Chapter 184: All’s Fair in War, No One Objects!

No one objected!
The general’s words might sound calm, but it was extremely domineering and left no room for discussion.
Who would be so foolish as to find trouble for themselves?
Judging by the general’s domineering disposition, once objections were raised, the person would be chased out. Moreover, they would lose the precious quota to apply to the Cosmos Universities.
The general took a glance around the place and nodded, grinning without reservations. “Then the tests start now! Kids, enter one by one. My subordinates can no longer wait!”
With a bellow, the candidates from the various schools entered in succession.
Feng Lin nodded toward Earth High School’s principal and followed the crowd to enter the Earth’s Cultivation Association.
Under the A.I.’s guidance, he entered a confined but spacious room. The surrounding walls were all made from metal, and there were no gaps at all.
A burly figure, who was over two meters tall, had been standing there and waiting for a while.
“You’re Feng Lin? I’ve been waiting for you!” The interstellar cultivator turned around and threw a casual glance toward Feng Lin, sluggishly waving his hand. His expression appeared to be unbridled as if asking Feng Lin to freely demonstrate his capabilities.
His posture was sluggish, not putting up any defense at all. It was as if he didn’t give the slightest regard to Feng Lin.
Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed. He was neither infuriated nor deceived by the acting.
He realized that even though this interstellar cultivator appeared careless, his body was relaxed and powers were gathered in his body secretly. The man appeared very steady and was raring to go.
The moment Feng Lin fell for his act and moved recklessly, what awaited him would be a strike that was quick as lightning. Feng Lin would end up falling for the other party’s trap.
These words, which made it seem as if the man was looking down on Feng Lin, were just his attempt to numb Feng Lin and make him careless.
After understanding the crucial point, the corners of Feng Lin’s lips curled up into a hint of a smile. He wasn’t shocked but was gladdened instead. This was interesting...
All’s fair in a battle!
As expected of interstellar cultivators. They were well-versed in battles and didn’t have any useless rules!
In real battles, there was no fairness. Any means could be used, including hidden weapons, poison, and firearms...
Regardless if it was open and aboveboard means or vicious and low-handed means, as long as one could emerge victorious, then that would be a good means to choose!
In a life or death battle, who would care about the rules?
That’s pedantry!
The people who had survived were the winners.
History had also been written by the winners.
Seeing that this interstellar cultivator’s gaze was filled with ridicule and judgment, yet still feigning a relaxed and careless condition, Feng Lin let out a cold smile. He said outright, “Stop with the act! This move is useless against me! Would a warrior who is well-experienced in warfare underestimate their enemies? It won’t be just a humiliation toward your strength, but also underestimating other people’s intellect!”
Hearing Feng Lin say that, the interstellar cultivator immediately turned solemn, and a gleam shot out from his eyes. There was no longer the laid back attitude he had had before!
His gaze locked onto Feng Lin, taking a long look at him. He then said in a deep voice, “You’re different, pretty different from those students. You aren’t a newbie in battles! It seems that you’ve also experienced life and death battles, with rich battle experiences. When those students saw my attitude, they all think that there’s an opportunity to take advantage of. In the end, all of them were taken care of instantly! You’re the only exception!”
Feng Lin smiled and didn’t reply.
He had gained his battle prowess from the fights in Mars’s internal war. He had fought even against elite cultivators, so how could ordinary people who grew up living sheltered lifestyles be able to compare against him?
He didn’t care to explain himself and merely put up a stance, forming yin and yang with his palms, like two sides of a mirror. They contained many different changes and make it hard for others to grasp.
When the interstellar cultivator saw Feng Lin like this, he knew that this student wouldn’t be easy to deal with. His palms took on claw-shape and placed before his chest, taking on the form of a ferocious tiger.
