My Spirit Form Is a Paramecium

Chen Mu, a Chinese special police officer who died in the line of duty, transmigrates into the body of a poor citizen in the interstellar era, only to discover that none of her skills are of any use in this world.

People in this era fight pollutants with their spirit forms, and their ability levels determine their standard of living. Against supernatural abilities, her martial arts skills are worth nothing.

Luckily, she has parents who love and protect their daughter. Despite plenty of bumps along the way, she makes it to eighteen, the age when she can finally awaken her spirit form!

Heart pounding, hands trembling, what kind of spirit form will a daughter of five thousand years of Chinese civilization awaken in this future world? A-grade? S-grade? Or even double S-grade?

But after the awakening ceremony, everyone stared at the shapeless, shoe-like clump before them and wondered, “What is that?”

The bizarre spirit form quickly attracted the attention of interstellar media. After looking through records from thousands of years ago, an archaeologist finally reached a conclusion: “It should be an ancient life-form called a paramecium.”

Chen Mu’s vision went black. She was doomed. A special police officer turned into a useless nobody. What was she supposed to do now?

With no other choice, Chen Mu returned to her old line of work and trained hard in physical combat. If she couldn’t use supernatural abilities, she’d have to fight with her own hands, wouldn’t she?

By a twist of fate, she was taken in by the principal of Taiqing Military Academy and enrolled as a transfer student in the combat division. But her spirit form was so useless that she had to switch to the medical division as support.

Other support specialists could upgrade a D-grade spirit form with just two cores. She needed ten.

Chen Mu held her paramecium and wept into the wind.

Taiqing Military Academy came in last among the four top schools every year. After finally recruiting the son of the top commander as their trump card, they had just managed to assemble their strongest team in twenty years, one that might finally wipe away their shame. Then they discovered that their medical support specialist was rather strange.

Support specialists on other teams wore the best protective gear, stayed far from the battlefield, and had people assigned to protect them. But when the horn sounded, Taiqing’s medical support specialist charged ahead with a big blade in hand, hacking away at the opposing team’s spirit forms.

Their opponents jeered, “If even your medical support has to fight at close quarters, has Taiqing really gotten this weak?”

Someone else recognized her. “Isn’t that the interstellar world’s most useless spirit form, the paramecium?”

The next second, Chen Mu’s blade came swinging toward them. “A paramecium can still beat you till you’re crawling!”

Medical support specialists at other schools were all delicate beauties, graceful and refined. No one knew why Taiqing’s medical support specialist was so eager to show off, but she was always fighting on the front lines.

Chen Mu sighed deeply. What could she do? Her paramecium needed several times more energy to upgrade than everyone else’s spirit forms. If she didn’t work hard, when would she ever save enough money to buy cores?

A beast tide suddenly swept in, and the protective barrier shattered. All the strongest fighters rushed to the front line to stop the pollutants from invading. The top commander went missing, S-grade experts fell one after another, and humanity plunged into despair. Grief-stricken, Chen Mu threw back her head and roared. In an instant, the skies changed, lightning flashed and thunder crashed, and a giant suit of armor descended from the heavens, firmly blocking the gap in the barrier.

With the armor deployed, absolute defense activated, successfully protecting humanity’s battered world.

The survivors were stunned, then overjoyed. “What is that?”

Chen Mu said, “My spirit form, the paramecium.”

The paramecium’s ultimate form blotted out the sky. Its absolute defense was impervious to water and fire. Archaeologists searched the history books through the night, only to realize that it was no paramecium at all, but a legendary beast and iconic symbol of Earth’s civilization, lost for tens of thousands of years: the divine horseshoe crab.

The divine horseshoe crab has two supernatural abilities: absolute defense and limitless regeneration.

Next book: Reborn as the Eldest Sister of a Farming Family

Jiang Aihua was reborn, returning to the year she turned eighteen.

Her youngest sister was only a year old. Her father could barely hold his head up in the village after having three daughters in a row. Her mother was timid and hardly dared leave the house. Her second sister was in middle school and had just reached her rebellious phase... This was when her family’s troubles began to pile up.

She had a terrible hand from the start, but she thought it was perfect.

Because she hadn’t yet taken a live-in husband, her mother hadn’t yet conceived a child with another man, her father hadn’t broken his leg, her second sister hadn’t started dating, and her youngest sister hadn’t been given away...

There was still time to change everything.

I’ll take back, one by one, all that was taken from me and all that I’m owed.

This barren little patch of land can’t contain my lofty ambitions.
