The President

The President Continues.

Zhu Qianqian gave Lin Yuan a few more reminders about what to watch out for when using the Virtual World Cabin.

Then she respectfully left the room.

"The Virtual World Cabin."

Lin Yuan examined it carefully for a while before lying down inside.

Buzz—

A faint fluctuation swept over him.

Lin Yuan only felt a slight numbness across his skin before hearing a voice by his ear. "Replication complete. Please connect to the Virtual World, Evolutionary."

"Welcome to the Assessment World."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a stern-looking man watching him.

"The Assessment World?"

Lin Yuan immediately examined himself.

His Physical Body Strength, the circulation of Yuan Power within him, and the Mental Energy inside the Niwan Palace in his mind—

Were all no different from his body in the outside world.

"The Universe Human Alliance is truly terrifying."

Lin Yuan was secretly shocked. Such perfect replication meant he had no secrets at all.

"No."

"The Door of Myriad Worlds hasn't been replicated."

As if recalling something, Lin Yuan focused his mind deep within his consciousness.

The place where the Door of Myriad Worlds should have stood was completely empty.

"Even the Universe Human Alliance can't replicate the Door of Myriad Worlds?"

"Or perhaps they can't detect its existence at all?"

Lin Yuan felt relieved, but he could not help speculating.

"Evolutionary, please choose your assessment scenario." The stern man in the distance suddenly spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Scenes appeared before Lin Yuan one after another.

There was a desert stretching for thousands of miles with Yellow Sand, a forest thick with ancient trees, and a city filled with towering buildings. "The desert, then."

Lin Yuan casually chose one.

"Scenario confirmed." The stern man waved his hand.

The surroundings changed in an instant. Lin Yuan found himself directly in a desert, with endless Yellow Sand and scorching heat.

"Based on the energy fluctuations within the Evolutionary's body, this assessment will begin directly at the First Order."

"Your first opponent is Tier 1 Stage 1. Only after defeating him will you qualify for the next assessment."

"Do you understand?"

The stern man looked calmly at Lin Yuan.

"I understand."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Whoosh.

The stern man vanished.

Not far away, a large amount of Yellow Sand rapidly gathered into a humanoid figure.

It was a tall man with dark skin and a ferocious black horn growing from his forehead.

"Die."

Without another word, the Black Horn Man strode toward Lin Yuan.

"His speed is somewhat faster than an ordinary Master's, but he poses no threat to me."

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

According to the stern man, the assessment progressed from weak to strong. The first opponent was Tier 1 Stage 1, and only after defeating him could he face a Tier 1 Stage 2 opponent.

Crack.

The Black Horn Man suddenly stopped. His gaze instantly dimmed, and his body turned back into Yellow Sand and dispersed.

Lin Yuan remained where he was, without moving at all.

Against an opponent far weaker than himself, the fastest way to defeat them was to use Mental Cultivation Art.

With Lin Yuan's Carefree Realm mental strength, he could instantly crush his opponent's mind and soul.

Whoosh.

Yellow Sand gathered again.

This time, Lin Yuan's opponent was still the Black Horn Man.

However, the Black Horn Man's aura had risen another level, roughly reaching the Grandmaster Peak.

Yet—

Whether a Master—

Or a Great Grandmaster—

To Lin Yuan, it was merely a matter of a glance.

And so—

Within a few breaths—

The ninth opponent arrived.

This opponent was still the Black Horn Man.

However, compared to the previous eight, this Black Horn Man had deep, unfathomable eyes. After forming, he did not immediately attack Lin Yuan.

"A Mental Master-type Evolutionary Path?"

"This time, I specially strengthened my soul defense. I can negate sixty percent of your mental attack methods."

A cruel smile appeared on the Black Horn Man's lips.

Though he was merely an Intelligent Life simulated from massive amounts of data, he still possessed basic emotions. No one would feel good about having their mind crushed eight times in an instant.

"Die."

After saying that, the Black Horn Man strode forward once more.

But in the next moment—

Crack.

A slender right hand had somehow gripped his neck, then twisted hard.

"Who told you that mental attacks were my only method?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

For an Evolutionary following the Martial Path of Evolution, the physical body was always the foundation. As for Mental Energy? It was merely power born from a powerful physical body.

"You... you're not a Mental Master-type Evolutionary?"

The Black Horn Man found it impossible to believe before turning into Yellow Sand once more.

Mental Master-type Evolutionaries possessed strange mental attack methods, but their physical bodies were indeed their weakness. Even some powerful Mental Masters who cultivated two Evolutionary Paths by taking Gene Potions found it difficult to completely erase this disadvantage.

