Chapter 129: After Modification: Chapter 112 Lu Sheng Makes the List! Top 10,000, Under the Watchful Eyes of Tutors From Star River University

"Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun... neither of them managed to break into the top ten thousand."

A group of Transcendents from Tianqi Star watched this scene, falling into silence and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

However, they had somewhat expected such an occurrence.

After all, on a federal scale, Tianqi Star was merely a small asteroid.

Producing one or two fourth-stage individuals in the yearly high school exam was already considered quite good, let alone breaking into the top ten thousand.

The weakest among those in the top ten thousand were at least fourth-stage Transcendents.

At the same level, it was all about the foundation.

Asteroids like Tianqi Star, when compared to other more established colonized planets, were ultimately at a disadvantage.

...

Inside Molong Tower, Lu Sheng stood on the forty-fifth floor, shattering the Guardian of the floor with one punch. He glanced at the ranking on his wristwatch, his brows furrowing slightly.

He noticed that the few individuals at the forefront of the leaderboard were already up to the eighties in the tower levels, with their points continuously soaring.

"Even at the eightieth level, they haven’t slowed down at all. Are these people even human?"

Lu Sheng felt a significant pressure.

Since defeating Mu Tianran, no one in the younger generation of Tianqi Star could give him any pressure.

However... the competition among the young elites from the seven major star systems now brought back that long-lost sense of pressure on Lu Sheng’s mind.

"The Guardians from the forty to the fiftieth floors are comparable to the top hundred combatants in the Tianqi training camp. Beyond the fiftieth to the sixtieth floor, the Guardians might rival some initial fourth-stage Transcendents."

"At the eightieth level, the combat prowess is already comparable to the best among early fourth-stage Transcendents..."

"These guys..."

As Lu Sheng looked at the few individuals still sprinting ahead in the rankings, a serious expression came over him.

"I can’t slack off now. I haven’t even entered the top ten thousand yet. Even if I’m not as good as those top monstrosities, I must at least make it to the top ten thousand!"

"It’s said that being in the top ten thousand earns one a piece of planet-level knowledge from the Human Federation, which is extremely important to me!"

Lu Sheng’s gaze became determined. After taking a deep breath, he dashed toward the entrance to the next level.

His cultivation at the Golden Body Realm erupted, carrying a terrifying force as he began his mad dash forward.

Forty-sixth floor!

Forty-seventh floor!

Forty-eighth floor!

...

Sixty-fifth floor!!

It took him only the time of an incense stick to reach the sixty-fifth floor.

Looking at the Guardian of the sixty-fifth floor, Lu Sheng’s chest heaved a bit more.

"The combat strength at the sixty-fifth floor is almost comparable to a fourth-stage Martial Artist like Chen Moyun who has condensed his True Martial Body into the Golden Body..."

"But..."

Lu Sheng exhaled deeply, his eyes falling to his wristwatch again, a smile forming on his face.

"I’m in the top ten thousand!"

At this moment, on the ten thousand name leaderboard of the Void Star Realm, Lu Sheng’s name had finally appeared.

Rank 9895: Celestial Mist Star System, Tianqi Star candidate, Lu Sheng!

"I must hold on. I’m just at the tail end of the ten thousand now. The assessment isn’t over yet, everything is still uncertain. I have to continue challenging Molong Tower!"

Lu Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at the Guardian before him, a faint golden light flashing around his body as he charged at the opponent.

...

In the Star River Star System, one of the seven major star systems of the Human Federation,

... within a virtual space. In that space, hundreds of thousands of illusory figures stood quietly.

This place was a virtual space built by Star River University specifically for watching this high school exam by its faculty.

As one of the forces within the three major star systems, Star River University had countless students and a vast number of instructors.

Currently, within this virtual space, there were still some instructors who were busy with other tasks and hadn’t arrived yet.

At the center of this virtual space was a giant screen, displaying various scenes.

Within the footage, a young man in black, wielding an ink-colored long staff, was continuously fighting the Guardians of the Molong Tower.

"In this high school exam, there are quite a few good seedlings within the Martial Artist System, especially this Sun Xiaotian from the Milky Way Galaxy, who has already reached the late-stage Golden Body. His ranking is also second currently. If he joins our Star River University, there is hope for him to break through to the fifth stage within a century!"

A powerful voice resounded in the hall.

This voice drew nods of agreement from the numerous strong individuals.

Indeed, those seated in the hall were all instructors from Star River University.

Just as Lu Sheng mentioned, the third round of assessments not only allowed recognition from the entire Human Federation but also attracted the attention of mighty figures from various forces.

"Besides Sun Xiaotian, there’s Tang Xuan from our Star River Star System, whose strength is also quite impressive. He is the second Martial Artist to break into the top ten, following Sun Xiaotian!"

The footage in the live broadcast turned slightly, showing a burly young man wearing a training suit, and plain hand wraps, fighting the Guardian with his bare hands.

The terrifying Qi Blood carved menacing cracks into the ground.

"Yes, there are indeed quite a few good seedlings this year, making this old man somewhat eager."
