Chapter 3 - Star Absorbing Dragon

The year is 4456 on the Xiuzhen calendar. VR (virtual reality) is now being implemented in various evaluation tests and universities. It's also equipment in Foundation Establishment schools, and it was being handed out for this designated event. The advanced spiritual power sensory built inside the chip perfectly transmits data about the user's spiritual energy and forms a 3D (three dimensional) environment almost instantly.

Moreover, it was funded by the government.

It was technology that blended spiritual data and talismans allowing for instantaneous conversion of environment and it was also able to stimulate real pain enhancing experience.

But for Jin Luo, this didn't matter.

No matter how advanced the technology was, it is, in the end— just stimulating foundation establishment core pain and building.

Even if Jin Luo stood still while the Earth exploded, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pain; and his form would be completely intact.

That being said, the same applies for Demon Kings or cosmic entities alike.

Nothing could destroy him. No matter how big, powerful, existence erasing, boundless... it just doesn't matter against him.

This was because he had long purified and blessed his flesh.

In other words, he obtained the Infinite Mage Body.

That year, Jin Luo had turned 9 years old.

For Jin Luo, the only thing he had to greatly watch out on was how to precisely pull back his aura in order for the system not to detect his highly powerful aura barrier— which would overstimulate the data chip causing it to be destroyed as well as the other VR headsets...

So, Jin Luo had been practicing for this very moment. His father had a full large box of VR headsets in the basement, and Jin Luo asked if he could train with them. Obviously, his dad was a little taken aback; but eventually agreed.

Out of all 5,245 headsets Father Jin was saving... only three of them survived!

—F**k! Some had been limited edition, he hadn't expected that his son would break them to this extent!

---

At this time, Lin Qian had put on her headset and the others could clearly see what was going on through a virtual holographic 3D screen that was displayed next to her.

The virtual monster that Lin Qian would be dealing with was a dragon.

The data prototype from which this was taken was from the "Star Absorbing Dragon" that tried to invade Yunhai city eight years ago!

And the person who defeated this longjian was none other than No. 72 Phoenix Head Of Excellence— Xue Feng!

Arguably, this was the most talented individual the school had ever tutored. Back then, he didn't have money to pay his school fees so he had to work multiple jobs, even so, he showed up on time and showed great interest into advancing through stages. The No. 72 Principal was awfully familiar with his father, and had accepted him in as his disciple. At the age of 17, he officially enrolled in No. 72 Phoenix Ridge Cultivation High School and was a senior— he had amazing grades and eventually promoted himself into the Jindan stage months later.

After his graduation, Xue Feng joined the Central Bureau of Scholarly Cultivation Schools, and served as general deputy director. Becoming its youngest master in the bureau's history.

However, during that time, Xue Feng was only known in a small minority. The situation that really popped him off to be known almost worldwide, was his great role in defeating the Star Absorbing Dragon in the "Beast Anomaly" eight years ago!

At that time, Xue Feng had released a sudden wave of qi energy from his sword and sliced the dragon that managed to get inside the city through the dimensions between galaxies in half!

After this battle, he became famous overnight!

Ever since, No. 72 Phoenix Ridge had implemented this "Star Absorbing Dragon" in order to honour Xue Feng for his glorious deed and for the next generations to learn from him.

Hence, in every evaluation exam around the city, this very dragon was being utilised...

"Hey! Dude, did you hear? They apparently further upgraded the system a few months back and the Star Absorbing Dragon is even more tough now!"

"Yes. When Xue Feng had defeated the Star Absorbing Dragon years back, its soul was removed from its body and it was converted into digital data. But at that time, the school's system couldn't handle the immense amount of spiritual energy from that dragon!"

"Now, after the equipment had been compiled, the Star-Absorbing Dragon's soul was being used as data input. Combined with our extra-realistic pain stimulation— it would enhance user experience even more."

An examiner nodded. "Right. But... I'm afraid, even this dragon is too much for Cute Lin to handle..." He said as he took a glance at the large reddish creature.

Although the school had made many changes in the Star-Absorbing Dragon's settings, the current system is based on the data input of the Star-Absorbing Dragon's soul thus stimulating a real-world environment.

As of right now, the true realm of the Star-Absorbing Dragon had further been reduced to Foundation Establishment. If it fails to identify innate abilities from said opponent, the results may not go to their liking.

Almost everyone's gazes were fixed on Cute Lin as they were anticipating her next move. Only Jin Luo seemed to yawn and stretch his arms deeply as he watched the scene.

To deal with this Star-Absorbing Dragon, you needed innate abilities or power to even inflict damage.

Jin Luo's current perception was far more powerful than any scientific device worldwide. His eyes were like a portable wave machine, being able to identify the total count of mederians of everyone around him as well as the openings.

There were a total of 350 mederians that needed to be opened during the Foundation building period, and Cute Lin's development had reached well over 80%. Even if she doesn't get a good blow on the longjian, her score wouldn't be too bad regardless.

Under the current anticipatory gazes of everyone, Cute Lin took a deep breath and clenched her right fist tightly, and suddenly advanced forward! With a loud bang, she hit the belly of the Star-Absorbing Dragon.

This was a key vital point. It was also where Xue Feng had sliced the dragon.

After the punch landed, few wisps of pink smoke were still floating from her fist.

This was strong proof of how friction and air can blend into one, showing that Cute Lin used all of her strength just now.

Almost instantly, a large "S+" appeared in the vast void!

"Student Cute Lin's attack reached S+!" Someone cried out.

The scene also made the four examiners shiver with admiration.

Their previous worries about Cute Lin had completely been uncalled for.

After all, she was the successor of the Qionghua Liuxinghe Group. The interview and assessment are as intense as cocaine!

Based on the system upgrade, the probability of even reaching the S+ Rank is only 2%, an S is 5% and A Rank and below is a 15%. The remaining ranks from C to etc. are evenly divided. As for the SSS rank and SSS+ ranks, their probability was so thin it was disposable.

The examiners recorded Lin Qian's data, and looked at the list roster. "Next student. Jin Luo. Come take the test."

"Uh...?" Jin Luo raised his head boredly, not expecting that it would be his turn so soon.

With a sigh, he stood up and headed towards the dais.

Ignoring Lin Qian's gentle smile as she walked past, Jin Luo carefully put on the virtual glasses. He increased the max capacity of his spiritual power tremendously as just one hectic or fast move could destroy the headset.

Fortunately... due to the training he had yesterday with the thousands of virtual glasses, Jin Luo was able to pass the first obstacle.

However, this was just the beginning.

Staring at the dragon before him, Jin Luo was kind of surprised.

Because, eight years ago during beast anomaly rage that was passed down from generation to generation, people thought that the Phoenix Head Of Excellence— Xue Feng, had defeated the Star-Absorbing Dragon.

When in fact, Jin Luo had killed it on his way to the convenience store.

That day, Jin Luo had just turned eight years old...
