Chapter 4, Enchanted Creatures

Qin Linye suddenly looked up and saw several beams of sword light simultaneously soaring from the direction of the Guardian Tower and the White Frost Building, accompanied by the explosive sound of breaking the sound barrier.

"With the sword, breaking the sound barrier, this is a great practitioner who has mastered the vital energy!"

The Xiyu Kingdom has implemented twelve years of compulsory education

Qin Linye looked on, his eyes also filled with envy

A large number of glass shards fell from a height, some even injuring pedestrians nearby, causing a gasp of surprise from the crowd

Faintly, he could hear a voice coming from the phone: "This is the four hundred and ninth incident of magical creatures attacking human cities in Yunzhou this year... There is likely a medium-sized pollution source in the wilderness of Yunzhou... Has the summoned team of cultivators not yet assembled..."

Qin Linye quickly grabbed Liu Heng, who was about to step forward: "Just now, four or five great cultivators who have mastered the Qi were dispatched all at once in the city. This demonic creature is at least level 11 or higher, and it may carry a source of contamination. If we get contaminated, we will also be demonized! Even if we administer the suppression agent immediately, we will still need to be isolated for several months!"

At this moment, Sun Xiaozhen's voice rang out once again: "Students taking the cultivation examination, report to the Yunxiao Hall; martial arts examinees, report to the Shangwu Hall. You will spend the next six months there. I hope that after six months, everyone will be able to enter a school that meets their satisfaction. Whether you can leap over the dragon gate depends on your own efforts. Other examinees, please stay behind."

As soon as these enchanted creatures appear, they will be killed by the army composed of cultivators and warriors stationed in the city, which does not affect the normal operation of the city's order

"It has been a month since we last met, why not come up and say hello?"

Not only he and Liu Heng, but more than half of the people on the street are like this

As a metropolis with a population exceeding 10 million, Minghua City is home to numerous powerful individuals. While it cannot be claimed that there are true immortals, the number of high-level cultivators certainly reaches double digits

As Qin Linye had just rushed to a shop, he witnessed four beams of sword light dazzling the void, soaring past and leaving a trace in the sky.

However, this is not the time to consider such matters. Under the air raid siren, everyone quickly left the spacious and well-lit streets and hurried towards places where they could take cover

Demonic Creatures

Immediately afterwards, Liu Heng, who was also riding a bicycle, came to a stop

Liu Heng said in a low voice

Liu Heng listened, and a trace of fear flickered in his eyes

Flying with a sword!

With a tone of slight regret, he was quickly pulled away by Qin Linye, distancing themselves from that demonic creature.

Liu Heng was extremely excited

Liu Heng leaned closer to Qin Linye, tapped his shoulder, and with a glance indicated a young girl with a ponytail, dressed in a white blouse, who appeared youthful and charming: "Wang Zhizhi has also arrived"

Having returned the car, Qin Linye and Liu Heng hurriedly ran into this school, which covers an area of 400,000 square meters

Sword Cultivation

... ...

Since the ninth grade, students experience physical growth and their skeletal structure begins to develop. In addition to regular students and those preparing for arts examinations, there are also students preparing for martial arts examinations and those preparing for physical education examinations

Tsk tsk, do others not know what I already know?

Looking at the posted candidates for the examination, the classmates quickly began to discuss among themselves

Qin Linye did not refute this.

Qin Linye withdrew his gaze and began searching for the bicycle together with Liu Heng

How wonderful it is to be a practitioner; as long as one obtains the practitioner certificate, one can immediately rise to prominence, enjoying tax exemptions, free tickets, visa waivers, travel discounts, and a plethora of privileges at one's fingertips

It is a mutated creature! ? This is the first time I have seen a living mutated creature, let's go take a look!

Whoosh

Miss Wang is indeed going to cultivate immortality

Liu Heng exclaimed

One day, I too will be able to soar freely at the pinnacle of the sky, eliminating all those enchanted creatures that threaten the safety of human cities

Master's degree? Not to mention whether one can gain admission to a graduate school, even if one is admitted, it is not guaranteed that they will obtain a master's degree upon graduation. Without a master's degree, all the investments made over the years would be in vain

All 104 students in the class have arrived for their daily school activities and self-study

Was it a misunderstanding, or is there something being concealed above? Is what has been reported the kind of information that cannot be hidden?

