“The three rounds of examinations are three life and death trials! They will be held in actual interstellar battlefields that are extremely dangerous. Feng Lin, if we wish to pass the trials safely, we must make our preparations!” Yana sounded extremely grim.

After the opening ceremony ended, Feng Lin and the other examinees were brought to their own rooms, waiting for the examinations to officially start.

Feng Lin's team came together to discuss what they should do now.

“The examinations will officially start in another ten days, and all candidates must form teams of five by themselves. We only have three members now. So, we must find the other members as soon as possible!” said Feng Lin.

“That's right!” Yana nodded. “The composition of the five-man team must be reasonable with our abilities making up for each other's shortcomings. This will allow us to deal with various complicated situations in the universe. Otherwise, they'll only be burdens!”

Yana was clear-headed as usual and started analyzing the situation.

“Based on the most common and most practical method of the battlefield, the composition of the five-man team must include one long-distance attacker, one strong frontal attacker, one power-erupting style user, one scouting and control style user, and the most important all-rounder. With that, when the five-man team takes on fights head-on, they can attack from far and from up front, allowing for easy adaptation regardless of how complicated the situation is!”

“What type do the three of us belong to? Which two other are we lacking?” Feng Lin wondered.

“My ability is mind control so I belong to the scouting and control type. I can scout the battlefield's situation at any moment, gather information, and perform mind control to a certain area using Mental Storm! Aris belongs to the frontal attacking type, and her tyrant aura can magnify her strength to destroy everything!

“Feng Lin, although I have no idea what mythological path you're taking, you have a lot of means and tricks. At the same time, you also possess both spiritual and frontal attacking abilities. You're a rare all-rounder and can support all sorts of complicated situations at any moment. With your ability, our team's structure has already started to take form. What we're lacking now is a long-distance attacker as well as a person who is a power-erupting style.

“Long-distance attacker can have the advantage of making the first move and attack the opponent in advance. They can attack the opponents from afar and catch them unaware! The user of the power-erupting style is capable of exploding with strength in frontal battles. They can instantly take away one to two opponents, reducing the numbers of enemies on the other side and giving us an advantage.

“In the composition of the five-man team, everyone will have a unique ability and positioning. If they were to cooperate, they can work as a single entity.”

Yana explained and analyzed everything from different levels.

“But where can we find these people?” Feng Lin asked again.

The three of them took three of the top four places amongst the candidates from the solar system. The other candidates weren't of much help to them, and they could only search for their other team members from the interstellar candidates.

However, there were one million candidates from various countries and star regions in total. How could they understand the information of all the candidates within ten days and find suitable people from amongst them? This wasn't a simple task.

“Since the interstellar college examinations are broadcasted live across the entire interstellar space, why haven't we heard anything about it from the solar system? This caused our understanding of the examinations and the examinees to be extremely low. We're being too much on the passive end!” Feng Lin frowned deeply.

Yana smiled bitterly. “It's because the broadcasting rights are too expensive. It costs over one trillion star coins and isn't something that a deteriorated star region like the solar system can afford to purchase!”

Feng Lin and Yana exchanged a helpless glance. This was really a sad story.

However, at this moment, Yana pursed her lips and smiled. “Have you forgotten what I do? I told you previously that I'm an interstellar hacker and a great one too. As long as I can break the firewall of the Interstellar Cultivation Association via the star network, it won't be difficult to get our hands on the information about these examinees!”

“Oh?” Feng Lin appeared a little doubtful. “There'll be problems if we're caught, right?”

“There won't be!” Yana wore a faint smile, like a weasel that had stolen a chicken. “The examination is a battlefield. This is the Interstellar Era and all battles are that of information and networking. There's nothing that can't be used. All methods and means are encouraged. If you can really break the Interstellar Cultivation Association's firewall and obtain all the examinees' information in advance, it'll just be one of your abilities. The Interstellar Cultivation Association won't interfere too much into it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you're able to do it!”

“I see!” Feng Lin nodded.

It was really a case of all is fair in war!

The battlefields in Interstellar Era naturally didn't have too many old rules. As long as one could emerge victorious, it didn't matter what means they used.

Right now, Yana didn't hide anything from Feng Lin. She brought out her interstellar hacker and started to fiddle with it. She logged into the Interstellar Cultivation Association's website, searched for data loopholes, and broke through the firewall through these loopholes… Everything was done in one go. She seemed very familiar with hacking, and this was clearly not the first time she had done something like this.

