolan glanced backwards towards An Lin and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Ten grams is all I want," she continued.

"Oh, Mountain Soul-Essence. I do indeed have a surplus of it. Who would have thought that there would still be people after this now? Here, a gift for you!"

The lava creature extended its arm out and a small earthly yellow ball slowly appeared in its palm.

Xu Xiaolan respectfully took the small ball and saluted at the lava creature.

Seeing this, An Lin quickly mimicked Xu Xiaolan's action and expressed his gratitude towards the lava creature.

The lava creature nodded its head slightly, then started to melt slowly into the ground.

"Here, we've got the Mountain Soul-Essence. Hurry up and eat it."

There was a hint of anticipation in Xu Xiaolan's eyes as she placed the earthly yellow ball in An Lin's hand.

"It was actually so easy to obtain, isn't that way too easy?"

An Lin initially thought that searching for the Mountain Soul-Essence would be as difficult as looking for extremely rare treasures. Who knew that all it would take was for them to summon 'Earth Grandpa' and then request him to 'bestow' it upon them? This was completely different from his expectations!

Don't I need to complete missions? Don't I need to go treasure hunting?

Is this not a treasure? Why was it bestowed upon us so casually?

Xu Xiaolan chuckled upon hearing this. "What's wrong? I've only seen people who are afraid of trouble. Who would've thought that you'd actually be afraid when things are too easy?"

An Lin didn't know how to respond, and he laughed dryly. He didn't hesitate any longer and put the Mountain Soul-Essence into his mouth.

The texture and taste of the Mountain Soul-Essence largely exceeded An Lin's expectations. It melted the instant he put it in his mouth and tasted fairly similar to peppermint drops, having a sweet and refreshing flavor.

"Mmm, it tastes good," An Lin nodded in admiration.

Xu Xiaolan forcefully held in her laughter. "How do you feel right now?" she asked expectantly.

"I don't really feel anything. Should I be feeling something?" An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan in surprise.

This time it was Xu Xiaolan's turn to feel gloomy. She appeared to be disappointed that something she had been anticipating didn't eventuate.

Suddenly, there was a 'ding' and a message appeared in the God of War System.

"Ten grams of Mountain Soul-Essence have been absorbed. Congratulations on learning an Elementary Rank God of War Immortal Spell—Mountain Quaking Fist!"

Immediately afterwards, all the information regarding the Mountain Quaking Fist rushed into An Lin's mind: The concepts, activation mantra, effects and so forth.

After a moment, An Lin drew a deep breath, his eyes sparkling. It was clear that he had already grasped this elementary rank immortal spell.

He knew that if he could fully master the Mountain Quaking Fist, one punch would have the power to destroy a mountain!

An Lin started reciting the mantra for the Mountain Quaking Fist. A ball of golden light gathered in his fist and a raging energy was contained within it.

Xu Xiaolan sensed the golden light which had converged in An Lin's fist and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

An Lin punched towards a mountain wall in the distance, and a dazzling gold light burst from his fist.

A faint three-meter halo of a golden fist surged from his fist and collided into the wall with a vast amount of power.

Boom! The mountain in front of An Lin trembled slightly, as crushed rocks exploded from the mountain wall.

Afterwards, he was astonished to see that on the towering mountain wall, there was an incredibly deep imprint in the shape of a three-meter large fist…

Chapter 16: Such Terrifying Diarrhea

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Holy Sh*t!" Seeing the fist imprint on the mountain wall, An Lin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The might of this immortal spell had clearly frightened even him, the caster of the spell.

After his initial surprise, a complacent and excited expression appeared on An Lin's face.

If the first immortal spell of the system—The Mountain Quaking Fist—is so powerful, then what will the Thunder Essence Cultivation Method be like?

He had an urge to immediately find a place to get struck by lightning.

Simply the name of that cultivation method sounded extremely impressive. Having already seen the effects of the Mountain Quaking Fist, An Lin itched to do something the more he thought about it.

Seeing An Lin immersed in his immortal spell with a face of complacency, Xu Xiaolan involuntarily humphed.

Although she didn't know where An Lin had learnt this immortal spell from, she knew that it was necessary for her to do something at this moment.

"Your immortal spell really isn't all that powerful. Check this out!"

As she said this, Xu Xiaolan punched towards a mountain wall in front of her and a massive blazing palm of almost seven meters whistled out.

Even though he was standing quite a distance away from Xu Xiaolan, An Lin could feel a scorching heat come from the terrifyingly hot blazing palm.

The massive palm soon hit the mountain wall, causing a violent tremor.

Boom!

Following the deafening sound, a palm imprint numerous times larger than that of An Lin's fist imprint appeared on the mountain wall.

In fact, even the rock around the imprint was charred black!

An Lin's mouth was agape as he turned to face Xu Xiaolan.

Then, he saw that the expression on her face was relaxed and carefree.

It was as if she could throw that palm effortlessly.

An Lin once again fell into low spirits…

What even… The power of such a casual palm is already far greater than that of my Mountain Quaking Fist. So, it turns out that my immortal spell is only a run-of-the-mill one…

What An Lin didn't know was that in order to achieve such an effect, Xu Xiaolan had to rely on her Tenth Stage Dao Body, in addition to drawing upon her Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline.

In fact, in terms of immortal spells, the might of An Lin's punch could already be considered as extremely powerful.

Xu Xiaolan had only acted as such because she was afraid that he would become complacent after learning such an immortal spell.

Afterwards, she stole a glance at An Lin. Upon seeing his expression, she nodded to herself and was secretly happy.

It appeared to be fairly effective…

At least he didn't have that 'immortal spell in hand, world is in my hands' type of expression anymore.

…

Knowing that his objective was completed after ingesting the Mountain Soul-Essence, An Lin returned home.

Once he arrived back in his room, he started cultivating and absorbing vital energy to temper his body.

Seems like I still have to work harder. The more stupid one is, the more effort one needs to put in!

The events of that day left An Lin feeling quite shaken.

He had initially thought that by relying on the system, he could easily catch up to the prodigies of this world. Yet, the cruel reality revealed to him just how naive his thinking was.

To I who have no bloodline, no aptitude and no support of any sect, is it truly possible for me to catch up to the prodigies simply by relying on the system?

If I become too reliant on the system and don't put in any effort myself, perhaps the distance between us will only get larger and larger.

An Lin wasn't someone who was afraid of failure. The more difficult the road ahead, the more fighting spirit he had.

It was due to this fact that he made the most of every minute and every second to cultivate earnestly.

If his aptitude was insufficient, he would make up for it through time!

However, just as he started to cultivate full of fighting spirit, he felt a throb of pain in his lower abdomen.

Huh? What's wrong?

The pain worsened as An Lin rubbed his belly.

As his stomach was overcome by severe pain, he became extremely alarmed.

He felt as if something was churning around in his stomach. Perhaps it was a bout of food poisoning?

The food in the school dining hall had always been hygienic. In addition, it was rare for someone with a Seventh Stage Dao Body to suffer from an upset stomach, unless someone poisoned their food.

Ah! I can't hold it in, I need to sh*t!

An Lin couldn't hold on any longer and rushed to the toilet.

Afterwards, the sound of one hundred stampeding elephants could be heard coming from the toilet. In the toilet, his sh*t rushed out swiftly…

The second day, Xu Xiaolan didn't spot An Lin in the classroom and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

On this day, An Lin was squatting on the toilet.

Although there was nothing else in his stomach for him to excrete, a feeling of wanting to sh*t for all eternity wouldn't leave him.

The third day, Xu Xiaolan still didn't spot An Lin in the classroom and couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. Don't tell me that he got into another fight and was detained again?

Casting her mind to the fact that An Lin had suddenly mastered a fairly powerful immortal spell, there certainly was a possibility that such was the case.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and pondered over whether she should go to the detention facility to visit An Lin.

On this day, An Lin was squatting on the toilet.

Although there was nothing else in his stomach for him to excrete, a feeling of wanting to sh*t for all eternity wouldn't leave him. This caused him to be unable to leave the toilet…

The fourth day, Xu Xiaolan still didn't spot An Lin in the classroom, so she decided to pay him a visit in the detention facility.

After school, she arrived at the university detention facility only to find that An Lin wasn't there.

Weird… If he isn't in the detention facility, then where has he gone?

Xu Xiaolan frowned, before a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. It can't be due to the Mountain Soul-Essence, can it?

The Mountain Soul-Essence was a type of discharge formed when the Mountain God absorbed spiritual energy.

This type of Mountain Soul-Essence was harmless in itself. However, if cultivators ingested it directly, it would bring about some side effects, namely, three days of intense diarrhea!

Initially, Xu Xiaolan had wanted to tease An Lin, thus not telling him of this fact beforehand. She had planned to show great benevolence and save him once his stomach started hurting.

By doing this, she could exact some revenge on An Lin for that time he had offended her.

Unexpectedly, An Lin showed no ill signs after ingesting the Mountain Soul-Essence. Instead, he appeared lively and full of vigor. Xu Xiaolan had already thought that An Lin was immune to the side effects.

Xu Xiaolan pinched her chin and muttered, "If the judgment is not forthcoming, it is because the time has not yet arrived? 1 "

"Today's the third day already… If it's the side effects of the Mountain Soul-Essence, then I should probably be able to see him tomorrow."

On this day, An Lin was squatting on the toilet.

Although there was nothing else in his stomach for him to excrete, a feeling of wanting to sh*t for all eternity wouldn't leave him. This caused him to be unable to leave the toilet…

No, An Lin had a feeling, a feeling that he could attempt to sh*t his own intestines out…

The fifth day, Xu Xiaolan still didn't spot An Lin in the classroom. Once again, she overturned her previous speculation.

Could it be that it isn't due to diarrhea?

What a worrisome person… Never mind, I'll pay his house a visit after school.

On this day, An Lin was squatting on the toilet. The feeling of wanting to sh*t for all eternity had already vanished from his mind.

You ask why he was still squatting on the toilet?

That was because he already couldn't stand up.

That's right, his legs had already become crippled from squatting…

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Xu Xiaolan knocked on An Lin's door for a long time, but there was no reply.

The silence caused her to start feeling a little uneasy.

Could it be that An Lin isn't home?

An urge to forcefully enter and see what was going on crept into Xu Xiaolan's mind.

Right at that moment, the door opened. She was startled by the sight which greeted her.

"An Lin, how did you become like this?!"

In the doorway, An Lin's face was haggard and dark bags surrounded his eyes.

Due to excessive fluid loss, his entire body appeared withered and listless. More importantly, why was there a mysterious smile on his face?!

There was only one thought in Xu Xiaolan's mind:

Oh no, An Lin has sh*t himself stupid…

A feeling of remorse welled up in her heart as she thought of this, and she looked apologetically at An Lin.

Suddenly, An Lin started speaking in a dull voice. "I recently developed a new type of cultivation method, whereby one can absorb vital energy and temper their body while they are squatting. Do you want to learn it?"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

…

Xu Xiaolan sighed softly and took out a perfectly round pill which was emitting red light.

This pill was a top-grade Blood and Vital Breath Pill which could instantly replenish a substantial amount of one's vitality.

Although a top-grade Blood and Vital Breath Pill was relatively costly, Xu Xiaolan really couldn't bear seeing An Lin in such a way.

Without saying anything further, she pried open An Lin's mouth and tossed the pill inside.

After swallowing the Blood and Vital Breath Pill, An Lin's body was quickly replenished with the fluid that he had previously lost.

After a short while, his face was no longer haggard and instead appeared a healthy pink.

A hint of clarity returned to An Lin's lifeless eyes and he gave Xu Xiaolan a strained smile. "Thank you," he said gratefully.

Seeing that a sense of normality had returned to An Lin, Xu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded in satisfaction and entered An Lin's house.

Regarding why An Lin was in such a state before, both of them did not bring it up, as if in silent agreement…

Both of them were well aware of why that was.

Xu Xiaolan didn't want to talk about it because she felt a bit guilty.

As for An Lin, it was because he was feeling far too weak now to look into it. He had to ingest the Mountain Soul-Essence either way, thus, he accepted that it was just his bad luck that there was such a side effect.

After sitting down, Xu Xiaolan patiently explained to An Lin the progress of their class, as well as what content he needed to catch up on.

She even took out her notes for the spell formation class and started explaining the difficult sections to him.

An Lin listened very intently, as he was determined to change his standing as the straggler of his class.

In fact, after studying earnestly for the past few months, he had gradually become accustomed to the university life of cultivation on this floating continent already.

At the very least, he wasn't utterly clueless when it came to cultivation anymore, unlike when he had initially arrived.

For example, he had been able to learn things such as how to organize spell formations, basic tool refinement skills and basic techniques regarding cultivation and so on and so forth.

"Ah… I'll stay in the classroom tomorrow and spend some more time making up for the missed lessons."

An Lin started lamenting after realizing that he had fallen behind in so many subjects.

Xu Xiaolan's mouth curled into a smile when she heard this. "You won't be able to go to class tomorrow. Tomorrow is the launch day for the free-for-all battle event which our university holds yearly."

"Free-for-all battle event?" An Lin had a look of confusion.

"You don't know about this event as you haven't attended classes these past few days," Xu Xiaolan explained. "The free-for-all battle is a grand event that our university holds every year. It's compulsory for every student to take part in this event.

"During this occasion, all fifty thousand students of the university will gather together and attend this event."

Lin's eyes sparkled upon hearing this and he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.

The United University of Cultivation was built upon a floating continent that had an area larger than that of Earth's Taiwan.

For students of different year levels, the content taught to them also differed greatly. Thus, the locations at which students studied were also scattered around different regions.

As a result of this, there were few opportunities for An Lin to meet students of higher year levels. Presumably, an event that gathered all five year levels of students together would be extremely noisy and bustling with excitement.

This kind of whole school event made him feel eager with anticipation and also made him feel curious about the event.

"Speaking of which, what are the specifics regarding this event?"

"This event is very stimulating," Xu Xiaolan said excitedly. "It's going to be held in our university at the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. There, a whole fifty thousand people will be engaged in a free-for-all battle for three days.

"During the period of this event, you can beat up whoever you don't like the look of. At the same time, you must also accept all challenges issued to you by other students. This is an individual event and forming teams is forbidden. Surrendering is also forbidden. The only way to leave this event is to be defeated in battle.

"There are one hundred teachers—all of them Earth Immortals—using their divine senses to overlook this battle. So, you won't have the chance to pull any tricks~"

"Holy sh*t!" Hearing this, An Lin's legs—in which he had just regained some senses—started to go limp again.

Say, this event is actually just a fifty-thousand-person brawl? And a brawl where surrendering is forbidden?

It's such a rare opportunity for us to finally gather together with the respectable senior students. Don't tell me that this meeting with them is simply to taste the love from their fists?

Seeing the look of despair on An Lin's face, Xu Xiaolan consoled, "Don't worry, this event isn't as scary as you think.

"Hundreds of teachers will be monitoring the battle situation and every student will receive a Defeat Judgement Seal.

"Once a student is defeated, the seal will activate and form a defensive barrier which then defends against all attacks.

"I've heard that only fewer than ten students die in this event each year!

"The result of being defeated is usually just receiving minor injuries or being crippled~"

An Lin: "…"

This is the 'not very scary' that you speak of!?

An Lin raised his head and stared at the sky…

After a long time, he asked about the matter which concerned him most. "Why are there still deaths if students have seals?"

"There are many reasons," Xu Xiaolan said.

"Reason number one is that Spirit Nurturing ranked students are not careful enough when fighting against lower ranked students. Sometimes the students die before the seal has a chance to activate.

"Reason number two is that they are killed by the shockwaves of other battles…

"Reason number three is that they accidentally fall off the mountain peaks.

"Reason number four is that they die due to accidentally ingesting poisonous substances.

"Reason number five is…"

…

The more An Lin listened, the more frightened he became. This free-for-all battle was way too horrifying!

Where's the promised prosperity, strength, democracy, civility and harmony?

A cold chill enveloped his body. The anticipation he initially felt had completely vanished already.

"The Immortal Rankings Board of the university is updated every time the free-for-all battle occurs. The teachers will re-evaluate the rankings based on how each student performs during this event.

"As long as you make it onto the university's Immortal Rankings Board, you can receive all types of wonderful rewards. So, let us work hard!" Xu Xiaolan grinned.

Two dimples appeared on her cheeks, further accentuating her bright and beautiful smile.

Compared to the enthusiasm of Xu Xiaolan, An Lin could only laugh dryly. "Uh-huh, let us work hard," he nodded.

Out of the fifty thousand students, only the top one-hundred could be ranked in the university's Immortal Rankings Board. By and large, these people were the most talented individuals amongst the prodigies. An Lin didn't dare have any wild wishes regarding those positions.

Even the weakest individual in the current Immortal Rankings Board had a cultivation base of something like a Tenth Stage Dao Body.

