N—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning shot without hesitation. Lisa cried out when she saw her husband get shot point-blank, but when she realized that the bullet never touched him, she was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the same thing from back in the train,\" Lisa muttered under her breath, but Ning managed to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it's a barrier. See, it works,\" Ning said and saw the shaking Reever. \"Uhh… sorry about that. I probably should have given notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear Alexis save me,\" Reever prayed. \"Please don't do that again, brother Ning. I was about to have a heart attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sorry,\" Ning said. \"Right, so you know it works. Just keep the ring on your fingers at all times, and NEVER ignore the pulses. They will save your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this works… then it is really amazing, Ning,\" Lisa said. \"How were you able to even invoke such a complicated item?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh… can you just ignore that part? It's a trade secret, I guess,\" Ning said. \"Alright, I will leave for now. See you guys later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning walked out of the room and disappeared, leaving Lisa and Reever to remain amazed at the rings he had just left them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reappeared back in his hotel and laid on his bed, thinking of the next step in what he would have to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, let's go see if they are having some enrollment right now,\" Ning thought and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wandered the street of the capital, eating delicious food on the way, enjoying a carefree life. He visited different stores and bought many things that he may or may not need, but still wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the sceneries, watched the people rush to do their daily job, and finally, after nearly an hour, reached the location he had wanted to come to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aether Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 3-meter tall wall surrounded what was one of the largest buildings he had seen in his entire lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aether tower was made up of some sort of shiny purple rock on the outside. It was a cylindrical-shaped building with a slightly larger middle portion and a smaller top portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked slightly oval in shape but clearly wasn't. Even the very base of the tower was at least a hundred meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah, it looks so much bigger in person,\" Ning thought. There were guards at the gate with people going in and out of the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning walked up to the gate and asked, \"Hello brother, do you know if the tower is accepting students anytime soon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the preliminary test is going on right now,\" the guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\" Ning said with a surprised face. \"There's one right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it will go on for maybe another 2 hours. Once done, there won't be one for another 10 weeks,\" the guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Ning was stunned. 'But I haven't prepared or anything. Oh no, what should I do?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I go and take the test right now?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, if you pass the criteria, they will test you,\" the guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Criteria? What criteria?\" Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to be no older than 40 years. That is the criteria,\" the guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"40 years?\" Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should be younger than that right?' Ning didn't know how old he was considered to be. He didn't have a soul to be tested, so they could only test the body. However, since the body was newly made, and he had only used it a few times even over the last many years when he was in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I am younger. May I go in?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" the guard said and showed him the way. Ning thanked the guard and walked into the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the gate, he saw a long line of people queueing up for something. 'That's the test right?' he thought and went there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made sure to ask a person in the queue if this was the line for the test, lest he accidentally became a teacher another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike last time, he didn't have much knowledge of Aether arts to even be good as a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning waited for his turn, which took nearly an hour to arrive. When it finally did, the line had moved into the open ground floor of the Aether tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him were two tables side by side with two different items on them. One of them was a crystal ball that he had seen before, and the other one was a solid metal block with a meter on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning didn't know what it was, but he walked up to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Place your palm on the metal,\" the person in charge of that table said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning nodded and placed his palm directly on top of the metal plate. He waited for a bit and the meter gave a reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>22\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm… something is wrong,\" the person who read the meter said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's 22?\" Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's… supposed to be your age. But… you are too old to just be 22,\" the person said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Is something wrong with your machine? I'm 36 years old already,\" Ning lied without a single change in his facial expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the inside, however, his heart was beating really fast. 'Damn, I haven't been out for long in this body huh? 22 years is what? 9 normal years?' he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person did something and asked Ning to replace his hands. However, the number still said 22.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have an identity card on you?\" the person asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yes,\" Ning said and quickly asked the system to make one for this country. He handed it to the person, who read it and gave him a pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning then walked onto the next table where he greeted the next person in charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Place your hand on the sphere,\" the man said unenthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning nodded and placed his hands on the murky, purple crystal as he waited for something to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-05T22:46:06.254Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f7cbb50d0e5b23142e28e4518cbaaf2ffb2b476b81d36685ea730395ecb8570","reincarnated-as-an-energy-with-a-system-chapter-419","reincarnated-as-an-energy-with-a-system-chapter-417",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-an-energy-with-a-system-cover.jpg"]
