"You truly are a..."
Three days after Teacher Chen left, the Prison Warden called for Meng Yu.
"What is it, Uncle Li?"
"Nothing much, just that I think you really are a talent."
The Prison Warden shook his head, what could he say?
Although there was no video, no surveillance, when a man and a woman applied for a three-day visit, and with the payment for the washroom products, and the video of the girl leaving, Meng Yu suddenly getting himself all clean and neat, everyone could guess what had happened.
This rascal... So, should he be condemned?
Sorry, but Teacher Chen has already resigned, she's now a regular citizen, and has nothing to do with Meng Yu, he's just very envious that Meng Yu at this age has a beautiful older sister who likes him.
"Rot alone in a cell? Can't sleep?"
The first meeting had a recording, of course, the Prison Warden had listened, he could only say that Teacher Chen, you were too naive, is it difficult for Meng Yu to want women?
He had killed someone, but he had many fans, including female fans who sent him messages, expressing their willingness to visit him, and it wasn't just one or two, among them were quite a few beauties, applying to reserve a suite for a meeting wasn't out of the question.
That beautiful woman, truly left one at a loss for words.
"You've been performing well recently, I've decided to agree to your request."
The Prison Warden thought it over and finally made up his mind.
"From today on, you are the cleaning worker of compound fifteen in the prison, that Old Liefire isn't much of anything, don't listen to him."
Old Liefire was a test, and Meng Yu had passed.
It could be seen that Meng Yu was a meticulous and honest person.
...
The next day, Meng Yu was given a bigger room with better conditions.
From then on, he was no longer the Bellows Operator at the smithing workshop, nor the White Crane Acolyte in the pill furnace, but had a new position.
Swordsmanship Instructor (pretense), Martial Training Grounds Cleaner (reality).
Yes, a duty of teaching the prison guards swordsmanship as an inmate.
Regarding the Prison Warden's decision, the prison guards all expressed that it was very good, they supported it!
The prison guards certainly needed to be highly skilled in martial arts, what could be better than a young man with Sword Intent and no malice as their teacher?
Although the prison was full of talents, not many had Sword Intent.
Meng Yu's daily job was to spar with (teach, train with) the prison guards, and the wardens came one by one to challenge Meng Yu, who also grew through these battles.
Of course, as the cleaner of the martial training grounds, he also had the privilege, during his free time, to enjoy the First Grade Spiritual Spring and the corresponding bruise and injury medicine, and to flip through the swordsmanship manuals there.
No one in the prison troubled Meng Yu, as the Prison Warden had expressed compassion for this young man. Although his crimes were unforgivable, they were understandable, and everyone should be nicer to him. He wasn't the same as the other criminals; he still had a moldable future, so don't bully him.
These words, along with Meng Yu's formidable combat strength, ensured that Meng Yu's subsequent days went very well.

Time flew, and several months had passed.
Every day, he fought with the sword, trained, and his cultivation grew stronger; his Swordsmanship became increasingly proficient, his Meridians and physique were enhanced during the countless moments of labor. Even some prisoners sourly commented that if Meng Yu were outside, he wouldn't receive such good treatment. Look at his sparring partners—they're not only free but also powerful. Meanwhile, outside, selling several houses wouldn't be enough to afford such training partners.
After all, everyone here was willing to voluntarily engage in Sword Training with Meng Yu. It was a win-win situation, whereas outside, it would cost a fortune.
Until that day, the high-stakes examination of the Immortal Sect on Supreme Star was about to begin.
It was a global feast that all eyes would be watching.
This year, ninety million high school students who had reached the Qi Cultivation Stage on Supreme Star would enter a virtual space constructed by the Divine Mirror Twelve— to participate in a fully simulated examination.
Here, you could engage in a fight to forget oneself, experiencing the tragedy of being slaughtered for the first time in life. You could also hack a handsome guy or a beautiful girl into eighteen parts without anyone thinking you are a psychopath.
Of course, for those geniuses, it was also their moment to showcase their personal flair. By then, their names would be known by all!
Indeed, it was also a time for those high school students with clear yet foolish eyes to realize the harsh reality of this cruel world.
The simulation equipment connected to the main server, Divine Mirror Twelve, was available in the prison, so Meng Yu didn't need to go outside for installation. Then, carrying the Jade Pendant issued by the Immortal Sect, in the next moment, Meng Yu entered the virtual world.
This was a vast arena with no bounds. Ninety million high school students in the Qi Cultivation Stage, including all the high school students, entered this virtual competition space at this moment, becoming part of the spectators.
Teams of students grouped by counties, states, or cities were superimposed in different spaces, surrounded by good friends, and in the center of the arena were the bigwigs of the Immortal Sect!
The college entrance examination of the Immortal Sect was the foundation of the nation!
First, the establishment of the Immortal Sect was broadcast.
Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Immortal Sect arrived in this universe due to an accident and settled on Supreme Star, integrating with the local natives, leading to the early form of the Immortal Sect.
But the universe was dangerous, filled with various kinds of enemies. The Immortal Sect defeated the invading enemies time and time again, but also went through many perils. At the most dangerous times, the combat was extremely tragic, Minor Worlds were fully conquered, Supreme Star was abandoned, men became slaves, women became cauldrons for concoction, Golden Cores were made into medicine, Nascent Souls were refined hundreds of times into dregs!
It was a battle where countless people fought selflessly, a victory built upon sacrifices.
Fortunately, the Immortal Sect eventually won, relying on changes implemented during the war.
Education for all without discrimination and equality between immortals and mortals.
As time rushed forward, thousands of years flashed by, and many things were added, such as economic development and more.
This particular addition improved the lives of the public more and more.
The twenty-minute promotional video finally ended, and then, the competition officially began.
This time, the participants included not only students from Supreme Star but also outstanding high school graduates from hundreds of surrounding planets who came through the Interstellar High-speed Railway or Teleportation Arrays. They would enjoy the competition with the students of Supreme Star.
Countless screens broadcast numerous matches.
This was a competition without any seeded players. Anyone who entered would be randomly matched with an opponent by the Moon God. Your next opponent might be the child of a Golden Core Expert, or maybe you'd encounter someone who surrendered at the raise of a hand—a weakling.
Of course, it might also be a handsome guy or a pretty girl.
The friendship event for third-year students of the Immortal Sect had officially begun, with countless people waiting for exciting matches. Different hot personalities became stars, and even more people who were unknown vowed to make a name for themselves.
And Meng Yu, without any ostentation or fanfare, was like a dull little pebble, silent.
