From Mortal Body to Immortality

Skillfully settling into the virtual pod, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

Immediately, in the pitch-black field of vision, a gentle female voice echoed in Lu Sheng's ears.

“Candidate Lu Sheng, Admission Ticket Number: 5416857!”

“Location: Apocalypse Star, Qiming City, Yucai High School Examination Hall Number One.”

“Please confirm if the information is correct!”

“Confirmed!”

“Information confirmed. Candidate, please prepare. The examination is about to begin!”

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, adjusting to everything around him, reminiscing about the mental force from just now.

This wasn't Lu Sheng's first time entering the Taixu Star Realm, but when that mental force enveloped Lu Sheng, he didn't feel any discomfort.

He even felt somewhat comfortable.

Stretching his body, Lu Sheng noticed a wristwatch on his wrist, displaying a blank leaderboard.

“So—the rankings in the college entrance exam are presented in real-time? We candidates can also see the information on the leaderboard?”

Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, arousing his curiosity.

At the same time, as Lu Sheng entered the Taixu Star Realm, candidates from various planets also entered the Taixu Star Realm one after another, awaiting the start of the examination.

Those ordinary people and transcendents who were not participating in the college entrance examination also entered the live broadcast of the examination on their local planet through the link released on the Human Federation's official website.

However, the live broadcast only showed the leaderboard. Since the exam had not yet started, only the blank leaderboard could be seen.

As time passed little by little, the examination time soon arrived.

In the vast expanse of white, a light screen directly appeared in Lu Sheng's field of vision.

“Candidate Lu Sheng, the first round of this college entrance examination, the knowledge assessment, will now begin!”

“The total score for this assessment is one hundred points, with an additional one hundred points. After completing the knowledge questions, candidates can input the special knowledge they have mastered into the additional questions, which will be evaluated by the system!”

The familiar voice echoed in this vast expanse of white, and immediately, the first question appeared on the light screen.

“Please identify the object in the picture and answer within one minute!”

Next to the text was a high-definition picture.

In the picture, an extremely red flower gently swayed in the wind, like a flame, but if you looked closely, you could see a strand of golden thread inside the pistil.

Lu Sheng smiled when he saw the first question, raised his hand, and quickly answered.

“Blazing Flame Gold Silk Flower, a Tier 1 cultivation resource, can slightly increase the activity of Qi and blood, and is one of the main materials for refining the Tier 1 elixir Blazing Fire Pill!”

In fact, there was already a trap in this first question. The question said to identify the object in the picture, and most people would probably only write out the name of the object.

However—this was a cultivation resource. Identifying an object was not just as simple as its name; it also required writing out its rank and other information to be considered a complete identification.

If only the name was written, then there would be no points!

After all, for transcendents, recognizing cultivation resources and knowing their characteristics was a necessary skill!

As Lu Sheng began to answer, his score gradually increased.

Not only Lu Sheng, but also the candidates from the entire Apocalypse Star began to answer.

Their scores continued to rise, so much so that names constantly appeared on the blank leaderboard, but quickly disappeared from the leaderboard.

Only the top one thousand had the qualification to enter the leaderboard.

As a result, at the beginning, the rankings on the leaderboard changed very quickly. One second, a person might be in the top few dozen, and the next second, they would instantly fall to a few hundred.

After all, the speed of answering questions was also very important.

Of course, as time went on, when candidates gradually finished answering, these scores would gradually be finalized, and the rankings on the leaderboard would also be fixed.

The basic questions were not difficult for Lu Sheng. After all, being able to enter the Apocalypse Training Camp not only meant having a certain talent for cultivation, but also a high level of knowledge accumulation.

After about twenty minutes, Lu Sheng also completed all the questions, naturally achieving a perfect score in basic knowledge without exception.

However, getting a perfect score in basic knowledge was not particularly difficult. Basically, everyone on the leaderboard had achieved a perfect score.

Lu Sheng was only ranked in the two hundredth place on the leaderboard, which meant that Lu Sheng was only the two hundredth person on the entire Apocalypse Star to complete the paper.

“As expected, others cannot be underestimated. Everyone has their own talents.”

Lu Sheng smiled as he looked at the ranking, but he wasn't very concerned.

After all... a perfect score in the basics was just the beginning!

The most important part of this section was the additional points!

Immediately, Lu Sheng focused his attention on the additional points.

“For the additional points, you need to upload knowledge that matches your profession first, and then knowledge outside of your profession, so—”

Lu Sheng didn't hesitate at all, directly uploading his insights on the techniques he had learned to the light screen. With his mastery of basic martial arts at level six, Lu Sheng was very confident in this section.

After a brief evaluation, Lu Sheng's score directly increased from the previous one hundred points to one hundred and fifty points.

“Fifty points? Not bad. Then next—”

Lu Sheng then uploaded his knowledge of basic prosthetic maintenance at level five to the light screen.

However, this time, it only increased by thirty points.

“The knowledge of basic prosthetic maintenance at level five actually only got thirty points?”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied with these thirty points.

“That's right, my level five basic prosthetic maintenance was still learned from Grandpa Li. In the end, Grandpa Li is just an ordinary martial artist. It's already very good to get thirty additional points.”

“One hundred and eighty points.”

Lu Sheng looked at the leaderboard. His ranking had already risen to the top ten. The candidates ranked in front of him all had the same score as him, one hundred and eighty points.

Dozens of candidates behind him had also achieved a score of one hundred and eighty points. “One hundred and eighty points... it seems that this is the limit score that transcendents below the conventional fourth rank can achieve.”

But—I shouldn't be this low!

I need to aim for an even higher score!

Lu Sheng fell into contemplation. Soon, a glimmer of light gradually flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes.

