Strong! Huaxia!

Nine planets connected like a chain of pearls.

A formless and immaterial light was restrained by an unknown prowess of the universe, turning into a chain and connecting the planets. The structure of a pyramid was presented and could be called a great work of art.

The eyes of the solar system’s candidates kept on widening uncontrollably. They were extremely astonished.

The interstellar space was far too big. There were over 400 million stars alone in the galaxy and the Sun was merely one of them.

In the vast universe, the solar system was merely like a drop of water in the ocean. It was the most secular corner in the interstellar space.

The great distances in the universe resulted in both information and technology to fall behind greatly in the secular solar system.

Upon seeing this miracle in the universe, everyone was taken by great astonishment from the bottom of their hearts.

“Welcome to the Starry Space Golden Pyramid!” The marshall walked over with fervent in his eyes.

“This is our destination. All the genius candidates in the entire interstellar space were gathered here. They then set off to enter the examination hall respectively. Our arrival timing is just right. The examination will be starting very soon! Stand in order, the Star Warship will be landing shortly!”

The moment the marshall said this, the Star Warship let out a trembling sound and gradually headed for the planet that was at the highest point of the Starry Space Golden Pagoda.

The closer they got, the more everyone could witness how majestic the pyramid that was formed from the connection of nine planets was.

The entire galaxy had been artificially modified.

What were the strong powers of heaven and earth?

This was it!

The more Feng Lin looked at it, the stronger the fervent in his gaze. What kind of power did it take to achieve this?

Was it technology? Or cultivation?

Right now, as the warship got closer, Feng Lin and the others noticed that there were also other spaceships coming from all directions. They were of varying shapes and had come from every corner of the universe.

The Cosmos Universities were the greatest universities amongst all. The college examinations held each year was also a great event for all of humanity. All the young geniuses across the universe were gathered and competing with each other. This was where the essence of all mankind was at.

With a rumble, the warship broke through the atmospheric layer and a green planet appeared before them.

The doors to the warship opened and fresh air blew in, causing them to feel very refreshed.

There was a cooling aura permeating the air, opening up one’s pores, and making their genetic power more active.

Spiritual qi of heaven and earth!

These examinees knew their stuff and were all taken by astonishment.

It was a phenomenon where spiritual qi of heaven and earth was highly active and present in large amounts, being omnipresent like air.

In ancient times, the solar system was also once filled with spiritual qi of heaven and earth. However, as the civilizations of myths and legends got cut off, it entered a period of degeneration, and the spiritual qi had completely dried up.

Coming from the solar system to this planet with ample spiritual qi, it was as if they had come from a desert to an oasis. They felt completely relaxed, with all their pores opening up as they crazily engulfed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

Each and every candidate was emitting strong qi and their vitality surged explosively.

Just this short moment of engulfing spiritual qi of heaven and earth had caused their vitality to increase by at least 10 points.

Feng Lin’s vitality had also surged explosively by 18 points.

Boom!

A series of sounds that were like mountains howling or the seas bellowing rang out, surrounding everyone like tidal waves.

“Welcome to live broadcast for the Cosmos Universities’ college examinations for A.C Year 9992, (Astronomic Calendar). Every year, countless legends and legendary characters would be born here. Some people gained everything here, including the gaze of everyone in the interstellar space. Some people gained nothing here, leaving in a pathetic state… One college examination determines a person’s destiny to see if they would be soaring up into the sky and stand at the very top of the starry sky, or to leave quietly, plunging to the dust at the bottom of the valley…”

Feng Lin looked over in the direction where the sound came from. The Star Warship stopped outside an open-air palace that was like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. It was over 3,000 meters tall and was like a heavenly pillar that pierced straight for the heavens. Interstellar humans wearing different clothes were seated around, and the scene was really majestic. There were several million spectators, and it was even grander than the Olympics held in ancient Earth.

There were all sorts of flying devices in the air that were broadcasting the situation live.

“Now let us welcome the examinees from the various countries and star regions in the interstellar space! The first to enter is Huaxia Star Republic’s 100,000 examinees!”

Enthusiastic cries rang out in the air.

Roar!

A series of dragon roar reverberated through the sky.

The clouds seethed and a rainbow-colored dragon broke out through the clouds. It had eagle eyes, prawn’s whiskers, and snake’s body—a pure Huaxia dragon with scales that reflected a metallic glow. Clearly, this was a dragon-shaped space shuttle and its long body wriggled around in the air, as if it was alive.

The dragon came down from the sky, opening its big mouth and stretching out its long tongue as if they were stairs.

“Magnificent Huaxia, started under the lead of King Wu of Zhou [1] and King Tang of Shang [2].

Discussing politics with officials, seeking their opinions to resolve issues peacefully.

Caring for the people, with everyone in submission.