Moreover, twenty-two freakish individuals with a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivation base occupied the top positions of the Immortal Rankings Board. If they went to the Heavenly Court possessing such a cultivation base, they could already be considered part of the Immortal Ranks and hold the post of a general.

To these people, fighting against students who had a Dao Body Stage cultivation base was much like playing around. A slip up could potentially cause them to pummel a student to death by accident.

Thinking of this, An Lin quickly made a decision in his mind.

In this free-for-all battle, participation is important and coming out alive is paramount!

Chapter 18: Sensational Opening Ceremony Speech

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was early in the morning, yet tens of thousands of students had already assembled on White Jade Plaza.

Although most of them were prodigies from sects all over the Kingdom of the Nine States, in the face of the yearly free-for-all battle held by the university, their expressions were far from relaxed.

Most of the students quietly cast their sight towards those with whom they normally had conflict.

These students with whom they usually had disputes with were most likely going to be their enemies during this event.

After all, this was a rare opportunity to pummel someone fair and square. Presumably, they wouldn't let this opportunity slip by…

The homeroom teachers of each class were now marking off their students, and An Lin's homeroom teacher, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, was also present.

As usual, a sword hung from their homeroom teacher's waist, and his white robes were fluttering about.

His graceful and dashing figure attracted the gaze of many female students, even those from the neighboring classes.

Apart from their homeroom teacher, Class One's supremely talented and renowned students—Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun—also attracted strong attention.

It was as if they were blessed by the heavens; one was too handsome for friends, the other was too beautiful for friends.

Putting aside their appearance, their aptitude was also extraordinary, and they had already reached the Spirit Nurturing rank at such a young age. This caused countless prodigies to feel envious and jealous at the same time.

An Lin also arrived at the White Jade Plaza early in the morning. What greeted him was a sea of students and countless fresh faces.

Due to the massive size of the university, he never really had a concept of what fifty thousand students meant. Now that all fifty thousand of them were gathered in the one place, he was able to understand and appreciate just how stunning such a scene was.

The atmosphere produced by the fifty thousand students was enough to make him feel as if he were amidst a boundless and raging sea.

After some time, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded out from the heart of the White Jade Plaza.

"The students have all been marked off now. Next, please welcome Vice-Principal Yu Hua to the stage to deliver his speech for the opening ceremony of the free-for-all battle event."

An Lin knew that Vice-Principal Yu Hua was already a Celestial Immortal in the Return to Void stage and had also heard that he held the power in The United University of Cultivation. It could be said that he was an acting principal who did everything the principal should have done.

As for the principal of The United University of Cultivation, An Lin had never caught a single glimpse of him in his few months at the university.

He had heard that their principal was constantly away from university and was traveling around. Some unlucky students never once saw their great principal in their entire university lives and could only gaze reverently at pictures of him.

With his thick black eyebrows and thick black mustache, Vice-Principal Yu Hua's appearance was extremely amusing.

For some reason, when An Lin saw Vice-Principal Yu Hua, he started to visualize him dressed in a red and blue overall. He looked exactly like Mario!

Although Vice-Principal Yu Hua's appearance was amusing, his speech for the opening ceremony was especially stirring.

His hands were clasped behind his back as he stood in the sky—this was a skill that could only be performed by Celestial Immortals.

Once one became a Celestial Immortal, they would have the power to manipulate space. Standing in the sky was just one simple application of this power.

Vice-Principal Yu Hua's voice wasn't loud, yet every single one of his words appeared to penetrate through the air and travel directly into the ears of all fifty thousand students, reaching right to their souls.

This kind of skill was already beyond that of simply transmitting one's voice into another's ears and had utilized the ability of 'imparting teachings and heavenly bestowal'. As a result, a sense of 'natural law' and 'dao' was contained in his words.

In fact, the content of Vice-Principal Yu Hua's speech was extremely uninteresting. If a normal person delivered such a speech, they would probably put countless students to sleep.

Yet, when such content was delivered from Vice-Principal Yu Hua's mouth, every sentence was stirring and resounded in one's ears. Not a single person was drowsy, and it felt as if everything he said was extremely reasonable.

Imagine for instance, that someone told you not to drink boiling water, as that would burn your tongue.

Once you hear this, you will definitely slap them without hesitation and think to yourself, 'No f*cking shit!'

However, if it was Vice-Principal Yu Hua who told you not to drink boiling water, as that would burn your tongue, you would feel a sense of sudden realization:

The temperature of boiling water is more than sixty-degrees hotter than that of the oral cavity. If one was to directly drink it, the tissues in one's tongue would be damaged by the high temperature.

Then, sensory receptors in the tongue would generate and send pain signals directly to the central nervous system. Afterwards, the central nervous system which has received the signals would cause the person to feel a burning sensation on their tongue.

And then you would exclaim, 'It's Vice-Principal Yu Hua after all!'

'Everything makes sense and every sentence is like gospel!'

…

Just like that, all fifty thousand students were intoxicated as they listened to Vice-Principal Yu Hua speak for two hours.

When An Lin regained his senses, he briefly summed up the two-hour long speech:

The free-for-all battle event would run for three days and be held at the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, which had an area of a few hundred square kilometers.

During the event, participants had to operate individually, while not using elixirs nor seals.

A total of one hundred and eight teachers would be responsible for monitoring the area. Once they found any student that was breaking the rules, they would immediately disqualify the student and send them to the university detention facility to undergo one month of labor reform.

The objective of this event was to: 'Allow students to realize the ruthless nature of the cultivation world earlier through the process of 'pummeling' and 'being pummeled' by other students; allow students to experience the universal law of 'last one standing is king'; spur students to work harder and earnestly raise their cultivation rank.'

After summing up the main points, an expression of admiration spread over An Lin's face.

He couldn't believe that Vice-Principal Yu Hua managed to deliver a two-hour speech just to explain such little content.

More frighteningly, he was actually feeling hyped up during the entire speech!

"It seems that the vice-principal has amazing skill in delivering speeches," An Lin exclaimed softly.

Xu Xiaolan nodded emphatically in agreement when she heard An Lin's remark.

After the vice-principal finished his speech, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao handed a golden seal to every student in his class and told them to place the seal tightly onto their bodies.

This seal was the fabled Defeat Judgement Seal. Before the event ended, the only way for students to leave the battlefield was if this seal activated.

Once all the students finished putting on the Defeat Judgement Seal, Vice-Principal Yu Hua opened his mouth again. His impassioned utterances once again traveled into everyone's ears.

"I now declare The United University of Cultivation's free-for-all battle has officially begun!

"I'll now activate the spell formation. Soon, every student will be teleported to our university's Number Three Forbidden Area—Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. Your arrival site will be randomly selected. Now, please take your time to enjoy this splendid event!"

After he finished speaking, the entire White Jade Plaza was swallowed by a white curtain of light. A gigantic and complex spell formation then appeared on the ground and started operating quickly.

An Lin felt a rush of dizziness before his vision became dark and he passed out.

…

After an unknown length of time, he finally started to slowly regain his consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of numerous mountain peaks that pierced through the clouds like sharp swords.

Surrounding the mountain peaks was a stretch of yellow land.

There was barely any greenery on this piece of land and the ground was mostly covered in crushed stone, giving off a bleak and desolate feel.

An Lin stood up from the ground and looked towards the sky. He discovered that in the sky, there was a dim blue barrier.

That must be the boundary delimiting the competition area. Students were only allowed to operate within these boundaries.

Right at this moment, a jingle sounded in An Lin's mind.

This familiar feeling… it's the system!

An Lin quickly opened the God of War System and eagerly looked towards the interface.

Huh? It's the 'Special Missions' section that's lit up?

On all the previous occasions that An Lin had looked through the God of War System, this 'Special Missions' section was grey. Who would've thought that it would suddenly light up now?

A string of text immediately appeared before his eyes when he curiously opened the special missions' section:

"Detected that host has entered the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. Assigning mission:

"In this event, the host must successfully become a member of the updated Immortal Rankings Board.

"Mission Success: One raffle for the Magic Treasure lottery.

"Mission Failure: Ten days of continuous diarrhea (severity equivalent to that of ingesting the Mountain Soul-Essence).

"Note: This mission cannot be rejected."

An Lin stared blankly at the special mission before him. For some reason, tears started to well up in his eyes.

Become a member of the updated Immortal Rankings Board?

Battling with fifty thousand other prodigies for a position in the top one-hundred? I won't be able to achieve this even if I fight to the death!

Ten days of continuous diarrhea?

That's even more terrible!

Having experienced three days of continuous diarrhea before, An Lin was fully aware of just how frightening this kind of diarrhea was.

Have him experience ten days of continuous diarrhea?

Why not just tell him to die…

Chapter 19: You're Very Famous, You Also Need a Spanking

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a while, An Lin finally accepted this harsh reality.

If I'm going to die either way, I might as well put up a bit of a struggle before I die…

The scenery at the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks was very dull. Earthly-yellow soil and crushed rocks filled the place and even the thousands of sword-like mountain peaks were completely bare.

"Ah… Apart from fighting, aren't there any other interesting things to do in this event?" An Lin placed his hands behind his head as he wandered around aimlessly.

The fifty thousand students were scattered all over the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, which was hundreds of square kilometers in area. If one wanted to come across another student, the only way to do so was by continually moving forward.

After walking for a short while, An Lin heard the sounds of a battle coming from right in front of him. The roars of spells sounded non-stop and occasionally there were cries of pain.

When An Lin finally hurried over, what he saw was this:

A student had already collapsed to the floor and a golden defensive barrier had appeared around his body.

Huh, so that's what happens when the Defeat Judgement Seal is activated?

An Lin hid behind a rock and peeked towards the battleground.

Shit, this is way too brutal!

Look at the dude who's collapsed on the floor; he's been cut a few times, hasn't he?

The Defeat Judgement Seal can only be activated after sustaining such severe injuries?

The more An Lin looked, the more frightened he became. Too scary, this event is way too scary… At this moment, An Lin had already developed the urge to escape.

At the same time, numerous strange and unusual symbols appeared on the golden defensive barrier.

Immediately afterwards, the injured dude suddenly disappeared. It appeared as if he had been teleported out of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

The victorious male smiled triumphantly and brandished his red-colored sword for a bit before looking towards a certain location.

An Lin felt a cold chill as an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

"You behind the rock, stop hiding. I've already discovered you."

The male was looking directly towards An Lin's hiding place.

An Lin had no other choice upon hearing this and could only muster his courage and appear before the person.

The male who was brandishing the red sword looked fairly ordinary. The only notable point was that he was especially tall and sturdy, making him appear as if he was filled with strength and power.

He was surprised when he saw that it was An Lin who had appeared. "Huh? I think I've seen you somewhere before."

Huh? Seen me?

An Lin stared at the unfamiliar face of the male in front of him and couldn't recall where he had seen him at all.

"You're An Lin, the first-year student, correct?" the male asked.

"That's right." An Lin was feeling puzzled but answered the male's question anyway.

Hearing An Lin's answer, the male instantly started roaring with laughter. "Just as I thought. Your appearance is exactly like that of the portrait on the 'University Famous Persons Register'. Can't go wrong with that."

An Lin was startled when he heard this. The 'University Famous Persons Register'? I've become a famous person?

Although he didn't know what this was about, he still felt elated when he heard the male's comment.

However, An Lin was completely dumbfounded by what the male said next.

"I've wanted to beat you up since ages ago. Who knew that the Heavens would be so kind and send you to me so quickly. Bahahaha…" The male was clearly in a pretty good mood at this moment.

"Say, brother, have I ever provoked you in any way?!" A string of curses raced through An Lin's mind.

What was with this brawny male who suddenly appeared and seemed to have a profound hatred for him… More importantly, he didn't recognize this person at all!

"Cut the crap! I'm Second-year, Class Seven's Li Zhengyang. An Lin, show me what you've got!"

As he finished saying this, the brawny male pointed his red-colored sword at An Lin and an astonishing aura exploded from his body.

An Lin stared at the male, stupefied.

Holy f*ck, how is it possible that I have connections to a senior from the second year?

And this extremely terrifying aura… It's f*cking killing intent, isn't it?!

Before An Lin could even come back to his senses, another male appeared in the distance.

"Huh? You're An Lin?" The male looked at An Lin as he slowly walked over.

An Lin looked towards the young male who had a heart-warming smile on his face.

For some reason, An Lin felt a sense of security when he saw this smile.

"That's correct, I'm An Lin!"

As if he had found a saving grace, An Lin immediately answered the male.

He could already imagine how the male—who gave him a sense of security—would generously help him and beat Li Zhengyang to a pulp.

"Hehe, it really is you…"

A shadow suddenly fell across the face of the male who was smiling warmly. "Third-year, Class Twenty-six, Zhong Wen. An Lin, show me what you've got!" he said coldly.

When he finished speaking, he took out a meteor hammer 1 and an astonishing aura exploded from his body.

An Lin was stupefied once again and was now rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

What kind of joke is this? What heinous crimes have I committed?!

Right at this moment, another student appeared before them.

"Woah! What's going on here, and why does it seem so lively?" A frail male, who had the air of an intellect, walked over with an expression of curiosity.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. "Huh? Are you An Lin?"

Tears welled up in An Lin's eyes. "I think you've got the wrong person… I'm not An Lin!" he denied.

"Haha! I read a lot, don't try to fool me! Your appearance is exactly like that of the portrait on the 'University Famous Persons Register'!" the scholar said to An Lin, a look of joy on his face.

When he finished speaking, he took out a metallic-looking fan and a powerful aura exploded from his body.

"Fifth-year, Class Ninety, Chen Shubao. An Lin, show me what you've got!"

An Lin felt as if he had been crushed by ten-thousand grass mud horses 2 and didn't even have the energy to speak anymore.

Anyhow, what exactly is the University Famous Persons Register?

And what kind of enmity even exists between me and these seniors?!

From first-year to fifth-year, all we're missing now is someone from fourth-year. Hurry up and come! Don't frustrate the OCDs to death!

Right at this moment, a sweet female voice sounded from behind An Lin.

"Huh? Are you An Lin?"

An Lin was a bit dazed as he turned around. Then, he saw a cute girl who was dressed in pink clothes smiling at him.

It really was a unique type of consolation to An Lin that a beautiful girl would suddenly appear just as he was about to be bullied and humiliated by a bunch of guys.

Before he could say anything, the cute girl started nodding to herself. "When I saw your clothes, I already felt a sense of familiarity. Now that I've seen your face, I've already confirmed your identity!"

When she finished speaking, the girl drew a dagger—which had a dazzling gleam—from her pink clothes.

"First-year, Class Nine, Xia Shiyao. An Lin, show me what you've got!"

An Lin sniffled. He was feeling a bit depressed.

It turned out that not only was it males that had a bone to pick with him, but even females wanted to tear him up…

Anyhow, what heinous crimes have I committed? Why do I have no recollection of them? Don't tell me that I've lost my memory?!

Four students, with whom An Lin was completely unfamiliar, were seething with killing intent as they pointed their weapons at him.

In this peculiar moment, An Lin recalled something that Xu Xiaolan had once said to him.

"Don't worry! In the free-for-all battle event, only fewer than ten students die from mishaps each time!"

Perhaps, he was fortune's favorite amongst these 'fewer than ten students'.

Just as An Lin was feeling a great sense of despair, another voice sounded.

"Huh? Are you An Lin?"

An Lin: "…"

Chapter 20: The Reprehensible An Lin

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing this familiar opening remark, An Lin had already given up hope. "Do you also want me to 'show you what I'm made of'?" An Lin said with a defeated expression on his face.

"Show me what you're made of?"

The expression of the male faltered. He then looked towards the surrounding students—who were emitting auras of killing intent—and seemingly came to a realization.

Only now did An Lin move his eyes to the male who had suddenly appeared.

After seeing the appearance of the male, a look of surprise appeared on An Lin's face.

"Haha, I've got the wrong person. Sorry."

The male chuckled and turned around.

Then, he sprinted away, leaving only a trail of dust behind him…

Besides the male, there was also a white dog which was running even faster than him…

"Zhao Huaiyin! Don't leave me to die!" An Lin cried in despair.

The person who had suddenly appeared was none other than the friend that An Lin had met in the detention facility.

He slipped away extremely quickly at this moment and had soon disappeared from An Lin's sight…

Seeing this, the meteor hammer-wielding Zhong Wen chuckled, "Junior An Lin, even if you scream till your throat is sore, no one will come to save you. Come and fight me obediently."

"I clearly arrived here first! First come, first serve, I'm going first!" Li Zhengyang, who had a red-colored sword in his hand, was glaring at An Lin and seemed ready to make some trouble.

"What do you mean let you go first? Once you go up, you'll pummel An Lin until his Defeat Judgement Seal is activated and his defensive shield appears. How can we fight him then?" Chen Shubao said in discontent.

