But he got it backwards.

It wasn't just him who got it wrong; probably everyone who doesn't know Jiang Yuqing got it wrong too.

First of all, Jiang Yuqing is a boy.

Secondly, although the listless girl was a bit tall, she still gave off the impression of being a girl.

Who would have thought that the one who looked like a "girl" from any angle was actually Jiang Yuqing!

Lin Zhaoqin said resentfully, "When I was in Donghua Province, I also thought he was a girl. I even invited him to my house and called him 'sister' for a long time. But the next day, the teacher told me, 'Qin, puppy love is not good.'"

Zhong Kun burst out laughing.

Lin Zhaoqin punched him and continued, "Don't blame me, anyone who sees him for the first time will assume he's a girl, but once you know he's a boy, he looks less and less like a girl."

Li Yang stared at the video for a while and said, "It is indeed quite strange."

She initially thought it was a girl, but as she looked at it more, it didn't seem like a girl anymore; it was a boy with overly delicate and beautiful features.

Despite their seemingly low-key and unassuming demeanor, Star-Slaying Military Academy attracts even more attention, with numerous discussion threads already emerging on the school's forum.

"I heard that two students from the Star Slaying Secret Realm entered this time when the Star Ash Mystic Realm opened?"

"Why should we give up our spots to them? We don't even have any left!"

"What else could it be? Money talks!"

"But..."

"Wake up, kid. Even if you get in, you'll be nothing. You'd be better off selling yourself for resources to give back to the school."

The rumors that Lin Zhaoqin heard were obviously known to others on the school forum as well.

"I've heard that Jiang Yuqing is exceptionally skilled at alchemy, able to refine dozens of pills in an instant!"

"Holy crap, dozens of them? What the hell? He's only at the Second Grade Realm!"

"Heavenly Fortune Bearer! He's definitely Pill Dao Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer."

"Oh no... How come Star-Slaying Military Academy has gotten another Pill Dao Heavenly Fortune Bearer? Does Central Capital Pill still have a future?"

"I want to change my major..."

"Don't bring colored pencils!"

"Exactly! Instead of thinking about revitalizing their own department, they're only thinking about switching departments. No wonder our Central Capital Pill Department has declined!"

"Stop with the moral blackmail. We're just assembly line workers in an alchemy factory; what kind of revitalization are we talking about for the Pill Department?"

"The Pill Department doesn't treat us like human beings! We work 16 hours a day, and nobody speaks up for us!"

"Piece-rate wages, no mandatory working hours, isn't it just that you're greedy and want to make more money!"

Seeing that the topic was getting a bit off track, someone said, "Star Slaying! This is not the time for internal strife; we need to unite and fight together against a common enemy!"

"You heard about it upstairs too, right? The Star Slaying Pill School said that they only sent two people into the country, but the quantity and quality of their pill refining far surpassed the 18 students from our Pill Department who entered."

"Holy crap, this is like slapping them in the face!"

"An internal truce! Although I dislike the Pill Department, I will not allow people from other schools to insult our Central Capital First Military Academy like this!"

At this point, someone posted a list of the 18 students from the Pill Department who had entered the country.

"Surely not, these are all top students in our Pill Department!"

"I think that Star Slaying is arrogant! How could he possibly compare to the eighteen Arhats of our Pill Department all by himself!"

"Huh... our Pill Department has eighteen arhats?"

"Starting today! We've got it!"

"..."

The Central Capital campus forum Chaochao, but no one paid any attention to Li Yang.

Admittedly, Li Yang made a remarkable debut in the minor exam of the Pill Department, but compared to the Tree Tower incident and his first place in the monthly exam, it was really insignificant.

Someone did mention it, but nobody paid any attention.

So what if Li Yang is a minor in the Pill Department?

She's definitely going to the Star Ash Mystic Realm to accelerate her cultivation; she won't have time to concern herself with the disputes within the Pill Department.

Until someone copied a post from the Star Slaying Forum to the Central Capital School Forum.

"What?! How could Li Yang be Pill Dao Heavenly Fortune Bearer?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if she is Heavenly Fortune Bearer, she would only be Heavenly Fortune Bearer from our Star Combat Department!"

"I get it! This is the Star-Slaying Military Academy's strategy, how vicious!"

How so?

"They know perfectly well that Li Yang is the strongest and most famous rising star in our 301st class, but they can't possibly beat her in combat. So they deliberately promoted her as Pill Dao Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, hoping to promote themselves by belittling her!"

"Jiang Yuqing is the top Star Slaying, and Li Yang is the top freshman in Central Capital. If Jiang Yuqing defeats Li Yang in alchemy, wouldn't that mean Star Slaying Central Capital trampled Zhongdu underfoot?!"

"What... what a vicious scheme!"

"So we can't be fooled. Li Yang isn't some Alchemical Dao Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer; she's Heavenly Fortune Bearer from our Spirit Department!"

"Yes! He's our Spirit Department's Heavenly Fortune Bearer!" The Star Combat Department students who shouted this were a little confused: they felt like something was off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

The students from the Star Magic Department rolled their eyes. "Those bastards from the Spirit Department are smuggling in their own agendas again."

