Chapter 368: Strongest Newcomer
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“What? He killed the Cave Dweller Giant?! That’s too fast!”
“We came too late!”
“How on earth did he do that?!”
...
Donghuang Taichu and Augustus arrived late and had a silent exchange as they looked at each other. Both of their countenances were extremely grim.
After going through so much trouble, they were still one step too late.
They couldn’t understand the means that Feng Lin had used.
How could he kill a horrifying Cave Dweller Giant so quickly?
They were both stunned.
However, when they got back to their senses, their gazes turned very strange.
Right now, Feng Lin had only beheaded the Cave Dweller Giant.
If they were to fight for it, it’d be dependent on their respective capabilities. Who knew who would win?
This guy would probably be too ashamed to say it to others. Even if he did, it’d just turn out to be an intense debate. They might not necessarily lose!
Anyway, this guy would be completely humiliated to have his prey snatched by someone else!
They seemed to be raring to move.
However, before they made a move, a loud bellow suddenly rang out from underground, sounding like an explosive thunder and resonating for very long.
“I, Feng Lin, killed the Cave Dweller Chieftain here!”
“I, Feng Lin, killed the Cave Dweller Chieftain here!”
“I, Feng Lin, killed the Cave Dweller Chieftain here!”
...
Three consecutive shouts rang out. The sound waves shook the heavens, and the voice could be heard everywhere.
“What? The Cave Dweller Chieftain has already been killed?! So fast?...”
...
The amount of information divulged in these shouts was tremendous.
The hearts of the many freshmen who were still fighting the Cave Dwellers shook, and their movements slowed down a little. In that instant, a series of agonizing cries rang out as the Cave Dwellers grasped the opportunity.
However, with how loud the voice was, all the freshmen found out that the Cave Dweller Chieftain had already been killed by Feng Lin.
(This guy...)
Both Donghuang Taichu’s and Augustus’s hearts turned cold.
“The training is completed. Everyone, I’ll be heading back first!” Feng Lin looked at the two of them with a smirk. He had noticed their scheme and decided to nip it in the bud.
After saying this, he didn’t care about the conflict the two of them were feeling and held the Cave Dweller Giant’s head with one hand. He was heading to the surface.
Both Donghuang Taichu and Augustus seemed raring to move, but they eventually decided to hold it in, feeling aggrieved.
Right now, everyone knew that the Cave Dweller Chieftain had been killed by this guy!
Even if they were to forcibly snatch it from him, they wouldn’t be able to change the fact. It was meaningless.
As a student of the Great Wall University, the school rules were like military law that everyone had to abide too strictly.
As an interstellar human, they weren’t allowed to stab their comrades in the back while fighting over their personal interests.
It was already too late for them to make a move. If they were to forcibly continue with their plan, not only would it be meaningless, but they would also need to face a great punishment.
There was more to lose than to gain!
They could only blame this guy for being too sneaky, not giving them a chance to make any move!
...
Dong dong dong!
Footsteps smashed heavily on the rock walls, creating tremors.
Feng Lin held the huge Cave Dweller Giant’s head with one hand and headed up, being very conspicuous.
Everywhere he passed by, when the many Cave Dwellers saw that their leader had been killed, all of them cried out in a forlorn manner and fled in all directions, terror-stricken.
Those freshmen also got away from the entanglement with the Cave Dwellers and looked at this scene in shock. They subconsciously opened up a path.
It was only now that they discovered that for some reason, Feng Lin’s vitality was now completely above theirs, forming intense pressure.
He had attained a breakthrough!
(This guy already had a vitality of over 1,300 when he was only an elite cultivator!)
(Now that he was a grand cultivator, how much would his vitality be?)
They couldn’t begin to imagine!
However, they had all been through this, and there was one thing that they were very clear about.
With each breakthrough to a higher realm, their vitality would go through a qualitative leap!
With this guy’s vitality being above 1,300 previously, he might have already attained a breakthrough past the 2,000 threshold now!
Everyone started guessing, but no one could guess what the truth was.
When they saw Donghuang Taichu and Augustus gritting their teeth and feeling helpless, they were secretly shocked.
Wherever Feng Lin passed by, everyone would naturally open up a path for him. They would unknowingly stand at attention, creating a massive vacant space.
When Feng Lin returned to the space shuttle, the instructor’s eyes immediately gleamed and he started assessing Feng Lin.
Even he found it a little hard to believe.
“To think that you’re the one who beheaded the chieftain!” he exclaimed, losing his composure.
“Yes, it was me!” Feng Lin replied indifferently, being neither servile nor overbearing.
“Excellent! You’ve already attained a breakthrough to become a grand cultivator!” The instructor sensed carefully and his countenance changed.
It was really unbelievable for this kid to be able to attain a breakthrough so quickly.
However, the truth was placed right before his eyes and there was no room for refute.
The instructor controlled the robot to dehydrate the Cave Dweller Giant’s head and then stored it in the space shuttle’s storage.
This was proof that the training had been completed.
“The reward distribution will be starting now!” His finger tapped out consecutively and everyone’s identity microchips started beeping.
Feng Lin opened up his account and saw that 100,000 contribution points and 1,000 academic points had been debited into his account.
Donghuang Taichu and Augustus had each gotten second and third place from the number of Cave Dwellers they had killed and received their rewards respectively.
Although these rewards were quite significant compared to what the others received, they didn’t seem much when compared to Feng Lin’s.
In an intense competition, but only the first place had value.
How many people would remember those who placed in second or third place?
This was something that the two of them who were aiming for the first place couldn’t accept.
The freshmen who were placed within the top 100 received their respective rewards and those who didn’t, felt extremely disappointed. Even though they had tried their hardest, they ended up returning empty-handed.
Many pairs of eyes fixed onto Feng Lin, filled with jealousy.
“The latest newbie board will be announced now!” At this moment, the instructor spoke up.
Everyone was taken by surprise and turned their gaze over. A holographic projection was displayed before them, revealing the ranking board.
...
First Place: Feng Lin, Academic Points: 11,580 points...
Second Place: Donghuang Taichu, Academic Points: 3,102 points...
Third Place: Augustus, Academic Points: 2,486 points...
...
Feng Lin’s name was at the very top and very conspicuous.
Not only had Donghuang Taichu and Augustus not shortened the gap, but it was getting increasingly wider.
The many freshmen started to feel dissatisfied.
Could it be that this Feng Lin was the real strongest newcomer?
Regardless of the future...
At least for now, he was!
In the past, they had thought that the reason why Feng Lin could clinch first place was because he had the advantage of enrolling into the school earlier.
However, this Interstellar Lightning-style Battle was proof of Feng Lin’s ability!
In terms of actual battle prowess, he wasn’t considered weak.
Moreover, Feng Lin had already attained a breakthrough to become a grand cultivator. Donghuang Taichu wiped out the despise that had been in his gaze all this while and became unprecedentedly serious.
(You might boast for now, but the day will come when we see who is the superior one!)
It was definitely not a coincidence to fail repeatedly. Feng Lin’s spot in his heart rapidly soared, becoming higher than even Augustus.
(It seems that Donghuang Taichu isn’t the only rival of mine in the Great Wall University. This Feng Lin has also risen to become a great foe as well!)
Augustus’s gaze turned solemn.
Everyone carried different thoughts.
The space shuttle was quickly started up and moved across the horizon like a meteor, disappearing into the depths of the universe.
