Star River Martial Academy

Led by Zhao Lin, all the candidates who chose to hold their ground turned deathly pale in an instant.

Their so-called rationality and self-righteous sense of the big picture have been proven to be nothing more than a self-comforting lie in the face of this cruel reality and ironclad laws.

At this moment, his Dao Heart crumbled inch by inch.

The majestic gaze of the Heaven-Slaying Martial God lingered briefly on Chen Fan, and a barely perceptible hint of approval flashed deep within his eyes, which held the very essence of the birth and death of galaxies.

He didn't say anything more.

With a wave of his sleeve, an irresistible spatial force instantly enveloped everyone.

The real Starry Battlefield before them was stripped away like a shattered mirror, and in the next instant, everyone was back in the original virtual world, on that pure white, flawless initial platform.

Boom!

As all the examinees returned, the long-silent Heavenly Dao Stele in the center of the platform roared once more, and a beam of golden light shot into the sky.

The final results of the Federation College Entrance Examination are in!

Everyone's name is inscribed on the monument, but everyone's gaze is unconsciously drawn to the highest point.

There, the name "[Chen Fan]" hangs at the top of the list like an eternal, blazing sun, with a dazzling, domineering golden light that seems to rise in a discontinuous line.

Top Scholar!

The top scorer in this year's Federation College Entrance Examination exam is undoubtedly deserving of the honor!

The message traveled through the Star Network that spans the universe, reaching every corner of the entire Human Federation simultaneously.

After a brief silence, an unprecedented celebration and frenzy ensued!

"Top scholar! Chen Fan the top scholar of our Blue Star!"

"He's more than just a top scholar! He's a legend who dominated an entire era!"

"Witnessing history! We are all witnessing history!"

The virtual world is fading out, and the light and shadow are shifting.

When Chen Fan opened his eyes again, he, Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan, and Su Qingyue were already back in the familiar square of the Blue Star Training Camp.

The afternoon sun was warm and gentle, a stark contrast to the cold and desolate atmosphere of the Starry Battlefield.

The other trainees in the Training Camp had already watched the entire event via live stream.

At this moment, the way they looked at Chen Fan had completely changed.

There was no more jealousy, no more resentment, not even any more admiration.

It was a kind of pure awe and fervor that one could only feel when looking up at a young deity walking among the earth.

At the edge of the square, a figure in white stood quietly.

Instructor Gu Ci.

He looked at the student who still looked like a child, yawning lazily as if he had just taken a nap, and his eyes were filled with extremely complicated emotions.

I feel the immense pride of my family's unicorn growing up.

There's also a hint of... a sense of melancholy that the student has surpassed the master, to the point of being excessively good.

"The three of you should go back and calm your minds. What you have seen and heard today will greatly benefit your future."

Gu Ci waved his hand, signaling Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan, and Su Qingyue to leave first.

The three bowed respectfully, and before leaving, they all gave Chen Fan a complicated look, then quickly departed.

Only the master and his apprentice remained in the vast square.

Gu Ci walked to Chen Fan's side, and the two stood side by side watching the sunset in the distance. After a long silence, the usually carefree and unrestrained swordsman finally raised his hand and patted Chen Fan's shoulder somewhat stiffly.

He forced a smile, a bitter one that looked more like a grimace.

"You little rascal..."

"From today onwards, I... have nothing more to teach you."

His voice carried a hint of melancholy that he himself was unaware of.

He explained that Chen Fan had now forged Golden Body and entered the realm of immortality. Whether it was his control over power or his understanding of the laws of Martial Dao, he had long surpassed him, his teacher.

The small pond of the Training Camp could no longer contain this true dragon that had crossed the river.

The road ahead requires a wider world.

"The college entrance exam is over. Next, it's time to choose Martial Academy."

Gu Ci composed himself and steered the conversation back on track.

"The Human Federation has four supreme Martial Dao academies, each guarding one of the four major Star Domain. They are the cradle for cultivating the strongest warriors of our Human Race."

"Heavenly Sword Martial Academy, Nine Provinces Martial Academy, Canghai Martial Academy, and... Star River Martial Academy."

When he mentioned the last name, Gu Ci's tone became noticeably more forceful.

"Star River Martial Academy, located in the Federation Capital Star System, is the top of the Four Great Martial Academies and also the alma mater of White Emperor."

"That place gathers the most outstanding and monstrous geniuses from tens of thousands of Star Systems across the Human Race. Each one is Fortune and is an unparalleled figure who can suppress a region. If nothing unexpected happens, Lei Pojun, Xiao Wuming, Luo Shenyue from your year will also enter the Star River Martial Academy."

Gu Ci's tone became casual, as if he were chatting about everyday things.

The competition is far fiercer than you can imagine.

"Oh, right." He added casually, as if suddenly remembering something, "The eldest son of the Xiao Family, named... Xiao Beixuan, got into the Star River Martial Academy."

"Come to think of it, he should be your senior now."

Xiao Beixuan.

A name that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

A playful smile finally appeared on Chen Fan's face.

"Oh? He went to the Star River Martial Academy too...?"

Gu Ci, being the person he was, instantly caught this emotional fluctuation and immediately understood.

He continued, "The Heavenly Sword Martial Academy specializes in swordsmanship. Over the past ten thousand years, it has produced countless unparalleled Sword Immortals, each of whom once dominated an era with their swords."

"The Nine Provinces Martial Academy boasts the oldest tradition, mastering formations and Ancient Body Techniques. It is said that its signature technique points directly to the ultimate secret of Fleshly Sainthood."

"The Canghai Martial Academy is a sacred place for Psychic Master and Elemental Controllers, whose methods are unpredictable and can kill without leaving a trace."

Gu Ci spoke slowly, but every word was clearly audible to Chen Fan.

"But the Star River Martial Academy is different."

His tone suddenly became extremely solemn.

"It encompasses Yongzhen and possesses the Federation's top resources. Most importantly..." Gu Ci's gaze was fixed on Chen Fan, emphasizing each word, "Only the density of monsters there is worthy of a true dragon crossing the river like you."

The implication is that other places are too small for you.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan lazily stretched, his joints making a series of soft cracking sounds.

He nodded and casually said, "Okay, let's go to Xinghe then."

"It sounds... like it won't be too boring."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Without warning, the sky above the Training Camp darkened.

It's not that dark clouds are obscuring the sun, but rather a deeper kind of gloom originating from the Spatial Law.

Four distinct yet equally vast and powerful auras, like four invisible divine Divine Mountains, slowly pressed down from the heavens.

Those students who had just been gazing at Chen Fan with fervent admiration, including several instructors at the Golden Body Realm, were now deathly pale, their bodies stiffening uncontrollably, and even moving a finger had become a luxury.

That's absolute suppression on a life level!
