Task Complete, Applying for the Special Assessment! (End of This Volume)

Among them, Soul-Splitting Slash is the ultimate Soul Attack Ultimate Move, while Annihilation Blade Shadow serves as a side support move.

In battle, you can first use Annihilation Blade Shadow to weaken the opponent's Soul Defense, and then unleash Soul-Splitting Slash shatter the opponent's soul in one fell swoop!

Furthermore, Yang Yu had another idea: to continue working on the Annihilation Blade Shadow, constantly researching the path of 'Soul Annihilation,' so that in the future he could either further enhance the power of Soul Attack or use this as a basis to conduct in-depth research on methods such as 'Soul Slavery.'

Leidian is proficient in both the material and the spiritual realms.

Time encompasses everything.

As Yang Yu continued to delve deeper into understanding these two great laws, and with the many Secret Technique he acquired after joining the Virtual Universe Company, he became increasingly confident about the future.

Having made his plans, Yang Yu began to focus on integrating the complete Essence of Judgment into the two attacks Soul-Splitting Slash and Annihilation Blade Shadow.

The night passed quickly.

As two already well-developed Soul Attack Ultimate Move, it would take a lot of time to perfectly integrate the Essence of Judgment into them.

That night, Yang Yu only got started, finding an opportunity to integrate the Essence of Judgment into the 'Soul-Splitting Slash'.

As for the Essence of Judgment being integrated into the Annihilation Blade Shadow, that has not yet begun.

There will be a lot of time and effort required going forward.

However, Yang Yu still had plenty of time.

After that night, Zhuliuyin Clone broke through to the Universe Level, and the essence of his soul evolved, greatly increasing his Soul Power.

As a result, their willpower was also greatly enhanced.

Yang Yu guessed that, with the help of Zhuliuyin Clone, his will had suddenly leaped to the peak of the Domain Lord Level Nine! He was only one step away from reaching the World Lord Level! At that time, Yang Yu's strength would be greatly amplified simply by relying on his strong will.

Overjoyed by the sudden increase in his willpower, Yang Yu took out the Thunder God Weapon and put it to the test.

As expected, the Human Original Body can now unleash the Thunder God Weapon Third Form – Galloping Thunder Style!

A bolt of lightning that had completely materialized.

Both its speed and attack power far surpass the Second Form.

In high spirits, Yang Yu went outside the tent, took out the Black Dragon Spaceship, and invited Fengling Yue and the others who were already waiting to enter the spaceship.

"There's not much of a challenge left. To save time, we'll fly directly to 'Storm Canyon,' hunt down enough Storm Beast, and then the mission will be complete," Yang Yu said, pointing to the screen projected into the air in the control room.

"Hehe, Master is so kind, this way we can save a lot of time," Doris said happily.

The others also showed expressions of relief.

Although there were no dangerous places ahead, the daily flight journey was still very tiring.

Now, with spaceships, a journey of tens of millions of kilometers can be covered in less than ten minutes.

"Everyone performed very well this time. Except for Bliss and a few others who were unlucky enough to die, you have all completed this assessment. After you return, you can either take another spaceship back to Earth on your own, or continue your space adventure."

Yang Yu looked at everyone and said.

Having reached this point, their fate has pretty much come to an end.

What happens next depends on their own fate.

"Master, we can continue to follow you on your adventures! Don't abandon us!" Doris panicked upon hearing this.

The beautiful eyes of the Fengling Yue sisters were also filled with sorrow.

As for Jarvis and the others, they had long anticipated this. The Combat Power and talent that Yang Yu had displayed along the way were far beyond what they could catch up with.

The role they played in this assessment was basically just night shifts and odd jobs.

Yang Yu faces all the real dangers alone.

Jarvis and the other male Martial Artist had long anticipated that once this adventure ended, they would likely never see Yang Yu again.

"All good things must come to an end. Focus on your cultivation; there may be opportunities to adventure together again in the future," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"After you return to Shilan Planet upon completion of the mission, I will give each of you a sum of money. Whether you can make any breakthroughs in the future depends on yourselves."

After Yang Yu finished speaking, Fengling Yue and the others were very reluctant, but they had no choice but to accept it.

The atmosphere became slightly tense for a moment.

Fortunately, the spaceship was fast, and it soon arrived at the Storm Beast's territory.

"Alright, you have one last test. We're still short 27 Storm Beast Cores. Now it's your turn to perform."

Inside the spaceship, Yang Yu addressed the group.

"We guarantee to complete the mission!" Fengling Yue and the others responded loudly.

"Go ahead, but be careful when hunting Storm Beast." Yang Yu said, then instructed the Smart Brain to open the hatch and let Fengling Yue and the others fly out.

Yang Yu, meanwhile, was inside the spaceship, watching them complete their mission through a panoramic simulation.

Inside the Storm Mountains.

"Sister, we can no longer adventure with Master from now on," Fengling Yin trembling with tears.

"There's nothing we can do about it, little sister, don't be sad. We all know how fast our master cultivates. If we continue to follow him, we'll only become a burden. Only when we become strong enough will we have the right to continue following him."

