Chapter 3 – Lu Shushan's Shock!

“I refreshed the ‘Heavenly Dao Ranking’?!”

Ye Sheng froze in place.

Last night, he truly hadn’t realized this.

But upon careful thought, it made sense.

His Celestial Master Class had an exaggerated rating of SSSS!

The strongest Class in this world was only SSS!

It was only natural that he surpassed it, so appearing on the ‘Heavenly Dao Ranking’ was no surprise!

Ye Sheng sat there in a daze.

Meanwhile, Lu Shushan and Lu Ming were passionately discussing.

“Celestial Master? What kind of Class is that?”

Lu Shushan looked excited, also feeling this was a major event.

Lu Ming, however, looked bewildered and shook his head. “I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it!”

Lu Shushan pondered, “That’s normal! Which Class that can make it onto the Aberration Ranking isn’t extremely special?”

The Heavenly Dao Ranking was also vividly nicknamed the ‘Aberration Ranking’!

Anyone who could make it onto the list was an exceptional talent among humans!

Every Class was incredibly powerful!

As long as they grew smoothly, even the weakest would become a Giant Level figure in their own right!

Because their potential was too immense, they could almost be invincible within their realm!

“What about the rating? Is it SSS?”

Lu Shushan asked again.

But as soon as he asked, he felt a bit foolish!

To replace the original first place, this Celestial Master Class naturally had to be an SSS Class!

What was there to ask?

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming shook his head. “It’s not SSS!”

“Not SSS? How is that possible?”

Lu Shushan was stunned. If it wasn’t SSS, how could it have pushed out the original first place?

Lu Ming’s expression suddenly grew excited. “It’s not SSS! It’s SSSS!

It’s the world’s first-ever SSSS Class!”

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shushan was dumbfounded. His mind buzzed with shock.

SSSS!

He never imagined someone’s Class could break through this world’s Class ceiling of SSS!

Mother Lu also widened her eyes.

“Heavens~! Who on earth underwent the Class Change to become this ‘Celestial Master’?”

Lu Shushan groaned!

The Heavenly Dao Ranking only displayed the Class and its rating, not the identity of its owner.

The three of them remained in shock for a long time.

Finally, Lu Shushan shook his head, snapped back to reality, and looked seriously at his son, Lu Ming. “Son, these aberrations are not from the same world as us!

We should focus on our own matters.”

With a solemn expression, Lu Shushan continued, “Now that you have an A-Class, your next goal is to aim for the ‘Federation Grand Examination’!

Strive to get into the Federation’s top institution—Fengdu University!

If you can get into Fengdu University, you’ll be in the same school as these aberrations.”

As he spoke, Lu Shushan’s breathing grew somewhat hurried!

Mother Lu also looked hopeful. “Yes, Xiao Ming! This is the Federation’s top institution!

It gathers all the Federation’s prodigies and monstrous talents!

If you can get in, you’ll bring honor to our ancestors!”

Mother Lu was equally excited.

As long as you were from the Federation, no one could remain calm after hearing about a world-class university like ‘Fengdu University’!

This was absolutely the Supreme pursuit of all the younger generation!

Even those SSS-Class aberrations would enter this university.

“I will definitely get in!”

Lu Ming was full of confidence. With an A-Class, the Probability of getting in was very high.

Lu Shushan smiled. “There are still two months until the Federation Grand Examination. You must prepare diligently!”

Beside him, Ye Sheng also wore a hopeful expression upon hearing “Fengdu University.”

Being admitted to “Fengdu University” meant entering the world’s top-tier circles and mingling with the powerful and influential—undoubtedly a life-changing opportunity.

“Only two months left until the Federation Grand Examination?”

Ye Sheng murmured to himself.

With his world-first Class, Celestial Master, preparing for two more months would surely allow him to shine brilliantly in the Federation Grand Examination!

He would astonish many!

By then, getting into Fengdu University shouldn’t be a problem.

“Um… I’m heading out for a bit!”

Ye Sheng announced, not wanting to waste any more time.

Counting carefully, there were less than two months until the “Federation Grand Examination.” He needed to quickly go and improve himself.

Every second wasted now meant a lower chance of success in the Federation Grand Examination.

Once his strength grew powerful enough, the Federation Grand Examination would be watched by the entire nation.

When Lu Shushan saw his performance, wouldn’t he be utterly shocked?

“Go on! Go on!”

Lu Shushan waved impatiently, somewhat displeased at being interrupted by Ye Sheng.

His main concern was still his own son, Lu Ming.

However, just as Ye Sheng was about to leave, he shouted loudly:

“Don’t wander around today. Go find a proper job. Your younger brother will soon need cultivation resources.”

Hearing this, Ye Sheng paused briefly, then walked out without looking back.

“That kid… hmph!”

Lu Shushan snorted coldly.

Lu Ming glanced at the clock on the wall. “Oh, it’s getting late!

I have an appointment with the group’s Mentor today. He’s taking me to the wilderness to level up!”