The world was unified with people, with everyone in support of the King’s rule.

The phoenixes cried happily amongst the bamboo forest, and the white steeds ate grass leisurely in the green plains.

The changes brought by great kings covered every single grass and tree in nature. The favors bestowed from the kings benefitted all citizens.”

The cadence of Huaxia’s ancient verse was read out in harmony. The voices penetrated through the sky and resonated for very long.

Boom boom boom!

The earth trembled, and the many footsteps sounded as if they were from one person. A group of examinees who seemed as strong as military soldiers stepped out from the dragon-shaped space shuttle. They wore golden and red uniforms, having black hair and eyes as well as yellow skin.

These Huaxia examinees all held their heads high and chests puffed out. They wore determined gazes, emitting pride and confidence from their bones.

In the Interstellar Era, the Huaxia Star Republic stood at the very top of the universe. It was the strongest country in the interstellar space and was also a strong pillar in mankind’s fight against extraterrestrial races.

Such powerful spirits, essences, and souls radiated their confidence. They were completely different from the people in Feng Lin’s previous lives who idolized and were crazy over foreign trends. They resembled the soldier of the Han dynasty in ancient Huaxia.

Their confidence came from their bones, and their spirit of constantly striving to better themselves came from their souls!

They were like dragons.

Huaxia was the descendant of dragons!

Everyone from Huaxia had a dragon air to them!

100,000 candidates entered the place uniformly with valiance and great spirit. They were like a majestic army, waiting to be inspected.

Pa pa pa!

Thunderous applause and stomps rang out, resounding incessantly.

“These are the candidates from the Huaxia Star Republic? Their disposition is too astonishing!”

“As expected of the greatest country in the interstellar space!”

“They are really amazing!”

The spectators broke into a commotion.

The comments displayed on the star network’s live broadcast were like a waterfall, covering up the entire screen.

“Strong, Huaxia!”

“Long live Huaxia!”

“Long live +1!”

“Long live +2!”

“Long live +100000000000000000000000086!”

When Feng Lin witnessed this majestic scene, a warmth which he hadn’t felt for quite a while started to surge in his cold heart.

Strong!

Huaxia!

As Huaxia’s candidates walked over in long strides, the applause continued on.

The voice that resonated through the skies rang out once again.

“Next, let us welcome the 10,000 examinees from Soviet Russia!”

Wula! Wula! Wula!

Like the tiger’s roar, like the bear’s howl!

The land started to tremor incessantly.

Many heads were raised high toward the sky, appearing unbridled. Their spines seemed as if they had been forged from steel and wouldn’t bend even if the sky were to collapse.

This group of students was all very tall and muscular, possessing a toned aesthetics, and filled with a burning battle will. It was as if they knew not how to submit.

With each step they took, they would raise their feet high and stomp down heavily. It was as if they wanted to crush the ground!

“Quick, look, they are from the combat race!”

“It’s said that each adult from their tribe is all born to be warriors!”

“They know no fear. In ancient Earth, the rest of the people would be chased by bears, but only the combat race would be the ones chasing after bears!”

“The combat race would either be in battle or on the way to a battle!”

The star network and the spectators were filled with praises.

After the combat race walked over, the United Nations of America that had a mixture of various races and skin colors followed closely behind.

Then it was the Europa Alliance and the Rome Federation…

The examinees from various major interstellar countries walked past, then they were followed by the smaller interstellar countries. They included the Japan Interstellar Empire who wore samurai clothes, and the India Federation who wore turbans…

The candidates from various countries, races, and star regions appeared in succession, displaying completely different appearances. They entered uniformly into the arena and stood together, as if they were many military armies.

Many qi activities mixed together and encompassed the void space. Even the air became distorted and the light rays were chaotic.

Feng Lin closed his eyes and sensed around. He discovered that these examinees’ cultivations were extremely high, and elite cultivators were just the average standard. There were many other auras emitted that were deep like an abyss, making one feel breathless. They were clearly grand cultivators.

“So strong!” Even Feng Lin felt tremendous pressure.

Those who were grand cultivators had awakened Heaven Genes. In other words, mythological genes at this level could become one’s actual talent and could even be inherited by one’s descendants. They would be able to form a completely new race.

They could really be considered demonic to be able to attain a breakthrough to this realm when they not even reached 18 years old.

There would always be stronger people out there!

Feng Lin’s gaze also deepened. The over one million candidates here had fought their way to this stage in the various star regions, but there were only 10,000 vacancies to the Cosmos Universities. It was extremely difficult to emerge victorious in this intense competition!

“Finally, let’s welcome the examinees from the solar system!”

It was finally their turn.

“It’s our turn!” Everyone exchanged a glance and their expressions were all very grim.

