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

This kid in front of me, on the surface of this planet which isn't even a third-class mining planet, has managed to cultivate to the Star Lord realm all by himself!

This is an interstellar monster that appears only once every billion years.

If he introduces such a prodigy to the Empire, Herman will be able to directly enter the Empire's core council chamber!

The oppressive force pressing down on Lin Feng suddenly dissipated.

The wind and snow swept over the ruins once more.

Herman landed from mid-air and quickly straightened his collar.

His arrogance had vanished completely.

Instead, he put on a smile.

With his right hand on his left chest, he bowed deeply to Lin Feng, performing a grand imperial salute.

"Misunderstand."

Herman straightened up, his voice gentle. "It was all a misunderstanding!"

In the rubble pit, Lin Feng had just pulled the metal piece out of his leg.

A string of blood droplets appeared, and the granulation tissue at the wound site intertwined wildly.

He held his spear, motionless, watching the alien opposite him whose expression changed.

Duan Hongyuan and Chen Guoliang, standing in the distance, were dumbfounded.

The broken knife in Duan Hongyuan's hand fell onto the ice.

"Old Chen, did he just bow?"

Chen Guoliang scratched his head, the broken mechanical arm on his right shoulder still smoking: "These alien bastards, they were just cleaning the earth, why are they acting like they've seen their own father?"

Barron, who was lying in a snowdrift, poked half his head out.

It’s over.

This is the highest-level noble ceremony in the empire. This commander is definitely trying to trick Lin Feng into dissecting him for research!

Lin Feng shook the blood off his hands, picked up his spear, and took two steps forward.

"Misunderstand?"

Lin Feng twirled the platinum dragon flame around the tip of his spear. "You just poked several holes in me, and now you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"

Hermann's smile froze for a moment, then became even more obsequious.

"A real-world sparring match! What happened just now was absolutely a well-intentioned assessment!"

Hermann rubbed his hands together, speaking respectfully.

"How can I be sure you're the gem I'm looking for if I don't test your abilities?"

"Mingzhu?" Lin Feng was completely confused.

Hermann, with an air of righteous indignation, raised his voice.

"A peerless genius like you, who reached the Star Lord realm at the age of nineteen, is simply wasting your time here!"

In the mothership's main control room, the adjutant stared at the screen.

"Nineteen years old? First-level Star Lord?"

Screams echoed throughout the control room.

Herman launched into a tirade of profanities over the communications channel.

"Go and fetch those two bottles of top-grade 'Stardew Vitality Elixir' from the storeroom to treat your injuries!"

Lin Feng tapped his shoulder with the barrel of his gun, and his bones made a cracking sound.

"The guy I beat to death, wasn't he one of yours?"

"Locke?"

Hermann waved his hands repeatedly, looking heartbroken.

"That slap you gave him was quite impressive! I'll have him charged with disobeying military orders and executed on the spot!"

Chen Guoliang, listening from a distance, couldn't help but grimac.

"That change of expression is way too... slow."

Lin Feng planted the gun in the ground.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense."

Lin Feng pointed to the towering mothership overhead.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's settle the score. You demolished quite a few buildings on this planet, and you also have this injury. How are you going to compensate me?"

Herman breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you're willing to return to the Silverfrost Empire with me, I guarantee the doors of the Empire's highest academy will be open to you!"

"With your talent, within ten years you'll be at least a first-class marquis with real power!"

Herman became more and more excited as he spoke.

"To remain on this fledgling planet would be a desecration of your talents!"

Lin Feng nodded, pretending to think.

Hermann's eyes lit up.

There is a play!

I'm not afraid of your hesitation, I'm afraid of your lack of desire.

As long as they are willing to be tempted, the Silverfrost Empire's resources can easily overwhelm a young man from a rural planet.

Lin Feng lowered his hand.

"If I go to your area, will I be given a permanent position?"

Hermann nodded vigorously.

"Absolutely! With your talent, you'll be directly admitted to the Imperial Royal Guard! You'll start with officer rank!"

Lin Feng raised his left hand and rubbed his fingers together.

"You'll have to pay more."

The moment those three words were uttered, the wind and snow at Zhenlongtai seemed to stop for a second.

Herman's mind went blank.

He had envisioned countless conditions that Lin Feng would propose.

They want power, sector territory, and even their mothership.

I never imagined the conversation would be so direct.