Evolutionary Association.

After leaving the Assessment Room, Zhu Qianqian returned to her workstation.

"I wonder which stage Mr. Lin's Evolutionary rank will be set at."

Zhu Qianqian was quite curious as she stared intently at the display screen before her.

To protect an Evolutionary's privacy, the battle scenes that occurred during an assessment were not permitted to be made public.

Therefore, even internal staff like Zhu Qianqian could not view the specific contents of the assessment.

She could only determine how many stages the Evolutionary had passed, and what stage they would ultimately be assigned, from the number of light pillars appearing on the display screen.

"Little Zhu, has that Mr. Lin gone in already?"

Not long after Zhu Qianqian sat down, the Evolutionary Association President walked over.

Given the Evolutionary Association President's status, there was no need for him to pay attention to a particular Evolutionary's assessment.

However, Lin Yuan was not only an Evolutionary but also a Second Level Citizen.

Even if a Second Level Citizen held no official position, his status would not be much lower than that of the president.

Moreover, the Evolutionary Association President had never heard of this Second Level Citizen before. That was why he had specifically come over, intending to meet him after the assessment and build a connection.

No matter how one looked at it, befriending a Second Level Citizen could never be wrong.

"Ah? President."

Zhu Qianqian immediately stood up nervously and stammered, "M-Mr. Lin has already gone in."

"Don't be nervous."

The Evolutionary Association President was in a good mood.

"Alright."

Zhu Qianqian steadied herself and sat back down at her workstation.

"Little Zhu, what stage do you think Mr. Lin will be assigned?"

The Evolutionary Association President became interested as well and asked casually.

"Mr. Lin is a Second Level Citizen. Since he came to register, he must at least have First Order strength, right?"

Zhu Qianqian said cautiously.

For ordinary people, becoming an Evolutionary was incomparably difficult.

But in the eyes of high-ranking citizens, there were many ways to achieve it. The simplest was to buy a Gene Potion and follow the Gene Warrior Evolutionary Path.

Although Gene Warriors had major shortcomings, little potential, and relied heavily on external resources—

They were undoubtedly still Evolutionaries.

"Correct."

The Evolutionary Association President nodded slightly.

He also believed Lin Yuan definitely possessed First Order strength. It was impossible for him to still be an Unranked Evolutionary.

Normally, high-ranking citizens were likely to be Evolutionaries, but many weaker Evolutionaries were still only First Level Citizens.

"In my opinion, Mr. Lin will ultimately be assigned somewhere between Tier 1 Stage 2 and Tier 1 Stage 3."

The secretary standing beside the president spoke.

This guess made the Evolutionary Association President nod again.

It was not difficult for high-ranking citizens to become Evolutionaries, but becoming a powerful Evolutionary was also a threshold.

And that threshold lay between Tier 1 Stage 3 and Tier 1 Stage 4.

Among the twelve stages of the First Order, every three stages formed a bottleneck. To advance from Stage 3 to Stage 4, effort and hard work alone were not enough; one also needed a certain degree of talent.

High-ranking citizens might possess extraordinary abilities in other areas, allowing them to contribute to Human Civilization and earn the recognition of the Goddess of Wisdom.

But talent for evolution was something money could not buy.

Using Gene Potions could indeed force an increase in strength, but there was a certain mortality rate. High-ranking citizens would not gamble with their own lives.

"Xiao Zhang is right."

The Evolutionary Association President gave his secretary an approving look.

Zhu Qianqian listened from the side and had no objections.

Even though she had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, strength was strength.

"When Mr. Lin finishes his assessment, remember to tell me."

The Evolutionary Association President was about to leave.

Just then, the first pillar of light suddenly lit up on the display screen before Zhu Qianqian.

"Looks like Mr. Lin has started the assessment."

Seeing this, the Evolutionary Association President immediately decided not to leave. He intended to sit down and wait for Lin Yuan to finish.

In the president's view, Lin Yuan was at most Tier 1 Stage 3, so he only needed to pass three stages.

However, what happened next left the Evolutionary Association President stunned.

The moment the first pillar of light lit up on the display screen, the second pillar lit up as well.

Then came the third.

The fourth.

The fifth.

Until the twelfth.

In only a few breaths.

All twelve pillars of light had lit up.

And at that moment, the Evolutionary Association President had not even fully sat down.

"Stage 12?"

Zhu Qianqian's eyes widened, and the president beside her was equally stunned.
