However, it has comedy and light parts because I can't stand to heavy of a BL.

As days passed by Ema is excited and sad that she will no longer will work as a part-time in the company. Also at the same time Ema still struggle to find friends online that she can trust. Mostly that she can see online is having an experience that they willingly share online. There are a lot of photos being shared nude by the people around the internet. "Hm, what happen to humans these days. They have gone mad and sharing nude photos of themselves." said Ema disappointingly while scrolling down the website for more posts to check randomly on her account. But suddenly she got hold again of the account of Daniel. Daniel's account is having a lot of pictures of him during his travel all over the world. Ema have spent most of her time on Daniel's account and checking every posts that Daniel shared.

"Hm, Daniel is quiet an adventurous type of guy and also the girl that she will be spending the rest of his life with is so lucky." said Ema dreamily upon looking at the smiling face of Daniel. Ema have downloaded some of the photos of Daniel for personal purposes on her laptop. The crush that Ema have for Daniel is currently growing as she seeks more information online about Daniel. "Ema, are you ready for having vacation before you go off to college?" said Amelia as she walk pass the bedroom door to sit beside Ema. "Hey! Daniel's photo? Really? Having that big crush on him??" said Amelia as she pressure the feelings of Ema. "Mama, I am ready and excited to have vacation with you and papa. Hm, mama stop joking around about the photo of Daniel. Isn't it obvious that I really like him. It's nice that I have a copy of the photo so even if without an internet at least I can still see his face." said Ema lovingly at the last photo that she downloaded.

"Hahaha, Ema darling. Oh! You are cheeks are like cherry when you blush like that. Now ... now... hm maybe I'll share your little crush to Daniel. Eh? What you think?"said Amelia to her daughter teasingly. "NOOO! Mama, don't ever share with him about having a crush on him! That's ridiculous!" said Ema defensively to her mother. Her mother smile at her daughter that she's looking at a child rather than a grown up young girl. She misses her daughter to be childish sometimes. Each time that was not spent with her daughter due to her business have passed already. It is already too late that she have the time but this time her daughter will go to college soon.

"Okay, Ema you can count on me to keep your secret. I hope you enjoy your life at college. Also bear in mind to choose your decisions wisely." Amelia told her daughter the advice that she usually get when Amelia was going to college in her past. "Yes, mama I will be keeping all that you have thought me. I really do hope that I will be as successful as you are." said Ema in an endearing way to her mother. As she go to her mama to give a hug that was worth the while of being spent with her mother.

"So going back to the vacation, Ema you must pack light things only since the vacation will be aan out of town preferably with beautiful sunset on. So have you pictured out what it will be like?" said Amelia to her daughter that still have a bear hug on her. Amelia smiled lovingly to her daughter that will soon experience her own struggles that will come to her life. "Oh by the way before I forget. Ema, this is something I get for you. This is a journal where you can write your thoughts on it and by time it will be a start to see you life unfold." said Amelia to her daughter as she held out the journal to her daughter.

"Thanks for this mama, I will surely love to write down whatever happen to me and at the same time have a look at the times that I treasured most. By the way so the vacation that we will have soon is on the beach then, eh? But I bet it is far away. Hm?" said Ema testing her mother to spill some info for the upcoming vacation. " Hahaha, Ema my dear. You will surely love the place as this is a parting gift in a way for you from us. Hope your father have not overdo it. He surely put his thoughts to this family vacation that we will soon have." said Amelia to her daughter giving her some space to think and as she went for the bedroom door to leave.

"Ema , again just pack lightly. I mean it and don't bother to pack so much things. Just enjoy and have a light package with you. Will you?" ask Amelia in a concern tone to her daughter as she knows her daughter that loves to pack everything. It's like getting the entire closet on vacation! Which was totally bizarre, Amelia smile to her thoughts as she left Ema's bedroom. As her mother left the room, Ema was left alone thinking what is the possible things to bring. She get a piece of paper to write down the necessities and the outfits on mind to bring with. 

So Ema have make a list for what to bring for a vacation possibly a beach that was on her mind:
1. Swimsuit
Perhaps one of the most essential things to pack for beach vacation as Ema been searching for at least five sets.  

2. Swim Cover Up 
Also, when packing for beach holiday, you will need of course a swimsuit cover as Ema is checking every swim cover up she have for her five sets of swim wear that she set aside.  Ema is thinking to herself and considering the possible scenery that she might went into. "This is perfect for wearing down to the beach, but you might prefer a sarong as you can also use this to cover your shoulders or legs if your visiting anywhere that has temples or monasteries." said Ema as she chose some decent cover up and some few are sexy.

3. Shorts
"I will bring 2 to 3 comfortable pairs of shorts for wearing down to the beach or walking around town." said Ema in an excited tone as she pictured out what she will do.

4. Tank Tops 
"Hm, maybe I will only need around 3 tops which I can mix and match with my shorts." thinks Ema to herself.

5. Dresses 
" Hm, I think my parents will have an evening night so I will prefer wearing dresses over shorts, I will just bring 1-2 casual sun dresses." comment Ema to herself and picturing out the past formal dinner that she have with her parents.

6. Pants and Jacket
"Hm, If the nights will get cold, I will bring a pair of pants to keep warm and I may also need to bring a light jacket in case it gets a bit cool or windy at night.  A rain jacket may also be worth while if we are going somewhere that often has down pours, particularly during wet season.  Maybe 3 in 1 jackets are perfect as they keep me warm and protect myself from the rain too." said Ema to herself while considering her options.

7. Underwear!
"Hm! Duh! I will bring 2 bras and a pair of knickers for each day. So maybe for a week (7 days) , It comes around 14 pairs .... hahaha just in case I'll bring an extra..." said Ema jokingly to herself.

