This damn ghost! Fearing that I would forcibly keep him at the Northern Border, he sneakily slipped away!
Anna was so angry that she started destroying everything around her, smashing everything smashable, before finally turning her gaze to the still intact bottles and jars.
These items… I agreed to not take a single dime, letting Lu Country take them all, but only if Yan Yu personally came to collect!
Hm? I’m afraid he won’t report back to his superiors. In that case, I might as well have a talk with the Lu Country ambassador—let Sullivan handle it!
——————————
But speaking of Yan Yu, he gave the excuse of “hurry up and refine the nerve center of the Mysterious Realm” to leave Xiankong Island Mysterious Realm in Anna’s hands and quickly left the Wuya Station. He found an exit at the edge of the island and escaped.
The good thing about this test-type Mysterious Realm is that whenever you don’t want to continue the test, you can still find an exit on the periphery of the Grotto Heaven; if it were one of those evil cult Mysterious Realms, you’d be stuck inside for life if you didn’t completely refine the control center.
As for why he left without saying goodbye, it goes without saying. It’s not that he feared Anna would force herself on him (what a joke, her?), but Yan Yu was worried he couldn’t control himself.
As the world’s strongest, he was not only powerful and skilled, but also virile and vigorous. When there’s no food, he could still resist hunger, but it’s another story when a feast is being pushed right up to your mouth. If he carelessly took a bite… whoa, without the Primordial Yang, what would happen to his Golden Core rank?
Yan Yu trusted in his Steadfast Will, but he trusted his wisdom even more, not letting himself reach a point where his will needed to be tested.
Farewell, Anna! I will go back and train my body. Once I form the Golden Core, I will surely satisfy you!
Returning to Jinling Prefecture with Sword Control, Yan Yu headed straight to the school and went into Li Weiguo’s office, asking nonchalantly:
“I’m back from leave. I heard there’s some solo mission for me?”
“You returned quite quickly.” There were no outsiders in the office, and Li Weiguo didn’t mind his casual attitude, pointing to a stack of documents on the table, “Pick one from there.”
Yan Yu picked up the documents and began to look through them carefully.
The mainstream strength at this stage, which is most of the Team Monks, are focusing on cultivating to reach the Chonghua Mansion stage. Only the top Cultivators who have advanced in rank can continue to take on missions from the Privy Council. In general, there are few people and too much to do, and they’re overwhelmed.
Yan Yu didn’t want to be a chosen working machine, a task processor. As he was pondering if there was some simple task, he suddenly flipped to a document, raised his eyebrow, and asked:
“What’s this Cultivator Combat Competition?”
“Take a closer look, there’s an introduction below,” Li Weiguo reminded.
Yan Yu looked further and saw that government recruitment quotas were extremely limited due to the recent surge of civilian cultivators (after all, recruitment means providing resources). So, the higher-ups came up with another method.
Imperial examination!
Specifically, mimicking the ancient martial examinations, allowing civilian cultivators to voluntarily sign up for the competition, and then determining their strength based on the final rankings, handing out rewards and offering recruitment spots.

From the perspective of the past world, the emergence of the Cultivator Combat Competition indeed provided a clear advancement path for civilian cultivators and greatly delayed the arrival of the ultimate crisis. However, as the saying goes, “the longer a song is sung, the easier it is to become crooked,” and as more and more civilian cultivators joined the ranks, competing for more resources, it gradually led to widespread discontent among the Team Monks.
The subsequent rebellion led by Li Zhaojiang had its fuse set off by the sacrifice of his sister, but why was it able to garner such widespread support, escalating so quickly into an irretrievable mess? Annan Army, you recruited the most civilian cultivators among the four armies; what do you think the real reason was? Was it merely because Li Zhaojiang was rebellious at heart?
In the previous life, Yan Yu, from the standpoint of a neutral Mortal Warrior, concluded that massively recruiting civilian cultivators was indeed a path to disaster. These people possessed extraordinary powers and mostly had aggressive and fierce personalities. The government had to offer real resources to keep them in check, while their numbers kept increasing… As the saying goes, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” The Team Monks weren’t pushovers, and they couldn’t just keep enduring in silence, watching the civilian cultivators swiftly chew into their share of benefits.
Without Li Zhaojiang, sooner or later, there would be a Zhang Zhaojiang or Song Zhaojiang. It was inevitable.
But on the other hand, it was also not possible to not recruit civilian cultivators; otherwise, lurking among the public without control, they would wreak havoc on civilians and even lead to great chaos—so the essence of the problem was unsolvable. It’s not that the upper echelons of Lu Country in the previous life were all fools, playing their bad cards rather than their good ones.
Yan Yu suppressed his thoughts and said:
“I’d like to help organize this competition.”
Li Weiguo looked at him skeptically.
The task was actually quite simple: deter the civilian cultivators who had already registered and come to participate in the competition from causing trouble before the event with a display of martial power.
But as Lu Country’s Number One Cultivator, why choose to be a competition security guard instead of going on those high-risk missions abroad?
Seeing Yan Yu’s determined expression, Li Weiguo sighed internally and said:
“Alright, I’ll speak to the higher-ups. You go back to the Mysterious Realm to regroup with your teammates and reconnect with them. When the competition is about to start, we’ll notify you.”
“Okay.” Yan Yu turned and left the office, flew out of the hallway on his Sword Control.
There were quite a few names of formidable civilian cultivators in his mind from his previous life.
First, give them a thrashing and see if that will keep them in line.
This is what is called “courtesy before force.” If they still refuse to acknowledge defeat after losing to me, then they shouldn’t blame me for introducing them to Fan Wentang.
