Immortal Stars

Chapter 25 Return

Two hours later, Wang Xu and the others returned to the vicinity of the train.

A faint purple energy barrier opened. A middle-aged man who looked like an officer stood in front of them and smiled. “Welcome back alive.”

The middle-aged officer did not seem to be joking. His tone was sincere, and he was obviously happy that Wang Xu and the rest could return safely.

Wang Xu handed over his backpack and heaved a sigh of relief after arranging for the injured to the emergency room.

A moment later, the middle-aged officer returned and said with a smile, “The insect fragments in the backpack have been counted and verified to be real. Congratulations, Wang Xu, Tang Yan, and Ying Xing. The three of you have passed the graduation trial. You still have a month to prepare. A month later, we will send someone to welcome you to the legion.”

Ying Xing was expressionless. He was a level five student, so it was natural for him to enter the Genius Legion. He actually didn’t need to be tested. However, he was suppressed by William Smith just now and couldn’t fight back at all, this made him unhappy.

Wang Xu and Tang Yan were slightly excited. The Genius Legion was quite difficult for them. After experiencing the cruel trial and passing the test was the greatest proof of their strength.

“By the way, Senior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Li Ming should have quite high points. Why didn’t they pass the examination?” Tang Yan asked.

The middle-aged officer smiled warmly. “Let me tell you something in advance so that you won’t be confused.

“The system of the Genius Legion is very simple. It’s divided into various legions. After you enter, you have to join one of the legions first and then accept various missions. The missions will reward you with contribution points. The contribution points can be used to exchange for technological weapons, armor, medicine, and resources. You can even invite a ‘master’ expert to be your coach and teach you one-on-one.”

Wang Xu’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. The points in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall could be used to exchange for things, so he was not tempted by the first few things. Only the last sentence, “You can invite a ‘master’ expert to be your coach and teach you one-on-one”, was what Wang Xu yearned for.

The title of “master” had to be obtained by a level seven Gene Warrior. Every one of them was incomparably powerful and could tear apart an A-grade weapon with their bare hands. The terrifying strength was definitely not exaggerated.

If he had such a coach to teach him, be it ancient martial arts or realm cultivation, his speed would probably be much faster!

A good teacher’s guidance could save people from taking many detours. This was the power of a strong person as a coach.

“…Although the contribution points are tempting, the mission is not simple. The trial you’re experiencing now is only one of the mission areas.

“The domain that the Genius Legion wants to conquer is the world outside the barrier. There are no so-called laws. The terrifying insect beasts and sinister humans will be what you have to face. The graduation trial is only one of the miniatures. If you can’t even survive the graduation trial, it doesn’t mean anything even if you pass the examination. You’ll still die for nothing.” The middle-aged officer’s tone was deep. Wang Xu completely understood. The graduation trial was one of the adventure spots of the Genius Legion, and it was the simplest. If he was injured like this on such an adventure, how could he complete the mission in the future?

Although Li Ming, Yun Yang, and the rest came from the Inner Academy and were more talented than Wang Xu, Zhang Xinglin, and the rest, if they were seriously injured in the trial and couldn’t even move, they would be no different from dead people.

The Genius Legion did not want dead geniuses, but living experts!

Hu!

Suddenly, a thick smell of blood came. A black figure appeared not far away and was walking towards the train.

Zhang Xinglin.

Zhang Xinglin was covered in blood. It was unknown if it was his or someone else’s, but his face was also stained with blood. His eyes were very cold and emotionless. Wang Xu could feel a surging killing intent from afar and was shocked.

How many people had he killed?

The surging killing intent made Tang Yan and the middle-aged officer turn around. Tang Yan’s face was pale, but the middle-aged officer was not affected at all. He still smiled warmly and said, “Welcome back alive.”

Zhang Xinglin was carrying two large backpacks that were as tall as a person on his shoulders. They were so stuffed that they looked like they were about to explode. He casually threw the two large backpacks into the train and walked in.

ca

The middle-aged officer waved his hand and two train attendants dragged the backpacks away to check.

The moment Zhang Xinglin returned to the train, he took back his Space Ring and changed into clean clothes. Even so, it could not hide the smell of blood on his body.

