Rank 1: Zhao Kai, 1250 points!
Rank 2: Feng Lin, 1228 points!
Third place: Du Zhiming, 987 points!
…
In the end, Feng Lin obtained second place.
The examinations of the Interstellar Era were more focused on martial arts.
After all, the content of the cultural exam was only about knowledge and theories, while the martial exam was about genetic cultivation.
The universe was boundless, and there were countless races.
The seemingly boundless starry sky was actually filled with competition.
The cruel and dark law of the jungle made it so that no race dared to be careless, and humans were no exception. If they fell behind, they might face the fate of extinction.
Only by evolving, constantly evolving, could they have a foothold in this cruel universe.
Compared to pure theory, genetic cultivation involved the evolution of human life essence. Clearly, this was the most important part of the exam.
Just like the written exam, there was no upper limit to the results of the martial exam.
Through a certain formula, with vitality as the main factor and speed and power as the secondary factors, the final score was calculated.
This also meant that as long as your Vitality Index was high enough, your speed was fast enough, and your strength was great enough, there was no limit to the points you could get in the end.
The reason why it was set up like this was to encourage people to work hard in their cultivation and break through as soon as possible, becoming a true interstellar cultivator.
Although Feng Lin had strengthened his genetic equation and achieved a complete transformation within a short period of time, he still couldn't fully recover.
However, if he was just a mortal before, no matter how much he changed, it would be impossible for him to become a peerless expert in such a short time.
Currently, there was still a huge gap between his vitality and that of the class's number one, Zhao Kai.
In the second exam, he scored 640 points, far behind Zhao Kai's 1000 points. His total score was slightly behind.
Even so, he was the only two examinees in the class to score more than 1000 points.
Du Zhiming, who was in third place, had been left far behind. He was not on the same level as the two of them.
Temporarily falling behind was not scary.
Feng Lin was very clear about how bad his cultivation foundation was before this. He didn't think of rising to the heavens in a single step.
However, he had the genetic equation in his hands. How fast would his improvement be?
Perhaps by the next exam, he would have already far surpassed Zhao Kai. This person would never be his goal!
Feng Lin was incomparably certain of this point.
Only the top three in each class would be qualified to cultivate in the Martial Pagoda. As for the rest, their rankings were not important.
The last ten students were in a miserable state. All of them had sullen expressions on their faces, unable to lift their spirits.
They had already lost the right to participate in the college entrance examination. They could only obtain a high school graduation certificate and struggle to survive in society.
In the Interstellar Era, there were cruel competitions everywhere.
Not only people, but also schools.
Every school had to compete for a good ranking in the college entrance examination in order to maintain their reputation and obtain excellent students.
In order to achieve this, apart from nurturing geniuses who could get good grades, the key was to have them enroll in a higher school.
Some people who were destined to be unable to enter a university would not be able to obtain the qualifications for the college entrance examination, which would lower the enrollment rate.
Therefore, every year, there would be some weak students who couldn't participate in the college entrance examination. Moreover, those who failed couldn't even repeat the exam. In the Interstellar Era, there was no such thing as a repeat exam.
Initially, Feng Lin was also one of them. But now, with his own capabilities, he had already distinguished himself and became the second top student in the class.
No matter how calm Feng Lin's heart was, he was secretly excited right now.
It was precisely because the Feng Clan felt that Feng Lin wouldn't be able to get into a university that they arranged for him to be an intern at their clan's factory.
Right now, Feng Lin had already taken a firm and powerful step forward. As long as he continued on, he would soon have enough capital to negotiate with his clan, freeing himself from the fate of being controlled by others.
"The others are dismissed. The three of you will follow me!" The female head teacher announced, indicating for Feng Lin, Zhao Kai, and Du Zhiming to follow her.
After exiting the classroom, the group sat on the maglev train within the school and headed toward the direction of the cultivation hall.
Along the way, Zhao Kai and Du Zhiming chatted and laughed with each other. Neither of them looked at Feng Lin, their faces filled with disdain.
Feng Lin couldn't be bothered with them. He sat upright in his seat and breathed in and out, recovering the physical strength he had expended during the martial examination.
The head teacher at the side secretly sized him up with her eyes, wanting to see clearly this student who had risen up against the odds.
She couldn't help but say that from Feng Lin, she didn't discover anything else but a calmness and maturity that far surpassed those of his age.
He was so young yet had such a mature temperament. If there were no accidents, his future wouldn't be bad.
The head teacher nodded, and she valued Feng Lin a little more.
The train was very fast, and very soon, they arrived in front of a tall and majestic building. A group of people had already gathered at the entrance, waiting quietly.
When they saw Feng Lin and the others appear, they also raised their hands and greeted Zhao Kai and Du Zhiming.
There were only so many graduating classes in a high school, and the top students of each class knew each other.
"Eh, why isn't Fang Shan here? Isn't he always the third place in your class? Who is this guy? "
"Why haven't I seen this person before?"
"From the position he is standing at, he seems to be the second place in the class. To think that he actually pushed Du Zhiming down to the third place?"
"When did such a character appear in Class 17?"
…
The students from the other classes greeted Zhao Kai and Du Zhiming, and they looked curiously at Feng Lin who had suddenly appeared.
The female head teacher was also chatting with the other head teachers, pointing at Feng Lin from afar.
