"Family Head?" Chen Yu frowned, "Which familyâs head?"
"Capital the Li Family." The figure looked at Chen Yu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Yu was taken aback, "You wouldnât happen to be that baby carriage... No, wait. Are you the niece of the Li family head?"
"Yes."
"Well, Iâll be!"
"Yu? Do you know this little sister?" the chubby neighbor asked with shining eyes.
"Smack!"
Chen Yu slapped him backhand, "Did you fucking call me Yu again?"
"Can you introduce us?" The chubby neighbor, ignoring the pain in his head, excitedly rubbed his hands and whispered in Chen Yuâs ear, "Sheâs my type! So tiny."
"Get lost." Chen Yu waved his hands, "Sheâs underage."
"Isnât that even better!" the chubby neighborâs eyes shone even brighter.
Chen Yu: "..."
"Thank you, Chen Yu." The figure lifted her hood, revealing a head of emerald green short hair, and nodded expressionlessly at Chen Yu, "Thanks for not marrying me."
The chubby neighbor: "?!"
"No need to thank me." Chen Yu smacked his lips, sensing the resentment in the otherâs eyes.
The green-haired girl stopped talking, turned her head back, and continued to rest with her eyes closed.
"What... whatâs going on?" The chubby neighbor almost jumped up, his eyes wide and round, "Yu, whatâs going on here?"
"Nothing much." Chen Yu was not eager to talk more, yawned, "Itâs one in the morning, letâs sleep."
Seeing Chen Yu not paying him anymore attention, the chubby neighbor still couldnât settle down, his eyes sneakily moving between Chen Yu and the green-haired girl.
Feeling conflicted.
"..."
"..."
"Gorgeous? Maybe we could add each other on We..."
"Get lost."
"Alright."
All night.
No incidents.
When the sun rose in the east and the sky was just brightening,
all the candidates in the earthen building were gathered on the first floor by a proctor in a vest.
Once everyone was downstairs.
All 134 candidates were present.
The proctor then stepped in front of the candidates and spoke loudly, "I am one of the proctors for this termâs graduation examination. You may call me... Proctor."
"There are two days left until the test officially begins."
"Starting today, you all have to undergo morning, noon, evening, and night-time urinalysis tests, including random spot checks."
"Any candidate using prohibited substances will be expelled from the examination venue."
"If a âforeignâ candidate uses banned substances, they will also be expelled and their consulate contacted for appropriate sanctions."
"Now, the testing begins."
The proctor waved his hand significantly, his gaze icy: "Females, go to the room on the left. Males, go to the room on the right. Foreign females, go to the room on the left. Foreign males, go to the room on the right."
With that, many staff members, carrying small boxes, directed the candidates to separate rooms on either side of the hall.
"This way."
"Over here, over here~"
"âFB[P..."
Following the crowd, they moved towards the small hall on the right. The chubby neighbor nudged Chen Yu and whispered, pointing at a group of "mushroom people" walking with tentacles, "Yu, theyâre fungi, right? Do they even pee?"
Chen Yu: "That big tube up front, isnât that for peeing?"
The chubby neighbor: "I think thatâs just a leg. How could a normal creature have such a big..."
He stopped speaking because Chen Yu had already unbuckled his belt, put on plastic gloves, picked up a small box, and stood in front of a clay urinal.
The chubby neighbor stared at Chen Yu, eyes wide open, his expression shocked.
The Transcendents in the cubicles on either side of him also wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost...
After finishing,
Chen Yu pulled up his pants, handed the urine box to the dumbstruck staff, and turned around, "Why havenât you peed yet?"
The chubby neighbor: "..."
"Iâll go ahead, wait for you upstairs."
Buckling his belt, Chen Yu walked out of the side hall with his head held high and chest puffed out, and returned to the second-floor room.
But he hadnât been seated for three minutes.
A proctor appeared before Chen Yu with two staff members.
"Chen Yu, right?" the proctor asked seriously.
"Yes." Chen Yu looked up from his phone, puzzled, "Whatâs up?"
"Someone reported that you might be a âmule-transformedâ monster."
Chen Yu: "??"
...
As time flew by swiftly.
Human civilization finally welcomed its special festivalâSpring Festival.
Whether it was the Transcendents or ordinary civilians, all celebrated together, joyfully setting off fireworks and firecrackers.
Even the candidates sealed off in the examination site west of the Capital could clearly see the blossoming fireworks in the night sky.
Since their phones had died one after the other.
Tonight was the "brightest" night they had spent.
"Yu, the assessment starts tomorrow." Standing on the third-floor platform of the earthen building, the chubby neighbor looked at the rising fireworks in the Capital, his tone melancholic, "Are you nervous?"
"Not really." Chen Yu crossed his arms.
"If I graduate smoothly and leave the probationary period, Iâll have the authority to seek answers." The chubby neighbor squinted his eyes, "I want to know why our human cities are often destroyed."
At that, Chen Yu remained silent.
The reason for the frequent destruction of human cities, he had come to know.
But he wasnât sure whether to tell him right now.
"Evil beings" are born from oppression and hardship.
The "Soul Pearls" they produce are the treasures all Transcendents dream of.
This is the core reason why the Transcendent class oppresses ordinary people.
Especially as their "level" increases, conventional cultivation methods become increasingly inadequate for enhancement.
And both the "Body Refinement Secret Skill" and the "Soul Refinement Secret Skill" go against nature, causing great harm to lifespan and health.
