Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 85 Testing the Stone Wall, Special Evaluation

Qiulong Star, inside Chen Yue’s castle.

At Chen Yue's suggestion, he and Luo Feng's residence adopted a modern Chinese style, with simple and smooth lines, exuding a fresh atmosphere.

In sharp contrast to this is Hong’s residence, which inherits the charm of classical Chinese style, with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, demonstrating the weight of history.

The residence of Thor is completely different, full of exotic Indian style, colorful and mysterious.

Chen Yue was lying comfortably in his residence, with two maids, Isa and Ina, serving him gently and attentively.

Of course, it’s just formal service.

There is a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the room.

"You guys go down and rest." Chen Yue told the two women to go back and rest, and he entered the virtual universe.

--------

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

In the vast territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, once someone connects to the virtual universe network, they will appear directly on the Black Dragon Mountain Island.

This so-called "island" actually has an area beyond imagination and is larger than any planet in the real world.

This is not surprising. After all, it serves more than 8,000 star systems in the Black Dragon Mountain star field and has countless users.

In this virtual universe, a blue shadow suddenly appeared on Chen Yue's shoulder. It was the image of the smart device in his wrist space. Chen Yue gave the shadow an order: "Xiao Qing, guide me to the Qianwu Dojo."

Although "Xiaoqing" is just a nickname given by Chen Yue to the intelligence and it does not possess the characteristics of true intelligent life, its reaction is extremely sensitive.

"Okay, master." Xiaoqing's voice was concise and clear, responding to Chen Yue's instructions.

The surrounding streets are bustling with people, and some people even regard this fictional world as an extension of reality.

Not long after, Chen Yue arrived in front of a majestic city and stood in front of a huge city gate.

His eyes swept across the door lintel and his heart moved. This place was strikingly similar to the Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star, but the venue in the virtual universe seemed more vast and more solemn.

Passing through the huge city gate, Chen Yue quickly headed towards the teaching building.

His footsteps made a crisp "click" sound on the bluestone road, which contrasted sharply with the hustle and bustle around him.

"drop……"

Arriving at the door of the teaching building, Chen Yue quickly entered his identity information, and the text on the interface flashed:
[Ordinary student: Chen Yue]

[Planetary Level 8 Warrior]

【Remaining study time: 20 years】

[Entry is allowed]

This was his first time to report after paying tuition for 20 years. Chen Yue stepped into the teaching building.

Indoors, there is a huge information display screen in the lobby on the first floor, flashing the class schedule for the next few days.

Chen Yue glanced at the densely packed and countless course list, and couldn't help but shook his head, with a silent bitter smile in his heart.

Just when he was feeling confused, a young man with skin as green as pine needles walked over.

He noticed Chen Yue's confused look at the display screen, so he took the initiative to talk to him: "Classmate, are you new here?" the green-skinned young man asked in a friendly manner.

Chen Yue nodded and responded briefly: "Yeah," without further explanation.

His eyes were still lingering in front of the huge information display screen, looking for a course that suits him.

Yuriko smiled warmly and extended a friendly greeting: "My name is Yuriko. You seem to be an ordinary student, right? I am also an ordinary student of Qianwu Dojo. What's your name?" There was a hint of warmth and enthusiasm in his voice.

"Hello, I'm Chen Yue." Chen Yue responded politely. "Chen Yue, nice to meet you. Are you choosing courses?" Yuriko asked curiously.

"Yes, but..." Chen Yue's gaze fell on the dizzyingly complicated schedule again, revealing a helpless expression.

Yuriko smiled lightly, as if he had seen through Chen Yue's troubles.

He pointed to a stone pillar nearby and explained, "That's the test stone wall. As long as you put your hand in it, it will detect your potential and plan a suitable course for you."

"So magical?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yue's eyes.

He thought that this should be introduced in the student manual, but he had been busy building the castle and had not read it carefully.

"Then I'll give it a try." Chen Yue said with an excited smile.

"Good luck to you. If your potential is high enough, perhaps Qianwu Dojo will pay special attention to you." Yuriko encouraged.

"Potential?" Chen Yue muttered to himself, guessing that this was probably a way to test talent.

Without hesitation, he strode towards the test stone wall.

There is a blank area on the stone wall. Upon closer inspection, there seems to be an enclosed space inside, filled with golden liquid that sparkles.

"Just put both hands in," Yuriko reminded, with a hint of light-hearted encouragement in his voice.

In this spacious space, warriors from different planets came and went. Their palms were of different sizes, and some were even incredibly large.

In order to accommodate such diversity, the space for testing the stone wall is designed to be relatively large.

Chen Yue placed his relatively small hand into the space and immediately felt a current of heat rapidly spreading throughout his body, accompanied by a strange sense of comfort.

Soon, the stone wall began to tremble slightly, as if it was conducting some kind of precise detection.

Then, words appeared on the stone wall, shining with a pale golden light:

【Ordinary student Chen Yue】

【Evaluation: Special】

Chen Yue was slightly stunned. Such an evaluation was concise and direct.

Yuriko was stunned on the side, his voice full of shock and admiration, "Oh my God, Chen Yue, you actually got a special evaluation!"

Chen Yue was a little confused and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is it rare to get a special evaluation?"

Yuriko swallowed and spoke slowly, "Of course. I joined the Qianwu Gym right after I was promoted to the planetary level. I have been here for several years. Before you, as far as I know, there were only three people who reached the special evaluation."

"What does the special evaluation mean?" Chen Yue asked humbly.

Yuriko explained: "This evaluation is based on your current strength. Our Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Qianwu Dojo accepts people from within the empire. The evaluation criteria for testing the stone wall are also set based on the level of the top talents among the major forces in our Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

"The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has two holy places, four major organizations and sixteen major families. The talent you are showing now is comparable to the geniuses among these top forces." Yuriko continued.

"Of course, this evaluation is not fixed. It reflects the relative performance of your current strength," Yuriko added.

"For example, when I first joined the Qianwu Dojo, I was still at Planetary Level 1, and I received an excellent evaluation at that time. When I was promoted to Planetary Level 3, the evaluation was raised to High. Now I am at Planetary Level 5, but the evaluation has been reduced to Average." Yuriko said with a bitter smile on his face.

"So that's how it is." Chen Yue suddenly realized.

Yuriko's voice was a little excited: "Student Chen Yue, strive to break through to the star level as soon as possible. If you can continue to maintain the special evaluation by then, you can join the sixteen major families of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, or even the two holy places and the four major organizations."

Two holy places, four major organizations, and sixteen major families?

Chen Yue couldn't help but smile faintly when he heard this.
