Having considered everything, Feng Lin knew that he wasn’t joking.

Feng Lin lowered his head and stared at the electronic email. The names of these three men were on it, the examiners from the Great Wall University: Dongfang Zhu, Tony Ente, Soroya Biekov. They had the unique anti-counterfeiting symbol of the Great Wall University, one of the top ten universities in the cosmos, as well.

This undoubtedly meant what the red-eyed man, Dongfang Zhu, had said, was the truth.

A chance to ascend to the heavens with a single leap was before Feng Lin, but he was hesitating.

“If I join the Great Wall University, what will happen to my other team members?” Feng Lin asked in a heavy voice. “If I leave now, my team would lack a member for the second exam, and they would be eliminated.”

He had a steelyard in his heart.

Yana, Aris, Yi, Su Li—the four of them formed a team with him, and they had experienced dangerous situations together. They made it through to the second examination with great difficulty and if he were to forsake them now, the four of them would definitely find it extremely tough to pa.s.s the second exam.

Abandoning his teammates halfway? He truly couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.

“Your teammates?” The red-eyed man was startled, understanding Feng Lin’s hesitation. He then grinned. “Don’t worry; your team was capable of defeating a team of grand cultivators with just elite cultivators, this is an extremely rare achievement! As long as people from the other top ten universities weren’t fools, they would surely not let them slip out of their grasp. In addition, their ident.i.ties are extraordinary. In truth, they have already been targeted by the other examiners; this was why our Great Wall University didn’t reach out to them.”

He had a meaningful smile on his face. “Although you are the captain, you should know that based on background, you are the worst among the members of your team.”

Feng Lin naturally knew this. As the captain, he knew all the details of his team members. Although he didn’t know their exact backgrounds, from the mythological paths they were on, Feng Lin could infer that his team members were extraordinary. Each of them was walking on a peak-tier mythological path.

And in this era where cultivation recently resurfaced, it wasn’t a simple thing to be able to have such inheritances.

He understood the meaning of the red-eyed man words. If this was the case, he didn’t really have any reason to reject it.

However, it was ridiculously hard for him to make a decision!

He was reluctant!

His heart was filled with unwillingness!

Feng Lin was clear that as long as he signed his name, he would instantly enter one of the Cosmos Universities, but he would also lose the chance to gain a high ranking in the college examinations. At most, he would only become a common student at the Great Wall University.

As a cultivator, who was willing to be inferior to others?

He placed his hand on his id microchip, but he still didn’t sign the contract. After a while, he sighed and put his hand down, he asked, “Currently, my vitality stat is 962. What is the disparity between me and the strongest person in the examination?”

The red-eyed man was amazed and he understood what Feng Lin was thinking. “I didn’t expect you to have such ambitions. Sadly, your background is dragging you down. You grew up in the solar system, a place where there are no spirit particles, and missed out the best golden period of growth. You must have already put in unimaginable effort to be able to grow to your current level, almost nearing the grand cultivator realm. Sadly, human’s effort would never be able to triumph over the heavens. Before the strongest cultivators in these examinations, you are like a tiger cub before an adult mammoth. There’s no chance of victory for you.”

“The disparity is so great?” Although Feng Lin antic.i.p.ated something like this, he didn’t realize that the disparity was so immense. “A disparity of almost four times? Is it so exaggerated?”

“It is not merely four times.” The red-eyed man shook his head. “Vitality stat isn’t just a simple number. It’s a standard of the overall quality of a human body. If someone’s vitality stat is four times higher than yours, it means that his speed, his strength, his endurance…all physical aspects of him will be four times higher than yours. When the values stack together, the difference = 4x4x4, which is at the very least, 64 times! When the disparity in strength is so great, your opponent can simply brute force through everything. The difference isn’t something any mythological paths or genetic martial arts can mitigate.”

The words of the red-eyed man struck Feng Lin deeply. There were already people among the exam candidates who had broken through to a realm above grand cultivators; they must already be at the adept level. There was no need for the examiner to lie to him.

Although the Sun Wukong’s mythological path was strong, it didn’t mean that he could leap through levels endlessly to challenge those much stronger than him.

Sun Wukong had wreaked havoc in the heavenly court, creating unrest in the three realms. But in the end, he had also been subdued by a golden circlet made by the Taishang Elder Lord and had been caught. After that, he had met the Buddha Lord Tathagata and had been trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years.

Even the Great Sage had experienced it, let alone Feng Lin.

Cultivators mustn’t suppress their own hearts, but they also must not be so obstinate as to ignore the immensity of the heavens and earth.

A true cultivator wouldn’t care about the disparity in the short-term. Improving one’s vitality stat was fundamental.

Given the long lifespans of cultivators, as long as they were alive, how would there not be a chance for them to change their fates?

He was awakened by the words of the red-eyed man. Feng Lin understood his current situation and no longer thought about useless fantasies.

As long as he could enter one of the Cosmos Universities, his purpose all this while would have been achieved as he would take the first step into interstellar s.p.a.ce.

It was no longer important to get a high ranking.

“Fine. I will sign it.” Feng Lin wasn’t an indecisive person. After understanding the cause and effects, he no longer hesitated and signed his name on the contract while inputting his fingerprint and gene code.

The red-eyed man smiled upon seeing this. “Congratulations, Feng Lin. From now on, you are a student of our Great Wall University!”

Feng Lin calmly nodded.

“Three days. You only have three days to bid farewell to your team members. At that time, we will arrange a flying shuttle to send you to the Great Wall University for you to undergo militarization training,” reminded the red-eyed man.

“So quickly?” Feng Lin was astonished.

“Our Great Wall University might be a school in naming terms, but we are actually an army. All our students are soldiers, the border guards of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our job is to protect humanity, and we are thirsty for geniuses to join us. Also, we would frequently have contact with outside galaxies and would clash often with the interstellar alien races. Out of the top ten universities, the amount of rare cultivation resources we have is among the greatest. The earlier you head there, the more beneficial it would be for you!…” stated the red-eyed man.

“Understood.” Feng Lin wasn’t a wishy-washy person. As long as there were benefits to him, he wouldn’t care too much about other things.

“Three days later, I will be on time,” said Feng Lin. He bid farewell to the three examiners before leaving the area.

Plans would always not be able to catch up to changes! And sometimes, speed was the essence of the game.

The moment he entered his room, Feng Lin immediately lay down in the virtual cabin and connected his consciousness to the virtual universe.

At the next moment, he appeared in the virtual universe at the last place where he logged off.

Virtual minor-thousand world, Mythology Planet, Purple Cloud Palace!

Feng Lin opened the interface and hurriedly inputted Yana, Aris, Yi, and Su Li’s virtual id. “G.o.ddess of Wisdom”, “G.o.ddess of War”, “Shaman Yi”, “Nine-tailed Male Fox”.

With a wave of his hand, four strands of rotating grandmist white qi appeared and were sent out via remote mail. He left a message to them. “This item is the token for you to enter the Mythological Genes a.s.sociation, Grandmist White Qi. It is only effective for one day!”

Ding, ding, ding!

Very swiftly, there were already replies to his mail.

“Understood!”

“I’ll be coming now.”

“I’ve received it!”

In the virtual universe, as long as one knew the coordinates of a location, they could travel there in an instant despite a distance of millions of miles.

The Mythological Planet rotated and the thick fog prevented ordinary people from probing it. Very soon, four figures in various equipment appeared outside the planet.

Two were female, one was a male, and the last one was actually a half-human, half-demon three-tailed fox! These were the virtual avatars of his team members.
