Starry Sky Professional Directory 119
“This little guy has quite the temper…”
Among the clouds, numerous Blue Star University professors were monitoring the arena, occasionally scoring the students. Seeing Fang Xing’s punch that left his opponent disfigured, Nie Ying couldn’t help but smile slightly: “He seems to have experienced a lot of life-or-death battles… This is good. Our previous students lacked a bit of bloodlust…”
“The principal is right…”
A group of teachers echoed in agreement: “This Fang Xing, born a bio-engineered human, can still achieve great mastery of the Dragon Elephant Skill, and his Mahāvajra-Prajñā Divine Power is also quite skilled… Coupled with the伏虎桩 (Fuhu Stake, a martial arts stance) and Great Dragon Stake, it can be said that every step he takes is very steady, his foundation is incredibly solid… When he condenses the Dragon Tiger Golden Core, if he can achieve enlightenment, he can harmonize yin and yang, cultivate the ‘Dragon Elephant Invincible Divine Ability’, and in the future, the seven transformations of the Golden Core are within reach…”
Based on Fang Xing’s current performance, some teachers believed he could break through to the Diamond Realm!
“Brilliant in youth, not necessarily great in adulthood!” Another teacher shook his head: “The difficulty of the Martial Dao is like ascending to heaven step by step. This Fang classmate will have no problem advancing to the Outer Scene during his university years, but the Martial Dao Golden Core stage is a hurdle for countless geniuses. To achieve a high-grade Golden Core, resources are indispensable… Compared to Fang Xing, I’m more optimistic about Gu Jiantong. This Gu classmate is truly gifted, possesses the top-tier ‘Light Transformation’ ability, and has sufficient background and support. His future is limitless…”
“Mm, among this year’s Martial Dao applicants, these two are the strongest. Let’s watch their final battle first, then go to other examination halls…”
Nie Ying nodded slowly.
Fang Xing used his hand like a blade, ghostlike and elusive, a dazzling blade light soared into the sky. The opponent, a student wielding a long spear, bled from his nose and mouth, cut down from the arena by wave after wave of relentless blade light. Even with visible white bones on his fingers, and already unconscious, his figure remained upright, standing like a spear.
“His willpower is truly extraordinary!”
Even Fang Xing gave a thumbs-up.
The students he encountered in the school examinations were all top talents, possibly even the best in their star systems! Although he seemed to resolve his opponents in a couple of moves, it still took some effort.
“After winning so many times, I’m surely guaranteed a spot, right?”
As he was pondering, his next opponent appeared—Gu Jiantong, whose eyebrows blazed like golden flames!
“Hmm? Finally, it’s your turn!”
Gu Jiantong, upon seeing Fang Xing, showed a surprised smile: “Hahaha… If I can’t defeat you, my victory will be incomplete. Come on… I must defeat you, to achieve the highest level step by step.”
‘Do you think you’re Zhao Gao?’ (Zhao Gao was a treacherous eunuch in Chinese history known for his manipulation of the emperor.)
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and moved.
He was fast! Gu Jiantong was even faster!
In an instant, the two met in the middle of the arena, countless fist shadows and palm winds colliding.
Rumbling!
The solid arena looked like it had been plowed, a complete mess.
Whoosh!
Gu Jiantong flicked his finger, and a beam of light shot out, incredibly fast, swift, and venomous to the extreme.
Bang!
Fang Xing raised his arm to block, feeling a slight pain. The beam of light carried intense heat, melting through his layers of Dragon Scale Elephant Armor, leaving a white mark on his arm.
“Hmm? You can break through my defenses, you can be proud of that.”
Fang Xing lowered his arm, chuckling.
“I’ve never seen someone who can put on a show better than me.”
Gu Jiantong roared, a faint light emanating from his eyes and mouth: “The pointless probing is over.”
A illusion of a blazing white sun appeared, enveloping the entire arena!
“Rudimentary Light Domain?”
Feeling the light from all directions pouring into his body, Fang Xing let out a light shout, as wind and clouds appeared.
Clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger!
—Rudimentary Dragon Tiger Domain!
Although the dragon and tiger couldn’t cooperate perfectly, it still demonstrated his astounding skill in these two realms of intent.
Roar! Roar!
Amidst the dragon’s roar and tiger’s howl, the illusory figures of a dragon and a tiger appeared, seemingly about to tear apart the pure white sun.
Two rudimentary domains clashed, constantly eroding each other. In the heart of the light, Fang Xing seemed to be wearing a golden jade garment, continuously exchanging blows with Gu Jiantong.
Gu Jiantong moved with incredible speed, occasionally using light-based attacks, leaving several white marks on Fang Xing’s body.
“Got you…”
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Fang Xing’s lips, his large hand reaching out, like a Dragon Tiger Grasp, directly plunging into the light in front of him, seizing Gu Jiantong’s shoulder: “My external training is strong, even if I take several of your light blasts, it’s nothing… But you? How many of my punches can you take!”
His other arm clenched into a fist, golden light flashing in his eyes.
—Mahāvajra-Prajñā Divine Power, double amplification!
Bang!
A figure flew backward at incredible speed—Gu Jiantong!
