"Who are you two?" Feng Lin stared at the two young women. He had a heavy expression when he asked. His tone was like ice; his heart wasn't moved by their beauty at all.
The fierce-looking young woman didn't reply. Her body bent like an arched bow as a baleful aura erupted from her. She was staring warily at Feng Lin.
It was like as long as Feng Lin made any unusual actions, she would instantly lunge over and tear him to pieces.
"Mhm?" Feng Lin's expression grew even heavier. This fierce-looking young woman actually caused him to feel intense pressure. This was unprecedented, causing him to feel shock and trepidation.
He couldn't help but seriously survey these two who had just arrived.
The young woman had bronze-colored skin, her physique was muscular and athletic but not unattractively so, and her life force fluctuations were truly shocking. She was clearly an elite cultivator and wasn't one who had just broken through. Her vitality stat far surpassed 100 points and might even surpass the 200 point mark, making her stronger than Feng Lin. If not, Feng Lin wouldn't have felt such pressure from her.
She had heroic features and resembled a greek sculpture. A slight childish look could still be seen from her face; she shouldn't be very old yet, but her full twin peaks at her chest could only be described as weapons of mass destruction. Even Feng Lin couldn't control himself and sneaked a few glances there.
In her arms, there was another young woman who seemed extremely soft and delicate. This young woman was beautiful, but her countenance was pale white as though she was suffering from an illness. She looked like an extremely fragile porcelain doll.
However, one absolutely should not judge a person by their appearance!
There were absolutely no weaklings among those who could pass the first round of examinations of Cosmos University and decisively come here to participate in the second round.
When she discovered where Feng Lin was glancing at, the fierce-looking young woman's eyes widened. Two little eye teeth appeared as she growled, akin to a female tiger. The baleful aura radiating from her was extremely clear.
Her icy hostility wasn't fake as Feng Lin could feel her gaze pricking him like a needle. In return, his eyes also turned cold as he matched her gaze. They stood in confrontation, their auras clashing with each other. The atmosphere grew increasingly heavier like they would erupt in conflict at any moment.
"Are you guys together with the Pure-blooded Aryans Society?" Feng Lin gripped his metal cudgel as he asked.
The fierce-looking young woman radiated hostility."You are a murderer, why should we tell you?"
When Feng Lin heard that, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Cough, cough, cough...
That delicate young woman actually started coughing, causing the tension in the air to fade slightly."Younger sister, don't stir up trouble."
After that, she turned and gently spoke to Feng Lin, "We didn't intentionally mean to startle you. We only came here to get some water and will leave immediately after we are done."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Feng Lin's heavy expression also lightened somewhat.
After all, if these two were truly from the Pure-blooded Aryans Society, they wouldn't have watched neutrally at the side and would have long since launched a sneak attack against him earlier. Why would they need to wait until now?
He was about 80% to 90% sure that these two were also exam candidates and they came here coincidentally.
"You shouldn't poke your nose into my business." Feng Lin cast a deep glance at them before turning around and departing the area. He didn't mince his words at all, and his heart didn't soften even after seeing two beautiful young women like them.
"You..." The fierce-looking young woman frowned as anger surged in her heart. However, she was stopped by the delicate young woman before she could act. Unhappiness instantly filled her heart."Elder sis, what are you doing? That man is a murderer, and he is even acting so arrogantly. If I don't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth."
The delicate-looking girl shook her head."Younger sister, you should change your brash temperament. We came here to take the exam and not to stir up trouble. What does the person's grudge with others has got to do with us? He is also someone extremely ruthless, shattering all their bones. Given the vitality of interstellar cultivators, they wouldn't die so fast. Now, their fates are sealed; they wouldn't be able to obtain any opportunities here on the Asura Planet and can only wait for death, becoming food for the aberrations and death criminals, truly a life worse than death. Yet, despite knowing so, he still chose to do this so he wouldn't be considered to have broken the rules of the examination. There's no need for us to have a conflict with him. It would only bring endless trouble as the gains don't make up for the losses."
"What are we afraid of?" The fierce-looking young woman didn't agree."That irresponsible smelly father of ours said that given my current strength, in the entire solar system, there are not more than ten people who can be a match for me. Only true geniuses from the universe can fight against me. I don't believe that little brat is so capable!"
The delicate young woman's expression turned solemn."You cannot have such a thinking. Those who can become interstellar cultivators would surely have aces up their sleeves, and there are all sorts of genetic abilities out there. That man might not be your opponent now, but what if he chose to escape decisively and came back for revenge in the future? There would only be endless trouble!"
