17: arrival

When Lin Chen arrived at school, the entire school gate was crowded with parents.

Today was also the day of the Martial Arts University entrance exam for all high school seniors in the Federation.

They were waiting for their children to achieve good results.

The Martial Arts University entrance exam was a chance to change one's fate in this world!

"Look, Lin Chen is here!"

Many high school seniors at the gate looked at Lin Chen with expressions of admiration and envy.

Lin Chen arrived in the classroom and found that all the students had gathered.

Strangely, Qin Yu had not come.

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

Seeing Lin Chen arrive, the previously noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.

They greeted Lin Chen one after another.

Among them were Qin Yu's former followers.

Lin Chen was not the type to hold grudges, so he smiled and nodded in response.

"Brother Chen, you're here. Are we going to Modu Martial University today?"

The little fatty walked over with a grin and said.

Lin Chen was very happy for Li Tiexiong when he saw that he had actually reached the Martial Artist Late Stage.

"Xiongzi, what Realm is your Cultivation Technique at?"

"Brother Chen, it's all thanks to the 2 million federal currency you lent me."

"After I had a Breakthrough in my Realm, Teacher Yang gave me individual guidance every day. Finally, the day before the exam, my Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement."

The little fatty said with an excited expression.

"Not bad. Train hard at the Martial Arts University. I hope that the next time I see you, you can give me a surprise."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I definitely won't let you down."

"Lin Chen, long time no see. The three of us all come from humble backgrounds; I didn't expect you to be able to get into a prestigious university in the end."

Zhang Li, who wore a ponytail, walked up to Lin Chen and said with a smile.

Zhang Li was extremely sweet-looking, giving off the feeling of a girl next door.

"You're not bad yourself. You're about to have a Breakthrough to the Martial Artist Realm, right?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then took two small bags out of his spatial ring and handed them to Li Tiexiong and Zhang Li.

Inside each were 10 First Stage Early Stage exotic beast life cores.

The little fatty opened it and was shocked.

"Bro... Brother Chen, this..."

Zhang Li was also filled with shock upon seeing them.

She had the sponsorship of the Beichen Martial Arts Hall, so naturally, her knowledge was broader than Li Tiexiong's.

A single First Stage Early Stage life core was worth 5 million federal currency!

A Martial Artist Realm cultivator could also quickly open their acupoints by absorbing life cores.

"Take them. Don't make a scene; consider it a loan from me."

Li Tiexiong nodded solemnly.

Zhang Li also smiled sweetly and said: "Thanks, Lin Chen."

Lin Chen smiled and patted the little fatty's shoulder.

After this parting, Lin Chen estimated that he wouldn't be coming back.

"Xiao Lin, the person coming to pick you up is here."

Yang Tianba shouted from the doorway.

Immediately after, Lin Chen said goodbye to the two of them and arrived at the playground.

Lin Chen glanced over.

He saw a huge spaceship docked there.

The boarding gate had already been lowered.

A middle-aged man wearing a purple combat uniform flew towards Lin Chen.

He arrived in front of Lin Chen and the others in an instant.

Sensing the aura coming from the man.

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly.

Martial King Realm!

This was his first time facing a human Martial King Realm powerhouse head-on.

He felt that.

This person's strength definitely surpassed that of the Blazing Ape!

"Huh! You've actually already reached the Martial Artist Late Stage!"

The man looked at Lin Chen with surprise in his eyes.

Yang Tianba, who was beside them, showed a look of shock.

However, he recovered in an instant; he was already becoming immune to Lin Chen.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain on this trip."

"I am the teacher responsible for picking you up this time; you can call me Teacher Tian."

"Come with me; you're the last one."

Seeing this, Lin Chen said goodbye to Yang Tianba and turned to follow Teacher Tian onto the spaceship.

Once on the spaceship, Lin Chen found that there were already forty or fifty students.

They must be from other cities, Lin Chen thought to himself.

Lin Chen found a seat and sat down.

At this moment.

A girl wearing a red D-rank combat uniform.

With red hair and a hot figure, the female student walked over to Lin Chen, sat down, and said:

"My name is Chen Lanxin, and I'm also from Su City. So you are Lin Chen."

