Chapter 936
"Ugh… my head hurts!"
Fang Yuan sensed some information from the outside world . This body seemed to be in a comatose state . Instead of forcibly awakening the body immediately, he spent his energy digesting the body's memories .
"Lin Meng… cultivation… exam… confession…"
A series of fragmented memories emerged piece-by-piece, consisting of all the body's memories .
Soon, his True Spirit stabilized, and he began to take over every part of this body .
"This world is relatively large, and it uses the concept of galaxies . Humans don't live on just one planet . Instead, they colonized different planets to create the 'Human Alliance' . In fact, this was because of an immense pressure from the outside world . Against the alliance, there's an equally strong enemy…
"It's the year 20099 here, and there is a society with extraordinary powers here . However, the technology is also very advanced . After twenty thousand years of development, were there so many amazing fruits born?"
Fang Yuan had a premonition . If this world possessed condensed Great Daos, they had to be very exotic types like 'Extraordinary Technological Great Daos' .
"How is it? How's his recovery?" A majestic voice trailed from the outside .
"He's recovering well, but he's received some brain damage . The development has been falling non-stop…" a sweet voice responded . "The likelihood of salvaging this situation is low . If we want to perform surgery, we'll have to transfer the boy to one of the top institutions . "
"What a pity . He's only eighteen . He hasn't even taken his college entrance exam yet!"
"With this amount of brain damage, he can only be a normal person in the future . His future is ruined…"
"I hear that his confession failed, so he went drinking at a bar and got into an accident…"
…
Many voices followed; some carried pity while others were joyful .

It seems like there's some trouble . That's normal . If there weren't any problems, this body's owner wouldn't have died .
Fang Yuan thought about it carefully and immediately understood all kinds of the previous owner's experiences .
The owner's name was Lin Meng . He was a high school senior studying on Planet Blue Ray, Flying Rainbow High in Flying Rainbow City .
Since he was an orphan, he was raised by the city's charity organizations . He studied diligently and had good grades . If he had not gotten into an accident, he would have received early admission into a top university, allowing him to enter a cultivation university!
Fang Yuan was left speechless that this world had college entrance exams as part of their system .
Furthermore, he realized that this world's college entrance exams were even harder than those in his memories . They were utterly brutal and truly decided people's fates!
Students that scored well could enter cultivation schools . By studying hard, they could become Extraordinaries and enter the upper-class society .
On the other hand, those who did not make it could only fall out of the race and enter a regular university . In the future, they would become low-class workers .
Lin Meng was a strong candidate as a 'seeded student' for cultivators . Within Flying Rainbow High, he had a small reputation . However, he was low-profile, so he did not have much presence either .
A few days ago, as the college entrance exam was approaching, Lin Meng gathered his courage to confess to his crush, Flying Rainbow High's top beauty—Ling Fei'er . Unfortunately, he had failed miserably .
Meeting the greatest pain in his life, he took out his savings and stepped into a bar for the first time . There, he started drinking to drown his sorrows . However, he unexpectedly suffered from an accident, causing brain damage . This was how Fang Yuan entered his body .
The previous owner… seems like he had a crush on her for three years . Thinking that he'd never see her again after his college entrance exam, he put all his eggs in a basket and gave it his all . However… he was unfortunate . Reality isn't a fairytale!
Fang Yuan mocked him silently . He doesn't know his worth . On top of that, his heart is weak . Even if she agreed and fell into his arms, and he made it to college, he wouldn't amount to anything in the future . This accident is bizarre . I don't have memories of it . Was the damage was too great?
Feeling like his body had already recovered, he opened his eyes slowly .
When he opened his eyes, he saw a pure-white hospital room . Various types of equipment were next to the hospital bed .

