Chapter 212: State of Mutual Hostility
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Star Wars.h.i.+p was the crystallization of humanity’s pinnacle science and technology. It was a large-scale aviation wars.h.i.+p whose size was comparable to an ordinary planet. Because its body was way too huge, it would often float in s.p.a.ce as it was unable to land on the planet.
This was akin to a mobile metallic castle that allowed various types of flying shuttles to enter and exit it. Countless people could survive in it, and it was like a mobile human base, resembling the aircraft carriers of the Ancient Earth Era. However, its size was countless times larger in comparison.
Feng Lin and the others sat before the large-scale Star Wars.h.i.+p and appeared as tiny as a little bug. They only stopped after they entered the Wars.h.i.+p.
“Come with me, let’s head in further. The exam candidates of the entire solar system would all be gathered there. Next, we will enter a wormhole for a spatial transition toward the location of the second round of examination…” A muscular expert clad in armor led the exam candidates further into the wars.h.i.+p.
The interior of the wars.h.i.+p was like a gigantic palace. There were already over ten thousand exam candidates standing in here.
Undoubtedly, these were all exam candidates from the entire solar system.
There were several with powerful auras, and Feng Lin actually discovered quite a few who didn’t seem to be any weaker than him!
Their vitality stats were all above 200, and they were elites among the elite cultivator realm without a doubt.
The solar system was so vast with a population of over 200 billion. It was pretty normal for a few monster-level geniuses to be born.
Feng Lin rose up too late, his acc.u.mulations weren’t enough and still couldn’t be considered a peak genius. At most, he could only be considered one of those higher-ranked ones.
The more this was so, the more excited he was.
For powerful people, they always needed powerful opponents so they could temper themselves and contrast themselves against each other.
He was on the Sun Wukong mythological path, and he had also experienced the essence of the Great Sage Will. He would keep on fighting in spite of all setbacks, exuding indomitable spirit and not regretting even if he had to die nine times. The stronger his opponent was, the more battle intent he would radiate.
The public square in the wars.h.i.+p was extremely vast, and the exam candidates of the solar system were all gathered here. Many of them had their own groups with clear segregation between each other. The atmosphere was filled with an air of enmity.
These were all geniuses from the solar system. Each of them was highly arrogant and wasn’t willing to admit that they were inferior to the others.
Let alone the fact that by partic.i.p.ating in the examination of the same university, all of them would naturally treat each other as opponents. It was impossible for any of them to be friendly with each other.
This was like placing a bunch of jackals, wolves, tigers, and panthers into a battlefield for wild beasts. Conflict would surely arise.
Due to the warning given by the armored warriors, they didn’t make a move against each other. However, the formless life force fluctuations from these people clashed directly in the air; none wanted to concede that they were inferior. The light rays started to twist as hostility filled the atmosphere.
The clash of auras was originally already in a state of fragile balance. But the humans on earth suddenly interfered and broke the balance, causing everyone present to view them with hostility.
The Earth was the mother planet of humanity, and those from it were originally already extremely conspicuous. These experts from the other planets of the solar system also wanted to see if the humans on Earth were anything special. Numerous life force fluctuations gushed over, wanting to teach these humans of Earth a lesson.
The expressions of the exam candidates from Earth drastically changed. They felt as though they had fallen into a pack of wild beasts with enemies surrounding them from all sides.
Only a scarce few people remained calm and composed.
They all summoned their vitality force and used it to contend against others. The entire s.p.a.ce trembled as the air distorted, forming waves that could be seen with the naked eyes.
Feng Lin stood in the midst of these people with a nonchalant look on his face.
He was silently observing these opponents.
The solar system was very vast and there were many regimes all around. There were Earth, Mars, Saturn, the asteroid belt…all sorts of complicated s.p.a.ce environments. As long as there were resources that could be used, that location would be converted into a place suitable for human habitation.
The environments were all different, and through the generations, this caused the appearances of the human race in that particular region to change.
