Chapter 944: Revenge
Planet Blue Ray’s college entrance exam ended quickly in one morning.
On top of that, the AI graded the exams, which meant that the scores came out instantly. After that, what was left was organizing and reviewing the results. The students could see their ranking in the afternoon.
After the exam finished, none of the students left. Instead, they had their lunch quietly while waiting for their results.
A person’s entire life depended on this moment.
‘Ding! Planet Blue Ray’s Year 20099 college entrance exam review is complete. Announcing the rankings now!’
At 1 pm, a robotic female voice circulated within the campus grounds.
In an instant, all the students stirred to life. They gathered on the school field, staring at the largest electronic screen.
On the first row, in bold letters: “Lin Meng, Student ID: FH1997, Results—Academics: 100, Crafting: 100, Practical Combat: 100! Total Score: 300, Brain Development: 35%! Flying Rainbow City: Rank 1! Planet Blue Ray: Rank 3!”
…
The crowd immediately fell silent. Soon after, it erupted in discussion.
“I can’t believe it… It’s a full score! Heavens! How did this Lin Meng suddenly do it?”
Many students were in disbelief. “Cheating? Impossible. The exam uses the best technology in the entire alliance. There is simply no way he could have cheated. Did he simply perform beyond his abilities? Isn’t this way too lucky?”
“College entrance exams rank students by their scores. Brain development is nothing more than an additional factor. There are two people in front of him who scored full marks as well. In reality, their grades are the same. Lin Meng lost to them in his brain development score! That’s why he’s third!”
“If he lowly, then what are people like us? Brain development of 35%! He can even apply for East Dragon University, right?”
Their discussions continued endlessly. Jealous gazes shot at Fang Yuan, their fiery glares nearly lighting him into flames.
“Brat, were you faking your scores in the previous exams?”
Seeing this result, Xiao Hongyue glared viciously at Fang Yuan. She was so angry, she was grinding her teeth.
“Top scholar! Flying Rainbow City’s top scholar, Planet Blue Ray’s third is from our Flying Rainbow High. Wonderful. Make arrangements to take a picture with this Lin Meng and preparations for him to give a speech to the students. We need to publicize this to the media!”
Flying Rainbow High’s principal could not stop smiling after seeing this result.
Flying Rainbow City’s top scholar was from Flying Rainbow High. This was within reason. However, being able to make it to the top three on Planet Blue Ray was shocking.
Furthermore, he knew that Lin Meng’s results were not any worse than the first and second place scores. Instead, it was because of his family background. He did not have the appropriate meditation and training. Otherwise, his brain development would have been at a higher level.
“However, I remember that his brain development was only at 30%. He even suffered from a small accident. It looks like Hongyue has her eye on this kid. Did she give him a mid-tier brain development drug?”
The principal was glowing with joy. He rubbed his bald head as he tossed this question to the back of his mind.
“Lin Meng…”
Ling Fei’er looked at the electronic screen, her expression turning complex.
Even though she could have entered by early admission, she still decided to take part in the college entrance exam. Furthermore, she had done her very best. Her total score was 283, ranked second in the entire city!
Unfortunately, she was seventeen points away from Lin Meng. The difference was vast.
“Lin Meng?” Ling Fei’er mumbled his name as a memory from the past surfaced.
At a particular lake, a red-faced boy had confessed to her.
His blurry face immediately became clear to her.
If she had a vague impression of Lin Meng and Xiao Hongyue leaving together, the release of the results truly solidified her impression of him. This planted a seed deep within her heart while its roots grasped tightly on to it, growing steadily.
Not good… the backlash from Red Dust Meditation!
Ling Fei’er’s complexion changed.
Red Dust Meditation required one to be free from complex thoughts. If the user had impure thoughts, it would lead to complications. The price to pay might even lead to a deterioration in brain development!
This was the terrifying truth of a top-tier meditation technique!
Even if one obtained it, if they could not maintain and keep up with the technique, their spirit and brain would regress accordingly!
…
“Son of a bitch!” Jarvis glared at the electronic screen. He gritted his teeth so hard, he was about to bleed. “How did that brat become so amazing? Was he just pretending before?”
Even if he had designed many schemes, his target was no longer a student preparing to enter college. Instead, his target was actually a top scholar. These were two very different types of targets.
Jarvis understood this clearly. With Fang Yuan’s current fame, the media would be monitoring him closely. If anything happened to him, the police would also pull out all the stops to investigate the matter. There was no way he could escape.
If that happened, all of Planet Blue Ray and society would find justice for him. Even his backer would not be able to save him.
“Damn it! Damn!” He cursed angrily, his eyes revealing frustration. “My scores barely made the mark. I can only enter the lowest-ranking cultivation universities. But Lin Meng can attend East Dragon University. If the higher-ups find out my relationship with him, they’ll give up on me!!!”
Cultivators that graduated from East Dragon University were absolute elites, the cream of the crop.