8. Next will be my footwear....
Flip Flops --- my time at the beach or by the pool..
Sandals  --- for walking around town, shopping or going out for dinner.
Water Shoes  --- At some beach destinations there can be a lot of rocks and coral on the beaches so a pair of slip on mesh beach shoes can be useful items to pack to protect my feet. 

9. Beach Essentials... (Wants)
Beach Hat  --- A big sun hat of course to protect my skin from burning.
Beach Towel  --- Maybe one with microfibres that is lightweight and dries fast. Another reason I like it is that the sand won't stick on it.
Sunglasses  --- it's a must to see through the sun... heat is so coming over...
Water Bottle  --- we all know the devastating consequences plastic bottles have on the environment, so make sure you bring along a refillable water bottle.  I like to have one that won't leak and has a clasp on it so I can attach it my day bag.

10. Bags! .. Hehehe... I literally need it to store my things...
Beach Bag --- to put all my Beach Essentials items in it.
Packing Cubes --- to put all my Underwear in it so it will still be organize.
Toiletry Bag --- to keep all my toiletries in

11. Toiletries ... Hm... I need to keep it simple..
Sunscreen --- a good quality sunscreen to protect my face and body is one of the vital things needed for beach vacation.
Make Up --- personal choice but I will bring whatever I might need for a night out with my parents..
Moisturizing Cream --- some moisturizing cream for my face, eyes and body, the sun and sea tend to make the skin dry.
A Razor -- for my unwanted hair...
Shampoo and Conditioner --- A small travel size, enough for one week is plenty.
Body Wash  --- i prefer to bring my own although I find some free items to one of our recent location...
Toothpaste and Toothbrush --- Duh! Brush my teeth after meals and before going to bed...
Hair Brush and Hair Ties -- for my messy bun to be control...
Deodorant --- It can get very hot in the sun, so I won't want to forget this one!

12. Electronics
Mobile Phone --- mobile phone so I can keep in touch with social media. Especially stalking my Daniel!
Camera --- take plenty of photographs for my memories. 
Memory cards --- one for the camera and one for as a backup!
Travel Adapter --- may need to bring a plug adaptor
Headphones --- listening to music or streaming movies on my phone whilst lying by the pool or whilst traveling
Chargers / Power Bank  --- various chargers I need to keep my tech gear charged and I bring a charger to keep all of my electronics fully charged throughout my trip

Looking at the lists that Ema made for herself, she is satisfied that she will definitely have a good time. As far as Ema is concern this is the minimalist that she can get to pack her things for vacation as she smiled and getting on with the things on the list to be ready.

The Life as we know it. People have shared stories throughout. It might not be perfect for some but still it is life worth living for. Some people have a perfect life but are they happy?

