Chapter 25: Rainy Night Surgery, Spirit Master College Entrance Exam Rules

Half a year ago, a rainy night.

The rain fell so deep, fell so earnestly…

As heavy as the day Yiping asked her dad for money and ran into Shuhuan, as heavy as the day Shan Cai left Daoming Si.

Thinking back now, Ye Cheng only realizes that all of it was a setup.

That day, he met up with a female fan who had come admiringly from afar; the two hit it off splendidly, talking from daytime into night, finally ending up at a hotel talking all night long.

Just wanting to experience the feeling of "calling her big sister by day, big sister calling me by night."

Unexpectedly, several black-clad Spirit Masters burst in, subdued him in short order, and snapped a pile of stark-naked photos.

Then they threatened him, forcing him to help them do something.

They brought out a glass jar.

Inside was an unknown liquid capable of keeping organs viable, and soaking in the liquid was an eye as lovely as an emerald, large and bright.

But what sent chills down one's spine was that this eye could actually move, as if it were alive.

You stare at it, and it stares back at you.

The black-clad Spirit Masters demanded Ye Cheng transplant this eye into a person.

Although Ye Cheng could use his Guardian Spirit's power to perform this surgery that defied human medical common sense, he instinctively felt the black-clad men were up to no good.

So Ye Cheng refused the black-clad men.

But the black-clad men threatened him: if he didn't do as they required, they would post the photos online and ruin his reputation.

Moreover, they would cut off his little brother and make it a companion to the eerie eye.

Ye Cheng was merely a Spirit Master who had awakened a healing-type Guardian Spirit.

Before the black-clad men, he had virtually no power to resist.

In the end he could only obediently comply and bury this matter deep in his heart.

Yet he never expected that tonight, here, on a stranger, he would sense a familiar spiritual aura.

This level of medical skill he still possesses, plus Heiye's eye is a prosthetic — Ye Cheng can determine—

The eye in the glass jar came from the man on the stage!

Looking at Heiye, Ye Cheng felt guilty and afraid.

And Heiye just happened to keep glancing in his direction, which made Ye Cheng even more restless, worried the man would seek revenge.

"I see the gathering's results have all been announced; staying here serves no purpose. Why don't we go have a feast!" Ye Cheng suggested, "Mr. Li, my treat…"

"Huh? Where'd Mr. Li go? Damn! The 36D etiquette sister is gone too?"

Ye Cheng scanned the surroundings, found no trace of Li Qingran, and felt a pang of regret: "Should've asked clearly where Mr. Li lives first."

"Divine Doctor Li left?" Wangchuan Qiqqi, for some reason, also felt a wave of disappointment.

Wangchuan Yao appeared beside the two at some unknown time: "Divine Doctor Ye, you have business with Mr. Li? I know where Mr. Li will be going tomorrow…"

…

Li Qingran walked out of the Heihai Hotel and his phone rang.

He answered; it was Wangchuan Yao calling: "Mr. Li, your ID card and the matter of participating in the Spirit Master College Entrance Exam — I've already handled them.

You'll take the exam at Heihai City No. 2 Middle School; the school notified you to come by tomorrow morning.

Probably to register relevant information and explain some Spirit Master College Entrance Exam precautions."

"Good, thanks." Li Qingran agreed.

The next day.

Heihai City No. 2 Middle School.

At the school gate, a luxury car pulled up; a man and a woman got out — the man handsome and dashing, the woman youthful and vibrant.

Precisely Ye Cheng and Wangchuan Qiqqi.

Ye Cheng asked again: "You say Mr. Li will really come to school this morning?"

Wangchuan Qiqqi felt only absurdity in her heart, and replied woodenly: "Yes."

Upon learning Li Qingran would take the Spirit Master College Entrance Exam at Heihai City Second Middle School and would also come to school today, Ye Cheng directly had Wangchuan Yao help secure an exam slot for him too.

The illustrious Divine Doctor Ye, with a shake of his status, became a high school senior.

Ye Cheng's eyes shone bright, brimming with fighting spirit:

"With my twenty years of top-tier people-reading skill, if I want Mr. Li to accept me as a disciple and unreservedly pass on his ghost-driving arts, I can only play the emotional card."

Li Qingran is someone who yields to softness, not hardness.

To learn the real deal, Ye Cheng fears no hardship.

He truly loves medical arts, loves them deeply!

"Does Mr. Li really have that much charm? Worth you debasing yourself like this." Wangchuan Qiqqi led Ye Cheng through the school gates, remarking offhandedly.

As she spoke, Li Qingran's helpless-smile reply seemed to echo in her ears: "The trashiest F-rank."

She felt both amused and pitying.

"Sigh, even if he knows some exotic ghost-driving arts, an F-rank Guardian Spirit has already capped his future ceiling."

Wangchuan Qiqqi shook her head inwardly.

"You don't understand."

"You're not a doctor either."

"You're even more clueless about how formidable Mr. Li's ghost-driving techniques are."

Ye Cheng's heart was intoxicated.

"Woman, you simply cannot comprehend — when a female patient says to you, 'Divine Doctor Ye, I'm sick, give me a shot!' — what kind of achievement that is!"

Wangchuan Qiqqi: "…"

……

Li Qingran walked on the main street near Second High, banner after banner hanging there, foretelling the tense college entrance exam was about to arrive.

"Raise one person up, take down a thousand!"

"Even if we fight until heads are broken and blood flows, we must charge into a key Spirit Master university!"

"Enter Tianque, my senior brother is the Heaven-Direction War God Lu Qianji; enter Capital University, my teacher is the Peerless Water God Xuan Yufei!"

……

Every year, June 7th and 8th are the Spirit Master college entrance exam physical testing times.

Day one, morning is spirit power testing; the higher the cultivation, the higher the spirit power value, the higher the score.

Afternoon tests summoning reaction speed, meaning the time consumed to summon a guardian spirit.

Day two, conduct guardian spirit testing; morning tests examinee and guardian spirit compatibility; afternoon is the final subject, the most critical of all, testing the guardian spirit's talent grade.

Finally, the four test scores added together make the physical test total score.

Only when the physical test total score exceeds the university's admission threshold does one have a chance to participate in the second exam, the interview practical combat!

The interview practical combat is the most cruel!

Fists and feet have no eyes.

Every year's college entrance exam interview practical combat does not lack cases of examinees injured, even deaths occurring.

Following the security guard uncle's guidance, Li Qingran found Class 1, Grade 12's location.

Through the transparent glass window, one saw thirty-some students, seriously studying inside.

These are all Spirit Masters, ah.

On the podium, a woman with neat short hair, heroic and dashing bearing, noticed Li Qingran's arrival, turned her head and asked: "This classmate, do you have business?"

Li Qingran walked in openly and naturally: "Teacher hello, I'm here to report in."

This woman is Class 1 Grade 12's homeroom teacher; her face was cold: "You sit there and listen to class, after class come with me to the office."

The woman's attitude wasn't very good; after all, a transfer student like Li Qingran who entered through the back door was just here to drag down the whole class's key university admission rate.