Facing their peers from the other star regions, they felt that the differences in both their cultivation and strength were too wide.

They were geniuses in the solar system, but in the massive universe, they were just mediocre talents.

Under the many pairs of eyes, there was no turning back for them. They could only brace themselves and get off the Star Warship.

The loud applause immediately came to a stop, and many gazes filled with curiosity, doubt, judgment… were cast in their way. They appeared as if they were looking down from a superior point, wanting to see through Feng Lin and the other examinees.

The solar system was the origins of mankind. Even though it had degenerated for a very long while, when Feng Lin and the others entered the arena, the amount of attention they received did not match their strength as compared to the cases with other smaller interstellar countries or secluded regions.

“These are the examinees from the solar system? Their cultivation bases are too weak!”

“There isn’t even a grand cultivator amongst them! They are too weak!”

“Well, that place is a cultivation desert, a world that’s at its end. It’s already not bad for these examinees to reach this level of cultivation. They’ve picked the best they have!”

The spectators started to talk amongst themselves.

The on-screen comments that popped up on the star network didn’t stop either.

“The solar system has really degenerated!”

“It’s already not bad if one or two of them can make it into a Cosmos University out of the 100 of them. Chances are that all of them will fail!

“It’s such a joke! Even I’ll be able to make it if it’s this level!”

Feng Lin’s brows furrowed tightly. The atmosphere really wasn’t good and was filled with malicious intent.

The candidates from the solar system would attract attention more easily than the students from other places. However, as their cultivation environments were worse off, their cultivation standards were the lowest. This was why they would attract so much ridicule.

Their flaws seemed as if they were presented on a magnifying glass and magnified many times more.

Feng Lin was sharp and noticed that some of the candidates from Earth were trembling. It was as if they were on the verge of collapse.

He couldn’t help but shake his head.

Although there might be a difference in their strength, they mustn’t shun off mentally.

If their hearts weren’t strong enough, then they would really have failed!

There wouldn’t be any more miracles nor any chances for the tables to turn around!

Feng Lin raised his head high and looked straight into the many gazes cast in his direction as he entered the arena.

One million examinees stood in the arena. The scene was so majestic that they were like military troops.

These were all rare geniuses in the interstellar space; all of them were the cream of the crop and very horrifying. They had a majestic disposition and were the elites amongst all of mankind.

“Since they are broadcasting this live across the interstellar space, do you think that our father will see us?” Yana asked in a soft voice.

“Why do we want him to see us? He’s just an irresponsible guy!” Aris snorted coldly.

“Welcome, geniuses who have come from all corners of the Milky Way Galaxy! Right now, the gazes of everyone in the interstellar space are gathered on you. You’ll be participating in the A.C Year 9992, (Astronomic Calendar) Cosmos Universities’ enrolment examinations. You’ll be forming teams freely to participate in the examinations, going through three rounds of selection to vie for the top spot in humanity’s college examinations!… One chance! Each team would only have one chance. Regardless of the reason, failure will result in elimination. There’s no dependence on luck here. Each year, there will be a victor rising to the top position, and there would also be countless miracles where dark horses would turn out to be the unexpected winners. Everything is possible here. As long as you dare to wish for it, it can be done. This is the insane college examinations!…”

At this moment, a host stepped in the void and slowly descended. He was clearly a powerful cultivator as well. Excited voices rang out, bringing forth another round of thunderous applause in the arena.

This was the mainstream world amongst interstellar humans!

People were like dragons, and technology was extremely well-developed. It was a great civilization that included the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

It was an unprecedented era of prosperity.

Feng Lin stood in a secluded corner amongst the candidates from the solar system. It was as if he was someone who had come from the countryside and arrived in a city, being able to broaden his horizons.

“Based on the tests from the latest technology, we’ve discovered over 1,000 extraterrestrial races in the Milky Way Galaxy. The laws in the universe are that of the dark laws of the jungle. These extraterrestrial races threaten humanity’s existence.”

“Let me tell you the content of the examinations that you’ll be taking. You’ll be sent to actual interstellar battlefields, make to kill each other, and then the final victor will emerge. There is a total of three rounds.” The host’s voice resounded clearly next to everyone’s ears. It was filled with encouraging excitement, but the content was very brutal.

“The first round is the Interstellar Debarkation Battle, the second round is the Interstellar Warfare Battle, and the third round is the Elites Ranking Battle… The examinations will go on for a total of three months. You’ll be experiencing all sorts of difficult and harsh environments. Thus, you must grasp every second and progress rapidly! Once you fail, you’ll be completely eliminated and you might even face the dangers of death. Only those who can fight their way through are the geniuses that are required by mankind! They’ll obtain the opportunity to continue studying and improve themselves in the Cosmos Universities. Now, let the examinations officially begin…!!!!”
