Chapter 369: Revenge Operation
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Time pa.s.sed by quickly and one month was over.
The brutal spartan training continued on as usual.
The instructor would put the freshmen through various brutal and inhuman training in form of different missions. However, each of these missions would challenge the limits of the human body. They were torn between ecstasy and turmoil.
There wasn’t a hint of potential left in them—they had all been exploited to the very last bit.
Tempering their bodies under the great pressure at the bottom of the sea, or such thing as walking in outer s.p.a.ce… The training came in many variations and the one that they went through the most was the hunt of various extraterrestrial races.
Each extraterrestrial race developed their own type of civilization that differed from each other; they had their own unique traits. They had all kinds of strange conditions: their living environment, their race’s abilities, and so on. The situations were extremely complicated.
In order to deal with them, it’d be courting death to be charging in recklessly. It was necessary to come up with an extremely detailed plan.
This was a test of the freshmen’s overall comprehensive capabilities. Each training would be like dancing on a steel wire, being abnormally dangerous. If they weren’t careful, the consequences would be dire.
Everyone was driven to an extreme every day, and they were exhausted.
However, they would have to rapidly recover by the second day and continue on with an even harsher training.
The days went on in the same manner.
Under the spartan training, those who didn’t have a strong will weren’t able to hang on.
There were no lack of people who were crying out in agony, wanting to give up.
However, under the instructor’s merciless las.h.i.+ng, they would still have to continue crawling forward even if they were on their knees.
The more one slacked, the worst they would become.
Feng Lin understood this on the very first day.
Although he had already become a grand cultivator, the amount of training he had to undergo also increased. It wasn’t any slacker than the past but became increasingly challenging instead.
However, with the Dragon-Tiger Exchange Fetus Pill and powerful will, he finally managed to hang on.
The ones who had done approximately the same training as him were only Donghuang Taichu and Augustus.
The three of them who were ranked at the top three had chased after each other, and unknowingly, had thrown the rest of the students far behind them.
At the sight of this, many freshmen understood that Feng Lin was already a grand cultivator like they were and no longer dared to look down on him. Even his vitality—the weakest aspect—had far surpa.s.sed them.
He had become stronger!
To date, the t.i.tle behind the strongest freshman was still his. Other than Donghuang Taichu and Augustus, no one else could move him from the spot.
After experiencing various training missions…
The number of points that Feng Lin, Donghuang Taichu, and Augustus acc.u.mulated kept on increasing.
Their rankings were as follows.
…
First Place: Feng Lin, Academic Points: 18,292 points…
Second Place: Donghuang Taichu, Academic Points: 13,450 points…
Third Place: Augustus, Academic Points: 11,220 points…
…
The academic points of the top three had exceeded the 10,000-point threshold, and Feng Lin’s points were getting close to 20,000 points.
However, he was dissatisfied with the fact that although he had a lead, the gap in their academic points didn’t widen but was slowly shrinking.
In the one month’ of spartan training, Feng Lin saw that the area he was the most lacking in was his foundation. It was too weak.
His period of cultivation was too short. Moreover, he had been focusing on only awakening his mythological genes and attaining breakthroughs.
He didn’t think of researching deeper into alchemy and the Gene Medicine Refinement Art, the subject which he had the most talent in. His grasp over other cultivation knowledge and technology were even more superficial!
s.p.a.ce shuttle control, firearm usage, mecha battles… These were the areas in which he was weak and he had almost zero knowledge over them.
After all, in the solar system, their cultivation and technologies were a far cry from the mainstream places in the interstellar s.p.a.ce. There wasn’t much that they could impart to him!
However, these were all things that one must learn in order to survive in the interstellar s.p.a.ce.
The environment in the universe was extremely complicated.
It would be too weak to rely on the powers of a single person alone.
Even if the Spiritual Stone Monkey was capable of transformations and had many tricks up its sleeves, it would be impossible to deal with all different situations.
Under some unique environments, technology would be able to unleash the greatest effect.
Feng Lin’s straitened circ.u.mstances were revealed. Thus, the results of the training weren’t too good!
However, things were different for Donghuang Taichu and Augustus. They were highborn and came from Interstellar Mythological Clans. They had started cultivating from a young age, receiving the most elite education in the interstellar s.p.a.ce and had acquired many skills. The gap between theirs and Feng Lin’s academic points kept on shrinking and they were even showing signs of surpa.s.sing him.
Despite so, Feng Lin still firmly seated at the top and they wouldn’t be able to surpa.s.s him for now.
Other than these two, the others weren’t even able to get close.
(I must build up my foundations as soon as possible!)
Feng Lin thought.
Right now, his cultivation base had already caught up with the top-notch batch. He wasn’t in as much of a rush as he had been previously.
Only by strengthening his foundations would he be able to move faster and steadier in the future.
He kept on absorbing new knowledge to fill up the blanks and devoting hard work in his cultivation every day. Even his attributes underwent a change.
=======
Name: Feng Lin
Vitality: 3,206
Heaven Gene: Monkey King Gene x2
Transcendent Gene: Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene x10; Beast King Gene x10; Minute-Knowledge Gene x6; Meditation Gene x5
…
Genetic Potential: 88
=======
The Monkey King Gene had increased by one point, and his Daoheart Gene was also on the verge of awakening.
After reaching the grand cultivator realm, without any support from pill medicine, although his cultivation speed became faster, the requirement for potential became higher as well!
Although the Dragon-Tiger Exchange Fetus Pill was good, he was starting to build some immunity to it after having taken it for so many times. The effect was no longer that strong anymore!
After an entire month, he only obtained 1,000 points in his genetic potential. The speed was far too slow and wasn’t sufficient at all.
He could only choose to keep on strengthening his main gene that was the Monkey King Gene.
Right now, the range of the Monkey King Domain had already expanded to have a radius of 6.5 meters. Both the range and prowess had increased tremendously.
With the continuous strengthening of the genetic points, the domain’s range and prowess would get increasingly stronger.
However, there wasn’t much hope for them to improve much during this short period of time.
He must find a faster cultivation method!
A pressing urgency rose in Feng Lin’s heart.
The last day of the month came!
Feng Lin was still in a deep slumber when the instructor’s alarm rang out from his ident.i.ty microchip. This was a signal to get everyone to gather.
Feng Lin turned and got up to his feet by reflex and rapidly headed to the training ground to gather. He noticed that the time was five hours earlier than usual. It was midnight.
The sky was still pitch-black.
The star fortress had already turned its back. It was night time for the Great Wall University.
Although there was a time difference, these candidates were all top-notch cultivators and naturally wouldn’t be too bothered by this bit of mental fatigue. However, they mumbled amongst themselves, wondering what tricks the instructor was up to this time around.
All of them wore strange expressions, feeling scared after recalling what they had been through.
Every time there was a change to the training plan, it would be a signal for an important training mission and thus they would be called for an emergency gathering.
At the thought of the spartan missions the instructor had a.s.signed them in the past, a chill ran down all of their spines.
Ba-thump ba-thump!
A series of heavy footsteps rang out.
Everyone’s eyes narrowed as they saw the instructor walking over in a set of battle armor which he had never worn in front of them before. His aura was emitting without any restraints and he seemed to be ready for action.
The instructor would be taking part in this training mission as well?
Everyone wasn’t pleasantly surprised but was shocked instead.
The instructor had always been watching from the sidelines in the previous trainings. Given that he was going to take part in it this time around, the mission should have an unprecedented level of difficulty!
The instructor’s gaze swept past everyone present, and his voice sounded like stifled thunder as he spoke up.
“Today, we’ll be going through a revenge operation! Hunting down spirit lifeforms!”
