Next.
Zhu Qianqian mentioned some precautions to Lin Yuan about using the Virtual World Cabin Slot.
Then she respectfully exited the room.
"Virtual World Cabin Slot..."
Lin Yuan carefully observed it for a while before lying down inside.
Hum—
A slight vibration swept over him.
Lin Yuan only felt a slight numbness on his skin,
then he heard the voice by his ear, "Replication complete, please connect the Evolver to the Virtual World."
"Welcome to the Assessment World."
When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a stern man looking at him.
"Assessment World?"
Lin Yuan immediately felt his own body.
The physical strength, the circulation of Yuan energy within his body, and the spiritual foreign power in the Niwan Palace in his mind.
All had no difference from his body outside.
"The Cosmic Human Alliance truly is terrifying..."
Lin Yuan inwardly gasped, such perfect replication meant that he had no secrets.
"Not right."
"The Door to the Myriad Realms hasn't been replicated."
Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, his consciousness concentrating deep within his mind.
Where the Door to the Myriad Realms should stand, there was nothing but emptiness.
"Even the Cosmic Human Alliance can't replicate the Door to the Myriad Realms?"
"Or is it that they can't even detect the existence of the Door to the Myriad Realms?"
Lin Yuan sighed with relief while he couldn't help speculating.
"Evolver, please choose your assessment scenario." The stern man not far away suddenly spoke.
As soon as the voice fell,
various scenes appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
There were deserts with endless sand, forests dense with ancient trees, cities with towering buildings...
"The desert will do."
Lin Yuan casually chose one.
"Scene confirmation complete." The stern man waved his hand.
The surroundings instantly transformed, and Lin Yuan found himself in the midst of a desert, with sweeping sands and scorching temperatures.
"Based on the energy fluctuations within the Evolver's body, this assessment will start directly from the First Rank."
"First is an opponent of First Rank Stage One, and you only qualify for the next assessment if you defeat them."
"Do you understand?"
The stern man's gaze serenely met Lin Yuan's.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Whoosh.
The stern man disappeared.
Not far away, large swathes of sand swiftly converged, forming a humanoid figure.
This was a tall man, with dark skin, and even a fierce black horn growing on his forehead.
"Die."
The black-horned man didn't say another word and charged towards Lin Yuan.
"His speed is a bit faster than the ordinary Grandmaster, but he's no threat to me."
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
Following the stern man's indication, the assessment went from weak to strong. The first opponent was at First Rank Stage One, and only after defeating him could Lin Yuan face the opponent of First Rank Stage Two.
Crack.
Suddenly, the black-horned man stopped, his eyes dimming in an instant, his body dissolving into sand and scattering away.
Lin Yuan stood still, without having moved an inch.
The quickest way to defeat an opponent far weaker than himself was to use Spiritual Martial Arts.
With Lin Yuan's strength of 'spirit' from the Free and Unfettered Realm, he could instantly crush the opponent's spirit and soul.
Sigh.
The sand condensed once more.
Lin Yuan's opponent was still the black-horned man.
However, this time the black-horned man's presence had increased once more, reaching near the Grandmaster Peak level.
But still,
Grandmaster or
Great Grandmaster,
for Lin Yuan, it was just a matter of a glance.
Like this,
in a few breaths,
he faced the ninth opponent.
This opponent was still the black-horned man.
But unlike the previous eight, the gaze of this black-horned man was deep, and after forming, he did not immediately attack Lin Yuan.
"An Evolution Path akin to a spiritual master?"
"This time I've specifically strengthened my soul defense, I can negate sixty percent of your spiritual attack methods."
The black-horned man's mouth showed a trace of cruel smile.
Although he was a life intelligence simulated by a massive amount of data, he also had basic emotions, and being crushed instantly eight times did not feel good to anyone.
"Die."
After the black-horned man spoke, he once again took large strides forward.
But in the next moment,
Crack.
A slender right hand had, at some unknown time, seized his neck, and then with a twist, exerted force.
"Who told you I only have spiritual attack methods?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
For Evolvers of the Martial Path Evolutionary Path, the physical body is always the most fundamental, as for psychic power? It's merely a force born from a strong physique.
"You, you are not a Psychic Master class of Evolver?"
The man with the black horns couldn't believe it and immediately transformed back into yellow sand.
The Psychic Master class of Evolvers possess bizarre psychic attack methods,
but indeed have a shortcoming in their physical strength, and even if some powerful Psychic Masters enhance both evolutionary paths by consuming gene potions, they find it hard to completely erase this disadvantage.