He lay on the ground, painfully turning over, looking at the clouds drifting in the sky: “Damn it… If this were in the real world, I would have definitely won!”
His ‘Light Transformation’ ability was not yet fully developed, currently only capable of receiving various amplifications under stellar light. But this was in a virtual space, and no one would simulate starlight for him.
“Perhaps…”
Fang Xing remained noncommittal.
Through this battle, he learned a lot. At least, his strength was not overwhelmingly superior to his peers!
Moreover… if Gu Jiantong was like this, what about Gu Zhen?
“Alright, the Martial Dao Department examination for freshmen is over. The first place—Fang Xing! Next is the admission list: Fang Xing, Gu Jiantong, Dilīs…”
Wei Shentong’s figure appeared, without glancing at Gu Jiantong lying on the ground, and slowly announced the admitted students.
Beep!
The virtual cabin opened, and Fang Xing stepped out, seeing that his communicator had received numerous messages.
[Blue Star Federation Level 2 Citizen Fang Xing… Congratulations on your admission to Blue Star University’s Martial Dao Department (ten-year program)!]
[Your iris, Qi and blood information have been recorded in the ‘Omniscient Brain’, granting access to most of Blue Star University’s resources…]
[You have obtained Blue Star residency, a Blue Star University map, and a freshman handbook…]
“Ten years of university?”
Fang Xing murmured. After being admitted to Blue Star University, his status had undergone a significant leap! He felt slightly dazed.
“My 19th birthday is coming soon…”
“Finally, upon reaching adulthood, I’ve been admitted to university, fulfilling a wish…”
At any rate, he didn’t have to worry about immediately going to war.
With a sigh, he looked around and found many virtual cabins still running, indicating that Zhong Yuxiu and the others’ examinations were not yet finished.
After a while, students gradually emerged from the virtual cabins, some filled with excitement… most were extremely dejected.
“So frustrating… I was almost there.”
Zhong Yuxiu came out of the virtual cabin, tears in her eyes: “No… I have to prepare properly. If Blue Star University doesn’t work out, there’s still Saint Armor University… If Saint Armor University doesn’t work, then I can only take the ‘War College’ exam.”
War College wasn’t a top-tier university, but it was among the top-ranked first-tier institutions. Most applicants who failed to get into top-tier universities would choose to take the War College entrance examination.
Soon, Qi Lingzhen and Li Wei also came out. They were lucky enough to be admitted to Blue Star University.
“Wuwu… Sister Qi, I don’t want to be separated from you.”
Zhong Yuxiu’s eyes turned red again upon learning the results.
“You strive to get into Saint Armor University, we can still meet in the virtual space.”
Qi Lingzhen quickly comforted her.
After Zhong Yuxiu and the other unsuccessful candidates left reluctantly, Nie Ying looked at the students below, a smile on his face: “Welcome, everyone. Blue Star University starts on September 1st. I’ll talk about some of the school’s benefits. Firstly, you have all obtained Blue Star residency, with permanent residency rights… Besides, renting outside Blue Star is quite expensive, so student dormitories are now open to you… Each student’s bedroom will be equipped with a ‘Holographic Virtual Cabin’ with internet access… We are optimizing this aspect, and perhaps in the future, you can all attend classes from Saint Armor University and Nine Swords University via the virtual cabin… As for your respective teachers and advisors, they will be announced at the start of the semester.”
“So… the meeting is adjourned!”
After Nie Ying finished speaking, he immediately strode away, the other teachers following suit.
“That’s… it?”
The remaining candidates were dumbfounded.
“Hmph… He’s a Martial Saint, handling countless matters every minute. Hosting the entrance examination is already a great favor.”
Gu Jiantong lifted his chin: “As for the rest… don’t you look at your communicators? The Omniscient Brain has already arranged everything!”
His arrogance caused many to glare at him.
“What? Want to fight? One by one, we’ll have witnesses and stakes… I’ll tell you, my title as the top student of Youlin Star was earned through countless fistfights.”
Gu Jiantong crossed his arms, surveying everyone with disdain, showing no sign of the beating he received from Fang Xing.
Fang Xing ignored them and walked out of the gymnasium. Along the way, he occasionally saw a few Blue Star University students, all very young, but with unfathomable auras.
“Truly a great place…”
He opened his electronic map and found the freshman dormitory area. Blue Star University was like a large city, and the freshman dormitory area was an unimaginably large community.
Neat three-story villas were arranged in an orderly manner, each occupying a large area of about one mu (approximately 667 square meters), with exquisite and elegant interiors.
‘Each freshman gets a small villa, absolutely private, even the Omniscient Brain has no right to peek without authorization…’
‘That’s right, not only do Martial Dao students need enough space to practice, but pharmacists and mecha engineers need laboratories and private factories… Later on, this much land might not even be enough.’
Fang Xing found his residence—a three-story red-roofed villa with an open balcony, swimming pool, and training ground.
[Beep! Iris verification successful… Freshman Fang Xing, welcome to unlock your freshman dormitory…]
He grasped the doorknob, and a fluorescent light flashed from the peephole, emitting a mechanical voice.
Click!
The villa door swung open, Fang Xing walked around, then eagerly went to the bedroom. In the master bedroom, there was indeed a ‘Holographic Simulation Cabin’!
