From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

The opening ceremony of the sports day was an especially dazzling part, with all departments except the medical department having prepared performances for the occasion.

The main reason being that these past days, the medical department was swamped with overtime work and extra classes, leaving them no time to practice such things.

As students from across the campus began to fill the field, those from the medical department made a brief appearance before taking their seats in the stands, while the opening performances from other departments were incredibly impressive.

In particular, the performances by the arts department and the cultivation system were especially spectacular, though the cultivation system's performance was suspected of showing off excessively, with their sword flying display being quite over-the-top.

Then there was a rather lengthy speech by the principal, who eventually declared the sports day officially open.

Despite being a Mediocre University, its campus was large and spacious, housing about fifteen thousand students across the various departments.

On the round bleachers of the great athletic field, classes sat next to classes, departments beside departments, packing the fifteen thousand attendees tightly together.

The music blaring from the sound system covered the entire campus and spilt onto the streets outside, while the chattering of students had been incessant since the moment they entered, and below in the field, there were a few teachers and students scurrying about busily executing tasks.

The whole scene was lively and animated.

Liu Qianqian, because she was the vice president of the student council, quickly made her way to the presenter's stage to coordinate the event with several other student council members after leading her class to their seats.

As time moved on, the sports day began, starting with the preliminary one hundred-meter dash. As athletes from the various departments entered the field, cheerleaders from the same departments started to appear.

Beautifully dolled faces holding colorful pompoms, wearing sexy tank tops and short skirts, their youthful and energetic figures caused hormones to surge throughout the field.

The medical department's class three also had a cheerleading squad joining in, which garnered the attention of all the male students in the school, given that the two most beautiful girls on campus were both from this class in the medical department.

Unfortunately, one of the blossoms was hosting on stage, and the other refused to wear a short skirt no matter what, so even the spectators with telescopes could not spot their targets.

The students from the photography department brought out their 'breadwinners,' while boys from other departments also whipped out counterfeit telescopes which they had preemptively purchased online.

"Ah Ran, our class's athlete roster has your name on it," said Mu Huanqing, checking the school forum on her phone and spotting him on the roster for class three of the medical department.

"Hmm, the fifteen-hundred meters, right?" Fang Ren leaned over to glance at the information on the phone forum.

"It starts at three in the afternoon," Mu Huanqing said.

"This is just the preliminaries. There are a lot of departments and they're divided into many groups," Fang Ren said.

"Are those from the cultivation system participating too?"

"Yes, but for the sake of fairness, there will be True Qi detection monitors on the track, and cultivators aren't allowed to use True Qi," he explained.

"So, can Ah Ran get the first place?" she asked with a smile.

"Not necessarily. Even if cultivators don't use True Qi, they have better physical fitness than ordinary people," Fang Ren replied.

"A practitioner at the Yuanxin Realm without using True Qi wouldn't differ much in physical fitness from an ordinary person. I think Ah Ran can take first place," Mu Huanqing said.

"Who knows," he said noncommittally.

Fang Ren gazed at the track below with a faint smile. In truth, he was confident. After all, having been frail as a child, Shang Han had forced him to train his body. Over time, it had become a habit for him to run to school every day.

Now, ever since Mu Huanqing arrived by his side, he had temporarily put aside physical training because, now that he had a Spiritual Root, it was essential to find a way to cultivate True Qi.

But his physical condition was still far superior to an ordinary person's, and in pure physical sports, he wouldn't be much different from the practitioners of the cultivation system at the Yuanxin Realm. In fact, he might even surpass them slightly.

Once all the athletes were checked in, Liu Qianqian on the presenter's stage once again began to host with a smile, "The most thrilling moment has arrived!

Athletes, your footsteps on the field represent the sweat of your hard work; you are like the clouds in the sky with the dazzling colors of the dawn, a galloping steed, and your sprinting strides await your victory ahead—to bless you, to cheer for you!"

Her face wore a smile, and her voice did not betray a hint of her troubles; she was a girl quite skilled at concealing her emotions, only revealing them when she absolutely couldn't hold back anymore.

"Bang—"

With the sound of the gunshot, several figures dashed out of the starting blocks.

"Go, Liu Xuanwen!"

"Go, Hou Xinjiang!"

"Run, Sassy Pig! Charge!"

"Sun ErGou, annihilate them! You can't keep a low profile anymore! Run on all fours! Four, I said!

Are you giving the others a handicap by using just two?!"

"Qin Shou! You can't let those bastards from the cultivation system win! Otherwise, they might steal your girlfriend!"

"Wang Ermazi! Your girlfriend is in my hands! If you don't finish in the top three, don't blame your brother for not being human!"

…

The entire stands were filled with howls and shouting, the deafening noise drowning out the music playing through the speakers, making one's blood boil with excitement at a single glance.