Back at Kuake City, Zhang Fan followed the unwritten rule of dividing the spoils equally. He split everything equally, apart from the Apple cell phone, and prepared to give it to Batu. "I'll do the same as you and also wish you an early happy New Year's." When Zhang Fan brought Batu to the latter's home, Zhang Fan tried to bring all these gifts into Batu's home.
"Forget it, I don't lack such things. Just put them all back in the car, and come in for a meal." Batu refused to let Zhang Fan bring gifts inside, so Zhang Fan could only enter Batu's home empty-handed.
Batu's wife was quite pretty. She was also slender, a rarity among Mongolian women. Lunch was delicious hand-grabbed mutton. Zhang Fan scarfed down a huge plate.
"It's so nice to be young. I don't even want to cook when it's just my husband and myself," Batu's wife commented to Zhang Fan.
"Your food is so delicious." Zhang Fan's face was somewhat red as he felt like he had eaten too much!
"Are you going back to Chasu City again this afternoon?" Batu asked after Zhang Fan finished eating.
"Yeah. I feel like I'm becoming a professional driver. I've been driving so much every day, and barely get to do any surgeries."
"Relax. You'll have plenty to do later. After New Year's, our border province is going to send some doctors to study and improve their skills. I'm choosing you from our surgery department."
"Really!? How long will it be for?"
"Our city government has already approved it. The study will last for about six months."
After eating, Zhang Fan chatted for a while before preparing to go to Chasu City. Before he left, Batu handed a bag to Zhang Fan.
"You don't drink, so go ahead and smoke these over New Year's."
"Superintendent Batu, this isn't appropriate. I was the one who was supposed to wish you a happy New Year's here."
"Forget it, it's fine as long as you had the intention. You should hurry and go now."
Even though Zhang Fan's car could no longer even be seen now, Batu kept standing still at his own door in a daze.
"Aren't you cold? You didn't even wear a jacket. I feel like you've been here for almost half an hour! Why don't you come in?" Batu's wife came out to see what was going on.
"I think that this youngster now knows someone high-ranked in the municipal Communist Party committee. In the future, I might need to rely on him... more than he relies on me."
"Is that so? Then how about inviting him over for New Year's Eve? He doesn't have anywhere else to go here, does he?"
"Whether we have a good relationship or not won't depend on a single day like New Year's Eve. Alright, let's go in, it's cold outside."
Since Zhang Fan had received so many gifts over the New Year's holiday, he sold off all the smoke cartons he had accumulated so far and made quite a bit of money. Since he already had a cell phone, he mailed the Apple cell phone to his younger sister, and then wired some money to his parents.
Zhang Fan spent New Year's Eve at the hotel in Chasu City. Although this was rather pitiful, Zhang Fan had adamantly refused Wang Qian's invitation to spend New Year's Eve at her home. He felt that it would be completely improper for him to spend New Year's Eve and get in the way of someone else's family gathering!
After the New Year was over and the hospital resumed normal work shifts, Batu posted Kuake City Hospital's list of individuals who would get to study and improve their skills at a better hospital. Four slots were allotted to Kuake City Hospital, with one each for internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. Zhang Fan was given the slot for the surgery category, while for the other three categories, the department directors were given this chance.
Zhang Fan didn't know anything about surgery department #1's reaction, but everyone in surgery department #2 was fine with this... except for Yang Chengming, who was quite angry. Batu had promised Vice Director Shi Lei that he would get to go in the next round. Chen Qifa had failed to obtain a medical license after so many tries already, so he no longer cared about improving himself. Meanwhile, Tu Xun believed that he was quite skilled already, and that he had no need to improve himself.
Kuake City's Bureau of Public Health only allotted six studying slots to Kuake City. The other two slots were given to Kuake City Chinese Medicine Hospital, which was a smaller sub-hospital split off from Kuake City Hospital. Two recent college grads had also joined Kuake City Chinese Medicine Hospital last year. One of them was the son of the Vice Director of the Bureau of Public Health—this fellow's father had helped him to join the Chinese Medicine Hospital's orthopedic surgery department.
This fresh college grad also wanted to have the chance to study elsewhere and further improve himself. However, he was unable to compete with the two department directors who received the slots instead. Besides, if he wanted to stay at this hospital in the future, he couldn't afford to have a bad relationship with the department directors. After all six names for the slots were determined, when his father looked over the list, he removed Zhang Fan's name, and put his son's name in the sixth slot instead.
The border province was viewing this studying opportunity for its doctors with great importance. The head politician of each city was personally in charge of this matter, which was why Kang Hua received the list of six names. For such a matter, Kang Hua would typically sign off on the list without even glancing at the names, but ever since Zhang Fan helped cure her back pain, she started paying more attention to Kuake City Hospital. When she looked over the list, Zhang Fan's name wasn't there contrary to what she had expected.
"Superintendent Batu, how many candidates did your hospital name? Isn't Zhang Fan going?"
"He is supposed to go. Our surgery department nominated Zhang Fan," Batu said depressedly.
"Alright, I got it." Kang Hua realized what was going on. It was obvious that since Zhang Fan was just an outsider recent college graduate, someone else had used their power to steal his slot.
"Little Tang, call the Director of the Bureau of Public Health over to my office."
Later, the Director of the Bureau of Public Health wiped away his sweat as he exited Kang Hua's office. He had immediately realized what happened right after seeing the list as he recognized the name of the Vice Director's son on the list. No wonder Kang Hua had been so angry, scolding him for being so shamelessly corrupt! He felt so aggrieved, taking the blame for something he didn't even do.
"You f*cking caused this trouble for me! Why the hell did you change the city hospital's name list? Why the hell did you think you could put your son on the list? Do you think that the Bureau of Public Health is your personal family business!? Our City Leader was so angry at me today! Change that list back immediately! After you change it, personally bring it over to Leader Kang Hua!" The Director of the Bureau of Public Health vented his anger on the Vice Director right after he returned.
The Vice Director almost fainted out of shock. The issue of a newly arrived college student actually made the head politician of Kuake City so angry!
"Superintendent Batu, I'd like to ask you a question. Zhang Fan from your hospital's surgery department must have quite a background? He actually managed to be nominated for this chance to study in his first year of work?" Although the Vice Director no longer dared to nominate his son, he was still quite unwilling to nominate Zhang Fan.
Batu immediately understood what was going on with this question as he was quite smart.
"Zhang Fan? He's really incredible. I heard that he's the son of a high-ranked official from their province with incredibly deep connections, more solid than steel. Leader Kang Hua personally told me that I should nominate him for this studying opportunity. What, does the Bureau of Public Health have a problem with our name list? Should I call Leader Kang Hua right now?" Batu was intentionally trying to deal a blow to the Vice Director here. This was because the Vice Director was one of Batu's main competitors for the position of Director of the Public Bureau of Health that Batu wanted.
"High-ranked official, the hell? F*ck, deep connections? Why don't you f*cking say that he's from the Beijing government?" The Vice Director was filled with anger after hanging up his call with Batu.
The Vice Director couldn't help it. Not only could a provincial official outrank him severely, even his direct boss, the Director of the Bureau of Public Health, was more than enough to suppress him completely. He wouldn't even be able to keep his career if he dared to go against the City Leader. "Why is this world so unfair!!" However, it seemed that the Vice Director had completely forgotten about his own nepotism.
Now that the proper name list was confirmed, the government soon issued the official documents. All the named people would be going to Bluebird City on January 17th for furthering their medical studies. Kang Hua would be leading this group, and Batu even managed to become the group's sub-leader.
Kang Hua and Batu led the study candidates to a train that took them to Bluebird City. Kang Hua and Batu instead directly took a plane to Bluebird City to meet with the head politician there.
The Beijing government wanted to improve the overall level of culture, education, and health in the western border provinces, which was why the government spent so many resources supporting fresh college students to go to the far west of China. However, it would be difficult to keep the talented individuals there. It was common for most people who went through this program to leave their jobs in the border provinces after just one or two years, so the effects of this program weren't that good.
This time, the Beijing government decided to try a different method—to improve the overall medical level of the locals. This was the first time that the government was trying this program to improve the overall medical level in the border provinces, so great importance was placed on it. The Beijing government gave Bluebird City a command that they had to successfully train an excellent top-quality team of doctors for the border provinces.
Bluebird City was a rather large city in the north which also bordered the sea. The medical level of this city was quite high. Zhang Fan and the others would receive the opportunity to study and work in the largest hospital in Bluebird City: Bluebird City University Affiliated Hospital, or BCU Hospital for short.
This was early 2009. The trains were still quite slow back then. It took more than 50 hours before Zhang Fan and the others finally arrived in Bluebird City. Compared to the border province, this place was far warmer, although the wind was about the same with the sea breeze.