I wonder if mastering a planetary-level technique counts as extra credit.

After all, the college entrance exam syllabus doesn't include planetary-level knowledge!

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, and then entered the Undying Art he had mastered into the extra credit column.

After entering it, Lu Sheng quietly waited for the score to change.

After about two minutes of silence, the leaderboard, which had not changed at all, suddenly changed at this moment. Lu Sheng's name instantly jumped to the first place.

The extra credit also directly increased from the previous eighty points to one hundred points!

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face.

Sure enough, one hundred and eighty points is only for ordinary fourth-tier transcendents. Fourth-tier transcendents with good talent can get a full two hundred points if they master a planetary-level knowledge!

At the same time, in the outside world, many ordinary people, even transcendents, and even those fourth-tier transcendents, were watching the leaderboard on the live broadcast screen.

Eighty points of extra credit is already the limit of the knowledge that can be mastered below the fourth tier. I didn't expect that there are still dozens of people in the entire Apocalypse Star who can reach one hundred and eighty points. My Apocalypse Star is also full of talents!

A transcendent said with a smile.

These people with one hundred and eighty points are all good seedlings. Even if their cultivation is not good, they all have their own unique achievements in other fields.

Many people sighed.

Just as they were sighing, the leaderboard, which had never changed, showed a slight change at this moment.

The position of the first place quietly changed.

Lu Sheng's name appeared, and the score behind him was particularly conspicuous among the scores of one hundred and eighty points.

Two hundred points!

When everyone looked at the score of the first place, they were instantly stunned.

A full score of two hundred points? This Lu Sheng is too amazing!

Some ordinary people looked at Lu Sheng's name, but it didn't cause any waves. They were just praising Lu Sheng's excellence.

However, when this score fell into the eyes of those veteran transcendents, and even the fourth-tier transcendents, their expressions became serious.

Just because...

They knew very well that in the college entrance exam syllabus, the mastery of knowledge below the fourth tier, even if it reached the limit,

It was only one hundred and eighty points.

To break this limit, one must master a planetary-level knowledge.

As for the full score—...

It even required an introduction to a planetary-level knowledge!

To achieve this step, even they, these fourth-tier transcendents, had spent an unknown amount of time to barely do it.

But now—

A young man who had just taken the college entrance exam and was only eighteen years old had already mastered an introduction to a planetary-level knowledge.

How terrifying was this!

Who on earth is this Lu Sheng? How could such a monster appear on my Apocalypse Star!

An introduction to planetary-level knowledge, ah. Back then, I spent four or five years to get started with a planetary-level knowledge. This little guy named Lu Sheng—it's really infuriating to compare people!

The fourth-tier transcendents from all over Apocalypse Star couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

Especially in Qiming City, when the few fourth-tier transcendents in Qiming City saw this scene, a storm was directly set off in their hearts.

Good, good, good!

Jiang He looked at this scene with a red face. He naturally knew that Lu Sheng's Undying Art had already been introduced, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel proud.

In a room in Qiming City, Lu Haochuan, the garrison envoy of Qiming City, looked at Lu Sheng's name and shook his head with a wry smile.

It's not wrong for that girl Mu Bing to lose to Lu Sheng.

How could Mu Bing, that little girl, compare to someone who has mastered an introduction to a planetary-level knowledge at such a young age.

Lu Haochuan sighed. When Mu Bing lost to Lu Sheng, he was also a little unconvinced.

But now, looking at Lu Sheng's results, Lu Haochuan was also relieved.

Lu Sheng's name appeared on the leaderboard, which not only caused a storm of discussion outside, but even those Apocalypse Star candidates in the Taixu Star Realm were shocked when they saw Lu Sheng's results.

Mu Bing stood in the vast white world, looked down at her watch, and her face was full of bitterness.

Her ranking was still outside the top 1,000, and she didn't even have the qualification to enter the leaderboard. However, Lu Sheng, whom she didn't care about at first, had been advancing all the way and stood in the first place.

This was a position she had never dared to dream of.

Lu Sheng—

Mu Bing's expression was complicated, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of fighting against Lu Sheng.

At this moment, Mu Tianran, Chen Moyun, Xia Xun and others also saw Lu Sheng's results.

Mu Tianran clenched his fists and stared at Lu Sheng's results.

Is the distance between him and me already so far?

Mu Tianran felt a little unwilling. He was clearly the first person in the Apocalypse Training Camp, but he was defeated by Lu Sheng. Now Lu Sheng has entered the fourth tier, but he is still stuck in the third tier.

Even Lu Sheng has already mastered an introduction to a planetary-level knowledge, but he is still stuck in the third tier.

The gap... is getting bigger and bigger.

As expected of the person I admire!

Chen Moyun looked at Lu Sheng's name at the top and smiled with emotion.

Planetary-level knowledge, ah. Although I have also entered the fourth tier and applied for the Undying Art, I still don't have a clue. This guy...

It's really admirable!

Whether it was outside the Taixu Star Realm or inside the Taixu Star Realm, Lu Sheng's score and ranking caused a lot of waves.

However, this wave did not last too long. Soon, the time for the first round of knowledge assessment ended,

And soon, the second round of cultivation assessment was coming.

This is what countless transcendents in Apocalypse Star cared about the most.

I don't know how many fourth-tier experts will appear on our Apocalypse Star this time. If I remember correctly,

In the last college entrance exam, our Apocalypse Star only produced one fourth-tier expert, and he was still a cultivator.

Well, basically every year, our Apocalypse Star can only produce one or two fourth-tier candidates.

This time, that Lu Sheng can master planetary-level knowledge, so he must be a fourth-tier expert. I just don't know what system it is.