Due to the large number of participants, just the men's 100 meters preliminaries took five heats to complete a single event.

In the end, the eight who advanced from the preliminaries included four boys from the Cultivation System. After all, with four classes, all the competing students from the Cultivation System had moved on.

"Next up is the women's 100 meters preliminary race..."

...

At this moment, in a deserted corner at the very back of the stands, Jian Qi'er was speaking with someone on the phone.

"Have you discovered any trace of the Indra Sky organization at that school recently?" a woman's voice came through the cellphone.

"Not yet," Jian Qi'er replied, slightly frowning. "Master, could there be an error in our organization's information? Maybe Indra Sky isn't hiding in this school at all."

"Impossible, the last test subject disappeared here three years ago. And Qi'er, the organization has already clarified Fang Ren's identity—he does not have any connections to Indra Sky, but his background is rather special."

"Special?" Jian Qi'er was slightly startled. "Is he our enemy or not?"

"Hard to say. Although he has no relations with the Indra Sky organization, his identity is that of the Tianjiang Fang Family's head, Fang Zheng's own son."

"The Tianjiang Fang Family!?" Jian Qi'er was shocked. That was one of the top ten colossal families on Earth! How could Fang Ren, an ordinary college student living in a small county town, be...

But then she thought about it and realized Fang Ren's identity wasn't actually that surprising. Without the support of such a powerful family, how could he possess such peerless Alchemy Talent at such a young age?

"For the time being, we can be sure he is not our enemy," the woman on the phone continued. "A twenty-two-year-old who can produce a Three-level pill and craft a Space Ring, if such a rare talent could join our organization, it would bring about a qualitative leap for us."

"But Master, everyone has the wrong idea about our organization, and Fang Ren probably thinks we're an evil force that everyone should rightfully eliminate," Jian Qi'er said. "Besides, that night when I killed the mayor, the witness was him. I told you to take care of it, but actually...

I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm sorry... Master."

There was silence on the phone for a moment before the woman's voice re-emerged, "What you did was both right and wrong. Fang Ren is an unparalleled genius in Alchemy, a person capable of guiding the future of the Human Race, and must absolutely not be killed.

But according to the discipline of our organization, any eyewitness who sees us during a mission must be killed. Although you violated the organization's disciplines, since Fang Ren could bring vast benefits to the Human Race, let's drop the matter."

Jian Qi'er frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Master, actually, I don't think we need to kill those witnesses... Aren't we the righteous ones? None of them saw our faces, and they're all... innocent, so why should we kill?"

"Don't entertain such thoughts!" the woman's voice turned icy. "Have you forgotten how Sister Chun died? Even if our actions are righteous, those innocent witnesses could turn around and bite us once we let them go!"

"I... I understand," Jian Qi'er nodded her head slightly.

"While you're investigating Indra Sky, also think of a way to pull Fang Ren into the organization. If he doesn't join, don't force him, but we definitely can't let him think we are just a bunch of murderous lunatics."

"Yes, Master, I will complete the mission well," Jian Qi'er affirmed.

After hanging up, she turned and walked towards the stands.

------

Soon it was the lunch break, and Fang Ren and Mu Huiqing went to the cafeteria. Although it was just a Mediocre University, the food was pretty good, just not as upscale as what one might find at a restaurant outside.

Jian Qi'er, this peculiar girl, had stopped skipping classes and was now making her way into Fang Ren's group every day.

Her presence also made it easier for Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan to come along. Without this girl, the two men would feel like two thousand-watt light bulbs; her being there made it less awkward for Mu Huiqing to chat.

Whoosh—

While the five were eating and chatting, suddenly a streak of True Qi shot across the table.

Though it injured no one and did not hit the food, this provocative act was infuriating.

"Dammit! Which little bastard did that!" Li Xingwang slammed the table and stood up roaring in anger.

They turned to see three boys in the white uniforms of the Cultivation System looking disdainfully in their direction.

The leading boy was clearly Sun Yan, previously one of Wang Shuai's underlings.

"Fuck! I'll remember this, you piece of shit!" Jing Haichuan immediately jumped up as well. "If you ever get to use a condom in your life, I'll write my surname, Jing, upside down!"

"Oh, don't be angry, my dear sirs," Sun Yan said with a smirk. "I was just giving Fang Ren a polite little greeting and didn't mean to upset you big guys."

"Wang Shuai turned into a vegetable, and you took his place?" Li Xingwang said with contempt.

"Heh, my big bro had an accident, so the things he didn't do I'll have to take care of, won't I?" Sun Yan sneered.

Hearing this was directed at him, Fang Ren put down his chopsticks and retorted, "My bro left many things undone. If you've got the guts, don't let him get enema through a urinary catheter. Take his shit and piss for him."
