This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 467: Li Ming, the last one, a familiar enemy

"Amazing level of technology." Costat couldn't help but sigh.

"But it was still destroyed." Cedric said, looking around, "It seems that there has been a great battle, but there are no bodies of the enemies to be found."

Reynolds added: "Not only the bodies of the enemies, but also the bodies of the Holy Spirit Civilization were not found. Only some remains of items were found."

"Even the Terrax civilization was destroyed, isn't that surprising?" Crow shook his head and urged, "Don't waste time. There shouldn't be much left in the places you haven't explored yet."

Mikhail's eyes flashed slightly, and without saying much, he led everyone in a certain direction, and the surrounding scenes passed by quickly.

This place looks like it was cut from a planet, with only the core part left?

Similar to the capital?

Li Ming wondered in his heart, who was he fighting against in such a brutal battle? The Yuan Clan?
Those high-level Abyss Clan members are indeed omnipotent in the use of various elemental energies, and their energy suppression is also very reasonable.

Thinking in his mind, Li Ming suddenly turned his head and was met with several unexpected glances, as well as Claude who looked away as if nothing had happened.

"arrive."

In front, Mikhail suddenly spoke, and the group stopped. The soldiers and mechanical bodies following them landed first and quickly spread out to the surroundings for preliminary exploration.

Mikhail landed in front of a dilapidated vertical building, which looked like a huge crystal. Its upper half seemed to be cut off, dark and dilapidated, but it was still nearly ten thousand meters high. Not far ahead was a cylindrical container that was flickering with a faint light.

"What is this place?" Costat looked up and asked.

"I don't know either..." Mikhail shook his head.

"Now that things have come to this, shouldn't you two provide more information?" Cedric was quite dissatisfied.

"Although we have explored it several times, we may not know as much as you do. However, it is indeed a bit strange here. Please experience it for yourself." Mikhail said with a faint smile, "Of course, if you don't dare, I won't laugh at you."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the cylindrical container, and as soon as he stepped on it, he disappeared without a trace.

"Boy, you go first." Reynolds reminded Li Ming and glanced at the other life forms.

Li Ming nodded, not feeling any fear, and stepped forward directly.

Reynolds followed closely behind, leaving only the others with somewhat ugly expressions. They looked at each other, and Costat said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

Although they hesitated, no one backed down and they stepped in step by step.

Li Ming felt dizzy, as if he was traveling through some kind of passage. There was a strange light all around him, and he felt strange in his heart:
"Why does it feel so much like the feeling when communicating with the Saint Castle?"

After a moment, Li Ming's pupils suddenly shrank and he appeared in a completely new space.

His first feeling was as if he was wearing a straitjacket, with most of his strength being confined.

Li Ming adjusted his body. "It is indeed similar to the feeling of descending to the Holy Castle, but I am using my own body, but it is suppressed by some force."

"How did I become a Class B life form?"

There were surprised and doubtful voices coming from all around. Li Ming looked up and saw various strange instruments placed around him, and right in front of him was a... ring?
He seemed to be standing in a queue, and there were more and more people ahead of him.

"Spiritual power is also suppressed..." Deus frowned.

"Mikhail, what the hell is this place?" Gonzalez asked in a deep voice.

"I'm not sure. This place is too incomplete. Many procedures are missing. I only know that it has been repeating itself all the time." Mikhail said in a low voice, tilting his head slightly, as if looking for something in the team ahead.

"However, if you explode your own strength below the ring, you will be directly expelled and will not be able to enter this time."

"What do you mean?" Claude was dissatisfied. He stood behind Mikhail with a frown on his face. He subconsciously wanted to walk out, but then he was met with a loud shout: "Who told you to move?"

This is not the universal language of the galaxy, but they understand it.

Immediately afterwards, a giant who was about five or six meters tall suddenly appeared. He did not look like a human being. He had a stern face and kicked Claude on the shoulder.

boom!
Klaue flew backwards and fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his arm and sweating profusely.

After many evolutions, his physical strength seemed to be suppressed. The pain made his eyes suddenly bloodshot. He looked up and shouted, "Who!?"

