No money for martial arts university? Slay your way through the border to the top martial arts schoo

The noise fades away, and the holographic image unfolds in the sky.

A man wearing a Twin Stars military uniform appears in the center of the image.

He had a pair of slightly pointed silver ears and was nestled in a large chair made of the bones of an unknown star beast.

Herman, Inspector of the Seventh Border Fleet of the Silverfrost Empire.

Universe realm.

He didn't look up at the screen the entire time.

"Automatic language synchronization complete." The electronic voice announced.

Herman surveyed the terrain of the Northern Border Town Dragon Platform and the hundreds of thousands of Dragon Kingdom troops below.

"The foundation is too rough."

"However, the spiritual energy in this place has only recently recovered, and the amount of original energy from the earth's core barely meets the standard."

Old Duan took a step forward, sword in hand, the tip pointing straight at the sky: "Who are you?"

Hermann ignored him.

He pressed the confirm button on the data panel, then turned to his adjutant off-screen and ordered, "Register new coordinates. Planet Z-7811, add it to the Empire's territory."

"Initial rating: Grade 5, Star Mineral".

"File created, sir."

After doing all this, Herman finally turned his gaze back to Lin Feng.

"Listen, people of this planet."

"I am Herman, an inspector from the Silverfrost Empire. I've already taken care of those small fry who were just outside your door. No need to thank me."

"Now, I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you a chance."

"First, from this moment on, this planet completely belongs to the Silverfrost Empire. You have lost the right to name it."

"Secondly, being classified as a fifth-class mining planet means you have to abide by its rules. Every year, you must deliver 20 million tons of high-purity energy ore to the Empire on time."

"Third, all living things on this planet, including you hundreds of thousands of people, will be branded as slaves. You will be converted into junior imperial miners and begin mining immediately."

The hundreds of thousands of troops in the north were utterly silent.

Baron, who was lying in a snowdrift next to Lin Feng, trembled violently when he heard the words "fifth-class mining star".

"Lin Feng! Don't agree! A fifth-class mining planet is a dead end! They not only want the minerals, but they'll also set up an array to completely drain the Earth's core! In fifty years at most, Blue Star will become a dead planet where not a single blade of grass can grow!"

Lin Feng glanced down at Baron, kicked his hand away, and looked back at the screen.

Herman heard Baron's wails clearly and made no attempt to hide it.

"That short man has good insight."

He sank back into the soft chair: "Having signed the subordination contract, this ball is the private property of the empire. You are merely a group of laborers living on the empire's assets."

"Being qualified to mine for the Silverfrost Empire is a blessing you've earned over many lifetimes."

"Two choices."

"First, if everyone accepts my proposal, you will be able to survive."

"Second, reject me."

Herman pointed his index finger to the top of his head. "I'll press a button. One shot from the main gun will wipe you all out. I'll just spend a little money to buy two ships of obedient laborers from the slave market and bring them over; the effect will be exactly the same."

He glanced at the metal timer on his wrist.

"Make your choice. I only have half a minute to spare. I have to go to a celebration banquet later."

The soldiers at Zhenlongtai had tears in their eyes.

This is crushing everyone's dignity!

"Fuck your grandma! Do you really think Earthlings are made of clay?"

The hydraulic valves of the newly installed robotic arm on Chen Guoliang's right shoulder were fully opened, emitting a hissing white vapor.

Old Duan tilted his head and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ice: "I've lived this long, and I've never knelt before heaven or bowed to earth! What kind of dog are you, coming here to make the people of Earth your slaves!"

"Open fire and take them down!"

"The worst that can happen is death! Who the hell would want to be a miner!"

Amidst the heavy snowfall, the angry shouts of hundreds of thousands of people drowned out the howling wind.

Herman looked at the resistance on the screen and sighed deeply.

"Ignorant and short-sighted."

He raised his right hand and pressed it down. "If you don't want to live, then all of you die. Lieutenant, unlock the main gun and clear the surface."

"Wait a minute."

Lin Feng suddenly spoke up.

Hermann stopped what he was doing and let out a soft snort.

"Are you clear-headed now?" He glanced at me sideways. "Since you're sensible, I'll spare your life to be a mine supervisor."

Lin Feng stood up and brushed the snow off his clothes.

He ignored Herman's condescension and twirled the gun halfway in his hand.

"The people of Earth are tough; they can't bend down to mine."

hum!

