Eternal Core City,
Combat Power Test Area.
Ye Bai walked into the hall and looked around. The usually crowded hall seemed particularly empty.
"Well, with the BUFF, everyone is busy climbing the Eternal Tower. Combat power tests can be done anytime."
Ye Bai noticed that even the staff were no exception.
Many service windows displayed red lights, indicating [Service Paused].
The staff had all taken leave to head to the Eternal Tower, trying to advance further.
"Please sign in at the self-service machine and take a number to queue."
Following the prompt, Ye Bai found a machine.
The information required was simple: [Level, Class, Eternal Tower Floor], etc.
Even combined, this information couldn't pinpoint Ye Bai himself.
Obviously, to hide Asura's identity, the Defense Command had made comprehensive arrangements.
Moreover, this was the Eternal Core City, and with the Eternal ID hidden, there was no way to trace it back to Ye Bai!
"Have you ever participated in a combat power test?"
"No."
"Your test will start from [Warrior Tier 1], serial number 319, please queue at window 3."
A piece of white paper with the serial number printed on it was ejected from the machine, which Ye Bai took.
"Window 3... huh, why are there so many people?"
In the entire hall, only 2-3 windows were still operating, so everyone participating in the combat power test naturally gathered together.
Ye Bai didn't expect that there were actually dozens of people in front of him, forming a small line.
Judging by the situation, even if each person took 5 minutes, it would still take several hours!
Ye Bai frowned slightly,
"Strange, why aren't they going to the Eternal Tower to level up, but coming here for a combat power test?"

Among these dozens of people, Ye Bai also spotted an acquaintance—Jiang Yun!
Above Jiang Yun's head floated a note:
[Unlucky guy drowned by a lava eruption, as for who the culprit is, ahem...]
Oh, come on...
Ye Bai couldn't hold back.
Being drowned by lava was just too frustrating.
As Ye Bai spotted Jiang Yun, the latter also noticed him.
"Ye Bai, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yun looked over, slightly puzzled, and said, "Did you also go to Wind Thunder Valley?"
"Uh... sort of, I went to Wind Thunder Valley."
Ye Bai replied sincerely.
Jiang Yun obviously misunderstood, thinking Ye Bai was also killed by lava or monsters, and sighed.
"Sigh, bad luck, if only I had died a bit later, there wouldn't be a weakness period!"
The rules of the Eternal Tower were very strict.
After Asura's SSSS rank clearance, the entire Eternal Tower granted the human race various powerful BUFFs.
But before that, players who died were still subjected to the weakness penalty!
"I see..."
Ye Bai nodded, understanding why Jiang Yun and others were here.
After dying in Wind Thunder Valley, they were stuck in a long weakness period.
Originally, Jiang Yun and others were wandering around the trading area, hoping to find some bargains.
Who knew that after the BUFFs stacked, everyone ran off!
Leaving these few unlucky ones idle in Eternal Core City.
Eventually, someone suggested they might as well come to the [Combat Power Test Area] and participate in the Warrior Test.
They were just here to see the world, not expecting to actually pass the Warrior Test!
The difficulty of the Warrior Test was so high that many seniors at level 30 couldn't pass it; higher levels were needed to become a Tier 1 Warrior.
Even geniuses with A Rank or S Rank talents generally needed to be level 20 to pass.
"If anyone can pass the Warrior Test now, they would be on par with Asura!"
The group chatted while queuing.
Jiang Yun just greeted Ye Bai and didn't continue the conversation.
Ye Bai waited for a few minutes, noticing the line hadn't moved at all, and said, "I'll go check the front."
He had a VIP card from the Pavilion of All Things, with Battle General level privileges, which, if usable, could save him a lot of queuing time.
Jiang Yun glanced at Ye Bai's back without saying much.
Today, Liu Xueqi seemed to have some involvement with this guy, but Jiang Yun wasn't worried at all.
He didn't think Ye Bai posed any threat to him; after all, he had an A Rank Talent!
A rogue named [Heaven's Eye] suddenly asked,
"Jiang Yun, what class is your classmate?"
"Ye Bai? I'm not sure."
Jiang Yun said casually, "I wasn't familiar with him before."
In the class, probably only Zhao Lin had a good relationship with Ye Bai.
"I'll check the database, Nanjing Third High, Ye Bai... Mage. Heaven's Eye, why are you interested?"
The few geniuses were curious; Heaven's Eye's talent was in identification, maybe he could see something extraordinary about Ye Bai.
"A Mage, huh... not a Warrior."
Heaven's Eye muttered, "Nothing, must have been mistaken, I thought he was..."
Previously, Heaven's Eye had used his talent to probe deep into Wind Thunder Valley.
In a fleeting glance, he saw a Warrior solo awakening a BOSS, attempting to solo the BOSS.
That glance cost Heaven's Eye his life.
But it was too rushed at the time, and Heaven's Eye's attention was all on the Bull Demon Battle General, so he didn't pay attention to the Warrior.
The appearance of the other person was somewhat blurry.
When Heaven's Eye saw Ye Bai, he felt a bit of resemblance, comforting himself, "Maybe handsome people all look similar."
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Bai walked straight to the front work robot, showed a card, and was directly allowed through!
"Why can he skip the line?"
"Don't know, skipping the line privilege, at least requires Battle General level treatment, right?"
"I think I saw him take out a card, was it a VIP card from the Pavilion of All Things?!"
"....."
A few words from the crowd made Jiang Yun's face turn a bit gloomy.
A VIP card from the Pavilion of All Things, Battle General level privileges.
With Ye Bai's strength and background, how could he possibly have something like that!
"It must have been given to him by Liu Xueqi! Damn it!"
Jiang Yun said disdainfully,
"No matter, let him go in for the test first.
The Tier 1 Warrior Test, I bet Ye Bai can't last even 10 seconds!"
The people around nodded frequently; Jiang Yun's words were harsh, but they made sense.
A Mage, with average talent, lasting 10 seconds was as difficult as reaching the sky!
...
Inside the Combat Power Test Room,
Ye Bai was warming up.
"Didn't expect the VIP card from the Pavilion of All Things to actually work."
Several red lights flashed, and an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in the sealed space.
"Tier 1 Warrior Test, First Stage [Neural Response Test], are you ready?"
"Ready."
"Countdown, 5, 4, 3..."
Bang—
As the countdown ended, a gunshot sounded, and a bullet shot towards Ye Bai at an extremely fast speed!
