"Neural Reaction Test, begin!"

As the countdown ended, a gunshot rang out.

A 6mm diameter bullet whistled through the air at an incredible speed. Ye Bai slightly shifted his body, easily dodging it.

Bang—

The bullet hit the wall, leaving a small dent and sparking.

"As expected, it's a live ammunition test!"

Ye Bai focused his mind, looking ahead.

Since this was in the Eternal Core City, part of the Eternal Tower, death wouldn't have any real consequences.

The Warrior Test was as realistic as it could get.

Bullets, fireballs, lightning, throwing knives...

In this neural reaction test, one needed to dodge these attacks as much as possible. As long as you survived, you passed!

In other words, there were two ways to break through:

1. Increase your agility attribute as much as possible, learn more movement skills, and gain greater mobility.

This was the original intention of the neural reaction test.

2. Increase your shield, health points, and other defenses as much as possible!

If you can't dodge, then don't. Take all the damage head-on and break through with force!

As long as you survive, you pass.

The Warrior Test aimed to select warriors who could fight on the Abyssal Plane, not those who were absolutely versatile!

Based on past experience, having an agility attribute of 200 or a total damage tolerance exceeding 4000 would allow you to pass the first stage.

Many people were stuck at this stage, complaining endlessly.

However,

For Ye Bai, these posed no difficulty at all!

The Eye of Insight could predict the trajectory of all upcoming attacks, providing a brief foresight.

It also planned the best evasion strategy for Ye Bai!

All Ye Bai needed to do was choose a plan and execute it.

Step by step, he easily dodged all the attacks!

Amidst the hail of bullets, Ye Bai strolled leisurely, as if taking a walk in his backyard.

Stolen novel; please report.

Bullets often missed him by just 0.1CM, yet he remained calm and unflustered.

In fact, to not appear too outstanding, Ye Bai would deliberately take one or two hits, pretending he couldn't dodge in time.

A true acting master.

10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds...

Time passed second by second, the frequency of attacks increased, leaving Ye Bai with fewer options, and making perfect evasion increasingly difficult!

Ye Bai's health points remained at a very healthy level, but the intense firepower was somewhat exaggerated.

"Strange, is the first-tier Warrior Test supposed to be this hard?!"

Ye Bai complained while dodging.

"My agility attribute is 224. Even without the Eye of Insight, I should be able to pass this stage with agility alone!

But... this difficulty is too exaggerated. Even with agility at 300 or 400, it would be unbearable!"

Ye Bai felt as if he were in a sea of fire, where a slight mistake could lead to instant death and failure.

He gritted his teeth, following the Eye of Insight's instructions, trying his best to complete each movement and dodge the incoming attacks.

"Countdown!"

"10, 9, 8...."

Sweat beaded on Ye Bai's forehead, and his left shoulder was grazed by a fireball, emitting a burnt smell.

Just the grazing fireball caused over 300 damage to Ye Bai.

"Something definitely went wrong. This isn't a first-tier Warrior Test!"

Ye Bai was certain, but at this point, trapped in the test chamber, he could only grit his teeth and persist, waiting for the countdown to end.

"...3, 2, 1!"

"Congratulations, you have completed the first-tier Warrior Neural Reaction Test. Please proceed to the next stage."

All attacks ceased, and Ye Bai stood in the corner, taking deep breaths of fresh air to recover his strength.

He looked at the motion capture device ahead, concentrating.

[It's just a motion capture device. What do you expect to see, a pen for you to write?]

[No matter how you look, it's just a motion capture device.]

[Congratulations on just passing the third-tier Warrior Neural Reaction Test!]

"It was actually third-tier... what a scam."

Ye Bai rolled his eyes, feeling speechless.

He didn't know which part went wrong, but what should have been a first-tier Warrior Test was somehow switched to third-tier.

"In other words, my current strength is comparable to the neural reaction speed of a third-tier warrior!"

From another perspective, Ye Bai's understanding of his own strength became clearer.

"Let's go, next stage!"

Stamina test, damage test, defense test...

To Ye Bai's surprise, the subsequent test stages went smoothly, without any unexpected issues.

The first-tier Warrior Test posed no difficulty for Ye Bai.

In fact, to not appear too outstanding, he held back to varying degrees.

"First-tier Warrior Test completed, generating results...."

On a large screen, numerous data scrolled, generating a test report for Ye Bai.

"Neural Reaction Test, 98% evasion rate, SS rating!"

"Stamina Test, 86% completion, A rating!"

"....."

"Considering all results, your first-tier Warrior Test rating is: A+!"

"Congratulations, you have passed the first-tier Warrior Test. Please choose your affiliation."

Three options appeared before Ye Bai:

[Defense Command Legion], [Mercenary Corps], [Lone Wolf]

Warriors, as the name suggests, are soldiers existing for battle.

After passing the Warrior Test, Ye Bai could choose to apply to join any of the major legions under the Planetary Defense Council.

Once the application was approved, Ye Bai would be required to go to a designated plane and integrate into the legion.

This was the most common choice.

Officially backed legions were top-notch in both strength and benefits.

Of course, the cost was low freedom, requiring obedience to superiors with little room for independent action.

This path was clearly not suitable for Ye Bai at the moment.

He had too many secrets and needed time to grow, so joining a legion was not an option for now.

The [Mercenary Corps] was a loose organization with mercenary characteristics, operating on a clear price basis.

They would form temporary teams, accept orders from various forces, complete tasks, and then receive rewards.

Based on the information at hand, Ye Bai analyzed,

"The Mercenary Corps sounds good and suits me, but... the Mercenary Corps requires real-name registration!

My school records show a C Rank Talent, and I've only been playing the Eternal Tower for 2 days, yet I've passed the first-tier Warrior Test. It's too conspicuous!"

Ye Bai's gaze turned to the last option:

Lone Wolf!

He could anonymously receive the Warrior badge, with monthly stipends and benefits collected in the Eternal Core City, ensuring the [Lone Wolf] identity wouldn't be traced!

Of course, the officials had special methods to prevent people from repeatedly claiming stipends and exploiting loopholes.

This path was the loneliest and most unsupported.

No organization, no teammates, no backing.

The Lone Wolf path meant everything relied on oneself!

Ye Bai took a deep breath, his gaze firm, and pointed his finger down.

"I choose Lone Wolf!"

The Lone Wolf path was meant for the fierce and the bold!

Cattle and sheep flock together, but beasts walk alone!

When the Warrior paths were established, a Supreme Being once said:

"Every genius is a Lone Wolf on their path forward!"

After making his choice, the large screen went dark.

A medal descended from above, hovering in front of Ye Bai.

It was engraved with a roaring wolf's head, lifelike, with sharp fangs glinting coldly, particularly intimidating.

The Lone Wolf Medal!

"Nice, I like it."

Ye Bai grabbed the Lone Wolf Medal in his palm.

From today,

The rise of Lone Wolf Warrior Ye Bai officially begins!
