From Mortal Body to Immortality

"Why does the name Lu Sheng sound so familiar? It's like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"Me too, but I just can't remember."

Outside the Taixu Star Realm, some transcendents were discussing.

"Wait, I think I remember now. Didn't Apocalypse Heavy Industries release a global announcement some time ago?"

\

,""It seems like it was talking about Lu Sheng, right?"

"That Lu Sheng and this Lu Sheng from the college entrance exam—could they be the same person?"

Soon, someone remembered when they had seen Lu Sheng's name and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hiss, no wonder Apocalypse Heavy Industries chose to release a global announcement. A fourth-order transcendent at the young age of eighteen, and even having mastered a planetary-level knowledge, that's terrifying!"

"Most importantly—this child is also a martial artist!"

"And a prodigy from a surface city!"

"In the history of Apocalypse Star's college entrance exams, there can't be many who have achieved fourth-order through the martial arts system and participated in the exam!"

In an instant, before the second round of cultivation testing even began, the entire transcendent circle of Apocalypse Star exploded.

Surface city transcendent, martial artist, fourth-order, mastered a planetary-level knowledge, eighteen years old, participating in the college entrance exam.

These few words combined were enough to make countless people revere and fear him.

The reason they were able to connect the dots so quickly was because of the perfect score on the extra points.

"It seems that the first place in this Apocalypse Star's exam will undoubtedly belong to Lu Sheng."

Someone sighed.

"However, besides Lu Sheng, I also want to see if there are any other transcendents on our Apocalypse Star who have reached the fourth order."

Everyone was talking.

At this time, inside the Taixu Star Realm, the second round of assessment had already begun.

The second round of assessment was the cultivation test.

This was very simple and fast.

Lu Sheng entered his cultivation level into the testing instrument in front of him, and soon Lu Sheng's score for this round of assessment appeared.

One hundred points!

The total score for the first two rounds of assessment was three hundred points.

But getting all three hundred points was not so easy. Only a fourth-order could get a perfect score in the second round of cultivation assessment.

Even a third-order perfection could not get a perfect score.

On the leaderboard, the rankings of the candidates reappeared.

On the entire leaderboard, besides Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun's score also reached a perfect score of one hundred points.

"Well, there's actually a second fourth-order candidate. It seems that our Apocalypse Star is producing talents this time!"

Everyone said.

However, there were still sharp-eyed people who noticed the clues about Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun.

"Wait—Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun—they both seem to be martial artists, right?"

"Two Golden Body martial artists??"

When these words appeared in the transcendent circle, everyone was stunned.

According to the previous situation, the fourth-order transcendents that appeared on Apocalypse Star every year were basically born from cultivators and mechanical modifiers.

The situation of martial artists appearing was very rare.

Even if there were any, they were basically fourth-order transcendents with other systems.

The scene like this year, where all the fourth-order transcendents were martial arts systems, had never appeared in the history of Apocalypse Star.

"Goodness, both fourth-orders are martial artists. I can actually witness this scene."

Lu Sheng's name was at the top of the list, and below Lu Sheng was Chen Moyun.

Xia Xun's score was not bad, and after two tests, he was still able to achieve a score of three to four hundred.

It should be known that when Xia Xun was in the Tiansu Training Camp, his first ranking test only got thirteenth place in the Tiansu Training Camp.

And in the ranking battle, he barely made it into the top one thousand.

Now being able to get three to four hundredth place in the college entrance examination, the progress has been very fast.

The cultivation test did not take too long. With the end of the cultivation test, the selection ranking of Apocalypse Star's natives was finally finalized.

In the first round of selection, you must be ranked in the top 30,000 in Apocalypse Star to enter the second round of selection among the seven major galaxies.

Lu Sheng and others naturally entered the second round of selection without any suspense.

And those candidates who did not enter the top 30,000 also withdrew from the Taixu Star Realm at this time.

At the entrance of Yucai High School, Lu Haochuan's figure slowly appeared. He looked at the candidates who kept walking out, but couldn't help but sigh.

The college entrance examination is so cruel. Either you constantly surpass others, or you become the target for others to surpass.

Although Mu Bing can be considered a rare talent in Qiming City, in the eyes of the entire Apocalypse Star, he is still a bit lacking.

Not to mention anything else, just those geniuses who entered the Apocalypse Training Camp occupied 10,000 places. Everyone who can enter the Apocalypse Training Camp is the elite of the entire Apocalypse Star.

Although Mu Bing's talent is good... but it is not enough to be compared with these people.

Mu Bing walked out of the examination room with a somewhat lonely expression, and saw Lu Haochuan waiting for him at the school gate.

"Teacher—"

Mu Bing looked at Lu Haochuan but hesitated to speak.

Lu Haochuan naturally knew what Mu Bing was thinking, sighed and didn't say anything, just gently patted Mu Bing on the shoulder.

"You have done very well. That Lu Sheng—is a monster, a freak."

Hearing this, Mu Bing's expression became more complicated.

Lu Sheng, who he once looked down on, has now become an existence he needs to look up to. When he thought that his teacher once said that he would need twenty years to break through to the fourth order.

Now Lu Sheng is already a fourth-order existence.

At the same time, the other candidates, whether they were eliminated or those who were still in the Taixu Star Realm, had different thoughts after looking at the names of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun on the leaderboard.

"These two are actually martial artists!"

Some candidates muttered to themselves, while others had complicated expressions, and some even had bitter faces.

Especially those transcendents under the cultivator system and the mechanical modifier system, their expressions were even more complicated.

After all, in their consciousness, they have always looked down on martial artists.

But now...

The top two are occupied by martial artists. Whether it is a mechanical modifier or a cultivator, no one has been able to become a fourth-order this year.

This also made their mood extremely complicated.

