《Overlord in Cultivation》23. Examination Began!
Advertisement
With the minutes ticking by, the Entrance Examination was approaching, so Su Yan cultivated around the clock like mad.
In the day time he fought with beasts and absorbed Natural Essence by Incipient Scripture in the night time, the speed of his cultivation would be faster if the Dragon Totem had not kept stealing his energy.
Su Yan found that the Dragon Totem was brighter than what it was like three months ago, even its ability to search for treasures had improved considerably. Did it have only one function - locating treasures?
The beast lords of the whole Wilderness 024 decreased rapidly. Su Yan found some mediocre crude drugs by the enhanced Dragon Totem.
However, these crude drugs were not cheap. Once in a while he went to Underground Chamber of Commerce (UCC) to sell them, which made his money reach 200 million Huaxia coins.
Su Yan thought that only in ancient remains, could he get the best out of the Dragon Totem, since primordial treasures were the most precious!
The divine treasures on the earth formed, nourished by natural essence.
As several centuries passed, there were not many treasures between heaven and earth. On the contrary, many treasures hid inside the ancient remains absolutely!
Ten days later, a gale, like a giant eagle swooping over the forest, blew in the forest, and many inferior beasts died from the windstorm.
In the wind, a shadow, like a giant eagle, dived sharply, and then suddenly turned into a golden horse, running rapidly on the ground.
Tiger form, eagle form, bear form, and horse form.
Su Yan had learned four forms of Form-Intention Boxing, and ordeals made Su's mastery of this martial art become more excellent.
"That was really a thrill!"
Su Yan burst into laughter. He fought with beasts and risked his life to battle with beast lords all the time. Wasn't that a great thrill?
After all, beast lords also had the power of the Destiny Spring Realm, so at present Su Yan could only deal with ordinary beast lords. Su Yan couldn't fight with a beast lord without Form-Intention Boxing.
Boom!
Another five days passed, a source of qi and blood burned on the top of a cliff, brightening the night sky. It was like a burning golden crescent moon.
He stood on the ground, night sky was overhead, and his body was like a burning furnace.
With his chest heaving, Su Yan took a deep breath, and the qi made him look like a tiger or a dragon. When he was breathing, qi and blood were boiling, which made the air boom!
Then as he roared into the air, golden elastic waves came out of his mouth, and all the fallen leaves were broken upon his roar.
Even some big stones cracked.
"This is the Furnace of Heaven & Earth of Little Accomplishment? The cultivation of Incipient Scripture has been on the right track. I should leave. After the Entrance Examination, I can go to Huaxia College."
"I wonder if the dean has been back, and I must figure out what happened in three years ago. "
"And that guy Tao Tianhua, who almost murdered me, I will never forgive you!"
Su Yan left here with a heavy heart. Tomorrow was the day of the Entrance Examination.

The atmosphere of all colleges in the Base No.9 was mixed with sorrow and happiness.
The Entrance Examination was too significant, since it was decisive to one's future. Entering the higher colleges was the only way to step into the upper class. If you failed, it would be doomed to be nobody in the whole life.
This Entrance Examination was more difficult than before, which meant the higher colleges had closed the door on lots of the awoken. How piteous they were!
"Have you heard about what Jing Yangyu did?"
Before dawn, a message spread throughout the Base No.9, and tens of millions of residents were shocked by it. Now they did know what a genius meant.
"I already heard about that last night. His assessment result has reached a frightening amount - 513 horsepower!"
"More than 500 horsepower?! What a terrifying power it is! It is five times the physical strength of an ordinary awoken. Jing Yangyu was designated as a core member of Huaxia College as soon as he appeared. It is said that a lot of teachers vie with each other in asking him to become their student.
"Jing Yangyu… Jing Yanghui! Jiang Yanghui will become a golden student of Huaxia College soon, since he is more powerful than some teachers in the college. How outstanding the brothers are! They will definitely become a story on everybody's lips.
People in the entire Base No.9 talked about them endlessly, Jing Yangyu, by his excellent result, overwhelmed all the geniuses in Base No.9, and even the masters of Destiny Spring Realm appeared mediocre in front of him.
Because up to now he was the first one who was designated as a core member of Huaxia College.
"Nice to meet you, Brother Tianhua!"
The haughty look of Jing Yangyu disappeared. Who was Tao Tianhua? He was a golden student and even a second-level chemist.
"Haw-haw, Yangyu, I am one of your brother's best friends. Please don't go to so much trouble about me, or I'll feel I'm being treated as a stranger."
Tao Tianhua, wearing a silver gown, stood beside Jing Yanghui, with a smile. They became the focus of attention.
They were the legends of young generation, and the household names.
"Tao Tianhua and Jing Yanghui! It is said that there are no more than 30 golden students in the whole Huaxia college. Jing Yanghui will soon become one of them!"
"Jing Yangyu will definitely be somebody in the future. Since he is the most powerful in Base No.9 by the strength of over 500 horsepower, his future achievements will be certainly remarkable, and hopefully become a golden student too."
Many residents gathered to watch them, and even walked behind them, to their destination - Frozen College.
"There is no outstanding student in Frozen College. Why do we have to go there?"
Jing Yangyu looked at the gate of Frozen College disdainfully. Tao Tianhua and Jing Yangyu were also helpless. Since they were in the Base No.9, they must visit here. After all, many teachers of Huaxia College were also here.
In Frozen College, all the students gathered in the broad square.
It was really quiet here, and everyone admiringly looked at the group on the platform.

Some students of Huaxia College, including both young girls and young boys, were responsible for maintaining order for the Entrance Examination.
Actually, they were helpless indeed. The errand was not good because most of the geniuses gathered in Huaxia City and many inferior colleges were lacking in talented students. Especially in Frozen College, there was no excellent student who succeeded in entering Huaxia College these years.
