Sky Capital Supernatural Academy, girls' dormitory.
"You won't even dream of the person you like in your sleep~ Because the person you like has already woken up to love soone else~"
Ren Qingqing, who had slept from her bed to the floor, heard the alarm clock and listlessly reached out to turn it off. She stood up, rubbed her eyes, and dragged herself to wash up, her face droopy. Then she sat on the toilet and fell asleep.
"Qingqing, aren't you going to have breakfast?" Her roommate Tang Yihan's voice sounded from outside the door.
Ren Qingqing was instantly startled awake. Utilizing her excellent bodily coordination, which was close to Divine Speed, she almost simultaneously completed brushing her teeth, washing her face, applying makeup, and other Daily tasks. Monts later, a fresh and efficient female college student appeared in the Mirror.
She hurriedly put on her clothes, grabbed her backpack, and headed out, only for Tang Yihan to hastily say, "Armband!"
With an "Ah!" Ren Qingqing tapped her head and hurried back to put on the Gold Armband engraved with the "Throne" pattern.
"Stayed up late again?"
"I didn't want to, but I suddenly found a really good comic to read..." Ren Qingqing shook her head. "And it seems like I had a dream last night; my head feels so dizzy I can't fully wake up..."
"Hurry up, hurry up. Now we can only grab takeaway from the cafeteria."
"Or, Yihan, could you fly there?"
"Oh my, silly Qingqing, I can fly, but you can't. Oh no, it's too late now. Let's just skip breakfast and head straight to class."
That makes sense, Ren Qingqing thought, and nodded helplessly.
The two of them walked quickly through the campus. Every student they passed paused to nod and greet Ren Qingqing, "Good morning, Chief."
"Good morning, Chief Ren."
"Chief, have you had breakfast? If you don't mind, please have these stead pork dumplings."
Ren Qingqing really wanted to accept, but seeing the look Tang Yihan threw her, she could only painfully refuse. "Thank you for your kindness, but I've already had breakfast."
After speaking, she strode away without looking back, drawing the attention of all the students she passed, like a spotlight.
"Truly the pride of the strongest Superhuman Academy."
"Always in peak condition."
"Undoubtedly the Goddess of our Sky Capital Academy!"
"Such Affinity! And she's so beautiful and cool! I really want to attend class with the Chief!"
"I'll soon break through to the third turn; then I can attend the third-turn classes with Chief Ren!"
Ren Qingqing, who was always in the spotlight even when just walking, couldn't help but touch her stomach, but Tang Yihan slapped her hand away. "Mind your manners!"
"Yihan, I'm so hungry..."
Tang Yihan whispered in an almost inaudible voice, "Who knows if there's anyone among these students who might tip off that pervert. You don't want to be dragged out in the middle of the night for a 'lesson' by that pervert again, do you?"
Ren Qingqing shivered and naturally maintained her proud, Perfect, confident chief persona. She walked along the school path with her head high and an empty stomach.
Ren Qingqing, a Third-turn Cultivator, Combat Chief of Sky Capital Supernatural Academy, stood above a thousand other Superhuman Academy students and was even on equal footing with the principal—one of the two most revered students!
As Mysterious Country's most important base for Transcendent educational practice, Sky Capital Academy had always implented so experintal policies. Among these, the "dual chief" system was most coveted by students, and it was expected to be introduced soon to the other nine academies.
The so-called "dual chief" system ant that the two most outstanding students would beco student chiefs. They would gain the special privilege of participating in school decision-making. However, this wasn't a privilege granted by the school; rather, they inherently possessed the power to influence school policies!
The "dual chiefs" were divided into the Combat Chief and the Creation Chief. The inaugural Creation Chief only occasionally attended school and mostly worked at Liaoyuan Technology Group. This group was now one of the most important Transcendent trade resources in Mysterious Country and undeniably a vital national asset.
And the Combat Chief was the Third-turn Cultivator, Ren Qingqing.
In less than a year as a student, she went from an ordinary person, not even an Awakener, to a Third-turn Cultivator, mastering a variety of Spells. In the "Monthly Evaluation" combat power assessnt, she consecutively defended her position as number one in combat power—unquestionably the strongest student, a seed of power!
Keep in mind, the teachers at Sky Capital Academy were only about third-turn level. They were not only unable to compete with Ren Qingqing but even fell behind in Knowledge. Hence, Genius students like Ren Qingqing received specialized small-class teaching, with Tactical Headquarters and the Great Wall sending High-Rank Cultivators to explain more profound Transcendent Knowledge to them.
The Gold Armband and Silver Armband bearing the "Throne" pattern were, in fact, Extraordinary Items bestowed by the academy that slightly enhanced their energy Recovery rate, serving as proof of their Status!
