Chapter 379: 378: Defeat the Strong with the Weak
Shao Junyi had never heard of superpowers called “Invincibility” or “Cultivation to Immortality”.
But she had encountered similar situations many times.
For example, the pyrokinetic in their team, before he joined the department, groped about his superpower all by himself and even named it “World-ending Red Lotus,” often fantasizing that he lost control of his power and destroyed the world.
And there was the electrokinetic who, before meeting other superpower users, named his superpower “Dark Thunder,” fantasizing that he was the embodiment of the heavenly tribulation, enacting punishment on behalf of the heavens.
After they have systematically learned about superpowers, they begged their leaders every day to destroy the records of that period.
Shao Junyi thought that Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu fell into this category.
“Sis, can the two of us join the organization?” Bai Hongtu leaned over, cheekily calling Shao Junyi his sister, which was quite despised by Jiang Li.
Does he really think he is still eighteen?
The more Shao Junyi looked at Bai Hongtu, the more pleasing he was to her eye. She thought this newcomer superpower user was quite handsome.
But after all, she had undergone training and would not be swayed by his good looks: “I need to observe you two secretly for a week. If you pass, you will be allowed to join our department.”
Peng Lianghai:
Why was I observed for two months?
And who would announce it if they were observing secretly?
“Who was the person caught by Lianghai? Why do you call him a cultist?” asked Jiang Li.
“That’s classified. You two are not yet members of the organization, so I have nothing to say,” Shao Junyi refused to divulge the information.
After getting a cold shoulder from Shao Junyi, Jiang Li had no choice but to use his Divine Sense to scan the whole Sea City and found all the intelligence at the deepest part of the Sea City branch of the Super Power User Management Bureau.
He knew even more than Shao Junyi did.
In summary, it was a group of people hopelessly longing to rule the world.
A few days passed, and the college entrance examination arrived.
Under the professional attitude of making a complete show, Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li also took the college entrance examination.
“Winner takes all, I’ve prepared for seven days for today, I must get a good grade!” Bai Hongtu vowed. He had wasted seven days in leisure and could not afford to waste the last two days of exams.
“Heh, you dare to say you were preparing after playing for seven days?” Jiang Li scoffed with contempt. As long as it wasn’t a test on “Jiang Li Studies,” he was not afraid of anyone when it came to studying.
Although he too had played for seven days.
The two looked at each other, their competitive spirits high.
“What’s so hard about exams?”
Jiang Li sat in his seat, his Primordial Spirit roaming the world in search of the college entrance examination paper answers.
The exam answers were kept in the high-security vault. The Primordial Spirit of Jiang Li came to the door of the vault when he encountered an unexpected person.
“Old Bai, what is your Primordial Spirit doing here?”
Bai Hongtu’s Primordial Spirit was startled, but he sighed in relief when he turned his head and saw it was just Jiang Li. He thought it was an invigilator.
“Nothing much. The exam is too easy. I fell asleep and my Primordial Spirit slip out accidentally. I didn’t realize it and just floated here.”
Asked Bai Hongtu casually, “How about you? Why are you here?”
“I’m just worried that someone might be peeking at the answers, so I came to patrol. Now that no one is peeking, I feel relieved.”
The two laughed heartily, knowing each other’s intentions well. They returned their Primordial Spirits to their bodies and answered the questions honestly.
“Poetry appreciation, reading comprehension… The language comprehension questions are not difficult. It’s just this final essay.”
“Please write an 800-word essay on the topic ‘Overcoming the strong by the Weak.’ Do not disclose personal information.”
“Coincidentally, I have some insights on this topic.” Bai Hongtu was delighted and wrote down the topic:
“On How the Transcendence Tribulation Stage Overcomes the Mahayana Realm”
“It is well known that the Mahayana Realm is one realm higher than the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. Although not yet an Immortal, it is as powerful as one. Its strength lies in its unwavering mindset, prodigious power, and its unpredictable tactics.”
“Long-standing Master of the Dao Sect once said, knowledge is power. The Mahayana Realm is not unbeatable. The great Sect Master of Dao Sect once said, there are three ways to defeat the Mahayana Realm…”
While writing, Bai Hongtu didn’t forget to quote famous sayings.
Bai Hongtu was inspired as he wrote and managed to write 850 words.
He couldn’t make up any more.
“Please use ‘Overcoming the strong by the Weak’ as the topic?” Jiang Li pondered a bit, then started to write his essay.
“How to Cultivate to Immortality”
“To overcome the strong by the weak, one must change from weak to strong…”
“The quickest way to become stronger is through cultivation. The first step of cultivation is to channel Qi into the body…”
Jiang Li also dangerously managed to write 850 words, only writing up to how to become a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator. There weren’t enough words left to write about the methods of cultivation at later stages.
“What a pity.”
It was only the language comprehension questions that gave them some difficulty. The subsequent math, chemistry, physics, and biology were no challenge at all. The answers to these questions were fixed; as long as one knew the calculation methods, the answers were evident.
They had studied in the advanced Ming Zhong World using their Divine Sense for some time, having already far surpassed the Wei Gu world in their understanding of science.
Two days passed quickly. Both were in high spirits, feeling like they could become the unprecedented top scorers of the college entrance examination.
“How did your exams go?” They asked Peng Lianghai.
Peng Lianghai looked defeated, “There were several questions I didn’t know the answers to.”
While they were talking, a group of young girls with infatuations clutched their pink love letters, their lines that they had been rehearsing countless times ready, wanting to confess their love to Bai Hongtu.
Of course, they had to go wild after the college entrance examination.
However, someone came to Bai Hongtu first.
A luxurious red sports car stopped by the roadside. Shao Junyi got out of the car with a smile and came up to the three of them, “How are you considering? Do you want to join our department? I’ve reported to the superiors. Considering your three’s special situation, they said you guys can still go to university after becoming members of the department.”
“Yes.” Peng Lianghai answered without hesitation. The news that Shao Junyi brought had completely relieved his worries.
“In that case, please get in the car.” Shao Junyi made a welcoming gesture.
“May I borrow your phone?” Peng Liankai asked to borrow Shao Junyi’s phone.
“Hello, Mum. We’re throwing a gathering now that the college entrance examinations are over. I’ll be out partying tonight and won’t be coming home… No, I haven’t found a girlfriend. I won’t be staying over at a hotel. This phone? It’s borrowed from a classmate.”
“What, there’s no caller ID, and you thought it was a scam call? No, no, this is my classmate’s phone.”
Peng Lianghai looked at Shao Junyi, puzzled.
Shao Junyi shrugged, “We are a secret department after all, we need to keep some mystery.”
Shao Junyi looked at Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li with pity. What a pity, these two poor children lost their parents at such a young age.
Shao Junyi had looked through the two’s files. Both of them were children born in an orphanage with a mundane upbringing. They only transferred to Peng Lianghai’s school because it was not a good learning environment during their senior year of high school.