Blood and qi circulated wildly on the surface of the body, releasing the pressure of a Star Lord realm expert.

The surrounding wind and snow were directly pushed aside by this surge of energy, creating a vacuum zone with a radius of several hundred meters.

The spear emitted a dragon's roar.

Herman stared at the screen, his previously nonchalant demeanor becoming somewhat more composed.

He sat up straight.

"Star Lord Realm?"

Herman raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "An indigenous planet that hasn't even mastered interstellar travel, yet it managed to produce a Star Lord."

He sized up Lin Feng.

"That's interesting."

"No wonder you're so confident in haggling with me here."

Herman's lips twitched slightly.

"Unfortunately, in the universe, a Star Lord is just a big ant."

He didn't even get up; he simply bent his finger and flicked it lightly down across the screen.

boom!

A terrifying pressure instantly crossed the near-Earth orbit and slammed down on the Dragon Suppression Platform.

There was no energy fluctuation; it was purely a crushing defeat of realms.

Between the Cosmic Realm and the Star Lord Realm lies an insurmountable chasm.

Click!

Gravity increased hundreds of times at that moment.

The surrounding tens of thousands of people all let out a muffled groan.

Large numbers of soldiers knelt down in the snow.

The wreckage of those space pirate warships groaned and twisted under the immense pressure, crushed into piles of scrap metal.

Lin Feng was the first to be affected.

The tangible pressure slammed directly onto his back.

His legs were slightly bent, and his ankles sank directly into the solid ice.

The purple-gold star ring on its surface was pressed down and flickered wildly, its light dimmed, and it was on the verge of collapse.

The skin and flesh tore open, and blood seeped out, instantly staining the combat uniform red.

"Well......"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, gripped the gun barrel with both hands, and slammed it hard on the ground.

"Open it!"

The Qi and blood of the Star Lord Realm flowed upwards against the current.

Lin Feng's bones cracked and popped, his muscles bulged, and he straightened up little by little under the overwhelming pressure.

In the wind and snow, he stood alone at the forefront, bearing the weight of the tens of thousands of people in Zhenlongtai.

On the holographic projection screen, Lin Feng looked up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared directly at Hermann.

Herman sat in the chair.

The two looked at each other.

"Smack."

Herman snapped his fingers.

The overwhelming pressure that had gripped the entire northern border vanished instantly, disappearing completely.

The soldiers on Zhenlongtai were panting heavily, collapsing from exhaustion onto the snow.

Lin Feng let out a long breath, his spear planted firmly on the ground, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and the base of his thumb cracked from the impact.

It's impossible to win.

That's the conclusion.

The difference in their levels is too great.

If Herman had actually made a move, he wouldn't have needed to use the main cannon at all; he could have pierced through Blue Star with his bare body.

Faced with overwhelming force, resistance appears utterly futile.

Herman looked at Lin Feng and suddenly laughed.

"It can withstand even a fraction of my pressure."

"You're really tough."

He leaned back in his chair.

"On an indigenous planet, without a complete heritage or advanced resources, one can only cultivate to the Star Lord realm by relying on a meager amount of spiritual energy."

"It can even withstand a casual attack from me, even though it's a higher-level opponent."

Herman nodded: "You have the authority to make me change my mind."

The holographic screen zoomed in, and Herman's face filled the entire field of vision.

I admire people of value.

"The identity of a miner is an insult to you."

Herman held up one finger: "I'll give you a new position. Centurion, Vanguard Battalion, Seventh Fleet of the Silverfrost Empire."

Barron gasped for breath in the snow pit, his fat face turning bright red.

The vanguard battalion! That's a regular army!

Even a centurion is considered a formally established position in the Silverfrost Empire!

This kid has risen to the top in one fell swoop!

"Your planet doesn't need to be converted into a fifth-class mining planet. The basic quota to be paid each year will be halved. The remaining half will be offset by your local specialty resources."

Hermann continued to present conditions.

"As for these people below, there's no need to mark them as slaves."

"I will establish a base on your planet and select 2,000 people from your hundreds of thousands of people each year to serve as mercenaries in the outer star systems."

"I have offered these terms with utmost sincerity."

Herman looked at Lin Feng and offered a reminder.

"Don't be ungrateful."

"Agreed. Board the ship now and come with me. Your homeworld is now under the protection of the Silverfrost Empire, and no one will bother you anymore."

"No, I'll proceed as planned. I'll kill you all and buy another batch of slaves to mine."
