Advertisement
Author note: Good morning! Thank you all for following my work! We finally reach more than 100 followers~ Enjoy the chapter!
Today was a special day within the Guho capital,
Adventurers, martial artists, kids from every family and woke up early and started their usual training before leaving home. Everyone without exception was walking towards the Guho academy. Even morning workers who normally already opened their shop was helping their children before leaving home. It was the same for Mi Liu. He woke up at 6 and started his early training with Mi Nyan before leaving the space and heading towards Guho academy.
Inside the Guho's academy hall, the teachers and elders from the school were all reunited discussing amongst them for the test preparation happening today. 3 Days ago, Luo Fei the principal came back and decided to modify the school test admission. Something that never happened until now. They were all preparing the special stage that no one had yet to know.
In front of Guho academy, tons of people had gathered and were waiting for the opening of the admission test. Mi Liu and Mi Nyan were both waiting with the others people. The academy's entrance was large enough for more than a million of people to gather so they usually don't have trouble walking though the academy, but today it was still unexpectedly crowded.
After finally waiting until 10 o'clock, someone opened the academy's door and with a magic device speaker shouted.
"The admission test will start now, please line up and enter in the academy without pushing!"
People slowly entered in the school. Once entering in the school, a badge with a number was given. Meanwhile, groups of people started to form and when every groups finally dispatched with a teacher per assigned per group. Once Mi Liu's group finally arrived at destination, a huge crystal monument was in front of them. The teacher stopped in front of the crystal and shout inside the speaker.

"The first test is the soul force test. You need to have at least more than 200 soul force in order to pass the first test and proceeded to the second test. Please line up one by one and pour your qi energy or magic power in the crystal."
People started to line up. When the first boy touched the crystal monument with his palm, a faint light appeared with numbers appearing inside the crystal monument showing '231 qi energy'.
"You pass, qi fighter category. Next!"
The second boy also proceeded as the same way as the last one. The line slowly advance until it was finally Mi Liu's turn. Mi Liu walked in front of the crystal monument pouring qi energy into the gauntlet and touch the crystal with his palm. A faint light started to shine and numbers suddenly appeared inside the crystal monument that was in front of Mi Liu. '300 soul force qi energy'
"You pass, qi fighter category. Next!"
After watching the crystal monument, he finally relaxed and quickly left the place for the next candidate and waited for Mi Nyan's turn.
After twenty minutes, it was finally Mi Nyan's turn. Mi Nyan advanced to the crystal monument leisurely and totally relaxed that she almost fell. People started to laugh and calmed their hearts once they saw this side of her. They were all smiling and cheering for Mi Nyan. Once Mi Nyan touch the crystal monument with her hand, a bright light illuminated though the whole room and a four digits' numbers appeared inside the crystal monument. The teacher totally shocked shout with his whole body trembling.
"1230! ...Soul force 1230 qi fighter!"
The teacher was repeating the '1230' several times in low tone before regaining his composure. The crowd was all watching Mi Nyan with envy and respect. This is the first time in Guho empire! Someone breaking through 700 was considered as a genius so what about 1230? Even all the renowned expert fighter couldn't achieve such a feat until now. What would happen once she reach 15 years? The most intermediate fighters that reach the four digits doesn't reach more than a hundred not even talking at such young age. It was the first record in the Guho academy. The girl figure has been totally imprinted in Mi Liu's group that day. Only Mi Liu didn't watch the crystal monument and was thinking about selling his pills after the test, so everyone except him heard the commotion. He headed towards the second test with Mi Nyan following him.

In the same group as Mi Liu, a group of people were chatting after the commotion Mi Nyan caused. One of the four boy, Meng Tian ask.
"Hey brother Jian what do you think about this girl?"
Ky Jian was at loss and stared at Meng Tian then finally spoke.
"She will probably become one of the most dangerous and troublesome one in the tournament."
Everyone nodded. With such soul force, even a 5-star intermediate fighter is going to have trouble against her. Since the tournament was a five on five they need to recruit her no matter what. When everyone was thinking to how to recruit her, Qiang Tan spoke.
"But I saw her following someone, she might already have an ally with her. What do you think about her Wen?"
Tang Wen didn't even try to listen to the conversation, but when Qiang Tan glance at him and ask, he opened both of his eyes and with a totally frightening tone said.
"...No problem, I will beat her on the tournament."
"Pffft hahaha! This is really like your Wen"
Qiang Tan laughed loudly. Tang Wen was one of the prodigious child within the Guho empire. He wasn't as strong as Mi Nyan but just the fact that she was stronger by only 200 soul force make him wanted to vomit blood but he suppressed it deep inside his mind. He could only wait the right opportunity to duel her, once inside the academy dual were allowed. With such thought, Tang Wen followed the group advancing toward the second test.

After everyone finally finished the crystal monument test, about ⅓ of the group has been refused. For people who could not even reach more than 200 soul forces, no future could await them in the Guho academy. When they finally headed towards the second test, they directed towards a big colosseum. Inside the colosseum around 300'000 people remained and was gathering and waiting for further instructions. A teacher finally took the speaker and shout.
"From now the second test will start, we already wrote your name, soul forces and numbers. The second test is a match..."
The teacher paused for a moment. But once everyone heard the word 'match' they could only all gulped. The atmosphere tense and everyone was glancing at the teacher urging him to continue. The teacher finally said after a faint smile.
"You don't need to win the fight to pass, but remember to fight at your best ability."
When he finished his explanation, one of the teacher called 2 candidates.
"First match candidate number 54'349 Mu Dean versus candidate number 39'439 Zhu Mei."
And the second test finally started.

Twilight over Arcania
SynopsisA child dies in an alley, but it's not the end.A mysterious entity known as Voice saves the child.The child is reborn in a world named Arcania. A world where magic exists.With a second chance at life, what will the child do in this strange new world?Rebirth Arc (17 chapters - Complete)Liara is reborn in the world of Arcania as a baby. She must grow, and learn of this strange new world.Twilight Arc (Ongoing)Liara makes a place of herself in the world and learns of Arcania and what will happen if she does not intervene.Author's NoteWhat you can expect from this storyThis novel is my take on the resurrection theme. I wanted to write a resurrection story with every element I liked about the theme, but without the elements I disliked. This is the story of Liara. MC's second go at life in a world where magic is real.Arcania is not a nice place. It is my answer to the question "How would civilizations develop if powerful magic was real and widespread enough." I try hard to make a large consistent story in a large consistent world. There will be lots of characters and organizations built to various levels of depth. The story starts small and grows in size and scope.I try to avoid plot armor as much as I can. You can expect at least MC to make it alive quite far in the story. It's the MC's story after all.I spent time building the world before beginning with the writing itself. How continents are shaped, the evolutionary history of the species, the history of the world, the structure of the solar system, the rules of magic, etc... I have planned the whole overarching plot. I have a clear ending in mind.There will be lots of battles and action. From large scale magic battles between immensely powerful beings to small skirmishes. Expect fights to be bloody. In Arcania, magic is just another set of law of physics. It's a natural phenomenon with clear rules to it. Gods exists, they are absolute being that see humanity like a human would see an ant. They are not just really powerful individuals. They act rarely, and indirectly.What this story will not beThere will be no harem element and little to no romance or sex in this story.There will be some comedy and comic relief, but Arcania in general is not a nice place.Fights will be bloody, but I won't write gory descriptions.
