Projected top scorer in the solar system?

　　Hearing how the marshall addressed him, Feng Lin wasn’t very surprised. Instead, he found it strange.

　　The top scorer was the top scorer!

　　Why was there still a “projected” at the front?

　　“The top scorer is the top scorer. Why is there a need for the word ‘projected’?” Feng Lin asked, being neither humble nor pushy.

　　The marshall smiled and said, “There’s a reason behind this! These examinations are the gateway of top-notch cosmos university in the interstellar space. Only the top-notch geniuses in each star region would dare to sign up for it. It wouldn’t be too much to call the person who came up first as the top scorer! But this is only temporary. In order to really become the top scorer of the whole solar system, you must first survive the enrolment examinations by the Cosmos Universities. Otherwise, everything would be useless.”

　　Hearing that, Feng Lin’s expression turned solemn. These words that sounded very indifferent were filled with fierce killing intent.

　　The official exam ranking came out; Feng Lin was first place, Donghuang Ling second place, Aris third place, and Yana fourth place…

　　The namelist for the top 100 candidates were also announced, and the rest of the people were all eliminated.

　　Only 100 out of over 10,000 candidates were left. This showed how intense the competition was.

　　“Although the rest of you have managed to survive Asura Planet’s brutal environment, you have been eliminated. The fortunate thing is that you’ve passed the Cosmos Universities’ second round of harsh test, so the Interstellar Universities would be very willing to accept you!” the marshall said and announced their destinies.

　　Having lost their opportunity to participate in the enrolment examinations for the greatest universities in the interstellar space, these people could only give up no matter how helpless they felt.

　　Thankfully, they still had the chance to apply for the Interstellar Universities. It wasn’t as if they left with nothing gained.

　　However, not everyone was willing to accept this.

　　“I can’t accept this!” A disharmonious, furious bellow rang out and Prince Hesello from the Heavenly King Planet walked out.

　　“Oh? What can’t you accept?” the marshall spoke in a low voice.

　　The Heavenly King Planet’s prince said viciously, “I had my eye on a large-scale mother nest for a while and wanted to eradicate it, but this guy secretly took advantage of the situation! This guy doesn’t have the right to be in the first place!”

　　Hesello spoke up, accusing Feng Lin.

　　He had been one of the rare geniuses in the Heavenly King Planet’s royal family and had gotten into a conflict with Feng Lin due to his feud with the two sisters. On the battlefield, his subordinates were massacred by the Ultimate Killer King and he was also seriously injured, unable to recover even after a very long time had passed. In the end, he didn’t manage to kill many aberrations and his score barely hit 1,000 points, thus being eliminated.

　　How could he possibly accept this?

　　The people on the Heavenly King Planet had placed high hopes on him. If he couldn’t even make it through the second round of the Cosmos Universities’ test, his status in the royal family would immediately drop, and he would even lose his position as the crown prince.

　　To fall into the dust from high up amongst the clouds. How could he possibly accept this?

　　“Marshall, I know that in order to prevent unqualified people from making up the numbers, the Cosmos Universities’ examinations have an elimination challenge system. The people who are eliminated can challenge those who rank in the top 100. If they are successful, they can take over the person’s position!” Hesello stared at Feng Lin coldly.

　　“So you want to do that!” The marshall spoke in a deep voice, “The elimination challenge system isn’t something that can be used easily. As a form of protection for the candidates who are ranked in the top 100, you, as the challenger, must be able to afford a price that can captivate the other party. Otherwise, they have the right to refuse!”

　　The examination system wasn’t something that could be played with easily. If a restriction wasn’t implemented and anyone could be eliminated, it would be possible to challenge other people without having to pay any price. Then wouldn’t the harsh and strict examinations turn out to be a joke?

　　“I agree!” However, Hesello clearly harbored great hatred toward Feng Lin, feeling that Feng Lin was the one who had caused him to be eliminated. Therefore, he agreed.

