Chapter 183: Who Agrees? Who Objects?
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“What on earth happened here?” The general led a group of fierce and capable-looking militants, and the surroundings immediately turned dead silent.
There was only Hattori Juuzo, whose mind had exploded, lying on the ground while grabbing onto his head and crying out agonizingly.
His gaze was like lightning. No one could look at him straight in the eyes.
Ma.s.sive vitality waves were like vast ocean suppressing the uprising violence. It died down completely, and everyone present was as quiet as cicadas were in winter, not even daring to breathe too loud.
Could this person be the legendary grand cultivator?
Feng Lin’s eyes contracted intensely. It felt as if his mind and spirit had been gripped by a pair of invisible hands, and no ripples could rise.
Just an interstellar cultivator wouldn’t be able to bring him such great pressure. Only the legendary elite cultivator or the grand cultivator above it—being two major realms higher—would be able to bring such a great frightening force.
There was no such amazing character on Earth!
Neither was there one in the solar system!
The limit of cultivation within the solar system was at the elite cultivator’s level. It was widely known that there weren’t sufficient cultivating resources to support people to reach the grand cultivator realm!
Other than the fact that this general was likely a grand cultivator, Feng Lin noticed that these militants were all at least of the level of interstellar cultivators. It was an army comprising purely of interstellar cultivators. This was something that was beyond imagination in the solar system!
Only the big countries in the interstellar s.p.a.ce would have such a capable troop!
Could it be that these people came from interstellar s.p.a.ce?
This was highly possible!
Feng Lin was in deep thought.
The Earth’s Cultivation a.s.sociation was a great organization whose influence had spread across the entire interstellar s.p.a.ce and of all humanity. Even this small part of Earth would have some kind of connection with the Interstellar Headquarters.
The tests for the Cosmos Universities were very strict. It seemed that the Earth’s Cultivation a.s.sociation had also spent quite a large amount of energy to host it.
“Is there no one who is going to speak up?” The general saw that no one dared to make a sound. His leather boots created plodding sounds that drummed on every heart in the area.
He walked straight toward Feng Lin and the j.a.panese students. “Since no one’s talking, then you guys can be the ones to speak up! Why did you create trouble at the examination ground?”
Princ.i.p.al Miyata Ryuosaku from Yamato High School, as an elite cultivator, instantly got out from the general’s vitality pressure and went to make a complaint first. “General, it was this candidate from the Earth High School who has no regard for the examination hall’s regulations and made a move first. He crippled the genius candidate, Hattori Juuzo, from our Yamato High School. You must stand up for us. This candidate has no regard for the rules and regulations and should be severely dealt with. He must be crippled of his cultivation and also chased out…”
He accused Feng Lin hysterically as if Feng Lin was an unpardonably wicked person. All the punishments he mentioned were all extremely vicious as well, wanting to cripple Feng Lin and having him driven out of the examination scene.
Feng Lin’s gaze turned completely cold as he felt that things were extremely bad.
This j.a.panese was really brutal. If he was allowed to continue twisting the truth, things would go really bad for him.
“Is that the case?” However, this general knew that the j.a.panese tended to be despicable by nature and didn’t fully believe in his words. Instead, the general’s gaze turned and an immense pressure encompa.s.sed Feng Lin’s heart. He wanted to interrogate Feng Lin’s heart, not allowing any form of concealment to slip from his observation.
Feng Lin took a deep breath and activated his Spirit Gene fully, strengthening his mind and breaking away from this astonis.h.i.+ng prowess on his spirit. He said, neither humble nor pushy, “General, this j.a.panese is twisting the facts completely! I didn’t do anything from the beginning until the end. It was the j.a.panese who made the first move and applied Mental Illusion Art on me. However, it’s a pity that he wasn’t very skilled in the technique and suffered from the backlash instead. Who can be blamed for this? As for what the truth is, there should be A.I. surveillance here. General will know what happened after taking a look.”
Since the j.a.panese were so vile and vicious, Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t stand on ceremony either. His words were like blades, piercing on the j.a.panese’s hearts and making them sound worthless.
Baka!
The j.a.panese were all cursing in their hearts, almost on the extent of stamping with rage.
However, since the general was talking to Feng Lin now, they didn’t dare to interrupt.
“Hmmm?” The general’s eyelids rose. He was taken by surprise to see Feng Lin’s finesse and composure.
He was a grand cultivator. And under his vitality pressure, only elite cultivators would be able to smile and talk like Feng Lin. However, the person facing him right now was merely an Interstellar cultivator, yet he could remain so calm. He had the conclusion that this person’s character was strong and firm enough.
Even without checking out the surveillance, the general had a good impression of Feng Lin and put a little more trust in his words.
He a.s.sessed Feng Lin and nodded. Next, he used his authority to open up the A.I. system to check out the surveillance records.
The j.a.panese group’s countenances changed drastically and felt that things weren’t exactly in their favor.
As the surveillance projection came out, the truth was revealed.