“Go ahead! Make sure to be polite when dealing with Tianfeng Group!”

Lu Shushan smiled, knowing this was important business.

After his son Lu Ming underwent his Class Change to an A-rank Class, he had caught the attention of a corporation group.

If he could pass their trial, they were willing to sign Lu Ming.

Once signed, they would provide cultivation resources worth “20 million” to support Lu Ming’s growth.

In return, Lu Ming would need to serve Tianfeng Group for three years!

Such a favorable arrangement naturally pleased Lu Shushan!

Otherwise, given the Lu family’s circumstances, they couldn’t possibly support Lu Ming’s growth.

After all, once one embarked on the path of a Cultivator, money was needed everywhere!

Mother Lu added, “Xiao Ming, make sure to perform well!”

She was also worried her son might not secure the contract with Tianfeng Group.

If that happened, it would crush the entire Lu family.

They simply couldn’t afford the exorbitant costs of cultivation resources!

“Understood!”

After getting ready, Lu Ming also headed out.

Securing this contract was crucial for him. If successful, he could use these resources to grow rapidly.

Then, he could shine brilliantly in the “Federation Grand Examination” two months later!

…

After leaving the Lu household, Ye Sheng soon exited Moon Spirit Residential Area.

On the streets outside Moon Spirit Residential Area, even during the day, thick ghostly fog shrouded the area.

Pedestrians hurried along.

Many were wrapped in gray coats, heads down as they rushed forward, avoiding conversation with strangers.

This was for safety reasons.

Many powerful Ghost Creatures could move about even during the day, disguising themselves as living humans and blending into crowds.

If one engaged them in conversation, they might pay a visit at night.

Only powerful Cultivators paid no mind to this.

Instead, they treated Ghost Creatures as tools for grinding Experience.

Ye Sheng, dressed in sportswear, walked leisurely along the gray, misty streets!

Celestial Master!

This Class gave him immense confidence!

He feared no Ghost Creatures!

In his past life, Celestial Masters had always been the natural nemeses of all kinds of Ghost Creatures.

After arriving in this Aberration World, it felt like a fish taking to water.

“But my level is still 0 right now!”

Ye Sheng had his hands in his pockets, pondering his next goal.

“The top priority at the moment is to go and increase my level!”

Ye Sheng thought to himself.

In this world, each time a level is raised, a trace of energy would grow within the body.

As the level rises, the energy within the body would become increasingly dense.

With energy, one becomes a Cultivator!

Capable of dealing with Ghost Creatures!

Ye Sheng sensed the condition within his body and found only a tiny bit of energy flowing.

If he didn’t focus carefully, he wouldn’t even be able to feel it.

“Too weak!”

Ye Sheng shook his head.

The realm levels in this world had clear distinctions.

Starting from 1st Revolution Level 0 after the initial Class Change,

one needed to raise 100 levels to reach 1st Revolution Level 100!

Only then could one proceed to the 2nd Revolution.

2nd Revolution Ghost Master, 3rd Revolution Ghost General, 4th Revolution Ghost Sect, 5th Revolution Ghost King… all the way to 9th Revolution Level 100!

And the way to increase levels was to

enter the wilderness, or various Ghost Realm secret realms, Ghost Realm dungeons, Ghost Realm abysses… to hunt Ghost Creatures.

These Ghost Creatures would provide abundant Experience Points.

They would also drop various powerful equipment!

“Where should I go?”

Ye Sheng stroked his chin and said, “Let’s head to the wilderness first!

If I go to a Ghost Realm secret realm now, I might get devoured alive by powerful Ghost Creatures!

And… this is a good chance to test out the Annihilation-grade Skill ‘Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’!”

…

Over ten minutes later.

Ye Sheng left ‘Ghost Mountain City’.

Ghost Mountain City was a Base City surrounded by high walls, with various ghost-suppressing runes carved on the city walls.

This ensured that Ghost Tides could not enter the city on a large scale.

But once one left ‘Ghost Mountain City’ and stepped into the wilderness, they would lose that protection.

They would need to face Ghost Creatures that surged like tides.

Only Cultivators who had undergone Class Change dared to enter the wilderness without fear and confront Ghost Creatures.

…

Outside Ghost Cloud City, Yin Energy was dense and eerie, with thick ghostly mist everywhere.

Within the ghostly mist, there were ghostly wails and mournful cries, the weeping of female ghosts, and Ferocious Ghosts howling between heaven and earth!

What’s more, there were Yin Soldiers passing through, and ordinary people had to avoid them!

Caw!

Caw!

Several ghost crows stood on a withered tree, cawing hoarsely!

In the eerie environment, it felt particularly chilling!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a bright light flashed!

The ghost crows were startled and flapped their wings, flying high into the sky.

When the light faded, a figure appeared.

It was Ye Sheng, who had left Ghost Mountain City.

Ye Sheng curiously surveyed his surroundings.

“Is this the wilderness?”

“Am I already outside Ghost Cloud City?”

Ye Sheng scratched his head; this was his first time setting foot in the wilderness in his life.

…
