Chapter 132: Chapter 113: 86 Trillion Candidates, 7893 Accepted! Star River University’s Enrollment Invitation!_2

"Hmm? That guy Chen Moyun made it into the top ten thousand?"

Lu Sheng noticed that at the bottom of the ranking list, around the nine thousand nine hundred and something spot, Chen Moyun’s name slowly appeared.

Though it was at the bottom, being able to reach this step was already quite impressive.

"That guy..."

Lu Sheng smiled, genuinely congratulating him from the heart.

After all, they both came from the same planet. When they got to Star River University, as Chen Moyun had previously mentioned, they would need to stick together.

Lu Sheng was naturally happy that Chen Moyun could achieve good results.

"However, this should be Chen Moyun’s limit. I wonder if he can hold on."

Lu Sheng murmured softly, patiently waiting for the end of the exam.

As time went on, about half an hour later, the ranking list finally stopped changing.

"Is it over?"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the rankings.

His own ranking had dropped from 7868th to 7893rd, while Chen Moyun had almost fallen out of the top ten thousand, just managing to get a score of 9946th.

While Lu Sheng was watching the rankings, the gentle female voice echoed again between heaven and earth.

"The third round of assessments is over!"

"Candidate Lu Sheng, examination number: 5416857!"

"This time, a total of 8.6 trillion Transcendent candidates participated in the exam, and your ranking is: 7893rd!"

Hearing the voice, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Sheng’s face.

"There were actually 8.6 trillion candidates this year? That many?"

Lu Sheng hadn’t expected this number.

But on closer thought, it made sense.

After all, the entire human federation, with ten thousand colony stars, had a total population of over ninety quadrillion. Even a small asteroid like Tianqi Star, which was located in a relatively remote part of the human federation, had a population of three billion.

Not to mention the populations of the larger planets, which each had at least tens of billions.

In some star systems’ planetary belts, the population could reach the trillions.

With such a vast population base, there would naturally be no shortage of students qualified for the exam, nor would there be a shortage of Transcendent candidates.

Given these calculations, having over 8 trillion candidates for the exam wasn’t so surprising.

"I was a bit disappointed not to advance further, but considering that among over 8 trillion candidates, ranking in the 7000s is already an impressive achievement."

Lu Sheng smiled, and then heard the gentle female voice continue.

"This year’s university entrance exam has ended. Candidates, please leave the venue in an orderly manner."

"It’s over..."

Lu Sheng murmured softly and then slowly closed his eyes. He immediately felt a vast spiritual power envelop him, severing his connection to the Void Star Realm.

When Lu Sheng opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the virtual cabin.

Opening the cabin door, Lu Sheng stepped out. At this moment, he was the only person left in the examination hall.

In this examination hall, only Lu Sheng had made it to the third round of assessments.

Before Lu Sheng could catch his breath, he heard a series of buzzing sounds coming from his wristwatch.

"What’s going on?"

Lu Sheng frowned, looking at his wristwatch, only to find a series of messages popping up.

The first message he saw was from Star River University.

"Dear student Lu Sheng, congratulations on being admitted to our university. Please report to Celestial Spirit City on Tianqi Star in ten days."

The message from Star River University was very concise and to the point.

"Admitted..."

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but smile when he saw the message from Star River University. Although he had known he would enter Star River University, seeing the actual admission message still brought him a sense of joy.

"Dear student Lu Sheng, you have attracted the attention of 10,073 mentors at our university. Each mentor has sent you an invitation message. Please take your time to consider and choose a mentor to guide you during your time at Star River University."

The second message was also from Star River University. When Lu Sheng saw the message, he was momentarily stunned, then he took a deep breath as he saw the number of unread messages.

The moment the exam ended, he had received over ten thousand messages, all of them invitations from Star River University mentors.

"So many mentors are interested in me?"

"Well, considering I ranked in the 7000s, and including the Cultivators and Mechanical Transformers, my rank among Martial Artist candidates is quite high. Star River University admits at least three billion students each year. With my high rank, it’s understandable that these mentors would extend invitations."

Lu Sheng smiled slightly but did not immediately check the messages. Given the sheer number of messages, he decided to find a quiet place and take his time choosing a mentor for his future at Star River University.

Leaving the examination hall, Lu Sheng saw Jiang He and three Martial Arts Class mentors waiting outside.

"Haha, our Yucai High School’s celebrity has finally come out!"

Seeing Lu Sheng, Jiang He and the three mentors immediately smiled.

"Wow, ranking 7000s in the entrance exam, our Yucai High School has never had a student achieve this before. You are the first, marking a historical moment for our school—or rather, for Qiming City!"

Jiang He said with a smile.

Lu Sheng remained calm, smiling modestly. "Just a stroke of luck; I still have a lot to work on."

Lu Sheng’s words made Jiang He and the others feel even more appreciative. With such remarkable talent and a steady character, no wonder Lu Sheng had come this far.

"Now that the exam is over, you must have received the admission offer from Star River University, right? How about taking some time to learn about the university first? When you have time, the school is planning to hold a celebration banquet. All the significant leaders and Transcendents of Qiming City will be there to send off our local celebrity."

Jiang He suggested.

Lu Sheng nodded, as he indeed needed some time to understand Star River University and the mentors who had sent him invitations.

After saying goodbye to Jiang He and the others, Lu Sheng went straight home, then opened his computer to find the official Star River University forum and start learning about the university.

After spending a long time reading, Lu Sheng gained a decent understanding of Star River University.

"I knew that entering Star River University would mean staying there for a long time, but I didn’t expect the graduation period to be three hundred years!"

Lu Sheng smiled wryly.

Three hundred years, almost several lifetimes for an ordinary person.

Even for Transcendents, even Golden Body Martial Artists had a lifespan of about three hundred years.

"In other words... If I can’t achieve the Golden Body, or break through to the fifth tier at Star River University, I might never graduate in my lifetime."

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but feel emotional.

"Moreover... the geographical location of Star River University is rather unique."

Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he read a forum post introducing Star River University’s location.

As one of the three major star system powers in the human federation, Star River University occupied the Star River Star System, one of the Seven Major Star Systems, which also was one of the three front-line star systems.

The front-line star systems were closest to the battlefield, meaning that... once you entered Star River University, you also assumed the responsibility of defending the Star River Star System!
