This is not mechanical ascension.

His whole body swelled rapidly, his height approached 2.5 meters, his muscles were as tight as iron, and a strong force surged in his body.

The small shorts covering the private parts were stretched tight, veins bulged under the skin, and blood vessels were throbbing.

"Bao Xiong, the strength has increased by nearly two times, and the defense has increased by nearly one time." Li Ming panted, but there was a sense of relief in his heart, as if he had untied some kind of restraint, and he wanted to smash everything.

The progress of his gene development has reached 70%, and after crossing 60%, the development speed has slowed down again.

But Li Ming is now rich and powerful. He spent 6,000 metal energy points to directly upgrade the two E-level detection devices on his body to D-level gene radiators, each with 100% development progress.

Without [Thunder Body Forging], the overall development blessing has reached 500%, which is equivalent to level 10 in terms of development potential. The development speed is still not slow.

The energy level is close to 90E. After all, it is a top-level elemental gene seed. At the same level of energy level, it must be stronger than ordinary gene seeds.

The double blessing of the violent bear form, the regular blessing of the armored four arms, plus the double blessing of [Charge Strike].

The overall is five times, and the instantaneous burst energy level is close to 500E, which has already touched the D-level life body water.

After a moment of familiarity, the body shrank rapidly again. He glanced at the time and said, "Take a rest. The assessment will be tomorrow."

...

"Brother Li, Brother Li, don't sleep, it's going to be late!" He was woken up by Ge Hong early in the morning. The little fat man seemed very excited.

"It's only five o'clock. Are you in such a hurry?" Li Ming packed up and saw that everyone was ready to go.

"Let's go early to avoid queuing behind." Ge Hong grinned.

"My development progress has reached 100% of the F level. Maybe I can try for the key training class." Zhang Huaiyuan said, which happened in the past two days.

It would take some time, but on the way here, he was stimulated by Li Ming. Everyone was busy training, so he naturally didn't want to fall behind.

There were several times when he couldn't hold on, but he couldn't find anyone else to talk to, so he just gritted his teeth and continued. At this time, he was grateful for himself at the time.

Others were also full of expectations.

………

The Capital University of Technology occupies an entire island, covering a vast area.

In early October, the sky was a little cloudy and there was a tendency to rain, but the University of Technology specially dispelled the clouds and the sky was clear.

The driver of the hovercraft who sent them to the edge of the island shouted: "The future is bright!"

Several people waved their hands in response, turned around and looked at what was in front of them, all of them were a little stunned.

The place in sight was full of people, and the noisy sound went straight to the sky.

"This... there are too many people." Ge Hong couldn't help but say, "Is ten thousand people so many?"

"Onlookers, media reporters, parents sending students, and old students, add up to a lot of people."

The academy has no gate, only a crystal column hanging in the sky, projecting holographic projections around to guide the direction.

There are many things like flying vehicles shuttling back and forth in the academy, which should be internal transportation.

There is a long queue under the crystal column to register names. The crowded crowd is mixed with fully armed city guards with stern expressions, basically F-level life.

"Nuo Xing is here! She is really in the same class as us!" Ge Hong shouted, looking excitedly not far away.

The figure is slender, with a light blue long skirt hanging down to the ankles, a slender waist, and a delicate profile, just standing there quietly.

A few women gathered around her, surrounding her in the center, but they didn't drive away others.

"Who is that guy? With a lewd smile on his face, how can he still talk to Nuo Xing." Ge Hong suddenly gritted his teeth.

Ji Ya rolled her eyes: "How can I be lewd? He is so handsome, blond and blue-eyed, and very gentlemanly."

"Rosser, an E-class life form, his grandfather was one of the three members of the Blue Star Chairman Committee." Wang Bing said: "It is said that the development speed exceeds 90%, and he should be the most powerful guy in our class."

Russer was talking to Noxing, as if he was an acquaintance, and his words were very peaceful.

Several people lined up, and soon it was their turn. Li Ming naturally couldn't come to register with a letter of recommendation. He had already contacted the Capital University of Technology and his information had been registered.

"Li Ming, right, Jizao?" The staff in front of him looked up and seemed quite surprised.

The group entered the school, where there was a specially divided assessment area, surrounded by holographic cordons, and each major had its own stand.

They separated, and Li Ming followed the instructions and found the stand of Jizao.

"Uh..." Under the huge stage, there were dozens of people sitting sporadically. When they saw him coming, they all cast their eyes to look at him, and then quickly retracted them.

"There aren't that many people..." He shook his head and found a place to sit down.

Not long after

"Hey..." A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Li Ming looked up and was surprised.

"Xu Wei?"

"Call me sister. I'm a few years older than you." Xu Wei rolled her eyes and sat next to him familiarly. Her tight jeans were buried in the black boots on her calves.

