Welcome to Xiuzhen Academy

Chapter 1 Exam Qualifications
  "The House of Commons was attacked by the Free Army on the day it introduced the new bill"

"Cain, CEO of the extremely fast maglev train, invested 100 billion to build an aerial paradise"

"Hot headlines, famous scholar Isaac proposed a new repair agent formula"

……

As soon as I open the federal network, a bunch of useless junk news pops up.

Yu Qian sat astride the motorcycle, raised his head and shouted to the store: "Hey! Are you ready? If the delivery is late, you will be charged!"

The street lights of the black market in Xiacheng District are flashing, and the colorful lights of bars, casinos, underground clinics, and various signs are overwhelming to the human eye.

Yu Qian stopped in front of a store, waiting for the boss to sort out the goods requested by the customers and then deliver them.

In the store, the slightly bald boss held up a modified robotic arm and rummaged through a pile of boxes: "Stop urging! Wait a minute! The bullet type is wrong!"

She glanced at the news boredly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a red letter suddenly popping up on the homepage——

"The spiritual energy is revived, and the federal empire will usher in a new life"

"What the hell?" Yu Qian was attracted by the unfamiliar vocabulary, "Reviving spiritual energy?"

She recalled: "Such an ancient word can also appear on the homepage news. Doesn't the Federal Ministry of Information have nothing to put it on?"

"Cultivation" - these two words had already faded out of public view long before the establishment of the Federation.

Yu Qian first saw this word in a certain poster's urban legend post. She was so curious that she checked some relevant information online.

Now the word actually appears on the front page of the news.

She was about to close the bracelet, but her hand accidentally slipped in——

"Today evening at 20:00 sharp, the spiritual energy of the Federation Empire will be revived. Cultivators will reappear in the world. The opportunity to ascend is just around the corner. At that time, the Cultivation Academy will absorb new students. Please prepare for the general citizens of the Federation."

Seeing this, Yu Qian rolled his eyes and said, "The Ministry of Information has suffered from collective delusion. Are you going to ascend?"

"It's coming, it's coming! Send it over quickly!" The boss ran out holding a black box.

Yu Qian picked up the box and said, "If the delivery is late, you can make up for the deduction."

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and the motorcycle sped off, leaving the boss's shout of rejection behind.

She looked down at the time and saw that there were still fifteen minutes until delivery time.

Yu Qian stepped on the accelerator to the floor and received a series of curses from behind, as well as several empty wine bottles thrown at him by drunkards who were almost hit.

Time is running out.

She looked up at the road above. It would be great if she could go to the sky rail, so she wouldn't have to take so many detours.

In the dark night, silvery tracks interweave in the night sky.

The houses and buildings in the uptown area are like prey caught in spider webs. Thousands of projected light screens are broadcasting station information. Maglev cars quickly shuttle through the spaces between the spider webs. The dazzling neon lights cover the starry sky.

The time passed quietly to eight o'clock.

The pinned news item disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.

This was just an ordinary night in downtown.

Yu Qian turned a corner and suddenly heard a cold electronic sound in his ears.

[Hello candidates, you are the 31st candidate to qualify for the Cultivation College Entrance Examination]

"Huh?" She felt confused and immediately thought of the news.

She touched her earphones: "Per capita prank victims in the entire federation? Have you started directly invading personal networks now?"

[It has been detected that your physical fitness is average and your mental strength is extremely high. This is a rare talent. I will issue you with the charm cultivation method, which means to get the other person's heart and let the other person solve the problem for you]

[Next, we will simply repair your body functions and then start the exam]

After this sentence, the ears became quiet again.

She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that according to the information she had found before, cultivators were indeed divided into many factions, but she could no longer remember these clearly.

There seems to be some kind of magic cultivation, sword cultivation, medical cultivation, etc.? What else is coming?

"呲——" A harsh turning sound.

Two drunkards suddenly appeared from the corner ahead. She quickly clenched the handle to adjust the direction, but almost hit the sign on the roadside.

Fortunately, Yu Qian reacted in time and turned his head, but his glasses were rubbed off and his head was not hit.

She turned around and cursed: "You are seeking death!"

She is a bit short-sighted, but now she has no time to go back to pick up the glasses, so she can only seize the time to deliver them.

The price given for this batch of goods was very high, enough to feed her for two months. “Holy shit!” Yu Qian’s eyes suddenly widened, and the road in front of him was extremely clear.

She took out a hand and touched the bridge of her empty nose. Her glasses had obviously fallen off, but her vision was not blurry at all.

Could that inexplicable news be true?
  [Repair completed, exam begins]

[The number of candidates this time is 20000, and the number of qualified candidates in the first round is 10000. Once the number reaches the standard, the next exam can be carried out. The first round of tasks: Survive]

……

It's broken, it seems like it happened to her for real.

Resurrection of spiritual energy?

Will we really return from the age of technology to the age of magic?
  It is said that cultivators will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the current federation is probably more of industrial waste gas.

In such an environment, is there still a possibility of ascension?

She was surprised for a few seconds and then dismissed her thoughts.

The top priority was to deliver the goods first. She didn't care about the last sentence of "survival" at all, and had a "take my life if you can" attitude.

As the car approached the wastewater plant, she stepped on the brakes, and the tires made a tooth-piercing sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Yu Qian looked around: "Where are the people?"

She made an appointment to pick up the goods at the entrance of the wastewater plant, but she didn't see anyone when she arrived.

wrong.

Her nose twitched, and there was the smell of blood.

Gang fights here are normal. Could it be that the gang who picked up the goods were killed?

This was too unlucky, the money she wanted to get was just gone.

Yu Qian weighed the box in his hand. It seemed that this batch of goods could not be sent out.

"Save...save..."

A faint cry for help came.

Yu Qian turned his head and saw a black figure lying in the corner of the gate not far away.

She took two steps forward, and her feet were sticky and full of blood.

"Is this the product you want? From Bai Ye?" she asked.

The man was lying on the ground, covered in blood, with a big gash in his chest, his organs exposed, and his pupils dilated. It was obvious that he was dying.

She shook her head: "Why are the methods so bloody now?"

"Help..." When the man saw her, his eyes lit up with a glimmer of survival.

"You're hopeless." Yu Qian knelt down and handed the box to him, "Hey, can you pay the money before you die? I've already delivered the goods. Don't you Bai Ye have good credit? You won't default on your debts. Bar?"

The man's mouth was open, and blood was pouring out of his mouth. He didn't move for a long time and couldn't say any more words.

"Forget it." She stood up, not planning to waste time.

"Gulu gulu." The change suddenly occurred.

After the man vomited a large mouthful of blood, a pool of blue mucus gushed out.

The mucus is extremely viscous and semi-solid.

Yu Qian felt sick: "Do all the guys in Baiye eat slime?"

But the next second, she realized something was wrong.

There was so much mucus, it was as if all the blood in the guy lying there had been replaced with this mucus.

The guy's face became distorted, a large amount of mucus came out of his nasal cavity and mouth, his eyeballs bulged, his mouth opened to the limit, and his entire face was deformed.

Yu Qian felt nauseated: "Tsk, I'll give you a good time."

She took out the gun from her pocket and shot him in the heart exposed by the wound on his chest. The man twitched twice and then stopped moving.

[You have obtained the heart of candidate No. 9762. Since the candidate is in a dead state, you cannot obtain his spiritual power]

[Candidate 9762 is a medical practitioner. You gain his healing power. The duration is thirty minutes and the intensity is 9762%. The remaining number of uses when Candidate 1 is dead: ]

[It seems that you have chosen your own basic cultivation method. Next, please explore the path of cultivation on your own]