Lin Chen looked at the curvaceous Chen Lanxin and greeted her with a smile:

"Yes, that's me."

Chen Lanxin's first time seeing Lin Chen, and she observed him curiously with her beautiful eyes.

She had heard that Qin Yu's spot had been taken by someone from a poor family.

And that he had even been beaten by Lin Chen to the point of giving up his spot in Su City.

And had gone to a remote city like Beihai City to snatch a spot there.

This made her very curious.

"I heard that this trial is going to the Other World. Since we are from the same city, we should help each other when the time comes."

Chen Lanxin said with a sweet smile.

"Other World?"

Lin Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, my cousin is also from Modu Martial University, and he said that his batch went to the Other World for the trial."

Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully and said:

"No problem, let's help each other."

At this moment, Lin Chen felt an icy gaze directed at him.

He turned his head to look.

He saw a young man wearing a black D-rank combat uniform looking at him with a playful expression on his lips, full of provocation.

"He is Jiang Li; his father is the mayor of Su City. He thinks very highly of himself, so just ignore him."

Chen Lanxin said from the side.

Lin Chen didn't take it to heart.

For people like this, if they were courting death, he wouldn't mind dealing with them along the way.

The spaceship was very fast, and an hour later, they arrived in Modu.

Modu Martial University was not actually in Modu.

It was 100 kilometers away from Modu.

Because there was a stable Other World spatial passage here!

The entire Modu Martial University guarded this passage.

Moreover, a large area of the Other World on the other side of the passage had also been occupied by Modu Martial University!

Boom!

The spaceship landed at a giant landing point.

After getting off the spaceship, Lin Chen noticed other spaceships landing one after another.

In the Federation's five major regions, each region had at least 200 cities, with three spots per city.

This meant that there were about 2,000 students participating in the trial for one prestigious university.

Each teacher picked up 50 students.

The team leaders were all in the Martial King Realm.

That meant there were at least 40 Martial King Realm powerhouses!

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

No wonder they were the two great prestigious universities; their foundation was extremely strong.

Powerhouses in the Martial King Realm, who were rarely seen, were actually so numerous here.

"The five major regions; some are further away and won't arrive until the afternoon."

"Today, you will stay in the temporary accommodation prepared for you by the university."

"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, all students participating in the trial must gather at the playground on time."

Lin Chen looked up and could see a giant vortex in the sky in the distance, at least 2 kilometers in diameter.

Spaceships were flying in and out from time to time.

"Other World spatial passage!"

Lin Chen was shocked in his heart.

This was also his first time seeing a spatial passage in reality.

He didn't expect it to be so huge.

There were five such huge spatial passages in the entire Federation!

Each of the five major regions guarded one.

Each spatial passage connected to one of the five major domains of the Other World!

Tomorrow, he would enter the Other World with his real body.

Lin Chen also felt a strange sensation in his heart.

After all, usually with Dreamland Traversal, he ignored death.

This time, it was different.

If he encountered danger and died in the Other World this time, he would really be gone.

However, he felt no fear; his eyes were boiling with Battle Intent!

Lin Chen followed the main group to stay at the temporary accommodation, waiting quietly for the trial to begin tomorrow.

...

Modu.

In a secret room 100 meters underground.

Five people wearing black robes stood together.

Their eyes looked fervently at a purple-robed figure on the main seat.

"Envoy Leng, this is the list of Genius levels collected from the area I am responsible for."

Then, the remaining four also handed over their respective lists.

"3 S-rank geniuses, 15 A-rank geniuses, 32 B-rank geniuses."

"Not bad, you have done very well. I will report to the Blood Moon Cult Leader and grant each of you a Fifth Stage exotic fruit!"

Seeing this, the five people were ecstatic and said: "Many thanks, Lord Envoy."

The Purple-Robed Envoy looked at the list again and said:

"This time, the Genius strangulation plan will be assisted by the Spirit Race."

"The primary target is to kill these S-rank and A-rank Federation geniuses."

"The plan must not fail!"

"Understood!"

Then, the few black-robed people left the secret room.

Envoy Leng leaned back in his chair.

He was wiping an S-rank curved scimitar in his hand.

His gaze, tinged with a hint of bloodthirst, looked at the S-rank Genius list.

"Interesting."
