"The graduation exam is right around the corner! How can you sleep at a ti like this? Do you have any ambition at all?!"
Wang Jinsheng glared at Feng Qi, his expression a mix of disappointnt and frustration.
Feng Qi was his most promising student, and Wang Jinsheng had high hopes for his future. He never expected to find him sleeping in class.
After the scolding, Wang Jinsheng opened his textbook and asked sternly, "Tell , in what year did the world's transformation begin?"
Under the furious gaze of Old Wang, the history teacher, Feng Qi's mind raced. Fortunately, he had morized the relevant information and wouldn't embarrass himself now.
After a mont's hesitation, the answer surfaced in his mind:
"The world's transformation began five hundred years ago, specifically on May 31, 1523. On that day, Domain Fields appeared across the globe, and creatures once thought to exist only in myths descended within these domains. Humanity faced an unprecedented challenge..."
The World Transformation Day was a mandatory exam question for all graduating students.
For it was on this day that the very fabric of human civilization had been irrevocably altered.
According to historical records, various Domain Fields descended across the globe on that day. The smallest covered just ten square ters, while the largest could engulf an entire city.
Terrifying monsters materialized within these domains, turning the lives of humans trapped inside into living nightmares.
For example, five hundred kiloters east of Feng Qi's Star City, a once-modern tropolis had been tragically enveloped by a sudden Domain Field three centuries ago. The vast majority of its inhabitants were devoured by domain creatures that arrived with the field, leaving only a handful of survivors who managed to escape.
Faced with this sudden Domain invasion crisis, nations resorted to extre asures, even deploying nuclear weapons to bombard the Domain Fields in an attempt to obliterate everything within.
However, the nuclear strikes proved utterly ineffective against the Domain Fields, failing to weaken or dispel them in the slightest.
Left with no other choice, humanity was forced to abandon the territories consud by the domains.
Fortunately, the bloodthirsty creatures within the Domain Fields were restrained by so unknown force, rarely venturing beyond the domain's boundaries. This allowed humanity to survive to this day without facing imminent extinction.
Everyone knew that the peaceful days were only temporary.
The domains, scattered across the world, were slowly expanding, destined to eventually engulf the entire globe.
To counter the domain invasion, nations began sharing intelligence and studying the domain creatures hunted down by technological weapons, seeking weaknesses that might offer humanity a glimr of hope for the future.
Through relentless research, scholars discovered a mysterious substance that appeared alongside the domains. This substance, extrely difficult to capture as it drifted freely in the air, was closely linked to the extraordinary strength of the domain creatures, which contained abundant quantities of it within their bodies.
So researchers proposed that if humans were to implant this special substance into their own bodies, they might beco as powerful as the domain creatures.
Experints proved that the special substance could indeed enhance human capabilities.
This discovery marked a major breakthrough. Since technology had failed to defeat the domain creatures, humanity ultimately resolved to fight magic with magic.
The research team that first discovered this miraculous substance nad it "spiritual energy."
Over the following centuries, human scholars dedicated their lives to studying it, developing nurous cultivation techniques capable of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Thus began humanity's era of evolution.
Cultivation academies sprang up across the globe, and the dominant the of human developnt shifted from peaceful economic growth to a new era of universal martial arts.
Fueled by cultivation techniques, powerful individuals capable of resisting domain creatures erged in increasing numbers worldwide.
To this day, many small Domain Fields have been dismantled and dispersed by human experts from within. However, countless human pioneers have paid the ultimate price in the struggle against domain creatures.
Feng Qi is an upcoming high school graduate, poised to enter a cultivation academy.
In a few days, he will face his graduation exam. If he achieves excellent results, he can secure admission to his ideal cultivation academy.
After graduation, he will have the opportunity to join the academy's cultivation technique research institute or form/join a combat team that roams the various Domain Fields, becoming a warrior.
After hearing Feng Qi's explanation, Wang Jinsheng's expression finally softened.
"Now, explain what just happened."
"I've been studying too hard lately and feeling inexplicably exhausted. I must have fainted earlier, which is why I didn't hear you calling ," Feng Qi said, frowning as he rubbed his temples.