For people of Saturn, the humans there lived on the rings around the planet. There were over thirty plus satellites and many minor asteroids there. Saturn’s size was about 100x larger than Earth. Their gravity was much greater too. Hence, for humans who stayed there, their bodies would be shorter in height, roughly only about 1.7 meters. And because of the Saturn’s Ring which blocked most of the sunlight, the people from Saturn were all paler compared to people living on other planets.
But one mustn’t underestimate people from Saturn because of this. The heavier gravity led to their muscles and bone structure being much denser compared to normal humans, granting them the increase in strength. The complex environment there could temper the base physique of humanity. There were many places where cultivators could train themselves in Saturn.
Hence, the cultivation standard in Saturn was the highest in the solar system.
As for those living on the asteroid belt, they were the complete opposite since the region where they stayed in was gravity-free. Humanity there could only reside in the s.p.a.ce stations and depend on mining the resources in the asteroid belt for a living. Their heights were extremely tall, around 2.2 meters on average regardless of gender.
The environments there usually lacked cultivation resources, and it was extremely arduous. This led to the cultivation standard there being the lowest.
Next, was Mars, followed by Earth. These ordinary planets could be considered to have an average level of cultivation standard.
…..
“Hmm?” Just when Feng Lin was silently observing everyone, a cold gaze filled with killing intent caused his hair to suddenly stand on its end.
His spirit force fluctuated as he instinctively glanced over in that direction. He could see a human clad in full armor glaring ruthlessly at him. The face of this person was masked, only revealing a pair of eyes filled with venom, staring at him with unmasked killing intent.
This man seemed to be a complete stranger to Feng Lin.
Feng Lin also wasn’t clear about this. Why would this person have such great hatred toward him?
Could it be a case of mistaken ident.i.ty?
Just when Feng Lin was feeling puzzled, that malicious-looking man breathed silently. His figure was concealed in darkness and seemed illusory; he was like a venomous snake silently waiting for an opportunity to strike, wanting to deal a deathblow to Feng Lin. He also gave off a gloomy and sinister aura.
A fluctuation caused the air to tremble as a cold voice rang out in Feng Lin’s mind, “Feng Lin, you are dead for sure this time around. I’m going to kill you!”
Mental transmission!
This man was able to use such an ability. It seemed like this mysterious person had also awakened a spirit/mental category gene.
In the midst of his puzzlement, Feng Lin received his answer. This malicious-looking guy actually knew him? In addition, the hatred he had for him also seemed to be extremely great.
Feng Lin felt that this was very strange. From the start of his cultivation, he had always been alone and independent, not relying on others. Only a small amount of people had interactions with him. What hatred did this guy have with him exactly? How much resentment did this guy feel? Why did it seem that this guy wanted to kill him at all cost?
Staring at the position this man was standing at, Feng Lin suddenly had a thought flashed through his mind. That was the direction of the Martians!
Could this person be a surviving sp.a.w.n of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company or someone from the Mars Revolutionary Army?
(If this is the case…)
Killing intent also rose in Feng Lin’s heart.
No matter who it was, as long as someone wanted to block his path, Feng Lin wouldn’t show any mercy.
Bang!
“Greetings, Marshal Jelos!” All of those armored warriors called out heavily in unison.
The sounds of footsteps rang out as a pair of leather boots stomped on the ground.
An impressive looking two-meter-tall man wearing the military uniform with the rank of Marshal walked imposingly over. His eyes were like an eagle, staring imperiously at everyone. He then spoke in a heavy voice, “The second round of examinations of the Cosmos University will commence now. As long as you guys pa.s.s this exam, you will have the qualifications to choose whether you want to join the Cosmos University or not via independent enrollment. Next, the location of the exam will be set on Asura Planet. The format of the exam would be a free-for-all slaughter. There are no rules nor limitations. For the person who can obtain the top score, he or she would become the king of the solar system among the younger generations!”
