Chapter 41: Holy Orchid Yearly Exam
(Jun POV)
Another month slowly passed. Yu Yan already mastered her new ability while Ning'er and Ziyun got good enough with theirs to use it effectively in combat.
Ziyun manages to comprehend the Laws of now and Ice with the help of her new abilities. Ning'er manage to comprehend the Law of Lightning and somehow the Law of Fire too. When I asked, she explained that she had a sudden inspiration and manages to comprehend the Law of Fire after asking Yu Yan for help.
Yu Yan manages to comprehend the Laws of Yang and Darkness and finished adding the Law of Lightning into her Divine Spark. Now she is working on adding the Law of Darkness to her Divine Spark.
As for me, I manage to get some new Laws. They are the Laws of Gravity, Gold, and Samsara. I manage to comprehend the Law of Gravity from training with the Fang Panda's ability. I got the Law of Gold after realizing that the Law of Metal and Gold are two different Laws. The Law of Gold can be used in a more defensive way while the Law of Metal is good for both offense and defense.
Finally, there is the Law of Samsara. It's like the Law of Elements but it uses the Law of Life, Death, and Soul instead. Aside from learning new Laws, I've also added the Laws of Snow and Gold into the Law of Elements.

Since it is time for the Holy Orchid Institute yearly Power Placement Test, I'm currently making my way toward the testing ground with the Girls. Ning'er and Ziyun are walking by my side while the miniature Yu Yan is hiding in my shirt's pocket. Yu Yan wanted to see what humans' current standard of strength is so she tags along with us.
"Jun, how much strength should we show in the test?" Ziyun asks when we are getting close to the school grounds.
"It should be fine to show the strength of Silver 1 rank. That's what I showed when I took the test." Their cultivation techniques only have a minor flaw in it so it's easy for them to hide their cultivation rank like me.
"Alight" The girls nodded.
When we enter the testing grounds it was crowded with students and teachers. As we walk around trying to find a spot, I hear people talking about Nie Li's bet with Shen Xiu. I had forgotten that there was a bet in the first place. They are also talking about how he just beat Shen Fei. It seems that even without Ning'er, Shen Fei still found trouble with Nie Li and challenge him to a fight in the Sacred Family Tournament.
While everyone was gossiping about, no one really talks about me being with both Ning'er and Ziyun. It's considered old news at this point and I scared away all the arrogant 'young master' that tried to hit on them including Shen Fei and Shen Yue.
During the test, most of the students either haven't reached Bronze yet or are rank 1 bronze. The exceptions are Shen Yue who's at rank 2 due to the improved pills I introduced years ago. Then there are Nie Li's friends who score somewhere around rank 3-5 bronze. Next, there is Nie Li himself showing a prefect rank 1 bronze on every test. Last but not least, there is Nie Li's friend Du Ze who manage to reach rank 1 silver.
Of course, those don't include Ziyun and Ning'er. They already reach Demigod rank. They could've broken through to Heavenly Fate Realm already in the Nexus but I made them stop to hone their skills first. Unless you have a cheat like me that can tell you what you're doing wrong and what's right, you shouldn't try to rank up too fast. As for Yu Yan's True Body, she decides to keep it at the same level as Ning'er and Ziyun so she can be their sparring partner.
After the testing, Shen Xiu resigns from teaching because of the bet she made with Nie Li. Since everyone already knows about the bet, if she didn't resign, she'll just be looked down more so than if she accepts the loss.
After the tests are done and we are leaving, I see Nie Li talking to the vice principal Ye Sheng. From what I can make out of their conversation, it sounded like the vice-principal want Nie Li to enter the Heavenly Sacred Border. They asked Ning'er and Ziyun before too but they both turn it down since they know it won't be of help to them.
As we were going to leave the testing grounds, I remember the second Fang Panda that I got from the Nightmare Demon Pot.
"I just remember something. Your girls mind waiting here for a minute?" I asked the girls since this is as good a time to give Nie Li the Fang Panda as any.
"It's alright." Ziyun answer
"Just don't take too long or we'll leave you behind." Ning'er jokingly added.
"Haha, don't worry." I give them both a peck on the cheek before leaving making them both blush bright red.
As I head toward Nie Li, I can hear people cursing me in the background. I know I'll be jealous if I don't have a girlfriend and someone act all lovey-dovey in front of me but since I'm the one that gets to do it… how should I put it… I guess it feels nice. Like I achieved something important.
When I reach Nie Li, vice-principal Ye Sheng already left. He should know who I am since he researched my 'Master.' I didn't want to make the girls wait too long so when Nie Li sees me walking toward him, I throw him the demon spirit stone containing the Fang Panda.
"What's this?" Nie Li asked.
"A Fang Panda. Master said it's a god-level growth rate mutated Fang Panda and to tell you he took the Shadow Devil."
"Shadow Devil? So it was him that took it." Nie Li look at the demon spirit in his hand. "I supposed this guy should be strong if your Master is the one that picked it."
I nodded, "He also said that if you want more god level growth rate demon spirit including those with dragon bloodline, you can go look for him. He's willing to trade with you if you have something that can catch his interest." It wouldn't hurt to have a good relationship with Nie Li and it'll be stupid to antagonize him with the will of the realm backing him up.
"Dragon bloodline?" Nie Li said with a bit of a surprise.
"Yeah, he also said something about them being mutated too."
"Mutated dragon bloodline?!" Nie Li couldn't contain his shock this time as I can see it clearly on his face. "I'll definitely go look for your master later. Do you know where I can find him?"
"Here." I throw him one of my badges. This one doesn't have the function to give him access to the Nexus. It's basically a phone that only connects to a badge I keep on Long Jian. I made a few more like that for the girls and their family for them to contact my Master Long persona.
"This is?" Nie Li asked as he studies the inscription on the badge.
"Just pour your energy into it and you'll be able to contact my master to set up a meeting or make some exchange. If you can't contact him, that mean he's busy."
Nie Li put away the badge. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."
"See you around." I wave Nie Li goodbye as I make my way toward the girls again.
