Chapter 163 A Perfect Ending
The final assessment space was an endless grassland.
As soon as Chen Yuan appeared, he immediately activated his mental domain, instantly taking in the entire situation of the assessment space.
He quickly identified several geniuses from the Qianwu branch.
"Good, it seems they are all well-behaved and stayed where they are, without running around."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
Yesterday, when everyone was discussing tactics, he specifically revealed his telepathic abilities, describing them as a tracking technique that allows him to locate other members as long as they are in the same world.
Therefore, their strategy was simple: once they entered the assessment space, everyone would wait in place for Chen Yuan to find them.
Unless you're unlucky enough to encounter an enemy at the start and get eliminated, once you reunite with Chen Yuan, it's basically a sure thing.
Indeed, this was the case. At least according to Chen Yuan's perception, the transmission in the virtual universe was very even, and there was no situation where the two contestants met at the very beginning.
After confirming the locations of the others, Chen Yuan flew towards the closest person, the burly martial artist named Tongshan.
Of course, considering that the entire assessment was being broadcast live and that there were Immortal-level team leaders from the 1008 branch watching, Chen Yuan did not act too exaggeratedly.
After flying for a while, he would stop in place, pretend to sense things, and then fly a distance again before sensing things once more.
Considering his power as a star-level being, he kept his sensing range within a few hundred kilometers to avoid attracting the attention of the immortals outside.
After several pauses, Chen Yuan finally pretended to sense the location of Tongshan, and his body leaped into the air, quickly approaching the other party's position.
Half an hour into the game, he finally met up with the first member of the Ganwu branch.
When Tongshan first saw a figure flying in from the horizon, he thought it was an enemy and stood on guard for a moment.
But then he saw the other person's figure clearly, recognized Chen Yuan's appearance, and his eyes lit up immediately. He excitedly shouted, "Chief Chen!"
How could I not be excited? Chen Yuan's performance has far surpassed the level of all the other contestants.
The fact that he was about to receive the other party's protection meant that the identity of a core member was beckoning to him.
"Copper Mountain." Chen Yuan landed and greeted him with a smile.
"I didn't expect Chief Chen to find me so quickly. Your tracking techniques are truly amazing."
Tongshan flattered him with a beaming smile, "Now I can rest assured."
"We were lucky; the location we were teleported to in the virtual universe wasn't too far."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly and explained, then said, "Let's not delay, let's set off immediately and meet up with the other teammates."
"Okay." Tongshan nodded repeatedly. For the sake of the core layer quota, he naturally followed the other party's lead.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan pretended to sense the surroundings again, and then flew with Tongshan towards the next member. Although they stopped and started along the way, they never deviated from their course.
And so, an hour later, they successfully found their second team member, the pink-haired girl Kavina. Then the group set off again to find their third member.
The rest of the journey went incredibly smoothly, as he was aware of everyone's situation.
Although Chen Yuan deliberately led the team on a detour, he still managed to reunite all the members within a day, including Nuolan. After finding all the team members, Chen Yuan also found Nuolan.
"Chen Yuan, your secret technique is too powerful."
Upon seeing the crowd surrounding Chen Yuan, Nuolan immediately exclaimed in admiration, "You've managed to gather everyone in just one day!"
"Luck, luck." Chen Yuan smiled. "Now that everyone is here, let's proceed as planned and head to the central area of the assessment space to wait for the assessment to end."
"With me and Nuolan here, we don't need to be afraid of the contestants."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's suggestion, Nuolan was the first to nod: "I'll do whatever you say."
The others immediately replied, "We're fine with that."
"Let's go!"
Led by Chen Yuan, the group arrived at the central area of the entire assessment space, a continuous mountain range. Chen Yuan found a secluded cave, where the group set up camp.
Time passed slowly, and Chen Yuan and the others spent the first ten days peacefully. However, as the assessment space continued to shrink, more and more contestants flocked to the central area.
On the thirteenth day of the assessment, they encountered their first battle against a ten-person team. The mentalist among them used his mental power to scan and discover the group hiding in the cave.
However, Chen Yuan was observing all of the opponent's actions. After realizing that the opponent had the intention to attack, he asked Nuolan to protect the others, while he took the initiative to attack head-on.
three seconds.
Just three seconds.