After the initial sadness, Fengling Yue quickly adjusted her mindset.

"I understand, sister. I will work even harder in my cultivation from now on!" Fengling Yin's cute and pretty face was full of determination.

Doris and the others also had a determined look in their eyes, secretly vowing to become strong!

They quickly found a small group of Storm Beast active within the Storm Mountains, numbering over thirty, all of whom had reached the Star Level 9.

Working together, they quickly hunted down all the Storm Beast.

Through this journey of trials, each of them had greatly improved their combat power. With the eight of them working together, the thirty-odd Ping Ping Star Level 9 Fierce Beast were slaughtered in just a few breaths.

Fengling Yin performed the best, single-handedly killing ten Storm Beasts with the help of her domain.

After dissecting the heads of the Storm Beast and extracting the crystal cores condensed within them, Fengling Yue and the others returned to the spaceship and handed the 27 crystal cores to Yang Yu.

The whole process took less than half an hour.

"Great! Now that we've gathered all the quest items, let's head back!"

Yang Yu said with a smile, while simultaneously giving a mental command to the Smart Brain to control the spaceship to fly towards the world's exit.

Just a few minutes later.

Yang Yu and his group then boarded the Black Dragon Spaceship and arrived at a location thousands of kilometers from the exit.

To keep a low profile, Yang Yu stowed away his spaceship beforehand and then flew over with everyone.

Upon arriving at the passage filled with Liuguang, Yang Yu took the lead and stepped inside, followed closely by the Fengling Yue Sisters, Doris, Jarvis, and others.

When the Liuguang fades and consciousness returns.

Yang Yu and his group returned to the villa above Xingmeng Lake.

They arrived at the office on the first floor of the villa, which was specifically for handling mercenary assessment procedures.

Yang Yu handed 27 Shilan Crystal, 27 Storm Beast Crystal Cores, and their Adventure Card to a female staff member with pointed ears and a full head of blonde hair.

The staff took the items, carefully checked them, and confirmed that the quest items all came from the Shilan World. They then scanned Yang Yu and his companions' Adventure Card.

"Drop!"

"Congratulations! You are now officially registered as One-star Mercenary within the Universe Mercenary Alliance registration system!" the beautiful staff member congratulated you with a smile. "You can view your detailed information on your personal client in the Virtual Universe."

"Thank you. We'll take our leave then."

After Yang Yu finished speaking, he took the Adventure Card and led everyone away from the villa.

After three months, the Apprentice Mercenary Assessment was finally completed.

Yang Yu also made great progress during this period. His Zhuliuyin Clone successfully broke through to the Universe Level, and the amplitude of his Psychic Amplitude and physical Force Amplitude both reached 70!

This is also thanks to the solid foundation of Zhuliuyin Clone and the great progress in the Time Law, which allowed the Original Body's strength to also leap forward like a rocket.

After all, Yang Yu's consciousness is the consciousness of Zhuliuyin Clone, and the Clone's Original Body naturally also possesses it.

Similarly, the Lightning Law that the Original Body comprehended can also be used by the Zhuliuyin Clone!

Outside the villa, Yan Hun was already waiting.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the Apprentice Mercenary Assessment!" Yan Hun congratulated him with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back."

Yang Yu nodded slightly, then led the way to their residence on Shilan Planet.

For convenience, Yang Yu had previously bought a villa on Shilan Planet to stay in, and now he was going there.

During the flight to the villa, Yang Yu transferred one billion Ganwu Dollar to each of the eight people, including Fengling Yue, and one hundred billion Ganwu Dollar to Yan Hun, as their future cultivation funds.

Silently accepting the money Yang Yu transferred, Yan Hun and the others became even more determined to cultivate and become stronger.

Back at the villa.

Yang Yu told them to do as they pleased, and then went up to the top floor of the villa.

This is his private rest area.

Enter the Cultivation Chamber.

Yang Yu's consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, and he found the page of External Member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Scroll to the bottom of the page.

There, the words "Special Assessment Application Office" were prominently displayed!

The user clicked 'Confirm'.

Yang Yu's consciousness was then transported to an unknown area.

This place is magnificent.

People were coming and going in the spacious hall.

I walked over to one of the reception desks.

"Hello, I'm applying for Special Assessment," Yang Yu said to the staff member.

"Okay, sir." The staff member said, and an electronic light appeared in his eyes as he scanned Yang Yu.

"Sir, you are Special Grade Elite of our company's Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch in the Ganwu Universe Country. Your current level is Star Level 9, which qualifies you to apply for the assessment qualifications of the 'Primal Secret Realm,' 'Taichu Secret Realm,' 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm,' and 'Endless Secret Realm.' May I ask which secret realm assessment you intend to apply for?"

"Friendly reminder: The 'Primal Secret Realm' assessment is the most difficult, while the 'Endless Secret Realm' assessment is the easiest. Once you pass the assessment, you will immediately become Core Member of our company and enjoy corresponding benefits. Here is the specific information about the assessments for each secret realm. You can review it before making a decision."