"But if we all attack together, we'll be disqualified. We'll even be locked up in detention for breaking the event rules," Xia Shiyao said anxiously.

An Lin was like a little white rabbit awaiting his slaughter and could only stand to the side and shiver.

"How about this, we'll all give our reasons for why we want to 'see what An Lin's made of'.

"The opportunity will be given to whoever has the best reason. What do you guys say?" suggested Chen Shubao, who had a strong air of bookishness about him.

Hearing Chen Shubao's suggestions, An Lin's eyes brimmed with tears of excitement.

He finally had the opportunity to understand the reasons behind his forthcoming death.

The remaining students all agreed with Chen Shubao's suggestion.

Then, they all turned their attention back to An Lin. The expression in their eyes was as if they wanted to swallow him alive.

There was a look of discontent on Chen Shubao's face as he looked at An Lin. "When I first entered the university, my cultivation base was Fifth Stage Dao Body. Due to the fact that my rank wasn't high, I was put into Class Ninety, and to this, I had no complaints.

"In these four years, I've put in effort and hard work, and have finally reached the Eighth Stage Dao Body now. Even amongst students of the same year level, this can be considered as an average standard.

"However, a few months ago, I heard that there was a new student named An Lin who entered the university with a Zeroth Stage Dao Body. In spite of this, he was allocated into Class One!

"The smaller the class number, the more teaching resources are allocated to the class. For what reason was he able to occupy a spot in Class One and use the resources meant for other outstanding students? Simply because he had a True God's letter of recommendation?

"To students like me who toil in the lower ranked classes, such an act is a massive insult!

"After learning of this matter, I made a decision. I decided that I definitely had to find an opportunity to beat up An Lin. Backdoor entrants truly are detestable!"

Chen Shubao smiled at An Lin when he finished speaking. This was a smile of someone who was about to realize their dreams…

Seeing this smile, An Lin felt a chill shoot through his body. So, it turns out that this enemy was a result of him being the 'most networked backdoor entrant'.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengyang started speaking. "Ah… Every time I mention this, my heart starts to hurt.

"On a small lane in the university, I met a girl. It was love at first sight. She was beautiful and noble, like a phoenix soaring in the skies.

"That day, I confessed to her but was ruthlessly rejected.

"But I, Li Zhengyang, am not one to easily give up. I started pursuing her relentlessly, I was going to capture her heart with the flames of my affection.

"Yet, a few days later, she told me the cruel truth.

"She said that she already had a dao partner!

"It was as if I had fallen into a pit of ice and my life descended into darkness.

"Although I didn't want to believe it, I observed that she often walked to school with this male and also ate with him. They appeared cheerful and lively, and very intimate with each other. I had no choice but to accept this reality.

"But I didn't want to accept this fact! What was so good about the male? What was so special about him that he could attract the attention of my goddess?!

"There was a time when this became an obstruction in my heart. Thus, I swore that I would definitely find an opportunity to beat up that male!

"Oh, that's right. The girl that I like is called Xu Xiaolan.

"An Lin… I really don't understand. Why would she choose you to be her dao partner?!"

Raging flames—which were akin to Li Zhengyang's anger-filled face—burst forth from his red-colored sword as he finished speaking.

An Lin was stupefied when he heard this, and he felt like spewing blood.

Dao partner? Xu Xiaolan?

If the male didn't mention this, An Lin would never have known that Xu Xiaolan had already used him as a shield!

"Brother, this is a misunderstanding. It's all just a misunderstanding!" An Lin cried.

With the fury Li Zhengyang was feeling, how could he calmly listen to An Lin explain?

Regardless of what An Lin said now, the others would simply think that he was finding excuses to escape from battle.

"Hmph! An Lin, who would've thought that you already have a dao partner!"

After hearing Li Zhengyang's comments, Zhong Wen also became furious.

"In spite of already having a dao partner, your relationship with our university's number one goddess, Su Qianyun, is still so dubious!

"Every time I see Su Qianyun's portrait on the University Famous Persons Register, my heart beats uncontrollably in my chest. I especially admire her, and I've been completely conquered by her beauty.

"For what reason would such an aloof person—who pays no attention to others—stay back at school often, together with a male? I absolutely can't bear to stand this reality!

"Especially since that male already has a dao partner!

"Phew…

"An Lin, you and I are sworn enemies!"

Zhong Wen's meteor hammer started trembling, evidently unable to bear with its hunger and thirst.

An Lin's mind felt exhausted.

The only reason he stayed back in the classroom with Su Qianyun was to help with her Chinese and English!

Say, why was it that even this was able to attract envy and hate?!

At this moment, Xia Shiyao also started to bitterly criticize An Lin's actions.

"On one bright and beautiful spring afternoon, I was just about to hurry to the dining hall to collect my favorite strawberry dessert. This dessert was a limited offer and was served on a first come first serve basis.

"Then, I suddenly heard that after school that day, two students would be engaging in a magnificent battle of spells near the flowerbed in front of the teaching block.

"This battle managed to intrigue me, thus, I reluctantly gave up my strawberry dessert in order to witness this battle which had attracted such widespread attention.

"What I witnessed afterwards was a battle that I was unable to forget for a long time. When I got home, I washed my eyes many times, yet I still couldn't wash the memory of that battle from my mind!"

An Lin: "…"

Xia Shiyao's eyes were brimming with tears as she glared angrily at An Lin. "Because I went to spectate your battle, not only did I miss out on the opportunity to get the limited offer strawberry dessert, my eyes were also soiled…

"An Lin, this matter must be settled!"

An Lin wanted to cry. Why was it that even his battle with Liu Dabao was able to attract such strong enmity?

"Xia Shiyao, missing out on a strawberry dessert is a small matter. The fact that he snatched away my true love is a much bigger matter!" Li Zhengyang reasoned.

"No, the fact that he is the most networked backdoor entrant is still the most detestable!" Chen Shubao said solemnly.

"The fact that our university's number one goddess is in a dubious relationship with such sh*t is the biggest blow, okay?!" Zhong Wen retorted.

"I don't care! I have to be the one who beats up An Lin today, or else I won't be able to swallow my anger!" Xia Shiyao persisted.

Just like this, the four students relentlessly criticized An Lin's countless crimes. As for who would be the one to beat him up, they once again fell into dispute.

The air was filled with murderous intent. Little white rabbit 1 An Lin's eyes were hazy with tears, as he finally realized that he was 'guilty of the most heinous crimes'.

How about I disembowel myself to apologize for the offenses I've committed?

An Lin couldn't see even the faintest glimmer of hope. His only wish now was for these four people to grant him a quick and painless death…

Chapter 21: The Little White Rabbit's Counterattack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Beyond the dim blue barrier, a gigantic book was suspended in the air above the area An Lin was in.

On the book there lay a tall and slender woman with slightly curly hair and red glasses.

Black silk leggings covered her long and well-proportioned legs which were bent upwards and she had a smile on her face as she looked down towards the ground.

"Tsk tsk. The kids below are so interesting. Being the subject representative for mortal studies, An Lin better not bring any shame upon my subject. At the very least, he should lose with some dignity." Her lips curled into a smile as she fixed her bright and piercing eyes onto the students below.

This female was none other than An Lin's mortal studies teacher, Earth Immortal Yue Ying. She was currently responsible for overlooking the battles in the region An Lin was in.

The fact that An Lin was completely surrounded by a few aggressive and overbearing students had her greatly intrigued.

Afterwards, something even more interesting occurred.

In order to win the opportunity to beat An Lin up, the four students started arguing endlessly amongst one another.

Right at this moment, little white rabbit An Lin couldn't help but open his mouth to speak.

"Um… I think you guys should battle it out to see who is most suitable to become my opponent."

Upon hearing An Lin's suggestion, everyone suddenly fell silent.

…

"Yeah, you're right! How come I didn't think of this?" Zhong Wen exclaimed in realization.

"That's a good suggestion. If a problem can't be solved through discussions, then it can only be solved through force." Li Zhengyang's eyes also lit up at this suggestion.

"The observer sees clear 1 ; An Lin has finally thought up a good solution." Chen Shubao nodded his head in approval.

"Then let us draw lots to decide our opponents!" Xia Shiyao said eagerly.

Just like that, the four of them started cheerfully drawing lots…

An Lin was hiding to the side and there was, in fact, something else he didn't dare say out loud: Don't you guys realize that you could directly decide who gets to beat me up through drawing lots?

Of course, as long as he hadn't become sick and tired of living yet, he would never say this out loud.

Just like that, the battles began.

The first match was between First-year, Class Nine's Xia Shiyao and Third-year, Class Twenty-six's Zhong Wen.

Both of them emitted an extremely astonishing aura as soon as the battle began.

They were both on the same rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body, thus, to have a chance at victory, they needed to use their full strength.

As a result, the battle was extremely intense right from the start.

There was an insane amount of force behind Zhong Wen's meteor hammer, with every strike smashing a deep pit in the ground.

He was confident that the battle would be over as soon as his meteor hammer struck Xia Shiyao once.

However, Xia Shiyao was a cultivator of the agile ilk and her petite figure moved swiftly, leaving only streaks of pink afterimages on the ground. This made it very difficult for Zhong Wen to pinpoint her exact location.

The meteor hammer whistled over, and Xia Shiyao nimbly dodged it, before rushing towards Zhong Wen with great speed.

"Heehee, you're too slow!"

Xia Shiyao squinted her eyes and smiled, her cute little canine teeth protruding out. The dagger in her hand stabbed ruthlessly towards Zhong Wen.

There was a flash and the extremely sharp dagger easily penetrated Zhong Wen's chest.

"Ah!" Zhong Wen screamed in pain as he stumbled backwards.

Xia Shiyao pulled the dagger out and followed up her attack quickly as Zhong Wen's blood sprayed out. The sharp dagger once again became a deadly blur as it stabbed towards Zhong Wen's body.

Zhong Wen screamed in pain as his blood gushed out. After a short while, his body was covered in wounds and his upper garment was drenched in blood.

The speed of the girl in front of him had made Zhong Wen feel a sense of despair. No matter how he counterattacked, he couldn't land a blow on her. He was on the back foot and could do nothing as he was repeatedly stabbed.

The spectating An Lin was absolutely terrified by what he saw.

He's going to die! Student Xia Shiyao is about to kill somebody!

The image of a petite and cute girl transforming into a bloodthirsty killer and ruthlessly hacking at her senior was already deeply seared into An Lin's mind.

Finally, a golden defensive barrier appeared around Zhong Wen's body, signaling his defeat.

"Senior, thanks for letting me win 2 ," Xia Shiyao said cheerily.

She sheathed her dagger and clasped her hands behind her back, once again regaining the demeanor of a cute little girl.

Zhong Wen held his bleeding body and glanced at the girl before him in pain.

He sighed softly and remained silent as he was teleported out of the event battleground.

Xia Shiyao turned her head back and glanced at An Lin, raising her eyebrows in provocation before turning her attention to the other battle.

Xia Shiyao's glance made An Lin's skin crawl with goosebumps.

No, please don't let the final victor be her! An Lin roared in his mind.

An Lin would rather have a meteor hammer knock him unconscious with one blow than being stabbed repeatedly with a small knife. Being stabbed in such a manner was far too frightening!

At this moment, the battle between Chen Shubao and Li Zhengyang had also come to an end.

It took Li Zhengyang quite some effort to defeat his opponent, with his clothes now tattered and streaks of blood visible on his firm muscles. He was also panting furiously from overexerting himself.

Seeing Li Zhengyang in such a state, An Lin was secretly worried.

Xia Shiyao pretty much crushed Zhong Wen. Now that she's facing off against an injured Li Zhengyang, won't she easily crush him as well?

Li Zhengyang was also slightly surprised when he realized that his opponent was Xia Shiyao. Evidently, he didn't expect her to be the victor.

Soon after, the battle between Xia Shiyao and Li Zhengyang erupted.

Li Zhengyang performed much better than An Lin had anticipated, and the battle didn't become a one-sided affair.

Even though Li Zhengyang wasn't in a good state, he still had a rank of Ninth Stage Dao Body after all. Adding the fact that his swordsmanship was exquisite and overbearing, he was temporarily able to be on equal footing with Xia Shiyao.

Xia Shiyao was starting to feel a little anxious that the unpredictable attacks of her dagger were unable to penetrate Li Zhengyang's defenses.

Dashing Shadow Stab!

The shadow of a black blade appeared on the dagger which was rushing towards Li Zhengyang and it suddenly extended, stabbing at Li Zhengyang.

This was Xia Shiyao's strongest skill, of which she had kept concealed. The shadow blade transformed into a sword which had more than triple the speed and power of her previous attacks.

This move consumed a large amount of her spiritual energy, thus she needed to end the battle quickly after using this move.

Li Zhengyang didn't have time to dodge and the shadow blade pierced through his body.

Li Zhengyang didn't retreat after being struck. Instead, he took a step forwards and slashed at Xia Shiyao with his red blade which was shrouded in raging flames.

Bursting Flame Slash!

Boom!

The flames exploded and the ground within a three-meter area was pulverized.

A petite figure, which appeared to be in extremely dire straits, leapt out of the smoke. Her pink clothes were slightly tattered from the explosion and there were burns on her body.

"You actually dare to damage my beautiful clothes? Very well…"

Xia Shiyao spat out a mouthful of blood and a cold look appeared in her eyes. She raised her dagger and once again rushed towards the male who was now standing amidst the smoke and dust.

Immediately, there was another burst of explosions.

"Bursting Flame Slash!"

"Dashing Shadow Stab!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An Lin started to sense that the two of them were now beginning to fight with no regard for their own lives.

Xia Shiyao was hellbent on stabbing Li Zhengyang, even if it meant that she would be cut by his sword.

Li Zhengyang was even crazier, continuously using his Bursting Flame Slash on Xia Shiyao…

An Lin watched on dumbfounded. "Good heavens! They've both gone crazy!" he exclaimed.

Finally, during an explosion, Xia Shiyao spat out blood and flew backwards. She collapsed to the floor and a golden barrier appeared around her.

Xia Shiyao still wanted to stand up and fight, and her expression made it clear that she was unwilling to accept defeat.

However, the teleportation function of the spell formation activated at this moment and her body suddenly disappeared…

"Haha, I'm the final victor!"

A brawny male who was bathed in blood laughed triumphantly as he walked out of the battle with the poise of a victor.

Li Zhengyang's body was swaying as he stopped in front of An Lin, and he coughed up some blood from time to time.

"Oi, senior, are you able to continue?"

A string of curses raced through An Lin's mind as he looked at the senior in front of him, who appeared as if he was going to die any second.

You're already so bloody injured, how has the Defeat Judgement Seal still not activated?!

"Men cannot say that they are unable to continue!" Li Zhengyang roared. He waved his sleeves and pointed his red sword at An Lin.

"Come, my rival in love. I'm in a bad state right now so I'm unable to pummel you slowly.

"I'll use my strongest sword strike and finish you off with one hit!"

An Lin: "…"

"Bursting Flame Flying Slash!"

Li Zhengyang feigned a slash towards An Lin and a blazing sword aura rushed fiercely towards him.

As Li Zhengyang had already exhausted most of his power, the force of his strike was much weaker than before.

However, Li Zhengyang was confident that towards trash like An Lin, such a strike was more than enough!

An Lin didn't want to speak and replied with his Mountain Quaking Fist.

The shadow of the golden fist possessed boundless power as it collided loudly with the blazing sword aura.

Afterwards, much to the disbelief of Li Zhengyang, the blazing sword was shattered by the golden fist, which then smashed into his body.

"Pfff!" Li Zhengyang was tossed into the air by An Lin's strike, and the massive force from the fist made him feel as if his bones had been crushed. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and tumbled to the ground.

"How is this possible! How is it possible that you are this strong…"

Li Zhengyang was clearly unable to accept this reality and he stared at An Lin with a look of shock in his eyes.

An Lin was also slightly surprised as he looked towards his own fist.

Even he himself felt that his fist appeared to be a bit too powerful.

However, An Lin came to his senses quickly and remembered that there was only one thing he should be doing in such a moment.

He clasped his hands behind his back and calmly looked towards Li Zhengyang.

"So that's all you've got?" An Lin said slowly.

"How extremely disappointing. This was such a boring battle!"

An Lin looked down upon Li Zhengyang and shook his head in disappointment, a look of 'kingly contempt' appearing in his eyes.

"You…!" Li Zhengyang's blood boiled and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

The slow-coming golden defensive barrier finally appeared around Li Zhengyang's body.

"I can't accept this!" Li Zhengyang wasn't accepting of such an ending.

Why is it that I struggled so much to win the opportunity to beat up An Lin but ended up being beaten by him instead?!

