The Days I Ranked Last at the Cultivation Academy

Yunshan Academy is renowned throughout the land, its halls filled with exceptional talents.

The newest class is made up entirely of prodigies.

There is the dean's son, the demon king's daughter, a young lady from a distinguished family, a genius from a poor background, and a half-breed born of a human and a demon lord.

And then there's Tang Ying.

Tang Ying ranks dead last on Yunshan Academy's academic list.

She ranks first on its wealth list.

At first, everyone said, "Tang Ying? She never takes her cultivation or studies seriously. All she does is mess around with crooked schemes: Taobao shopping, gacha games, the Dao Forum... Shamelessly lining her pockets, wasting her life on frivolous pursuits."

Later, they said, "Hurry and buy it! The senior sister of Yuanji Immortal Sect is selling peach blossom charms on Taobao. I hear everyone who buys one finds a partner!"

"Have you heard?! The top sword cultivator, who'd been stuck at the Tribulation Realm for years, played Sword Breaks the Heavens, comprehended the sword intent, and broke through!"

"The abbot of Yichun Mountain and the head of Floating Island are discussing Buddhist teachings live on the Dao Forum. All the Buddhist cultivators watching have made breakthroughs!"

Later still, they said, "Sister Ying! When are you releasing a new product? I want to break through!"

Tang Ying: Thanks for asking. I'm at Yunshan Academy, studying hard so I don't get expelled, starting with getting to second-to-last place.