...
Evolver's Association.
After Zhu Qianqian exited the assessment room, she returned to her workstation.
"I wonder at which level Mr. Lin's Evolver status will be fixed."
Zhu Qianqian was quite curious, staring intently at the screen in front of her.
To protect the privacy of Evolvers, the battle scenes that occur during the assessment are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.
Therefore, even internal staff like Zhu Qianqian are not privy to the specific assessment content.
They can only gauge how many stages the Evolver ultimately passes and which level they are fixed at by the number of light columns that light up on the reality screen.
"Miss Zhu, has Mr. Lin already gone in?"
Zhu Qianqian had just sat down for a bit when the president of the Evolver's Association came over.
As the president of the Evolver's Association, it was completely unnecessary to pay attention to an Evolver's assessment.
It's just that Lin Yuan was not only an Evolver, but also a second-tier citizen.
A second-tier citizen, even without an official position, holds a status not much lower than his, the president.
Plus, this second-tier citizen was someone the president of the Evolver's Association had never heard of, so he made a special trip, intending to get to know him after the assessment was complete and to cultivate some connections.
No matter the reason, it was certainly no mistake to be on good terms with a second-tier citizen.
"Ah? President."
Zhu Qianqian immediately stood up nervously, stuttering, "Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin has already gone in."
"Don't be nervous."
The president of the Evolver's Association was in a good mood.
"Okay."
Zhu Qianqian composed herself and sat down at her station again.
"Miss Zhu, what level do you think Mr. Lin will be fixed at?"
The president of the Evolver's Association also became interested and asked casually.
"Mr. Lin is a second-tier citizen, so since he has come to register, he must have at least First Rank strength..."
Zhu Qianqian cautiously said.
For ordinary people, becoming an Evolver is extremely difficult.
But in the eyes of high-ranked citizens, there are many methods, with the simplest being to buy a bottle of gene potion and follow the 'Genetic Warrior' Evolution Path.
Although Genetic Warriors have significant weaknesses, lack potential, and are very reliant on external items,
there is no doubt they are also Evolvers.
"Not bad."
The president of the Evolver's Association nodded slightly in agreement.
He too believed that Lin Yuan definitely had First Rank strength and couldn't possibly still be an unranked Evolver.
Normally, high-ranked citizens are likely to be Evolvers, but many weaker ones remain first-tier citizens.
"In my opinion, Mr. Lin's final ranking will be fixed from First Rank second segment to third segment..."
The secretary standing beside the president spoke up.
This speculation prompted the president of the Evolver's Association to nod again.
It's not difficult for high-ranked citizens to become Evolvers, but still a threshold exists to becoming a strong Evolver.
And that threshold lies between the third to the fourth segment at First Rank.
In the twelve segments of the First Rank, each set of three is a bottleneck; advancing from third to fourth segment takes not only hard work and effort but also a certain natural talent.
High-ranked citizens may have extraordinary capabilities in other areas, contributing to human civilization and earning recognition from the Goddess of Wisdom.
But the talent for evolution... that's something money cannot buy.
Using gene potions can indeed forcefully improve one's strength, but there's a certain risk of death, and high-ranking citizens wouldn't joke with their lives.
"Zhang has a good point."
The president of the Evolver's Association looked approvingly at his secretary.
Zhu Qianqian listened on the side, with no objections of her own.
Even though she had a good impression of Lin Yuan, strength still spoke for itself.
"Inform me when Mr. Lin's assessment is over," the president of the Evolver's Association said, preparing to leave.
Just at that moment, on the display screen in front of Zhu Qianqian, the first light column suddenly lit up.
"It seems that Mr. Lin has already started the assessment."
Seeing this, the president of the Evolver's Association suddenly didn't want to leave and decided to sit down and wait for Lin Yuan's assessment to end.
In the president's view, Lin Yuan, at most, had the strength of First Rank third segment and only needed to pass three stages.
What happened next, however, left the president of the Evolver's Association stunned.
On the display screen, after the first light column lit up, the second light column did so in an instant.
It was immediately followed by the third one.
Then the fourth.
Then the fifth.
...
Until the twelfth.
It was almost within a few breaths' time.
All twelve light columns lit up.
And at this point, the president of the Evolver's Association hadn't even fully taken his seat.
"This is twelfth segment?"
Zhu Qianqian widened her eyes, and the president beside her was also somewhat astonished.