This seemingly powerful ten-person team was crushed by Chen Yuan's absolute strength, turning into streaks of light and dissipating into the air.
At the same time, in the virtual universe, on the square surrounded by 1008 buildings.
Nearly a thousand team leaders from various branches sat together, intently staring at the giant screen suspended in the sky.
For these immortal beings, each additional student who successfully advances to the core level means a substantial contribution point reward.
Therefore, even the immortals who are high above have become more alert at this moment.
As for why there are fewer than a thousand immortals here, it is naturally because some unlucky divisions were completely wiped out in the first two rounds of the elimination tournament.
The immortals, who were the leaders, naturally did not want to stay and become a laughing stock, so they wisely withdrew from the virtual universe long ago.
"Black Annihilation Marquis!"
Suddenly, an immortal clad in a black and gold battle robe stood up abruptly, angrily saying, "Isn't what you're doing inappropriate?"
℃
"It wasn't enough that you nurtured one Nolan; you've nurtured another, even stronger genius. Are you trying to sweep up all the core spots in one fell swoop?!"
At this moment, the screen in the sky was showing the shocking scene of Chen Yuan easily crushing the ten-man squad.
When he saw the geniuses he had carefully nurtured being utterly defeated by Chen Yuan, the immortal in the black and gold battle robe finally couldn't contain his anger and questioned the girl in the black veil in a stern voice.
As the black-and-gold battle robe immortality erupted, several other immortals on the field also frowned slightly and looked at the girl in black gauze. Their branch's geniuses had also been killed by Chen Yuan, so they naturally shared the same hatred.
Faced with questions from several colleagues, the girl in black veil remained calm and responded indifferently: "Lord Jin Feng, the rules for this assessment were decided by everyone through discussion. Chen Yuan and the others did not violate any rules."
"As for your claim that I cultivate geniuses—" she sneered slightly, "What a joke. You're not so naive as to think that geniuses of this caliber can be cultivated simply by throwing resources at them, are you?"
"I admit that Nolan is a genius I specially cultivated, but I had already reported it to the company in advance and received permission."
Hei Yanhou said calmly, "As for Chen Yuan, you can always access the files in the virtual universe to see if I have had any contact with him over the years."
Normally, the core assessment should be fair in principle, and all participants should be "natural" geniuses. However, there are exceptions. If a division discovers a particularly outstanding talent in advance, it is allowed to focus on cultivating that talent in order to avoid wasting it.
Nolan falls into this category; before being discovered by Heiyan Hou, his strength was already comparable to that of the members of the Doomsday Secret Realm.
It fully meets the standards for early training.
Therefore, no one had much to say about Nuolan's situation; their main concern was the sudden appearance of Chen Yuan.
A genius who is suspected of being secretly trained without being reported is clearly in violation of the rules—because each branch only has one spot for early training.
Hei Hou remained calm about this, because she had never contacted Chen Yuan after he joined the branch, in order not to leave any evidence against him.
As expected, after reviewing the relevant intelligence, "Golden Peak Marquis" discovered that Black Annihilation Marquis had indeed not contacted Chen Yuan, meaning that all of the other party's actions were compliant.
"So, did you find out anything?" The girl in black veil smiled slightly, her expression composed.
Jin Fenghou's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still shook his head: "The procedure is normal, it's not a violation."
"In that case, I won't keep you company."
Now that Chen Yuan had wiped out all the geniuses in the branch, Jin Fenghou had no reason to stay any longer. After nodding to the other immortals, his figure disappeared from the virtual universe.
Following this, several other immortals who encountered the same situation also withdrew one after another.
Hei Hou turned his gaze back to the big screen, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Time flies like water, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Chen Yuan and his group encountered several smaller teams. Some chose to remain neutral, while others took the initiative to attack.
Chen Yuan showed no mercy to those teams that dared to make a move, eliminating them one by one with swift and decisive action.
And so, the six geniuses of the Qianwu branch waited unharmed until the end of the assessment.
When the familiar notification sounded, the 100 surviving geniuses reappeared in the square.
Congratulations!
The girl in black veil gracefully approached Chen Yuan and the others, smiling and congratulating them: "From this moment on, you have officially become members of the Apocalypse Secret Realm and have been promoted to the core layer of the company."
Upon hearing the words of the girl in the black veil, Chen Yuan and the others exchanged glances and smiled.
