This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 86: Second Kill! Incredible gap, the benefits of being first!
They all had different expressions as they looked at Li Ming closely, all with curiosity and inquiry, while the freshmen gathered around were talking about him.

"Hey, there's something interesting to watch. They are all young masters from southern Beijing. They must be unhappy to be stepped on by such an outsider."

"Do you think they are all as stupid as you? Professor Wu clearly wants to accept him as a student, and they have no hatred before. Why does he have to target this guy? Maybe they can be friends in the future."

"..."

The other professors present all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Professor Wu did not take first place directly.

Rosser's facial features were sharp and his expression was calm: "Professor Wu, I have no intention of offending you, and classmate Li Ming, I have no intention of targeting you."

"It's just that the first place was taken away so inexplicably, and we are always unwilling to accept it."

Qi Xing added: "It's not fair to challenge him one by one, so let the strongest among us, um...almost the strongest, take action."

"It's okay. It should be so." Li Ming nodded, without any other feeling.

He spoke only to cooperate with Professor Wu, and the other party was only fighting for his own interests.

Both parties were very polite.

Professor Wu looked indifferent, which was within his expectations.

Dean Chen smiled slightly, "I haven't encountered such an interesting assessment situation in a long time. Logically speaking, Rosser's development progress is far ahead of Li Ming. This is an unfair battle."

"However, since we have to fight for first place, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Dear students, do you have any other opinions?"

Dean Chen's voice covered the entire area. The noisy sounds instantly quieted down and no one spoke for a long time.

Maybe most students don’t have very well-informed channels of information, but they also understand that this is a competition that has basically nothing to do with them, and they just need to watch the fun.

"In this case, the regular assessment process will be suspended, and the actual combat challenge between the two persons will be carried out first. I think this is what everyone should be concerned about now." Dean Chen smiled and looked around.

No matter they were freshmen in the area or outside the area, the media reporters and seniors who were watching the fun all stretched their necks at this moment.

“This class is really fierce…”

"Someone has already started a live broadcast on Starnet. I have to get those kids in the dormitory to come over and watch the show."

"..."

Dean Chen asked the nearby city guards to clear a large area, then waved his hand, and the suspended platform in the air fell down, the mechanical structure unfolded in mid-air, and the metal plates were quickly spliced ​​together.

Boom - when it landed on the ground, it had turned into a big arena, stirring up gusts of wind.

The four-legged pillars of the arena flickered with light, then shot up into the sky, quickly outlining a huge projected sky curtain.

Professor Bai added at this moment: "Wu Yanqing, don't take advantage of the situation. It doesn't mean that if Li Ming loses, he will become the second, and it doesn't mean that if Rosser wins, he will be the first."

It was obvious that Li Ming had no chance of defeating Rosser, but he also couldn't let Wu get second place for nothing.

"Of course..." Dean Chen nodded: "Even if Rosser wins, we must continue the assessment as normal."

"If Li Ming wins..." He paused. Although he felt that it was unlikely, he still said, "If no one challenges him, he will be number one."

"A temporary victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. You all know that it's only a matter of time before Li Ming catches up with Rosser." Professor Wu glanced at a few people and said, "It's better to give him the precious customized gene seed."

"Nonsense." Professor Bai sneered: "Development potential is just a data evaluation. There are many factors that affect how far it can evolve."

"Even if you're not number one, it should be no problem for you to get into the special training class," Professor Wu said casually.

Professor Bai frowned and immediately understood that this was Professor Wu's purpose.

"With the potential for development at level eight, even if the rank is not high, it will be no problem to be specially recruited in." Dean Chen added at this moment.

Professor Bai seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He glanced at Li Ming on the stage, but ultimately said nothing.

When several professors were on the verge of a fight, Li Ming and Rosser had already stepped onto the stage. They had changed into looser training clothes.

They are not wearing combat uniforms and are not allowed to use other weapons and equipment. After all, it is not a life-and-death fight, but just a test of actual combat skills.

"This is an unfair battle, Li Ming. I believe that with the same development progress, you are no worse than me." Rosser looked stern, without any expression: "After today's defeat, if you are dissatisfied, you can come to me at any time."

"This is indeed an unfair battle." Li Ming agreed deeply.

"This guy is quite smart. I noticed it just now. From the moment Rosser showed up until now, he didn't show any expression of displeasure." Qi Xing said nonchalantly: "Zhao Jingang, guess how long it will take to end the battle?"

