Chapter 907: Chapter 468: Li Ming, the last place, familiar enemy_2

"Who told you to stand in the first place? Don’t you know your own potential?" The giant’s expression was indifferent, "Such a waste!"

Crow was bewildered, wasn’t it just random standing?

Costate, who stood in the middle, felt a flicker in his eyes, standing according to potential? What potential?

This means that those standing at the front should have quite a few benefits.

He cautiously turned his body sideways, standing at the very front was Lancaster, someone from the Federation.

Not Li Ming? He was somewhat astonished, where was Li Ming?

"According to potential?" Li Ming was bewildered, carefully taking a few steps back again and again...

Didn’t step on anyone, was he last?

"Second last, go back to your position." The giant frowned again, and Crow didn’t dare say more, quickly getting up, with a frown looking at Li Ming behind him, he swiftly rejoined the queue.

The giant glanced over this lineup and couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, "A bunch of pampered people, I originally didn’t want to train you, if it weren’t for..."

At this, the giant’s expression changed a bit, and then seemed increasingly displeased, "Alright, if you can pass the assessment, you will be awarded the ’Holy Spirit Heart’, of course, you waste, can’t possibly pass."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly shaken, they seemed to have been swept into a half-running assessment program, each assuming some identity.

Just passing gets a reward, they were familiar with this.

Each of their civilizations, even their subordinates, had similar assessment mechanisms to select talents.

Just didn’t know, what is this Holy Spirit Heart?

"You have a few minutes to prepare." The giant left a sentence and suddenly disappeared again.

"Mikhail, what on earth is happening!" Crow gritted his teeth, lowering his voice.

"Mikhail, stop hiding." Others also urged, currently unclear about the situation, no one dared to act rashly.

Mikhail knew too, hiding further would incur public wrath, speaking lowly:

"We don’t know the specific situation either, only that this is a kind of ongoing, extremely difficult assessment mechanism, because of the collapse of the Holy Spirit Civilization, it’s stuck here, that giant seems to be the mimic projection of the Terrax."

"Here, don’t speak loudly, don’t move around recklessly, that giant’s temper is very bad."

"Terrax?" Costate was thoughtful, "It indeed seems so..."

"The Hammer Divine Craftsman told us, positions are determined according to comprehensive potential, comprehensive potential is decided by mental potential and physical potential."

Mikhail said, "It should represent two evolutionary routes, mental potential needs no more discussion, physical potential is actually development potential."

"Physical potential is development potential?" Crow sneered, "You’re trying to fool us, the Holy Spirit Civilization is clearly a civilization primarily of mechanical evolution, how can it relate to body evolution?"

Mikhail said lightly: "We call it development potential because the genetic evolution system holds the mainstream, before the genetic evolution system appeared, did you think development potential didn’t exist?"

"Just a change in terminology, the level of development potential can affect many evolutionary routes, in today’s interstellar space, there are many papers proving this, the Holy Spirit Civilization leads in mechanical evolution but doesn’t mean there are no other evolution systems."

"What is the assessment like?" Lancaster asked.

"Very simple, fight." Mikhail explained, "You just need to defeat your opponent."

"Simple?" Lancaster clearly didn’t believe, "If it’s simple, would you have no progress until now?"

"The method is simple, didn’t say the enemy is simple, the enemy is mechanical bodies, you need to successively battle against one, two, four enemies of the same level."

Another assessment of this type?

Li Ming mused, why do the Terrax love these kinds of trials so much,

"Seems not difficult though..." Cedric was puzzled, hadn’t they all experienced such situations?

"The standard of the enemy is unimaginably high." Reynolds grimly added, "Moreover, it’s measured by your own planned level, once on that podium, you will also regain usual strength."

"Didn’t Li Ming get in? Only x-level life forms qualify?" Costate asked, keeping a close eye on Li Ming.

"Logically speaking, there’s no such rule..." Mikhail was also puzzled, hadn’t finished speaking before hearing a voice leisurely from behind, "I’m here, at the last."

Mikhail’s face stiffened, still behind me?

Reynolds was stunned, "You’re actually behind Mikhail? Both of us have undergone mechanical body modifications, only mental potential was measured, comprehensive potential is frighteningly low."

"You’re even lower than us?"

Crow couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, he was also behind Mikhail, second last.

His development potential indeed wasn’t high, his ability to become an x-level life form was due to special factors.

Costate restrained the urge to turn around, feeling peculiar in his heart.

Standing at the front, Lancaster, has publicly developed potential of level fifty, Li Ming clearly exceeds level sixty, how did he end up at the back?

"Did the detection mechanism fail? Or did your teacher use some method to deceive it?" Reynolds was thoroughly puzzled.

Mikhail frowned tightly, "It shouldn’t be, how could this be, even the Hammer couldn’t conceal..."

Li Ming remained silent, the control bar currently filled with the main battle system, not the evolution system, his current development potential was below level twenty-five, being last was expected.

"Or perhaps, his development potential itself has issues." Gonzalez suddenly spoke from the middle, "Always found it strange, such high development potential, how could it appear silently, tracing ten generations back, there isn’t a single person with potential above level ten."

"Genetic mutation can’t result in such terrifying potential either; it’s highly likely he’s an experimental subject of the Azure Dragon, forcefully elevated to an A-level life form through some method, like injected water in meat."

"Is that so?" Diwusi frowned, she’d personally seen the development potential detected by the Dominion Holy Image.

Mikhail instinctively thought, if speculated this way, it made sense for the Azure Dragon to let Li Ming venture, implying he wasn’t as crucial as outsiders believed.

But... could it be this simple?

These folks, their knowledge regarding development potential wasn’t deep, calling it speculation would be accurate.

Faking development potential, isn’t just a matter of words.

Costate too was suspicious, about the speculations concerning Li Ming.

Externally there were many, precisely because his development potential was so abrupt and impressive, conspiracy theories were rampant.

Li Ming still said nothing, let them guess, his gaze was on the podium, pondering quietly.

"Are you ready?"

The abrupt voice sounded, the giant’s figure appeared again without warning, expressionless, though it was a question, it offered no chance for them to respond: "The first one, get up."

Lancaster just about to speak, felt his body uncontrollably lifting up, landing on the podium.

The invisible suppression within his body was lifted, vast life energy surged, yet always confined near the podium.

Soon, a gray mist flowed from all sides, enveloping half the podium.

Li Ming’s eyes grew increasingly surprised, could the enemy be...

The next moment, a familiar figure indeed entered his sight, slender and elongated, with grayish-white skin, it was the Abyss Clan.

It really was them, Li Ming felt somewhat speechless, he knew these folks so well he could nearly predict their moves.

Predicting their moves at the raise of a hand was a bit excessive.

But, not far off, after being thrashed a few thousand more times, it seemed he could reach that level.

For others, the feeling was entirely different, Costate’s face was tense, expression taut, "It’s the Shadow of the Eternal Abyss..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the giant’s gaze turn towards him, Costate’s heart tightened, hastily closing his mouth.

The Three Civilizations were indeed not unfamiliar with the Abyss Clan, Li Ming heard half the sentence, solidifying a suspicion in his heart.
