“As long as you join our Mythology Academy, other than the guaranteed special-grade scholarship, we won’t restrict your freedom. We will give you an independent room and as long as you complete the course credit, you can do whatever you want in your free time. We won’t force you to go to the battlefield. You can move about unrestricted and can reject any illogical conscription from the other academies that force you to go to the battlefield.” Master Hai laughed.

　　Feng Lin instantly sank into contemplation.

　　On one hand, he would have free influx of contribution points, while on the other hand, he would have freedom.

　　Which should he choose?

　　Contribution points were the essential essence of transactions within the Great Wall University. As long as you had enough contribution points, you could trade for anything you wanted from the various students or the university’s treasure vault.

　　But after thinking about it, he came to a decision in his heart.

　　Contribution points could always be gained based on his abilities. But it was hard to obtain freedom.

　　Feng Lin was very clear that he possessed too many secrets and his path was unique to him alone. He needed independent space for him to grow.

　　From the start to the end, he was very clear about this point.

　　There was nothing in this world one could depend on. Everyone could only depend on themselves.

　　Under the stunned gazes of the other recruiters, Feng Lin smiled and spoke up, “I choose to join the Mythology Academy.”

　　Master Hai instantly revealed a smile; his eyes flashed with admiration as he stared at Feng Lin. “Wise choice. Although our Mythology Academy has the lowest authority in the Great Wall University, our foundations are the deepest. Only by joining us would you be able to maximize your potential. Vast amounts of mythology knowledge might be able to guide you further on your unique self-created path, maybe until the very end of the universe!”

　　Feng Lin smiled but didn’t reply. He understood that Master Hai’s words were just encouragement. He simply nodded in acknowledgment.

　　Cultivation was something that depended on oneself, talking about things like that was useless.

　　In the future, his path had to be walked by him alone, step by step.

　　“I hope you won’t regret your choice today.” Chi Tianjiao’s expression was unsightly. Despite him personally coming here to recruit Feng Lin, his attempt had failed. He cast a deep glance at Feng Lin before turning and leaving.

　　“Interesting. Obtaining so much freedom might not be a good thing. Do you want to depend on yourself solely to forge a mythological path? How difficult must that be? When your cultivation base increased to a higher level and if no seniors were guiding you, you would find it difficult to even advance an inch forward.” The middle-aged general maintained a smile on his face, but his tone clearly wasn’t as calm as his expression.

　　“Little brat, I initially thought that you would be a courageous man since you fought head-on against the Spirit Race. I didn’t expect that in the end, you actually chose such a weak academy like the Mythology Academy. What a pity!” The burly man shook his head and spoke. Clearly, he was very disappointed with Feng Lin’s choice.

　　Feng Lin was as calm as ever.

　　No choice in this world was really good or bad. There was only whether was the choice suitable or not.

　　He followed his original heart. Once he had decided, he wouldn’t regret it.

　　Upon seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, the middle-aged general and burly man had gloomy looks on their faces as they left.

　　Master Hai smiled as he sent a wall of information over. “This is some basic information about the university and where you would be staying. Now, you are already an official student. In ten days, the other exam candidates who were recruited by us in the trials would all arrive. At that time, the school would start. You best get yourself familiarized with the school environment during these days. Our university isn’t a peaceful place; the intensity of the competition here actually exceeds the other university. I hope you will be prepared.”

　　He summarized all the main points and told Feng Lin. He clearly held Feng Lin in very high regard.

　　“Yes.” Feng Lin nodded.

　　“You can call me dean for now. Well… actually, I’m just a vice dean.” Master Hai laughed. He placed his hands behind his back and departed.

　　Feng Lin stood at his original location and laughed mirthlessly before he left.

　　The Great Wall University was constructed from a combination of metallic fortresses built on fixed stars.

　　The majority of the star fortresses were military installations. Only a minority of them formed an area for education.

　　Students would stay in different areas depending on the academies they joined.

　　The Mythology Academy was located in the 3rd star fortress.

　　As for the military tribunal, it was located in the 1st fortress. That meant that for any activities in the university, the students must travel the interstellar distance between the fixed stars.

　　He sat in the interstellar orbiter which was the means of travel here. As he stared outwards through the transparent alloys of the orbiter’s walls, he could see numerous blazing fireballs floating in space; they radiated boundless light and heat.

　　The speed of the interstellar orbiter was extremely fast, and Feng Lin soon arrived at one of the star fortresses.

　　The atmosphere here wasn’t as solemn as the 1st fortress. There were many man-made environments to simulate nature in the 3rd fortress such as myriads of emerald green lakes and fields of lush grass. They exuded a sense of tranquility.

　　Feng Lin silently marveled. He then followed the information he had obtained from Master Hai and located his room.

　　Although Master Hai said this was a room, it was more apt to describe this as a small-scaled villa. It was filled with tip-top facilities for any purpose. Even better, everything was fully electronic and was controlled by the A.I.

　　“Welcome, young master Feng Lin. I’m A.I. AR-45, pleased to be of service for you!”

　　Feng Lin didn’t reply. The moment he entered he immediately closed his eyes to aid in his recovery.

　　Earlier, he had used the Stonebirth Transformation again to resist the Spirit Race’s attacks and the simulated universe environment. His internal injuries were serious!

　　He drank the remaining holy transcendent water which transformed into warm currents that flowed around his body and nourished every part of it.

　　Feng Lin’s muscles heaved up and down like the tides, as steam diffused from his body.

　　Pu~

　　He suddenly coughed out two mouthfuls of dark-colored blood. All of the clotted blood and fragments of his damaged internal organs were flushed out.

　　However, the exhausted qi and blood couldn’t be replenished so easily.

　　After some time, the potency of the medical strength completely healed his body, yet his genetic potential didn’t increase at all.

　　Feng Lin opened his eyes and began to contemplate.

　　After the tussle in space, his losses were just too heavy.

　　Not only were the various genetic potions and pills on him used up, but even his flying shuttle was damaged.

　　When he had been cultivating, one of the university staff had returned the interspatial ring of the Flowerfruit Mountain. According to the A.I.’s scan, the damage index actually reached 60%. If the damage sustained was slightly more, the flying shuttle would have crumbled apart.

　　Luckily, the flying shuttle came with a repair system. As long as the core hub wasn’t damaged, it could repair itself completely provided that it had sufficient materials.

　　All of these required star coins!

　　No, in the Great Wall University, what he needed was contribution points!

　　Feng Lin stood up and headed toward a giant skyscraper inside the fortress. This giant building actually had a thousand stories, and its tip touched the sky. Within the building, every inch of it was fully lit up. It was extremely conspicuous.

　　The Contributions Building!

　　This was the place in this star fortress where one could go to obtain their contribution points or exchange one’s contribution points for other goods!

　　“Welcome, freshman Feng Lin.” The door of the building automatically opened as a mechanical voice rang out.

　　Majestic, spacious, lofty…

　　The interior of the building was that of a spiral structure that continued upward. The light shone brightly; each ring-shaped corridor on each level had a dazzling lineup of treasures.

　　Spirit crystals, micro mecha armor, divine blood potions… all sorts of rare cultivation resources could be seen here. Naturally, all of these could only be exchanged with contribution points. Their prices varied according to how valuable they were.

　　Feng Lin didn’t know where to start when he saw all of this.

　　“Latest news regarding the Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking. Third-year student, Zhao Yue`e of the Great Wall University successfully topped the ranking at the adept level of the Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!” An imposing voice abruptly rang out within the Contributions Building.

　　Feng Lin lifted his head. He could see a giant board suspended in the air near the roof of the Contributions Building.

　　Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!