One day, Zhang Fan, a poor medical student, receives a medical system from the future. This turns him into a new shining star in the medical field. Along the way, he must face medical corruption, competition, and infighting from other doctors, and even find time for a love life as he strives for the top of the medical field!

"I had a call with Nan Nan. Without the need for me to persuade her, Nan Nan expressed directly that she will avoid the people from the Feng family."
Feng Meng's behavior today had made the Feng family lose their footing
Nan Nan was such a sensitive and cautious person. Given the Feng family's performance, if the Feng family wished to acknowledge a fictive kinship with Nan Nan, she had to be possessed before she would be willing to agree. 
Shi Peng laughed. "That's true. Nan Nan is eccentric and clever. She is obviously very young but she has a lot on her mind. Clearly, she does not belong to our social circle but she is very sensitive about what is happening. Your Zhai family will have fewer worries moving forward." 
The Feng family was a family that one should keep out of reach. Qiao Nan had already avoided them without the need for others to advise her to do so. Qiao Nan seemed to be born to pursue good fortune and avoid disasters. She was always spot on in her foresight. 
He then thought of his own silly daughter. Shi Peng believed that she would eventually improve in this aspect if he let her mix around more with Qiao Nan.
Besides Shi Peng, the Feng family also found out that Zhai Sheng would be going to the capital. That was because Zhai Sheng's striking name had appeared on the list. 
Despite being a soldier, Zhai Sheng was not willing to come previously. If his name appeared on the list, it meant Zhai Sheng would certainly appear in person when the time came.
Old Master Feng called his elder son, who was a politician, over. His elder son was called Feng Liang. "What do you think about this matter?"
At one glance of the item on the table, Feng Liang knew what this was pertaining to. After all, he had received the news long ago. "Dad, what are your thoughts?"
"It's hard to say." Old Master Shi's tone was apprehensive. "This son of Zhai Yaohui is under a lot of limelight despite being so young. He understands this point very well. Hence, he never attends this kind of event."
To say that Zhai Sheng was very low profile was very true. Zhai Sheng rarely made an appearance in the capital.
If he had not been clearly aware of Zhai Sheng's valiant achievements, he nearly believed that Zhai Yaohui, this tiger dad, had given birth to a son that was as meek as a dog.
The problem was that such a low profile individual was as fierce as an ancient beast in the army. His power and influence were unstoppable. 
Many years ago, although his son-in-law had nurtured and guided Zhai Sheng, everyone could see for themselves Zhai Sheng's brilliant contributions. No one could deny that. 
It could be said that Zhai Sheng's own performance alone in the past would earn him a similarly bright future. Nevertheless, with Shi Peng's support coupled with Zhai Sheng's ability, all things were in Zhai Sheng's favor. As such, he went through promotions at the speed of a rocket. 
In our great and proud China, who had not reached the age of over forty years old when they assumed the role of a regiment commander? Where could you find anyone like Zhai Sheng who was under thirty years of age?
Given the performance of Zhai Sheng, the word 'low profile' did not seem that suitable to describe him either.
In the face of Zhai Sheng, a junior of his grandchildren's generation, Old Master Feng was having a headache too. He had always felt that this child was very unpredictable and not easy to manage.
"However, he is coming this year." Feng Liang sat down. "So, Dad, you're suspecting that he is coming because of that female college student?" The look of disdain in Feng Liang's eyes told Old Master Feng that he was in disbelief. 
Zhai Sheng was someone destined for big things. Unless there was a need to, he would not break his previous practice and come to the capital.
Since Zhai Sheng was coming, it must be because of work-related reasons. How could he be here for the sake of just a woman? Was this a drama whereby King You from Western Zhou Dynasty tricked the marquis with beacon fires just to make his concubine smile?
Feng Liang was not this kind of person. Hence, he felt that Zhai Sheng was certainly not.
It was just that the matter of the female college student gave Zhai Sheng one more excuse. Her existence had become a cover-up for Zhai Sheng to come to the capital to attend to work-related matters.
Instead of wasting his time and effort on that female college student, he would rather keep a watch on the actions of the Zhai family. He could then assess what was happening. In that way, he would be able to plan his next steps.
Old Master Feng gave Feng Liang a stare. "Have you forgotten what I have told you? I said before that your greatest weakness is that you're too full of yourself. The situation of the Feng family in the capital now seems as though we are strong and impregnable. However, change is always constant here. Many people have been struck with sudden calamities. I have asked you to be more cautious when you do things. Think thrice before you act. Did you not take my words seriously?! Don't refer to her as the female college student. If others, especially your grandson, hear of this address and get into trouble, the whole Feng family will be implicated!"
"Dad, you're being too paranoid." Was it that serious?
"You seem to have forgotten that that female college student is Zhai Sheng's fiancée. She is also the daughter-in-law acknowledged by Zhai Yaohui." There was a great difference between these two things.
If Qiao Nan had only been approved by Zhai Sheng, then Qiao Nan was someone that did not matter much.
The problem was that Qiao Nan was not only the wife selected by Zhai Sheng himself. She had also received Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing's affirmation.
As such, Qiao Nan's identity as the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was stable and secure. No one could make that waver.
With the status of Chief Zhai's daughter-in-law alone, countless people would be pleased to fawn on Qiao Nan.
Although the Feng family did not go to such an extent, there was no need for them to be so bold and arrogant and offend others deliberately.
"Dad, you're worried that the Zhai family will deal with us if we have any conflict with that female college student?" Feng Liang had a look of 'Dad, are you kidding me?' written all over his face when he stared at his father. "The Zhai family is very smart. Isn't she just a woman? They have not even collected the marriage certificate. The Zhai family won't spoil the ship for a halfpenny worth of tart. You have overestimated that female college student."
"So, are you going to use the Feng family's future to gamble and find out the extent to which the Zhai family cares about that female college student?" Old Master Feng's face turned cold, becoming unruly.
He did not care about how much the Zhai family liked and approved of that female college student. The only thing that he was concerned about was how much benefit the Feng family could derive from this matter. He did not want the family to be implicated such that the Zhai family would target them. If that were to occur, the two families might become enemies.
If the Zhai family were to become an enemy of the Feng family, then it would not be too long before the Feng family lost their hold.
Old Master Feng was aware that the Zhai family was successful based on their own merit and capability. It had been like that since the times of Old Master Zhai. Until Zhai Sheng, all three consecutive generations were alike.
On the other hand, the Feng family belonged to the kind that would defend one's ground. They safeguarded the businesses passed down from their ancestors. It was easier to sustain a business than starting one. Hence, it had not been easy for the Feng family. 
Of course, Old Master Feng hoped that his grandchildren could bring the family to greater heights so that they could become a truly powerful and affluent family in the capital. 
However, before they could do so, Old Master Feng wanted his own children and grandchildren to be more abiding so that they would not ruin the family businesses that the ancestors had built over the years.
Up to this day, the Feng family had been safeguarding the businesses well. It was certainly foolish to be at odds with the Zhai family, especially if they had to involve a female college student who was not even related to the Feng family in any way.
How much the Zhai family cared about Qiao Nan—what did it have to do with the Feng family?
Was there a need to place the whole Feng family at stake to confirm his guess?


