"Elder Pan, I think it's like this," Xia Xiang immediately said, abandoning her perfunctory expression.

"It might be related to the fact that I had superpowers first, or it might be because of my training at the Ten Thousand Feather Frost Cliff."

The years she spent cultivating on the Thousand-Foot Frost Cliff were a process of storing and consuming supernatural abilities.

At first, she could feel her superpower index decreasing continuously. In order to stop it from decreasing, she sealed her superpower.

However, after she reduces her power level to zero, her power will slowly increase again.

Through her numerous experiments, she found that if a person regains their powers after being sealed, they will break through the limits of the previous seal; however, if they are not sealed, their powers will slowly diminish.

These superpowers are like abilities she has stored up, which she can use at will.

However, the ideal level is 12,000. Maintaining this ability index will not put a burden on her body.

So, all these years, she didn't jump off the cliff because she was suicidal; she was constantly testing her limits. She didn't find the answer, so now she doesn't want to try anymore and just wants to go home.

"No," Elder Pan said directly, "You're not the first to cultivate like this; Huai'an is."

"Huh?" Xia Xiang only just realized that Huai An also cultivated in this way, so it's not surprising that he knows the superpowers of the Iron Dimension.

Could it be that he also came from the Iron Dimension? If so, they could be considered fellow townsmen.

“That might be related to the in-situ special ability within me,” Xia Xiang pondered for a moment. “However, the two forces are coexisting peacefully and don’t affect me much.”

"Hmm," Elder Pan nodded. "That's possible. Here's what you do: go back and rest first, then go to the lab to record your physical data. I'll let you know when the exam will be later."

Xia Xiang nodded and returned to the cabin, only to meet someone she never expected.

"Didn't you leave?" Xia Xiang looked at the tall man holding her pink elephant watering can and thought she might be seeing things.

"Did I say I was leaving?" Huai'an asked, one hand on his hip and the other watering the plants.

"How did you get a key to my house!" Xia Xiang asked, seeing the open door again.

"Xia Xiang, do I need to remind you whose family this originally belonged to!" Huai An was speechless, and a slight change in expression finally appeared on his usually calm face.

"You gave me the key, so this is my home," Xia Xiang said guiltily, clearly having realized what had happened.

"Since you've taken good care of my house, I won't kick you out today." Huai'an put down the kettle and turned to walk into the house.

Xia Xiang: I'm the one who should be chasing you away!

That evening, the shameless Huai'an even managed to freeload off Xia Xiang's dinner.

Over the years, she had become much thinner from hunger on Demon-Slaying Island. The immortal beings on Demon-Slaying Island, those with high cultivation levels, practiced abstinence from grains and only drank water, while those with low cultivation levels ate wild fruits and drank water, with absolutely no snacks or anything like that.

Although there are cafeterias, how can those unpalatable dishes be called food?

Her chubby round face is gone, replaced by an oval face. Heaven knows how much she loves her round face.

the next day

"Why are all these people unfamiliar faces?" Xia Xiang, who was relatively short, stood at the front, followed by rows of tall junior brothers.

Some of them were much older than Xia Xiang, but because they arrived several years later than her, they could only call her "Junior Sister Xia Xiang."

"You think it's all you?" Elder Pan was still angry about her previous attitude. He stroked his beard and said mercilessly, "All of your classmates from the same year took the exam two years ago."

"They've already left?" Xia Xiang suddenly regretted it. She should have known better than to be so melancholy. What was with this little kid pretending to be so profound!

"Pfft~" Someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but laugh.

I already found this short senior sister funny and cute, but now the way she talks is even cuter.

Elder Pan's lips twitched slightly. "Do you think they can finish the exams in a year? Even that brat Huai'an took three years to pass all the exams."

Xia Xiang was somewhat skeptical. Although she disliked Huai An, she was still aware of his abilities. He was so strong six years ago, how could it have taken him three years to pass the exam?

However, Elder Pan lacked morality and refused to share gossip with her, instead going directly onto the stage.

"You must be the senior sister who's three years ahead of us," one of the boys asked.

"What's it to you!" Xia Xiang glared at him fiercely.

Don't think that just because he covered his mouth when he laughed, she didn't know he was also involved in mocking her!

Junior brother: Senior sister, I'm naturally cheerful, and I have a low threshold for laughter...

"Alright," Elder Pan said, breaking the murmurs among the crowd. "The examiners are all here. Let's begin. First round: a group fight."

The group looked at each other, understanding each word individually but not the meaning when put together.

"Tch—" Xia Xiang scoffed, turned and charged into the crowd, knocking down two people with a single punch before they could be caught off guard, then followed up with a sweeping kick, sending the third and fourth to the ground.

The others quickly realized what was happening, exchanged glances, and rushed forward to gang up on the junior sister who was two heads shorter than them.

"Overestimating yourself," Xia Xiang said, twisting her wrist, and kicked the person who had just mocked her in the butt.

Elder Pan: Why does she have a feeling of Huai'an? Her head is starting to hurt!

A dozen minutes later

Only Xia Xiang remained standing.

"Elder Pan, these younger brothers aren't up to par. Let them go back and practice some more," Xia Xiang said with a mocking expression.

I was overjoyed. Hehe, a bunch of noobs, I wonder what kind of life I had when I climbed the cliff.