Wang Jinsheng stared at Feng Qi suspiciously for a few seconds before his expression relaxed. He turned to Mo Fei, who was sitting beside Feng Qi, and said:
"Mo Fei, take Feng Qi to the infirmary. Exams are coming up, and we can't afford any health issues!"
Mo Fei nodded obediently.
As they left the classroom, Mo Fei looked at Feng Qi with curiosity.
"Crazy, what was that all about today? I couldn't even wake you up with a hard pinch! Is sothing really wrong with you?"
"I'm not sure. It's probably just the stress. Let's get checked out at the infirmary first."
A mont later, Feng Qi and Mo Fei arrived at the school infirmary.
The infirmary was simply furnished. Three beds lined the right side of the room, while shelves on the left were stocked with various dical supplies. A small, empty cubicle stood in the center.
Just then, the door swung open again.
A graceful figure stepped inside—a woman around 1.72 ters tall, with a slender build and refined features.
Draped in a loose white coat, she strode toward Feng Qi with a stormy expression before turning and delivering a punch to Mo Fei's stomach. Mo Fei doubled over, his face ashen.
"Didn't I tell you not to co to the infirmary unless it's an ergency? How many tis have I said this?!"
"My buddy's sick! This ti it's really an ergency!" Despite the pain, Mo Fei forced a smile, though it looked more like a grimace.
Watching from the side, Feng Qi imdiately conjured up a lodramatic scenario: a simp groveling for the attention of his unattainable goddess.
Why else wouldn't he fight back?
Sure, she's pretty, but if she hit , I'd grab her hair, knee her in the face, throw her over my shoulder, make her stand up straight, spin around for a roundhouse kick to knock her down, jump up for an elbow drop to the face, KO. If she's still breathing, I'd finish her off with a sliding kick.
Hearing Mo Fei's explanation, the woman turned to Feng Qi, her expression softening.
"Hello, student. I'm Chen Youzi, the new school doctor. What's troubling you?"
Feng Qi hesitated, then said awkwardly, "I just had a very vivid nightmare, like I was actually there. I could even sll the scents in the dream. Is there sothing wrong with my ntal state?"
Chen Youzi remained remarkably calm.
With exams approaching, she considered it perfectly normal for students to exhibit physical or ntal abnormalities due to stress. She had even witnessed a student stripping naked and running across the schoolyard before the gaokao to release pent-up emotions, so nightmares were a minor concern by comparison.
"Alright, lie down on the bed. I'll give you a full-body checkup."
Feng Qi nodded imdiately and settled onto the infirmary bed. Chen Youzi then stepped into the partitioned area of the infirmary and activated the main control console.
As he waited, the tal sphere above the bed slowly opened, revealing a network of internal lights and neatly arranged dical instrunts for physical examinations.
Under Chen Youzi's control, the instrunts whirred to life, and tallic arms extended downward.
A series of tests began: electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood analysis, resting heart rate, blood pressure, lung function... Once completed, the report slowly erged from the console.
Chen Youzi picked up the report and began reviewing Feng Qi's physical condition.
After a mont, she turned to Feng Qi, who was watching her with a worried expression, and said:
"Your physical condition is excellent. There are no issues. It's likely due to recent stress. Just make sure to rest properly while studying, and you'll be fine."
With that, Chen Youzi handed Feng Qi the dical report.
Feng Qi let out a long sigh of relief and reached out to take the report.
The vividness of the dream had genuinely worried him. He'd feared he might be developing a ntal disorder like paranoia.
He glanced down at the report, about to crumple it up and toss it into the nearby trash can, when his eyes landed on the "Bloodline Strength" section. The recorded value made him freeze in shock.
Bloodline Strength (Feng Qi): 21.13
"How is that possible?!" Feng Qi exclaid, his face etched with astonishnt.
Just the day before, his bloodline level had been asured at 21.03.
He hadn't consud any expensive spirit liquids or pills in the interim, so there was no logical explanation for such a rapid increase.
Yet the report clearly showed his bloodline strength had inexplicably risen by 0.1.
A seemingly small incrent, but normally, increasing his bloodline strength by 0.1 required half a month of intense training, coupled with strict dietary control.
This bizarre improvent imdiately reminded him of the bloodline evolution points he'd gained after killing the living dead in his dream.
Could it truly be connected to that strange dream?