"When shall I become a teacher in Huaxia College?", said Jia De. "How dare fucking Su Yan go to the wilderness and lost his life! Otherwise, I would definitely enter Huaxia College!"
Jia De felt aggrieved that Tao Tianhua' s former promise to him must become invalid. The only thing he could do was to stare at those three teachers with envy.
A well-built middle-aged man with terrifying qi was inspecting the students present and gradually became disappointed since he hardly saw any qualified student.
Another elegant female teacher found that Bai Mengying was the only student that she appreciated.
Bai Mengying was very anxious that Su Yan hadn't showed up yet.
Xiang Yang kept his eyes on Bai Mengying's attractive figure which was so fascinating that even the loose uniform could scarcely cloak. There were both fervor and fury in his eyes, because he felt Bai Mengying was looking for Su Yan!
The only old man sitting on the chair, rest his mind with closed eyes. Upon the arrival of Tao Tianhua and Jing Yanghui, the whole Frozen College had an uproar and many anthomaniac girls watched them zealously.
"Elder Liang!"
Tao Tianhua and Jing Yanghui were very deferential. Elder Liang, chief director of various events, had great authority in Huaxia College. And this time, he was one of the chief directors of the assessment of the entire alliance.
When Elder Liang saw them, he raised his eyes, nodding slightly.
It was very silent. Over 400 of the awoken from Frozen College stood here, daring not to take a big breath. The fateful moment was coming.
Teachers from other higher colleges entered the square. All of them were helpless in that Huaxia College was so powerful that they would have all of the most talented students, especially Jing Yangyu, the most excellent student in the Base No.9. It's all cut and dried.
"Elder Liang, shall we start now?"
An old man in Elder Liang's age came over with an obsequious smile, wearing a white gown which made him look neat. He was Lv Anshan, associate dean of Frozen College.
After Elder Liang nodded, Lv Anshan took out some documents at once and said loudly to the students under the platform, "The dean isn't here. So Elder Liang from Huaxia College and I will be in charge of the assessment of Frozen College this time!"
Hearing the word "dean", Elder Liang opened his eyes. The dean of Frozen College, was one of the ten most mighty ones in Huaxia Alliance, whose identity and background were fearsome.
Elder Liang sighed slightly. The Female Asura had disappeared for more than three years. If the Female Asura really went west accidentally, it would definitely be the greatest loss to Huaxia Alliance.
At the moment, a student from Huaxia College carried the test stele and put it on the platform. This was a stele to test strength and could avoid any error.
"The assessment sequence follows the awakening time of examinees!"
Lv Anshan was under great pressure. None of the awoken of Frozen College was outstanding, so there must be many shameful results of assessment in early stage. The only thing he wished was that Xiang Yang and Bai Mengying could enter Huaxia College and win honour for the college. If so, the ranking of Frozen College would rise!
Bai Mengying was nervous, with her beautiful hands interlaced. It was the final moment, but Su Yan still didn't appear in the team.
"The first examinee - Su Yan!"
Hearing the name, Lv Anshan felt whiny. What a huge shame! Su Yan, a student without recognition, obeyed no rules, and was even dismissed from the class by Jia De.
Tao Tianhua's eyes became ice-cold.
"Su Yan!"
Xia Yang was also in the crowd. He laughed on hearing the name "I have never thought Su Yan is a student of Frozen College. He is great. No wonder our Lady said so much to him."
During this time, thanks to various materials of beast lords that Su Yan sold him, Xia Yang made a lot of money and even elevated his status in UCC.
The chief steward of UCC in the Base No.9 also cheered up. He had misjudged him, so now he began to admire their Lady's great insight.
"The second one, Mao Deyun…"
When Lv Anshan said the second name, all the people present were astonished, wondering where was the first student. Commonly speaking, the first one among these examinees should be good.
The chief steward frowned and asked, "Associate dean, where is Su Yan?"
Lv Anshan was in a trance. He had never thought anyone would question. Although the assessment was supervised by Huaxia College, every college, and even UCC had the right to question.
Lv Anshan was about to answer, however, Tao Tianhua frowned and said, "Why do you ask about him? Are you in charge of the assessment?"
The chief steward's face changed. Why was Tao Tianhua so irascible? Had Su Yan ever offended him?
"You don't know the student. Su Yan is a chairwarmer. He must be too ashamed and afraid to come here."
Jia De immediately smiled obsequiously and said, which made the chief steward and Xia Yang feel funny. Being ashamed? How could a man having hunted dozens of beast lords be afraid of the assessment?
"Who said I dare not to come!"
Suddenly, at the gate of Frozen College, a tall and straight boy came in at a good pace.
He was ragged with lots of blood on his clothes, reeking of blood, which made many green and inexperienced children scream in terror.
"My luck is coming!"
Jia De pointed at Su Yan with both astonishment and joy. He was surprised at Su Yan's survival and happy to have the chance to persecute him.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Once you go Wuxxia you never go back. [Not a Parody but moreso a revised wuxxia.]
Robert Nord wakes up from a deep sleep, one he regreted to ever take. Instead of waking up to his well-known, stark, eggshell-white ceiling, atop his luxurious 800€ mattress with down feather duvet and fluffy cushions, he finds himself staring at molden planks of wood, a stench of sweat, blood and iron mellowing in the air. A world of swords that sunder oceans and fists that crack mountainsides. This is a world known throughout the dimensions, a world of wuxxia and xianxia. (This fiction will be parodying many a wuxxia and hopefully do a good job with it. Not only will I try and stress the most ridiculous down-sides of wuxxias but I will also take a shot at making it enjoyable while I'm at it. And don't be fooled by the Lit-RPG tag, after all, every MC needs his secret weapon, regardless how much they try to deny it.)
