Chapter 424: Ascending to The Top of The Rankings

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Breath in, breath out...

He breathed in deeply, and his breath was like arrows, long and continuous. It was like all impurities in his body was being exhaled.

His chest heaved up and down as a low rumbling sound could be heard. The sound was filled with force and power, clearly exhibiting an extraordinary lifeforce.

His boiling qi and blood churned wildly in his body as his mythological genes were stimulated, becoming extremely lively.

Genetic potential +19.8, +19.8, +19.8...

Monkey King gene +1, Daoheart Gene +1...

The two powerful Heaven Genes were strengthened by one point. Feng Lin’s vitality stats had also undergone a huge boost.

=====

Name: Feng Lin

Vitality Stat: 6,180

Heaven Genes: Monkey King Gene x5, Daoheart Gene x3

Transcendent Genes: Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene x10, Beastking Gene x10, Minute-Knowledge Gene x9, Meditation Gene x8

....

Genetic potential: 1,612

=====

As both the Heaven Genes were strengthened by one point each, his vitality stat broke through 6,000 in a single shot. Even among grand cultivators, he was considered near the pinnacle.

But this was still too slow!

Feng Lin opened his eyes, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The black spirit tide was still in the starry space, eyeing humanity like how a tiger eyed its prey.

The war could happen again at any moment, and the situation was exceedingly dangerous. Any bit of increase in strength was extremely valuable.

Given his current cultivation, he was considered below average in the Great Wall University. There was no need to mention about him being on the cruel battlefield. It was a problem even for him to protect his own safety.

Only by becoming the three levels of the adept realm would he be able to have some basic capability to protect himself.

If not, if he was the slightest bit careless or unlucky, his little life would instantly be lost.

This was something Feng Lin could never accept.

Weakness was the greatest original sin, and in extreme times, one had to use extreme methods.

He had to think of more ways to get stronger rapidly, ignoring all costs.

Just when Feng Lin was thinking about this, the sound of notifications rang out.

He opened his id microchip and saw a holographic projection of a sturdy figure. This was none other than that interstellar Marshal.

He spoke in a heavy voice to Feng Lin, “Feng Lin, congratulations. You destroyed the mechanical giant and obtained the top contributions in the first battle. According to the inspector on the battlefield, the military affairs of the Great Wall University had negotiated and has decided to reward you with 10 million contribution points. At the same time, your military rank shall be up by one, you are promoted to a Captain...”

Causing the energy core to explode, destroying the mechanical giant. This merit achieved from this battle was truly great.

The contribution points that he received also far surpassed his imagination. One must know that he had just recently been promoted to the First Lieutenant position.

The committee of military affairs actually didn’t care to avoid gossip and instantly raised his rank by one level. From this, one could see that Feng Lin’s efforts had already reached the point where it was impossible not to reward him.

This was the opportunity war brought. The greater the risk, the greater the returns.

At times like this, once one’s contribution points were tallied, they would undoubtedly be several times more compared to ordinary times.

All of this was within Feng Lin’s expectations. Ever since he succeeded in destroying the mechanical giant, he already knew that he would receive great rewards. There was naturally nothing too surprising.

What made him feel joy was his promotion to Captain.

Upon becoming a Captain, he could already be considered in the middle echelons of the Great Wall University. The amount of extrajudicial authority and benefits he could receive would be even better.

This point was precisely what he wanted.

He simply had too many secrets on him that couldn’t be divulged. By being promoted to a Captain, he would have more space and freedom when doing things.

The other rewards were just external items. Feng Lin quickly recovered his calm after hearing about them.

At this moment, there were still other messages in his id microchip. He opened up one which was sent by a familiar person. When he clicked it open, the hologram of Zhao Yue`e projected out.

“Senior sister Zhao, is there a reason why you are looking for me?” A knowing smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face.

This Zhao Yue`e was walking on the Zhenwu Emperor Mythology Path. It was filled with difficulties, but even so, she didn’t shrink back despite being a female. Her combat prowess was beyond outstanding and she had gained the title of Martial Queen.

Feng Lin didn’t fear her combat strength, but he was impressed by her dao heart.

Hence, in his eyes, Zhao Yue`e was different compared to others.

“Feng Lin, didn’t you notice?” Upon hearing Feng Lin’s question, Zhao Yue`e smiled. “You’ve already ascended to the top of the star-level rankings!”

“The top of the star-level rankings?” Feng Lin was shocked. He opened up the star web and searched. To his surprise, he really saw his name shooting up like a rocket, surpassing many competitors and forcibly ascending to the top position of the star-level Heaven’s Chosen Ranking Board, allowing him to lord over those other heroes below him arrogantly.

“Feng Lin, he is from the desolate solar system, a freshman of the Great Wall University. Current cultivation base: Grand Cultivator Realm. Vitality stat at least above 6,000. Battle achievements: Inventor of the Crimson Refinement Gunpowder, and having killed countless spirit race members before, in addition to destroying the mechanical giant...”

Feng Lin’s information on the ranking was updated. His vitality stat also received a higher evaluation and his battle achievements were refreshed with an additional item.

Just the addition of this item alone allowed him to ascend to the peak.

One must know that those ranked below him were no weaklings. All of them had vitality stats over 9,000 and they were all incomparably outstanding elites among their peers.

Yet, Feng Lin dominated over all of them with just having a vitality stat of over 6,000. He even ascended to the top position. There was no doubt that his name now was extremely conspicuous.

However, no complaints about the rankings could be heard. There were only praises of admiration.

“He is the person who destroyed the mechanical giant?”

“The methods of this Feng Lin are truly impressive. How did he do it?”

“This magnificent feat from a grand cultivator was an incomparably dangerous thing. If it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation base is too low, it probably wouldn’t be a problem for him to ascend to the moon-level rankings as well!”

...

Although his vitality stat was low, his genuine battle achievement was there. No one was a fool here; everyone could see clearly. They naturally wouldn’t doubt his ability or that would be equivalent to them insulting their own intelligence.

And before Feng Lin’s dazzling battle achievements, everyone felt that he couldn’t be measured by the usual standards of a grand cultivator.

He seemed to have endless methods at his disposal, and no one knew where he had learned them from.

Below the ranking board, the sounds of numerous intense discussions could be heard.

Feng Lin simply took in everything calmly, nodding his head in response.

Heroes could only rise if there was an opportunity to do so. Every time during a war, danger and opportunity existed side by side.

If it wasn’t for his merit at the first battle, how could he be able to ascend to the top position in a single shot?

After exchanging a few more conventional greetings with Zhao Yue`e, he didn’t rest and instantly began a new session of cultivation.

The powerful constitution of a grand cultivator allowed him to maintain a longer and even more intense cultivation session.

Genetic potential +15.2, +15.2, +15.2...

But as he cultivated, Feng Lin discovered that the rise in his genetic potential grew slower and slower, like he had touched on an invisible but solid bottleneck. It was useless even if he consumed more alchemy pills.

Things would be bad if this continued on.

More battles were on the verge of breaking out, and he didn’t have much idle time left.

He could only use the Mythology Deduction Method!

Feng Lin silently mused. His hands folded gestures as his mind entered the depths of his heart, causing his entire person to be immersed in a miraculous state.

He entered the mythology illusion realm once more. This time, he wanted to search for the path that would lead to him having a breakthrough, allowing him to enter the Adept Realm!