Astronomical data came pouring down—0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1—the numbers kept on flashing non-stop like the immeasurable stars in the night sky.

Feng Lin only took a glance and felt very giddy, not daring to take another look.

On the contrary, Yana seemed to be very focused. Her gaze was scorching, revealing her inner confidence.

It seemed that rather than actual combat, this was the battlefield she truly specialized in.

The intangible world of data was a world she could freely roam.

“The Cultivation Association increased the amount of protections on the examinees applying for the Cosmos Universities! I need some time to get through them!” Yana said seriously with confidence brimming in her voice.

Although she needed time, it wasn't too difficult for her!

Professional tasks will be left for professionals to handle.

Moreover, Feng Lin didn't specialize in hacking skills. His specialization was in combat!

“Want to have a spar?” He threw Aris an invitation.

“Who's afraid of you?” Aris didn't cower and appeared to be raring to go.

Dong dong dong!

Very soon, the sounds of punches and kicks colliding rang out in the training room. Loud booms rang out and the room kept on trembling.

Hearing the sounds, Yana shook her head slightly and did not pay them any heed. She continued to dive deep into the world of data, with fervent and excitement flashing in her eyes.

Tyrant Rush Punch!

Taichi Explosive Fist!

Feng Lin's figure moved slightly and he sent a punch smashing out with a jade-like glow.

The two fists collided and air currents seethed.

Feng Lin's body shook a little and the huge fist in the sky also dissipated once again, rapidly turning into gas that once again circled around Aris,

Feng Lin could not help but feel admiration. As expected of one on the Ares Mythological Path, the god of war amongst Greek's 12 main gods. She had tremendous potential!

The tyrant aura was immaterial but could condense into a material form, freely taking on various forms. It was very agile and could deal with all sorts of complicated situations, possessing both the attributes of energy and matter. It also had a hint of energy wave that could shake one's heart. It was really a type of perfect, powerful, and mysterious ability.

“Tyrant Aura Battle Statue!” Aris hadn't thought of being able to defeat Feng Lin with a single move. After her initial attempt to probe, she immediately used her ultimate move, turning her tyrant aura into a material battle statue. It was as if a giant had risen from the ground.

“Big! Big! Big!” Silver light flashed on Feng Lin's forehead and the Heart Monkey Force reinforced his body. His figure rapidly grew bigger, turning into an actual giant that was over ten meters tall.

Boom boom boom!

The two giants collided, hitting each other as stifled sounds rang out.

Feng Lin also rapidly adapted to the violent strength he had gotten after his vitality increased explosively.

…

“Alright, the two of you should have depleted enough of your excessive energy by now! Come and take a look at this data!” At this moment, Yana spoke up.

It was only then did Feng Lin and Aris stop. They wiped off their sweat and headed over.

Yana's identity microchip projected a piece of information. The firewall of the Cultivation Association's website had been broken through, and many examinees' data and information were obtained.

Name: Orlando Caesar

Age: 17

Background: Rome Federation, Caesar Planet

Cultivation: Grand cultivator

Vitality: 1,500+

…

A young man with blonde hair was displayed in the full-body projection. His eyes were like that of an eagle and were looking down at a slightly slanted angle. He emitted an arrogance that came from the depths of his bones and looked at others with a gaze as if he was surveilling his own subjects.

Grand cultivator!

If there were no comparisons, one might not know the difference. However, the moment there were comparisons, the difference might bring about a shock.

Feng Lin's eyes narrowed.

To think that the vitality of this examinee, Orlando Caesar, was above 1,500 points. It was three times that of his own. This was really an exaggeration.

From just the statistics, it was three times as much. The difference in the actual strength and speed when making moves would be even greater. Their overall strength was like that of heaven and earth—a one-sided crush.

Name: Arfus Ivanovich

Age: 18

Background: Soviet Russia, Ice Polar Planet

Cultivation: Grand cultivator

Vitality: 1,600+

…

It was a wild-looking young man with white-colored hair. He had a height of over 2.5 meters and his upper body was bare, revealing a lot of scars. He was abnormally tough-looking, like a human-shaped polar bear. His eyes were ice-cold as if he was choosing people to engulf, wanting to tear apart everything before his eyes.

As expected of someone from the combat race, he was born with a ferocious aura.

As they continued to scroll through, a Japanese man wearing samurai clothes appeared. He was wielding a katana and looked very cold and sharp. It was as if he was an unsheathed sword that would kill at any moment. He was clearly a vicious character who wasn't easy to get along with.

