What kind of great power is this?
As for the form of the high-stakes exam, although it changes every year, it remains fundamentally the same. Overall, the exam is divided into three aspects.
Accumulation of knowledge!
No matter in what form the exam is conducted each year, it will assess each candidate based on these three aspects.
While Lu Sheng was reminiscing about the details of the high-stakes exam, Chen Moyun looked at him and slowly began to speak.
"That is to say, no one knows what the segments of this exam will be. It could be individual combat, and it might even... be team battles!"
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, already understanding what Chen Moyun meant. At this moment, Chen Moyun continued.
"Currently on Tianqi Star, among this cohort of candidates, if no one breaks through in the remaining time, it’s unsurprising that only the two of us have reached the fourth tier. If there are team segments in this exam, we could team up, and we can also invite some elite members of Tianqi Star to form a team."
"In this way, even after entering Star River University, we can support each other. After all, Star River University enrolls martial artists from ten thousand planets, and there are certainly others like us who are fourth-tier Golden Body Martial Artists."
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment after listening to Chen Moyun’s words.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought of Xia Xun.
It must be said that Xia Xun, perhaps in terms of combat power, couldn’t match Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun, but in terms of the ability to analyze the bigger picture, he was definitely top-notch.
Moreover, he could remain calm in the face of danger.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng directly informed Chen Moyun about Xia Xun.
"So... you agree to team up with me?"
"As for Xia Xun? I’ll remember this name. I’ll find him later and talk to him. If he’s willing, having a thinker in the team is very good."
Chen Moyun smiled as he spoke.
Lu Sheng nodded. The cooperation wasn’t the main importance; what mattered was achieving good results in the exam. If collaborating could produce good results, Lu Sheng didn’t mind teaming up with Chen Moyun.
Chen Moyun patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "At Star River University, exam results are everything. Even if we are both accepted, the treatment at the university will depend on the scores."
"More importantly, inside Star River University, most mentors choose students based on their results and performance during the exam. It’s not that you can succeed just because you want to be a student of a particular mentor; it’s a mutual selection."
"So... if there are no team segments in the exam, and if I encounter you in an individual battle, I won’t hold back."
Meeting Chen Moyun’s gaze, Lu Sheng smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I won’t either."
Their gazes met, and they both laughed.
"Well then, I should go contact the other guys on Tianqi Star to make some preparations for the exam. What about you? There are only two weeks left, what do you plan to do?"
Chen Moyun smiled and then asked.
"Only two weeks left? Time really flies!"
Upon hearing that there were only two weeks left until the exam, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I think... I’ll return to the surface to see my friends and elders and adjust my state."
Chen Moyun nodded and didn’t say much. After chatting with Lu Sheng for a while, he hurriedly left.
Lu Sheng didn’t stay long at the Chen Family. He packed up simply and left the Chen Family, boarding the Starry Sky Train to return to the surface, intending to adjust his state and bid his farewells in the last two weeks.
After all, after the high-stakes exam, he would enter Star River University and would not know when he could return to Tianqi Star.
The train descended from above, like a steel dragon diving toward the earth.
It quickly arrived at Qiming City.
Lu Sheng got off the train and stepped onto the ground of Qiming City again, feeling a mix of emotions swirling in his mind.
"Let’s go... see Zhao Feng first."
"I wonder how he’s doing now."
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Sheng walked towards where Zhao Feng used to work part-time.
In the past, Zhao Feng gave up the path of becoming a Transcendent and started living a life as an ordinary person.
The last time Lu Sheng met Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng had made up his mind to attend a local university primarily for ordinary people and stay on Tianqi Star afterward.
Lu Sheng felt a bit of regret, but every person has their own ideas, and Lu Sheng didn’t say much.
In the food stall, Zhao Feng looked exceptionally busy, until a voice called him from his hectic work.
Zhao Feng was startled to hear the familiar voice, turned around, and saw Lu Sheng standing at the entrance of the food stall.
Zhao Feng’s face showed a delighted expression. He took off his greasy apron, put down his work, and rushed to Lu Sheng, giving him a bear hug.
"Weren’t they saying you had gone to Star City? How come you’re back so soon? Don’t tell me you got kicked out?"
Zhao Feng threw a punch at Lu Sheng’s chest jokingly.
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and didn’t get angry at Zhao Feng’s teasing. He merely said, "The high-stakes exam is approaching, so I came back to see you. By the way, are you still doing part-time jobs during the lead-up to your exam?"
Zhao Feng was taken aback, a trace of sadness flashed between his brows, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.
"Our ordinary people’s exam is definitely not as difficult as the Transcendent’s. I’m already prepared."
"I knew I didn’t misjudge you. Tsk tsk, you’re a big shot who’s been to Star City now and still remember me. My judgment is pretty good."
Lu Sheng smiled and then had a meal with Zhao Feng at the food stall, talking until they felt like they were back in their childhood.
After the meal, Lu Sheng said goodbye to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng watched Lu Sheng leaving, and the food stall owner’s voice was heard from behind.
"Zhao Feng! Why are you standing there? Can’t you see all the customers? After eating with your friend, get back to work!"
Zhao Feng smiled at Lu Sheng’s leaving figure, turned around, and shouted, "Here I come!"
At Tianqi Heavy Industry, inside the machinery repair workshop.
Li Mo lay on a wicker chair, commanding the apprentices to repair machines, not noticing a young figure behind him.
"Hey, hey, take it easy, don’t you know how to use a tap? Who was your previous master? What an idiot!"
"And you, fumbling around, can’t you maintain precision? What are you even good for?"
"You are the most foolish apprentices I’ve ever worked with!"
Seeing the apprentices fumbling around, Li Mo got so angry that he sat up straight from the wicker chair.
"Mr. Li, still full of fire at your age!"
At this moment, a faint voice came to Li Mo’s ear.
Li Mo was startled, quickly turning around to see a familiar young face.
Li Mo looked at the suddenly appeared Lu Sheng in surprise, his old face revealing a great deal of joy.
"Wait a minute... Your cultivation... Why does it give me an inscrutable feeling?"
"I can’t even see through you anymore."