If he had a fair contest with An Lin, the outcome would definitely have been different!

Perhaps Li Zhengyang would never realize that An Lin had already foreseen such an ending when he made his suggestion for them to battle it out…

Seeing Li Zhengyang finally disappear, the corners of An Lin's mouth tugged into a smile.

"Hehe, I thought there would still be an intense battle. Who knew that it would go better than expected.

"You really thought that I was a little white rabbit awaiting his death? What a joke!

"If I truly had no intention of putting up any resistance, I would have slipped away much earlier when you guys were fighting each other.

"You've got to realize that my rank has also reached the Seventh Stage Dao Body! Even if I can't defeat him, I can at least escape!"

An Lin experienced the thrill of dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger 3 and finishing off an injured opponent.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Huh? Are you An Lin?"

An Lin: "…"

Chapter 22: Lining Up to be Defeated

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing this sentence again, An Lin was about to go insane.

What the hell is with this sinister cycle?

"Ahhhh!" An Lin swung his fist backwards violently.

"Big Brother An Lin, please spare me!"

Sensing the frightening power contained within An Lin's fist, the male was frightened to his knees.

Hearing this familiar voice, An Lin's fist froze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Liu Dabao?!"

The newcomer was slightly plump, and his appearance made him seem completely harmless. Right now, he was looking at An Lin with an eager expression on his face.

He was none other than Liu Dabao, who An Lin had befriended after their slight tussle.

Up in the sky, Earth Immortal Yue Ying sat upon a gigantic book. Her hands danced about quickly as she recorded data onto her notebook.

Li Zhengyang—Combat Capability: 120; Achievement Score: 40; Note: Defeated by An Lin.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 100; Achievement Score: 28.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's lips curled into a slight smile as she recorded An Lin's data.

"Ha, this kid has performed unexpectedly well. He was actually able to pull off such a counterattack."

She appeared to be deep in thought as she readjusted her red-framed glasses and swayed her legs about.

"I remember that he only had a Zeroth Stage Dao Body when he enrolled, right?

"However, judging by the aura he emitted when he was fighting just then, it appears as if he has already reached the Seventh Stage Dao Body.

"Such terrifying advancement speed… Is he hacking?"

Right at this moment, Liu Dabao suddenly appeared behind An Lin.

Behind Liu Dabao, there were another dozen or so students.

"Haha, it can't be that these students are also here to trouble An Lin. Could it be that An Lin has a trouble-attracting physique?"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying had a smile on her face as she saw this interesting scene, and she once again cast her sight in An Lin's direction.

…

Seeing the unfamiliar group of students behind Liu Dabao, An Lin's eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Why are you here? It can't be that you're here to fight me, right?" An Lin questioned.

Liu Dabao waved his hands vigorously. "I wouldn't dare! Big Brother An's superb skills are unparalleled. Even if I was to fight you, I would have no chance of winning!"

What he spoke was the truth. When he had just arrived, he saw An Lin displaying his invincible might and beating Li Zhengyang down with a single blow of his fist.

The clash of immortal spells was visually stunning and left Liu Dabao shocked. Regardless of how confident he was, he wouldn't dare fight against the present An Lin.

"Even after a short absence, people change and should be judged anew," Liu Dabao shook his head and sighed.

Liu Dabao was both astonished and envious of the fact that An Lin had suddenly become so strong, and he dearly wished that he could be in An Lin's position.

Hearing that Liu Dabao wasn't here to pick a fight with him, An Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Right at this moment, the system sounded, and a notification appeared:

"Congratulations! You have successfully defeated an enemy who has an Eighth Stage Dao Body or above. You have now ranked up to the Eighth Stage Dao Body!"

At this moment, An Lin could feel his power increasing by leaps and bounds, and his bones and muscles also became purer and stronger.

He was overjoyed with the transformation taking place within his body, and numerous thoughts appeared in his mind.

The fact that the system recognized a last hit 1 as defeating an opponent was welcoming news to An Lin.

Next, he needed to continue performing last hits.

I'll definitely become the 'Last Hit King'!

The reason that An Lin was so eager to perform last hits was because the condition for ranking up had already changed to the following:

"Ninth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Defeat ten enemies who have a Ninth Stage Dao Body or above head-on."

To the past An Lin, defeating ten enemies ranked Ninth Stage Dao Body or above was an unfathomable task. Now, however, there was a chance.

If he couldn't defeat them head-on, he could simply perform last hits!

Just as An Lin's thoughts were running wild, Liu Dabao opened his mouth again.

"Big Brother An, after seeing you display your invincible might, I have a favor to ask of you."

"M-hm, go on, what might that be?"

An Lin was a bit curious. Forming teams was forbidden in the free-for-all battle. Under such conditions, what help could he provide?

"It's like this," Liu Dao cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I wish for Big Brother An to defeat me!"

An Lin: "…"

So, in the end, I still need to fight?

Liu Dabao appeared as if he was ready to die a martyr's death. "Who since the ancient times has not died? To die by the hands of a brother is an honorable and just end to this life!"

The corners of An Lin's mouth twitched as he finally understood Liu Dabao's intentions. "You want me to beat you until the Defeat Judgement Seal activates so you can escape this bloody place, right?"

"My goodness brother! Even if you see through my plans, you don't need to lay it so bare!" Liu Dabao moaned, "Coming here with a rank such as mine, I can only act as a punching bag!"

As he said this, Liu Dabao glanced towards the group of students behind him. "If one is too weak, it is impossible for them to beat the Defeat Judgement Seal of another into activation. That said, the attacks of stronger students are far too fierce, and might cripple us in one blow. It would be truly tormenting if we became unable to leave our sickbeds for half a month," he continued.

"It truly is a blessing to meet Brother An now.

"All we ask now is for you to control your strength and beat our golden defensive barriers into activation!"

Liu Dabao gripped An Lin's hands and looked keenly towards him, a pleading expression etched on his face.

An Lin drew a deep breath, unsure of what expression to wear when facing this group.

Lining up to be defeated… Do you accept this gift or not?

Just like this, Earth Immortal Yue Ying—who was beyond the boundary of the battle arena—once again witnessed something farcical.

Below her, the students lined up to fight with An Lin. Then, with a single strike, they were all dispatched by him…

"First-year, Class One-hundred, Liu Dabao. Student An Lin, please enlighten me!" shouted Liu Dabao as he rushed towards An Lin.

Then, he was sent flying by An Lin's one-tenth power Mountain Quaking Fist.

The enormous force of the strike had Liu Dabao vomiting blood as he tumbled to the ground, and the massive difference in power instantly activated his Defeat Judgement Seal.

Amidst the golden barrier, Liu Dabao looked at An Lin gratefully and an expression of happiness appeared on his face…

"First-year, Class One-hundred, Li Yuanqing. Student An Lin, please enlighten me!"

Then, Li Yuanqing was sent flying by a single strike of An Lin's fist. Amidst the golden barrier, he had an expression of happiness as he looked towards An Lin…

"First-year, Class Ninety-nine, Song Jingwu. Student An Lin, please enlighten me!"

…

Earth Immortal Yue Ying slapped her forehead and didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the events unfolding below her.

She hesitated for a moment before continuously increasing An Lin's achievement score.

Every time An Lin defeated a student, his achievement score would increase by five points. After all, even such weaklings were human resources and counted for something.

Finally, when An Lin defeated the last student, his data read: Combat Capability: 100; Achievement Score: 108.

The weighted score of combat capability and achievement score was what the updated Immortal Rankings Board would be based upon.

An Lin's combat capability still remained the same, yet his achievement score had increased by leaps and bounds. This was all thanks to Liu Dabao and the group of students who had lined up to be defeated!

"Student An Lin truly is fortunate! However, if he keeps walking forward…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying watched the advancing An Lin with anticipation.

He had expended most of his energy defeating the dozen or so students.

An Lin planned to continue wandering around after finding a place to rest and recover his strength.

Looking into the distance, he could see that ahead of him lay a small mountain covered in greenery.

In this bare land, it was extremely rare to come across an area with vegetation. What was most lacking in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks was food and water.

After seeing the small mountain, An Lin knew that his food and water problems had been solved.

Just like that, he started to walk excitedly towards the small mountain.

Chapter 23: Young Sorceress

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After reaching the Eighth Stage Dao Body, An Lin was able to start using the 'Earth' category cultivation methods.

"Stage One Earth Lotus Supreme Skill—Condition: Cultivate atop Black Rock Peak for one day."

Black Rock Peak was a very famous mountain peak in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. It was rumored that the mountain was pitch-black and smooth, and that it was impossible to climb up bare-handed.

If one wanted to reach the summit of Black Rock Peak, their only choice would be to fly up.

"Ah… If only I could perform Sword Kinesis Flight 1 ," An Lin exclaimed gloomily.

Sword Kinesis Flight was a skill that could only be mastered by cultivators of or above the Spirit Nurturing rank.

His rank was insufficient, thus, even if he had grasped the theoretical principles of Sword Kinesis Flight, he would still be unable to fly.

Since I'm unable to fly, I might as well put aside the cultivation of the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill for now…

An Lin stopped pondering about matters relating to the system. His most important objective right now was to reach the small mountain ahead of him.

Of course, there was another relatively important matter, that being finding last hit targets.

It was only in this free-for-all battle that he would have the chance to openly perform last hits. Outside this arena, where would he be able to find so many critically injured people to attack?

In no time, An Lin found a critically injured senior.

He had hurried here by following the sounds of battle, and right as he arrived, he spotted the senior who had just emerged victorious.

Without a second thought, An Lin leapt out. After briefly introducing himself, he kicked into action and started to chase and beat the senior student incessantly.

That's right, he was chasing the senior student in order to beat him…

Knowing that he was in a bad state and no match for An Lin, the senior had chosen to escape.

However, how could An Lin let such a prey escape from under his nose? Thus, he didn't hesitate for a second before giving chase.

"Ha! Eat my fist!"

An Lin caught up to the senior and struck at him with his Mountain Quaking Fist.

The Mountain Quaking Fist was extremely powerful and instantly obliterated the defensive spell cast by the senior. Then, the remaining power of the strike blew him off his feet.

A golden defensive barrier started to materialize around the senior who had tumbled to the ground and was vomiting blood.

Upon seeing this, An Lin smiled triumphantly.

"F*ck you An Lin! Do you have no moral integrity?!"

The senior student let loose a torrent of abuse. He had never seen such a shameless person before.

Faced with the senior's abuse, An Lin was completely unfazed. In order to complete the system's mission, An Lin had already tossed all his moral integrity aside.

After the pitiable senior was teleported out of the event arena, An Lin went to check up on his system: "Mission progress: 1/10."

An Lin nodded in satisfaction and continued with his 'hunting'.

Not far from the small mountain, An Lin once again heard the sounds of a battle. He started to feel as if luck was on his side.

As he cautiously closed in on the battleground though, An Lin became completely startled. The surrounding spiritual energy swarmed about fiercely and frightening bursts of shockwaves radiated out from the collisions of spells.

These two appear to be a bit too strong…

An Lin hid behind a massive rock and peeked into the distance.

After spotting the two who were fighting, he became stupefied…

"Light Binding!" a young girl with short pink hair cried crisply as she waved her staff about.

A circular halo of light shot out from the staff in her hand.

This circular halo of light moved at incredible speeds and in a split second, had trapped a red-skinned male.

"Roar!"

The male howled loudly. Red flames burst out from his body as he attempted to free himself from the halo of light which was binding him.

The flames from his body soared towards the sky and continuously diffused outwards.

Even from behind the massive rock, An Lin could feel the waves of heat washing over him.

From a distance, the pink-haired girl raised her palms towards the male. A staff decorated with six feathers span rapidly in front of her, and an extremely terrifying amount of energy started to build up.

"My combination attack is invincible! Take this—Final Spark!" the girl cried softly.

An insanely powerful beam of energy burst forth from the staff.

This ray of light was akin to a laser beam as it penetrated through hundreds of meters of space. It scattered the flames of the red-skinned male and pierced through his chest. It then created a long and deep ditch in the earth…

The red-skinned male was unable to speak after being run through by the beam of light, and he vomited blood as he collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a golden defensive barrier materialized around his body.

Even though she had defeated the red-skinned male, the girl with short pink hair didn't appear to be very happy.

It appeared as if she had thought something and she slapped her head in exasperation. "Why?! I should have used the Q·E·R 2 abilities in succession! Are my hands really that clumsy?"

An Lin: "…"

An Lin, who was spectating from afar, was utterly stupefied. Such a striking scene quickly reminded him of a game from Earth—League of Legends.

The girl was extremely beautiful, and splendid clothes adorned her graceful figure.

Short pink hair, a pink and purple sailor costume, white silk leggings and a six-feathered staff… This girl is cosplaying as Star Guardian Lux 3 , isn't she?!

Hang on, she's even able to use 'Light Binding' and 'Final Spark'!

This is already beyond the realm of cosplaying… She's a freakin' real-life sorceress4 !

An Lin's throat felt a bit dry. He no longer wanted to find out why such a strange girl would appear here.

He was covered in cold sweat after watching the battle, and his only thought now was to leave this bloody place as soon as possible.

An Lin had some self-awareness after all. That crushing pressure, that destructive power… That battle was clearly between two strong cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Rank!

Faced with such enemies, his chances of performing a last hit kill were infinitely close to zero.

As the good old adage says, a lean camel that dies of starvation is still bigger than a horse 5 . Besides, this young sorceress had not yet died of starvation after her battle and was still alive and kicking!

An Lin gulped as he weakened his aura and tried to move away stealthily.

However, his body suddenly jolted at this moment. It was as if his entire body had been restricted, and he was completely unable to move.

A dazzling halo of light had encircled An Lin, and it possessed an insanely strong restrictive ability.

Sh*t! I've been discovered!

A cold chill traveled through An Lin's body and he sighed in his mind. What I'm most afraid of has eventuated…

"Haha! I was just worrying about the fact that there was no one to practice my abilities on, and then you suddenly appeared before me!"

The delighted cry of a girl came from behind An Lin.

"I'll definitely complete my Q·E·R triple combo this time!

"M-hm, I can definitely do it!"

Sounds of the girl encouraging herself once again came from behind him.

Q·E·R triple combo? Tears welled up in An Lin's eyes as he heard this.

That Spirit Nurturing ranked red-skinned male was beaten half-dead by a Q·R double combo…

Towards a junior cultivator of the Eighth Stage Dao Body, you really plan on using such a ruthless Q·E·R triple combo?

An Lin sniffled. His instincts told him that if he was struck by the 'Final Spark', he would be done for!

Sure enough, amongst the small and unfortunate group of fewer than ten students that emerged in every free-for-all battle event, there was a spot for him…

Chapter 24: Let's Solo!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When a person is faced with a life-threatening situation, they will always be able to gain superhuman abilities. An Lin was no exception.

When he felt an exceptionally alarming amount of energy gathering behind him, he finally erupted!

"Star Guardian Lux, please spare me! I'm just a bludgeeer!"

In the past, An Lin's voice could only reach one-hundred decibels when shouting. Now that he was threatened with death, he managed to shout at a voice of over two-hundred decibels 1 !

If this didn't count as an outburst, then what did?!

"Hmm?" The girl behind him was slightly surprised and the energy gathered on her staff started to dissipate.

"I-It worked?" An Lin exclaimed in shock.

An Lin felt the pressure behind him recede, and the halo of light binding him also disappeared.

Soon after, he felt someone softly poking him from behind.

He turned around and found that the breathtakingly beautiful girl had already flown before him and was now curiously studying him.

"Who are you? You even know that I'm Star Guardian Lux." The girl tilted her head slightly as she sat atop a six-feathered staff. Her beautiful purple eyes blinked as she looked curiously towards An Lin.

"I'm An Lin and I've come from Earth. I observed that your getup is very similar to a certain character that I've seen in a game. So, in a moment of desperation, I shouted that out," An Lin replied honestly.

"Earth!" Her eyes lit up and she pointed at An Lin. "I remember now! You're our schools most networked backdoor entrant—An Lin!"

An Lin scratched his head and chuckled. It appeared as if he was really famous at the university. Even the young sorceress knew of him and his alias!

Although, he had an urge to cry when he heard this alias…

The girl hopped off her staff and walked before An Lin. "You also know how to play League of Legends 2 , right?" she grinned.

An Lin nodded. When he was at school, he would always play with his classmates, and last season he had reached the Diamond Tier in Ranked Games. He could already be considered as exceptionally good at the game.

"Ah! That's great!"

The girl appeared extremely excited as she took out a mobile phone and handed it to An Lin…

An Lin was rooted to the spot as he stared at the pink large-screen phone in front of him.

"You don't know how to use a mobile phone?" the girl quizzed upon seeing An Lin's dumbfounded expression.

"Yeah, I do know how to use it." An Lin came to his senses and turned the phone on.