　　Seeing that, many examinees looked toward Feng Lin with strange glances.

　　This person was the top scorer but was challenged by an eliminated trash. Would he be able to tolerate this?

　　Would he accept the challenge or not?

　　Feng Lin threw a cold glance toward Hesello, not paying him any heed.

　　Only inferior people wouldn’t be envied by others, let alone the fact that he had clinched the top spot.

　　This person felt that he would take up the challenge just because it was dealt out? What a joke!

　　He didn’t even throw a glance toward Hesello.

　　“Hey bastard!” Seeing that Feng Lin had completely ignored him, Hesello gritted his teeth, feeling great hatred in his heart.

　　(Would you still be able to remain so arrogant when I pull you down from first place and get you eliminated later?)

　　“If you accept my challenge, I’ll bring out the most precious initial-grade mid-tier genetic martial art I have on me—the Pure Yang Sword Controlling Technique! How about it, do you dare to accept it?” Hesello wore a hideous grin and said.

　　“What?! Could this be the Flying Sword Art in Huaxia’s myths and legends?!”

　　“An initial-grade mid-tier genetic martial art! To think that he’s going to take out such a high-level martial art!”

　　“Feng Lin’s going to make a fortune!”

　　…

　　The crowd was taken by surprise, and their gazes were filled with envy and hatred when they looked toward Feng Lin.

　　To think that there was an idiot who would present such a treasure as a gift. Why weren’t they the ones to encounter such a good thing?

　　They didn’t think that a piece of trash who was eliminated would be able to win against this candidate who had taken the top position!

　　“I refuse!” An ice-cold voice rang out.

　　“What?! To think that he refused!” Everyone looked at Feng Lin who was wearing a cold expression. They found it unbelievable that he would miss out on this treasure that had been placed into his hands.

　　(Could it be that this guy got scared?)

　　The other examinees could not help but start to guess what happened, looking at Feng Lin with questioning gazes. They started to doubt that he had gotten first place through his own capabilities. Did he use some kind of cheating methods?

　　Feng Lin remained indifferent.

　　Faced with other people’s suspicions, he wasn’t swayed at all.

　　He wouldn’t lose anything regardless if people were to admire or humiliate him. Why would he need to care about them?

　　He wasn’t Long Aotian who would want to kill the other party’s family after just being scolded.

　　(Everyone were adults, so be more mature!)

　　Feng Lin didn’t even throw Hesello a glance and merely ignored his provocation.

　　Although the Pure Yang Sword Controlling Technique was an initial-grade mid-tier genetic martial art, it was extremely precious.

　　However, on the path of a cultivator, the most important thing was in proficiency and not amount.

　　Feng Lin took Sun Wukong Mythological Path and held the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel. Although the Pure Yang Sword Controlling Technique was a vicious killing technique in Huaxia’s myths and legends, he didn’t need it. It was of no attraction to him at all.

　　He had gone through great effort to become number one. Moreover, Hesello had already been eliminated, so what rights did he have to challenge him?

　　Feng Lin was a proud person and wouldn’t lower himself to accept this person’s challenge.

　　Seeing that Feng Lin paid him no heed at all, Hesello felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

　　(Do you want a challenge? The other party isn’t even going to give you an opportunity.)

　　Ignored. Completely ignored.

　　“You don’t dare?” A low bellow rang out from his throat. It was as if he were a wild beast that had been infuriated.

　　This was an intelligent move to prod the other party into taking action!

　　However…

　　Feng Lin paid him no heed at all.

　　“Good job, Feng Lin! This person has already become a mad dog. There’s no need to get into a tangle with him.” Unlike how the others were doubting Feng Lin, Yana had great praises for Feng Lin’s sensible move.

　　From the beginning to the end, Feng Lin had not said a word to Hesello. He had merely treated Hesello as air.

　　Hesello felt as if he had tried all means possible, only to become a clown.

