[Evaluation: Perfect.]
A cold, chanical voice sounded in everyone’s mind, announcing the end of the brutal battle.
No one cheered. All eyes were firmly locked on Qin Feng.
Powerful!
Incomparably powerful!
This General Star from Morningstar had put on a one-man show, a display of power so overwhelming it seed to co from another dinsion, completely conquering every prodigy present.
-----------------
Atop the high black platform, the atmosphere was completely different from before.
If Qin Feng completing the first hunting mission had brought the masters "surprise," then the overwhelming dominance he displayed in the team battle this ti left these Constant Star-level Powerhouses—all of whom were accustod to seeing genius—feeling "amazed" and "full of appreciation."
On the light screen, the image remained frozen on the crater valley of planet G19182-B11.
Insect corpses littered the ground, alongside broken weapons and one hundred prodigies who, though exhausted, couldn’t conceal the awe in their eyes.
And all those gazes of awe were focused on the figure at the center, standing with a spear in hand like a Demon God.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Elder Mu Lin, liquor gourd in hand, took several large gulps before letting out a long breath, his eyes filled with unconcealable admiration and wonder.
"This kid’s Thousand Army Spear... to say it’s rely at the Control level is an understatent. This is a killing art born for the battlefield!"
The mont he finished, Yue Hong, a red-haired master with a fiery figure, cut in. "Elder Mu is right. The power of the Control Realm lies not in the strength of individual moves, but in understanding and commanding the entire state of the battle. Plus, the Thousand Army Spear is one of the ultimate killing arts created by the Imperial Military Departnt for large-scale warfare. It’s all about gaining ’montum.’ Watch—"
With an elegant wave of her hand, she pulled up the battle replay.
"Whether it was the precise defense at the beginning, forcefully breaking the encirclent during the Middle Stage, or later picking off those high-threat Gunpowder Insects, every single one of his spear strikes landed in the most crucial position, with absolute precision. Under his coordination, the entire hundred-person squad took down an artillery encampnt that would have troubled an ordinary thousand-man legion—and they did it with almost zero casualties. That kind of battlefield dominance... is even greater than that of a military academy cadet."
"And it’s not just his spearmanship."
Master Lv Lan, a man with a scholarly face, pulled up a data set. "According to the system’s real-ti feedback, throughout the entire high-intensity battle, his stamina was three tis that of his peers! And during the final pursuit, the instantaneous explosive force of his attacks consistently peaked at over 270,000 kilograms, just as consistently as when he was killing the transport bugs!"
He looked to Yu Han beside him, his tone tinged with disbelief. "Senior Yu Han, you are vastly knowledgeable. This kind of physique has, without a doubt, far surpassed the scope of a Gold-Standard Human, Grade III. He’s practically a juvenile Starry Sky Giant Beast in human skin!"
The other masters imdiately voiced their agreent.
A gentle smile remained on Master Yu Han’s face. He nodded in agreent. "He is indeed a promising talent. His temperant, aptitude, and strength are all impeccable. The Combat Power he’s displayed makes him, without a doubt, the strongest among this batch of new students."
Control Realm spearmanship, a monstrous physique, and near-perfect Combat Wisdom...
This combination was enough to make him the kind of peerless genius any top Martial Arts University would go crazy for.
’But... is that all there is to it?’
The imperious, incredibly majestic figure of Lord Zhou Xiong once again surfaced in Yu Han’s mind.
’Would a black-hole-level being who commands an endless Star River and has legions of powerhouses at his beck and call really go so far as to personally descend, breaking rules that have stood for millennia, just for this?’
’No, that’s not right.’
’Yu Han was absolutely certain. Qin Feng must be hiding a deeper secret—one that even he, and perhaps even the upper echelons of Cannan Star Martial Arts University, knew nothing about.’
’He couldn’t be one of the God-Chosen, could he?’
The thought appeared so suddenly that it even startled Yu Han himself.
’But after thinking it over, it seed genuinely possible.’
’Observing him for a few years should be enough to confirm it.’
Yu Han took a deep breath.
...
When the faint light of spatial teleportation flared and then slowly faded, Qin Feng found himself back at his starting point—the vast, magnificent admissions plaza of Cannan Star Martial Arts University.
However, the sight before him made him pause.
The once-empty plaza was now a sea of people.
Tens of thousands of figures were scattered across the plaza. Most of them were dejected and downcast, their eyes dim. Their bodies bore the scars of battle, but they had lost all trace of fighting spirit.
A heavy atmosphere of dejection and defeat hung over the entire plaza.
Uniford volunteer Martial Artists moved among them, handing out recovery Potions.
"These people... could they have all passed the second mission already?"
Lei ng muttered in disbelief as he gazed at the vast sea of defeated candidates.
"No, that can’t be right."
Tiemu, who was beside Qin Feng, shook his head, a trace of solemnity appearing on his perpetually calm face.
"The assessnt has only been going on for two months. Even if the groups after us were incredibly efficient, it’s impossible for tens of thousands of people to complete the first two tasks in such a short ti. If I’m not mistaken, these are all candidates who were either severely injured during their missions or judged that they couldn’t complete them, and were consequently rescued by the volunteer Martial Artists and deed eliminated."
