I Registered as a Rank B, Then Became a State Secret

Twelve years ago, You Qian accidentally swallowed an ancient immortal artifact called the Spirit Hall and became a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Twelve years later, spiritual qi revival swept the world.

On TV, a B-rank esper conjured a fist-sized fireball and drew gasps from the crowd, earning the title “walking natural disaster.”

Online, a C-rank telekinetic gained a million followers just by moving a car and was hailed as “a living god.”

Then there was his old-school cultivation: a sweep of his divine sense covered the whole city, and the surge of his true essence could burn mountains and boil seas…

Corporate drone You Qian fell into deep thought:

“Does this era have some kind of misunderstanding about what ‘powerful’ means?”

When the government’s most advanced energy detector was pointed at him, he couldn’t help burping. The device instantly went off the charts and shut down, its screen flashing two final words: [Obliteration].

[Ding! You have received the official designation “Abyss.” Threat level: Unknown]

Hoping to get into the government system and coast on the job, You Qian went to register his esper rank.

“Name?”

“You Qian.”

“Ability?”

“Uh… mine’s a little unusual. Mainly, I… can eat.”

“You can eat?”

“Yeah. I can eat a little bit of any kind of energy and digest it.”

The examiner scoffed and casually tossed out a B-rank electrical net.

In the next instant, You Qian swallowed the crackling lightning in one bite. He smacked his lips and gave his honest opinion:

“The flavor… is a little sharp. The texture’s like an underripe pineapple.”

The examiner: “…”

Every member of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau: “Boss, please stop pretending! Keep this up and you’ll break the whole planet!”

You Qian: “I’m really not a boss. I’m just an old Nascent Soul monster hoping to retire in peace.”