A cultivator had just handed him a mobile phone…

This scene was as strange as strange could be!

"Say, what's the meaning of handing me this phone?" An Lin was puzzled.

The girl whipped out another pink large-screen phone. "Let's have a solo battle on LoL. If you win, I'll let you go!" she said excitedly.

An Lin: "…"

A string of curses raced through An Lin's mind and he felt completely baffled!

Say, is this person really a cultivator? It can't be that she's an internet addict from Earth, right?

Also, what is with playing LoL on the phone?

Are you sure this is League of Legends and not Arena of Valor 3 ?! Also, is there even internet in the cultivation world? I've never heard about it!

There were countless complaints An Lin wanted to shout out. However, under the domineering prowess of the young sorceress, all he could do was forcefully endure it and silently tap on the League of Legends icon on the phone…

Sure enough, the Arena of Valor interface appeared when the game opened.

His username was 'Adorable Little Apple'.

After logging in to the game, a window popped up on his screen.

'Pretty Little Apple' has challenged you to a Solo Battle.

This challenge was clearly sent by the girl. So, this phone really can connect to the internet?!

An Lin was astonished. He tapped on 'Accept' and entered the champion selection screen.

After entering this screen, he was completely baffled.

F*ck! Why are the champions in Arena of Valor actually those from League of Legends?!

Right at this moment, the pink-haired girl leaned against An Lin. "The range of the information transmission spell formations on these phones are limited," she said softly. "Come here, let's get closer. That way the signal will be better."

An Lin: "…"

As expected, this was a phone which had undergone magical modifications. Moreover, this game had also undergone magical modifications!

Her talent is far beyond my imagination. Should I praise her 'ingenuity'?

An Lin chose LeBlanc the Deceiver as his champion. He had initially wanted to choose Riven the Exile as his champion, as that was who he was most familiar with. However, he didn't really know how to perform a quick Q·A combo on the mobile version of the game…

After they both picked their champions, the solo battle determining An Lin's fate finally began.

The two of them stared at their screens intently as they sat atop a gigantic rock, and their fingers swiped about the screen furiously.

The girl chose Lux as her champion and even used the Star Guardian Lux skin. It appeared as if she was truly fond of this getup.

If they were playing on a computer and their choice of champions remained the same, An Lin was confident that he could crush her, even if she were Challenger4 ranked. This was completely due to the innate advantage of his champion over hers.

Now that he was faced with a mobile version of League of Legends, An Lin dared not make such bold claims and jinx himself.

Luckily, the abilities in this game had not been altered and the champions still had two passive abilities along with four active abilities. The only difference was that all of these had become active abilities now.

The girl's rule for this solo battle was that whoever destroyed the opponent's Nexus first would be the victor.

This rule dictated that this was going to be a lengthy war of attrition. However, An Lin would not overlook accumulating an advantage in the early stages.

After a minute or two, An Lin became familiar with the controls.

In reality, the controls were not all that different from those in Arena of Valor.

After reaching level two, he decided to have LeBlanc go ahead and expend some mana.

The E ability of the girl's Lady of Luminosity Lux was way off target and exploded behind LeBlanc.

Then, Lux was struck by LeBlanc's Q·W double combo and her health went down by one-third.

An Lin happily moved LeBlanc backwards. When he was casting his ability, he was only struck once by Lux's normal attack.

This interaction is my win , he grinned. Then, he looked towards his health. I've only lost one-third of my health.

Huh? One-third?

An Lin: "…"

Hang on a second. Did I see that incorrectly? Why is my health only on two-thirds?!

An Lin blinked. He was a bit dumbfounded.

At this moment, he was accidentally struck by Lux's A ability. Then, his health fell to one-third…

A frightening suspicion grew in An Lin's mind. His finger trembled as he tapped open Lux's attributes, and he looked nervously towards her stats.

The following stats appeared:

Attack Damage: 65150

Magic Resistance: 25150

An Lin closed the stats window solemnly. With teary eyes, he looked towards the girl beside him. She was in high spirits and completely absorbed in the game.

At this time, his LeBlanc was once again struck by Lux's normal attack.

"First Blood!"

The system's voice appeared to be particularly loud.

"Yeah!" the girl exclaimed loudly as she threw her arms up in excitement.

She then noticed An Lin's expression and turned to face him. "Huh? Why are you staring at me? I know I'm amazingly beautiful, but can you please concentrate on the game. It's bad to lose concentration. What I want is a fair battle!"

A fair battle?

An Lin's lips quivered. He finally mustered up some courage and said, "I have a question. Why are the stats of your Lady of Luminosity buffed…"

"Oh, those?" the girl chuckled. "I really like Lux the Lady of Luminosity, so I used the ability 'God's Blessing' on her!" she explained.

Towards this whimsical and inexplicable answer, An Lin nodded his head solemnly and returned to the game.

He had already understood the connotation behind that sentence. What the girl meant was this:

I'm cheating, what are you going to do about it?

Chapter 25: The Frightening Final Spark

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

I'm so angry! But I still have to maintain my smile.

After all, the in-game Star Guardian Lux only has some stat boosts.

The 'real' Star Guardian Lux sitting next to An Lin though, could blow him up into pieces simply by casting a Final Spark…

Question: In a game, how can one defeat a hacker?

An Lin's answer was this: Use your godly skills to defeat them!

An Lin had already realized that this girl was truly a clumsy player. The abilities she used all missed their targets and he could barely bear to keep watching. All she did was continually smash the A button.

Even though her smashing out A's was still a frightening proposition, An Lin was at least able to see a glimmer of hope.

After LeBlanc the Deceiver revived, An Lin purchased items that would boost his attack stat. He planned to use a combination attack when he reached level six and send Lux straight back to her home base.

An Lin stopped fighting recklessly with her, instead waiting for his minions to develop and his level to increase.

Finally, LeBlanc reached level six. This was the pre-update LeBlanc, thus, he chose to go with the most damaging QEWR combo.

After dodging Lux's Light Binding ability, LeBlanc closed in on her and immediately used Sigil of Malice and Ethereal Chains. At almost exactly the same moment, he also used Distortion and Mimic.

All four abilities hit their target!

An Lin's combo was completed smoothly, and the young sorceress' champion was killed before she even had time to cast a defensive ability.

Seeing her screen become dark, the girl pouted and glanced at An Lin sulkily. "Just you wait, I'll definitely take revenge!" she muttered.

Seeing his attack succeed, a flame of hope reignited in An Lin's heart. After returning to his base he continued to buy items that could increase his magical damage.

Afterwards, all he had to do was dodge her attacks and wait for the cooldown to complete. Then, he could repeat what he had just done…

Remain calm! I can win this!

Lux's Light Binding and Lucent Singularity were unable to hit LeBlanc a single time.

Half of the credit went to An Lin's skillful control and excellent placement; the other half of the credit went to the clumsy player who was controlling Lux the Lady of Luminosity.

The cooldown for An Lin's special ability was almost complete, and the 'real' Star Guardian Lux became increasingly worried.

Time ticked by and as if she had finally come to a resolution, she hovered her finger over the special ability button.

"My light will dispel all the darkness and purify all my enemies!" The pink-haired girl suddenly cried aloud this childish statement and tapped on the special ability icon!

Whoosh!

A pink beam rocketed towards An Lin's champion. Final Spark!

Directly using her special ability?!

An Lin's eyes twitched. He immediately used Distortion and had LeBlanc dash to the side.

From the casting of Lux's Final Spark to the actual firing of the giant laser, there was a moment of delay. Thanks to An Lin's quick reactions, he was able to dodge this powerful attack.

This girl is so impatient! The hit rate of directly casting a special ability isn't all that high. Have I pressured her into making such rash decisions?

An Lin breathed a sigh of relief and his lips curled up into a slight smile.

In any case, this interaction was threatening but not dangerous and his opponent had also lost their cool. Wasn't this great news to him?

Soon afterwards, the sounds of explosions came from the phone. Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huh? Was the special ability's sound effect like this?

An Lin looked towards his screen. Then, he realized that under the attack of the Final Spark, his three defensive turrets had…

All exploded… exploded…

He was stupefied once again. He glanced towards the girl beside him and couldn't help but say, "May I ask… what's up with this ability?"

"Ah? This ability is Final Spark!" the girl answered bluntly without even raising her head.

"Final Spark? Whose Final Spark can destroy three turrets at once!" An Lin finally erupted.

A champion who could destroy turrets with a single cast of their special ability… What chance did he have?! Even if you hack, can you please at least maintain some moral integrity?

The girl didn't become angry upon hearing An Lin's complaints. Rather, she started earnestly explaining the situation to him. "Look here, Lux's special ability is called 'Final Spark'. As the name implies, it is the most powerful light wave.

"Since it is the most powerful light wave, isn't it unreasonable for the defensive turrets to remain unharmed when they are hit? So, all I did was make some small adjustments so that the effects of this ability would be more logical and reasonable."

Hearing this explanation, An Lin raged in his mind.

F*ck your logic! F*ck your reason!

This Final Spark has already become an ability that can destroy the heavens, destroy the earth, and destroy the void! You call this logic and reason?!

An Lin really wanted to smash the phone. However, he was no match for the 'real' Star Guardian Lux.

If he really did smash the phone, what awaited him was a real-life Final Spark…

Considering the frightening nature of such a consequence, An Lin was finally able to suppress his urge.

In the end, under An Lin's perseverance, he was able to last for a full five minutes…

A Final Spark cast by the young sorceress destroyed An Lin's Nexus and ended the battle.

An Lin was a bit teary-eyed as he looked towards the word 'Defeat' printed across his screen, and he remained silent for a long while.

"What a satisfying battle!" the girl smiled contently. She stretched lazily, slightly straightening her slender waist.

Satisfying?

An Lin silently moved his finger towards the 'report' icon on the screen…

Soon after, he recalled that there were no GMs in this bloody game. Even if there really was a GM, it would just be the girl beside him.

Thinking of this, all he could do was sigh softly and prepare himself for the final punishment.

"Huh? Why are you so depressed?" the girl asked upon seeing the anxious expression on An Lin's face.

An Lin rolled his eyes at her. Perhaps you want me to beam with joy while you beat me mercilessly?

The girl suddenly came to a realization and understood why An Lin was wearing such an expression.

She clapped her hands together and chuckled, "Uh-huh, I've changed my mind now. Although you lost the game, I've decided not to practice my spells on you."

An Lin's eyes lit up. "Really?" he asked joyfully.

"Really," the girl nodded earnestly. "However, I have one condition."

"What condition?"

In fact, as long as the girl agreed not to use Final Spark on him in real life, An Lin would grit his teeth and agree to her conditions, even if there were ten of them.

"Stay here and game with me." A look of excitement was visible in the girl's purple eyes as they squinted into a smile.

An Lin: "…"

"My best friends are all noobs. They can't even last for five minutes against me.

"In fact, only you can last for a full ten minutes. This is the feeling of a close contest!" the girl continued.

An Lin's mouth twitched upon hearing this. If you don't use hacks, you'll suddenly find a lot of evenly matched opponents. Believe me!

"How long do I have to game with you for?" An Lin still needed to seek out nine last hit victims and he couldn't let the rare opportunity provided by this event slip by.

The girl stroked her chin and fell deep into thought.

After a moment she replied, "M-hm… I'll let you go as soon as you defeat me once."

An Lin almost fainted. At this rate, we'll be gaming for all f*cking eternity! he roared in his mind.

However, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Gaming with you is fine. But can you also accept a condition of mine?" An Lin asked.

The girl frowned slightly. "I'm listening."

"Can we game atop the Black Rock Peak? Due to some unique circumstances, I have to remain atop the peak for a day." An Lin said.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

The girl readily accepted An Lin's demand.

Gaming atop the Black Rock Peak appeared rather like dueling on Mt. Hua 1and felt much like a clash between two masters. The girl really liked this kind of feeling.

Just like that, the girl had her six-feathered staff hover into the air.

Then, a pink streamlined curtain of light appeared around the staff.

This was the Light Concealment Spell from Sword Kinesis Flight. The pink streamlined curtain of light acted to steady the rider's body and could also protect them from the wind and prevent sunburn. This skill could only be mastered by cultivators who had reached the Spirit Nurturing rank.

Seeing the girl beckon at him, An Lin anxiously stepped onto the staff.

Dude, it's Sword Kinesis Flight! To be honest, he was fairly eager to try it out.

"This is my first time, can you please be more gentle…" An Lin said timidly.

"Hahaha! No problems darling, I'll be very gentle," the girl answered heartlessly with a wide smile on her face.

Then, she purposefully canceled the 'protection from wind ability' of the Light Concealment Spell…

The six-feathered staff quivered for a moment before rocketing into the sky.

"AHHHHH…!"

The six-feathered staff flew insanely fast and the wind screamed past. An Lin, who was standing on the staff, started screaming in fright.

Out of instinct, he grabbed onto the soft and slender waist of the young sorceress in front of him.

Slap!

"Scoundrel!" the girl cried softly and slapped him in the face.

Tears welled up in An Lin's eyes as he let go of her waist.

The magical staff was traveling at almost the speed of sound. How could he not panic? His heart was about to beat out of his chest!

Looking down, the frightening height sent him further into panic and he started to go weak at the knees.

Sword Kinesis Flight is so scary, Sword Kinesis Flight is so scary…

An Lin felt that he was getting a bit sword-flight sick.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying—who was above the barrier containing the event area—fell deep into thought as she looked towards the disappearing figures of the girl and An Lin.

"Are they a pair of inseparable lovers flying off into the distance?

"Uh-huh, I have a nagging feeling that these two are a bit peculiar…"

She looked towards the notebook in her hands. In it, the data of numerous students was recorded. An Lin's data was altered once again.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 120; Achievement Score: 150

Liu Qianhuan—Combat Capability: 850; Achievement Score: 300

"I think Liu Qianhuan was ranked fourth in the previous Immortal Rankings Board. If she didn't place so much of her attention towards trivial matters, she actually had the ability to shoot for a top three ranking…

"Forget about it. As long as the two of them don't team up to harass others, then they won't have broken any rules. I can't be bothered worrying about such things anyhow.

"M-hm, they've almost flown out of the area that I'm in charge of. Let me share my data with the other teachers first…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying was truly busy. She was using her divine sense to simultaneously observe more than ten battles. Thus, when An Lin and his companion flew out of her area, she stopped paying them any attention.

She was extremely satisfied, as her paying close attention to An Lin had been fairly rewarding.

After she returned, she would file an application to the university in order for her to realize the inspirational ideas in her mind.

…

During the flight, An Lin learnt of Star Guardian Lux's name.

She was called Liu Qianhuan and was a Third-year, Class One student.

At the same time, she was also greatly knowledgeable in mortal studies and was especially infatuated with mortal entertainment, in particular, competitive video games.

From her mobile version of League of Legends, An Lin could profoundly feel her interests in this area.

"Look! The Black Rock Peak is just ahead!" Liu Qianhuan yelled excitedly.

Saying this, she increased the speed of her Sword Kinesis Flight.

Tears welled up in An Lin's eyes as he looked towards the jet-black mountain peak which rose hundreds of meters into the air. We're finally here , he sighed in his mind.

After this terrible staff-flight experience, An Lin felt that he had developed acrophobia and tachophobia.

There was a level area of approximately seventeen meters wide atop Black Rock Peak. As if sliced cleanly by a sharp instrument, the surface was particularly smooth.

When An Lin and Liu Qianhuan landed on the mountain peak, they were surprised to find that there was already another male meditating there.

"Is he a Spirit Nurturing ranked prodigy?" An Lin anxiously questioned the girl next to him as he fixed his hair which had been messed up by the wind.

Logically speaking, only cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing rank had the ability to reach this mountain peak.

However, An Lin could only sense the aura of an Eighth Stage Dao Body coming from that person, thus his question.

Liu Qianhuan shook her head. "He's only got a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body," she replied.

"Weird, I get the feeling that I've seen him somewhere before…"

At this moment, the male who was meditating opened his eyes and looked towards An Lin and Liu Qianhuan.

He looked to be around fourteen or fifteen, with his face appearing delicate and his eyes especially pure.

The youth stood up. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and saluted towards An Lin and Liu Qianhuan.

Seeing this, An Lin returned his salute. For some reason, he didn't seem to feel any animosity towards the youth in front of him.

The youth appeared to be tranquil and calm. "Please don't hit me, I'll leave right away," he said gently.

An Lin: "…"

Liu Qianhuan: "…"

Immediately afterwards, the youth took out a bundle of thick rope and looped it around a white pole which he had conjured with his immortal spell.

He drove the white pole into the ground, then grabbed onto the rope and started sliding down the mountain slowly.

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan fell silent as they watched the youth's disappearing figure.

"I keep getting the feeling that he's very odd." An Lin finally spoke after a long time.

