Everyone Is Cultivating Supernatural Powers, Why Am I The Only One Cultivating Immortality?

Jiang Li's shock was quickly suppressed by the school, after all, the people behind still needed to continue testing.

However, everyone knew that what happened at school today was about to set off the entire Jiangdong Province.

As for Jiang Li, who had no future prospects, let's not even talk about it. The S-level of the goddess Ji was bound to become the topic of countless people's discussions in the near future.

......

At noon, Jiang Li returned home.

Today, he only needed to complete the testing of his supernatural talent.

Those without talent would continue to attend classes tomorrow.

Those with talent would return to school in a week to fill out their preferred schools.

People with talent at level C or above often choose the legendary Five Great Institutes.

Since the beginning of the supernatural era, countless supernatural organizations have emerged within the human camp, some righteous, some evil.

Only five organizations stood aloof from the rest, powerful but absolutely neutral, not involved in any power struggles, solely dedicated to nurturing supernatural talents.

They occupied the most abundant spiritual places, possessed the highest level of supernatural research, and the richest resources. People referred to these five forces as the Five Great Institutes.

Jiang Li's dream was to enter the only one of the Five Great Institutes established in Jiangdong Province, the Tiandao Institute located in Jinling City.

Now, according to the researcher, even though he had an X-level talent, the upper limit was only Transcendent. It was certain that the Five Great Institutes, which aimed to cultivate human elites, would not accept him.

Below the Five Great Institutes was the elite squad training program of the military.

They only recruited talents of level C or above each year.

Although slightly inferior to the Five Great Institutes in terms of teaching staff and resources, they still attracted many talented individuals due to their official background, financial status, and treatment.

Zhang Hai's aspiration was here, and fortunately, today he also successfully tested for a level C fire attribute talent, which would surely enable him to realize his dream of many years.

Below that were the ordinary supernatural academies and the ordinary supernatural squad training of the military in local small cities, which were the choices of most people with average talents.

Jiang Li fell into contemplation. Firstly, he would not consider the military training because it was closed, and he might not be able to return home for a month, especially with a sister to take care of.

As for the Five Great Institutes, although Jinling City was not far from Jianghua City, it was unlikely that they would accept him given his situation.

So the only choice was the local supernatural academy in Jianghua City, but was it really necessary to go to such a place?

Just as Jiang Li was caught in a dilemma, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding, long-term mission activated. Host is to participate in the Supernova Cup challenge one month later. The system will reward based on the host's ranking!]

[Ding, short-term mission activated. Host is to kill 50 Level 1 supernatural beasts and collect their bodies within two weeks. Mission reward: 10 Qi Gathering Pills]

The Supernova Cup challenge... Jiang Li quickly looked up this unfamiliar term on the computer.

"The Supernova Cup challenge is a nationwide event held annually, open to all students from ordinary supernatural academies to elite members of the Five Great Institutes, as long as they are under 20 years old.

Outstanding performers will receive generous rewards from official departments, and many students from ordinary academies may even gain recognition from important figures of the Five Great Institutes, propelling them to new heights."

Looking at the introduction that popped up on the screen, Jiang Li helplessly scratched his head. It seemed that in order to complete the system's mission, he had to go to this academy no matter what.

As for the Level 1 supernatural beasts, he would consider it after his body had completely transformed and he became a Qi Refining cultivator.

After making up his mind, Jiang Li left the room to prepare lunch with his sister.

......

Lijun Hotel, Presidential Suite on the top floor

Sun Ziyang sat in the chair with a gloomy expression.

He had called Jimo Tao twice earlier, but he had unexpectedly been blacklisted!

Thinking of this, Sun Ziyang's face grew even more sinister.

The doorbell rang at the entrance.

"Come in!"

As the voice fell, a tall man in a black suit entered the suite.

"Young master, the target's information has been found!" The tall man respectfully handed several sheets of paper containing Jiang Li's family information to Sun Ziyang.

"Both parents are free supernatural beings, with levels of Transcendent 7 and Transcendent 8," Sun Ziyang said as he looked at the information, lost in thought.

"Young master, according to reliable sources, that kid went to the public security bureau this morning to report that his parents were abducted by mysterious individuals last night."

Sun Ziyang's eyes suddenly lit up. "So, there's only him and his sister at home. This is a stroke of luck for me... a stroke of luck for me..."

"Arrange for someone to disable the kid's limbs and then bring him and his sister to me. Remember, they must be alive!"

"Yes, young master!"

The man in black responded and left.

Evil flames continued to flicker in Sun Ziyang's eyes.

"Hehe, you and your family will pay the price for your actions, and you will learn the consequences of challenging my Sun family!"