Not far away stood a young man with a lot of bags on his back. He should be an accompanying staff member, looking over here.

Xu Wei said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you contact me when you arrived? You didn't reply to my messages. It was only when I contacted Xiao Yutou that I found you."

"Oh, do not disturb." Li Ming said, Xu Wei was speechless and sighed: "It's really unfortunate that your report cannot be sent out for the time being."

She stroked her hair and said helplessly: "My original idea was to wait for the things done by Xingyao Company on the Silver Gray Star to be exposed and cause a certain amount of heat, and then I would send it out. After creating a certain amount of public opinion, in this way, the University of Science and Technology should also have a certain bias towards you."

"Maybe you can even enter the key training class."

"But..." Xu Wei snorted coldly, fiddling with her press card:

"I don't know what kind of chips those bastards of Xingchuang Company have taken out to suppress this matter. If I force the report to be sent out, I'm afraid it will have no effect."

"It's okay." Li Ming didn't care in his heart, but comforted Xu Wei.

"Don't worry, I will definitely send this report out at an appropriate time." Xu Wei promised. He was very satisfied with his report, which was very topical.

But since it didn't contain any hot spots, it would be a waste to publish it rashly.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Wei went to work. The opening examination of Capital University of Technology was very eye-catching. All media would broadcast the whole process live to the entire Blue Star civilization.

While the two were talking, several more people came and sat down. They sat very scattered, and they all looked socially anxious.

………

Just above this area, a silver-white platform was suspended. It was quite large, and the students looked up from time to time.

On the platform, Professor Wu, who was wearing a black and purple suit, sat upright, one hand on the armrest of the seat, and the other hand flipped through the virtual screen.

"It's another opening examination. The examination of last year seems to be yesterday." On the other side, the middle-aged man in a gray-white suit was a little disappointed.

"Professor Bai, of course you feel like it's yesterday. The first place last year finally became your student. Now you should be preparing C-level gene seeds."

The old man next to him laughed and had a beard.

Professor Bai's face was full of wrinkles when he smiled, but he was still modest and said, "Professor Xia, you are joking. We have to wait. It's only been a year."

"82%, it's really fast." Professor Wu suddenly spoke, and the warm atmosphere between the professors was immediately broken.

Professor Bai restrained his expression and said indifferently, "Professor Wu is well-informed. It seems that he is always paying attention."

"I have heard about it occasionally." Professor Wu didn't even raise his head and looked through the information in his hand: "Snow Feather Falcon is indeed good, but it is not suitable for him. I suggest you consider Ice Swimming Pterosaur."

Professor Bai said in a deep voice: "His D-level gene seed is Wind Beak Ancient Bee, and Snow Feather Falcon is the most suitable."

Professor Wu looked indifferent: "Oh, you read the report of the Blue Blood Biological Research Institute a few years ago. There is an error in that report. If Snow Feather Falcon is used, then there will be very few gene seeds to choose from when it reaches B level."

Professor Bai looked a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Professor Wu, my students don't need you to point fingers at them."

"Alas , Alas, both of you, it's all for the good of the children, why bother to draw your swords. "Professor Xia tried to smooth things over, but added: "Professor Wu's achievements in genetic biology are obvious to all, Professor Bai, why don't you consider it."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but Professor Bai seemed to be stimulated and said loudly: "Everyone knows what he is like, a person who seeks fame and reputation and repeats others' ideas. He has long been notorious, and he is still pointing fingers here."

Suddenly, a sense of coldness spread here. Professor Wu turned off the virtual screen in his hand and slowly raised his head, pushed his glasses, and smiled: "What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly, can you repeat it?"

Professor Bai regretted it immediately, but it was impossible to admit his mistake now, so he just stiffened his neck.

"You have tried your best to become professors, and the reason why I am a professor is because there is no higher title in the University of Science and Technology." Professor Wu fired a map cannon, and many professors in the stands had some changes in their faces and stared at him coldly.

"What about me?" A virtual projection suddenly appeared on the main seat in the center. Although his hair was gray, his appearance was like that of a middle-aged man.

"Dean Chen..." Several professors seemed to have a backbone.

"You are better than them." Professor Wu was still nonchalant.

"That's not bad." Dean Chen smiled indifferently, "Professor Wu has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. This time he went to Silver Gray Star and eradicated a cancer for the local citizens, which shows his integrity."

Several professors sneered, and Dean Chen looked at Professor Bai:

"If it's really like what Professor Wu said just now, you have to think carefully when you go back. The school has invested a lot of resources. It's best to take a smooth evolutionary path."

"Got it." Professor Bai had a gloomy face.