"Rosser's gene seed development progress exceeds 90%, and his core ability [Absolute Shadow Aurora] has also been practiced to perfection. If there is no room for improvement, it will take less than a second." Zhao Jingang speculated:
"However, if we take Professor Wu's face into consideration, it should be delayed for a few seconds."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of light seemed to flash in his eyes. With a crackling sound, Li Ming on the ring swelled up as if he was blown up. His clothes were stretched tight, his muscles became distorted, and veins bulged.

"Hmm? Violent Bear?" Qi Xing's nonchalant expression turned serious, and he frowned and said, "This combat skill can only be learned by Purple Lightning Bear when its development progress exceeds 60%. It greatly enhances physical strength through bioelectric stimulation."

"According to the internal data of the City Guard, the last recorded development progress was only 22%."

"In just over a month, the development progress has exceeded 60%. Is the eighth-level development potential really that terrifying?"

The other people around him also stopped looking down on him. Although they didn't say it, they subconsciously felt that there was a certain gap between Li Ming and them.

But they didn't expect that the gap between them was already visible to the naked eye. It could even be said that if they had more practical experience, they would be able to make up for this gap in a real life-and-death fight.

Rosser's expression was slightly tense, and he sensed a dangerous aura from Li Ming.

Qi Xing's information is wrong, but this is also a good thing, as it allows me to be more flexible.

Rosser took a deep breath, and then his eyes suddenly burst into golden light, and the skin around his eye sockets appeared with golden lines, and his life breath rose accordingly.

【Jueying Aurora】, the core ability of his gene seed, can not only greatly enhance the strength of the body, but also attach unconventional elemental power, with considerable lethality.

Neither of them disturbed the other's transformation. After all, it was not a life-and-death fight, and there were so many people watching.

"Are you ready?" Rosser kindly asked before the fight started.

At the moment Li Ming nodded, a cloud of mist exploded around Rosser, and golden light was like a shadow, leaving tassels in the air. It moved so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, and quickly approached Li Ming.

Everyone around held their breath, ready to witness this special battle.

Li Ming could barely see Rosser's figure. All his strength burst out, he clenched his palm into a fist, and punched Rosser who was attacking him without reservation.

Rosser felt relieved. Li Ming's attack was disorganized. After all, he came from a poor family and no one taught him moves. The city guards' combat skills were not up to par.

He simply raised his arms, and golden light surged, attaching to the surface of his skin, forming an armor-like mimicry, ready to fight head-on.

"This attack should be... huh!?"

The moment the fists and arms connected, Rosser's face changed drastically, and the golden armor attached to his arm shattered in an instant. Then, an unparalleled force fell on his arm.

Crack! Bones and tendons were broken, but the fist as strong as iron and lead continued to move forward, wrapping around Rosser's already limp arm and smashing further into his chest.

boom!
He flew backwards and hit the metal railing at the edge of the ring with a dull thud.

Rosser's eyes were dazed and he felt severe pain all over his body. He raised his head and looked at the huge projection screen in the sky, and happened to look himself in the eyes.

An indescribable sense of absurdity arose spontaneously - I was killed instantly?
Below the ring, Qi Xing was speechless, staring at Rosser lying on the ground in amazement.

Zhao Jingang looked solemn.

Even though he had just seen the golden beam of light falling from the sky, he was not that surprised. He knew very well how powerful Rosser was.

Although he and others seemed nonchalant on the surface, they had actually tried their best to catch up, but were still a little bit behind.

Nuo Xing stared blankly. There was silence all around. In the square with tens of thousands of people, one could hear a pin drop. Then there was an uproar.

"That...that..."

"How is it possible? Rosser was killed in an instant, without even taking a single blow?"

"How can the gap be so big?"

A considerable number of freshmen came from other planets and were unfamiliar with Rosser before, but in the past one or two months, they have paid close attention to the entrance examinations for the new semester and naturally understand the value of the recognized first place.

But, he was killed instantly?
For those students who were originally from the capital planet, this shock was no less than a bolt from the blue, and even led to an incredible speculation -
"Isn't it possible that Rosser has reached some kind of agreement with Professor Wu to use himself to fulfill Li Ming's wish?"

"You wouldn't come to such a conclusion even if you used your ass to think, you idiot!"

Professor Bai was even more astonished. In his mind, he didn't even have the thought that Rosser had failed, let alone being killed instantly so cleanly and neatly.

