Chapter 95: Ranking (Subscription Request)
Three days later.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, his expressionless.
Over the past three days, he had been quite cooperative, undergoing several physical examinations, including tests for Evil God aura.
Objectively speaking, the Evil God detection technology here was far more advanced than that of the Aquila Star Prevention Bureau.
They even caught several Evil God followers who were students.
But the crucial point was…he passed all of them!
‘Could it be…because my cheat is so powerful, it didn’t screw me over…it truly eliminated the contamination, leaving only the purest ‘异武’ (Unusual Martial Art)?’
He pondered inwardly, then entered a meditative state.
Within his consciousness, a crimson sun suddenly leaped out!
This was the ‘Mahābhote-like Chant’!
Strictly speaking, this ‘Unusual Martial Art’ seemed to be a visualization technique, requiring one to visualize the great sun in their mind, thus influencing their spirit, energy, and mind…
‘Therefore, it’s the easiest to hide contamination…but even the Federation’s most advanced technology didn’t detect any problems, so it should be fine…’
What was somewhat frustrating for Fang Xing was that he had directly mastered it; he couldn’t forget it even if he wanted to.
Comparing this to the Mahāvajra-Prajñā Divine Power, which he had been unable to master for a long time, it could only be said that martial arts differ greatly from each other.
Compared to the aloof Mahāvajra-Prajñā Divine Power, this Mahābhote-like Chant was like a flamboyant, cheap, and seductive vixen actively throwing itself at him.
‘Currently, it has nothing to do with the Void Gate, it’s simply a very miraculous martial art!’
Fang Xing silently made a judgment in his heart.
He didn’t know why he could directly master the ‘Mahābhote-like Chant’ despite lacking any innate abilities.
Its current effect seemed to be to stabilize his mind.
At least the martial will of an ordinary Brave Warrior Realm martial artist shouldn’t have any effect on him!
As for higher levels…he didn’t dare let Xia Long try it.
What if something went wrong?
After a moment, Fang Xing got up and walked out of his cabin.
Xia Long was smoking outside, looking considerably haggard.
Seeing Fang Xing, he immediately extinguished his cigarette, clearly unwilling to set a bad example for his student.
To this, Fang Xing could only remain speechless.
He himself was a mass murderer…
Moreover, Xia Long must have witnessed so many deaths, and perhaps recalled some experiences from his time in the army, causing him to appear somewhat depressed.
‘In terms of martial will, this shows a weak mind…no wonder he can’t form a Martial Dao Golden Core…’
Seeing Xia Long like this, Fang Xing finally confirmed that he indeed had injuries, which prevented him from advancing further and condensing a Martial Dao Golden Core!
Perhaps his mental injuries were even more serious.
“The ‘Source Sea Level’ treatment chamber of the Blue Star Federation is truly effective, isn’t it?”
Fang Xing secretly decided to get one later; it represented countless lives.
“Teacher!”
He greeted him.
“En, pack up your things, everything’s done, let’s go home.” Xia Long emphasized the words “go home”.
“Oh? How are the results calculated?”
Fang Xing asked a very practical question.
After all, he had come here to take an examination.
“Based on a comparison with the last data transmitted by the personal terminal before the Secret Realm encountered problems, the final scores have been determined…no re-examination.”
Xia Long sent him a score sheet.
Fang Xing opened it and his eyelids twitched: “First place, Gu Jian Tong…Second place, Li Wei, Third place is me…Gu Jian Tong is fine, but what’s with Li Wei?”
“He’s a genius alchemist from Youlin Star. In the Secret Realm, within the allowed rules, he used Secret Realm materials combined with his own accumulations to concoct a highly potent poison…knocking out many examinees…”
Xia Long briefly explained.
In terms of large-scale killing, martial artists using fists couldn’t compare to alchemists directly deploying poison gas bombs!
Fang Xing even suspected that Li Wei had already prepared something on the plaza.
Not directly poisoning anyone, but leaving special markers or unique scents.
Having a basic understanding of alchemists, he naturally knew that some scents are not only non-toxic but even beneficial to martial artists.
However, if they encountered certain other special ingredients, they would transform into terrifying toxins!
It was likely that Li Wei had pre-planted poison on the plaza and then wreaked havoc in the Secret Realm…
Well…it was a clever use of the rules.
After all, losers should admit defeat, and those beaten should stand firm.
Fang Xing secretly noted this person down; he would definitely beat him up if he ever met him again.
“How do you feel? Do you think it’s a pity?”
Xia Long observed Fang Xing’s expression.
“No, it’s not like the college entrance exam, third place is enough to make the cut, right?” Fang Xing shrugged indifferently.
“Of course, the principal would laugh himself to death…Aquila Star might even award you a grand medal, after all, our planet hasn’t had such good results in years.”
Xia Long sighed with emotion: “By the way…speaking of merit, your achievements in the Secret Realm have come through, a total of 3000 contribution points. You can use them to upgrade your citizen level, or to purchase rare resources not available in the Professional Mall, such as ‘Kunpeng Blood’…”
“Oh?”
