I Improve My Cultivation Through the Imperial Exams, So Why Call Me a Heretic?

[Xuanhuan] [Imperial Exams] [Ensemble Cast] [Underachiever's Comeback]

Three years after transmigrating, Shen Zhao did everything he could to cultivate immortality: burning fake mountains, eating cold leftovers, and getting struck by lightning. He forced himself into becoming the laughingstock of the entire capital.

His mother finally lost patience and slapped him into the underachievers' class at the Imperial Academy. “If you can't pass the exams, get out!”

Just as Shen Zhao thought his dream of cultivating immortality was over and prepared to eat, drink, and wait for death with his spoiled classmates, the cultivation System that had been dormant for three years suddenly sprang back to life!

Looking at the Analects in his hands, Shen Zhao had an epiphany.

“‘Study and regularly review what you have learned’ means that cultivation techniques must be honed day and night to reach perfection!”

“‘Review the old and learn the new’ means repeatedly refining old spells until you suddenly grasp new moves!”

“‘Choose what is good and follow it’ means selecting the finest cultivation techniques and discarding incomplete scrolls that lead to cultivation deviation!”

The teacher was furious, and his classmates were dumbfounded.

Then one day, Shen Zhao recited a passage from the Mencius, and his mighty literary aura became ten thousand swords soaring into the sky. The whole capital dropped to its knees. “We thought you were an underachiever! How did you ascend to immortality in broad daylight?!”