Liu Qianhuan nodded her head in agreement. The fact that a mere Eighth Stage Dao Body ranked cultivator was able to meditate atop the Black Rock Peak was very odd.

When he reached the base of Black Rock Peak, the youth looked upwards towards the top of the peak. "What lousy luck! After I had gone through all that difficulty to find such a serene place…" he sighed in disappointment.

Right at this moment, an extremely beautiful girl with a flaming sword in hand appeared before him.

"First-year, Class One, Xu Xiaolan. Please enlighten me!"

The youth was momentarily dazed. Then, a grievous expression appeared on his face. "Fifth-year, Class One, Chen Chen. Say, Student Xu Xiaolan, can you please let me go?"

"I need to earn more achievement points, so I'm afraid I can't do that, Senior Chen."

When Xu Xiaolan finished speaking, she mercilessly slashed towards Chen Chen with her flaming sword.

A scorching sword projection burst out from the blade, reaching Chen Chen in an instant and slicing him into two.

Soon afterwards, the two halves of Chen Chen's body transformed into a white mist and evaporated before her eyes.

Xu Xiaolan was startled by what she saw. The youth's figure and aura had already disappeared completely. It was as if he had never appeared before her.

"Strange… Could it be that he has some mysterious escape technique?" Xu Xiaolan was completely baffled.

The youth only had a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body, yet could silently escape from before her. This was completely mind-boggling!

Behind a mountain peak hundreds of meters from where Xu Xiaolan was standing, a white mist suddenly appeared.

Then, Chen Chen's figure slowly stepped out from this white mist.

"Ah… I've wasted some of my vital energy again. What lousy luck…" Chen Chen sighed softly.

Above the event barrier, an elder sitting on a calabash looked curiously at the youth through squinted eyes.

On his notebook, he had Chen Chen's data.

Chen Chen—Combat Capability: ???; Achievement Score: 0

Xu Xiaolan—Combat Capability: 260; Achievement Score: 160

"Say, when Chen Chen entered this university, he already had a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body. Five years have almost passed and this kid is still on the Eighth Stage Dao Body…

"Moreover, he's already attended a few free-for-all battle events, yet astonishingly hasn't even been involved in a single battle. Even when Spirit Nurturing ranked students go after him, he's able to easily escape.

"Not taking into account other matters, his escaping skills are top-notch."

The elder silently nodded his head. No wonder this student was fancied by a True God. Every such student is this interesting , he thought to himself.

Amongst the fifty thousand students in this university, only five students had received a True God's letter of recommendation.

Apart from the three students in first-year, one of them had already reached the top of the university's Immortal Rankings Board, and the other was none other than Chen Chen.

"I really wish that you could display your skills once! It can't be that you're just going to graduate so obscurely and without attracting any attention, right?"

The elder spoke softly and gazed down upon Chen Chen with a look of anticipation on his face.

Chapter 27: Cultivating While Gaming

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As An Lin had desired, he was taken to the top of Black Rock Peak. Next, all he needed to do was meditate and perform expiration for a day. Once he had completed this, he would be able to successfully cultivate his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill.

Theoretically speaking, he had no chance to meditate and perform expiration now that he needed to play games with Liu Qianhuan.

However, you mustn't forget that as a result of An Lin's diarrhea incident, he developed a cultivation method whereby one could absorb vital energy whilst squatting.

In fact, this was a cultivation method which could be performed while multitasking. Cultivating while squatting on the toilet could be regarded as multitasking, as could cultivating while playing games.

As long as the environment was tranquil enough and he had enough stamina, practicing this cultivation technique wasn't a difficult task.

Just like that, An Lin started the carefree and leisurely life of cultivating whilst playing games.

He could see the progress bar for the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill on his system, and with the passing of time, it was slowly inching forwards.

As soon as the progress bar was filled, he would have successfully cultivated the Stage One Earth Lotus Supreme Skill!

During expiration, apart from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he could feel another strange energy. This energy slowly flowed into his body from atop the Black Rock Peak and continuously tempered his body.

Ah! This feeling is amazing! An Lin exclaimed as he looked towards the sky. Then, he tapped on Lux's icon on his phone.

He wanted to try out the Lux on his phone and see whether or not her Final Spark could destroy three defensive turrets at once.

Unfortunately though, it appeared as if that was an ability exclusive to the 'Real' Star Guardian Lux.

An Lin's standard edition Lux was ravaged, and the game ended after eight minutes.

Afterwards, he accepted this reality and started to choose champions who were more explosive. Every battle, he would strive to increase the number of times he sent the young sorceress back to her home base. That way, he would be able to struggle on for a while longer.

As a result, An Lin was able to kill her more than ten times every game, and the game would also stretch for over ten minutes.

Liu Qianhuan was constantly insta-killed by An Lin, and she was starting to feel a little annoyed.

She puffed her cheeks out and looked at An Lin pitiably. There was a slight blush on her pretty face, and she appeared extremely cute.

Seeing this, An Lin started pondering over whether he should go easier on her. To him, victory or defeat was meaningless anyway.

However, before he could even reach a decision, Liu Qianhuan spoke.

"Give me a moment, I need to update the game!"

Huh? Update the game?

An Lin blinked in confusion.

When she finished speaking, Liu Qianhuan tapped open an interface. Then, her fingers became a blur as they danced around the screen.

An Lin was astonished by the sight in front of him.

Holy f*ck! She's already reached a typing speed of two-hundred words per minute, hasn't she?!

No, it might already be three-hundred words per minute!

Is this still the uncoordinated sorceress that I know of? This typing speed is already far beyond what professional scribes can achieve!

Moreover, strings of code are displayed on her screen. Could it be that she's programming?

Holy sh*t! Is she manually updating the game?!

…

After a while, Liu Qianhuan stopped typing.

"Phew! Mission Accomplished!" she exclaimed happily.

Then, appearing a little tired, she started massaging her fingers.

An Lin had already become numb watching her program. He believed that if programmers watched her program live, they would be frightened to tears.

Liu Qianhuan shared a folder with An Lin so that he could install the update.

After updating the game, both of them opened up the mobile version of League of Legends once again.

This time, she chose Garen, the Might of Demacia. Presumably, she wanted to buff her champion's health and defenses in order to prevent being insta-killed by An Lin again.

An Lin was a bit surprised. This appeared to be the first time that she had chosen a champion other than Star Guardian Lux.

At this moment, An Lin had already picked Zed, the Master of Shadows. He was an explosive melee assassin.

After his Master of Shadows left the base, he was greeted by the sight of Garen's forty-meter-long sword…

Garen set out from his base's red nexus and stopped under his side's defensive turret. Then, he started hacking non-stop at the enemy's defensive turrets…

"Others all say that Garen's sword is forty meters long and I always felt that reality did not live up to the name. As expected, it's become more realistic now," Liu Qianhuan explained contently.

The corners of An Lin's mouth twitched. How the hell do you expect me to play?!

After much difficulty, he reached level six. He planned on returning to his base to buy items which could buff his attack, then go all out at his opponent.

Right at this moment, Liu Qianhuan yelled, "For Demacia!"

Then, a forty-meter-long golden sword descended from the sky and cut towards Zed.

An Lin's screen was filled with a golden light. When this golden light disappeared, his screen became dark.

The pitiable Zed… He was slain as he was purchasing items at his home base!

"This is called the flying sword! It can sever an enemy general's head from a thousand miles away!" Liu Qianhuan explained.

An Lin nodded earnestly and played along with her. "It's only logical that the special ability of a forty-meter-long sword should have greater attacking range, and only logical that the damage it deals should also be greater! Senior Liu, your modifications are very reasonable!"

Liu Qianhuan's eyes lit up. "Not bad! You understand me after all!"

Finally, the game ended.

An Lin's stats read: Zero kills, Twelve deaths.

He felt that these were his worst ever stats since he started playing League of Legends.

No… He refused to acknowledge that this game was League of Legends!

Even though he was battling against Liu Qianhuan, he felt as if the two of them were playing completely different games.

Not only could An Lin's opponent use hacks, but she could also create hacks on the spot. Say, are you afraid?

Night gradually set in and Liu Qianhuan took out a night-luminescent magic tool.

This tool was disc-shaped and let out a soft white glow. It even sent out bursts of heat towards the surrounding area to defend against the cold.

The two of them started gaming again. An Lin's current record sat at zero wins and fifty losses.

He already felt numb towards losing, as he was ravaged by Liu Qianhuan in all kinds of ways.

The starry sky was clearly visible from atop the mountain peak.

The full moon looked large as it hung in the sky, and it appeared as if it was very close to where they were sitting.

Below them in the distance, explosions could occasionally be heard.

Dazzling immortal spells of various colors also appeared frequently, and they lit up the dark night.

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan were gaming leisurely atop the mountain peak, and such a scene was a clear contrast to what the other students in the free-for-all battle event were going through…

At An Lin's rank, his body was already especially resilient and tough. To him, pulling one or two all-nighters had basically no detrimental effect.

Thus, he was made to game with Liu Qianhuan for the entire night.

At noon the following day, a faint golden glow suddenly emerged from An Lin's body.

Immediately afterwards, countless golden patterns started appearing on his skin and they formed into a mystical figure. As suddenly as they appeared though, the patterns and golden glow quickly began to dissipate and disappear.

However, this sight did not escape Liu Qianhuan's attention.

"My God! You've attained enlightenment from playing a game?

"Oh, Great God, how did you do it?!"

Liu Qianhuan's face was full of surprise. She blinked her purple eyes at An Lin, and the stars in her eyes almost leapt out.

An Lin had absolutely no idea how to answer her bizarre question.

Just then, his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill had broken through to Stage One. Numerous information regarding this skill started to flow into his mind.

This was a skill which was in accordance with the power of the earth. In the initial stages of cultivation, this skill could strengthen one's body and also increase the power of their earth category spells.

For example, the system notified An Lin that the power of his Mountain Quaking Fist had already doubled!

"I can sense that your body has been strengthened considerably. The vital energy in your body also appears a lot more abundant…" Liu Qianhuan's eyes sparkled brighter and brighter.

She grabbed An Lin's hand and asked excitedly, "Can you please teach me the cultivation method whereby one can become stronger even when they are gaming?"

If she was able to learn this cultivation method, her cultivation would no longer be detrimentally affected by her game addiction!

This was the cultivation method of her dreams!

An Lin was a bit exasperated. Since when did he know of a cultivation method that could help one become stronger through playing games…

However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Cough… I have a cultivation method where you can perform expiration while playing games. Do you want to learn it?" An Lin asked.

"Yeah! I do!" Liu Qianhuan answered without hesitation.

"I have one condition though. Once I teach this cultivation method to you, you have to let me go!" An Lin continued.

He still had to complete the system mission and couldn't be stuck here playing games for three days.

A look of hesitation emerged on Liu Qianhuan's face. In the end, though, she decided to agree to An Lin's condition.

Between the fish and bear-paw, the bear-paw was still more important 1 !

If worst came to worst, she could still bait the fish, An Lin, back in with her bear-paw…

Chapter 28: Thanks for Letting Me Win

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Atop the Black Rock Peak, An Lin taught Liu Qianhuan the multitasking cultivation technique.

After learning this technique, Liu Qianhuan happily took An Lin back down the mountain.

Then, she flew off in search of other people to practice her spells on.

An Lin felt great after regaining his freedom, and he once again set off on his journey of hunting for critically injured targets.

Now that his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill had reached the first stage, his strength also increased by a fair amount.

He wasn't sure exactly how much stronger he had become though, and he could only find out after testing it on someone.

Students able to enter this university were all the most talented individuals of their age bracket.

It was also inevitable that the cultivation methods they practiced were first-class amongst the cultivation world.

Thus, even though An Lin had learnt the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill, he still wasn't confident that he could match it with cultivators of the same rank.

M-hm… Hopefully I can meet someone whose rank is one stage below mine, so I can familiarize myself with my own strength.

Just as An Lin thought this, he bumped into a familiar person.

This person was An Lin's classmate Wei Ji, who had a rank of Ninth Stage Dao Body…

Wei Ji was a bit dazed when he saw An Lin. Evidently, he didn't expect to meet him here.

This trash actually managed to make it to the second day?

Wei Ji was astounded, and he looked An Lin up and down.

He was actually very contemptuous towards An Lin. It was only due to him being a well-cultured person that allowed him to hide his feelings and not let his disgust show.

Heh, since he's already appeared before me, I may as well sweep this trash out…

Wei Ji sneered in his mind yet put on a warm and gentle expression. "Student An Lin, please enlighten me!" He gestured towards An Lin in invitation.

Seeing that Wei Ji had already fully released his aura, An Lin knew that he wouldn't be able to avoid this battle.

He was very annoyed. Why was it that when he wanted to come across a Seventh Stage Dao Body opponent, a Ninth Stage Dao Body opponent suddenly appeared?

Since I can't avoid it, I'll fight!

"Student Wei Ji, please enlighten me!"

The image of a golden lotus appeared on An Lin's forehead.

His aura suddenly changed at that moment, and it became as strong and steady as a mountain. It was as if no amount of power would be able to move him.

The wind howled around Wei Ji, and a suit of wind armor appeared around his body. Furthermore, his fist was shrouded in a white ball of light. This white ball of light was formed due to the rapid compression of air.

Whoosh!

Wei Ji started moving, and in a flash, he had appeared before An Lin. A pair of fists shrouded in white light mercilessly swung towards An Lin.

Right away, he used his ultimate move of which he was immensely proud—Implosion Fist!

The white light on his fists would explode once they came into contact with An Lin's body.

The force of such an explosion could blow boulders up into smithereens.

Wei Ji was confident that An Lin would definitely die if he was to be hit by such a strike outside of the event area.

Now that they had the protection of the golden defensive barrier, it wasn't under his control whether An Lin became severely injured or crippled.

Don't blame me for being ruthless towards you. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being too weak! Wei Ji sneered.

Faced with Wei Ji's fist, An Lin also replied with a punch.

Mountain Quaking Fist!

A golden fist of around three-meters large emerged from his fist. The golden lotus on his forehead spun, and a wisp of the earth's energy flowed imperceptibly into the golden fist, giving rise to some qualitative change…

Seeing An Lin's immortal spell, the expression on Wei Ji's face changed slightly. However, his fist still swung towards An Lin's golden fist all the same.

That's just some third-rate immortal spell , he thought, watch how I destroy it with my fist!

Boom!

The two fists collided, and white light exploded with a loud rumble. The powerful explosion caused the ground within a ten-meter radius to tremble and crack open. Furthermore, the ground at the center of the explosion had completely caved in.

Wei Ji had initially thought that his punch could shatter the golden fist and critically injure An Lin.

Yet, after the explosion, the golden fist had only become a bit dimmer.

Afterwards, the fist ripped through his wind armor and smashed into his body…

Boom!

Wei Ji felt as if his body had been struck by a large mountain.

Boundless power tore through his body and he vomited blood as he flew backwards. His eyes rolled into his head when he landed on the ground, and he almost lost his consciousness.

An Lin looked at the scene in front of him in surprise as he stood still and gasped for breath.

The earth was caved in and cracked, and Wei Ji was vomiting blood and severely injured…

F*ck! My Mountain Quaking Fist has become this powerful?!

Wei Ji is a powerful cultivator of the Ninth Stage Dao Body… And I blew him away with a single strike?

This is more than the doubling in power described by the system, right?

Wei Ji stood up shakily, with blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth. It was evident that his internal organs had already been injured.

His face was filled with shock, and he looked towards An Lin in disbelief.

"T-that's impossible! Weren't you only ranked Zeroth Stage Dao Body when you enrolled?" Wei Ji's lips trembled as he glanced at An Lin.

"M-hm, that's right," An Lin nodded sincerely. "After a few months of cultivation, I've already reached the Eighth Stage Dao Body."

Wei Ji was dumbstruck upon hearing this, and it looked as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Impossible! You ranked up eight stages in a mere few months? You've got to be kidding me!

"You definitely used some secret method… You must have cheated!

"When you fought against me, you definitely broke the rules and used some high-level talisman. You cheated!"

Wei Ji flared up in anger. He was unable to accept the fact that he had been beaten by An Lin.

Upon hearing this, An Lin's face darkened. He was no saint and it was only natural that he wasn't in a great mood with someone repeatedly claiming that he had 'cheated'.

"Hah!" Wei Ji roared as he charged towards An Lin once again.

He was severely injured at this moment, causing his speed to be significantly slower than before.

His punches were still extremely powerful though, with blades of wind dancing about his fists and a sonic boom audible every time he threw a punch.

An Lin wasn't as skilled as Wei Ji in close-quarter combat. Thus, he was accidentally struck by Wei Ji a few times during their battle.

Every time Wei Ji struck An Lin, it was as if he had punched a steel plate. His fists would become weak and numb.