"Professor Wu rarely comes out this time. Why don't you teach the first place this time." Dean Chen took the initiative to say.

The expressions of the other professors changed slightly. The top few in the assessment were not a one-way choice, but a two-way choice. They all have large local forces on Blue Star behind them, and they can achieve each other.

"I don't care about the ranking. Even if he is the first, he may be a leader on Blue Star, but he is not worth mentioning at the interstellar level." Professor Wu shook his head: "If I want to train him, I can pile up resources to make him a C-level life form."

"It depends on your liking."

Dean Chen's real body was nowhere to be found, and the virtual projection said casually: "Do those children on Silver Gray Star still suit Professor Wu's taste? After all, you have eaten with them."

"So-so." Professor Wu opened the smart terminal in his hand again and began to browse some information.

Dean Chen did not continue and ordered: "Get ready to start."

………

"Rose, how's it going? Are you sure you'll be the first this time?"

Next to the blond Rosser, there were several young people. They gathered in a circle, and Nuo Xing was among them. It should be a small circle.

There are even fewer people in this major, which is called genetic development. There is no need to attend classes, and there is only one goal for graduation, which is to become a D-class life form.

It can be said that it is specially prepared for those who do not need to waste time on ordinary majors.

Students in the distance cast envious and respectful glances from time to time.

"He must be number one. He is the strongest among us in terms of performance, development potential, and actual combat." Qi Xin next to him looked nonchalant, with a smile on his lips and asked: "Old Zhao, are you convinced?"

The person he was asking was a strong and angular young man. Hearing these obviously provocative words, he just glanced at him and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter where we are, we will definitely be able to enter the special training class." Rosser looked calm.

"There is no doubt about this. The problem is that this time Professor Wu, who has been silent for many years, suddenly came out." Qi Xin recalled:

"I remember that when I was a child, Professor Wu was at the top of his game and was invited by several interstellar laboratories at the same time. This is a great honor for us at Blue Star."

Another person sneered: "Times have changed, that is in the past, and the falsification of the theory is an unquestionable shame for a scholar."

"Ha..." Qi Xin sneered: "Come on, everyone, stop pretending, everyone knows what your parents said."

"There are rumors that Professor Wu's gene purification theory was not proposed by him himself, but came from a lost civilization..."

"Together!" Rosser suddenly scolded: "You don't even look at where this place is, and you speak without restraint."

"Okay, okay..." Qi Xin shrugged and raised his hands: "You are the big brother, you have the final say."

"However, since Professor Wu has come out, he must have a plan. You guys must be holding back your anger. Rosser, you have to be careful and don't overturn the car."

Rosser remained silent, and the other people's eyes met and then quickly looked away.

………

"Hello, classmate, I am..."

As time passed, there were finally more people around Li Ming. There were a few guys who were obviously familiar with each other and were looking for people to talk to.

They are all of average age and have a lot of topics in common, and we quickly became familiar with them.

"I have loved playing with various mechanical gadgets since I was a child. Those gears and links are so sexy that I can't stop doing it. I don't know why there are only these few people with such great professions."

The speaker's name was Yao Rui, his hair was a little messy, he was wearing a jacket, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.

Others also talked about the reasons why they chose this major.

"What about you, Li Ming?" Someone asked him. Someone just spoke to him, and Li Ming politely told the other person his name.

"My father opened a repair shop, and I have been watching him since I was a child." Li Ming said casually.

"What a coincidence, my father also opened a repair shop. My father is a well-known mechanic in our area and has opened several chains." Someone added excitedly: "My father made sure that I choose this major and do it in the future. Be bigger and stronger.”

"What about you? Did your father also let you choose?"

"That's not true." Li Ming shook his head and responded: "My father is dead."

"Ah?" These young teenagers were immediately in a hurry. The guy who asked this question turned red and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Precisely because they didn't know how to comfort him, everyone was too embarrassed to continue talking to Li Ming, so they deliberately ignored him and turned to discussing other things.

"...Customized gene seeds? Is there such a thing?"

Yao Rui shouted, looking surprised.

"You don't know?" Someone next to me explained: "There are no special requirements for merging gene seeds at the beginning, but when you wait until D and C level, it will be different."

"The previously fused gene seeds are integrated with itself. If the gene seeds are not selected appropriately, not only will it be impossible to continue evolving, but it may have counter-effects."

“If you choose well, you’ll get twice the result with half the effort.”

He gave a very simple example: "If your F-level gene seed controls the water element, and you choose to fuse the fire element at E-level, it will cause conflicts."

"It's just that it's still relatively weak and not obvious at this time, but if it's still so contradictory in the future, it's very likely to cause genetic aberrations."

"On the contrary, the power can be greatly increased by evolving according to a specific sequence. This is the genetic sequence."

