"The annual college examinations are around the corner. This is a chance for every interstellar resident to change their fate. Each person only has one chance in their lifetime. Whether you're a dragon or a bug, you'll know in one examination. Your fate will be turned upside down from then on. Some people will soar into the sky and be high and mighty from then on, some will fall into the dust and remain unknown for the rest of their lives … "
In the classroom, a capable middle-aged lady dressed in black stood on the rostrum and lectured.
A group of students sat below, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Feng Lin listened quietly.
Even after so many years, humanity had entered the Interstellar Era and technology had developed to the peak, allowing people to travel through millions of light years through wormholes. However, the ancient examination format of the college examinations hadn't disappeared. Instead, it had been completely preserved and had been upgraded.
The scope of the examination was beyond imagination, covering the entire Interstellar Era.
As a weapon to break through the barriers of innate social classes, the college examinations naturally had their own reasons for existing.
"This year's qualification examination is the first school-wide mock examination before the college examinations. Only those who pass the mock examination will be qualified to participate in the college examinations. If you can't even pass the mock examination, then don't participate in the college examinations and embarrass yourselves. You'll even drag down our school's enrolment rate! " The female head teacher said sternly. Her gaze swept across the crowd, stopping especially on Feng Lin and a few other students. The meaning of her warning was self-evident.
The annual college examinations of all Interstellar Era humans weren't a joke. Billions of people were crossing a single-log bridge, and if one didn't have outstanding results, they would be sending themselves to death.
The school definitely wouldn't allow those good-for-nothing scums to go up and waste the precious college examinations slots, ruining the school's reputation.
The other students were also gloating at this scene.
Feng Lin clenched his fists tightly before slowly releasing them.
If it was in the past, he might still be filled with indignation. But now, he was calm.
As someone who had died once, his heart was no longer as fragile as before.
He was even more confident in himself.
His vitality stat was 1.5, and he had long surpassed most of his peers. Why did he have to make himself suffer so much?
The increase in his strength had also made his mental state much more mature.
These scheming actions were extremely childish in his eyes.
If these people still thought that he was the original Feng Lin, he would definitely give them a shock later.
"In order to obtain better results in the college examinations, the top three in each class will have the chance to enter the illusory martial pagoda for free training!" The head teacher threw out another piece of big news.
The entire class was instantly shaken.
"To think that it's the Illusory Martial Pagoda!"
"The one with a virtual martial dao master?"
"The school is really bleeding a lot this time!"
…
Every single one of their faces was filled with unconcealable excitement and eagerness to give it a try.
This Illusory Martial Pagoda was an Illusory martial system unique to Earth High School. It combined the combat techniques of countless martial dao masters and simulated them through the A.I., using energy to construct a virtual space.
From the outside, it looked like a tower with thirty floors. Each floor of the tower had a simulated martial dao master, which was exactly the same as the real person and had similar abilities.
With each level, the martial dao master's standard would be higher, and the difficulty would be higher by one level.
Through battling with illusory martial dao masters, one would be able to greatly increase one's combat experience. One's understanding and mastery of genetic abilities would also increase rapidly.
However, activating the system required a large amount of energy. Activating it once required hundreds of thousands of Star Coins. Under normal circumstances, he really could not afford to activate it.
Usually, students could only enter the training at their own expense. Every time they trained, they would have to pay ten thousand star coins. Only those students from rich families could afford it.
Being able to enter the Illusory Martial Pagoda for training was something that most students could only dream of.
However, they didn't expect the school to be so impressive this time around, actually giving out three free slots for each class. Everyone was excited. Those who had the ability to compete for the top three spots were determined to get it.
"Now, let the literary examination begin!"
As the head-teacher announced, the examination officially began.
Different from the Earth Era, the college examinations in the Interstellar Era were only divided into two subjects, the literary examination and the martial examination.
The literary examination tested all the theoretical knowledge in books, including literature, history, mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, psychology, law, astronomy …
Also, the form of the literary examination was completely different from the college examinations in the Ancient Earth Era. There was no such thing as full marks, only high marks, high marks, and even higher marks. In theory, there was no upper limit to the marks.
In the Interstellar Era, due to the increase in the vitality of humans, their intelligence was greatly developed, and their thoughts were incomparably sharp. The difficulty of the literary examination was also extremely high, but there was no limit to the number of questions. The A.I. would randomly generate a set of questions, and everyone would have to answer them within two hours. Each question would be worth one point, and the more questions answered correctly, the higher the score.
Because there was no upper limit to the score, the difference between the scores of the top students and the bottom students was extremely great. It was very normal for it to be over ten times higher.
