High School Student with Immortal Race System

June 9th, afternoon.

When Yang Shen walked out of the examination hall, exhausted, Yang Mo and Yang Man had already been waiting for a long time.

His two younger sisters, holding bouquets, swarmed him excitedly. "Brother, congratulations on finishing the college entrance exams!"

Yang Shen picked up his two sisters, one in each arm, and smiled. "Yeah... It’s over..."

Yang Mo noticed a scrape on her brother’s face. Her heart ached as she reached out with her fair, slender fingers to brush his cheek.

"Brother... you’re hurt..."

Yang Shen’s face flushed. He touched the so-called wound, which was really just a red, swollen spot.

"Uh... sort of..."

’The truth was, while I was wildly swinging the examiner around, I got a little too excited and a piece of loose gravel from the ground flew up and hit me... For my Marrow Refining physique to be reddened by a piece of gravel, it just went to show how exhilarating a fight the examiner was.’

Tao Ying walked over with a gentle smile and patted Yang Shen’s arm. "It’s all over, so you should get some good rest... Shen, is there anything you want to do?"

Normally, finishing the college entrance exams was a form of liberation. Teenagers, with a year of pent-up energy, were probably desperate to celebrate wildly.

But Yang Shen just set his two sisters down and began counting on his fingers. "The medicinal herbs I planted are ready to be shipped, and it’s a huge batch this time. Also, we need to start looking for a new place to move. There’s never enough time for that kind of thing, and we might not find a good house."

"Also, I probably won’t be able to get the other half of my endorsement fee from Jinkang Pharmacy, so I’ll need to ask Director Liang for help collecting the debt... Oh, and Yang Mo and the others have been talking about applying for independent admission to the top schools in the city district, so we need to get on that soon..."

’Those were the things I could talk about. What I couldn’t mention was the matter of the "large figure"—Long Jiu had been cooped up in that shabby hotel for over ten days and was probably about to grow mushrooms...’

One thing after another, the Yang Family’s march forward never stopped.

’Who has time to party? I just want to keep moving forward.’

Tao Ying covered her mouth and chuckled. "Alright... we’ll get it all done, one thing at a time, together. I’ve quit my job anyway."

That full-time job she once dreamed of could no longer keep up with the Yang Family’s progress.

In the future, when they moved to the Jianghuai City District, it would be impossible for her to commute back to Jinshui District for work.

In a way, Tao Ying had immense faith in her nephew. When he said he could get into Jiangti and that they had to move, she didn’t hesitate to quit her job.

The Yang Family was going to be very busy this summer.

Lei Lv handed Yang Shen his phone. Yang Shen glanced at it and, just as he’d expected, there was a message from Xu Bamboo.

It was just two words:

"Nailed it!"

Yang Shen smiled faintly and replied with two words of his own: "Same here!"

’I’ll get the details later. I’m very curious about Xu Bamboo’s plans now that the exam is over...’

As for the "Yang Family Army" group chat, it was also flooded with good news, though none of them were as confident as he was. They would have to wait for the scores to be released to know the actual results.

For now, they didn’t dare boast or celebrate prematurely.

But as for Yang Shen...

He’d already shoved the champagne bottle down the examiner’s throat.

"Let’s... go home."

Tao Ying said, "I ordered a cake. We’ll celebrate today, and also make up for Shen’s birthday!"

Xiaolei Yi threw his hands in the air. "Yay!! Cake!!"

The six of them set off, not lingering for a single moment... on the threshold that had once seemed so insurmountable.

Eagerly, they began a new Chapter...

Just now... as Yang Shen walked out of the examination hall.

A realization dawned on him...

His Life Chart... had finally changed...

——————

There was no time to get sentimental about the end of the exams; time always marches relentlessly forward.

Many people fantasize about how special life will be after the college entrance exams, but in reality, time keeps moving, and life goes on.

The imagined wildness, liberation, and melancholy... were soon washed away in the steady stream of daily life.

