Qiu Ye ran to the bathroom and checked, it was as she worried. She wasn't sure how she didn't notice earlier, but she was now feeling like there was something missing between her legs.

"So this is what Wrath meant when he said my body would be different."

Qiu Ye sighed and rubbed the ridge between her eye brows, the situation was a headache but she couldn't do anything about it. Her memories of this reality were already blending together with her pre-existing knowledge so it wasn't like she would have to rediscover how to live as a woman.

The only thing she was disappointed in was her bust, she was still young but even still it was saddening. No wonder she didn't realise her sex had changed. Qiu Ye's face didn't change much, she still looked oddly handsome. But her jawline was much less defined and her chin sharpened to a point. Her lips thinned and her cheek bones raised slightly.

Qiu Ye smiled at the mirror, while she wasn't super model level pretty she would still be quite the heart throb. The test period was coming in a few minutes so she washed her face and headed out.

The hall was packed with students, they all stood around waiting for the principal walk up on to the stage. Everyone wore a blue uniform, though about a quarter of the crowd had a different uniform. While most of the crowd wore a simple blue shirt with the school emblem printed in white on the back, the minority wore a deep navy vest over a white shirt with the school emblem on a pin on their left chest.

Those students were part of the noble families which supported the academy, if the uniform wasn't enough of a hint, the way they held themselves made it clear that they were children of major families. While Qiu Ye's family wasn't a major noble family, they were still relatively stable compared to the other commoners.

The principal walked onto the stage and started their speech, Qiu Ye knew it was going to be a while until the tests started so she only paid partial attention to what was being said. Her mind was focused on making sure the chance she was given by the 7 deities would not go to waste.

In her past life, she was weak and had to rely on others to fight. Her friends took her in and protected her, but Qiu Ye was still too weak to fight along side them. A few years later, New Moon City was attacked by a beast horde. The military was unable to take on the monsters and the city walls were quickly breached.

While the baron to duke level beasts were held back, several prince and a few king class beasts broke into the city. Qiu Ye could still hear the screams of people being torn apart effortlessly as she ran with her friends to escape the borders. Tears were in her eyes, the group she was running with diminished quickly. At the end all was left was Qiu Ye and her best friend Zhang Qing.

He clutched his stomach as he pushed her forward in the fields outside the city borders. Qiu Ye remembered Zhang Qing put his bloody hand on her shoulder and handed her his blessed holy spear before dying in her arms. It was that very spear which killed the Ancient Devil.

Qiu Ye clenched her hand into a tight fist, her finger nails dug into her palm. This time, she couldn't allow herself to be weak. She had to work herself to the bone and more importantly slightly distant herself from the people who helped her in her past life. They were strong enough to escape on their own but Qiu Ye dragged them down. This time would be different, she would never forgive herself if she started relying on others for strength again.

The test would reveal her fitness and spirit level and also show her elemental affinity. Following the test she would immediately get training, with all the different sutras and skills she learned through her past life, she would be able to handle all the other possible changes this reality had.

The principal had stopped talking and the students and faculty started clapping. Qiu Ye clapped along with them while looking around to assess her competitors. Even though all the students have already been accepted, the testing period would determine which students go to which class. But most of the time the nobles would be placed in elite classes regardless.

The principal walked off stage and a teacher walked up to the podium.

"The testing period will start now, it will allow us to understand each and every one of you and create a plan to reinforce your strengths and fix your flaws. As you should know, the testing is split into 3 main sections. First is the fitness test where you will do 10 tests measuring 10 different criteria of your fitness. Reflex, Strength, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Flexibility, Spring, Body Composition, Accuracy and Coordination. With each section having a maximum of ten points, your maximum fitness index is 100. This is the longer section of the three, the other two are much shorter. The second section is spirit and soul strength. You simply need to inject your soul realm into the basic crystal we will prepare, the number of spirit orbs which appear will determine the strength of your soul. The last test is very simple, many of you have probably conducted it at home already. Simply reinforce your hand with your soul force and place it into a container of water. Your elemental affinity will be determined through that. All deviants will have to do extra tests but there's no need to worry. I will now separate all you students into groups of 10 to conduct the tests efficiently."

The teacher began reading names and the crowd organised into groups along with the people they were named with. At the end there were 7 groups with a few of the groups having slightly more than 10 due to the absence of some students. Qiu Ye looked around, a few familiar faces appeared in the crowd.