A moment later, the train attendant came to the middle-aged officer’s ear and whispered a few words. The middle-aged officer nodded.

“Congratulations, Zhang Xinglin. You’ve passed the graduation examination and become a member of the Genius Legion. Someone will come to pick you up in a month.” The middle-aged officer smiled warmly.

Zhang Xinglin nodded expressionlessly. Without looking at Wang Xu and Tang Yan, he closed his eyes and rested. “Alright, all the members of the seventh safe zone have arrived. Let’s set off.” The middle-aged officer ordered, and the train slowly started.

“Dad, Mom!”

The moment he got out of the car, Wang Xu waved goodbye to Tang Yan and went straight home.

Wang Zhenguo was greeting guests at home. His mother, Lin Hui, was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Wang Xu return, her face lit up.

“Xu’er is back!”

The warmth of home and the amiable greeting made Wang Xu’s heart flow with warmth. This was home. There was no need for too many words or looks. Just a light greeting was enough.

“This must be Brother Wang’s son. He’s really talented!” The guest praised Wang Xu when he saw him.

Wang Zhenguo was very happy. No parents would be unhappy to hear someone praise their child. Moreover, Wang Xu was really capable.

“Brother Chen, don’t think too highly of him, in case he gets arrogant,” Wang Zhenguo said.

“Hehe.” Wang Xu touched his nose.

“By the way, my daughter is eighteen this year. Brother Wang, why don’t we matchmake them?” Brother Chen said.

“Yes, we have to consider this matter carefully. Xu’er is already nineteen. It’s time to think about that. How about this, Brother Chen? Let’s arrange a time for them to meet another day.” Wang Zhenguo said thoughtfully.

Wang Xu was speechless. He was only nineteen years old. It was too early to talk about marriage.

“Haha, I couldn’t ask for more. The more I look at Wang Xu, the more I like him. It’s decided!” Brother Chen smiled generously.

Wang Xu sighed and shook his head. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Ding!

Just as he turned on the computer, a mechanical notification sounded. There was an email.

“Student Wang Xu, congratulations on successfully passing the Genius Legion assessment. We will give you a set of B-grade armor and 10,000 contribution points. You can enter the ‘Legion Mall’ through the Internet to choose the items you need. The following is your account and password. Please don’t reveal it to a third party. I wish you a happy life!”

Free B-grade armor? The Genius Legion was really generous. However, this was also good. The durability of Wang Xu’s armor had decreased during the graduation trial. It was already less than 20%. He needed to buy new armor.

Immediately, Wang Xu entered the website of the Legion Mall and entered his account and password to choose the B-grade armor and weapons.

A moment later.

“The Genius Legion is indeed not for show. They have a lot of reserves in terms of armor and weapons. There are even more low-priced items than the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall.” Wang Xu sighed. The mall in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall was for the strong to browse. Most of it was high-priced equipment. The Genius Legion happened to be compatible with Wang Xu’s level. It was specially built for them and was relatively more suitable for him to use. “There are a lot of things, it’s a pity that the really valuable ones are too expensive. 10,000 contribution points can’t even buy an A-grade weapon.” Wang Xu couldn’t help but complain.

The points in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall were very valuable because they were not easy to obtain. The amount was very small, and the exchange ratio was also very small. On the contrary, the Genius Legion had a very high exchange ratio for contribution points. Ordinary level three insect beasts were given 30 points in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall, but in the Genius Legion, they were given 100 points, which was more than three times higher.

This situation directly caused the 10,000 contribution points given to him to be inferior to the 3,000 points given to him by the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall.

After closing the webpage, Wang Xu planned to accumulate this sum of contribution points first to buy A-grade armor or S-grade weapons.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

In the past month, Wang Xu has gained a lot. The “core” in his body had already been shattered by him five times before it was reorganized. Under the care of his brothers in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall, he went out of the safe zone to experience an adventure. However, the journey was calm and quiet. Wang Xu was extremely disappointed.

“Are you Mr. Wang Xu?” One day, an officer-like man came to the door and said humbly.

“Guide?”

“Yes, a month’s time is up. I’ve been ordered to guide you to the Genius Legion.”

Wang Xu immediately stood up.

“Let’s go!”
