“Feng Lin, you came out!” Upon seeing Feng Lin’s figure, the headmaster instantly came over to welcome him. Seeing that Feng Lin was fine other than his clothing becoming tattered, the headmaster sighed with relief.

Although he didn’t know if Feng Lin passed the Cosmos University’s first round of examinations or not, everything was good as long as Feng Lin wasn’t injured. At most, even if he failed, he could still apply to enter the Interstellar Empire University.

This Feng Lin was the precious treasure of Earth High School. The headmaster naturally didn’t want him to be injured. He wanted Feng Lin to help the Earth High School fight for reputation and glory!

Seeing how concerned the headmaster was for him, although he knew the headmaster’s real intention, Feng Lin wouldn’t ignore him. Feng Lin nodded and calmly replied, “Yep, I passed the test.”

“It’s good that you passed.” The headmaster smiled and nodded. But a moment later, his eyes suddenly widened in shock; it felt like a thunderbolt went off in his mind. He then stuttered, “What... what did you say? Did you say you passed the test?”

Feng Lin was helpless, why would there be so many doubts just because he displayed his strength?

Ultimately, he was simply too weak in the past, and the impression he created was very difficult to destroy. He could only change the impressions of others about him step by step.

He nodded once more. “Yes!”

After hearing Feng Lin’s confirmation, this didn’t seem to be false. The headmaster excitedly trembled, what a surprise!

The majority of the geniuses were still in the midst of the test, but Feng Lin actually finished it so quickly. He initially thought Feng Lin was sent out because he was instantly defeated by an interstellar cultivator. He didn’t expect such a surprising answer from Feng Lin.

From the time he went in until now, not more than 10 minutes had passed. Did he already pass the exam? How terrifying was this?

Those interstellar cultivators were warriors who were tempered through blood and war. Their methods were extremely tyrannical, and their strengths would far surpass those on the same level.

The vast majority of students from high schools could all be likened to the flowers grown in a greenhouse. Their vitality stats might be high, and it was already considered very good if they could unleash 70% to 80% of their combat prowess. They would surely suffer a disadvantage if they were to fight against these warriors who had participated in battles of life and death.

Also. there were over 10,000 students that applied for the Cosmos University. Up until now, only four people had slaughtered their way out and passed the test.

Feng Lin was number five!

How strong was Feng Lin exactly?

To his astonishment, as a headmaster of a high school and an elite cultivator, he actually had no way to measure Feng Lin’s strength.

Although right now he was a realm higher than Feng Lin, his vitality stats had just barely broken through the 100 point mark. Also, his position was that of a civilian post and not a military one; thus, he wasn’t proficient in combat. Who knows maybe... he wasn’t even a match for his own student!

The headmaster felt more and more ashamed as he thought about it. He silently sighed.

“The latter waves of the lake would push the front waves to the shore while the front waves ‘die’...”

Feng Lin shook his head. He ignored the shock that the headmaster was feeling and silently observed the four others.

He discovered that these four people respectively came from different regions. There was a young man with flaxen-colored hair from the white race, and he had a stone sword strapped to his back. In this Interstellar Era, were there actually people using cold weapons? This caused Feng Lin to cast a few more glances at him.

As for the other three, one was a tall and skinny Indian, and the other was a young man with a face filled with pockmarks. It was unknown where this young man came from.

The final person was a Japanese wearing a black robe. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness and venom, staring at Feng Lin like a poisonous snake’s eyes. His gaze was filled with malicious intent.

When he was observing these people, these people were also observing him.

These people silently surveyed each other, and they could feel the threat they posed to each other. Their gazes were all extremely heavy.

Feng Lin silently nodded. The vitality stats of these four were all extremely high, and they also possessed unusual methods. None of them was inferior to him.

Although Earth had declined, there were two billion in terms of population. It was pretty normal that there would be some heaven-defying geniuses appearing. Clearly, it wasn’t him alone who had miraculous encounters. He made a mental note not to underestimate any opponent.

Feng Lin then took up a position.

Time slowly passed and more and more people came out. The vast majority had wounds all over their bodies and were clearly dispirited. These were evidently the failures.

Only a minority lifted their heads high and walked with their chests puffed out despite them panting with exhaustion. A look of pride could also be seen on their faces.

There was no need to think further; these people should be the students who had passed the test. They exuded a dauntless and intrepid aura.

Out of the 10,000 students who had applied to the Cosmos University, now, less than 100 remained.

The passing rate was less than 1%!

After those who had failed left, the great hall outside the Cultivation Association was emptied out. Those who had passed the test started to discuss excitedly with each other.

Upon passing the first round of examinations on Earth, the following round’s scope would encompass the entire solar system.

With a bunch of supreme geniuses gathering together, the competition would be even more intense. Only by working together, taking care of each other, would one have a higher probability of passing the next test.

Only Feng Lin and a few others kept their own council, standing to the side. They projected a clear aura that they wanted to remain alone and not mingle with the others, becoming lone wolves.

“Feng Lin, are you planning on fighting alone? Why don’t you interact with others and form good relationships so you can take care of each other? In this case, the future rounds of examination might become more relaxed for you.” Upon seeing Feng Lin not taking the initiative to form friendships at all, the headmaster was silently worried for him.

“More relaxed?” Feng Lin calmly smiled, not agreeing with the headmaster’s opinion.

Since he signed up to register for the Cosmos University’s examination, why would he still want things to be more relaxed?

The rate of enrollment for the ten universities was capped at 10,000 people despite the billions in population. The probability of being enrolled was extremely minuscule. In Feng Lin’s mind, those who had the mindset of wanting to relax during the examinations were merely courting their own deaths.

He thought things through very clearly. Although there were almost 100 people passing the first round of examination, at the very end, maybe not even one could enroll in the Cosmos University.

The solar system was a backward star region, and its standard of cultivation wasn’t considered high. In interstellar space, what about those developed star regions? Their geniuses would be truly the elites out of all cultivators. If one couldn’t even pass an examination which scope was merely limited to the solar system, how could they contend against those true geniuses?

Ultimately, he still had to depend on himself.

Maybe he could pass the second round by grouping up together. But what about after that? When only he alone remained, who could he depend on?

Although Feng Lin appreciated the headmaster’s good intentions, he had his ideas.

Only true weaklings needed to group up. Cultivation was destined to be a lonely journey, and being able to endure loneliness was an attribute many true experts had to have. Only by being strong independently could that strength last forever. Other methods were not worthy of a single mention.

Seeing that Feng Lin had decided his path, the headmaster shook his head and no longer tried to persuade him.

He knew that Feng Lin depended on himself to rise, and his unique perspective toward cultivation had already been fixed. It wasn’t something others could sway.

...

After a while, the students emerged one after another. Whether they had passed or failed, the first round of examination had already concluded!

That general walked over again and spoke in a loud and penetrating voice. “Congratulations to all of you. You all can defeat my valiant subordinates, seems like you guys are truly geniuses and not those useless bums who simply appeared strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Congratulations to all of you for obtaining the opportunity to participate in the next round.

“But don’t be happy too early. The solar system is very vast while Earth is very small. You guys are still insignificant when placed in the perspective of the entire solar system. I can reveal some info to you all that for the next round of examination, the format would be a free-for-all slaughter.

“Humans have countless enemies hidden in the dark of the universe. If you geniuses from the human race aren’t proficient in combat and slaughter, you would be no different from trash. The second round of exams will start a month later, prepare well! For the sake of your life, for the sake of your future, do not be careless! You must know that the second round is different from the first. All of you could die!”

His cold voice rang out with force and was akin to smashing a huge rock on the chests of those listening to it.