From this point of view, Yamato High School’s princ.i.p.al personally led their students to provoke Feng Lin and Princ.i.p.al Huang, but failed to put up a front and got reprimanded instead. Watching the playback of the surveillance system, the j.a.panese couldn’t help but reveal their twisted expressions.
Everyone threw them the nasty look.
These j.a.panese were really despicable. It was one thing to bully the weak since it was a dog-eat-dog world; this was the brutal rules of nature.
However, they were weak, yet they had challenged the strong which resulted in them getting slapped in the face. This was something that people looked down in any eras.
After the truth was revealed, the general’s gaze shot out coldly. The j.a.panese instantly felt as if they had been placed in an ice cavern. All of them were s.h.i.+vering and wearing horrified expressions as if facing heavenly pressure. They didn’t dare to resist at all.
Feng Lin watched at the side, smiling coldly.
These were how the j.a.panese were. Even after 10,000 years had pa.s.sed, their inferior nature didn’t change at all. They liked to bully the weak. But when they encountered the strong, they had no backbone at all. They were really shameless.
“This case ends here! Yamato High School, you guys are the first to start the provocation. Since you guys are the ones who are unskilled, it’s your just dessert to be crippled! If you wanted to create trouble, then I’ll chase you guys out.” The general let out a cold snort. He didn’t deal out any punishments but merely announced domineeringly that this case was now over.
The j.a.panese didn’t dare to resist and felt extremely aggrieved.
Feng Lin didn’t care about this at all. He didn’t suffer any harm but had crippled a candidate from the Yamato High School instead. He wasn’t on the losing end at all.
Since he was the one at the advantage, there wasn’t a need for him to be pushy and create trouble.
The most important thing at the moment was still the application test for the Cosmos Universities. He mustn’t hold up the important things just because of a moment of rashness.
After suppressing the conflict, the general walked up to everyone and announced loudly, “We’ll be starting the application test for the Cosmos Universities now! Although everyone stands on equal ground before the Cosmos Universities, and every school has an application quota, the more this is so, the more intense the compet.i.tion is. It far surpa.s.ses your imagination.
“Despite how big the universe is and how Cosmos Universities are top schools, there are only ten of them. Moreover, each school only takes in about 10,000 people. This means that there are only a total of 100,000 vacancies. Although this may sound like a lot, across the countless candidates in the entire interstellar s.p.a.ce, the chances of getting in are one out of 100 billion.
“The chances are extremely slim, and one would need to go through levels of selection. The first round of selection is on Earth, the second is across the entire solar system, and only those who emerge victorious at the very end would be able to walk out into the universe, competing against all sorts of geniuses from Interstellar Empires. The final quota…”
His voice was low and strong, knocking into everyone’s heart.
All the students drew back their smiles and were wearing extremely solemn expressions now. Even though they were considered geniuses on Earth, they were nothing in the solar system, let alone the universe.
There would always be stronger people out there.
The universe was too big and if one didn’t explore it, they would never be able to imagine how strong their opponents could be.
Feng Lin clenched his fists tightly, and there were scorching flames in his eyes.
To think that there were so many tiers to Cosmos University’s examination. It was a grand banquet that involved the entire universe, gathering young geniuses from all corners of the interstellar s.p.a.ce. What a magnificent sight would it be?
Just the thought of it would make one feel excited!
“Your first test on Earth is to battle against these subordinates of mine. Each of my subordinates is an extremely capable warrior. Each of them is an interstellar cultivator with the vitality of at least 70. They will be your opponents. Only by defeating them will you be able to prove that your strength can earn you the right to apply for the Cosmos Universities, to pa.s.s the first round of the tests. Otherwise, you’d be incompetent. how could you dream of competing against those great talents in the universe when you can’t even win against my subordinates?”
The candidates were taken by surprise.
Interstellar cultivators with a vitality of over 70 were usually extraordinary. They had been through ma.s.sacres in battlefields and their battle prowess far surpa.s.sed that of ordinary cultivators.
Meanwhile, these highschoolers were just students and didn’t feel confident to fight against these hot-blooded warriors. Before the fight even started, they already felt fearful and cowardly.
Feng Lin entered the crowd, concealing his strength while he secretly observed these interstellar cultivators.
All of them wore uniforms and had slender figures. Their muscles were evenly distributed and strong, allowing them to be agile yet not lose their strength or explosive prowess. They emitted a faint ferocious air and didn’t look easy to deal with.
These warriors had experienced ma.s.sacres in countless battlefields. How strong were they actually?
He would find out after testing them out!
A hint of antic.i.p.ation rose in Feng Lin’s heart.
The other candidates appeared very anxious. However, the general was swift and decisive. He didn’t give them any time to react and spoke up in a deep voice again.
His gaze was cold as he stared at everyone present. No one dared to make a sound.
“This is the first round of tests for the application to the Cosmos Universities. After hearing this… who approves? Who objects?”