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Twenty proposals were delivered to the Martian Colony Governor's office. The giant tree had carved out time from his schedule and arrived in the office. He sat opposite the Governor and smiled. They chatted casually while looking through the respective jade slips.
"This proposal is quite creative. It proposes to use an array formation as an anchor to absorb the energies of the seal over the Divine Armament Catacombs and use said energy to augment its own power…" The Governor smiled after reading the proposal. She handed it over to the giant tree.
The giant tree scanned through the proposal and caught the name of the person who submitted it. It was Zhuo Yixian from the Five Generation Sky Clan. He smiled and nodded his head in approval. Then, he pointed to another jade slip and handed it over to the Governor.
"I think this is quite a good proposal as well. The city zone will be circular in shape, with three rings in the inner zone and another three in the outer zone. They are interconnected and infused with reflective powers. That'll allow smooth migration of people and serve as a protection against the Divine Armament's radiation. It's commendable for having considered the latter."
The Governor took a look after hearing that. She saw Li Yi's name on the proposal and glanced at the giant tree. She smiled slightly.
"Not bad, we'll take her."
The giant tree smiled back without saying a word. They continued to look through the proposals. They were soon done with all twenty proposals and had easily chosen nine candidates.
There were differences in opinions for the last tenth candidate.
"Governor, I think the proposal submitted by Senator Chen's son, Chen Lu, fits our requirements better. Wang Baole's proposal… isn't bad, but there are clearly elements of exaggeration in it. He calls it the Eternal Fortress. I don't believe there is a stronghold in this world that can withstand everything and stand eternal." The giant tree shook his head. He couldn't be bothered to pick on Wang Baole. Everyone already knew he disliked the young man. Instead of trying to conceal his dislike and mincing his words, he decided to express his views honestly and openly. 
He found it surprising that Wang Baole's proposal had found its way into the last twenty proposals for selection. Each one of these proposals was backed and recommended by a dominant political force. That was how they had successfully made their way through the earlier rounds of selection that had eliminated countless other applicants and gotten themselves into the last round—presented before himself and the Governor.
There were many who hadn't made it into the top twenty and had been eliminated in earlier rounds. They were all applicants who came from powerful political entities. Wang Baole had succeeded when they had not. Clearly, this must have been the result of a great deal of work on his part.
So what? This Eternal Fortress seems like a good idea, but it's too wild an idea. Even if there is someone backing Wang Baole, it won't do. The giant tree sneered inwardly and looked at the Governor.
The Governor didn't speak. She held Wang Baole's proposal up and looked at it in detail. There was a deep, considering look in her eyes. She seemed to be weighing her decisions. She was deliberating. The Trilunaris Corporation and Lin You had both said good things about Wang Baole. Even the Sect Lord from the Ethereal Dao College had spoken to her a few days ago.
It was already an incredible feat getting three parties to provide varying degrees of support. She had even received a voice transmission from her partner yesterday. The military had contacted him…
This Wang Baole really has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. The Governor's eyes were cold. She wasn't opposed to such tactics. However, she herself found Wang Baole's proposal impractical. She agreed with the giant tree. She was about to place Wang Baole's proposal aside when… her voice transmission ring sounded.
The Governor lowered her head. A smile appeared on her face instantly. She rose to her feet and walked away. A shield came up around her before she started the transmission.
The giant tree sat in his seat, unmoving and expression unchanged. He had noticed the look in the Governor's eyes. He was confident that Wang Baole wouldn't be selected as one of the finalists.
This was a small matter. He didn't put too much attention on it. He picked up Li Yi's proposal and read through it carefully. He had promised the four Dao Colleges his full support and had provided some advice for the proposal. The more he read it, the more pleased he became.
The Governor soon ended her voice transmission. She returned and sat down. She deliberated for a while before finally smiling and pointing at Wang Baole's jade slip.
"Let's pick Wang Baole as the last candidate."
Surprise flashed across the giant tree's eyes when he heard that. He lifted his head and stared at the Governor. There was a considering look on his face as he recalled the earlier voice transmission. Confused and still uncertain what had happened, he nodded and agreed without giving away his thoughts.
The ten candidates were finalized. The list was announced the next day throughout Mars and was broadcast in the Federation as well. The candidates immediately became the center of attention.
Kong Dao, Li Yi, and Zhuo Yixian made up three of the ten candidates. The other six candidates came from the Galactic Dusk Sect, the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect as well as the Senate. They weren't well known. One of the requirements for candidacy was that the candidate had to be stationed on Mars. Most of these candidates were only chosen as representatives of their political institutions. 
Who they were wasn't important. What was important was the political entity backing them. As for the Senate, their candidate turned out not to be Lin Tianhao. Lin Tianhao had fulfilled the requirements, but after some discussion with his father, he had decided not to go ahead with his application.