This is so down-to-earth.

Herman was not angry at all; in fact, he almost burst out laughing.

For the high-ranking nobles of the Silverfrost Empire, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal!

"no problem!"

Hermann waved his hand confidently.

"How many star coins do you want? One hundred million? One billion? I, Herman, will personally cover it for you!"

Lin Feng shook his head.

"I don't want your star coins."

He pointed back at the hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers behind him.

"This planet cannot be classified as your so-called fifth-class mining planet."

"I don't pay taxes, nor do I provide labor."

Lin Feng stepped directly beneath the holographic projection.

"You just marked this area as part of your empire?"

"Change it to 'Independent Neutral Zone' for me."

"Anyone, any fleet, regardless of their name, who dares to set foot in the atmosphere of this planet is considered an intruder."

Hermann's expression changed.

"Your Excellency, according to the Imperial Code, only top-tier conglomerates or royal families of subordinate civilizations can apply for independent neutral zones."

"These are the rules, it's not easy to handle..."

"Is it difficult to handle?"

Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the gun stuck in the ground, making a move to pull it out.

"Then let's not do it."

"I think there will naturally be someone willing to meet my conditions."

Herman felt a chill run down his spine.

If I don't quickly lock onto and bring back the nineteen-year-old star lord, and other forces discover him, I'll suffer a huge loss!

"Easy! I can do it! I'll do it right now!"

Hermann turned and roared at his adjutant.

"Quickly draft the contract! Retrieve the Imperial Supreme Authorization Seal!"

Barron, lying in the snowdrift, rolled his eyes.

He figured it out.

Herman is now a sucker being fleeced in his attempt to win over Lin Feng.

Barron's inherent shrewdness instantly kicked in. He leaped out of the snowdrift and pointed at the projection in mid-air, shouting.

"Tax exemption alone isn't enough!"

"You guys were fighting so fiercely in the sky just now, you even shattered the space barrier outside Earth!"

"If interstellar thugs come to visit every other day, how are we supposed to sleep!"

Barron crossed his arms and made his demands in a hoarse voice.

"I'll pay you a level 4 interstellar defense shield array! Otherwise, forget it!"

Herman saw Baron's face clearly and became furious.

"A lowly dwarf dares to negotiate with me!"

"A level four defense array? That's strategic equipment only found on the large space fortresses of the Imperial regular army! My mothership only has one spare!"

Barron stiffened his neck.

"No shield, huh? Fine."

He turned around and hugged Lin Feng's leg.

"Brother! He won't give it to us! We're not going!"

Hermann panicked when he saw the deal about to fall through.

"Give!"

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a single word.

"Lieutenant! Disconnect the backup Level 4 shield array in the lower deck, along with its control terminal, and throw it down there!"

A few minutes later.

A golden scroll, contained in an encrypted alloy case, was pulled down onto the Dragon Suppression Platform by the beam of light from the mothership.

The reel unfolds automatically and floats in mid-air.

The words of the Silverfrost Empire flickered above.

[Blue Star Independent Neutral Zone Contract.]

[Permanently exempt from taxes, not subject to the control of imperial military districts, and enjoying absolute autonomy.]

Below it is the highest-ranking seal of Hermann's Inspectorate.

Lin Feng didn't even bother to press his handprint; he simply flicked a drop of his blood onto it.

The contract transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for near-Earth orbit.

An invisible identity verification network instantly covered the entire planet Earth.

From this moment on, this planet became, in accordance with the Universal Covenant, a sacred and inviolable private territory.

Lao Duan and Chen Guoliang watched from behind, swallowing hard.

Just over ten minutes ago, these aliens were swaggering around, threatening to enslave them to mine.

Now, not only are taxes completely waived, but they're also rushing to provide a full set of advanced defense systems at their own expense.

Barron threw himself onto the modules, gesturing wildly.

"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!"

"Level 4 Interstellar Shield Array! Equipped with built-in space jamming capabilities!"

Barron slapped the metal casing, making a clanging sound.

"Once this thing is installed, not only the Skyhorns, but even the Herman mothership could stand outside and bombard it for a whole day and night without breaking a single inch of Earth's surface!"

Lin Feng bent down and picked up a control terminal about the size of his palm.

He casually tossed it behind him.

Old Duan hurriedly caught it, holding the terminal in both hands as if it were a red-hot branding iron.

"Lin Feng, this..."