“How dare you make such a noise!” The other party strode over and kicked Claude again, sending him flying several meters away, his internal organs in extreme pain.

"This is outrageous. I've emphasized discipline time and again, but you still dare to move around right under my nose." The burly giant stared at Crow, "I don't care who your father or grandfather is. If you dare to disrupt discipline again, go home."

Claw's anger grew, especially when he caught a glimpse of Reynolds standing in front of Mikhail, grinning at him.

He had never suffered such humiliation before, but he did not have enough strength in his body to resist.

But then I remembered what Mikhail said, if the power exploded, I would be forced to leave here, and I don’t know what will happen next.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Crow lowered his head and said through gritted teeth.

"Go back and line up!" the giant shouted in a deep voice.

Crow struggled to get up, and had no choice but to limp back.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood still, he was slapped again, which made Claude see stars and fall to the other side.

"Who put you in the first place? Don't you know your potential?" The giant said indifferently, "You are such a waste!"

Claude was confused. Isn't this just a random position?
Costat, who was standing in the middle, had his eyes slightly moved. Standing according to potential? What potential?
This means that there should be many benefits for those who stand in the front.

He cautiously stepped aside, and standing in the front was Lancaster, a federal man.

Not Li Ming? He was a little surprised. Where is Li Ming?

"According to potential?" Li Ming was at a loss. He stepped back cautiously, then stepped back again, and then stepped back again...

He didn’t step on anyone, but he’s the last one?

"Second to last, go back to your position." The giant frowned again. Claude didn't dare to say more. He stood up hurriedly, glanced at Li Ming who was standing behind him with a frown, and quickly joined the team again.

The giant glanced at their team and snorted coldly, "You are a bunch of pampered guys. I didn't want to train you, otherwise..."

At this point, the giant's expression changed a little, and then he seemed to be more unhappy, "Okay, if you can pass the test, you will be awarded the "Heart of the Holy Spirit". Of course, you trash can't pass it."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were slightly shocked. They seemed to be involved in some kind of assessment program that was halfway through, but the giant's cognition did not update.

As long as they pass, they will get rewards, this is something they are familiar with.

Each civilization even said that they had similar assessment mechanisms to select talents. But I don't know what this Holy Spirit Heart is.
"I'll give you a few minutes to prepare." The giant left a word and suddenly disappeared.

"Mikhail, what's going on!" Klaue gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.

"Mikhail, don't hide." Others also urged him. Since they didn't understand the situation clearly, no one dared to act rashly.

Mikhail also knew that if he continued to hide, he would incur public wrath, so he whispered:
"We don't know the specifics either. We only know that this is some kind of ongoing, extremely difficult assessment mechanism. Because the Holy Spirit Civilization was destroyed, it was stuck here. The giant seems to be a mimic projection of the Terrax."

"Don't speak loudly or move around here. The giant has a very bad temper."

"Terraxians?" Costat thought, "They do look like..."

"The Hammersmith told us that the position is determined by the overall potential, which is determined by the mental potential and the physical potential."

Mikhail said, "It should represent two evolutionary routes. There is no need to explain the mental potential, and the physical potential is actually the development potential."

"Physical potential is development potential?" Crow sneered, "You are fooling us, right? The Holy Spirit Civilization is obviously a civilization that focuses on mechanical evolution. How could it be related to physical evolution?"

Mikhail said calmly: "We call it development potential because the gene evolution system is the mainstream. Before the gene evolution system appeared, do you think development potential did not exist?"

"It's just a different name. 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 is mainly based on mechanical evolution, but it does not mean that there are no other evolutionary systems."

"What is the assessment like?" Lancaster asked.

"It's simple. Fight," Mikhail explained. "You just need to defeat your opponent."

"Simple?" Lancaster was clearly unconvinced. "If it were simple, why haven't you made any progress yet?"

"The method is very simple, but I didn't say the enemy is simple. The enemy is a mechanical body. You need to fight one, two, and four enemies of the same level in sequence."

This type of assessment again?