As for the martial examination, it was to test one's cultivation. It was an examination regarding mythological genes.
The qualification examination was the first mock examination before the college examinations, and it was also the most important mock examination. It concerned everyone's qualifications to participate in the college examinations, and no one dared to be careless.
The first round was the literary examination.
There was a floating holographic projection in front of everyone, and the content of the examination flowed down like a waterfall.
A vitality of 1.5 wasn't a joke. Not only did it increase the overall quality of one's body, but their memory and thinking abilities also improved by leaps and bounds.
Their thoughts sped up, and they would instantly understand the knowledge points that they usually couldn't understand. As for those difficult questions, they would be able to know the answers with just a glance.
Was this the change brought about by a breakthrough in vitality?
Feng Lin was secretly happy, but his hands didn't stop.
The brains of humans in the Interstellar Era were highly developed, and their intellect far surpassed one's imagination. The knowledge they learned was also extremely complicated.
General relativity, quantum mechanics, chaos theory … These were all difficult theories that were familiar in the Ancient Earth Era, but now, they were just common knowledge that every high school student had to learn. However, these weren't the most difficult part of the examination.
The most difficult part of the literary examination was the theory of mythological knowledge.
After ten thousand years of technological development, more than half of the mythological knowledge of the Ancient Earth Era had been lost. Now, humans could only pry into some fragments of mythological knowledge from ancient and dilapidated books.
The vast expanse of blankness could only depend on one's own exploration and restoration. There were all sorts of theories and schools of thought, and the logic was often self-contradictory, causing one to feel dizzy.
Hence, the mythological knowledge of high school subjects was the most troublesome.
All the students present frowned, and their faces were filled with bitterness.
Only Feng Lin sat there calmly, with a relaxed expression on his face.
To someone from the past, all of this was common knowledge.
Thankfully, the original owner of this body was extremely hardworking. Although his vitality wasn't high, he had a good grasp of the theoretical knowledge in books.
Feng Lin had inherited the memories of the original owner of this body, and it could be said that he had a great advantage. His theoretical foundation wasn't bad, and he was able to answer all the questions regarding various subjects.
When it came to the questions regarding mythological knowledge, that was what he was most proficient in.
"List the twelve main gods of the Olympian God Mountain? Also, clarify the relationship between the divine positions. This is simple. King of Gods Zeus, Queen of Gods Hera, Goddess of War and Wisdom Athena, Sun God Apollo … "Feng Lin's pen flew.
"What's the final ending of the Norse God System? The world falls, the dusk of the gods, and everything ends! "Feng Lin smiled, his expression relaxed.
"Huaxia Mythology's Three Clear Ones and Four Royals?" This was a little difficult. The Huaxia Mythology's pedigree was very complicated, and each had their own explanations. Feng Lin thought about it and decided to give the most accepted explanation. "Three Clear Ones: Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord, Grand Clear Dao and Virtue Heavenly Lord, Prime Clear Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord. Four Emperors: Heaven Culmination Purple Tenuity Polaris Great Emperor, Southern Extremity Longevity Great Emperor, North Star Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor, Earth Queen."
…
Many questions poured down from the holographic projection. Feng Lin didn't hesitate and answered them one by one.
As his answering techniques became more and more proficient, the knowledge in his mind gushed out like a geyser, and his answering speed also increased.
However, he discovered that he didn't answer all the questions correctly. He only had a 70% accuracy rate.
Why was this so? What I know are the original versions of the myths and legends, so how can I be wrong? …
Feng Lin felt strange, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly understood.
So it wasn't that he had answered wrongly, but the standard answers were wrong.
More than half of the myths and legends of the various human civilizations in Ancient Earth had perished. Now, the knowledge of myths and legends was filled up step by step through the remnant words and fragments of myths and legends. There would often be mistakes and self-contradictions in knowledge.
The original answers were negated by this imitation of myths and legends!
Feng Lin also felt depressed, but he wouldn't stand out foolishly to refute it. If not, if others asked him how he knew, how would Feng Lin answer?
If he said that he knew all the myths and legends of Ancient Earth, he would definitely be dragged to be dissected.
Feng Lin wouldn't do such an unwise thing.
However, the examination was still ongoing. If he wanted to get a high score, he would have to rely on quantity to make up for his lack of accuracy.
Feng Lin focused fully and started answering the questions. His fingers moved faster and faster.
Often, when a new question appeared, he would immediately give an answer. His reaction speed was so fast that it left others speechless.
The questions flowed down like a waterfall.
This wasn't answering the questions. It was simply repeating the questions!
