Advance recruitment?!
After hearing the words of the guy with the red mechanical eye, Feng Lin frowned.
Why didn’t he know that he had been recruited?
“What do you mean?” Feng Lin didn’t know the origins of these three experts, yet their strengths were extraordinary. Their bodies contained an explosive aura; even Feng Lin couldn’t be sure of their true cultivation bases. He looked calm, but his heart was filled with trepidation.
“Very simple, just like what I’ve said. Our Great Wall University is impressed by your performance in the first exam and decided to recruit you in advance.” The red-eyed man laughed. With a wave of his hand, he used his id microchip to send an electronic contract to Feng Lin. “As long as you sign your name here, put your fingerprint on it, and insert your gene code, you will officially become a member of the Great Wall University, one of the top ten universities in the galaxy.”
Things were that simple?
Feng Lin had never believed that free food would fall from the sky. The more it seemed so, the warier was he. “I thought we need to pass three exams first before we can officially join any universities? How can it be possible that I’m recruited in advance just after the first exam?”
“That’s the common method of doing things!” The red-eyed man laughed. “There are three exams because the universities wanted to sift out the true geniuses. But there’s one type of people who are the genius among geniuses. Once they have passed the first exam, they would be able to rise above the others and unable to hide their talents. With regards to this type of people, there’s naturally no need for them to undergo so many examinations. They will be the targets of the top ten universities. And as for you, Feng Lin, your performance was too outstanding in the first exam, and our Great Wall University was extremely impressed by you. How about it? Why don’t you join us? As long as you sign the contract, you will become a student of the Great Wall University and don’t need to continue to take the second and third exams. Also, you can even have a chance to learn the peak-tier cultivation knowledge of humanity!”
He stretched his hand out in a gesture of invitation.
“Why me?” Feng Lin didn’t lose his cool because of how good this sounded. He continued to probe.
The mechanical eye of the red-eyed man flashed, radiating anger. He glared at Feng Lin like he wanted to penetrate Feng Lin with his sharp gaze.
This exam candidate was so brazen and kept asking questions. The Great Wall University was the top ten universities in the galaxy, when had they ever been underestimated by people before?
But he seemed to have thought of something a moment later and began to laugh loudly.
“I’ve forgotten that you came from an extremely remote place and don’t have a good understanding of the examinations. Do you know that out of the three examinations in the Cosmos Universities, the first one, which is the Debarkation Battle, is the most important? Interstellar Debarkation Battles are the true examination grounds. There are countless variables and danger. It tests the candidates on their ability, combat strength, wit, and courage…not a single aspect could be lacking or they would end up as corpses on the ground. As for the second and third exams, they are only used to eliminate those who passed the first exam by luck and to determine the rankings of those who passed. The second and third exams are there to determine the combat strength of the exam candidates and not their potential. Hence, they are less important.”
“Potential is the main criteria?” Feng Lin didn’t want to comment, but he was filled with disbelief.
“It’s precisely so!” said the red-eyed man in a low voice. “Although combat strength is an important indicator, it is not everything. One’s combat strength can vary based on the innate conditions of that person’s birth as well as the difference in their cultivation environments. For example, for experts of the same age group, those who were born in the Huaxia Star Republic would be innately stronger compared to those born in the solar system. However, this cannot represent their potential. If one was to speak about combat strength, no matter how a person cultivates, they would never be comparable to those descendants from the immensely powerful interstellar clans. But potential is something that would never change. Only with enough potential would one be able to enter the Cosmos Universities. One must know that regardless of cultivation resources or environments, there are no places in the universe that can compare to the Cosmos Universities! Even if the combat strength of the candidates is lower, as long as their potentials are high enough, they will definitely improve rapidly after entering the Cosmos Universities. For those who seemed powerful now due to their environments and resources, their potential might not be that high. So, why would the universities want these people?”
“But how do you all judge one’s potential?” No matter how sincere this man sounded, Feng Lin wouldn’t believe him so easily.
“Potential includes courage, wit, and determination… The top ten universities have different judging criteria regarding the potential of exam candidates. For example, the Kunlun University of Huaxia Star Republic. They pay more attention to one’s dao heart. Cultivation is a long path, and one has to depend on themselves. If their dao hearts weren’t strong enough and cannot endure loneliness, temptations, or countless distractions, they would never be able to amount to anything. For the Holy Christ University, they are looking for faith. If one doesn’t have faith in God, no matter how strong they are, the Holy Christ University would never accept them. Pure faith equates to potential in their eyes… And do you know what is the criteria of our Great Wall University?” asked the red-eyed man.
Feng Lin shook his head, clearly frowning a bit.
“Seems like your understanding toward our Great Wall University isn’t high enough. Let me explain to you.” The red-eyed man didn’t mind it and continued, “Our Great Wall University is located at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is called a university, but it’s more suitable to term it as an interstellar border guard or frontier army. We are the first line of defense for humanity and have frequent clashes against the interstellar alien races every year. You must know how vast the universe is. There are all sorts of alien races: titans, giants, the Spirit Race, the Bug Race… And their natural gifts far surpass us. No matter how much humans cultivate, it’s hard to surpass these aliens. But… if the humans don’t even have the courage to fight, it’s useless no matter how high their combat prowess is. They would be nothing more than bigger trash! Hence, the criteria we are looking for is courage!”
“Courage..” Feng Lin was startled, he seemed to have understood something.
“Not bad.” The red-eyed man laughed. “Feng Lin, your performance in the first exam drew our attention and caused us to be impressed. The strength of the paladin team far surpassed your team, but the only thing they lacked was the courage to go all out and fight with their lives on the line. Your performance gave us a very deep impression. Even when facing dangerous situations, you dared to gamble everything and manage to overturn the situation, claiming victory. What moved us even more is that you guys originated from the solar system. Your potential is far from being tapped out, yet your performance is already so outstanding. This is what our Great Wall University cares about. And when you came in here earlier, you have already passed my test. You were actually able to withstand the pressure from the galactic giant’s projection. This undoubtedly proved your great potential. Feng Lin, consider this well. You must know that your current cultivation base is still at the elite cultivator realm. Out of the top ten universities, other than our Great Wall University, there will not be a second one who can give you this promise.”
After speaking until here, he simply looked at Feng Lin. He didn’t continue to persuade him any longer and was quietly waiting for his decision.
This man was filled with sincerity; thus, Feng Lin wasn’t untactful as well. He sank into deep contemplation.
Should he go or not?
