Chapter 124: Chapter 109: Jiang He’s Expectations, The Army Advances, A Brief Peace Begins, The College Entrance Exam Starts!

Lu Sheng walked out of the practice room, back to his old martial arts class, and then to his former regular class.

His homeroom teacher Wang Zhen, upon seeing Lu Sheng, smiled and said, "The boy who once daydreamed in class is now stepping onto his own battlefield!"

"However, even becoming a Transcendent, you must remember the knowledge taught by your teachers. Accumulating knowledge is equally important during the Transcendent examination!"

Wang Zhen still spoke to Lu Sheng in his usual instructive tone.

It seemed, in his eyes, Lu Sheng was never a Transcendent, nor a Martial Artist genius, but just one of Wang Zhen’s students. Wang Zhen had never ceased to guide his students.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will always remember it!"

Lu Sheng said softly.

"Hmm, go ahead!"

Wang Zhen smiled and patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder.

The students from the regular class raised their hands one after another to cheer for Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng responded with smiles to each one and slowly walked out of the classroom under everyone’s gaze.

At the moment he stepped out of the classroom, Lu Sheng understood that he had parted ways with these regular class students, and from now on...

They would be people from different worlds.

...

Lu Sheng walked along the streets of Qiming City as the sky slowly darkened.

A hint of orange at the edge of the sky barely supported the firmament, preventing it from becoming dark too quickly.

At this moment, faintly visible were two or three stars flickering in the dim sky.

Lu Sheng raised his head, gazing at the sky. Through the atmosphere, he seemed to see the Tianqi Defense Line formed by the 108 Star Cities.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng’s heart stirred slightly.

"The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth... has increased!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, as he saw strands of starlight suddenly appearing and illuminating the entire Tianqi Star.

An echoing voice spread across the sky above Tianqi Star.

"Array of All Heavens, activate!"

As the low, echoing voice fell, beams of light surged from the 108 Star Cities, intertwining to form a pattern.

Under the intricate and complex patterns, star light descended upon Tianqi Star, enveloping the entire star.

"Today, the Array of All Heavens shall open the path to greatness for the talents of Tianqi Star!"

A terrifying existence bellowed, its voice reverberating throughout Tianqi Star.

In every corner of Tianqi Star, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continually surged.

Lu Sheng stood on a street in Qiming City, looking at the sky and listening to the low murmuring sound. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The grand event... has begun!"

...

In the Cosmic Void, stars floated continuously surrounded by innumerable asteroids drifting aimlessly.

Tremendous booming sounds exploded incessantly.

A figure the size of a star punched out, causing the surrounding stars to shatter instantly.

Mysterious beings hidden in the darkness summoned endless blackness to cover the entire sky.

Enigmatic beings bathed in flames drove vast fires to burn everything.

This... is the frontline battlefield.

This... is the meat grinder of living beings.

Almost every moment, countless Transcendents and other cosmic species turned into dust, their souls scattered.

Suddenly.

A middle-aged figure in white appeared suddenly in this realm.

Upon his arrival, a terrifying pressure filled the entire battlefield.

The surrounding void shattered inch by inch, unable to bear the aura emanating from him.

The middle-aged man’s hair hung lightly, resembling white snow.

In his eyes reflected thousands of stars, calmly gazing at the endless shadows ahead.

"Today... we press forward three thousand light-years, creating an era of peace for the human successors!"

His calm voice carried an indisputable tone.

Behind him, countless Human Federation troops erupted with powerful energy, surging towards the void.

"Emperor Bai! Don’t be reckless!"

From the endless void, a dragon’s roar echoed, causing the surrounding void to tremble continuously.

Emperor Bai’s eyes lowered slightly, his right hand slowly clenched into a fist and pushed forward fiercely.

"I am not here to negotiate!"

His punch shattered countless stars; wherever the fist force reached, everything was annihilated!

...

In a planet within the Human Federation.

A figure in black held a mechanical warblade, his eyes gleaming with a crimson light.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

Suddenly, a beast’s roar erupted, causing the earth to shake as stones and sand flew, resembling a sandstorm.

Soon after, a dragon-like figure charged at the young man in black.

"Seeking death!"

The young man’s eyes flashed with crimson light as he swung the mechanical warblade.

Carrying immense power, it instantly split the charging figure.

Blood... splattered all over.

After this, the young man slowly sheathed his warblade, carrying the beast-like corpse, he walked towards the nearby human city.

"The high-stakes examination... is starting."

"I hope this year’s candidates won’t disappoint me!"

He murmured softly, with an overwhelming battle intent emerging in his eyes.

...

In a planet of the Human Federation resembling crystal ice.

A graceful silhouette sat quietly atop a snow mountain; suddenly, the space around her seemed to press the pause button.

Falling snowflakes froze in midair.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, with a blue light shining within them.

"The high-stakes examination... is starting!"

She murmured softly; as her voice fell, the snowflakes in midair also descended.

As if nothing had changed.

Only her silhouette silently disappeared from the snow mountain peak.

...

Tianqi Star, Qiming City, at the entrance of Yucai High School.

Jiang He watched Lu Sheng before him, advising repeatedly, "Pay close attention during the examination. I am not worried about the other two sections, but the knowledge part requires extreme caution, as even one point can topple thousands."

"And remember, keep a calm mindset. You’re participating in the high-stakes examination of Tianqi Star; it won’t be too difficult for you. The real challenge lies in the star system selections afterwards!"

Jiang He continuously informed Lu Sheng about the examination details.

Indeed, the exam does not immediately level the playing field for all candidates across all planets but goes through two screenings.

First is the local planet selection. Only after attaining a certain rank within the planet can one qualify for the second round among the Seven Major Star Systems.

Eventually, from the star system selection, one thousand candidates will be chosen for the final ranking!

Hence, Jiang He urged Lu Sheng to stay calm.

Given Lu Sheng’s cultivation, entering the second selection was a given.

Facing Jiang He’s reminders, Lu Sheng smiled and nodded, then glanced at the time. Seeing it was almost time, he entered the school directly.

Jiang He watched Lu Sheng’s disappearing figure with anticipation in his eyes.

Lu Sheng entered the school, coming to an examination hall where virtual cabins for entering the Void Star Realm had been set up.

Lu Sheng arrived at his designated spot, completed a series of identity verifications, and under the watchful eyes of the invigilator, lay into the virtual cabin.
