Chapter 385: New Second Lieutenant

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“What? The marshall has promoted him to a Second Lieutenant in one go?!”

“This kid has gotten lucky! He managed to soar up to great heights in just one step!”

“The Great Wall University’s graduation test is extremely strict and only the students who officially graduated and stay in the school could get the Second Lieutenant title!”

“Hmph! This Second Lieutenant ranking is merely a temporary title. The marshall probably just wants him to give the refinement technique for the crimson refinement gunpowder to the military!”

“That’s hard to say! Military titles aren’t something to be given easily. A Second Lieutenant is a Second Lieutenant, even if he is one that manages the Logistic Unit. No matter how high one’s cultivation is, as long as their military title is lower than his, they would have to respectfully perform a military salutation before him!”

“That’s right! Once he becomes a Second Lieutenant, the treatment and status he would get in the Great Wall University would turn 180 degrees! There hasn’t been any precedence in which one obtained a military title before they graduated. Which graduate hadn’t become someone who took the school by storm?!”

…

Astonishment, jealousy… All sorts of voices rang out incessantly.

Feng Lin was merely a newly-enrolled freshman but had been given the Second Lieutenant title by the marshall. Understandably, it instantly caused everyone to feel jealousy and hatred toward him.

However, since the marshall had already made his decision, it was impossible for them to change it.

“Second Lieutenant title?” Feng Lin secretly nodded. This was better.

The crystallization technique for each gene potion was different. So, without alchemy and a powerful spiritual force as the foundation, it was impossible for the others to derive the complete technique.

Other than killing and damaging spirits, the crimson refinement gunpowder didn’t have many other uses. It was a unique potion and Feng Lin didn’t have much use for it either.

However, things would be completely different if it was given to the Great Wall University.

This was a great killing weapon.

Given the university’s resource storage, they would be able to refine sufficient crimson refinement gunpowder and deal serious damage to the spirit race.

This would be considered as contributing to the university or mankind.

After all, he wouldn’t lose out at all to be getting the Second Lieutenant title.

“Thank you, marshall!” Feng Lin nodded and pay his gratitude.

The marshall smiled. He knew that since Feng Lin had said this, it meant that he had completely agreed to his plan.

“We’ve gotten the information, so you guys can go back now. Next, we’ll need to capture the spy! I shall see who was the one betraying their ancestry for glory! To think that they would dare to scheme and harm our university’s talents!” The marshall’s smile was now filled with brazen killing intent and was very cold.

One could imagine that if the spies were to be caught, they would definitely not be let off easily.

Under the protection of the interstellar warriors, Feng Lin and the others left the place orderly. A set of military uniforms and a military badge was brought before Feng Lin.

When the other freshmen saw this, their expressions were extremely complicated.

In a flash, this person who was of the same age as them had already thrown them far behind his back, becoming an existence that they could only look up to.

They had been top-notch geniuses amongst their generation since young. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten into a Cosmos University.

However, the most brutal thing in the world was that there were still differences between geniuses. In this case, the difference between them was even greater than that between geniuses and ordinary people.

When Feng Lin had just enrolled in school, he was merely an elite cultivator. However, he had become a grand cultivator within merely one month and stood firmly at the top of the newbie board.

Before they could catch up to him and surpass him, he had become a Second Lieutenant, having a rank at the same level as those who had officially graduated from the school. Thus, who could they complain to about this?

Everyone felt both gloomy and admiration in their hearts.

Feng Lin himself didn’t feel too much about this.

Previously, his foundation had been too weak, and he was restricted by his background and environment. Moreover, the time he cultivated was too short. He had already given it his all to be able to get into a Cosmos University.

However, things were different after he came to Great Wall University.

As long as he had contribution points, he would be able to freely exchange them for any resources.

When no conditions restricted him, the effects of the genetic equations were brought to their extreme. When paired with a complete set of mythological knowledge inheritance, the unleashed effect wouldn’t be as simple as 1+1=2. It would be an explosive growth!

Those of the same age as him were thrown far behind him, but this was something within expectations.

His future would forever be in the wide interstellar space!

Feng Lin had never doubted this before.

Having made great efforts to successfully escape from their ordeal, Feng Lin and the others were both physically and mentally fatigued. They bade each other goodbye and rushed back to their respective houses.

Having survived the calamity and struggled on the verge of death, they instantly felt as if their bodies had been completely emptied after relaxing from the tense state.

Feng Lin fell into a deep sleep the moment he dropped onto his bed.

He didn’t have any dreams for the entire night, and both his body and mind were completely relaxed. He entered the deepest sleep he had ever experienced.

When he woke up, his energy had completely recovered and he thought about what he had gained from this trip.

After experiencing the spirit race’s ambush and pursuit, he increasingly understood the importance of his own strength.

The majestic universe was too vast and dark, capable of engulfing any life. The more this was so, the more insignificant he felt he was.

Countless interstellar races viewed humans as enemies and had strong urges to wipe them out. Humans were constantly placed in extremely precarious situations and exposed to dangers.

No one could escape this.

The moment a war broke out, the Great Wall University would be at the frontline.

Misfortunes and fortunes tended to be paired together.

Although he had gained a military rank, it would mean that he would have to stand at the frontline.

Even if it was just a Logistic Unit, there would still be dangers.

The moment they arrived on the battlefield, at the most dangerous moment, everyone would have to fight it out against the enemies regardless of which department they were from.

Strength. He must have strength!

Only with sufficient strength would he be able to survive in the complicated and dangerous environments.

His progress was far too slow if he had to rely on his own cultivation.

Therefore, he must open up the furnace and perform alchemy again.

Feng Lin went through the alchemy legacy in his mind and eventually decided to make the new pill called the Nine Revolutions Birth Transformation Pill.

This was a rare Yin Yang Pill that split into two pills—one being yin and the other yang. One would have explosive medicinal effects that felt as scorching as flames. While the other would have gentle medicinal effects that felt as cool as ice.

If one were to take them together and allow the yin and yang medicinal effects to clash in their body, after going through nine revolutionary changes and impurities cleansing in their bodies, they would be able to go through a complete transformation, enabling them to walk further in their path.

The Great Wall University was located on the borders of the Milky Way Galaxy and was the first in the area to pioneer the external star systems. Therefore, they had countless rare resources.

As long as one had sufficient contribution points, they could purchase almost anything.

Feng Lin started to search on the university’s database with his identity microchip and found all the ingredients very quickly.

Right now, he had a tremendous amount of contribution points, exceeding 50 million points. It’d be a waste to not use them!

The Nine Revolutions Birth Transformation Pill’s grade was above that of the Dragon-Tiger Exchange Fetus Pill. It was a top-grade spiritual pill!

So to say, its medicinal effect was at least three times stronger than the Dragon-Tiger Exchange Fetus Pill.

To the current Feng Lin, only alchemy pills of such a grade could allow him to break through rapidly.

When the alchemy pills were precious, the medicinal herbs would naturally be extremely expensive as well. Each of them was beyond one’s imagination.

If it wasn’t because he had been awarded 50 million contribution points by the marshall after completing the final mission, Feng Lin wouldn’t have been able to afford them.

He gritted his teeth and spent six million contribution points to order 50 sets of materials in one go. And very soon, robots brought the materials to his room.

Feng Lin memorized the alchemy recipe and started the refining process immediately.