Even if they graduated with average results, the connections they made at East Dragon University and the knowledge they gained would be completely different. They could suffer fifty years less!
Jarvis was terrified of the consequences. His eyes glazed in fear. Suddenly, they turned to animosity again. “No! I can’t just sit here and let this happen!”
…
“Teacher Hongyue!”

Fang Yuan was utterly indifferent to his score. Instead, he was more concerned that two other students managed to score full marks like him. This left him feeling a little shocked.
However, being able to attain the status of the top scholar in Flying Rainbow City was sufficient. Numerous reporters were waiting outside the school.
From Fang Yuan’s perspective, they were his protective talismans.
As he watched Xiao Hongyue walk toward him, he could not help but smile and greet her.
“Good job, brat…” Xiao Hongyue pinched Fang Yuan’s cheeks brutally. “So you’ve been holding back all along. I was wondering why you were so confident of getting into East Dragon University!”
No matter how much he explained, he would never be able to clarify the issue. Fang Yuan could only respond awkwardly, “Sorry…”
“Forget it…” Xiao Hongyue stretched her hands out. “You’d better prepare yourself. The media will be waiting for you outside. After that, you have to make a speech for the school and take part in some promotional activities. After that, you’ll fill in your application, and you can continue with your life. East Dragon University is on Planet East Dragon. It’s a long journey there!”
“Understood!”
This world’s college entrance exams were a little different from Fang Yuan’s memories.
For example, summer break was practically non-existent. High school sophomores or first-year students could relax a little. However, for the Human Alliance, students who intended to enter cultivation universities would be shamed if they wasted even a single day. As such, once they put down their application, they would be admitted on the spot and had to report to school within ten days.
Putting it this way, I don’t have much time left. I need to settle my grievances now! Fang Yuan thought quietly.
…
Late at night.
The day passed by in a flash. The entire Flying Rainbow City indulged in celebrations.
Fang Yuan put on a black coat. With some make-up, he looked more mature. Most importantly, his build and aura had changed. Even people who knew him well would not be able to recognize him.
Even though I’ve put on make-up, if Xiao Hongyue uses her spiritual will, there’s a decent chance she might recognize me. But I have no choice… I’m just an ordinary person. No matter what techniques I use, I don’t have the power. There are still limits!
Fang Yuan pulled his cap down. Even so… Jarvis is also just an ordinary person. He stays in Starry Village. The security there isn’t tight…
For the past few days, he did not merely spend his time hiding. He was looking up information on Jarvis. This time, he was going to take care of him once and for all.
After all, it was irritating to have a fly buzzing around your ear.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a small district. Fang Yuan got off the car as he assimilated with the darkness.
Since my stats window isn’t fully unlocked, my power isn’t any stronger than the peak of an ordinary person…
His True Spirit allowed him to control every muscle and skin fiber within his body. In his previous life, he would be like a super soldier king.
Of course, most important was how he had developed a technique to hypnotize ordinary people!
Playing with someone’s psyche was child’s play for a Dream Master’s Dream Dao.
Although there was no way Fang Yuan could use Dream Master techniques, it was still possible to use used some gestures and words to hypnotize an ordinary person.
“Who are you?”
He chose not to climb the walls to infiltrate the district. After all, this was a high-end district with astonishing defensive measures such as a surveillance system using infrared scanners and so on.
“I’m a buyer. I just bought a new house here, so I’m here to see it!” Fang Yuan’s muffled voice said slowly, and he pulled out something that looked like identification.
“Hmm, all right. Please enter!”
The security guard’s mind was blurry. For an instant, he felt like the face before him seemed familiar while moving aside.
…
In a bedroom, on the bed.
Jarvis was in a deep sleep. His forehead was covered with sweat, as if he had had a nightmare.
“Ahh!” he yelled loudly. He woke up and sighed. “As expected… I have to take care of Lin Meng. Otherwise, he’ll destroy me in the future!”
“You’re right!”
A dark shadow flashed by, and Fang Yuan walked out from the curtains.
“Who are you?”
Jarvis narrowed his eyes into slits. He thought he was still dreaming.
However, in the next instant, he grabbed on to the bed frame, terrified.
“Stop struggling. I’ve already taken care of your hidden card. Also, I’ve turned off your wristband. Inside this house, there’s no way you can send a single message!”
“Impossible… to turn these things off, you need the password!” Jarvis exclaimed in shock.
“You told me, in your sleep…” Fang Yuan laughed. “Thank you for telling me everything. You can go ahead and die now!”
“Wait, which organization are you from? Dark Python? Did the upper brass send you to eliminate me?”
Jarvis laughed in despair.
“None of that is important…”
Fang Yuan scattered a handful of powder. At the same time, he began chanting a strange spell.
Jarvis’s face froze. All of a sudden, he clasped his chest, his face warping in pain before he fell over.
He had scared himself to death!
