I've Survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and You Want Me to Take the College Entrance Exam?

A high school senior, Jiang Huai failed the college entrance exam.

Staring at the System panel that had suddenly appeared before him, he fell into deep thought.

[You have spent over a decade refining your qi, intent on building your foundation and proving your Dao through the Wenqu tribulation. But the backlash from your inner demon sent your meridians into reverse, and your efforts ended in failure. Building your foundation is now impossible.]

“The Wenqu tribulation must mean the college entrance exam. ‘Building your foundation is now impossible’ means I failed, right? But what’s all this about my inner demon and my meridians going into reverse…? I just had an anxiety attack during the exam and went off topic in my essay…”

[You failed your tribulation, leaving less than a tenth of your spiritual power. You urgently need a secret realm where rogue cultivators can rebuild their strength. A Spirit-Gathering Array can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your body; Body-Tempering techniques can strengthen your physique…]

“A secret realm where rogue cultivators can rebuild? That’s got to mean a cram school, right? A Spirit-Gathering Array? If I’m not mistaken, that means morning reading. But what’s all this about body-tempering techniques to strengthen my physique…? Seriously, did you have to make morning exercises sound so grand?”

[Your cultivation has fallen, and your Dao heart is shattered. You urgently need to enter the Dark Domain Spirit Realm to seek out rare treasures… Danger!!! A high-ranking cultivator has been detected ahead, half a step from Foundation Establishment. Beware: they may kill you and seize your treasures!!!]

“What Dark Domain Spirit Realm? That’s a damn internet cafe! And if you mean vocational college, just say vocational college. What the hell do you mean, ‘half a step from Foundation Establishment’…?”
