2 Chapter 2

When Nie Li was looking in Ye Ziyun direction, She felt a strange gaze and looked back. When she turned around, Nie Li has already started talking to Lu Piao, Ye Ziyun just shook her head and sat straight.

'It was probably nothing,' Ye Ziyun thought. She felt that gaze but didn't put it in her mind because she is used to it.

Ye Ziyun's a beauty with white teeth and vermilion lips. She was like a lotus blooming silently, while having an unspeakable cute temperament. This was why there are so many boys fascinated with her.

Her being used to such a behavior is understandable but what was odd was the action of her looking back. She felt that the gaze was somewhat different than the usual ones.

Nie Li was looking in Lu piao's direction while engaging in a conversation with him but Ye Ziyun's actions didn't escape his notice. 'Such an amazing perception, Kids here sure are a monstrosity'

Nie Li has extensive experience as an agent. He excel in hiding his perception, although he was not really masking his actions. A normal 13-14 years old girl should not be able to tell much less pinpoint his general direction.

Nie Li also steal a glance at the Red- Haired Female teacher. Marveling at their amazing sixth sense. 'These Cultivators are amazing, even in such a crowd my actions were not unnoticed by her.'

At this point, Shen Xiu's gaze swept passed Nie Li's body. The action of these thirteen-fourteen year old kids couldn't escape her eyes. She is a Silver rank Demon Spiritualist. She already reached the state of having the mind and body being one powerful sixth sense. Her eyesight was extremely keen. She could even see a fleeing rat over a hundred meters away.

Ye Ziyun has a noble identity. She has the status of being the daughter of Glory City's City Lord, as well as being the granddaughter of the Legend rank Demon Spiritualist, Ye Mo. Not only that, she has a cyan soul realm formed within her dantian. A rare talent!

Only a few people in the Holy Orchid Institute know of Ye Ziyun's identity. If Shen Yue manages to have Ye Ziyun as his wife, it could strongly strengthen the Sacred Family's position in Glory City. This is also why he's in the Fighter Apprentice class. It's also another reason why Shen Xiu is teaching this class.

Shen Xiu reverted her transformation with both of her arms hugging her chest. her eyes swept across the students and said, "For the next two years, all of you are my students. Although the principal mentioned that Holy Orchid Institute's students are equal, I have to let you know the ugly truth. In this world, equality doesn't exist!" Shen Xiu spoke in a slightly shrill voice. Her words were like daggers that heavily stabbed into the hearts of the students.

The students below the stage were quietly listening. No one spoke a word.

Nie Li looked at her seriously, although what she said is not necessarily false, but her intentions are not to motivate or enlighten them but rather to destroy the ambition of the commoners. He can easily grasp the meaning behind her words.

"After you have all grown up and left this school, you will agree with my words. Equality is merely a lie that adults fill you with. You can't be living in a fairy tale forever," Shen Xiu said, lowering her head to look at the students. "Glory City is the only city that has been preserved throughout the Age of Darkness. We are the only surviving humans. Within Glory City there are two kinds of powerful existences.The Fighters and the Demon Spiritualists. A Demon Spiritualist's existence is noble. Only one Fighter within thousands or tens of thousands could have a chance of being born a powerful Demon Spiritualist. Until now, in all of Glory City, only a few thousand Demon Spiritualists exist. We are the guardians of Glory City!"

"Fighters and Demon Spiritualists are divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black Gold and Legend ranks. The higher the rank, the more powerful one is. If a family produces a Gold rank Demon Spiritualist, they can become an aristocratic family. If a family produced a Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualist, they can become a Noble family. If a family produces three Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualists or a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist, that family can become a Major family. We have thirty-six people here. Some come from commoner families, some come from noble families. Although your starting point is the same, your identities are not. I hope each and every one of you has self-awareness and a degree of manners. Commoners will always remain commoners. It's impossible for you to become an Aristocratic family, so do not dream of rising up to become a phoenix. Even within nobility, they have a strict difference of levels that can never be exceeded."

Under Shen Xiu's gaze, the students that were simply dressed in the class showed discomfort on their faces. They were embarrassed and lowered their heads. Shen Xiu, and a few nobles, proudly pushed out their chests and showed arrogant pride. Only Nie Li, Ye Ziyun, Lu Piao and a few other nobles kept calm.

Nie Li looked to his side. Du Ze was wearing slightly worn out clothing. He was clenching his fists tightly, and biting his lips. Du Ze came from a commoner family. His family's circumstance must be extremely tough.

Seeing Shen Xiu's face full of contempt, Nie Li could not help but shake his head, although he can retort against her venomous words, there is no meaning in denying her and then bring about the ire of a powerful nobel, especially when his own future is bleak.

He knows the the reality of the human nature "Might is Right ", If anyone wishes to prove someone wrong just become more powerful than them.

If you can defy the odds, become triumphant and reign supreme. you win and from that point onwards you make the rules, but if you happen to fail then that's it!