On the other hand, An Lin's expression remained unchanged and he would only be pushed back a few steps. It was as if Wei Ji's punches had no effect on him.

Seeing this, Wei Ji was dumbstruck once again.

What's with his body? Why is it so solid? My fist can crush even boulders, so how is he uninjured after taking my blows?

"You're definitely hiding something. Tell me what you've done!"

Wei Ji's eyes turned red and he became even more furious. He put his full power behind every single strike.

An Lin sighed as he looked towards Wei Ji's wild figure, and he threw a single punch.

Mountain Quaking Fist!

The golden light of the fist enveloped Wei Ji. The fist was akin to a gigantic mountain as it crushed down upon him, and a look of despair spread over his face.

"AHHHH!"

Wei Ji screamed in despair as he was struck by the golden fist once again. His Defeat Judgement Seal was immediately activated by the tremendous power of the fist.

Once more, he vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. His entire body was trembling, and he gazed at the golden defensive barrier surrounding him with an expression of disbelief.

"I lost? I actually lost?"

Wei Ji had never imagined that he would actually be defeated by An Lin, a person who he regarded as trash.

He knew in his mind that had it not been for the golden defensive barrier, it was very likely that he would have lost his life.

Even so, he still couldn't accept the fact that he had been defeated by An Lin!

An Lin walked to Wei Ji's side. With the way things had progressed, he finally understood why Wei Ji had become so frenzied. The more one is beaten by that who he scorns, the more frenzied one will become…

"Sorry for hurting your fragile heart." A disdainful smile hung on An Lin's face.

"However, there's still one thing I must say. Being defeated by an individual who's only cultivated for a few months…

"Student Wei Ji, you've truly wasted more than ten years of your life!"

Hearing this, Wei Ji's eyes bulged. The flow of his vital energy and blood became turbulent, and he vomited another mouthful of blood.

Then, his eyes rolled into his head and he passed out.

Chapter 29: The Battle Triggered By a Dog

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Immortal—who was sitting on a calabash above the barrier enveloping the battleground—witnessed An Lin's battle in its entirety.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Just as I thought, the kids who have a True God's letter of recommendation are all special. If I'm correct, An Lin has only been cultivating for four months. How frightening…"

The elder shook his head and lightly stroked his white beard. He held a calligraphy brush in his right hand and he waved it in the air as he recorded some data.

The black strokes suspended in the air and they formed into numerous words.

An Lin's data was amongst them, and it changed once again.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 180; Achievement Score: 190

Generally speaking, students of the Tenth Stage Dao Body would have a combat capability score of around 200.

The fact that An Lin's combat capability reached 180 indicated that the elder already viewed his strength as close to that of Tenth Stage Dao Body.

Remaining uninjured whilst defeating the Ninth Stage Dao Body ranked Wei Ji was ample proof of An Lin's strength.

Moreover, there was a trace of aura contained in his Mountain Quaking Fist which conformed with the Great Dao. The elder marveled at this, and it helped to boost An Lin's combat capability score.

An Lin continued with his hunt. He was feeling much more confident after his battle with Wei Ji. At the very least, he wouldn't need to be afraid when he met enemies of the Ninth Stage Dao Body anymore, and he would be able to rush at them fearlessly.

Just like that, night gradually descended.

It had been a smooth sailing day for An Lin. After a period of using guerrilla tactics and finishing off critically injured victims, he had successfully defeated another six opponents of the Ninth Stage Dao Body. He was now only two people off from completing his mission of defeating ten enemies ranked higher than him.

He mulled over whether or not he should continue hunting into the night and whether he should strive to rank up to the Ninth Stage Dao Body as quickly as possible.

As the free-for-all battle transitioned into its final half, students below the rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body had generally all been eliminated. The remaining students were all extremely powerful prodigies.

If he couldn't rank up quickly enough, then there was a possibility that he would soon be unable to defeat a single enemy…

After roasting a marmot using a simple fire-control spell, An Lin quickly gulped it down. He then started to meditate and regulate his condition.

Night-time in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks was tranquil and quiet. Thus, if a fight became heated, the sounds of battle would travel far and wide and the flashes of the immortal spells would appear especially prominent against the night sky.

When that occurred, numerous students would be attracted to the battleground and a spectacular chain of battles would thus ensue.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed…

Boom!

A loud blast suddenly sounded not far from where An Lin was meditating.

In the darkness of the night, the flames were akin to the brightest of beacons announcing the whereabouts of this new battle.

An Lin opened his eyes and excitement washed over his face.

He had almost recovered all the energy that he had expended today, and now was the time to get moving!

When An Lin arrived at the battleground, the battle had already ended.

A golden defensive barrier appeared around a male who was covered in injuries and laying on the ground. Next to him, there was also a white dog.

"Zhao Huaiyin!" An Lin exclaimed in surprise as he saw the male.

The person collapsed on the floor was none other than Zhao Huaiyin. Although he had already been beaten beyond recognition, the dog next to him was still easily recognizable!

Upon seeing An Lin, Zhao Huaiyin was also startled. He never imagined that An Lin would be able to break free from the burly students who had him surrounded!

"An Lin, you have to live on happily. This opponent is especially frightening and I, your brother, cannot save you!" Zhao Huaiyin was teary-eyed as he bid An Lin farewell, and his figure disappeared amidst a golden glow.

An Lin: "…"

The image of Zhao Huaiyin fleeing and leaving a trail of dust behind him was still fresh in An Lin's mind.

An Lin knew that if Zhao Huaiyin was still alive, he would most certainly be the first one out of here.

"Woof, woof!" Da Bai rushed towards the male opposite of him in grief and fury.

Opening his jaws and leaping up high, he bit towards the male.

In critical moments, Da Bai was still very loyal. If the owner was beaten, their pet would seek revenge!

Then, he was kicked back hundreds of meters by the male. Da Bai rocketed into a gigantic boulder like a cannon, smashing it to bits.

"Humph! A person ranked as lowly as you actually dared to dream of ambushing me? Even if I'm injured, that doesn't change the fact that I'm a person of the Tenth Stage Dao Body!" The male had a look of disdain and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

An Lin fixed his attention on the male and found that he was covered in wounds. His aura was still immense though, and it was evident that Zhao Huaiyin was no match for him.

It appeared as if a battle had already taken place here before Zhao Huaiyin had arrived.

Presumably, Zhao Huaiyin had wanted to deal a killing blow to the injured male yet didn't anticipate the male would still be so formidable. This resulted in the sight which greeted An Lin.

An Lin rushed to Da Bai's side and started examining his wounds.

Da Bai appeared feeble and his body was riddled with wounds. It looked as though he could no longer move.

So heavy-handed… Moreover, Da Bai doesn't have a Defeat Judgement Seal. If it wasn't for his unique physique, he may have been killed by that kick!

The male walked over slowly. Seeing An Lin, his mouth stretched into a sneer. "F*ck off! I'll deal with you after I slay this dog."

An Lin took a deep breath. He stood up slowly and blocked Da Bai behind him, refusing to budge a single step.

Seeing this, the male was momentarily dazed. Soon after though, a cruel smile emerged on his face. "So be it. Since you want to die quicker, I'll help you out!"

"First-year, Class One, An Lin. Please enlighten me!" An Lin said coldly.

"Oh? So, you're the 'most networked backdoor entrant', An Lin?"

The male suddenly became interested and he looked An Lin up and down. "Uh-huh, you don't appear as useless as the rumors say. At the very least, you have the courage to face me." The male nodded slightly.

An Lin cracked into a smile. "Not only do I have the courage to face you, but I also have the ability to beat you back to your mother's bosom."

One had to admit that his taunts were particularly savvy. Upon hearing his comment, the veins of his opponent bulged. It was clear that his opponent was infuriated.

"You've got guts! Second-year, Class One, Zhang Chen. Please enlighten me!"

After he finished speaking, the male's aura erupted outwards.

Up until now, amongst all the enemies that An Lin had come across, this was the most oppressive aura yet.

Without any hesitation, he used his Mountain Quaking Fist!

A golden fist of three meters wide smashed towards Zhang Chen. Sensing the terrifying power of the golden fist, he shivered and immediately retrieved a crimson shield from his storage ring, placing it in front of himself.

Boom!

The power of the golden fist erupted, and Zhang Chen was blown back more than thirty meters, creating a deep ditch in the ground.

The crimson shield shattered into bits. Furthermore, Zhang Chen's hands were split open by the shock which had traveled through the shield.

Zhang Chen glared at An Lin intently and a feeling of absolute shock gripped his heart. The terrifying nature of this immortal spell was far beyond what he had envisaged.

Likewise, An Lin had a look of surprise on his face. This was the first time that someone was able to completely block his Mountain Quaking Fist. That was already his most powerful move!

He didn't become discouraged though, as the saying of a formidable baldindividual 1 surfaced in his mind: There is nothing in the world that one punch cannot solve. If there is, then throw two punches!

"Mountain Quaking Fist!" An Lin roared and threw another punch at Zhang Chen.

A golden fist that was three meters wide surged towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's expression changed drastically. "Holy f*ck! Again?!"

Chapter 30: Breakthrough!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhang Chen didn't have a shield to block the second golden fist. What should I do?

The golden fist contained a terrifying power and it was insanely fast, reaching him in an instant.

Zhang Chen drew a sword from his waist and used his Mountain of Flames Sword Technique. Flames of extremely high temperatures danced about his sword as it slashed furiously towards the golden fist.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted as the flaming sword collided with the gigantic golden fist.

Fifty feet of earth was engulfed by the flames and was instantly scorched black. Furthermore, the gigantic golden fist tore apart the earth and caused large sections to cave in.

With great difficulty, Zhang Chen, who was at the center of the explosion, managed to block this Mountain Quaking Fist.

The shockwaves from the explosion smashed into his body and sent him reeling back.

At this instant, his wounds tore open, and blood started flowing out relentlessly.

Zhang Chen had never imagined that An Lin would push him to such an extent.

From his aura, he is undoubtedly only a cultivator of the Eighth Stage Dao Body. So, what on earth is with his terrifying immortal spell?!

Just as Zhang Chen was frozen in astonishment, another golden fist appeared in his vision.

"Mountain Quaking Fist!"

An Lin roared and a golden fist of ten feet surged out…

"F*ck the Immortals! Don't you need to rest after using your spell?!" Zhang Chen cursed loudly.

He felt as though he had been trampled over by ten thousand alpacas. This was a feeling of helplessness and despair!

An Lin also wanted to have a rest…

In fact, using the Mountain Quaking Fist two times in a row had practically consumed all his energy.

However, he knew that he couldn't stop at this critical moment. He couldn't give his opponent any respite.

Thus, he drew on every last inkling of his energy and used the Mountain Quaking Fist for the third time!

The third golden fist made Zhang Chen feel a sense of despair.

He put all his strength behind his sword parry, yet the massive power of the fist penetrated through the sword and erupted over his body.

Boom!

Zhang Chen felt a heart-wrenching pain rip through his body. He felt as if his entire body had been pulverized by the fist, and there wasn't a single place that wasn't hurting and shuddering.

Thump.

His body collapsed to the ground and his vision became blurry. A golden defensive barrier emerged around his body.

This all felt absurd for Zhang Chen. Being a prodigy of the Mountain of Flames Sect and boasting unsurpassed natural talent, he simultaneously practiced numerous first-rate cultivation methods of the sect. It was only ever he who would pummel those ranked above him. Since when had he ever been beaten by those ranked below him?

Today, however, he really was beaten by someone ranked lower than him. Furthermore, it was a student of the Eighth Stage Dao Body who had beaten him. There was a ranking gap of two full stages…

After using his Mountain Quaking Fist for the third time, An Lin fell to his knees in exhaustion.

Upon seeing the golden defensive barrier around Zhang Chen's body, he breathed a sigh of relief and a triumphant smile emerged on his face.

"Da Bai, I've taken revenge for you!" An Lin exclaimed as he ran towards Da Bai.

Laying atop the cracked boulders, Da Bai whimpered softly as he glanced at An Lin with his large black eyes.

An Lin sensed that there was something abnormal about Da Bai's state. It appeared as if his condition had worsened, with blood seeping from his mouth.

"Da Bai, are you alright?" An Lin immediately picked Da Bai up and carefully sensed his injuries.

For some reason though, An Lin was unable to cast his senses into Da Bai's body. It was as if Da Bai's body had been covered up by something.

What can I do? What can I do?

Da Bai's presence became weaker and weaker. If this continued, he would certainly die!

An Lin was extremely anxious. He didn't know how to use healing spells, thus, he could only dress Da Bai's wounds with some strips of cloth.

However, Da Bai's injuries were mainly internal. What An Lin had done would have little effect in alleviating Da Bai's injuries.

"Teacher! This dog is on the verge of death, can you please save him? Or send him back to receive treatment?"

An Lin yelled towards the barrier above him. He knew that there was a teacher over there observing the battlegrounds. Thus, he could only place his hopes on the teacher.

Unfortunately though, there was no reply from above the barrier in the sky.

An Lin was greatly disappointed. He carried Da Bai around and had no idea what to do.

"Da Bai, do you have any last words?" An Lin asked in concern.

He looked towards the injury-riddled Da Bai in his arms.

Da Bai: "… Woof!"

An Lin: "…"

An Lin caught another groundhog and handed it over to Da Bai.

"Da Bai, eat this groundhog to nourish your body!"

Da Bai: "…"

Da Bai grimaced and turned his head away. Before he died, he didn't want to see An Lin anymore.

Only cats eat rodents. By throwing him a rodent, aren't you humiliating dogs?!

…

The immortal teacher in the sky was a sword immortal. A sword hung from his waist and his white clothes fluttered.

He was called Destiny Sword Immortal and he believed that all things had their own destiny. He believed that one could not forcefully insist upon something, nor could they forcefully change something.

Destiny Sword Immortal naturally heard An Lin's calls for help. However, since this dog had mysteriously arrived at the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, this was his destiny. He would not attempt to forcefully change this kind of preordained fate.

"This is all fate!" Destiny Sword Immortal nodded earnestly.

An Lin's data was beside him, and he had already updated it.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 205; Achievement Score: 380

…

Afterward, An Lin once again came across a student of the Ninth Stage Dao Body.

He had made his way here by following the tremors of a battle. An Lin clashed fiercely with this student, and after using his Mountain Quaking Fist twice, finally defeated him.

Ding!

A crisp sound reverberated in his mind. This was the sound which signified the successful completion of a mission.

After a short while, An Lin felt his bones crackle and he was overcome by extreme pain.

The pain felt as if it were going to tear his body apart and An Lin truly couldn't bear it. He laid down on the ground and hugged his body tightly.

Vital energy frenziedly rushed into him and tempered his body.

It's so painful! How can it be this painful?!

An Lin was a bit flustered. When he ranked up from the seventh stage to the eighth stage, it clearly wasn't this painful.

Right at this moment, a gigantic cyclone of vital energy suddenly appeared in the sky. Enveloping an area of one-hundred feet, it looked much like a funnel and contained an enormous amount of power.

Up in the sky, Destiny Sword Immortal had an expression of surprise as he gazed at this massive cyclone of vital energy.

"Such intense fluctuation of vital energy. The presence of the spirit of nature can be felt no less. This is the fluctuation caused by when one ranks up from the Dao Body Stage into the Spirit Nurturing Stage!

"It can't be… Don't tell me that Student An Lin is about to rank up?"

Destiny Sword Immortal cast his eyes downwards and stared at the youth who was rolling about in pain.

The eye of the vital energy cyclone was undoubtedly above the area that An Lin was in.

"Hang on! Although An Lin is ranking up, he's ranking up from the Eighth Stage Dao Body to the Ninth Stage Dao Body. How is it possible for him to attract the phenomenon which only appears when a cultivator ranks up to the Spirit Nurturing Stage?"

Destiny Sword Immortal was perplexed. This vital energy cyclone is incomprehensible…

Don't tell me that there really are freaks who can rank up twice in succession?

The gigantic cyclone of vital energy, as well as spiritual energy, started to converge towards An Lin's location.

This burst of energy was especially turbulent and vast. Without a doubt, this was the phenomenon unique to when a cultivator broke through to the Spirit Nurturing rank.

Destiny Sword Immortal suddenly fixed his attention on a sight below. "I-It can't be…" he stammered.

This burst of energy was converging towards a space next to An Lin, the space where Da Bai was similarly rolling about in pain…

Chapter 31: Let's go, PipiDog!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as An Lin was breaking through to the Ninth Stage Dao Body, a mysterious power aroused the energy in Da Bai's body.

Then, Da Bai felt a heart-wrenching pain come from within his body.

Holy f*ck An Lin! What have you done to me!

Da Bai roared in his mind. It was a pity that he couldn't speak though, and he could only bark madly.

