1: Newborn

This book does not feature brain-dead characters, nor is it a mindless villain-slapping story. It's highly enjoyable and exciting. There is no female lead. A million-word outline has been completed, so Fellow Daoists can add it to their bookshelves and savor it slowly.

"Chen Qing, please come in!"

Inside the teacher's office at Yunhai Middle School, the homeroom teacher Ma Wenguo sat behind a desk and gestured towards a chair beside it.

Chen Qing pulled out the chair and sat down, his back ramrod straight.

The office was spacious, and the desks, chairs, and benches were standard Blue Star Federation issue, uniform across the entire Federation.

Yunhai Middle School was also an inconspicuous middle school after the Federation's restructuring, tasked with cultivating combat-oriented talent for the Federation.

Ma Wenguo pushed a pre-arranged document in front of Chen Qing, the words on it clear and prominent.

"Name: Chen Qing"

"Student ID: 3892"

"Ability Rank: Ice and Snow Affinity F-Rank"

"Life Force Strength: 0.38"

"Growth in the last 30 days: Approximately 0.000000001"

"Grade Ranking: 4129 / 4131"

Ma Wenguo's hand lightly traced the data on the paper. His words were calm as he said, "Chen Qing, you are a good student. You are active and diligent in class, and you put a lot of effort into your homework. I've often noticed that the handwriting on other students' assignments is the same as yours, clearly indicating you've done it for them."

Chen Qing felt a bit embarrassed; tutoring others with their homework was his part-time job.

Ma Wenguo adjusted his glasses: "However, you also know that the college entrance examination is divided into two paths: academic and martial arts."

Since the Federation was invaded by external enemies, it has urgently needed a large number of Martial Artists.

The war on the front lines is raging, and the number of human casualties on the starry battlefield reaches millions every year!

Humanity needs people, but more importantly, it needs warriors, powerful warriors.

Therefore, the Federation has planned two paths for everyone.

One is the academic path, where the original curriculum remains unchanged, focusing on cultivating new talents in fields such as medicine, cooking, animal husbandry, and agriculture. These individuals, upon graduating high school, prepare to enroll in vocational and technical colleges.

The other path is the Martial Arts path. After graduating high school, these students primarily go to various Martial Arts Universities and military units.

Chen Qing looked at the Life Force Strength in the table; this was the key to distinguishing between the two paths.

If Life Force Strength reaches 1, it means you have become an official Martial Artist and stepped onto the Martial Dao path.

Generally speaking, if Life Force Strength is above 0.6, which is the passing line, these individuals have the right to apply to Martial Arts Universities. If they also have good academic scores, they can smoothly enter an ordinary Martial Arts University. If they can achieve something in university and their Life Force Strength breaks through 1, then they can enjoy the treatment of a Martial Artist.

If Life Force is below 0.6, then, unfortunately, the Martial Arts path is essentially closed to you.

Unauthorized personnel, this path is closed.

What awaits you is basically vocational school, spouse assignment, and a one-stop service for marriage and starting a family.

It's worth mentioning that due to the high number of warriors lost on the battlefield each year, the Federation has a very open marriage policy to prevent a significant population decline.

Especially for students who fail to get into Martial Arts Universities, the Alliance will comprehensively evaluate you based on your knowledge, culture, physical condition, and other factors to match you with a suitable partner.

In other words, they'll send you a wife!

And as long as you have children within the stipulated time, the more children you have, the higher the support policies will be. Moreover, with the Alliance's current technological means, there's no need to worry about the pain of childbirth or physical recovery, as there are special ability users dedicated to this type of work.

The Alliance has records of a couple who started conceiving immediately after high school graduation and managed to produce 132 normal humans within 10 years! That couple subsequently lived a life of luxury.

Homeroom teacher Ma Wenguo took out another document, which contained an assessment of Chen Qing's overall situation.

"Good character"

"Excellent grades"

"Mother passed away early due to illness, father is alive"

"Body is relatively intact, but physique is not strong"

...Looking at the various status assessments, Ma Wenguo said, "Based on your basic situation, the information for your matched partner has also been generated."