However, for Ren Qingqing, this Status was a nightmare.
She would never forget the night of the first Monthly Evaluation. After defeating countless Awakeners and acquiring the Gold Armband, the whole school celebrated with a grand buffet party. Ren Qingqing indulged herself, feeling she had reached the peak of her life.
Then, when they returned to the dormitory, it instantly turned into Hell.
A man was sitting in the dorm, waiting for their return.
The room was instantly sealed off. Ren Qingqing and Tang Yihan's bodies were put under Imprisonnt; they were unable to move, incapable of Rebellion, or even cry out. In a state of extre Fear, they were dragged in front of that man!
They rembered this man. Compared to them, the students, this man was a real big shot, a Super Strong Being known in the outside world! Even if he did sothing to them, they had nowhere to seek help!
And indeed, the man did not let them go, reaching out his sinful hands toward them...
And took them to the sky—literally.
It was only after they were dizzy from being swung around up there that the man let them down.
He made three demands:
① Ren Qingqing must always maintain etiquette while serving as chief and be the pride of Sky Capital Academy as a Genius student.
② Ren Qingqing had to hold the position of chief for her entire period at the academy, never losing to anyone.
③ Tang Yihan was to help supervise.
If they failed, as encouragent, he would co and take them to the sky to experience the thrill of riding a plane without the plane.
Ren Qingqing was about to go mad. How was she supposed to know that after winning first place once, she had to remain first place forever, and also exhibit the grace and stance befitting first place, becoming "soone else's student," a role model for all students? "I haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating this way?"
"Because you're a Ren."
"But Mr. You Jiu, you're not a Ren!" Ren Qingqing almost wanted to kneel before this man dressed in sportswear.
"But I cannot bear to see soone disgrace that surna." You Jiu, with hands in his pockets, spoke earnestly, "You are... the one most likely to restore the Ren Family Glory, to revive the Ren Family Bloodline. Though so people care and yet do nothing, I care, and I act when I want to."
"Money, future, handso n—whatever you want, I will do my best to fulfill it for you."
"My request ultimately boils down to one thing: Study hard and make progress every day."
You Jiu patted Ren Qingqing's head. "Honor, fa, and prestige—strive for them all. Let the world witness your teoric rise, and make history rember your surna anew."
"Then, openly and freely, with all the glory... join in protecting this nation."
Although You Jiu was sowhat neurotic and chuunibyou, he really did what he said. From then on, there were no more hardships or setbacks in Ren Qingqing's life; she had everything she wanted. But she had to constantly hold herself to the standard of a model student and dominate the academy with unmatched power!
Once, out of curiosity, Ren Qingqing took a lady's cigarette offered by a friend. That very evening, You Jiu took her "flying" again.
When the door was closed, You Jiu didn't care what happened, but in public, Ren Qingqing had to be the Perfect 'Ren Family mber'!
Ren Qingqing was indeed annoyed, but You Jiu was strong and influential, and most importantly, he gave her a lot of money, so she had to swallow her anger and play the role of the Perfect Goddess. However, it must be said that pretending to be soone can beco addictive; Ren Qingqing was almost used to it by now and subconsciously maintained her appearance and deanor.
All the way to the classroom, the students in the small class were very familiar with each other. After all, being able to cultivate to the second or third turn within a year, they were the cream of the crop, true Geniuses, and they naturally sought to build relationships with each other.
And when Ren Qingqing entered, all the students in the classroom stood up and applauded in unison, welcoming Ren Qingqing with an extrely warm round of applause!
Ren Qingqing remained composed. Although she didn't know what they were up to, her 'Perfect Goddess training' over these many days had already fostered a ntality unperturbed by honor or disgrace. She calmly sat down, glanced at her phone, and asked confidently with a smile, "What's this, a new April Fool's Day event?"
"No, it's not April Fool's Day!" a student said loudly. "The Chief is truly the Chief, always stronger than us since childhood!"
"Hmm?"
Ren Qingqing looked at them with so bewildernt, only to see them holding up their phones, excitedly saying, "Chief, you are one of the youngest warriors in the 1999 Star War!"
"What?" Ren Qingqing looked closely, realizing they were all playing a video.
Ren Qingqing realized sothing and pulled out her phone, only to discover that when she had silenced her alarm, she had accidentally dismissed Ren Naiser's push notification!
What exactly did I miss!?
Ren Qingqing hurriedly clicked on the video. What appeared before her eyes was a group of children from various countries, of varying ages, standing in neat rows.
A voiceover with an extrely magnetic tone began, "On January 21, 1999, the Supre Supre brought news of the Immortals Civilization 'Ark' invading Earth."
