“Feng Lin, you’re here!”

　　Feng Lin had just appeared in Earth High School when the principal received the news and went up to welcome him, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

　　To him, Feng Lin was a rare genius that was hard to find in Earth High School even in a hundred years. Whether or not Earth High School’s reputation could soar in this year’s interstellar college examinations would all depend on Feng Lin.

　　The principal had been fidgety these past few days. One month had passed and yet there was no sight of Feng Lin at all. He had been afraid that Feng Lin might have been bought over by some other high schools!

　　He knew very well that given Feng Lin’s current strength, he would be highly sought after no matter where he went!

　　It was only after seeing Feng Lin’s appearance that his mind was at ease, and he went up to welcome Feng Lin with an unprecedented passion.

　　“Principal!” Feng Lin nodded toward him calmly.

　　The principal walked over, but as he did so, his steps slowed down and his expression became that of surprise and bewilderment.

　　He was an elite cultivator and had extremely sharp senses. He could sense waves of heavy pressure coming from Feng Lin that made it hard to get close to him.

　　(For a student to be able to pressurize me with his vitality… Could it be that his vitality is stronger than mine?!)

　　(This is simply unbelievable!)

　　If it wasn’t because he knew Feng Lin very well, he would even suspect that someone else had impersonated this student!

　　Had he really attained a breakthrough to become an elite cultivator within a mere one month?

　　How on earth did he do that?

　　…

　　“You’ve attained a breakthrough again?” The principal looked spooked as if he had just seen a ghost.

　　Why did he use the word “again”?

　　Feng Lin had managed to achieve a tremendous breakthrough on several occasions, causing him to not be able to remain calm.

　　“That’s right!” Feng Lin nodded but didn’t say much.

　　His vitality had surpassed the 100 and reached 218. This was a tremendous breakthrough. However, he was just short of becoming an elite cultivator.

　　But then, it was also because of this that it was hard to explain.

　　He hadn’t become an elite cultivator, yet his vitality had broken through the limit of interstellar cultivators. This fact was something that involved Japan’s mythological secret realm, and he mustn’t reveal anything.

　　He had already found out about the matter concerning the disappearance of the Divine Pillar of Japan—that a confrontation had broken out between the two countries on Earth.

　　As the perpetrator behind this case, Feng Lin decided to lay low. Otherwise, if he were to get involved, it would be really troublesome.

　　With the impending college examinations, he really didn’t wish to get into any trouble.

　　Feng Lin did his best to keep his aura reserved, as if he was an ordinary person. Other than elite cultivators like the principal, no one would be able to find out about his true strength.

　　“Let’s go!” Seeing that Feng Lin wasn’t intending on explaining anything, the principal didn’t continue to ask.

　　Which interstellar cultivator didn’t have secrets of their own?

　　He already couldn’t wait and took the space shuttle together with Feng Lin to head to the Earth’s Cultivation Association.

　　A large-scale floating space shuttle stopped on the huge metal island. It had been waiting for a very long time.

　　A group of warriors dressed in battle armors, wearing helmets, and fully equipped were standing there!

　　The principal headed up to submit Feng Lin’s documents. The verifications were completed instantly.

　　“Quickly go in! Don’t make a ruckus or defy orders; otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences!…” That soldier didn’t beat around the bush and warned Feng Lin.

　　Feng Lin didn’t say anything and just entered quietly.

　　The Earth’s Cultivation Association was a large-scale cultivating organization for humans that had a monopoly in the universe. It was like a magnate and wasn’t something that a mere interstellar cultivator like himself could go up against.

　　Although the association was very domineering, they acted based on the fact and not on the people involved. When it was time to show weakness, then Feng Lin would just do it.

　　Given how big the interstellar space was, there were all kinds of strange existences.

　　However, every year, there would be several cases where candidates with a strong background would have conflicts with the association, wanting to use their noble identities. These people would eventually be exiled onto uninhabited islands, forbidden from taking the college examinations for life.

　　Feng Lin entered the space shuttle, and it was already full of people by now. There was a total of 100 of them, maybe more. Clearly, all of the candidates from Earth were all here.

