Inspection Begins

Beside her, Qilin handed over a hair tie she had prepared earlier.

Taking the hair tie, Ashe gathered her flowing hair, pulled it back, and tied it up in one smooth motion.

A simple yet sharp ponytail was done in no time.

She brushed a few stray strands off her proud figure, casually flicked the hair at her forehead, and the naturally smooth locks fell into place on their own.

No extra fuss needed.

Though the hairstyle was simple, it made Ashe look both radiant and striking, while also carrying a unique heroic spirit.

It unconsciously drew the gazes of those around her.

Qilin, standing nearby, was no exception.

Sipping her soy milk, she studied Ashe, who had effortlessly finished styling herself.

Qilin couldn't deny that her "bestie" really was incredibly cool.

Naturally aware of Qilin's attention, Ashe also glanced at herself in the mirror. Ever since she had acquired the system and soul-transmigrated into the body of the Thunder God, Ashe had long ceased to be tainted by mortal concerns.

The skin troubles or weight worries that ordinary people faced

were, for Ashe, things she could only long for but never attain.

No matter what Ashe did, her body would only move toward perfection.

Just like the setting in the game Genshin Impact—

the Supreme Imperial Body.

This body is the most supreme in the world—how could imperfection ever exist within it?

It was similar to the bodies of the angels in Super Seminary.

Both were the most perfect forms, except the angels achieved it step by step through genetic modification, while Ashe was born this way.

Turning to Qilin beside her, Ashe asked, "Done eating? Ready to go?"

"Mm-hmm." Qilin nodded.

She had already finished getting ready herself.

She was just waiting for Ashe to be done, and then they'd set off together.

They found Rose, who was nearby in the next room.

Under her lead, the two of them prepared to head to a secret base of Super Seminary near Juxia City.

From there, they would go to the Ju Xia Hao for further super gene examinations.

Along the way, Rose didn't say much.

But the way she looked at the two of them made Qilin feel a bit uneasy.

Ashe, however, couldn't care less. Having transmigrated from a male identity, she had never been bothered by such things.

Besides, among the conditions she had discussed with Ajie for joining Super Seminary, there was one about being assigned to share a dorm with Rose.

Ashe wasn't joking.

She really meant it.

So, if anyone should be nervous, it wasn't her.

Rose could look all she wanted.

Sitting quietly upright in the back seat, Ashe wasn't leaning on Qilin's shoulder like she used to.

Instead, she closed her eyes and silently engaged in the meditation she had persisted in for ten years.

While earning Nurturing Points, it also served to train her willpower.

And so, time passed, who knew how long.

After switching vehicles once along the way, the three of them

arrived at the sea-bound behemoth of the South China Sea—the Ju Xia Hao.

"Follow me. I'll take you to the people in charge of your examinations."

Waving her hand, Rose led the two of them inside the Ju Xia Hao.

After a while, as the metal door slid open automatically, Rose casually greeted the two women in red military uniforms inside.

"Aunt Lian Feng, Aunt Yu Qin, I've brought them! They're all yours now."

"Alright." The woman called Lian Feng smiled and nodded.

The green-haired woman beside her spoke in a coquettish tone: "Little Rose, how many times have I told you, call me big sister!"

(Note: The green hair here references the original Super Seminary setting. After the later revision to Xiong Bing Lian, Yu Qin appeared briefly, but at the time she was captured, her hair was also green. After joining the demons, it turned yellow.)

"Yes, Sister Yu Qin! Then I'll take my leave first."

A hint of helplessness in her voice, Rose waved her hand.

She turned and nodded to Qilin in acknowledgment, then turned around, ignored Ashe beside her, and walked straight off.

Ashe, who had been ignored, wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she stepped forward enthusiastically.

She greeted Lian Feng and Yu Qin separately.

"Hello, I'm Ashe, and this is Qilin."

"Hello, I'm Qilin." She greeted them together.

"Hello, I'm Lian Feng."

"Hello, I'm Yu Qin. You can call me Sister Yu Qin!"

They shook hands and briefly got to know each other.

Then they walked inside together.

Pointing at two large capsule-shaped instruments, Lian Feng said to Ashe and Qilin, "These are the instruments for your examination. Just lie inside."

"The check-up will be done in a little while, and then we'll know your gene types and corresponding abilities."

"Oh, and you can take the exam while wearing clothes—it won't affect the results."

Glancing at Ashe, who seemed about to take off her coat, Lian Feng kindly reminded her.

Ashe hesitated, wanting to speak. Could she say she was just planning to take off her outerwear, and Lian Feng was overthinking it?

Without explaining, she exchanged a glance with Qilin, and they each lay down inside the instruments.

Lian Feng operated the instruments to close. Seeing Yu Qin beside her, comparing her own chest with her arms moving up and down, it seemed like she was measuring something.

Lian Feng frowned.

She urged, "Yu Qin, stop playing around. Come over here, we'll each take one."

"Alright." She replied briskly.

Then Yu Qin pondered, muttering to herself: "I think mine is bigger."

She quickly stepped forward and began the examination for the two of them.