The group Qiu Ye was placed into had 3 nobles and 8 commoners. The nobles chatted amongst themselves while the commoners glanced around nervously. Qiu Ye focused her hearing to eavesdrop on the nobles. They were usually informed ahead of time and Qiu Ye needed to prepare herself for any other possible changes the world may have. Knowing what tests were being done would allow her to more efficiently handle her stamina. At this point of her life, she has yet to learn any of the skills she had in her past life so she was still quite weak. Anything which could give her an advantage would be incredibly helpful if she wanted to get into an elite class and gain the benefits which came with it.

When the students were done organising, the teachers started escorting each group into different doors in the hall. A tall male teacher walked up to Qiu Ye's group and checked that all the proper students were there. He then told them to follow him into one of the doors on the left of the hall, directly below one of the 20 lanterns.

As they stepped through, they found themselves in a large field with different structures, there was no way such a large space would fit in the space between two doors. The students glanced around in awe, Qiu Ye focused on strategising. A screen floated in the air displaying the names of all the students. A few staff members pulled a machine into the middle of the field, it was a standard strength testing machine. It had one large red pad with a fist mark on it in, on the left side was a small handle with a brown cushion with a hand print on it and on the right was a larger and taller pad that looked like half a punching bag.

The teacher which escorted the group walked out in front of the machine.

"The first test will be the strength test, this machine is a standard strength testing machine used in the military. First we will measure your basic punch. For fairness sake, you are not allowed to use any external reinforcement, only basic strength from your body. Then is the grip test, same rules. Hold the handle as tightly as you can for 10 seconds, whatever is the average strength is what will be counted. And the kick measurement, you may kick with your shin or your foot it doesn't matter, do what ever you think is the strongest. You will get three tries with each test. Understood?"

All the students stood up straight and chanted

"Understood!"

The teacher started going down the name list, the nobles were noticeably much more competitive amongst themselves while the commoners were just focused on giving their all. After about an hour it was Qiu Ye's turn. She walked up to the machine.

Qiu ye shook up her shoulders and stretched her waist. She closed her eyes and imagined the muscle fibres in her shoulder and arm flex and tighten. She glanced around pretending to be nervous, the nobles were paying minimal attention and the commoners were staring intensely at the screen. The teacher gave her the nod to tell her she could start.

Qiu Ye put her left foot in front of the right and twisted her shoulder to face perpendicular from the machine. She took a deep breath and clenched the muscles in the right side of her body and swung it her fist into the pad. Her fist collided with the pad, pressing it into the machine. She looked up at the screen to see what she got. Even though her arms were quite thin, her shoulders were quite broad. She wasn't expecting to blow the test out of the park but still earn quite a high mark.

Her name climbed up the screen and stopping at 6th place, a score of 7/10. Two of the nobles got a 10/10 and the third got a 9/10. The top two commoners got a 8/10 and a 7/10 respectively. A 7/10 was alright and Qiu Ye didn't think she could do much better. She could tell her body wasn't very strong when she felt the force push back into her arm.

Qiu Ye looked at the teacher and gave a thumbs up and walked to the left side of the machine. She didn't have as much confidence on the grip strength test, looking at her thin forearm. Luckily Qiu Ye knew how to use her muscles to the maximum and could probably keep up her score of 7/10. She griped her hand around the cushion and squeezed tightly. After ten seconds, she looked up and noticed the score had slightly dropped to a 6/10. She sighed and once again gave the teacher a thumbs up as she felt her arm go slightly numb.

Qiu Ye then walked to the right side of the machine and slightly stepped back. She took a deep breath and built up power in her foot. This test, she had much more confidence in. As soon as she felt her leg start to tremble, she swung her entire body around and lifted her foot up. She straightened her foot to continue straight from her leg and smacked the cushion with the flat part of the top of her foot. A loud boom could be heard as the cushion pushed into the machine, a cloud of dust rose from the ground. The students nearby could see a deep foot print in the dirt.

Qiu Ye balanced herself and looked up, her name climbed up to 4th place with a score of 8/10. She was happy with the score, so she walked away. She shook her body and jumped up and down to loosen up the muscles. The nobles looked slightly surprised but didn't pay much attention, the commoners shook their head and waited for the test to be finished.

After Qiu Ye, only 2 more students came up. They did each test three times and Qiu Ye continued to be in 4th place, first amongst the commoners. The teacher told the students to relax for 15 minutes while the next test was prepared. The staff pulled away the machine and started setting up a cylinder looking mechanism as the students laid or sat in the grass.
