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.

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