　　Amongst the people in this space shuttle, no matter how confident they were, they couldn’t help but start to feel nervous. No one knew what would happen in the next test.

　　The second round of the trials was conducted for the entire solar system. There would be many strong experts, and the competition would be very intense.

　　They were considered the top-notch geniuses on Earth, but they wouldn’t be considered much when put in the solar system. Other than a few demonic existences who would stand out, most of them would need to rely on their luck if they wished to pass the tests.

　　This was a test that involved people’s destinies.

　　If they could make it past this stage, they would be like carps that leaped over the dragon gate, becoming actual dragons that roamed amongst the clouds.

　　If they couldn’t get past this test, they would plunge from great heights and become nobodies.

　　All interstellar cultivators yearned to rise to great heights, conquering the boundless universe, and reaching the very top to see the view from the pinnacle.

　　Everyone’s gaze was filled with anxiety and yearning.

　　Feng Lin sat silently amongst the crowd with a calm expression.

　　“Strength gives one confidence!”

　　He had the confidence that there were only a few people of his age in the solar system who were his match. Therefore, he was naturally not too worried.

　　Feng Lin started to observe the others leisurely. What he found strange was that he didn’t see Feng Li and Feng Jinpeng.

　　The two of them had clearly passed the first round of the tests, and the clan leader had even paid him a special visit, wanting him to help them pass the second round. Where did they go?

　　(What could have made them drop out from applying to the Cosmos Universities?)

　　(Could it be Feng Shaoyou?)

　　Feng Lin’s heart stirred. He felt that this was very possible.

　　That Feng Shaoyou came from the Interstellar Ancestral Clan and wanted to recruit members from the Feng Clan’s branch to strengthen his own influence.

　　Only the temptation of returning to the Interstellar Ancestral Clan would be able to let them give up on applying for the Cosmos Universities.

　　The competition for the Cosmos Universities was extremely brutal, and not everyone would be able to get in. Clearly, returning to the Interstellar Ancestral Clan was safer and would have better prospects in the long run.

　　However, Feng Lin didn’t think the same. He hoped that the two of them wouldn’t regret this decision in the future.

　　In the past, that Feng Shaoyou had given him immense pressure, but now, it wouldn’t be the same.

　　Even though the Interstellar Ancestral Clan had a powerful foundation, Feng Shaoyou’s vitality did not surpass 150. Therefore, he was clearly someone who wasn’t valued in the clan. It was obvious how Feng Li and Feng Jinpeng’s future developments would be when they followed him.

　　However, this was other people’s business. Feng Lin only gave it a little thought and then stopped. Unexpectedly, he saw Fuuma Taro and that Japanese goddess in the crowd.

　　Over 20 days had passed by and the two of them had recovered. It was just that their countenances still appeared a little pale.

　　Fuuma Taro’s eyes were like that of a vicious wolf as he scanned the crowd, wanting to see through everyone’s identities. He seemed to think that the person who had stolen the Divine Pillar of Japan was here.

　　Feng Lin smiled, not paying any heed. He sensed carefully and discovered that these geniuses from Earth were no longer able to give him much pressure. He wondered how the student experts in the solar system would be.

　　He started to feel some anticipation.

　　“All candidates be prepared, the space shuttle will be setting off.” A voice rang out and the space shuttle shook, taking off.

　　In the blink of an eye, it broke through the atmosphere and disappeared into the starry sky.

　　The principal stood at the top of the association, watching as the space shuttle left. He didn’t leave even after a very long time had passed.

　　(Feng Lin, you must get good results!)

　　He had put all of his hopes onto Feng Lin.

　　The space shuttle moved at lightning speed, spurting out particles and leaving long trailing flames behind it as it cut across the darkness of the starry sky.

　　Three hours passed by and a massive object appeared in front.

　　A huge metal sphere floated in space, supported by several hundred star warships. It was like a metal monster that was floating in the starry sky, as big as a planet and having space inside. This was clearly a Star Warship.