The gigantic cyclone of vital energy converged in the sky and it funneled violently into Da Bai's body.

Tears welled up in Da Bai's eyes. He had never experienced such pain before.

Under such pain, even Zhang Chen's kick from before seemed to be gentle and soft.

Huge amounts of vital energy gathered in Da Bai's body, and it fused together with the spiritual energy which was also pouring inside him.

Slowly, the two streams of energy started to fuse together and condense. In the end, they formed into a dazzling golden Beast Core.

In that instant, Da Bai started to become aware of the boundless power and vitality flowing through his body.

The pain gradually disappeared. He stood up and his eyes gleamed.

An Lin was also drenched in sweat as he stood up. He stretched his body and exclaimed softly, "Ranking up this time was truly challenging!"

"I know right! It hurt like hell!" a voice concurred.

Hearing this, An Lin nodded in agreement. "I know right! It hurt like hell!"

Immediately afterward though, he felt that something was off…

"Holy f*ck! Who's speaking to me?!"

An Lin's hair bristled. How was someone able to silently approach him? Was it a powerful cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage?

"Here! I'm over here!" the voice once again sounded from beside him.

An Lin looked around nervously yet couldn't find anyone. "Damn, is it a ghost?"

"I, Lord Dog, am here! Are you trying to be snobbish, woof!"

An Lin's expression faltered and he looked down. He found that Da Bai was beaming at him with his tongue out and his tail wagging.

"Da Bai?" An Lin asked uncertainly.

"It was indeed this Lord, woof!" Da Bai's mouth curled into a sinister smile.

Heaven knows how An Lin could sense that Da Bai's smile was a sinister one. In any case, it was a very vivid kind of sinister.

"Da Bai, you can speak in the human tongue? You've become a dog spirit!" An Lin finally lost his composure and started screaming loudly.

"Bah! What's with all that spirit and demon nonsense. I've broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage!" Da Bai said disdainfully.

An Lin was dumbfounded. This news was even more shocking than if Da Bai had admitted to becoming a spirit.

Are you kidding?!

This weakling, Da Bai, has suddenly become a powerful cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage?

Seeing the surprise and confusion on An Lin's face, Da Bai opened his mouth to speak. "The beast tribes' way of ranking up is different from that of your human tribes. Anyhow, it was probably thanks to you that some shackle in my body was broken and I was able to form my Beast Core and reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

"After forming the Beast Core, I've become a Spirit Beast and am able to speak in an intelligible tongue."

Seeing how pleased Da Bai was with himself, An Lin accepted this explanation, and a load was taken off his mind.

Although, he had absolutely no idea how he had assisted Da Bai in breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

However, An Lin was already particularly pleased with the fact that Da Bai was now looking as good as new after previously being on the verge of death.

Da Bai suddenly emitted an astonishingly powerful aura.

Immediately afterward, his body started swelling rapidly. Eventually, he transformed into a large dog ten feet in size.

"Good Heavens! You're so mighty, Da Bai!" Seeing Da Bai's transformation, An Lin's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Da Bai's fur was dazzling white and appeared especially soft and smooth. His large eyes were bright and piercing. Coupled with his sharp teeth, this gave people the feeling that he was both powerful and adorable.

"Hmph! Of course!" Da Bai wagged his tail and smiled complacently. "You've helped me out a fair bit. I'll bring you along with me to slay other students," he continued.

An Lin was overjoyed upon hearing this yet he became hesitant soon after. "I think there's a rule which states that ganging up on others is forbidden, right? If we act together, we'll break the rules!"

"An Lin, you need to build up your IQ…

"The rules of this event state that people must act individually. However, I'm a dog! Woof!"

Da Bai wagged his tongue as he spoke.

An Lin didn't feel a shred of displeasure at having his IQ questioned by a dog. Rather, a look of joy appeared on his face.

It was as though he had discovered a completely new world as he looked towards Da Bai eagerly. "Da Bai, please let me flex with you, please fly me along1 !"

"Heh, what a fitting phrase. I'll fly you along right away!" Da Bai lay on the floor. "Get on, woof!"

Holy f*ck! Da Bai can really fly?!

Although An Lin was a bit surprised, he didn't hesitate for a single moment before jumping onto Da Bai's tall and sturdy back. He grabbed onto his soft fur and smiled, "Let's go, PipiDog!"

"What PipiDog? I'm Da Bai, woof!" Da Bai protested.

A pure burst of wind energy suddenly emerged from below his body.

Then, he tread upon the wind and shot into the sky!

…

Above the barrier, Destiny Sword Immortal fell into silence as he watched the person and dog fly further and further into the distance.

In the end, he finally came to a realization. "This is destiny!" he exclaimed happily.

Sure enough, after saying this, Destiny Sword Immortal found suitable explanations for the ridicules in his mind and his mind became peaceful and calm…

Destiny Sword Immortal nodded slightly. This phrase is truly handy. It can be used to explain all kinds of f*ckery!

…

Amidst the sky in a distant place.

Oh! It feels amazing! An Lin screamed happily in his mind.

This was the first time that he had experienced the joy of flying.

Da Bai's large stature, as well as his body warmth, gave An Lin a great sense of security.

Sitting on Da Bai's back, he felt as though both his acrophobia and tachophobia had been greatly eased.

As expected, Sword Kinesis Flight can go to hell!

In the future, he only wanted to engage in Dog Kinesis Flight!

An Lin was very happy and he had already started thinking about what kind of flying pet he should keep in the future.

Soon after, something clicked in his mind and he lightly caressed Da Bai's head.

"Da Bai, why don't you become my pet?" An Lin said softly.

Da Bai: "…"

"An Lin, have you gone nuts? More like you should become my pet, woof!" Da Bai barked.

An Lin was a bit disappointed upon hearing this. "Zhao Huaiyin is so fortunate to have you as his pet," he lamented softly.

Da Bai's face broadened into a grin. "Heh. Zhao Huaiyin deserves to be my owner? He's only my sh*t shoveling slave, woof!"

"Huh?" An Lin was astonished. Da Bai's comment had truly startled him.

"Have you heard of the Mythological Beast Sect?" Da Bai asked.

An Lin shook his head.

"The Mythological Beast Sect is a large sect formed by the beast tribes of the Kingdom of the Nine States. The members of this sect are also mainly comprised of beasts.

"When young beasts haven't formed their Beast Core yet, there's usually a full-time caretaker who's responsible for looking after them. Zhao Huaiyin is my caretaker and we usually call these caretakers sh*t shoveling slaves, woof!"

An Lin felt as if he had heard something unbelievable. "Then the one coming here to study is actually…"

"That's right, it's me! I was a bit interested in this university, so Zhao Huaiyin brought me here!

"From the looks of it now, it's been fairly fruitful. At least I've been able to successfully form my Beast Core, woof!"

Da Bai was pretty ecstatic about this, and he started wagging his large, snowy-white tail happily.

An Lin nodded. He didn't expect for Zhao Huaiyin to be Da Bai's personal caretaker.

However, he imagined that in Da Bai's heart, Zhao Huaiyin wasn't merely the sh*t shoveling slave that Da Bai labeled him as. Rather, he believed that Da Bai saw Zhao Huaiyin as a friend.

Otherwise, Da Bai wouldn't have disregarded his safety to seek revenge after Zhao Huaiyin was beaten to the verge of death by Zhang Chen.

"Woof! I've detected someone's presence! Now, I'll let them taste this Dog Lord's power!" Da Bai exclaimed excitedly.

An Lin's expression became serious. He knew that the next battle was about to begin!

Chapter 32: The Stupefied Earth Immortal Yue Ying

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Earth Immortal Yue Ying lay on the floating book and used her divine sense to observe the state of affairs in the area that she was in charge of.

The free-for-all battle had already entered into the final stages and far fewer battles were occurring.

However, practically every battle which occurred now was of a high standard.

Right at this moment, a familiar presence charged into the area which was under Earth Immortal Yue Ying's divine sense.

"Huh, Kinesis flight? Is it a Spirit Nurturing Stage prodigy?"

Immediately afterward, a line of data appeared on her notebook.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 205; Achievement Score: 380

"Holy f*ck, this has got to be a joke! What on earth has he gone through?"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's eyes widened as she glared at the data on her notebook, and her eyes almost bulged out.

Originally, An Lin's combat capability was only a tad over one-hundred, as was his achievement score.

Now, his combat capability has doubled and his achievement score has increased by even more?!

"Is he hacking?" Earth Immortal Yue Ying mumbled.

She was unable to understand what had happened. It made sense that his achievement score had increased. However, combat capability wasn't something that could be increased simply because one wanted it to increase! Moreover, his combat capability had doubled!

Amongst the Tenth Stage Dao Body ranked students of the university, a combat capability of 205 is already of the average standard. Isn't he only of the Eighth Stage Dao Body?

Furthermore, he's engaged in Sword Kinesis Flight… Is he still with Liu Qianhuan?

Earth Immortal Yue Ying could only roughly observe his state. Thus, thinking back to the events before, she came to such a deduction.

She started to focus her attention on An Lin.

Immediately afterward, she became even more flustered.

"Holy f*ck! It's not Liu Qianhuan, he's riding a dog!

"What's up with this dog?!"

The corners of her mouth twitched. Where did this Spirit Nurturing Stage dog come from?

Out of the twenty-two Spirit Nurturing Stage ranked students of the university, she didn't know of any who could transform into a dog!

If other students entered the range of her divine sense, their data would automatically appear on her notebook. However, this clearly wasn't the case with the dog…

During the initial teleportation, it was impossible for Spirit Beasts to be teleported. Unless…

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's expression quivered. Don't tell me that this dog broke through to become a Spirit Beast on the battlefield?!

Good Heavens! Who can tell me what I should do in such a situation?!

"An Lin, don't cause me any more trouble, or else I'll deal with you in our next lesson!" Earth Immortal Yue Ying glanced at the male who was happily riding his dog and murmured quietly to herself.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw the large dog swoop down excitedly towards a student on the ground, clearly looking for a battle!

Earth Immortal Yue Ying: "…!"

…

My name is Qin Feng. I'm a Second-year, Class One student, and am a powerful cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

My current achievements include defeating ten students of the Tenth Stage Dao Body and defeating over twenty students ranked lower than me.

This time, I feel that I have a chance to break into the top one-hundred and enter the university's Immortal Rankings Board.

That's right, as long as I engage in a few more battles, I can achieve my goal!

Qin Feng was brimming with confidence. His black clothes fluttered and a white sword rested in his hand. He appeared impressive and commanding.

Right at this moment, an extremely powerful presence rushed towards him.

"Sh*t! It's a prodigy of the Spirit Nurturing Stage!" Qin Feng exclaimed in fright.

However, he regained his composure in no time. Not only was this a challenge, but it was also an opportunity!

If he could fight to the fullest of his abilities against a powerful opponent of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and lose after a few exchanges, then the teacher would give him a higher score.

That way, his chances of breaking into the top one-hundred and entering the Immortal Rankings Board would be greater!

"Identify yourself! I'm Second-year, Class One's Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng raised his head and looked upwards. It was from the sky that he detected the powerful presence.

"Holy f*ck, what's with this dog?!"

Qin Feng was momentarily dazed upon seeing the large flying dog. Then, his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, the student riding on the dog's back replied loudly, "I'm First-year, Class One's An Lin. Please enlighten me, Senior Qin Feng!"

Please enlighten you?

Qin Feng's eyes bulged as he stared at the person and dog. Before he could make sense of what was happening, the dog which was rushing towards him had already raised his paw and swiped it at him.

Qin Feng was indeed a powerful cultivator who had experienced numerous battles. Even though Da Bai's attack was extremely fierce, he was still able to immediately raise his sword in front of his body and parry the swipe.

Thump!

A tremendous power hit him and his body flew backward.

So powerful! Qin Feng was extremely startled. This dog clearly possessed the power of a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator!

What's going on? Does our university have a powerful cultivator who's able to transform into a giant dog?

Before he could even get over his surprise, the large white dog's front paw—which was encircled with a cyclone of wind blades—made a swiping action towards his airborne body!

Da Bai was already a Spirit Beast now, and with a wave of his paw, he would be able to draw on the powers of the heaven and earth. With his simple swipe, ten wind blades of ten feet long cut through the air and slashed towards Qin Feng.

Still in mid-air, Qin Feng slashed his sword about and sword-projections flew from his sword, shattering the wind blades. Da Bai had used his full power on this attack, however, and it would not be so easily blocked.

Despite the fact that Qin Feng's swordsmanship was brilliant and he was able to shatter eight wind blades, there were still two wind blades which managed to slash into him.

Blood splashed out and two cuts appeared on his body.

This wasn't the end though, and a golden fist possessing terrifying amounts of power crashed towards him.

"Holy f*ck! How can the two of you attack at once?!" Qin Feng exclaimed in disbelief.

He was in a phase of relative defenselessness at this moment and was only able to hold his sword across his body.

Boom!

A powerful energy burst out as the fist landed and it caused him to spit out a huge mouthful of blood.

An Lin had already reached the Ninth Stage Dao Body. Using the Mountain Quaking Fist again, the power possessed by this attack was even more terrifying than the immortal spells of some Tenth Stage Dao Body ranked students.

Thus, with just this strike, he was able to cripple Qin Feng.

"Huh? How is he so weak?"

An Lin was a bit puzzled as he walked towards Qin Feng.

In his impression, this senior had a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body. At any rate, he should have been able to take at least two or three Mountain Quaking Fists before being defeated by him. How come he was crippled by a single strike of the Mountain Quaking Fist?

Hearing An Lin's comment, Qin Feng wanted to vomit blood again. "So shameless! If you have balls, fight me one-on-one! Teaming up with a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator to fight me, do you think you're some kind of hero?" Qin Feng let loose a torrent of abuse.

"Also, the rules of this event clearly state that people are only allowed to battle alone. You're breaking the rules!" Qin Feng berated.

An Lin blinked upon hearing this and pointed towards Da Bai. "I did battle alone. This is a dog, it doesn't count as a person. He's my Summoned Beast and is a part of my strength!"

"I'm An Lin's Summoned Beast. I'm called Da Bai, woof!" Da Bai concurred.

What f*cking Summoned Beast?!

Your Summoned Beast is ranked even higher than you?

This is cheating! Cheating, do you understand?

Hearing their comments, Qin Feng shook in fury and he felt as if he was about to pass out.

Right at this moment, Da Bai spoke again. "Come, An Lin. Go and deal the killing blow. That way, you will have defeated another powerful student of the Tenth Stage Dao Body."

Killing blow?

Hearing this, Qin Feng wanted to vomit blood again. "Teacher! You can't ignore this matter! Is there still any justice?! Is there still any law?!" he yelled in grief and indignation.

He knew that there was definitely a teacher who had become aware of this battle. Unfortunately though, the teacher did not intervene. This could only mean that the actions of those two had not broken any rules…

Just like that, Qin Feng received a mighty beating at the hands of An Lin and his golden defensive barrier was directly beaten out of him…

Qin Feng's eyes were bloodshot as he lay on the ground and his mouth opened and closed. However, he was unable to utter a single word.

What the heck was this?

Forget about having an honorable battle with a powerful Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator. He would never have imagined that he would end up being beaten by a human and dog duo…

No matter how he looked at it, he had been defeated in a dishonorable and unjust manner!

"Finished! Let's seek our next battle!"

An Lin brushed his hands off in satisfaction and jumped onto Da Bai's back.

Da Bai was also very excited. "Okey-dokey. Let these mischievous children recall the fear of being dominated by large dogs!"

Da Bai sprung to his feet and flew off into the sky. Together with An Lin, the two of them once again embarked on their kingly conquest.

…

Up in the sky, Earth Immortal Yue Ying was gritting her teeth. Crack! The pen in her hand shattered.

"An Lin… You cause me troubles incessantly!"

She was already baffled by Da Bai's appearance. Immediately afterward though, An Lin and Da Bai teamed up to pummel Qin Feng. Being a teacher responsible for recording data, how was she supposed to record this data?

Record Da Bai's data as well?

The combat capability of these two dirty swine can indeed be discerned from their battle. However, how should I distribute their achievement score?

Earth Immortal Yue Ying was extremely frustrated.

The more she thought about it, the more resentment she felt towards An Lin.

"Aaaargh! How do I record this?!" Earth Immortal Yue Ying was going nuts.

Finally, she wrote the following down on her notebook:

An Lin—Combat Capability: 205; Achievement Score: 405

Da Bai, An Lin's Summoned Beast—Combat Capability: 320; Achievement Score: 25

"M-hm… These two swine can take half of the achievement score each…

"As for how reasonable this is… that's Principal Yu Hua's problem. I'm only responsible for reporting this, so whatever!"

That's right, Earth Immortal Yue Ying planned on recording data based simply on what she felt!