There was also a candidate from the Trilunaris Corporation, but it wasn't Jin Duoming.
As for the last candidate—it was Wang Baole!
The oblivious masses wouldn't have found it surprising that Wang Baole's name appeared in the list. His reputation and abilities were well known, and he was from the four Dao Colleges. Those qualifications were sufficient to make him a candidate.
The knowing few were surprised when they saw the list. The White Deer Dao College had contacted the Ethereal Dao College immediately when they saw the list of candidates. Their words to the latter had been stern. They were afraid of creating any misunderstanding between the Dao Colleges and the giant tree.
The Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College was furious when he received the stern message from the White Deer Dao College. He had exploded in a rage then. They ended up disagreeing violently with one another, without any resolution in the end.
Li Yi grew immensely annoyed when she saw Wang Baole's name. Mindful of her cultivation, she pushed aside her disdain and annoyance and sent a saccharine voice transmission to Wang Baole to congratulate him on his candidacy.
Wang Baole didn't bother replying to Li Yi's voice transmission. He was beyond excited when he saw that he had been selected. He quickly sent his thanks to Jin Duoming, Lin You, as well as the military. After thinking for a moment, he sent a voice transmission to the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord as well.
The Sect Lord had found out about the name list. He smiled wryly and said nothing.
After that, Wang Baole spent all his time furiously refining construction puppets.
He knew that his candidacy was only the first step. He had no advantages over the other candidates whatsoever in the final trial. It was a completely unfair fight as everyone was allowed to bring ten thousand servants!
Wang Baole had no means of doing that. He might be able to achieve it if he brought his students along, but this was not a practical solution. He had done his research. The trial had an element of danger, and the Martian Colony City wouldn't provide any protection for the servants. Only the candidate would be given a jade slip. He or she could shatter the jade slip and activate the inscriptions on it to establish a connection with the Martian City's array formation. Then, the candidate could be teleported back to the Martian Colony City.
To activate the array formation required immense resources. It was impossible to fit everyone with a jade slip. That was why only the candidate possessed the ability to teleport out. Of course, the various political forces had their own resources. They clearly would have made their own preparations and contingency plans to ensure that the servants were given the greatest degree of protection. 
Wang Baole's fighting spirit remained strong in spite of everything.
It's a battle of wits… I have to be prepared. Wang Baole geared himself up and started his preparations. He even bought some wood and made a few statues…
He modified his megaphone and created an enlarged version… he did other similar preparations. When he was finally done, he could feel himself all fired up and ready to go.
Then… the day of the assessment arrived. Wang Baole rode on his donkey and arrived at the Martian port. He stared in shock at the mass of crowds around him and was stunned.
Ten large cruisers were parked in the vast port, scattered across the entire port. Every cruiser had enough space around it for ten thousand people.
Out of the ten cruisers, nine were surrounded by a crowd of people… the remaining cruiser was surrounded by a vast empty space. Wang Baole… stood alone beside it.
It was too stark a juxtaposition…
Wang Baole suddenly felt a bit short of breath. He saw Li Yi and the ten-thousand strong army of cultivators behind her. The weakest one amongst them was at the peak of the Ancient Martial realm. There were quite a few at the True Breath realm and even a number of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators—more than a hundred of them. Many were from the Ethereal Dao College… they had noticed Wang Baole. The looks on their faces were unnatural. They seemed slightly sheepish. 
Wang Baole didn't notice their guilty looks. He was reeling from the strong presence of Li Yi and her army of cultivators. The fighting spirit in his heart wilted as he sucked in a breath… he took a look at Kong Dao, Zhuo Yixian, and the other candidates. Everyone had an army of ten thousand people behind them.
The nine candidates formed nine armies in the wide sky port. Their fierce presence would rouse the spirits of everyone who saw them.
The idea of a ten-thousand strong army, and the reality when one actually saw it, were two vastly different things. Wang Baole distinctly felt that difference. He hadn't realized it earlier, but now, his eyes stared widely. The look on his face had transformed. He stared at the nine troops and looked back at himself, where he stood, and the wide empty space around him. He lowered his head and saw the donkey huddling between his legs, obviously terrified. He couldn't help the rising fear in his heart.
His entrance had drawn the attention of the other parties. It was… impossible not to notice him. The others had all made their grand entrances. Their people crowded around them. Only Wang Baole stood in his wide empty lot… alone with his donkey.
The vast emptiness inspired a certain special tragic loneliness… everyone, be it Li Yi, Kong Dao, or the other candidates, all had a strange look on their faces. A few even started laughing openly.
"So what! One of me can take all of them. Right, Scram? Come, tell me, what do you call them?" Wang Baole shoved down his feelings of inadequacy, gritted his teeth, and patted the donkey on the head. 
The donkey forced itself to stop trembling. After Wang Baole patted it on the head, it let loose a loud shrieking bray into the air.
"Son! Son!"
Wang Baole suddenly felt the atmosphere change as it brayed.