A nurse dressed in a pink uniform ran out of the room immediately and called for the doctor . "Doctor, the patient is awake!"
"Hello, Lin Meng!" Soon after a quick examination, a bespectacled doctor gave his diagnosis . "Other than the brain, the rest of your body is working well . You can leave the hospital now . "
"Thank you!"
Naturally, Fang Yuan understood that the irregularity in his brain arose because he had taken over . He was sure there would not be any side effects due to it .
However, the doctor's eyes were full of pity . "… This means that your brain development might be affected . You're a senior in high school, right? Your college entrance exam is coming up soon . I advise you to take the exam for a regular school!"
Brain development, huh? A new term . Let me think about it…
Fang Yuan's expression remained stoic . He pretended to look like he had received important news, but in reality, he was recalling his memories with all his might .
The so-called brain development referred to a concept that acted in alignment with cultivation . To a large extent, it was akin to the 'spiritual roots' in the past . It represented extraordinary aptitude and was universal for humans in both the East and the West .
If I think about it from my current perspective, every person uses their brain entirely . The reason there's a difference between intelligence arises from the issue of efficiency . The so-called brain development here refers to the manifestation of efficiency . A normal person can only use 10-20% of the brain efficiently! Every 1% increase requires a massive price to pay and lots of effort . According to research, if someone possesses 30% brain development, regardless of whether they study the Eastern spiritual techniques or Western arcane spells, it will be a great help in the future…
In the past few years, the East's spiritual roots and the West's scholarly aptitude have aligned as concepts of brain development . This is one of the conditions for being admitted into an extraordinary university . Without this condition, there's no use, no matter how well you study .
The past Lin Meng had a 30% brain development and had already hit the minimum threshold . This was why he was selected as a seeded candidate .
Furthermore, the most important thing was that he was naturally born with this aptitude . He was not like the children from wealthy families that had been through all sorts of training and ingested drugs to push their brain development to the maximum levels .
"What… is my development now?" Fang Yuan asked carefully .
"It's 15%! Before this, it was falling continuously . However, it stabilized three days ago!"
Three days ago was the day he took over this body!
Fang Yuan thought about this quietly . After he fully released the limits of his True Spirit, and under a Dream Master's control, how far would his brain development have increased?

At the very least, it would be 80%!
However, he would be an idiot if he requested another examination .
"Then, that's enough… Also, about my medical expenses…" Fang Yuan asked about another detail .
The doctor stared at the window in his hands . He said with certainty, "Under society's welfare programs, ninety percent of your expenses have been subsidized . Someone else paid the other ten percent . You can leave after you sign out!"
"Someone? Who?"
Fang Yuan felt suspicious . Lin Meng was an orphan and a loner without any close friends or buddies . In school, he did not know many people, so he spent the rest of his extra time working . To put it simply, even when he graduates, he probably would not be able to name some of his classmates .
"Your teacher, Miss Xiao Hongyue!"
Before Fang Yuan's eyes, the image of a knowledgeable twenty-plus-year-old woman appeared . His heart filled with gratitude .
Was this the remnants of the owner?
His gaze turned cold . He completed the documents and left the hospital .
…
Within a sealed, narrow dormitory .
Fang Yuan let out a long sigh . He flipped his single bed over, took out a crystal chip, and stuck it into his watch .
In an instant, a robotic female voice emerged .
'Ding! With all due respect, Mr . Lin Meng, please select the service you would like to use!'
"Check my remaining balance!" Fang Yuan said in a deep voice .
'Ding! Current balance: 3,990 star dollars!" the robotic female voice replied instantly .
Star dollars was the currency in the Human Alliance . It could be used on many planets and had a lot of worth .
"However, the expenses on this planet are horrifying . For example, to recover this body completely, it cost nearly one hundred thousand star dollars . Without Teacher Xiao Hongyue's help, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it even if I gave up all my assets . . "
Fang Yuan committed this to his memory .
For a Demon God, this was a part of the body's karma . He had to resolve it in the future .
After he settled down, he crossed his legs and sighed deeply . "I've finally found a place to rest . Now, what should I do next?"
His original plan was to break the seal quickly to overcome the world's restrictions . Then he would use the Dream Master techniques to figure out where he could obtain the material he needed for the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique .
However, knowing that a terrifying enemy was lurking behind his back, he had no choice but to hide . How could Fang Yuan expose himself so easily?
"I can't use the Dream Master techniques for now . Since he's a Netherheaven Demon God, he can probably sense the Dream Dao . In terms of breaking through the world's restrictions, I wonder if he's faster than my stats window . Of course, he doesn't know about my secret yet . He's probably hiding in a corner, recovering his cultivation now . It's my chance .
"Since I can't use the Dream Master techniques, I can only use this body to walk the local power system . Once my stats window is unlocked, my cultivation speed will be pretty fast .
"This world's power system… Cultivation? The Arcane? Mechas? Interstellar Warships?"
With the massive advancement in technology, the speed and scale of transmitting information had expanded to an unbelievable level .
Just by running through Lin Meng's memories, Fang Yuan learned quite a lot .
"Within the Human Alliance, the extraordinary paths that many follow is split into the Western and Eastern paths . The East prioritizes cultivation, while the West prioritizes the Arcane . With these two paths, there are countless branches . For instance, mechanics could work as support from the back . Meanwhile, mecha pilots work in the frontlines . There are even agents for infiltrating the enemy's backlines…
"The traditional path of cultivation has melded perfectly with modern technology to create a brilliant civilization… Interesting!"