Name: Matsushita Shinoi

Age: 18

Background: Japan Interstellar Empire

Cultivation: Grand cultivator

Vitality: 1,800+

…

The information of strong examinees from various forces in the interstellar space was brought out, and all of those who ranked at the top were grand cultivators with the vitality of 1,500 or higher.

These were the true top-notch geniuses across the entire interstellar humans.

Each of them was stronger than Feng Lin, and there would always be someone stronger than the previous one.

Feng Lin knew that there was a vast difference between himself and these people. They weren't on the same level.

This was even more so for Aris and Yana.

Aris's vitality was slightly over 300, and Yana was only an interstellar cultivator with a vitality of over 70.

Compared to these real geniuses in the interstellar space, they were as insignificant as ants.

The three of them might be able to rank at the top in the solar system, but they would be considered the lowest level existences in the massive universe.

Even the ruler of the ants would merely be an ant before lions and tigers. They would be easily crushed.

Thus, the only way they could secure a spot in this brutal examination was by getting stronger.

The examinations were getting increasingly interesting. While bringing pressure to Feng Lin, they also brought about a huge challenge.

Facing challenges head-on and then winning them!

Feng Lin believed that he would also go through overwhelming change on a qualitative level.

The three months' time would be sufficient for him to undergo a complete transformation.

As the examinees' information kept on being revealed, a Huaxia young man who had yellow skin and black hair appeared before them. This young man appeared outstanding, had sharp brows and a vigorous aura. He was clearly not an ordinary person but more like a divine dragon who had taken the form of a human.

In the words of photographers in ancient times, this person could be said to have the disposition of a person in power!

Name: Feng Futian

Age: 18

Background: Huaxia Star Republic, Born to Feng Clan's direct line of descent

Cultivation: Grand cultivator

Vitality: 2,188+

…

This Feng Clan wasn't the same Feng Clan of Earth.

Feng Lin immediately realized that the Feng Clan mentioned here was the Feng Clan's Interstellar Ancestral Clan!

Being a grand cultivator with a vitality of over 2,000… Was this the real strength of someone born to the Feng Clan's direct line of descent?

If that was the case, then that Feng Shaoyou was really a good-for-nothing bastard!

It was no wonder he ran to the solar system and put up airs. He was merely a nobody.

“Hmmm? This person's surname is also Feng and he bears a resemblance to you!” Aris stared at Feng Futian and exclaimed.

At the sight of this scene, Yana revealed a thinking expression.

Feng Lin didn't care too much about it.

Feng was Huaxia's first ancient surname, inheriting Fuxi's blood lineage. They took Fuxi Mythological Path.

Fuxi was Huaxia's founding ancestor, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns. This mythological path had tremendous potential. It was in no way weaker than Sun Wukong Mythological Path and could possibly be stronger.

For Feng Futian to have such a strong vitality, it meant that he was definitely the person who could progress the furthest in Fuxi Mythological Path. How strong was he?

How may secrets to the Fuxi's myths and legends did the Feng Clan's Interstellar Ancestral Clan inherit?

Everything was a mystery, and he would only be able to find out more when they exchanged blows head-on!

Seeing that Yana was still displaying the information of these geniuses in detail, Feng Lin shook his head and decided not to continue looking at them. “Alright! Yana, these geniuses have a vast difference from us. They won't care about our team. If they were to come, they'd be the one taking the lead, and the three of us might become their cannon fodder instead. It'll be even more dangerous. The important thing now is to find suitable candidates for the remaining two spots!” Feng Lin was very rational.

Yana gave it some thought and nodded. “You're right! I've concluded three requirements for the remaining two candidates. Firstly, it's best if they are elite cultivators. We mustn't take in Interstellar cultivators. Secondly, the transcendent-grade gene they awakened must be high-grade one or even better. Otherwise, their abilities would be too weak and they'd just be a burden. Thirdly, they mustn't have unbridled characters and refuse to abide by the decided tactical commands. That'll just drag us down!”

Feng Lin nodded. Yana's thoughts were very clear. These three requirements were best suited to their team's current situation.

“Solar System Divine Continent Team is sincerely recruiting two team members. The requirements are elite cultivators, one being a far-distance attacker and the other being one who specializes in power-eruption style. Interested parties are welcome to meet us for a discussion!…” Yana sent out the request to recruit team members with their team's name, but they didn't receive any reply even after a very long time. It was as if the request had sunk into the sea, not even creating any ripple at all.
