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

After what seemed like an eternity, Lin Feng opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is the ceiling of the medical pod.

Lin Feng sat up and stretched his arms.

The tearing sensation in my chest cavity had disappeared, and my consciousness had solidified again.

The door to the medical pod opened.

Yan Zhan was standing outside the door.

"woke up?"

Lin Feng nodded and took the teacup.

Yan Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed and remained silent for a few seconds.

"You were unconscious for three days. When Chu Tiange and the First Fleet found you on the abandoned planet, your life signal had already dropped below the danger level."

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and remained silent.

Yan Zhan looked at him with a complicated expression.

"You went to the Abyss Star Prison?"

Lin Feng put down his teacup.

"I've gone."

"and then?"

"He got a beating and ran away."

Yan Zhan took a deep breath.

"Augustus has fled back to the core star system of the Empire. The remnants of the Second Fleet have been taken over by the First Fleet, and all sixteen warships and 37,000 soldiers have surrendered."

Lin Feng looked up.

"What is the attitude of the imperial high command?"

Yan Zhan gave a meaningful smile.

"You'll see for yourself."

Three hours later.

Silverfrost Empire, Tianjiao Star Main City, Central Square.

A 100-meter-high award stage was erected in the square, and hundreds of thousands of spectators from various star regions crowded below.

The StarNet live stream will also be launched simultaneously.

On the platform, more than a dozen important figures, including the Imperial Minister of Education, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Military, and representatives of the Interstellar Council, sat in attendance.

Yan Zhan stood below the stage, watching those big shots who were usually hard to even meet gather together, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a much bigger event than when I came in first place."

Chu Tiange stood beside him and whispered:

"Nonsense, you just got first place normally back then. Lin Feng forced an Immortal fleet to surrender as an eighth-level Dominator. Can you call that the same thing?"

"I heard there's a huge argument within the Empire's high command. Some say they should directly award Lin Feng the title of 'Imperial War God,' some say they should transfer him to the core star region for training, and others say they should send him to a higher-level star region for further studies."

Yan Zhan narrowed his eyes.

"That's all nonsense. Nobody can control someone like Raymond Lam."

On the stage.

The Minister of Education stood up and picked up the microphone.

"Everyone, the Trial of the Prodigy Star has officially ended."

The noise in the square instantly quieted down.

The Minister of Education surveyed the entire audience, his voice amplified throughout the city via a loudspeaker.

"In this trial, an unprecedented participant appeared. He entered as a fourth-level Dominator and finished as an eighth-level Dominator. He single-handedly killed an Immortal Realm expert, forced the entire fleet to surrender, and saved billions of civilians on Tianjiao Star."

"Such a record needs no scoring to prove it."

The Minister of Education paused, then suddenly raised his voice.

"The imperial high command has unanimously decided to skip all procedures and make the announcement directly."

"Lin Feng, the winner of this year's Star Prodigy Trial!"

boom!

A deafening cheer erupted in the square.

The chat room on Xingwang Live was instantly flooded with comments.

[Skipping the scoring and going straight for first place—this is the first time!]

[Nonsense, he wiped out an entire fleet by himself, why would we need to calculate the score?]

[Raymond Lam! Raymond Lam! Raymond Lam!]

offstage.

Zhou Tong clenched his fist excitedly.

"Where's Raymond Lam? Why isn't he on stage yet?"

Chu Tiange pointed to the edge of the square.

"There."

Lin Feng stood on the outermost edge of the crowd, wearing a simple black combat suit, his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the stage.

His appearance instantly ignited the entire venue.

Countless spectators flocked to him, eager to get a closer look at this "god of death."

Lin Feng frowned, just about to retreat.

Yan Zhan arrived just in time, unleashing the pressure of a ninth-level Dominator, forcibly forcing the crowd back.

"Go up on stage to receive your award."

Lin Feng nodded and walked towards the award stage.

The bigwigs on the stage all stood up and looked at him with complicated expressions.

Awe, fear, curiosity, and appreciation.

Raymond Lam walked to the center of the stage with a blank expression.

The Minister of Education personally pinned a medal inlaid with star patterns on his chest.

Congratulations, Raymond Lam.

Lin Feng nodded in greeting.

The deputy commander also came over, his voice low.

"Hey kid, interested in joining us?"

The interstellar council representative immediately interjected.

"Don't listen to him. Come to Parliament, and we'll give you more freedom."

Lin Feng did not respond.

He simply nodded politely, then turned to leave the stage.

Just now.

The ring on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

Lin Feng looked down.

Caller ID: Barron.

Lin Feng paused in his steps.

The atmosphere around them froze instantly.

Lin Feng remained silent for two seconds.

Then raise your hand to connect the call.

The fierce killing intent on his face vanished instantly, and his gentle tone stunned everyone.

"Hey, Barron."

Barron's excited voice came from the other end of the communication line.

"Lin Feng! You're finally awake! You're fucking awesome! Forcing an entire fleet to surrender as an eighth-tier Overlord, I can brag about that for the rest of my life!"

Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly.

"How's it going on your end?"

"Me?" Baron laughed. "Of course everything went smoothly on Blue Star. With these resources, Blue Star became a level three technological planet in one step."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

"That's good."

"Oh, right."

Barron suddenly lowered his voice, "I forgot to tell you a surprise."

"What surprise?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

On the other end of the communicator, Barron chuckled, his voice brimming with undisguised smugness.

"Look up, look at the sky."

Lin Feng subconsciously raised his head.

The once clear sky above the central square was suddenly filled with violent ripples.

Immediately afterwards, a small interstellar warship with a brand-new paint job shot out and hovered steadily above the podium.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators in the square gasped in surprise.

The imperial leaders on the stage all frowned, the royal guards around them instantly gripped their weapons, and the defensive array around the square began to subtly charge.

"Lift the alert!"

Yan Zhan reacted extremely quickly, issuing orders directly through the military headquarters channel.

He recognized the warship's jump beacon.

That was a special channel code granted to Earth by the Empire.

The hatch of the jump ship slowly descended.

Barron's voice came through the communicator in sync with the broadcast from mid-air.

"The surprise is, we've come to see you!"

As the fog dissipated, the hatch opened completely.

Baron, dressed in a sharp new combat uniform, stood at the hatch and waved vigorously at Lin Feng below.

Behind him, one familiar figure after another stepped forward.

Those old friends who had fought alongside him on the ruins of Blue Star and gone through countless life-and-death experiences were all now watching the young man in black on the stage with red eyes and excitement.

The entire room fell silent.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, slowly pulled his hands out of his pockets, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

Just as he was about to step into the air...

Barron and his old friends suddenly laughed and stepped aside, making way for each other.

A petite figure emerged from the retreating crowd.

The girl was wearing a simple white battle suit, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.

She bit her lower lip hard, her red eyes already brimming with tears.

The next second, an incredibly familiar voice made Lin Feng's soul tremble.

"elder brother!"