Feng Lin's eyes were focused on his nose, and his nose was focused on his heart, unmoved.
"Zhao Kai, who is he?" A slender handsome young man came over and asked Zhao Kai with a cynical smile on his face.
"Just a lucky guy!" Zhao Kai's face twitched as he pretended to be disdainful.
However, that handsome young man wasn't so gullible. Seeing Zhao Kai's flustered and exasperated look, his eyes darted around, sizing Feng Lin up with a contemplative look.
He was very clear that Zhao Kai's character had always been arrogant and didn't put others in his eyes. To be able to anger Zhao Kai to this extent, this new guy was definitely not ordinary.
Many gazes swept past him, but Feng Lin didn't have any intention to get close to them. He patiently waited for the illusory martial pagoda to open.
A heavy pressure was placed on him, and he didn't have much time to waste on getting close to others.
Very soon, the martial pagoda opened.
According to the order of entry, Feng Lin walked into a spacious room. The surroundings were empty, and there was nothing at all.
"Is this the illusory martial pagoda? I wonder what it's like? " This illusory martial system was the pinnacle of interstellar technology. This was Feng Lin's first time here, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Suddenly, the light dimmed, and he couldn't even see his fingers.
Beams of light gathered from all directions, intertwining in the air like shooting stars, forming all sorts of illusions. A 30-level pagoda appeared before him.
This was an illusory space constructed from energy.
"Energy gathering complete. The illusory martial pagoda will officially open! Third-year student Feng Lin, who has no previous record of entering the pagoda, will start from the first level! "A mechanical voice rang out.
The illusory martial pagoda had 30 levels. The higher one went, the higher the difficulty would be. It was like a checkpoint, and one had to clear many levels before they could enter the higher levels.
The level that everyone reached would be recorded by the core A.I. of the martial pagoda. The next time they entered, they would have to start from where they left off, all the way until they reached the top.
As Feng Lin had never been here before, he had to start from the first level this time around.
This was exactly what he wanted.
He had to start from the lowest level, get a clear understanding of the illusory martial pagoda, and then break through step by step.
The door to the first level opened silently.
Feng Lin walked in, and the scenery changed. It was as if he had entered a brand new world.
This was a martial arts field, and a burly man stood in the middle of it. His whole body gave off a powerful and threatening aura, and he wore an ancient-looking cyan robe.
Without a doubt, this was an ancient person from Earth's feudal era.
When Feng Lin walked over, his eyes suddenly opened, and he exuded a powerful aura.
"Hong Fist's seventh generation successor, Hong Gang! Please enlighten me! "He cupped his hands as if he was a living person.
"Please!" Feng Lin also cupped his hands, treating him seriously.
After the greeting, the two of them started to fight.
Ha!
Hong Gang exhaled and suddenly took a step forward. His steps were like wind and thunder, and he punched out.
This earth-shattering punch only took an instant to turn from stillness to movement.
What did it mean to be as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit? This punch was extremely clear.
Lunge Strike!
Horse Stance Butterfly Palm!
Reverse Elbow Strike!
…
Hong Fist was an ancient Huaxia fist technique. It was incomparably ferocious. Once it was activated, the moves would be like flowing mercury, making it hard for one to dodge.
Hong Gang was clearly a martial arts expert who was well-versed in Hong Fist. His moves were as ferocious as a tiger's.
This was Feng Lin's first time in actual combat, and he had no experience. He was immediately restrained and appeared to be in a very sorry state.
After three consecutive exchanges, he didn't gain the slightest advantage. He suddenly exerted force and instantly jumped ten steps away, increasing the distance between them. He also got into a fighting stance.
Military Fist!
As a student with an ordinary background, he couldn't learn any precious genetic martial arts.
This military fist was just a body-strengthening martial art that the school taught students for free. The moves were concise and effective, and they were extremely lethal.
Feng Lin leaped up and fought with his opponent to the end. He was having a great time.
In terms of proficiency in moves and grasp of timing, Feng Lin wasn't Hong Gang's match at all. However, he also discovered something strange.
Hong Gang's speed and strength were far inferior to his.
After thinking for a while, he discovered the reason.
It turned out that for every level in the tower, the virtual martial arts master's vitality would increase by 0.1.
As the guardian of the first level, Hong Gang's vitality was only 0.1, which was the average of Ancient Earth's humans.
One strong man could defeat ten men.
Although Feng Lin's punches and kicks couldn't compare to Hong Gang's, he gradually suppressed his opponent with his powerful vitality.
As the battle progressed, his grasp of military fist became more and more proficient.
Although he had practiced many times before this, it was just for show. Now that he was in actual combat, he gained experience in martial arts at a much faster rate.
After the gene strengthening, his body was filled with vitality. His strength, speed, coordination … all of them far surpassed ordinary people. He also learned martial arts very quickly.
Gradually, he had completely grasped military fist and started to practice it to the bone.
At this time, his moves were no longer inferior to Hong Gang's. The suppression of his vitality made the battle gradually become boring.
Dragon-Snake Strangulation!
Feng Lin suddenly used the killing move of military fist. His body leaped into the air, and his legs were like a dragon and a snake. With a forceful twist, Hong Gang's energy body instantly exploded.
The door to the second level was already open.
