Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

The people inside the Institute of Technology felt tense. After being put under a pressure of more than 50%, no one from the test had been eliminated. Leopold and the others had glimmers of joy in their eyes.

In the previous tests, nearly 50% of the people had been eliminated in the first half of the test. However, this time, none had been eliminated.

They all continued to watch as the data for pressure endurance was still increasing...

80%...81%...82%...83%...84%...85%...86%...87%...

Quentin, Spencer, and Derek were delighted when they saw that no one was eliminated when the pressure endurance level reached 80%.

"Ha! This batch of recruits were able to endure the pressure level of 90%!" Derek laughed happily.

"Maybe they can all pass!" Quentin sounded excited.

This seemed like a miracle, especially after 33 rounds of defeat! This victory had made everyone very excited.

"It's impossible. Someone will surely be eliminated. I've never heard of all 50 people passing the test," Vanessa was unconvinced.

Quentin smiled and looked at Vanessa. Suddenly, she felt that this new colleague looked more likeable.

95%...96%...97%...98%...99%...

Everyone in the Institute of Technology watched the data closely and became more nervous. They were all secretly praying that all 50 people would pass.

100%!

The data displayed 100%, with none being eliminated! Even the technicians in the Institute could not help but cry out in joy.

"All passed!"

"It's a miracle!"

"When you take into account the previous 33 failures, this was really a miracle!" Derek couldn't help but exclaim.

This was something that had never happened before, but yet it had happened today. All 100% of then had passed the first round!

Even Leopold gave Vanessa a weird look now. This was because in all the 33 rounds of testing that Vanessa had prayed for, the results were horrible! But, in the last round, when Vanessa was angry and had cursed them to fail, they had all succeeded!

Leopold could not help but doubt Vanessa, wondering if she was indeed a jinx. Vanessa felt this, and instantly got angry. She then said, "So what if they passed the first round? Maybe they will all fail the second round!"

At this time, Steve, who was in the armored robot, was unaware of the chaos ensuing outside. Under the pressure level of 100%, Steve felt his whole body become very heavy, as if he was covered with a thick layer of armor everywhere.

Under this level of pressure, one's muscles would tighten up, as if they were in a state of constant exertion. It felt as if one was constantly holding up a dumbbell, leaving the whole body tensed. Steve was able bear this, however, as his spiritual power could tap into his strength to relieve the extra stress and tension.

"Heart of the Universe, how can we offset this pressure?" Steve inquired.

"Master… According to your current body data analysis, there are three methods. First, if your brain development can reach 50%, with the careful control of your human body, you can totally ignore the physical pressure brought on by the armored robot."

The Heart of the Universe continued, "The second way is that once your basic cell value reaches 450, the strength of your body can absolutely withstand this pressure. Third, when your brain development reaches 30% and your basic cell value reaches 400, the combination of the two can also sustain the pressure. This third method is by far the fastest and most effective method."

Hearing the analysis report, Steve looked calm. Apparently, it was not easy to fully withstand the pressure of an armoured robot. After all, there were no more than five soldiers, whose basic cell values were at 450 points in the whole military base camp.

Just then, a voice was heard near Steve. "Brain wave fusion is about to begin. This will cause a serious pressure on the brain and will be accompanied by several side effects. Please be prepared, soldiers."

The second round of fusion was finally about to begin. Steve took a deep breath, put the previous problems behind him, and began to prepare. The people in the Institute of Technology also quieted down to focus their attention on the testing.

"Start the second round of testing!" Lieutenant Leopold gave the order.

Technicians immediately started linking the student's bodies' pressures to their brains. Suddenly, their bodies were subjected to tremendous pressure, causing a tremendous load on their brains.

This could possibly lead to brain damage! Therefore, the fusion process would always slow down at this point, thus allowing the students to adapt gradually.

1%... 2%... 3%... 4%... 5%... 6%... 7%... 8%... 9%... 10%...

The numbers on the big screen showed that the brain wave fusion data had reached 10%, and none of the 50 people had experienced any adverse reactions yet!

"Ha ha! Good! 10% has passed, and no one has been eliminated yet!" Spencer gave a big laugh.

According to the records, most people were being eliminated when it reached 5% and at least half of the people were most likely to be eliminated when it reached 10%.

15%...16%...17%...18%...19%...20%...

At last, the data reached 20%. Two of the 50 people were pale and distorted, as if they had experienced some kind of unspeakable pain.

"No. 19, you have already reached your limit. You can stop testing!"

"No. 12, you have also reached your limit. You can also stop testing!"

Although two of them were eliminated, Leopold and the others did not show any signs of frustration. Instead, they only became more excited!

Only two people had been eliminated when the fusion level reached 20%. These were so far!

To drive an armored robot, one must be able to withstand a minimum fusion level of 50%. Because of the tremendous pressure that was placed on the body and mind when operating the armored robot, this pressure might lead to the decline of the operator's combat status in all aspects. So, one also had to achieve 50% of the daily combat state in order to be qualified.

Even though the number seems low, it is not to be underestimated, as this 50% combat power of an armored robot is extremely powerful. Even with 50% of combat power, one could easily defeat another with a combat value of 300 points!

That is to say, soldiers with a basic cell value of 300 could defeat those with a combat value of 600 by operating an armored robot. Hence, to be able to increase so much combat power was indeed a fearful thing!

However, it was important to remember that 50% was only the qualifying mark. The higher the percentage, the more capable the armored robot was considered to be.
