184 All’s Fair in War, No One Objects! (1/2)
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.