As he spoke, another report appeared, accompanied by a photo of a young girl.

Chen Qing looked at the photo. It was a girl wearing a simple school uniform, with long, smooth black hair, a slender figure, and delicate features.

She was one of Yunhai Middle School's campus beauties! She was also the ideal partner in the hearts of many boys, as this girl had a calm and understated personality, tending to be quiet in her daily life.

Chen Qing also knew her; she was from the class next to his.

He hadn't expected such a coincidence, that this very girl would be assigned to him.

"You're probably not unfamiliar with this student; she's from the class next door. She actually proactively asked the teacher for your information!"

She proactively asked for it?

However, Chen Qing still hoped to pursue the Martial Dao path and was unwilling to settle for an ordinary life just yet.

"Teacher Ma, let me think about it again. I believe I still have a chance."

Ma Wenguo said no more, deciding to give him ample time to consider.

"Think about it as soon as possible. It's rare for her to be so proactive; she carefully reviewed your information and is willing to associate with you."

After leaving the office, Chen Qing quickly returned to his residence.

This was a rented room, about 50 square meters, serving as the home for him and his father.

The room was filled with a mixed scent of plants and various compounds, an aroma his father brought back from his long years of work.

His father, Chen Youzhong, was a retired soldier who had once fought on the front lines. Later, he suffered severe injuries on the battlefield, leaving him with a chronic illness. His mother also passed away early, so he retired to specifically take care of Chen Qing's daily life. He currently works at a plantation.

However, he wasn't home right now. Chen Qing rubbed his face and sat down on the sofa.

He had never told anyone that he was actually a Transmigrator. Yesterday, he inexplicably Transmigrated here, inheriting the original owner's memories.

This seemed to be a parallel world, where almost everything was the same as his original world, except for the existence of abilities and Martial Artists.

People in this world generally Awaken their abilities before the age of 18, whether early or late, which also brings corresponding Cultivation Aptitude for Martial Dao Cultivation.

Chen Qing was helpless; his original body had actually Awakened an F-Rank ability, Ice and Snow Affinity!

The lowest ability Rank was F-Rank. The highest Chen Qing knew of was S-Rank; he wasn't clear about anything above that.

Accordingly, an F-Rank ability couldn't assist with Cultivation at all, so his Life Force Strength had remained at 0.38, a long way from the 0.6 passing line.

The only way he knew to improve Cultivation Aptitude was to purchase some gene optimization-related potions, but the optimization effect was limited, and crucially, they were too expensive!

Given his family's financial situation, his father's monthly salary was less than 10,000 Federation dollars, barely enough for the two of them to eat and drink.

And a single bottle of the most ordinary optimization potion cost a staggering 1,000,000 Federation dollars!

After Transmigration, was he, who was a workhorse in his previous life, destined to be a workhorse again in this life?

System, don't hide! Come out now!

There was no movement.

System, I curse you, Immortal!

Suddenly, Chen Qing's vision blurred, and several lines of text appeared out of thin air!

"Detected host possesses Ice and Snow Affinity"

"Ice God System activating"

"System activated!"

"Detected host's ability is too weak, ability Ice and Snow Affinity (F) upgraded, changed to Bone Wing Ice Dragon King (S)"

——————

"Ice God System"

"Name: Chen Qing"

"Race: Carbon-based Human"

"Ability: Bone Wing Ice Dragon King (S)"

"Life Force: 0.68"

"Mental Energy: 1.62"

"Realm: Quasi-Martial Artist"

"Cultivation Technique: Blue Star Federation 169th set of broadcast gymnastics 20 / 100 (Beginner)"

"Martial Skill: None"

"Ice God Tower Space: First floor unlocked (Each Life Force Advancement will unlock the next floor)"

——————

"There really is a System!"

Moreover, his ability had advanced, actually becoming S-Rank!

The System truly is my adoptive father; forgive me for being too loud just now!