......

August 19th, late at night

Jiang Li sat quietly in his room, meditating. If a high-level supernatural being were present, they would be shocked to find that the air was filled with energy, which was converging towards Jiang Li's body at an incredible speed.

The speed of this convergence far exceeded the limit that a newly advanced supernatural being could absorb. Even an S-level talent would only burst and die in this situation.

However, Jiang Li's body was as stable as a mountain, and the raging spiritual power was unable to shake his body, quickly transforming into energy within his flesh.

With a long exhale, a major circulation was completed.

"In three days, I have finally completed the refinement of all my flesh and officially entered the first level of Qi Refining!"

Jiang Li's eyes shone with excitement. His body was now like a dormant volcano, silent most of the time but capable of terrifying power when unleashed.

In terms of supernatural levels, Jiang Li had now officially entered the Transcendent 1st stage.

However, Jiang Li's Immortal Ascension technique for body refinement was far superior to the supernatural system, and the power contained within his body was beyond the reach of even ten Transcendent 1st stage individuals.

Through the system, Jiang Li had already learned that the supernatural essence was essentially a way to improve body functions using spiritual energy, but it was much cruder and inferior compared to the cultivation of immortality, with many drawbacks.

"Hmm? What's that sound?"

After entering the first level of Qi Refining, Jiang Li's senses had significantly improved.

At this moment, he sensed a barely audible sound of footsteps outside the door.

His sister's room was very close to his, and if it was her, Jiang Li should have noticed when the door was opened. Moreover, the footsteps outside the door were clearly being deliberately concealed.

Could it be...

Jiang Li's expression darkened, and he silently moved to a corner.

The door slowly creaked open.

A dark figure cautiously entered, moving towards the bed.

In the figure's hand, a dagger glinted with a chilling light in the darkness.

Just as the figure was about to lift the blanket, Jiang Li, who had been silently following behind, made his move!

Jiang Li fully activated the Immortal Ascension technique, concentrating all his strength in his arm, and struck out with a powerful punch!

Whoosh!

The force of the punch whistled through the air.

The figure sensed something amiss behind and instinctively turned to block with their arm.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking, accompanied by a piercing scream, sent the figure flying as a result of the punch.

With a thud, the figure tumbled and hit the corner of the room, the dagger falling to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Li pursued and delivered a kick to the figure's abdomen.

This time, the figure didn't even have a chance to scream before losing consciousness.

"Knock, knock."

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Brother, what happened just now? I heard strange noises in your room."

Although Jiang Li's room had excellent soundproofing, the scream had been too loud.

Jiang Li quickly replied, "It's nothing, I accidentally unplugged my earphones. The movie's sound was too loud!"

"Oh, okay."

Jiang Ling'er returned to her room, somewhat skeptical of her brother's explanation. However, as long as he was okay, there was no problem. After all, everyone had their own privacy.

After dealing with his sister, Jiang Li turned on the room light and used a bundle of rope from the cabinet to tie up the unconscious intruder.

In the light, Jiang Li could see that the attacker was a young man around 20 years old, with dyed blonde hair, an earring, and a streetwise demeanor.

Additionally, Jiang Li could sense a complex spiritual energy fluctuation from the intruder, indicating that he was also a supernatural being.

However, Jiang Li couldn't understand when he might have offended the intruder, as he usually acted cautiously and was friendly to others.

Oh well, he would just ask him directly.

Jiang Li picked up the fallen dagger and held it against the intruder's neck.

With his other hand clenched into a fist, he gathered his strength and delivered a punch to the intruder's stomach!

The intruder's eyes suddenly opened, and just as he was about to scream, he caught sight of the dagger at his neck and held back.

Satisfied, Jiang Li nodded.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions next, and you just need to answer honestly. If I'm not satisfied with your answers..."

Jiang Li lightly applied pressure with the hand holding the dagger, causing a trickle of blood to appear on the intruder's neck.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" The intruder's eyes were filled with fear, and just as he was about to nod, he looked at the dagger on his neck and dared not move.

"Who are you, and why did you try to assassinate me?"

The intruder swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "I... I'm called Huang Tao, a free supernatural being. I was commissioned by someone... to disable your limbs. Th-then take you and your sister away..."

As he spoke, Huang Tao observed Jiang Li's expression. When he saw Jiang Li's eyes growing colder, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Who hired you?"

"I-it's Young Master Sun! Sun Ziyang from the Sun family! Ever since he came to Jiangdong a month ago, he has often hired me for some shady things. Please spare me, I really know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again in the future."

Ignoring Huang Tao's tears, Jiang Li carefully considered the situation.
