Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 179 Training Camp Completed

Qiu Ci thought so too. She and Juan Shan were both at the Celestial Realm, which seemed to be the pinnacle, but according to the Blue Star's education system, it was only the level of junior high school graduation. It was hard to say whether there were other realms above the Celestial Realm.

It's normal for stronger beings to exist on the Divine Radiance Continent, and the existence of a system makes it even more likely.

Compared to the Federation, whose highest combat strength is only at the Mahayana stage, Qiu Ci thinks that the next base is more likely to be within the temple's territory. It seems they need to find an opportunity to go there and take a look.

“Master, I think it’s best not to let anyone know that you can summon the Six Paths of Reincarnation,” Juanshan said with some concern. “Although this continent seems peaceful, we are not very familiar with this place, just in case…”

"I understand." She knew about developing her strength discreetly, which was why she had hidden her cultivation level in the first place.

After all, only temples on this continent can deliver vengeful spirits from suffering. If someone knew that she could send ghosts into reincarnation without expending merit, it would definitely attract attention. Although she wasn't afraid, it was still troublesome, especially since her current goal was to capture that system.

As for the previous ritual performed at the repair center, she could simply say it was due to the merit she had accumulated, and the Federation probably wouldn't care too much about it.

She had already researched it beforehand; there weren't many vengeful ghosts on this continent. After all, only those who had great obsessions in life or died tragically would become vengeful ghosts. And there were even fewer vengeful ghosts who retained their rationality. Because of their deep resentment, they couldn't find their way to the underworld, so they needed to cleanse their resentment in order to be reincarnated.

Most vengeful spirits choose to go to the temple, and only a small number who cannot leave will stay in the Federation to work and earn some money for incense offerings to slowly cleanse their resentment.

Therefore, the Federation may not pay attention to such a trivial matter.

And indeed, no one came to ask about the funeral rites after that, and Qiu Ci went to work at the provincial team on time the next day.

Perhaps because she had already gotten the teacher into trouble on the very first day, the other two students looked at her with a mixture of guilt and pity, while the little green-haired boy greeted her with delight.

"Teacher Chu, you're out! That's great! I was just about to ask my uncle to bail you out. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Qiu Ci didn't explain in detail, only briefly mentioning that it was a misunderstanding, and then continued with the class.

Whether it was from being scared by the haunted house or from being taken away by the repair center, Qiu Ci was pleasantly surprised to find that the other two students were indeed showing signs of developing swordsmanship. Their swordsmanship was no longer just fancy moves, but had gained a sharp edge.

It seems that the method Little Green Hair suggested was effective. Of course, she couldn't take them to the haunted house again, and going to such a place a second time wouldn't be very effective. So she simply set up several illusionary formations in the training ground, letting them experience life-and-death crises in the illusions, hoping they would eventually find Kenshin.

As it turns out, they truly lived up to their reputation as talents selected from the provincial team. In less than ten days, the two underwent a complete transformation. Not only did their swordsmanship become sharper, but their sword energy also became more solid. More importantly, they found their sword heart and were even moving towards the direction of sword intent.

Even Little Green Hair felt a sense of crisis, and trained like he was on steroids every day, immersing himself in the illusion and not wanting to come out.

Time flies, and the national league is about to begin. After Qiu Ci removed the illusion array, all three of them were still a little reluctant to leave.

The national competition was held in Beijing, and the provincial teams gathered together and went there via a large teleportation array. Qiu Ci saw Feng Shanming again in the team and noticed that his cultivation had improved again and was almost at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, all in just one month.

However, his cultivation level remained as weak as before, and it was unclear whether it was due to his own cultivation or the help of the system.

Just then, as if sensing something, Feng Shanming turned around and looked in their direction. They initially thought he was looking for Little Green Hair, but unexpectedly, his gaze fixed on her, even scanning her up and down. A dark glint flashed in his eyes before he coldly snorted and looked away. Qiu Ci: "..." What does this mean? Does he hold a grudge against her?
No, I don't even know him.

She soon found out what was going on, because the conversation between the two people had already reached her.

"That person is Wei Yan's newly hired mentor?" He looked at him with disdain. "I thought the teacher who could help that good-for-nothing reach the Core Formation stage would be some kind of powerful expert, but it turns out she's just a woman! System, scan her information."

[Ding! Scanning...zzzz...scanning...zzzz...error...zzzz...damage...zzzz...]
"What's going on? System! System!" Feng Shanming's expression changed and he began frantically calling out to the system, but all he could hear in his mind was the crackling sound of electricity.

What he couldn't see was that the small ball of light floating in front of him had already begun to emit white smoke.

Even Juan Shan, who was watching, couldn't help but whisper to the dog system, "Lord Xingchen, what is this?"

The dog system arrogantly flew around once, and an emoji popped out from the ball of light, hands on hips, laughing wildly.

()

[Hahahaha, daring to scan its owner? I've seen people courting death, but I've never seen anyone courting death this badly.]

"Dog system, give it some information." Qiu Ci reminded it in time. She wanted to capture the system to ask the base, so she couldn't just let it explode like this.

【Good master! 】

Feng Shanming over there became increasingly anxious, and even his classmates and teachers noticed his unusual behavior and gathered around to ask him questions.

The electrical noise in Feng Shanming's mind stopped, and the familiar electronic voice returned.

[Ding! Scan complete. Name: Chu Qiuci, Identity: Temporary Special Instructor of the Repair Management Bureau, Cultivation Level: Peak Nascent Soul Stage.]
"System, what just happened?" Feng Shanming didn't have time to check the information. After dealing with his classmates and teachers, he anxiously asked about what had just happened.

[Just now?] The system that froze clearly has no memory of what happened.

Feng Shanming had no choice but to recount what had happened.

[Ding, program self-check initiated... Self-check in progress... Self-check complete! System programs are functioning normally, host, this system is healthy.]
Feng Shanming: "..."

So, was he deaf just now?

Feng Shanming was filled with doubts, feeling that something must be wrong with the system, but he couldn't figure out why. So he put it aside for the time being and looked at the information that had just been detected. He felt much more at ease.

"His cultivation level is actually the same as mine, just a Nascent Soul stage. Only a fool like Wei Yanxin would think he's found a good teacher." His eyes were full of mockery. He gritted his teeth as he thought of something and said, "It's a pity that it's hard to meet opponents from the same province in this national league, otherwise I would definitely crush him on the field again."

He clearly still harbored resentment towards Little Green Hair for forcing him to reveal his cultivation level during the provincial competition, and he kept spouting all sorts of harsh words along the way, causing Qiu Ci and Juan Shan to frown. Fortunately, they finally arrived at the teleportation array.