And those transcendents under the martial arts system looked at the names of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun with even more fanatical expressions.

As martial artists, even those who have entered the Apocalypse Training Camp, are often looked down upon by cultivators and mechanical modifiers.

Other systems of transcendents always act superior in front of martial artists.

But now, seeing that the first and second places are both martial artists, a spark is gradually igniting in their hearts.

"So—martial artists can also stand on the summit!"

Many martial artist transcendents are watching the leaderboard, their expressions constantly changing.

Within the Taixu Star Realm, Lu Sheng stood quietly in the vast white world, waiting for the start of the next round of assessment.

After about a dozen minutes, a gentle female voice echoed in this world.

"Candidate Lu Sheng, ranked first on the Apocalypse Leaderboard, is about to enter the third round of assessment. Please prepare!"

Hearing this voice, Lu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Here it comes!

The third round of assessment will be taken together by the top 30,000 candidates from Apocalypse Star, and candidates from other planets and other star systems!

And this will be the key point for whether Lu Sheng can obtain better treatment at Star River University and have better mentors!

Lu Sheng's heart couldn't help but surge with excitement.

"Connecting to other candidates from the seven major star systems, countdown preparation—ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

The gentle female voice slowly sounded, and Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

The Human Federation, with tens of thousands of colonized stars, is divided into seven major star systems, which are further divided into frontline star systems and rear star systems.

Lu Sheng's Apocalypse Star is located in the Tianlan Star System, one of the four rear star systems.

All the candidates from the seven major star systems gather together to conduct the final ranking, which will ultimately determine the top 10,000 and receive considerable rewards from the Human Federation.

These candidates who enter the top 10,000, in addition to receiving rewards from the Human Federation, will also be favored by the powerhouses of major forces.

For example, Star River University will also have mentors watching these candidates' performances in real-time, selecting students they want to teach.

The countdown continued to sound.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

As the last number fell, the scene in front of Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes, transforming from the previous vast white world into the interior of an ancient pagoda.

Lu Sheng stepped on the ground, surrounded by towering stone pillars that encircled his position.

Inside the circle, there was only Lu Sheng, and a figure clad in black armor, wielding a black sword, standing there quietly.

"Third round of assessment: Combat Assessment!"

"Assessment Content: Ink Dragon Tower!"

"In this assessment, candidates will charge through the Ink Dragon Tower. Each successful floor cleared from the first to tenth floor will earn one point.

Each successful floor cleared from the eleventh to twentieth floor will earn two points, and so on…"

"Assessment—officially begins!"

As the voice fell, the black armor standing in front of Lu Sheng instantly opened its eyes, revealing a scarlet glow.

In the next moment, the black armor transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards Lu Sheng.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng frowned slightly and kicked out his foot.

Bang!

The immense power directly shattered the black armor, turning it into a pile of black fragments scattered on the ground.

At the same time, behind the arena, circles of white halo appeared.

"The entrance to the next floor?"

"The strength of the black armor just now was not bad, probably at the late stage of the third tier. But for me—it's already at a level that can be obliterated with a wave of my hand."

Lu Sheng murmured slightly, then glanced at the watch on his hand. In the third round of assessment, the ranking could still be seen.

However, the ranking accumulated was only for the top 10,000 candidates.

At this moment, on the leaderboard, there were already 10,000 names constantly flashing and changing.

Behind their names, the lowest score had already reached five points.

Representing that they had successfully reached the fifth floor.

"So fast?"

Lu Sheng was somewhat surprised. He had just defeated the enemy on the first floor, and someone had already reached the fifth floor, or even higher.

It has to be said that these people's adaptability and reaction speed are really terrifying.

"After all, I'm standing on the biggest stage of the entire Human Federation, I can't be underestimated!"

Lu Sheng murmured, took a step, and walked directly towards the entrance to the second floor, beginning his mad dash.

First floor!

Second floor!

Third floor!

In just less than a minute, Lu Sheng directly swept through the first ten floors and arrived at the eleventh floor.

Another punch was thrown out, defeating the enemy on the eleventh floor, and Lu Sheng couldn't help but say.

"The first ten floors should correspond to the most ordinary late-stage third-tier transcendents, gradually increasing in strength. But after reaching the eleventh floor, it corresponds to transcendents who have mastered a certain degree of artistic conception."

"So, every ten floors is a watershed. Every time you cross ten floors, the enemy's strength will become stronger. Maybe later on, there will even be enemies comparable to the Golden Body Realm appearing!"

A hint of fighting intent emerged in Lu Sheng's eyes.

"Interesting!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, took another step, and rushed towards the higher floors.

At the same time, throughout the Human Federation's major planets, whether it was transcendents or ordinary people, or those candidates who did not enter the third round of assessment, they were all watching the live broadcast.

They looked at the constantly changing leaderboard, trying hard to find the names of the candidates from their planet on the leaderboard. Whenever a candidate was found by the people of their planet, it would cause a burst of enthusiastic discussion.

"Look, this is our Mo Star's pride, hahaha, he can actually reach more than 8,000th place!"

", This is Wang Chen from our Sirius Star, I saw his name, it's in the 4,000s!"

"Hahaha, as expected of my Flame Star's pride."

Words like these were constantly echoing on each planet.

At this moment, within Apocalypse Star, everyone was also looking for the names of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun. They were very clear that if they wanted to enter the top 10,000, they would at least have to have a fourth-tier cultivation.

After all, even Apocalypse Star could cultivate two fourth-tier candidates, other planets would only have more, not less.

But after searching for a long time, they still didn't see the names of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun appearing on the list, which caused many transcendents on the entire Apocalypse Star to fall into silence.

"Could it be that no one from our Apocalypse Star can enter the top 10,000?"