In the kitchen, Yang Shen was washing rice while his aunt stir-fried vegetables.

The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and the rhythmic CHOP-CHOP-CHOP of the knife became synonymous with their cheerful mood.

Originally, they had planned to eat out, but Yang Shen decided he’d rather stay home.

If they ate out, someone would be missing.

At dinner, a huge cake sat on the table. Yang Mo and Yang Man stood on their tiptoes, studding it with eighteen candles.

And the picture frame that usually hung on the wall now rested on a corner of the dining table.

His uncle’s face in the photo was pointed toward the cake, and in the flickering candlelight, even the memorial portrait seemed to hold a hint of warmth.

The Yang Family wasn’t the type to be overly sentimental. After his uncle’s death, they hadn’t burned incense daily like some older folks did.

But today was, after all, a special occasion.

The meal was simple. There was no shouting or ecstatic joy over good results; the Yang Family simply reminisced about the past.

For instance, their uncle had once privately told Tao Ying that he would be overjoyed if Yang Shen could just get into a junior college.

Tao Ying teased Yang Mo and Yang Man by bringing up their embarrassing childhood stories.

They also shared some amusing anecdotes about Lei Yiming’s past.

Everyone had prepared a birthday gift for Yang Shen. His aunt, Tao Ying, gave him a new phone—an expensive model specially made for Martial Artists.

It was the kind that was tough and durable enough to be used as a hidden weapon if thrown, and of course, its performance was excellent as well.

His aunt had bought it with her own savings, and Yang Shen treasured it dearly.

As for the four little ones, their allowance was limited, and it wouldn’t be right to encourage children to give extravagant gifts. A heartfelt token was enough.

Yang Mo and Yang Man gave him a cross-stitch piece depicting cartoon versions of the six of them.

Lei Lv took out a backpack, which he and Lei Yi had bought together with their combined allowance money.

Although it only cost 200 yuan, the two of them had still saved up for a month to buy it.

"Brother, I saw that your backpack was getting frayed at the edges. You can use this one for university."

Yang Shen accepted the gift with a smile.

’Very practical.’

After dinner, Yang Shen volunteered for dishwashing duty. He didn’t want to act like some revered ancestor just because the exams were over. Life went on, and chores still needed to be done.

After finishing, he wiped his hands and came out to find the four little ones sitting in a row watching TV. Tao Ying had just finished clearing the table and was hanging Yang Wen’s portrait back on the wall.

Hearing Yang Shen changing his shoes, Tao Ying turned and asked, "Aren’t you going to a party with your classmates? Like an all-night karaoke session?"

Yang Shen just smiled. "Maybe later."

In reality, he had already received countless invitations.

His social media apps were flooded with messages, but he hadn’t replied to a single one.

He had even postponed the "teacher appreciation banquet" his eight disciples wanted to throw for him.

Tao Ying asked, puzzled, "Then where are you going?"

Yang Shen pointed upward. "To cultivate."

Watching Yang Shen’s departing figure, Tao Ying’s mind suddenly superimposed another image over it.

It was the image of a much younger Yang Shen, hastily running off to play as soon as school was out.

Mischievous, lively...

Everything was going so well, and yet, looking at Yang Shen’s back, Tao Ying felt a pang of heartache...

Turning her head, Tao Ying gently wiped her late husband’s portrait and smiled softly.

"Look at you... you left so suddenly, and all the pressure fell onto Shen’s shoulders."

As she spoke, she lightly tapped her late husband’s cheek in the photo, as if she could still feel its past softness and warmth...

"Thankfully, he’s so exceptional..."

...

The familiar Celestial Platform, the familiar Spirit Field.

Only the temperature was growing increasingly muggy.

Since he began his Cultivation on the Celestial Platform, he had witnessed the changing of spring into summer; time truly flew.

Yang Shen sat cross-legged and silently opened the system.

His gaze moved down the long list, item by item.
