Qiushen spoke to Lin Yuan again, giving him some precautions when using the virtual world cabin.
He respectfully exited the room.
"Virtual world cabin."
Lin Yuan carefully observed for a while and then lay down.
Buzz—
A slight ripple passed through.
Lin Yuan only felt a slight tingling on his skin, and then he heard the voice saying, "Replication complete, please connect to the virtual world, Evolver."
"Welcome to the assessment world."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a stern man looking at him.
"Assessment world?"
Lin Yuan immediately assessed himself.
Physical strength, the circulation of elemental power in his body, and the spiritual power in the Niwan Palace in his mind—all were no different from his external body.
"The Human Alliance is truly formidable."
Lin Yuan was secretly surprised. Such perfect replication meant that he had no secrets.
"No."
"The Gateway to the Myriad Realms hasn't been replicated."
Lin Yuan seemed to realize something and focused his mind deep into his thoughts.
In the position where the Gateway to the Myriad Realms should have stood, there was nothing.
"Even the Human Alliance can't replicate the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"
"Or is it that they can't even detect the existence of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"
While relieved, Lin Yuan couldn't help but speculate.
"Evolver, please choose your assessment scene," said the stern man nearby, suddenly breaking the silence.
As soon as he finished speaking, scenes appeared before Lin Yuan.
There were deserts with miles of yellow sand, forests with ancient trees, and cities with towering buildings.
"Just the desert."
Lin Yuan randomly chose one.
"Scene confirmed." The stern man waved his hand.
The surrounding environment changed instantly, and Lin Yuan found himself in a desert, with endless yellow sand and scorching heat.
"According to the energy fluctuations in the Evolver's body, this assessment will start directly from the first stage."
"First, you have to defeat the opponent at the first stage. Only then will you qualify for the next assessment."
"Understand?"
The stern man looked calmly at Lin Yuan.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Swoosh.
The stern man disappeared.
Not far away, a large expanse of yellow sand quickly gathered, forming a humanoid figure.
This was a tall man with dark skin, and a fierce black horn grew on his forehead.
"Die for me."
The man with the black horn didn't say a word, striding towards Lin Yuan.
"His speed is a bit faster than an ordinary master, but he's not a threat to me."
Lin Yuan remained calm.
According to the stern man, the assessments progressed from weak to strong. The first opponent's strength was at the first stage. Only by defeating him could Lin Yuan face a second-stage opponent.
Crack.
The man with the black horn suddenly stopped, his gaze dimming instantly, and his body turned back into yellow sand and dissipated.
Lin Yuan stood still, without even moving.
In the face of an opponent whose strength was far below his own, the fastest way to defeat him was to use spiritual martial arts.
With Lin Yuan's 'spiritual' strength at the Unrestrained Realm Realm, he could instantly crush the opponent's spiritual soul.
Exhale.
The yellow sand gathered again.
This time, Lin Yuan's opponent was once again the man with the black horn.
However, this time the black-horned man's aura had increased, reaching a level close to the peak of a master.
However.
Whether it was a master or a Great Grandmaster, it was just a matter of perspective for Lin Yuan.
Just like that.
In a few breaths.
He faced the ninth opponent.
This time, the opponent was still the man with the black horn.
However, compared to the previous eight opponents, this time the black-horned man's gaze was deep. After materializing, he did not immediately attack Lin Yuan.
"An Evolving path like a Spiritual Master?"
"I specifically strengthened my soul defense this time. I can exempt 60% of your spiritual attacks."
The man with the black horn revealed a cruel smile.
Although he was only an intelligent life simulated from a large amount of data, he had basic emotions. Anyone would feel uncomfortable after being instantly crushed eight times.
"Die for me."
After the man with the black horn spoke, he strode towards Lin Yuan again.
But in the next moment.
Crack.
A slender right hand, holding his neck at some point, twisted it with force.
"Who told you that I only have spiritual attack methods?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
For Evolvers on the martial arts evolutionary path, the most fundamental aspect was always the physical body. As for spiritual powers? They were just powers born from a powerful physical body.
"You, aren't you an Evolver like a Spiritual Master?"
The man with the black horn was incredulous, then once again turned into yellow sand.
Evolvers like Spiritual Masters possessed mysterious spiritual attack methods. However, in terms of the physical body, they were indeed lacking. Even powerful Spiritual Masters, who tried to balance both paths by taking genetic drugs, found it challenging to eliminate this disadvantage.