　　“Bastard, you’re courting death!” His entire body shivered and he suddenly erupted into fury, completely losing all rationality. He let out an enraged bellow and made a move without giving any heads up.

　　“Ten Thousand Swords Converged into One!”

　　He called out a sword incantation and pointed his fingers. A small sword in his sleeves turned into white light and abruptly shot out. The white light kept moving and then split into many parts, turning into countless sharp glows. They came piercing from all directions, forming a massive sword formation, and threatening to slash Feng Lin up into many pieces.

　　Feng Lin glanced over with a gaze that was sharp as swords. He spoke up, “Who on earth gave you the courage to repeatedly challenge me?”

　　He put out one hand and it rapidly became bigger, turning into a big hand that was the size of a small mountain. It shone in a jade-like glow, and as he grabbed out fiercely, his hand encompassed the sky.

　　Crackle crackle!

　　The myriad of sword light was grabbed by Feng Lin and crushed.

　　Pffft!

　　The flying sword was destroyed and Hesello spurted out a mouthful of blood, falling back with a pale countenance and completely knocked out.

　　The surroundings were silent and everyone was full of wariness.

　　They had thought that Feng Lin didn’t dare to accept the battle. However, they didn’t expect that Feng Lin was just merely putting on a disguise that he was weak. The moment he made a move, it was earth-shaking.

　　Although Hesello was a piece of trash who was eliminated, to think that he wasn’t able to take even a single blow from Feng Lin…

　　Just how strong was Feng Lin?

　　His vitality was definitely at 500 points or higher!

　　They looked at Feng Lin with extremely wary gazes, not daring to view him in contempt anymore.

　　Right now, Feng Lin was already holding onto Hesello with one hand as if he was holding onto a dead chicken. He went up to the marshall and said, “Marshall, this person did a sneak attack and I have subdued him. How should we deal with him?”

　　“Just do as you wish! He’s just a piece of trash!” The marshall grinned and looked at Hesello with a gaze as if he was looking at trash.

　　Despite having launched a sneak attack, he wasn’t even able to take a single blow. Yet, he continued to keep on provoking the other party. There was no value in standing up for trash like him.

　　Right now, the marshall looked at Feng Lin with a gaze full of admiration.

　　As an examiner, who should he side with—a genius candidate or a trash candidate?

　　Any normal person would be able to make the right choice.

　　Hearing that, Feng Lin didn’t stand on ceremony and stripped Hesello completely, taking away all of his cultivation resources and treasures.

　　Everyone watched at the side but no one said anything.

　　These were Feng Lin’s spoils of war.

　　“Take him away!” The marshall appeared disgusted as he looked at Hesello who was as naked as boiled chicken. He got two soldiers to drag him away.

　　Thereafter, the eliminated examinees also dispersed, leaving only 100 candidates on the massive square.

　　The marshall walked up to the group and said in a deep bellow, “Next, you’ll be participating in the enrolment test for the Cosmos Universities. It’s also the most top-notch interstellar college examinations where geniuses across the entire interstellar space would gather. The solar system is the most secular region across the entire interstellar space, and people here have the worst cultivation level. If you don’t have any confidence, you can back out now. Otherwise, if you were to really participate in it, the competition would be extremely brutal. You might not be able to keep your life when you compete against experts in the interstellar space… Alright, who is going to back out?”

　　After the marshall asked that, no one else backed off. Every candidate wore a determined expression.

　　Having experienced so many dangers and reaching this stage with great difficulty, no one would be willing to back off.

　　The marshall scanned the surroundings and nodded. “Very good! Since no one has any regrets, then I’ll tell you about the situation. The examinations for the Cosmos Universities are the greatest event for all mankind in the universe. The most top-notch geniuses are selected and the entire process would be broadcasted live. You’ll need to go through many levels of selection, and each student would only have one chance. Once you fail, you’ll be completely eliminated. In order to become the true victors, strength, luck, intelligence… Every factor is essential. Therefore, this examination is also called the insane college examinations!…”