"The Spiritual Energy Tide on Earth was inevitable. The 'Ark' Civilization, intending to plunder Earth's Spiritual Qi Immortal Source and occupy the center of the Spiritual Energy Tide, aid to dominate Earth, exterminate humanity, and alone enjoy the boundless Spiritual Energy."
"Even after witnessing the Supre Supre's formidable power, the nations remained skeptical, only willing to provide limited aid. In this situation, the Supre Supre used ti-space power to invert causality, summoning a thousand seeds of future brilliance, Future Cultivators, known as the 'Future Cultivators Legion.'"
"Training with an extensive group of pandas, the Supre Supre initially assembled the Cultivators Legion and led them to the cosmos, bestowing upon them the abilities of their future selves!"
"This group of Future Cultivators, all destined to beco Super Strong Beings, faced the crisis of the Solar System in 1999. To protect Earth and defend the Solar System, they fought under the Supre Supre's command. They borrowed the power of the future to battle the Ark Civilization in space!"
In the midst of the flickering stars, two groups of children hovered above two satellites, suddenly glowing with rainbow radiance. In an instant, they all transford into handso n and beautiful won wielding blades!
In the distance, massive spaceships approached, vast enough to compare with satellites, shocking to behold. By comparison, the re few hundred mbers of the Cultivators Legion seed inconsequential.
However, a woman holding a great bow, her beauty outshining the galaxy, shot the first arrow. Countless waves of arrows then crossed the distance between stars like teors, piercing through those dark warships!
Then, a heroic man stood in the cosmos, his body radiating black and white light, wielding a silver-gray lance. He led countless Cultivators. They ford a battle formation with their flesh and blood, uniting as one, and resolutely blocked the vastly larger warships!
Borrowing the mighty power of the stars, the vast power of the heavens and earth, and their own formidable strength!
With re flesh and blood, they smashed through interstellar battleships, annihilating foreign foes!
Watching this video, Ren Qingqing suddenly felt a pain in her head, followed by a wave of dizziness, as countless mories surged into her heart like the tide.
In the video, there were also many bullet screen comnts that felt incredibly familiar to Ren Qingqing:
「Remnant Soldier Army, Hawkeye Group, code SGNB1551, how is everyone from the fifth squad doing!?」
「I rember now. I was born in '94, joined the battle in '99. I was just peeing when suddenly I was summoned by the Supre Supre.」
「With great power cos great responsibility; I understood this at the age of 10. Comrades, are you all doing well?」
「I still recall the joy after our first major victory in 1999. When we returned, we finally didn't have to fight pandas, and we enjoyed two days of non-stop fun and feasting. Thinking back on it still brings tears to my eyes.」
「From Earth to Pluto's moon Nix, I completed a lifeti's journey at such a young age.」
「Where is Zhao Huo? I really want to catch up with our team leader.」
「Right, where is Zhao Huo? The brothers really want to find him.」
「Where is Zhao Huo 1」
「Hahaha, good thing I was in the Hawkeye Group and not the Dragon King Group.」
Tang Yihan curiously asked, "What do they an by Dragon King Group and Hawkeye Group in the bullet screen comnts?"
Ren Qingqing explained, "Didn't you see two units in the video? The archers are from the Hawkeye Group, the lee combatants from the Dragon King Group."
She also breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily I was in the Hawkeye Group back then..."
"It's definitely you!" Soone excitedly pointed at a scene in the video. "I knew I wasn't seeing things; that person is the Chief, right?"
Ren Qingqing looked over and saw her own figure among the Hawkeye Group's Cultivators. Her appearance was almost unchanged, but her expression showed even greater Determination as she drew her bow, loosing a deadly teor at the Galactic Overlord crossing the universe!
Yes, that was her.
While watching the video, mories hidden deep in her brain suddenly awakened in part.
She recalled the details of that battle, how she was held by the Supre Supre as a child, and even recalled the sensation of Joining the Way—
In a flash, many questions about Cultivation and doubts about Spells were all effortlessly resolved.
Ren Qingqing, now with the experience of the Fourth Stage Of Unity Magic, looked back on the puzzles of the third turn as if a college student were looking at middle school math problems, the Strongest King playing in the gold tier, or a Krypton Gold player fighting a Leopard Head Zero Charge. This ntal advantage of lofty expertise was enough to make Ren Qingqing's path to the fourth transformation smooth sailing!
"Chief Ren, do you rember anything else?"
"Sister Qing, what do you think the Supre Supre is like?"
"Chief, what did it feel like to go into battle back then?"
Facing the crowd's questions, Ren Qingqing held back the surge of excitent in her heart. Still maintaining the grace of a student leader, she spoke with a serene and light-hearted deanor, "I was born in '98, and the war started when I was only half a year old. Back then, I didn't think much; I just went into battle with a pacifier in my mouth."
