Chapter 128: Chapter 111: Fame in Tianqi, The Complex Mu Bing, Third Round Test, Molong Tower!_2

"You’ve already done very well. That guy Lu Sheng... is a monster, a prodigy."

Mu Bing’s expression became even more complicated at these words.

Lu Sheng, whom he once looked down upon, had now become someone he needed to look up to. He remembered his teacher once said it would take him twenty years to break through to the fourth stage.

But now, Lu Sheng had already reached the fourth stage.

Meanwhile, other candidates, whether they had been eliminated or were still in the Void Star Realm, had various thoughts when they saw Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun’s names on the leaderboard.

"These two... are both Martial Artists!"

Some candidates muttered to themselves, while others had complex expressions, and some even wore bitter faces.

Especially those Transcendents under the Cultivator and Mechanical Modifier systems, their expressions were extremely complicated, as they had always looked down upon Martial Artists.

But now...

The top two spots were occupied by Martial Artists, and neither the Mechanical Transformers nor the Cultivators had a single person reach the fourth stage this year.

This made their feelings even more complex.

On the other hand, Transcendents under the Martial Artist system were staring at Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun’s names with fervent expressions.

As Martial Artists, even those who entered the Tianqi training camp, usually received disdainful looks from Cultivators and Mechanical Transformers.

Transcendents from other systems always appeared superior in front of Martial Artists.

But now, seeing the first and second places occupied by Martial Artists, a spark of fire ignited in their hearts.

"So... Martial Artists can also stand at the top of the mountain!"

Many Transcendents under the Martial Artist system looked at the leaderboard, their expressions flickering.

...

In the Void Star Realm, Lu Sheng stood quietly within a white expanse, waiting for the next round of examination to begin.

After about ten minutes, a gentle female voice echoed in the world.

"Candidate Lu Sheng, ranked first on the Tianqi leaderboard, is about to enter the third round of examination. Please prepare yourself, candidate!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng’s gaze couldn’t help but sharpen.

It’s here!

The third round of examinations would be taken by the top thirty thousand candidates from Tianqi Star along with candidates from other planets and star systems!

And this... would be the critical point for Lu Sheng to get better treatment at Star River University and a better mentor!

Lu Sheng’s heart couldn’t help but surge a bit.

"Connecting candidates from the Seven Major Star Systems, countdown starting..."

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"..."

The gentle female voice resounded slowly, and Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

The Human Federation comprised thousands of colonial stars divided into seven major star systems, each split into frontline and rear star systems.

Tianqi Star, where Lu Sheng was located, belonged to one of the four rear star systems, the Celestial Mist Star System.

All candidates from the Seven Major Star Systems gathered for the final ranking, which would determine the top ten thousand and reward them generously by the Human Federation.

Besides the Human Federation’s rewards, these top ten thousand candidates would also attract the attention of powerful figures from major factions.

For instance, Star River University’s mentors would watch the candidates’ performances in real-time to choose their students.

The countdown continued to echo.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

With the fall of the final number, the scenery before Lu Sheng changed dramatically, transforming from a blanket of white to the interior of an ancient tower.

Standing on the ground, surrounded by towering stone pillars, Lu Sheng saw that the pillars formed a circle around him.

Inside the circle, it was just Lu Sheng and a figure clad in black armor, holding a black sword, standing quietly.

"The third round of the exam, a combat assessment!"

"Assessment content: Molong Tower!"

"In this assessment, candidates will challenge Molong Tower. Each successful level from one to ten grants one point, levels eleven to twenty grant two points per successful level, and so on..."

"The assessment... officially begins!"

As the voice fell, the eyes of the figure in black armor before Lu Sheng suddenly opened, revealing a gleam of crimson.

The next moment, the black-armored figure turned into a bolt of black lightning, rushing at Lu Sheng abruptly.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng slightly furrowed his brows and kicked out with his foot.

Boom!

The immense force directly shattered the black armor, turning it into black fragments that scattered across the ground.

Simultaneously, white halos appeared at the back of the arena.

"The entrance to the next level?"

"The strength of that black armor was pretty decent, probably mid to late stage of the third level. For me... it’s still within the realm of casual obliteration."

Lu Sheng murmured, then glanced at the watch on his hand. In the third-round assessment, it was still possible to see the ranking.

But this accumulated the ranks of the top ten thousand candidates.

At this moment, one thousand names were already flickering continuously on the leaderboard.

Even the lowest score had reached five points.

This indicated that they had already reached the fifth level.

"So fast?"

Lu Sheng was somewhat astonished that he had just defeated the first-level enemy, yet some had already reached the fifth level or even higher.

He had to admit that these people’s adaptability and reaction speed were indeed terrifying.

"After all, this is the largest stage of the entire Human Federation; I can’t afford to be underestimated!"

Lu Sheng murmured, stepping out directly towards the entrance of the second level, starting a frenzied sprint.

One level!

Two levels!

Three levels!

...

In less than a minute, Lu Sheng directly swept through the first ten levels and reached the eleventh level.

After punching out and defeating the enemy on the eleventh level, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but say.

"The first ten levels correspond to the most ordinary mid to late stage third-level Transcendent, increasing gradually. Reaching the eleventh level corresponds to Transcendents who have grasped a certain level of the Mental Realm."

"So, every ten levels mark a watershed. The higher the level, the stronger the enemy. Later on, there might even be enemies comparable to the Golden Body Realm!"

Lu Sheng’s eyes showed a gleam of battle intent.

"Interesting!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then took another step towards higher levels.

At the same time, in the outside world across various planets of the Human Federation, whether they were Transcendents, ordinary people, or candidates who didn’t make it to the third round, they were all watching the live broadcast.

They looked at the constantly changing leaderboard, eagerly trying to find the names of their planetary candidates. Whenever a candidate from their planet was found, it would spark a heated discussion.

"Look, this is our Mo Star prodigy, hahaha, he made it to the eight-thousandth place!"

"Hey, hey, hey, isn’t that Wang Chen from our Sirius, I saw his name, at the four-thousandth place!"

"Hahaha, not failing my Flame Star’s prodigy."

Conversations like these echoed across many planets.

At this moment, on Tianqi Star, everyone was also searching for the names of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun. They knew that to enter the top ten thousand, candidates needed at least to have reached the fourth stage.

After all, if even Tianqi Star could produce two fourth-stage candidates, other planets certainly wouldn’t fall short.

But after searching for a long time, they still couldn’t find Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun’s names on the list, causing a silent gloom among many Transcendents on Tianqi Star.

"Could it be that no one from our Tianqi Star can enter the top ten thousand?"