By the year 3029 CE, Earth's technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation.

At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth.

Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth.

With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi.

Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language.

The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people's lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.
 


Li Xiu Ying was at her office working when her assistant came.

ZYY: "Ms Li, your father called." LXY: "thank you, i'll go answer the phone."
The assistant, Zhang Yu Yan, bowed then left.

"Ungrateful child, you finally have time to answer your father's call!" Li Wei shouted. "I'm sorry dad, after I took over the company, I've been busy improving and expanding the company more." Li Xiu Ying calmly explained.

"Whatever, anyways child, your brother (Li Yu) is having his birthday banquet in Hilton Hotel's ballroom [as usual] next week. He wants you to come and he also requests that you don't bring a date. Sheesh, such an overly protective brother he is." Wei complained. Inwardly he is cursing his eldest child as he wants to at least see his youngest child get married before he gets to old. "Haha, alright dad, tell Yu i'm coming." Ying said.

"Alright child, but remember to take a break too, I did not hand over the company to you just so you turn into a workaholic." Wei firmly said.
"Mhm, okay dad. Bye." Li Wei then hung up.

Ying was thinking of what to get for her brother. She was stuck between a gold and diamond encrusted watch, gold cuff links or silver silk tie. In the end,she chose all three since he was turning 28 and got a girlfriend earlier this year. Since she was one of the top 10 business women in the world and top business woman in China, money was not a problem so she bought all 3.

- A week later, at her brother's birthday banquet -

Ying and Yu were together along with her brother's girlfriend/her best friend, Feng Mian.

"Happy birthday gege!" Ying said when they met up 20 minutes before the party started. "Thank you mei mei, you didn't bring a date right?" Yu asked seriously. "Haha, no gege, it's your birthday after all so I didn't, if I did you would've scared the poor boy away since you think no ones good enough for me" Ying laughed while talking to her brother.
"That's because it's true, right love?" Yu said while asking his lover, Mian. "Your brothers right bestie, especially after what happened before with your ex" Main said to her.

Ying just scowled as she hates her ex, but recovers and asks her brother, "you guys ready to go?" "Yup, me and Mian will go in first to greet the guest and you can go around and talk business or greet some family friends and relatives, but don't get too close to guys" Yu stated. "Of course gege, anyways happy birthday again. I'll get going and at the same time I can get away from this PDA*" Ying said while giggling like a child contrasting her usual business like composure.

- 20 minutes later -

Yu and Mian are greeting the guests, who include big time CEO's, A-list celebrities, ect. They want to mingle around to accomplish 3 things, one get onto the Li family's good side, two to gain more status and three to try and get to work with Yu's company Starlight Entertainment and/or Ying's company Li Enterprise. Or sometimes it was just the Li family's close friends who were big time people.

During the party, Ying bumped into Wang Yang, the handsome yet cold and aloof businessman who was on par and even surpassing Ying in the business world and who happened to be a family friend.

"Sorry Mr. Wang for bumping into you." Ying stated formally because even though they were childhood friends and sort of lovers, the years away in college and working in their companies made them more distance and memories were fading. 

Wang Yang replied. " Its okay Ms. Li but let's stop being so formal as we were friends before [and technically still are] and your brother is my best friend as well as we are business partners." Yang stated as he still can sometimes recall their memories together before they left for college.

"OK Yang, but let's not try to be to close like before for now or else Yu will strangle you and scolded me for being to close. Out of all the people, you should understand his protectiveness since you acted just like him when it comes to your own sister."

"Of course Xiao Ying, but how about let's talk about the new business deal?" Yang said, remembering the nickname that he used to call Ying with. Deep down, they both like eachother but could not be with eachother for some reasons.

"Sure" came the reply from Ying turning into business mode. What the pair hadn't noticed was for Ying, the looks men gave to her and for Yang, the looks women gave him. Not to mention that everyone thought they were a match made in heaven excluding their thoughts about Ying and Yang themselves as others were envious yet in awe about how the pair looked with each other. Ying looked alluring, elegant and overall beautiful with her hourglass figure while Yang had his custom tailored suit showing his muscle which fit with his lean and fit body with the aura of a king with his elegant looks.
They looked perfect together but all Zhao Feng, an A-list actor and Ying's ex, staring at Yang with envy and hatred because he was so close to his ex even though he was the one who cheated and even later broke up with Xiu Ying. He looked at Ying with lust as she never really showed her body to him. Yu on the other hand was staring at the two (Ying and Yang) unhappily since she was so close to Yang even though he knew his best friend had no bad intentions towards his little sister.

After a while, the host, Li Wei, stated that the dances were starting and couples who want to dance (ahem, Yu and Mian obviously first starting) to go to the dance floor.

Yang knew after talking with his Xiao Ying after a while he knew that his love for Ying was still there even after all the years seperated. So he asked her "Ying, would you like to dance with me?" But Ying was oblivious to the fact that he started being more gentle towards her, agreed since she sees him as a close friend from her childhood.

The couple went to the dance floor and started dancing as people made way for them and watched them in awe.

note: Edited! I have a new plot so I revised some things and please bare with the bad dialoge up to chapter 4! Thank you <3

Li Xiu Ying, 26, is the daughter of Li Wei, the former CEO of the Li Empire which specialized in military equipment and secret intel groups and that sort of business but also has subsidiary groups that do other fields of business [i.e: technology, medical/health, etc] (Xiu Ying is now the CEO). She is known as a kind and gentle person but merciless and ruthless with her enemies. Wang Yang, age 28, is the eldest son in the Wang family. He made his business from scratch with his family’s support and help called Wang Enterprise specializing in a bit of everything from medicine to technology. He is known as cold and heartless even to his family with exception to his parents and sister. Though his family is one of the top families in China, he wanted to be in a different field of business and deal with a bit of everything and not just the medical field. Both are also known for their beauty, Ying’s for her alluring yet elegant looks and Yang for his classic, elegant and fitness. They met during a party, and fate kept pulling them together. Later, he dotes on Ying more than his own family. They are childhood friends but they had to be separated because certain things happened…

As john exited the portal the familiar sight of the aquarium room soon met his eyes. The room seemed empty, compared to the liveliness that was present when he entered. Only a bored looking young man stood there, seemingly lost in thought. He did not notice as John made his way over to him, jumping as john's voice echoed through the room. "Hello! Can you tell me where the new marksmanship class is? They seem to have left me behind."

