The First Round
[Andromeda Star System]
There is no cold steel and technology here; the entire Star System is like a dreamlike fairy tale world, composed of countless strange plants that emit a soft glow.
Beneath a Life Ancient Tree that spans almost half of the Star System, a woman dressed in a plain white dress, with an ethereal air and seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes, like the purest Glazed Crystal, reflected the profound truth of the universe's birth and death.
She is Luo Shenyue, the first Divine Maiden of Andromeda.
Unlike Xiao Wuming, she did not follow the traditional path of Martial Dao, but instead embarked on a more difficult and mysterious Pure Psychic Master Path, and also cultivated Immortal Golden Body.
She sensed the intense ripples in the laws of the universe caused by the changes in the college entrance examination rules. Her gaze seemed to pierce through the endless Star Sea, finally landing on the name [Chen Fan] on the Light Screen.
"Using Ten Thousand Dao as Furnace, I forge all techniques and bring them into my own body..."
Luo Shenyue murmured to herself, her voice as ethereal and beautiful as heavenly music.
"What an overbearing law, what an overbearing person. I wonder, between this and my 'Mind Wandering in the Great Void,' which is stronger?"
In her eyes, Chen Fan was not a mortal enemy, but more like a "fellow Daoist" with whom she could mutually verify each other's paths.
It was her good fortune to be able to compete with such a figure in the same era.
The third scene is filled with wildness and violence.
[Kirin Beta Star System].
A hellish planet whose surface is covered by crimson magma and whose gravity is more than a hundred times that of Blue Star.
A burly man, nearly three meters tall, with muscles bulging like granite and ancient war totems branded on his skin, was bathing bare-handed in volcanic lava erupting from the earth's core, letting the torrent, powerful enough to Deity Transformation metal, wash over his formidable body.
"Boom!"
With a single punch, he used pure physical strength to blast a massive lava rock, the size of a small mountain, into countless fragments.
He is none other than Lei Pojun, the top Prodigies of the Qilin Constellation Star System!
When the news of the new college entrance examination regulations reached his ears through an encrypted channel, he showed no sign of seriousness; instead, he looked up at the sky and let out a wild laugh that shook the heavens and the earth.
"Haha! Good! Good! Good!"
"Number one on the Bone Tempering Rankings? Slayed Mozi Sha? Newly promoted to the Golden Body Realm?"
"Finally, a guy I can have a good fight with!"
Lei Pojun stepped out of the lava, his large, copper-bell-shaped eyes burning with an intense, pure fighting spirit.
Within just a few hours.
The news thoroughly alarmed countless top Prodigies in the four Star Systems of the Human Federation, who had already announced their presence or were in seclusion in secret realms.
They may have illustrious backgrounds, born with everything; they may have had extraordinary encounters and obtained ancient inheritances; or they may be Lei Pojun, unparalleled villains who fought their way out of Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood.
Without exception, they were all powerful figures who had already reached the Golden Body Realm, and were invincible beings who had suppressed a generation in their respective Star Systems, making their peers unable to raise their heads!
They acknowledged Chen Fan's impressive record, but they were even more convinced that their own path was the strongest in the world!
In their eyes, Chen Fan the best whetstone, the Final Trial to examine their own path to enlightenment.
At the same time, it is also the most lucrative spoils!
Defeating him and seizing the top spot would be tantamount to declaring to the entire universe that one is the sole king among the younger generation of the Human Federation!
Following the announcement by the Federation Ministry of Education, the First Stage of the College Entrance Exam [Basic Assessment] will officially begin 24 hours after Federation Standard Time.
All qualified candidates, whether renowned or unknown, received a notification to log in to the Ultimate Virtual Reality [Star Domain] at the same time.
Federation Standard Time, 0:00.
"Clang"
A grand and solemn bell tolled, seemingly transcending the boundaries of time and space, resounding in every corner of the four Star Systems of the Human Federation at the same moment, announcing the official start of this unprecedented college entrance examination that has captured the attention of Ten Thousand Races.
Inside the villa at the Prodigies Training Camp.
Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan stood side by side.
Gu Ci's cold gaze swept across the four faces one by one, finally settling on Chen Fan, his voice as cold as ever.
"Within [the Star Domain], your every move will be seen by the entire universe."
"Go."
The four of them didn't say much, but simply nodded solemnly.
The next instant, they simultaneously activated the [Star Domain] login program on their Personal Computers.
Four soft beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping them. When the light dissipated, the villa was empty; their consciousness was instantly drawn to that Ultimate Virtual Reality.
The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting.
Chen Fan's consciousness coalesced in a pure white, boundless space, still resembling that of an eleven-year-old child.
The cold, emotionless mechanical voice rang in my ears right on time.
[Welcome to "Star Domain," examinee Chen Fan.]
[First Tier Assessment: Comprehensive Basic Theory Assessment, about to begin.]
Before he could finish speaking, a huge Light Screen suddenly unfolded in front of Chen Fan.
The exam subjects were listed densely, the font so small they resembled a swarm of ants.
"A Ten-Thousand -Ten-Thousand-Year Evolution of Human Race Martial Dao," "Illustrated Guide to the Hundred Great Alien Races, Volume One," "Introduction to Universal Cosmic Formations," "Introduction to Alchemy," "History of the Federation Wars: Three Hundred Years of Blood and Fire," "Fundamentals of Starship Dynamics"...
Bao Luoyongzhen's breadth and depth are enough to make even the most self-proclaimed erudite academic genius feel their scalp tingle.
Almost simultaneously, hundreds of millions of official live streams were launched on the Human Federation Star Net.
Each candidate's name corresponds to a separate live streaming channel.
The number of viewers in [Chen Fan's] live stream jumped at an alarming rate the moment it started.
10 billion! 100 billion! 1 trillion!
In just three seconds, it surged to the top of the overall leaderboard, leaving the second-place player far behind and creating an insurmountable gap.
In terms of popularity, it's far ahead!
The screen displays a huge leaderboard showing the real-time scores of all test takers.
The signal for the start of the assessment has been activated.
The scores of countless test takers began to rise at varying frequencies.
In the center of the frame, the figure that was the focus of countless cameras remained with his hands in his pockets, curiously surveying the pure white space around him, as if he were there for sightseeing.
His score remained unchanged.
[Chen Fan: 0 points]
Inside the live stream, the pent-up comments exploded instantly.
"It's starting! It's starting! Holy crap, why isn't Chen Fan moving? Is there a login error?"
"Impossible! I bet he doesn't know it at all! He's only eleven years old, he's been fighting his way through life, how could he have had time to learn these theoretical things?"
"That makes sense! Incredible combat power is one thing, but the college entrance exam tests overall abilities! This time, the number one on the Myriad Laws Ranking is probably going to suffer a major setback!"
