Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge stood up and walked into the assessment room without much hesitation.

Once inside, the metal door slammed shut with a heavy thud.

The testing room was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and you couldn't see anything at all.

Ye Ge was a little puzzled. Why weren't the lights on? What was going on?

"Shh-"

Suddenly, a powerful sound of wind breaking came from beside my ears!

Before Ye Ge could react in an instant, he had already subconsciously tilted his head to dodge, narrowly avoiding the opponent's sneak attack!

"Hmm?" The attacker was clearly surprised, not expecting that Night Song could dodge his attack so easily.

In reality, the opponent's sneak attack was extremely swift and cunning. The attacker's strength in the darkness reached the peak of the ninth stage of the Profound Realm. Theoretically, it would be impossible for an ordinary child of this age to dodge the attack of a warrior of this level!

Ye Ge remained vigilant; he had already sensed that there was more than one person in this place.

Soon, the attackers launched a second attack.

There was indeed more than one attacker in the darkness.

Ye Ge heard more than a dozen different footsteps coming from all directions, making the originally quiet space seem very chaotic.

'I see...' Ye Ge now roughly understands what the assessment entails.

This round is indeed a test of physical abilities in close combat.

However, almost all of the dozen or so examiners for these assessments were at the peak of the ninth stage of the Profound Realm.

In such a dark and ambush-filled environment, the trainees who come in for the assessment have almost no chance to fight back.

Then there's only one path left.

—Get beaten up!

Being able to withstand blows is a skill in itself; the more resilient a person is, the higher their health and the stronger their defense will be.

Trainees who can withstand ten minutes of repeated beatings are indeed qualified to pass the assessment.

'This is such an outrageous and unusual assessment...'

'but......'

'I'm not going to take ten minutes of beatings for nothing.'

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes, using his mental power to sense the examiners who were attacking him from the surrounding darkness.

Black mist surged and swirled around him, accompanied by the sharp cawing of crows echoing in the darkness...

The examiners, wearing night-vision goggles in the darkness, were stunned when they saw the red-eyed crows flying out of the black mist.

What's this? ? ?

......

Ten minutes passed.

The white metal door creaked open slowly.

Ye Ge walked out of the room unharmed.

His condition was the same as Gao Shenxue's; even his hair and clothes were perfectly in place.

Instructor Scarface watched, thinking to himself, 'As expected of someone from a family of demonized mutants, they do have some skill.'

"You've passed," Instructor Scarface told him. "Go wait outside."

"Hmm..." Ye Ge took a few steps outside, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, are there any medical-type superhumans?"

"Yes." Scarface was taken aback, thinking to himself, "So he really is injured after all."

"Go to the door, to the second room. If you're injured, you can get treatment there first."

Ye Ge said, "Oh, you misunderstood. You're not going to treat me."

"Hmm?" Scarface's half-broken eyebrow twitched slightly.

Who else could be receiving treatment?

"I think the examiners inside probably need some treatment."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Ge's shy and well-behaved face.

Then he turned and left the hall.

Scarface stood there frozen for a few seconds.

He immediately realized what was happening and seemed to understand something, so he rushed into the metal room to check.

As the metal door slowly opened, light slanted into the dark examination room.

There were more than a dozen examiners lying on the ground in different positions, completely motionless.

They appeared to be unharmed, but they had all passed out, and their expressions before losing consciousness were extremely ferocious, fearful, and pale, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they fainted!

Scarface could sense that they were all severely injured, and their soul power was already very weak!

Scarface's pupils contracted sharply.

What exactly happened?

......

Principal's room.

Lan Mi's eyes shone brightly!

She had seen everything that had just happened in the assessment room through the magic mirror.

"Hey, hey, hey! Earthsea!"

The beautiful female principal couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, excitedly saying, "Did you see clearly just now? Did you see how this child behaved?"

"I...I saw it clearly..." The Mediterranean elder was still stunned, his face full of astonishment as he said, "It's unbelievable...This kid actually defeated seventeen examiners at the ninth level of the Profound Realm all by himself! And he's already reached the third stage of the Profound Realm? Didn't his file say he'd only just reached the first stage of the Profound Realm...?"

"That's fantastic! Absolutely amazing!" Lan Mi exclaimed with the joy of a child seeing their favorite toy in a shopping mall, looking incredibly happy. "This child's potential has clearly not been fully realized yet. Did you see his fight just now? He didn't even use his full abilities! I never expected there to be such a promising talent in the regular class! It's such a pleasant surprise..."

The elderly man with the receding hairline paused for a moment, then sensed that Principal Lan's tone had changed, and quickly said, "Principal, you wouldn't... want this child to enter the inner core, would you? Absolutely not! Duke Wang En and the Federal Superhuman Association..."

Lan Mi glanced at him: "Di Hai, you seem to care a lot about Duke Wang En and the Federation's Superhuman Association? Could it be that you took money from them?"

"Well..." The elderly man with the receding hairline coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Headmaster, to be precise, it wasn't me who took their money, but the academy... This season's income for the academy also includes thirty practical training rooms, one hundred sets of extraordinary experimental equipment, twenty alchemy furnaces, and five hundred training dolls donated by Duke Wang En and the Federal Extraordinary Person Association..."

"Oh? So that's how it is?" Lan Mi pressed her finger to her lips, thinking carefully for a moment.

“Yes,” the Mediterranean elder continued, “and Leng Yue Ning, the palace master of Yue Ning Palace and president of the Imperial Immortal Cultivator Association, whose apprentice is currently studying at your academy.”

"Nangong Ru, the Director-General of the Imperial Night Watch, has a younger sister who is now also an inner disciple."

"These two important figures also harbored extreme hatred towards demonized humans."