Upon seeing her elder sister getting angry, that fierce-looking young woman simply curled her lips but didn't dare to say anything else.
With regards to the bickering between the two sisters, Feng Lin didn't care about them at all.
This lake was the only water source in 100 kilometers, so the other exam candidates would find this place sooner or later. It wasn't a good idea to stay here for too long.
Feng Lin took all the items from the Pure-blooded Aryans Society's members. Sadly, one wasn't able to bring too many things with them when taking this second round of examinations. Other than some water capsules, he didn't obtain anything else.
In addition to his own inventory, he now had a total of twenty water capsules. These were all water contained in an extremely condensed form. There was enough water to last him for twenty days.
Truly, one wouldn't be able to become rich without a windfall!
Feng Lin nodded, these members from the Pure-blood Aryans Society were truly good people. They had already solved the most pressing needs for him.
Next, he could set his heart at ease and hunt those biochemical monsters.
After his earlier encounter, it was already noon. The temperature was now a scorching 80 degrees and the air was visibly evaporating, extremely tough to endure. Even Feng Lin found it unbearable.
Feng Lin left with great speed. He was preparing to find a place to hide from the heat of the midday sun first.
He moved in the direction of the mountain range, leaving behind the pair of sisters whom he had met earlier.
The mountains here were connected. Their difference in heights made their peaks appear like waves when viewed from afar. Also, they naturally provided shade from the merciless sun.
Feng Lin entered deep into the valley. But the deeper he ventured, the more uneasy he felt. Silence was everywhere; the atmosphere was deathly still. Something felt wrong to his senses.
Countless bones with all sorts of shapes and sizes were buried inside the mud. Bones belonging to humans, to monsters, and some unknown creatures could be seen scattered around this mountain range.
"Help! I'm an exam candidate for the Cosmos University, is there anyone who can save me? I will reward you heavily!" A voice filled with despair drifted over from afar.
A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin's lips. He didn't say anything and simply turned around, speeding away in a different direction, completely ignoring the voice asking for help.
"Boss, that brat wasn't fooled." In the shade of a certain mountain valley, around thirty figures walked out. They were half-naked and had clothes made of fur draped around their bodies. Tattoos of wild beasts could be seen all over their bodies like a primordial totem they prayed to. They resembled primitive humans.
Their eyes flashed with fierceness as they stared at the departing back of Feng Lin. Their scarlet tongues licked their lips as though they were looking at some delicious food and couldn't endure their hunger.
The man in the lead was a muscular man wearing a helmet. He was about three meters tall and radiated a ferocious aura. He spoke in a heavy voice, "Let him go."
"Boss, he will be extremely delicious to eat. It has been a long time since we feasted on cultivators, how can we allow him to escape?" Those people were puzzled.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Every batch of exam candidates would total roughly about 10, 000 people. Is there a need to expose ourselves just to capture one?" spoke the boss in a heavy voice."I can tell that the brat is a ruthless character just from looking at him. He can kill without blinking and there's also the fact that he left behind many crippled humans earlier. Are those crippled humans not already food for us? Why is there a need to tangle with such a troublesome fellow? If we caused too great of a commotion, the other exam candidates would be even warier, and it would be harder for us to prey on them. The benefits don't make up for the losses!"
"Boss, you are right!" The others laughed malevolently after they heard that.
Feng Lin maintained his speed. He only slowed down after he discovered that those criminals didn't chase after him. Hence, there was no need for him to exhaust his physical strength.
Who would be tricked by such a low-level scheme?
He was very clear that there weren't simply those biochemical aberrations and exam candidates on the Asura Planet. There were also criminals on death row who had been deported here. Those criminals were all devils among humans, and this might have been a trap they had set.
It was impossible for him to be so foolish to walk into a trap he could see from a mile away.
Everything was good if one minded their own business!
As long as these death criminals didn't come and find trouble for him, Feng Lin naturally wouldn't go and antagonize them. He was fine if things remained neutral between them.
He found a remote cave and entered it to hide from the hellish heat. Meanwhile, he started to cultivate.
Genetic potential +18%, +18%, +18%... continuously rising!
All of a sudden, a roar of anger rang out from outside the cave, shocking him awake. His spirit force gushed forth as he discovered that the two young women he had met earlier were currently fighting against a group of death row criminals. The two young women were heavily surrounded and in an extremely dangerous situation.
Feng Lin closed his eyes again as if nothing had happened.
(A hero saving a damsel in distress?)
(Such a thing doesn't exist in the real world!)