Fang Xing checked and found that 3000 contribution points were indeed a lot.
Furthermore, these contributions were very useful; even if he joined the army later, they could be converted into corresponding military ranks.
If he used them to directly upgrade his citizen level, he could probably reach Level 3 citizen.
Although…he didn’t know what a Level 3 citizen could do, judging from his previous citizen certification experience, the treatment should be pretty good.
“By the way, what about the others?”
Fang Xing asked.
Sure enough, Xia Long had an ambiguous expression: “Gu Jian Tong was declared the top contributor, Qi Lingzhen and Zhong Yuxiu’s merits are about the same as yours…I know, you were actually the main force in fighting the Evil God believers, how do you feel?”
“Nothing much, the future retaliation from the Evil God Sect will be shared, which is good.”
Fang Xing was quite indifferent.
He knew that the young bishop was only a partial consciousness.
The real big shots were still hidden underwater.
Xia Long was speechless; he had previously racked his brains to comfort him, but now he couldn’t say anything.
He had originally planned to let Fang Xing experience the cruelty of society and warn him about the truths he had learned after half a lifetime.
But considering his bio-engineered identity and previous performance, he knew there was no need to say anything.
In the end, he only said:
“Sigh…let’s go home.”
…
Several hours later.
Aquila Star.
Stepping off the Biluo ship and onto the solid ground of his home planet, Fang Xing felt a surge of security from his heart.
‘Sure enough…my current level is too low, it’s best to be a country bumpkin on a small planet…’
‘Things like interstellar wars are not suitable for me…’
He and his teacher Xia Long arrived at the gate of Yucai High School.
Bang! Bang!
Salvos of fireworks soared into the sky, colorful ribbons fluttering down.
At the high school gate, projections appeared, forming a line of radiant words in mid-air — 【Warmly celebrating the excellent results of Fang Xing, a student of Class 2, Grade 2, in obtaining third place in the Hundred Star Joint Examination!】
“Haha!”
A figure flew out, none other than Principal Lu Guangming, a Golden Core cultivator.
His face was beaming, even the bald spot on his head seemed to be radiating light, and he looked incredibly energetic: “Student Fang, you have brought honor to our school. The school will reward you with 5 million Star Coins!”
“Principal, you’re too kind, this is what I should do.”
Hearing about the money, Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.
“Haha, little Fang, you’re still so adorable…”
Lu Guangming laughed: “Now that you have this money, what are you planning to do during the summer vacation?”
The Hundred Star Joint Examination was the Grade 2 end-of-term exam, and vacation followed naturally.
In fact, Fang Xing’s classmates, such as Bai Lang and Ouyang Qianqian, had already gone home for vacation…
“I’m planning…to take a spur-of-the-moment trip, to have a good look around Aquila Star.”
Fang Xing’s eyes flashed as he answered.
A spur-of-the-moment trip would make it easier for him to hide the secret of his time travel.
After all, he had made a splash in this Hundred Star Joint Examination, and might become a celebrity.
If a crowd of paparazzi were constantly stationed outside his residence, it would be even more troublesome than the Prevention Bureau’s surveillance.
But publicly, he needed an excuse: “After all…after this summer vacation, I’ll be an adult, and I’ll have to face the college entrance exam…”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Lu Guangming and Xia Long beside him nodded in agreement.
The Blue Star Federation stipulated that eighteen years old was the age of adulthood, and after adulthood, they would face the issue of Federation conscription.
For Blue Star citizens, only death and conscription were inescapable!
Whether bio-engineered or natural humans, they couldn’t escape it.
Among them, bio-engineered humans had less leeway due to their debts.
The only way to defy fate was through the college entrance exam!
But for Fang Xing, the college entrance exam was no longer a big problem.
“Going out for a stroll is also good…it can avoid some trouble. Besides, some university professors might come looking for you next semester to discuss admission, just remember this one principle: don’t trust anyone who contacts you without going through the school.”
Lu Guangming gave him a piece of advice.
“University admission, early acceptance?”
Fang Xing showed an interested expression: “Are there any top-tier universities?”
“Think beautiful, being able to get into a first-tier university is already good enough.” Lu Guangming shook his head: “Besides, you’ll soon become very rich, the upper echelons of the Federation, and giant corporations…might send people to invest in you, handle this yourself.”
Third place in the Hundred Star Joint Examination!
This result might not be anything special on Youlin Star, but it was very eye-catching on Aquila Star. If they investigated further and found out about Fang Xing’s bio-engineered background, that would be a real prodigy!
This had a certain value.
A grassroots background was often an advantage.
After all, investors like to hear stories, many people would expect Fang Xing to achieve something if he had grown up in an environment like Youlin Star, and had access to resources like Gu Jian Tong, whether he could grow to become a Martial Saint, a Martial God…
Even if investing in hundreds of geniuses failed, if only one Martial Saint succeeded, it would be considered a profit!