Li Ming wondered in his heart, why do the Terrax people like this kind of trial so much?

"It doesn't seem that difficult..." Cedric was puzzled. Who among them hadn't had this experience?

"The enemy's level is high, stronger than you can imagine." Reynolds added faintly, "And, judging by your own evolutionary level, you will recover your normal strength after stepping onto the stage."

The arena could actually withstand X-level destructive power, and everyone was slightly shocked.

"Didn't Li Ming come in? Only X-level life forms have this qualification?" Costat spoke, paying close attention to Li Ming.

"Logically, there is no such saying..." Mikhail was also puzzled. Before he could finish his words, he heard a leisurely voice coming from behind, "I'm here, the last one."

Mikhail's face froze. Still behind me?
Reynolds was stunned. "You are still behind Mikhail? Both of us have undergone mechanical transformation. We only measured our mental potential. Our comprehensive potential is terribly low."

"You are actually lower than us?"

Klaue couldn't help but snort coldly. He was also behind Mikhail and was the second to last.

His development potential is indeed not high, and the reason why he can become an X-level life form is due to some special factors.

Costat suppressed the thought of looking back and felt very puzzled.

Lancaster, who was standing at the front, had a public potential of only level 50. Li Ming was clearly over level 60, so how could he be at the back?

"Is there something wrong with the detection mechanism? Or did your teacher use some tricks to trick you into fooling the detection mechanism?" Reynolds was extremely puzzled.

Mikhail frowned, "This shouldn't be the case. How could this happen? Even the forging hammer can't be hidden..."

Li Ming remained silent. His control column was now full of main combat systems, not evolutionary systems. The current development potential was less than level 25, so it was normal for it to be ranked last.

"Or rather, there is something wrong with his development potential itself." Gonzalez, who was in the middle, suddenly spoke up. "I was wondering how such a high development potential could be born without any noise. Going back more than ten generations, I can't find anyone with a development potential of more than ten levels."

"Even genetic mutations cannot produce such terrifying development potential. It is most likely Qinglong's experiment, and was forcibly pulled to an A-level life form through some method, just like meat injected with water."

"Really?" Dius frowned. She had seen it with her own eyes. It was the development potential detected by the Holy Elephant of Domination.

Mikhail subconsciously thought that if this was the case, then it would be reasonable for Qinglong to let Li Ming take the risk, and he himself was actually not as important as the outside world imagined.

But...is it that simple?

These guys don't have any knowledge about developing potential, so it's almost like they're just speculating.

Falsifying development potential is not a matter of a single sentence.

Costat was also suspicious about his speculation about Li Ming.

There are also many conspiracy theories in the outside world. It is precisely because his development potential is so abrupt and amazing that there are so many conspiracy theories.

Li Ming still remained silent, guessing whatever he wanted, his eyes fixed on the ring, thinking in his heart.

"Are you ready?"

A sudden voice came, and the giant's figure appeared again without warning, with a blank expression on his face. Although it was a question, he did not give them a chance to answer: "First one, go up."

Just as Lancaster was about to open his mouth, he felt his body flying up uncontrollably and landing on the ring.

The invisible suppression in the body was released, and the majestic breath of life was boiling, but he was still trapped near the ring.

Immediately afterwards, gray mist surged out from all directions, surrounding half of the arena.

Li Ming's eyes became more and more surprised. Could the enemy be...

The next moment, a familiar figure came into view. He was thin and tall, with gray skin. It was the Yuan clan.

It really is them! Li Ming was a little speechless. He was so familiar with these guys that he could almost memorize their moves.

It's a bit too much to say that he knows what move the other person is going to make as soon as he raises his hand.

But the gap is not that big. If he is abused a few thousand more times, he will probably reach that level.

For others, the feeling was completely different. Kostat's face was tense and his expression was tense. "It's the Shadow of the Eternal Abyss..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt the giant's gaze on him. Costat's heart trembled and he quickly shut his mouth.

The three major civilizations were indeed familiar with the Yuan clan. After hearing half of the sentence, Li Ming confirmed a guess in his mind.