Qin Lin glanced at that police officer

It is getting late, yet you remain so leisurely

A thousand years ago, although the Demon Star was defeated, it left behind numerous sources of pollution in the wilderness. Some beasts and plants were affected by these pollution sources, resulting in mutations that transformed them into demonic creatures, which exhibit a strong aggression towards the human race

In our class, there are six students with special talents in arts and sports, nineteen students preparing for martial arts examinations, four students preparing for religious studies examinations, and the remaining are regular students

Do not go over there

Obtaining a master's degree is not an easy task either

Qin Linye's pupils narrowed

Qin Linye said with a smile: "Since you have applied, you must work hard. I am waiting for you to become a Sword Immortal and take me flying on your sword, soaring through the vast skies."

You are blatantly showing off

The proud son of heaven, Qi Qingyun, who is one year older than him, is still one step away from becoming a true "cultivator".

This is a means that martial artists in the early stages can hardly aspire to.

Leaves

Over the years, although human monks and warriors have eliminated pollution sources near the cities, there still exist numerous pollution sources in the wilderness. Furthermore, these pollution sources can self-replicate and attach themselves to corrupted creatures, allowing them to migrate. As a result, the Nine Sects and Twenty-Four Nations of humanity have been unable to eradicate this problem.

The incident of 409 magical creatures attacking human cities

As Qin Linye was distracted, a shout came from ahead.

Just as Qin Linye was pondering, a piercing air raid siren cut through the sky

At this moment, Teacher Sun Xiaozhen entered from outside and posted the list of candidates for the examination

Qin Linye felt a slight heaviness in his heart

What is there to fear? Today we will be divided into classes for the final push, as cultivation is a very personal matter

Ten minutes later, Minghua No. 1 Middle School appeared before Qin Linye.

I know that she hasn't been to school for a month, and I heard that she has already captured the energy sensation and is currently consolidating her internal breath. I wonder if she has succeeded.

Once one obtains a master's certificate, various privileges are granted, and one's status and position immediately rise. Even without engaging in any work, merely holding a position in a private enterprise can assist in tax reductions, much like the ancient scholars.

Before long, two cultivators arrived on flying swords, landing beside the demonic creature to stand guard.

Have you applied to the School of Cultivation?

Level 11 enchanted creature

There are only four candidates registered? Liu Heng, Zhang Jiufeng, Xu Chuchu, Wang Zhizhi?

Accompanying the sword energy was a terrifying bird of prey, resembling a giant eagle, with a body length exceeding 20 meters, descending rapidly.

Air raid

One must quickly master a life-saving skill

I feel that I am not cut out for this, but my parents still want me to give it a try to see if I can gain admission to the academy of cultivation

Today is the day for the classification of the four types of candidates

At this moment, a large number of security personnel quickly drove away the pedestrians beside the mutated creature, shouting: "Step aside, quickly step aside, be careful, this creature is carrying a source of contamination!"

I am stating the facts; there are millions of candidates in the country each year, with hundreds of thousands applying to the institutions for practitioners, yet fewer than ten thousand are admitted. However, after six years of study, the number of those who can actually obtain a master's degree from among the ten thousand is less than a quarter.

A century ago, during a time when cultivation was not yet widespread, news of cities being breached and slaughtered by demonic creatures could be heard almost every year. Even now, from time to time, demonic creatures still roam within a radius of one hundred kilometers around the cities.

Qin Linye looked at Wang Zhizhi, who was surrounded by several people in the center, and shook his head: "We are just ordinary deskmates."

However, he has only recalled fewer than ten incidents this year

Liu Heng said with some annoyance

Crackling!

The bird struck a building of about twenty stories like a meteorite, violently smashing the walls and glass into fragments. The terrifying inertia was such that even the steel and concrete within the walls could not fully absorb it, allowing the bird's massive body to pierce through and continue its momentum, crashing into another building just a hundred meters away from Qin Linye, before sliding down the wall and crashing heavily onto the ground

Woe! Woe!

Liu Heng's eyes lit up: "The path of cultivation is divided into six major realms: Qi Refinement, Innate, Sword Control, True Dan, Primordial Spirit, and Void Refinement. Only upon reaching the Sword Control realm can one be considered a true cultivator, at which point a cultivator certificate is issued. Sword Flight is the second stage of Sword Control, corresponding to the eighth level of the cultivation path... Tsk tsk, I wonder if I can reach this level of cultivation before I turn twenty-five."

While two individuals were searching for a bicycle, a member of the security team brushed past them while talking on the phone

The admission rate for the cultivation academy is too low. If one does not take the entrance exam for the cultivation academy and studies diligently, they can still gain admission to a good university. However, preparing for the cultivation academy requires a full six months of intensive training. If one fails the academy's assessment, it results in a six-month delay in their studies, making it questionable whether they can still gain admission to a good university.