Evolvers Association.
After leaving the assessment room, Zhu Qianqian returned to her workstation.
"I wonder which stage Mr. Lin's Evolver rank will be fixed at."
Zhu Qianqian was quite curious, staring intently at the screen in front of her.
To protect the privacy of Evolvers, the battle scenes that occurred during their assessments were not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.
Therefore, even internal staff like Zhu Qianqian couldn't watch the specific assessment content.
They could only determine the Evolver's progress by the number of illuminated columns on the real screen, indicating how many stages the Evolver had successfully passed.
"Little Zhu, has Mr. Lin already entered?"
Shortly after Zhu Qianqian sat down, the President of the Evolvers Association walked over.
In his capacity as the President of the Evolvers Association, there was no need for him to pay attention to the assessment of a specific Evolver.
However, Lin Yuan was not just an Evolver; he was also a Second-tier Citizen.
Even if someone didn't hold an official position, the status of a Second-tier Citizen wouldn't be lower than that of the Association President.
In addition, this particular Second-tier Citizen was someone the President had never heard of before. Therefore, he came over specifically to wait and meet Lin Yuan after the assessment, to establish connections.
Regardless of the reasons, befriending a Second-tier Citizen would definitely not be a mistake.
"Ah? President."
Zhu Qianqian immediately stood up nervously, stammering, "Mr. Lin has already entered."
"Don't be nervous."
The President of the Evolvers Association was in a good mood.
"Good."
Zhu Qianqian steadied herself and sat back at her workstation.
"Little Zhu, where do you think Mr. Lin will be placed?"
The President of the Evolvers Association also became interested and casually asked.
"Mr. Lin is a Second-tier Citizen. Since he came to register, he must have at least the strength of the first stage."
Zhu Qianqian said cautiously.
For ordinary people, becoming an Evolver was extremely difficult.
But in the eyes of higher-tier citizens, there were many methods, and the simplest was to buy a bottle of genetic elixir and follow the 'Genetic Warrior' evolutionary path.
Although Genetic Warriors had significant drawbacks and lacked potential, relying heavily on external substances, they were undoubtedly Evolvers.
"Exactly."
The President of the Evolvers Association nodded slightly.
He also thought that Lin Yuan definitely had the strength of the first stage; it was impossible for him to still be a non-ranked Evolver.
Typically, higher-tier citizens were likely Evolvers, but many weaker Evolvers remained First-tier Citizens.
"In my opinion, Mr. Lin will likely be placed in the first stage, between the second and third stages."
The secretary next to the President, who was following him, spoke up.
This speculation made the President of the Evolvers Association nod again.
Higher-tier citizens finding it easy to become Evolvers was one thing, but becoming powerful Evolvers was another, and it had its own set of challenges.
And this challenge lay between the first stage third tier and fourth stage.
In the first twelve stages, every three stages formed a bottleneck. To advance from the third stage to the fourth stage, it required not only hard work and effort but also a certain level of talent.
Higher-tier citizens might have extraordinary abilities in other aspects, allowing them to contribute to human civilization and gain recognition from the Goddess of Wisdom.
But talent in evolution was something money couldn't buy.
Using genetic elixirs could forcibly enhance abilities, but there was a certain risk of death. Higher-tier citizens wouldn't play with their lives.
"Little Zhang is right."
The President of the Evolvers Association looked approvingly at his secretary.
Zhu Qianqian, listening nearby, had no objections.
Although she had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, strength was strength.
"After Mr. Lin finishes the assessment, remember to let me know."
The President of the Evolvers Association was about to leave.
Just then, on the screen in front of Zhu Qianqian, the first column suddenly lit up.
"It seems Mr. Lin has started the assessment."
Seeing this, the President decided not to leave, intending to wait for Lin Yuan's assessment to finish.
In the President's opinion, Lin Yuan, at most, had the strength of the first stage third tier. Passing three stages would be sufficient.
However, what happened next left the President of the Evolvers Association stunned.
On the screen, after the first column lit up, the second column instantly followed.
Then came the third.
The fourth.
The fifth.
Until the twelfth.
Almost within a few breaths.
All twelve columns were lit up.
At this moment, the President of the Evolvers Association hadn't even fully taken his seat.
"This is the twelfth stage?"
Zhu Qianqian widened her eyes, and the President beside her was also somewhat astonished.