This person's name is Fang Wuji, his clothes are very elegant, made of some kind of animal velvet, and he is relatively knowledgeable.

"What is a genetic sequence?" Yao Rui continued to be confused.

Fang Wuji explained: "The gradual fusion of the gene seeds of specific organisms is called a gene sequence. Some powerful gene sequences can emit energy levels that far exceed those of life forms at the same level."

"For example, the Feite royal family's Black Knight gene sequence and the Ice Phoenix gene sequence of the Etlan civilization are both famous in our Silver Star Cluster."

"What about our Blue Star?" Yao Rui was curious.

Fang Wuji shook his head: "Every gene sequence is the sum of the small and the small, summed up by the evolution of countless people. It is the core secret, and we at Blue Star do not have it."

Gene sequence... This was the first time Li Ming had heard of it, and he thought in his heart that the path of evolution might be far more profound than he imagined.

Seeing the gloomy expressions on everyone's face, Fang Wuji said again: "Forget it, I'm going too far. We are talking about customized gene seeds."

"This is the privilege of ranking first in the annual assessment. The Etlan civilization will customize D-level gene seeds."

"Everyone knows that some D-class life forms have mastered dual-element power, but it is extremely rare and can only be obtained by the Etlan civilization."

Yao Rui was greatly disappointed: "You ranked first in the assessment. That's nonsense. It's a blessing to be able to enter a key training class."

"Customized gene seeds?" Li Ming took out his smart terminal and browsed through the freshman discussion group, and indeed found information about the customized gene seeds.

Because the information in it was too complicated, Li Ming didn't read it much, and Zhang Huaiyuan and the others didn't mention it. Maybe they subconsciously thought that this thing had no business with them.

"Number one..." He rubbed his chin.

Needless to say the benefits of being number one.

However, it always feels too eye-catching and unsafe...

"quiet-"

While he was thinking secretly, a gentle male voice came from the desk. The sound waves spread evenly, not too loud, but could be heard by every student.

The noise gradually died down and everyone looked up.

"Capital Institute of Technology's first semester assessment, the potential test, is about to begin. Please don't run around, and don't panic if anything happens next."

Outside the freshman assessment area, there are reporters who are broadcasting live and students who are joining in the fun.

Especially the students in the first year of high school, they are very enthusiastic and feel a sense of inexplicable sourness. After all, they have been here since this time.

"That's Nuo Xing, she's so beautiful, hey, she's a junior."

"I heard that this class is very good, similar to the one five years ago."

"The most powerful ones are still the small group, most of them are ordinary people."

The freshmen assessment area was silent. Although the sun was shining brightly, it was very refreshing here.

The assessment of freshmen is divided into three stages. The first stage is preliminary selection, which mainly determines development potential.

They must be at least Level 2 excellent before they can enter the next round of classification of life forms. E and F levels will be divided at this stage.

Then there is the actual combat, and then combined with other results, a comprehensive evaluation will be carried out.

The evaluation of development potential is not a blood test one by one. Ten thousand students are here, so how long will it take to test them? A more high-end method is used.

The silver-white sitting platform lower chamber slowly opened, and a cube metal block about five meters wide floated out from under the sitting platform and spread out on all sides.

The tapered mechanical structure extends out into a slender and sharp cylinder.

Four transistor lines are connected to it. Along with the buzzing sound, the bottom begins to charge, and the sharp column becomes brighter and brighter.

The bright beam of light shot straight into the sky, causing people to scream, and then a sky curtain dropped down, scanning the area from the left and right sides, going back and forth.

"The biological detectors of the Etlan civilization can screen the development potential of life forms on a large scale, but the error is very large." Fang Wuji said.

"Generally, we choose to test more than ten times and take the average, and then use color to distinguish the development potential. You should be able to see it later."

Soon, testing stopped.

Then a beam of cyan light fell from the sky and enveloped a student.

This is just the beginning, and a large number of light beams will follow.

"Hmm... Not bad, cyan light beam, level three development potential, almost the same as measured before." Fang Wuji's body was shrouded in a white light beam.

Looking at it, most of it is gray, only a small part is white, less cyan, blue gathered together, and purple in the center.

Among the purple, there are two faint orange light pillars.

"It's really rare to have two people with level six development potential." Fang Wuji couldn't help but be surprised, and then looked around, preparing to see what development potential his classmates had.

"Yao Rui is white, not bad..."

"Grey, gray..."

From the corner of his eye, his face suddenly froze, his pupils suddenly shrank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. His heart seemed to be grabbed and he couldn't breathe.

A golden beam of light landed right behind him!

It’s another day with tens of thousands of dollars. Please count the votes. It’s not too much, hehe.