Yang Yu carefully read through the virtual screen that appeared in front of the staff.

"For the Secret Realm Assessment, applicants must enter the 'Trial Space' to undergo the assessment. This Trial Space has a total of seven Trial Tower, each with seven floors. Each floor is blocked by powerful creatures, and the examinee must defeat them all within one day to advance to the next floor."

In:

"To pass the test in the Primal Secret Realm, you must complete all seven levels of the Sixth Trial Tower!"

"The Taichu Secret Realm requires you to successfully complete all seven levels of the Fifth Trial Tower."

"The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm requires passing the first two levels of the Fifth Trial Tower."

"The Endless Secret Realm requires you to successfully complete all seven levels of the fourth Trial Tower."

Below is detailed information about the Trial Tower.

The targets and number of enemies to be killed in the seven Trial Tower are exactly the same; the only difference is the strength of the enemies, and the difficulty of each Trial Tower will increase dramatically.

The first level consists entirely of Fierce Beast called 'Blood-Haired Mammoth,' totaling 10,000.

The second level contains 10,000 Demon Beast 'Nine-Headed Python'. The difference between Demon Beast and Fierce Beast is... their extremely high intelligence. Monsters on Earth, for example, are actually Demon Beast.

The third layer consists of 1,000 Metal Lifeform called 'Tuoluo Race Warrior'.

The fourth level contains 1,000 strange cosmic creatures called "Flying Hou," a particularly peculiar type of Fierce Beast.

The fifth level contains 100 Machine Race golems!

The sixth level contains ten colossal Starry Sky Behemoth, 'Azure'!

The seventh level contains one Zerg Mother Nest!

"Just as I thought!"

After reading it, Yang Yu had a clear understanding of the situation.

This Special Assessment was actually the same selection method used in the Trial Tower during the Genius Competition, only the requirements for passing were significantly higher than those in the Genius Competition.

Yang Yu remembered that in Luo Feng's year of the Genius Competition, many people who were hailed as the champions of previous Genius Competition only passed all seven levels of the Fifth Trial Tower, but all failed on the first level of the Sixth Trial Tower.

However, the current special application assessment requires passing all seven levels of the Sixth Trial Tower in order to pass the Primal Secret Realm assessment.

This requirement is indeed very high. Those who pass it will almost certainly become the champion of this year's Genius Competition and are fully qualified to become Primal Secret Realm Member.

After all, even Boluo, who was hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch figure, only managed to pass all seven levels of the Sixth Trial Tower, but failed on the first level of the Seventh Trial Tower.

Those Star Level geniuses who can completely pass the Fifth Trial Tower will rank among the top ten Star Level geniuses in the entire universe.

Such talent is enough to join the Taichu Secret Realm.

Even if you fall short, joining the Endless Secret Realm only requires passing all seven levels of the Endless Secret Realm Trial Tower. If your talent is truly sufficient, you can use the once-in-a-hundred-years Secret Realm Qualification Battle to advance to a higher Secret Realm and enjoy better treatment.

"I'm applying for the Primal Secret Realm assessment!" Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Primal Secret Realm?" The staff member was clearly a little surprised. Generally, most of the external Special Grade Elite who apply for Special Assessment only choose the 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm' or 'Endless Secret Realm' assessments.

It's not that there aren't people who dare to choose the 'Primal Secret Realm,' but it's a very rare occurrence.

And they almost never pass!

Such a genius hasn't appeared for at least hundreds of millions of years.

After all, it is extremely difficult to pass all seven levels of the Sixth Trial Tower at the Star Level.

The creatures on the sixth level, in terms of strength, have all crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, and their comprehension is quite high! If they participated in the Genius Competition, they could easily enter the top 100 in the universe!

Moreover, they can cooperate with each other, and with such a large number of them, their combined strength is even more astonishing.

Therefore, almost no one would choose the most difficult 'Primal Secret Realm' assessment right away.

"Sir, are you sure?" the staff member asked. "If you fail this time, you'll have to wait three hundred years to reapply."

Three hundred years is a very long time for such geniuses; they can almost all cultivate to the Universe Level within three hundred years.

And the difficulty of the Universe Level assessment will skyrocket.

This essentially means that there is only one opportunity to apply for the assessment at the Star Level stage.

"I'm sure!"

Yang Yu said with a smile.

With his complete understanding of the two fundamental laws of Lightning Law and the Human Original Body's Law Comprehension Time Law, which has Time Acceleration by 25 times, Original Body has mastered the Third Form of the Thunder God Weapon, possessing two ultimate Soul Attack Ultimate Move. His soul strength is comparable to that of a typical Universe Level powerhouse, and his will has even transformed to the peak of the Domain Lord Level Nine.

In addition, there Nine-Layer Thunder Domain, which perfectly integrates the Lightning Law Comprehension; the Thunder Body Technique, which perfectly incorporates the essence of 'speed'; the Thunder Blade Technique, which perfectly incorporates the Essence of Judgment '; and the Thunder God Weapon control form.

This Sixth Trial Tower couldn't stop Yang Yu!

Even the Seventh Trial Tower is not out of the question.
