"King of the Solar System?"
After the Marshal spoke, everyone in the area started to pant.
The faces of the geniuses of the solar system were all flushed red with excitement as their eyes flashed with the light of anticipation.
Independent enrollment could be considered only for the highest caliber of students. Which of these exam candidates weren't called supreme geniuses by others? If not, they wouldn't have the confidence and courage to apply for Cosmos University.
As long as they could get the top score in this second round of examinations, they would become the number one genius in the entire solar system, the king of solar system!
Who wouldn't want such a title?
These exam candidates, they were people who dominated countless others in the same generation during their growth process. They naturally had arrogance in their hearts and would give it their all, wanting to succeed.
Even Feng Lin felt a fire burning in his heart.
The strife of the Great Dao, it didn't allow one to back off.
If one missed an opportunity, who would know if that person wouldn't miss a second opportunity?
If one shied away from conflict and this led to them missing out opportunities after opportunities, even if they were a genius, they would also become trash eventually.
Only those with the courage to continue advancing would be able to sweep aside obstacles as they headed forth with great momentum.
All the exam candidates here were determined to win.
One couldn't help but say that this Marshal had many methods. Just some simple words from him caused the hearts of everyone to be fired up.
The hostility in the air grew even more intense.
Marshal Jelos continued to speak, "Next, we will be heading to Asura Planet. It is a place where the Southern Milky Way Galaxy deports death criminals. On the Asura Planet, there are countless biochemical monsters with extremely strong reproductive capabilities. After a period of time, those monsters would multiply in great numbers, and humanity would have to send people on a fixed and regular basis to clear the monsters. Just so nicely, the second round of examination would be that; your task would be to kill these biochemical monsters. And the more you kill, the higher your score will be. Let me give you a warning that there are so many terrifying death criminals there. These people can even survive such a hellish environment, and each of them is akin to an evil ghost that won't shy away from eating human flesh. These death criminals will also be your enemies. In their eyes, all of you are delicious food. Once you are discovered, it's highly likely they will gang up on you. Naturally, since there's no semblance of laws on Asura Planet, you guys can kill them as well and there won't be any punishment... In order to respect your privacy, there won't be any monitoring systems there. You can use whatever methods you want to. After hunting the biochemical beasts, remember to slice off the bone of their right thumb. At the end of the exam, according to the size and types of the monster thumbs you have from fighting different-graded monsters, you all will be awarded a different number of points."
The Marshal's speech was concise and comprehensive, informing them about the content and the dangers of the second round of examination.
After speaking up until here, he paused for a little before continuing profoundly, "But I still have to warn you guys about one point. During the examination, you are not allowed to directly kill those from the same race as you. If you are discovered, your qualifications would be stripped and you would be sent back to the solar system."
After hearing these words, the atmosphere turned silent.
Feng Lin had some understanding in his heart.
Although the words spoken by the Marshal seemed to be a warning for the good of everyone, the hidden meaning within actually spurred all the candidates to try their best and kill each other.
What did he mean when he said that they were not allowed to directly kill those from the same race?
Did it mean that indirectly killing them would be allowed?
...
The final result tabulation would depend on the number of monster thumb bones one managed to get. There were many ways to increase one's score. As long as one indirectly killed someone else, they would gain the monster thumb bones that person had. In any case, there were no monitoring systems set up in the exam's location.
Cold killing intent could be felt in the air.
The various exam candidates all had very high vitality stats. There were no fools here. In fact, the intelligence of the people here far surpassed the ordinary people, they could instantly see the key point and many of them started to smile coldly.
Their eyes were filled with a sinister light as they surveyed their opponents while different thoughts flashed through their minds.
"Asura Planet. Asura is an evil god in the legends, a being who killed countless. This location is truly apt." Feng Lin's heart was as cold as ice as he silently pondered.
He could already imagine that this second round of examination was going to be a bloodfest where one displayed their inner asura qualities. It seemed like it was about time for him to act.
If others truly had ill intent toward him, they best didn't blame him for not showing mercy.
A gentleman wouldn't find it hard to take revenge ten years later.
As for Feng Lin, he wouldn't rest until he took revenge no matter when the occasion would be!
...
"The Asura Planet is in a star region about 5, 000 light years away from the solar system. Even through wormhole traveling, we would still need three days. You guys can take a good rest until then. You all have three days of relaxation time left. Next, what is waiting for you all is an incomparably terrifying journey. I wish all of you good luck." Marshal Jelos laughed as he led the armored soldiers away.
Under the information provided by the warship's A. I. , Feng Lin and the others respectively went to their rooms to rest.
The interior of the warship was exceedingly vast. Every exam candidate was provided with a luxurious room of about 200 square meters in size. The room was also filled with various equipments, including a virtual cabin, a cultivation room, and a resting chamber...
Feng Lin then sat on the bed and started to cultivate. However, just after a short time had passed, his doorbell actually rang.
He frowned as he opened his eyes. Who would be looking for him?
After he opened the door, four strangers could be seen standing in front of his room. There were males and females in this group, and the person in the lead was a young man with a round face who had a harmless appearance.
"May I ask if you are Feng Lin? Are you interested to team up with us?" The round-faced young man smiled as he asked when Feng Lin was contemplating.
"Mhm?" Feng Lin felt puzzled.
"The second round of examination on Asura Planet is going to be extremely brutal. Only by grouping together will we have a chance of surviving! The other candidates have already formed their respective alliances. No one wanted the four of us in their group; hence, we decided to team up to aid each other and gain a better score. I noticed that you are alone too. How about it, do you want to join us? It will be much safer if we have more people." The round-faced young man stretched out his hand sincerely in invitation.
This bunch of leftovers, who could find no one to team up with, decided to group together in an alliance?
This man seemed to have good intentions, but Feng Lin's spirit force was extremely sensitive. He could sense that something was wrong. When the round-faced young man spoke, his heart sent out some strange fluctuations that were coated with cold hostility.
This round-faced young man appeared harmless, but in truth, he was a smiling tiger. There was no doubt that he was a ruthless character.
How would there be such a good thing in the world?
Feng Lin hadn't even displayed his strength yet, and these people wanted him in their alliance?
These people took the initiative to look for him, were they not afraid of him being a burden and causing the people of this alliance to die on Asura Planet?
They had good intentions?
Would good intentions really exist in an examination as cruel as this?
...
Feng Lin was long since used to being independent. He had always used the most pessimistic point of view as his considerations when he contemplated the happenings of the world.
In his perspective, the motives of these people weren't pure at all.
Feng Lin wasn't used to being in a group. Moreover, these people clearly came here bearing ill intents; there was no way he would agree to them.
"I apologize. I won't join any groups." Feng Lin rejected and he didn't even wait for these people to respond before directly closing his door, no longer bothering to talk to them.
When the round-faced young man saw that Feng Lin didn't give them any face at all, his eyes narrowed into slits as his smile changed from being warm and gentle into something extremely cold.
This time around, Feng Lin could sense the malicious intent extremely clearly. It felt like there were needles piercing his back.
From earlier that man from Mars, to this bunch of uninvited guests, Feng Lin could sense currents moving in the dark. Although he had always remained aloof and independent, not wanting to interact with others, it seemed that he wouldn't be left alone. On Asura Planet where the atmosphere was extremely brutal, he had to be extremely cautious.
Three days passed and the warship trembled as it was flying through space. The journey through the wormhole had already ended.
Feng Lin opened his eyes, and a gigantic planet shrouded in darkness appeared in his vision, floating lonelily in space, being covered with an air of deathly stillness.
They had arrived on Asura Planet!