As Shen Xiu continued to insult and despise the commoners, The tension in the room keep getting thicker. All commoners were feeling humiliation and helplessness, while all the Nobels felt their ego inflated.

Nie Li wasn't paying attention to any of this since a screen suddenly popped up in front of his cornea. His eyes dilated and surprise was evident on his countenance. He quickly tried to hide his sudden action and peeked to discern, that Shen Xiu noticed his actions.

Nie Li quickly bowed his head and Shen Xiu concluded that her words have effected him somehow and smiled triumphantly.

Nie Li gazed around for a second to see everyone else reactions. After concluding that no one else can see the screen and Ignoring her obnoxious expression, Nie Li paid attention to read the words displayed on his eyes.

[Beep! The System Startup has been established Initiating ..... 25% ]

[Beep! The system welcome the host ]

Nie Li was beyond shocked to see this sudden transformation, he tried his best to maintain a neutral face. Although he was not really a gamer, he has still played some games in his childhood and was aware of this gig, but this sudden development was still too much to bear in a split second.

Nie Li didn't interact with the system because he was not sure if his weird actions will go unnoticed. He decided to first conclude the class and then go to the library to further investigate on this 'System'.

Shen xiu kept rambling along the lines of destiny and nobility and then started the lecture on difference in aptitude and soul realm.

A soul realm's grade is differentiated by the colours: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, azure and indigo. Of the seven different grades, red is considered the worst. It's the weakest to the lowest level. An average person would have an orange or yellow soul realm. Having a green or cyan soul realm could already be considered a genius. As for azure and indigo soul realms, they have only existed in legends.

Nie Li sighed being aware that he belongs to most trash Red soul realm. He could help but steal a glance at the welcoming screen of the system.

"After being tested, among the students in this class, Ye Ziyun, with a cyan soul realm, has a soul force of 86. Shen Yue and Xiao Ning'er both have a green soul realm, with a soul force of 78. They will soon reach 1-star Bronze rank. Congratulations to them!" Shen Xiu lightly said. Her gaze fell on commoners with ridicule in her eyes.

Listening to Shen Xiu's words, the students in the class all cried out in surprise. A cyan soul realm, with a soul force of 86! Such an amazing person is actually in their class. With such powerful talent, she's got the chance to become a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist in her lifetime!

As for Shen Yue and Xiao Ning'er, they also had extraordinary talent. Their future achievements were limitless!

Ye Ziyun's origins were unknown, she was a fresh and beautiful appearance with an extraordinary talent and mysterious background. This made her the most dazzling figure in the class. As for Xiao Ning'er, her appearance was not any less than Ye Ziyun, but her talent was slightly inferior compared to her.

'No wonder, she said ordinary people have no hope of catching up to them but there is one thing she conveniently left out. That is resources!' Their talents were amazing but deep down Nei Li know that they were given lots of medicinal herbs and expensive elixir since childhood, something that commoners have no access to.

"In the Fighter and Demon Spiritualist tests in two months time, I hope that there will be a few 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualists. Both myself and the Holy Orchid Institute will feel proud of you!" Shen Xiu laughed.

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black Gold, Legend, these five ranks are further broken down into 1 to 5 star levels, and thus obtaining a 1-star Bronze rank is considered the starting point.

Once a Fighter's strength or Demon Spiritualist's soul force reaches 100, they can be considered a 1-star Bronze rank. Entering the entry level is extremely difficult. Lots of people are unable to step into the entry level to become a real Fighter or Demon Spiritualist.

Hearing Shen Xiu's words, the students in the class started whispering to one another. In order to become a 1-star Bronze rank Fighter you must to be able to lift up a hundred pound rock, and break a tree as thick as an arm with a punch in order to reach 1-star Bronze rank. For these kids, it's simply too difficult. Unless one has been consuming elixirs since birth, it will be hard to achieve. As for becoming a Demon Spiritualist, one is required to refine a large amount of soul force within their body. This is a lot harder to accomplish compared to becoming a Fighter.

The students in the class all looked at Ye Ziyun, Shen Yue and Xiao Ning'er. They envied them because they are the only ones that could become a 1-star Bronze rank in less than half a year.

After becoming a 1-star Bronze rank, they can then enter into the official Fighter class or official Demon Spiritualist class. At that time, they won't be in the same class as them.

Nie Li bowed his head contemplating his future, he was too eager to see what this system is about, he knows that as he is right now, he neither deserves nor will get any attention and respect, so he just apathetically looked on. He burned the expression of ridicule in the faces of nobels in his mind.

'I have once being played like a fiddle by people with the same eyes as them' Nie Li unconsciously clenched his fist and his eyes were filled with burning resolve 'I will not let anyone to decide my life anymore, Too much..... I have lost too much. The Heavens and Earth are not unfair, Peoples are... They say that cultivators defy the heavens itself and then put label on people depending on their so-called potential, They are all hypocrites.

I shall break this shackle. I will reach the very summit of this world. I have always lived for others but not anymore, The only one I serve now is me. '