The gap between the two is indeed huge, but the result is completely the opposite.

Professor Wu's expression changed, and he finally laughed out loud: "Okay, okay!"

Dean Chen frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said with a faint smile: "If Professor Wu doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he does, it's beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Li Ming walked towards Rosser, his body shrinking synchronously, with the regular blessing of [Violent Bear] + [Charged Attack] + [Armored Four Arms].

This attack, with a five-fold explosion, directly stunned Rosser.

Rosser's combat status should also have reached the D-level, but the increase is not as terrifying as Li Ming's.

"Sorry, I couldn't catch it." Li Ming stretched out his hand. Rosser was defeated. It was impossible to counterattack in this kind of battle. Everyone could see it clearly.

Rosser's face changed. He put his hands together and stood up with the help of Li Ming. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with his right arm drooping, he shook his head and said, "I underestimated you."

He rolled off the ring and the crowd made way for him.

Li Ming stood on the stage, looked around, and asked calmly: "Is there anyone who still refuses to accept it?"

"Ha..." Qi Xing laughed, shook his head, and responded: "Brother, it's already like this, who dares to disobey? You can take the first place."

There was a burst of laughter all around. Most people had no opinion and were just happy to watch the fun.

"Since no one has any objection, the first place in this session is Li Ming." Dean Chen landed on the stage and announced.

"Okay, the excitement is over, and it's time to continue the assessment. Although we've lost the first place, there's still room for second place." Dean Chen raised his hand to signal, and the arena under his feet was folded up, carrying many professors including Li Ming, and ascended to the high platform.

"Don't be nervous. We will examine your development potential in more detail."

Dean Chen said warmly, but Li Ming hesitated.

In order to launch a burst attack just now, I have already changed the items under my control. If I test the development potential now, it will definitely not be as good as before.

"There's no need for that." Old Wu spoke and refused directly.

Professor Bai and others looked at Wu Yanqing and were suddenly shocked. They suddenly realized that this large-scale biological detector could only detect up to level eight due to errors.

But this is not necessarily Li Ming’s limit, it may even be higher, but... is this possible?
Without giving the dean a chance to speak, Professor Wu immediately continued, "Remember to give each of you one tube of EF-level gene refining potion, ten tubes of corresponding-level development potions per month, thirty tubes of corresponding-level nutrient solution, one set of combat armor, and one customized weapon."

"Remember to transfer the one million scholarship to his account."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. There are these benefits? I don't think I paid much attention to it before.

It seems that there will be no shortage of developed medicines, nutrient solutions and the like in the future.

But what is that gene refining potion? How come I have never heard of it?

Every time he said something, the other professors' eyelids twitched.

"And the customized gene seed. His F-level gene seed is the Thunder Leopard, and his E-level gene seed is the Purple Lightning Bear. Report the information." Professor Wu quickly finalized everything.

Dean Chen looked at Li Ming thoughtfully, "Everything is there, so don't worry."

"He is enrolled through a special channel and needs to choose a minor. Has he decided what it is?"

"Dean, I want to choose advanced mechanical manufacturing and assembly." Li Ming already had this idea.

"Mechanical manufacturing?" His answer surprised all the professors, but Professor Wu didn't care too much.

"Are you sure that this subject is time-consuming and laborious, and will most likely be a waste of time in the end?" Dean Chen asked.

"Ah."

Seeing that Li Ming was not acting on a whim, Dean Chen did not say anything else.

Professor Wu seemed impatient. "Have you finished asking questions? Let's go back to the lab first. We have something else to do."

"Professor Wu, the assessment is not over yet." Dean Chen shook his head.

"The first place has been decided, what's the point of staying?"

Dean Chen emphasized again, with no sign of joy or anger: "Professor Wu, since you are here, please finish the reading before leaving."

No wonder Old Wu is unwelcome. He left halfway through the show, clearly showing his disrespect for others.

It’s not that Old Wu is unaware of this, he’s just too lazy to care.

"Teacher, wait until it's over, it won't take too long." Li Ming advised. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This school also has many factions. Old Wu is the big boss, but he is not.

The other professors looked at him in surprise. Old Wu frowned slightly and said impatiently, "Then finish reading it."

Their eyes looked even weirder.

They had seen how Professor Wu behaved in front of other students, but in front of him, they dared not even breathe.

This kid can actually be persuaded, could he be Wu Yanqing’s illegitimate son?