He grinned and the flesh on his face trembled as if he was a savage tiger. “You guys on Earth don’t know how big the universe is! My ancient martial art is a high-grade low-tier genetic martial art—Star Tiger Killing Fist! It imitates a ferocious beast in the universe—Black Star Scaled Tiger. Be careful!”
“Stop with the crap, if you want to battle, then let’s get on with it!” Seeing that the man was blabbering on, Feng Lin couldn’t be bothered to continue listening. In an actual battle, who would reveal their details to the opponent? When a warrior did something like this, it made Feng Lin even more furious.
Feng Lin didn’t bother to speak any crap and stomped down heavily on the ground, turning into an afterimage and shot out elusively.
The interstellar cultivator’s eyes glared wide-open, feeling infuriated.
He gave Feng Lin guidance out of goodwill but was ignored. Feng Lin really didn’t know what was good for him.
However, the more this was so, the more he didn’t lose his cool. Instead, he became increasingly wary against Feng Lin.
Having rich battle experiences, he understood that people like Feng Lin were the strong people who had experienced the flames of war and were difficult to deal with. He mustn’t treat Feng Lin as an ordinary student, else he might suffer.
If he was defeated by the first student he came across, wouldn’t he be ridiculed by his comrades forever? It’d become a taint in his entire life!
Star Tiger Black Claw!
He let out an enraged bellow and made a move. Using his ten fingers as claws, he tore the space and condensed strong gales rapidly. The color of the gales deepened, changing from being colorless to yellow and eventually black.
The black wind formed dangerous-looking claw imprints. The powerful, sharp force of the wind could tear through space, creating a shrill sound that threatened to break one’s eardrums.
Feng Lin’s figure paused slightly in the air before his legs swept out like Wheels of Wind and Fire. Feng Lin dispersed the black wind, his attack reaching the opponent despite being the one to make the later move. Silver light flashed on his forehead, and his spirit force swept out like a tempest. It curled up in the air, forming a wave that could be seen by the naked eye. All of a sudden, the wave was released explosively.
The interstellar cultivator felt as if his soul had been struck by an invisible fist. His body trembled slightly and his eyes entered a daze.
Right at this moment, Feng Lin got close to the man with great speed. His two hands were like the spinning yin and yang, like butterflies moving between flowers, forming a variety of changes that unknowingly attracted one’s attention. The person would be engulfed by a black hole and continue to sink deeper, unable to draw himself out.
Yin Yang Fantasy!
Charming the opponent, Feng Lin’s hands moved very quickly and slapped fiercely toward the man’s temples. His movements were quick as lightning, bursting out instantly and viciously. He wanted to take down this opponent with a single blow.
The wind formed from the palm attack was fierce.
Ha!
The interstellar cultivator had plenty of experience on the battlefield. And under the baptism of war and blood, his battle prowess was extremely powerful. When he sensed that something wasn’t right, he let out an explosive bellow. At this moment, his eyes turned beastly red, and ferocious bone-chilling aura rose to the top. He forcibly broke through the illusions.
Hiss!
His claw art was now sharper and fiercer. His expression was so savage that he was like the Asura who had crawled out from the hell, wanting to tear Feng Lin—a person who dared to offend him—into dust.
The fists and claws clashed!
Feng Lin felt a majestic power gushing over and he quickly retreated.
The interstellar cultivator had just retaliated, so how could he possibly allow Feng Lin to back off easily? He pounced forth like a ferocious tiger, unwilling to give up until he achieved his goals!
All the muscles on his body bulged and he arched forward. A mysterious ice-cold aura distorted the space, forming an indistinct image of a savage tiger.
Even though Feng Lin’s character was tenacious, he was also stunned for a short moment. His spirit force was scattered and a cowardly emotion rose uncontrollably. He didn’t dare to resist.
What kind of power was this?
To think that it could interfere with mental energy, even his mental hypnosis was useless!
Feng Lin was taken by surprise, and he suddenly thought of cultivation knowledge that only a few people knew about.
This was...
Bloody baleful aura!