The students from the Spirit Department even posted messages on the Star Slaying Forum: "We suspect Jiang Yuqing is Heavenly Fortune Bearer from the Spirit Department. We invite him to compare his Spirit Points with our Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer!"

The students of the Star-Slaying Military Academy: "Huh? What nonsense! Their Star Slaying Spirit Department is just for show!"

Furthermore, Jiang Yuqing are clearly Heavenly Fortune Bearer Dao Yi, what do they have to do with the Spirit Department?!

Soon, the students from the Central Capital Spirit Department answered their questions, "Our Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Central Capital Spirit Department is Li Yang! Come on, Jiang Yuqing, let's settle this in the realm of the spirit!"

Star-Slaying Military Academy was no pushover either; they also used their infiltrated accounts at the Zhongdu Military Academy to post replies.

There are three hours left until the Star Ash Mystic Realm opens.

The verbal sparring cadets from the two military academies are already locked in a fierce battle.

Zhongdu Military Academy, First-Class Dormitory Area.

The Jiang Family was settled here.

Wei Cang had a phone in his left hand and another in his right, browsing the forums of two different schools and reading news from various sources.

He grew increasingly nervous as he looked, then turned to look at Jiang Yuqing, who was sprawled out in the room like a boneless statue, and said, "Qingzi..."

Call me Qingqing.

Wei Cang hesitated, then could only ask with a constipated look, "Qingqing, are you sure you can do it?"

Jiang Yuqing raised his hand, and without him doing anything, a pill appeared out of thin air.

Wei Cang: "!" Even though he had seen it several times, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

Jiang Yuqing put away the pill, closed his eyes to rest, and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

Wei Cang repeatedly replied, "Okay, okay."

The dormitory is empty.

Jiang Yuqing appeared to be resting his head on his arms and staring at the ceiling, but in reality, there was a system panel in front of him that no one else could see.

The professors at the Star-Slaying Military Academy all said he was Heavenly Fortune Bearer, but Jiang Yuqing didn't really understand what it meant to be Heavenly Fortune Bearer.

Although his surname is Jiang, he is from a very small branch of the Jiang family. His parents are only Third Grade Realm Star Wielders and have no status in the Jiang Family.

During Jiang Yuqing's senior year of high school, she suddenly acquired a "Shock System".

That's right, the system's name is indeed that strange.

Besides displaying his personal information, the system panel also showed a strange numerical value.

Shock Points: 10 points.

After some trial and error, Jiang Yuqing discovered that whenever his behavior was shocking, he would gain a corresponding amount of Shock Points.

As for the use of this Shock Points...

Jiang Yuqing didn't know that at the time, but it wouldn't hurt to save up some money.

Anyway, he has many shocking aspects, such as... being a man with a woman's appearance.

During the practical exam in Donghua Province, Jiang Yuqing was determined to shock everyone and gain a huge amount of Shock Points, but unexpectedly, someone named Li Yang stole the limelight and took away the Shock Points that should have belonged to him.

From that moment on, Jiang Yuqing remembered that name.

Later, by chance, the top twenty students in Donghua Province all followed Li Yang to the Zhongdu Military Academy, but he alone went to the Star-Slaying Military Academy, which gave him some more Shock Points.

Once Jiang Yuqing arrived at the Star-Slaying Military Academy and successfully guided the star into his body, the Shock System finally had a chance to prove its worth.

Shock Points can be used for rapid alchemy!

For example, this Star-Attracting Pill, under normal circumstances, would take him three hours to refine at his original level, but he only needs to consume some Shock Points to shorten the time to one second!

In extreme cases, he can even reduce the time to 0.1 seconds.

However, it's not really necessary, and it consumes too much Shock Points, so it's not cost-effective.

Jiang Yuqing initially didn't want to reveal his extraordinary ability, but if he didn't, the Shock Points would accumulate too slowly, especially after everyone knew he was male, they would basically no longer be shocked by his "female appearance".

The rest wasn't anything particularly surprising.

Only the alchemy process...

Anyone who sees it will be shocked.

Those who are easily shocked can even remain shocked indefinitely.

For example, Wei Cang was one of the "shocking individuals" discovered by Jiang Yuqing.

This kid looks respectable, but he's actually very easily surprised. He's seen alchemy dozens of times, and it still manages to Shock Points him time and time again.

Jiang Yuqing checked her system panel for a while and was very satisfied with the Shock Points she had accumulated.

I really had to make a trip to the Zhongdu Military Academy.

Just walking around the campus, before even revealing my identity, I already garnered a lot of Shock Points.

It's a pity he's too concerned about his image; if he had just worn sexy women's clothing, the Shock Points would probably have been even greater.

That's enough...

One must have some sense of shame in this life.

Jiang Yuqing silently calculated in her mind. "It's a pity that the Star Ash Mystic Realm can't be live-streamed, otherwise I could have gained a lot of Shock Points..."

But it's alright. I can make a killing before entering the country tomorrow. Once I'm in, I need to find as many students from the Central Capital Pill Department as possible... Two months is enough time to squeeze them dry.