The man took a moment to decompose himself as he glared at John. "You're John Enders I'm assuming? It's about time you showed up, I've been waiting here for an hour for you to show up. Lady Alli sent me here to fetch you. I am to bring you to the magic academy. You will be attending our illustrious Academy every afternoon as a part time student. Everything has been taken care of. Follow me."

"Who is Lady Alli? And why do I have to go with you? I'm a member of the marksmanship college."

"You literally just left from meeting her, how can you not remember? A genius girl with green hair. She had a banging body. The living incarnation of the wood element. She pulled some strings and got you admitted into the college as a part time student. She claimed it was a waste to let a half way trained partial mage to train you."

John lit up a cigarette as he was listening, blowing the sulfur smoke into the kids face as he exhaled. "I am a marksman. Don't talk down on my college." His red and black pistol appeared in his hand, the barrel under the chin of the man. The smell of burning flesh filling the small room. 

"What the fuck man!" The kid yelled as he jumped back. "I get it, you're a bad ass incarnation of fire. Great! You're proof that every dog has his day. Now get your fucking ass ready to travel, you don't want to know the things Alli can do with that wood of hers. " the kid shivered as he turned towards the door. 

John nodded to himself as he walked behind the kid. "What's your name?"

"Kyle Anderson the third"

"Ok Kyle, how did this happen? I'm a marksman, why do I have an elemental body or whatever."

"How the fuck would I know? Only those who are incredibly gifted with magic awaken a elemental body. You're not even an official student of magic, the only way it could happen is if you were so naturally gifted with magic that your sprite suppressed your gift, making it own appear in your choices." 

"It did appear in my choices. It was number one for me, but not on the list for my armament."

Kyle nodded "if your natural gift with magic far surpassed the ability of your sprite it would still appear on your list. The fact that it was number one on your list just goes to show how terrifying your gift is"

The portal that John had arrived by was also used by the young man to transport them to the Magic Academy. 

The magic academy looked far different from the marksmanship academy. It was like comparing the ghetto to Beverly Hills. Bright magic balls lit the darkening streets, which were lined with luxurious looking duplexes. Each house had a rather large yard, and a balcony overlooking the street. In the distance a rather large castle like structure dominated the horizon. Beautiful lights began to line the streets, making it appear almost day as the sun set behind them. 

Kyle smiled as he saw the awe in John's face. "Welcome to the magic academy. We are lucky to be the top school of the five, and receive generous resources from the various sects around the world. Unfortunately you will not be staying here, as you are a student of the marksmanship university, however the resources that are allocated to students. This will be discussed with the teacher that has been assigned as your tutor." 

John lit a smoke as they walked down the boulevard, listening as Kyle spoke. "We are headed to the academy that you see in the distance. My duty will end once you arrive at the administrative office. From there they will get you registered as a part time student as set you up with a tutor. Your tutor will be responsible for teaching you a technique that will become half of your cultivation method, combined with your marksmanship training. "

As he spoke, the two slowly made their way down the street, arriving before the giant castle like building. They traveled up the stairs, and the administration was on the right. Kyle left as they arrived, leaving John alone with a middle aged woman behind the counter. The lady's scratchy voice seemed like nails on a chalk board as she spoke. "Can I help you young man?"

"I'm here to register as a part time student, my name is..."

"You must be the Enders boy Alli was talking about, she as already made sure you're registered. If you will just wait here a moment your tutor will arrive shortly."

John did not wait long when an elderly man came into the room, followed by a familiar looking cat girl. He looked at me as a sigh escaped his lips. "You must be John, the fire body marksman. I am professor Daniel's, and I will be your tutor. You will be taking classes with my other student, Miss Hera here. I do hope that you will get along."

Hera blushed as she ran into John's arms. "I hadn't heard from you in a week! My sister said that you hadn't came out yet, and I was so worried." Blushing as she realized her actions Hera quickly backed away. The teacher chucked "excellent it seems that you know each other, that will makes things easier. Alli told me you would arrive today, so I summoned Hera here as well. After all it is not often that those blessed with elemental bodies appear, it is even stranger when they appear in other academies."

The teacher took us to a nearby classroom, where complicated runes and a chart of elements lined the walls. "As part time students you will receive most of the benefits of regular students, minus meals and lodging of course. You will each receive a partial cultivation method that will merge with your universities cultivation method giving you a full method to advance. However the cultivation methods available for elemental body students are different from regular magic students."

He let out a soft cough as John lit another cigarette. He only gave him a strange look before continuing. "Most magic students receive a cultivation method that gives a minor boost to all of their elemental spells, as well as raises their mana and mana regeneration. However for elemental body students certain changes to the method had to be made. The cultivation method you will receive is tailor fit to your particular element, cultivation methods, as well as your Mana Armament. For this to happen we need to run you through a test. Don't worry, it is not like the last one you went through. "

The man summoned a small pentagram formation, with each point of the star representing a different element. Outside of the star were two sets of 5 circles, each set had an image of one of the 5 schools. The inner set of circles was larger, while the outer was smaller. Below the pentagram was a full set of runes that lined the walls. 

"To begin I will need a drop of blood from each of you. The blood will leak into the formation, highlighting you element, your dominate class and your subservient class. The runes below will then light up in order of the cultivation components to make a suitable cultivation method for you. The process is rather quick, and is essential for finding the proper path for your magic to take."

A small prick appears on his finger as the blood flowed into the formation. "Without further ado let us begin."
