In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

"Gene modification surgery?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

The Star Alliance's genetic technology is highly advanced, and it can surgically unlock human potential, thereby causing martial artists to experience a surge in strength and possess combat power far exceeding their own limits.

For example, a third-tier martial artist whose qi and blood are depleted will never be able to break through again in this lifetime without a great opportunity.

However, he can use gene modification surgery to squeeze out the last bit of his potential and become a fourth-level martial artist!
Moreover, calculations by the Star Alliance's intelligent optical brain revealed...

Gene modification surgery is most effective when performed in middle age.

Because he had only recently entered the world of martial arts in his youth and was too weak, he could very well die on the operating table if he rashly underwent gene modification surgery.

In old age, when one's vital energy and blood are depleted and lifespan is nearing its end, even surgery is unlikely to provide significant improvement.

On the other hand, middle-aged martial artists are at the peak of their vitality and strength. If they undergo gene modification surgery at this time, they might be able to advance two major realms!

Many middle-aged martial artists with mediocre qualifications who could only receive average ratings during their enlistment assessments ended up becoming the backbone of elite units precisely because they underwent gene modification surgery.

of course.

Gene modification surgery carries significant risks.

Moreover, they will be stripped of most of their emotions and reduced to a cold and ruthless killing machine.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, very few people would choose this path.

However, after learning this information...

All the middle-aged martial artists felt reassured, and their mood gradually calmed down.

After all, although they are a bit older, unless someone has such good talent that they can bridge the gap between realms, in the end, it still comes down to strength.

Moreover, only those who have grown up and become geniuses are qualified to be called geniuses.

Even if some young people are talented, their cultivation level is too low, so how long can they survive on the star battlefield?

Figure this out.

Everyone stopped complaining and continued with the strength test.

"Next up, Feng Yuan."

Upon hearing his new name after changing his identity, Lu Yuan quickly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of a punching power test stand.

Followed by.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and clenched his fist, his body arched like a bow, and his fist shot out like a cannonball, landing one after another on the surface of the fist-shaped target.

"7.3 kg!"

"7.7 kg!"

"7.9 kg!"

……

Upon seeing this series of numbers, many people rubbed their eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.

Perhaps this power is nothing to many second-tier perfect martial artists.

However, the strength that Lu Yuan has shown so far is only at the first-level martial artist realm.

A first-tier martial artist possesses a strength of nearly 80,000 kilograms.

What kind of heaven-defying combat power is this?
And to everyone's disbelief, this number continued to soar wildly.

"8.5 kg!"

"9.3 kg!"

"Drip drip!"

With a sharp, piercing alarm sounding, the number finally reached a staggering 10 kg!

Followed by.

The evaluation of this strength test was also displayed on the electronic screen.

Seventeen years old, a first-level martial artist, with the strength of 100,000 kilograms...

Perfect level?!

What is this ghost?

Upon seeing these three large characters, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

Isn't the evaluation system supposed to only have four levels: unsatisfactory, average, excellent, and outstanding?

Where did this perfect rating come from?

"Perfect-level strength rating?"

As for the veteran of the Star Guard, although he was somewhat moved, he was not as shocked as the others.

After all, the Star Guardian Reserve consists of tens of millions of people from hundreds of inhabited planets.

Given the massive population, it's quite normal for someone to occasionally achieve a perfect score in a test.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"A perfect rating means that one has an exceptionally outstanding talent in a certain area, reaching the pinnacle."

"A perfect rating in a single item is quite good, but some monsters in the elite units can also achieve that."

The veteran of the Starbound Army explained simply.

"Perfect in one category? Does that mean someone can get a perfect rating in all categories?"

Some people's hearts stirred slightly, and they immediately guessed.

"impossible."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the veteran of the Starbound Army.

"There are hundreds of different items in the enlistment assessment, and no one can be proficient in everything, not even cultivators!"

The veteran of the Starbound Army said resolutely.

The universe is teeming with countless races.

Some are physically strong, some have abundant spiritual power, and some are full of energy, but no race is perfect.

Looking across the entire universe, perhaps only the legendary gods could accomplish this.

Gods are called gods because they can easily do things that mortals cannot imagine!

"So, the perfect rating is based on the standards of the Celestial Race?"

Lu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of understanding.

One hundred thousand kilograms of force may not sound like much.

However, if combat skills and special abilities are used, it is enough to unleash ten or even dozens of times the power on this basis.

And this is only the first level!

Therefore.

That's why it's called the perfect level, meaning it has reached the power limit of the first tier.

After Lu Yuan's strength test results came out.

The way everyone around him looked at him changed, even the veteran of the Starbound Army treated him much better.

After all, Lu Yuan was able to get a perfect rating in the strength test, and after the assessment, he could at least enter the elite troops.

If he performs even better in the subsequent tests, he could very well make it into the elite team!

Having served in the Star Force for so many years, that veteran understood better than any of the new recruits what the word "ace" truly meant!
The next test.

Lu Yuan didn't want to be too flashy; instead, he planned to keep a low profile.

After all, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

It's understandable that he received a perfect rating.

But if every project is perfect, then not only the high command of the Star Army, but also the Celestials who control the Star Alliance will be alarmed!

So as long as he can get into the elite unit, there's no need for him to be too high-profile.

three days later.

The enlistment assessment has concluded, and the final results have been released.

All scores are ranked and published on the Star Guardian website, where everyone can check them.

"I'm only ranked 307th? Looks like there are some monsters among this batch of recruits."

Lu Yuan asked with slight surprise. This time, he had received one perfect rating, more than a dozen excellent ratings, and dozens of outstanding ratings in over a hundred test projects.

The overall rating is Excellent.

Even so, they could only rank outside the top 300.

This shows just how formidable the overall quality of these new recruits is.

"A total of 637 people received an excellent rating?"

Lu Yuan opened the ranking list and immediately saw more detailed data and information.

Even after clicking on a person's name, you can see the original video recording of that person during the assessment test.

Lu Yuan glanced through it.

Those who achieve an excellent rating all possess exceptional talent in a particular area.

Some people are burly, with muscles all over their bodies resembling a high, protruding rock, making them visually striking.

Some people have eyes that pierce the light and a powerful spirit; if an ordinary martial artist were to meet their gaze, their eyes would sting and their soul would crumble.

There are also people who may appear unremarkable, but possess astonishing talent in military strategy.

But what Lu Yuan least expected was...

Among these 600-plus people, there were over 100 cultivators.

According to information on the Star Guardian's official website.

Among these cultivators, the lowest grade is top-grade spiritual root, and there are even quite a few with heaven-grade spiritual roots!
"Su Lianyue, sixteen years old, possesses the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment cultivation, and ranked first in the enlistment assessment!"

"Fang Sheng, eighteen years old, possesses a mutated lightning-type Heavenly Spiritual Root, has a cultivation level at the early stage of Core Formation, and ranked second in the enlistment assessment!"

"Warren, 20 years old, Sirius, third-tier martial artist, ranked third in the enlistment assessment!"

……

As Lu Yuan scanned the list, he discovered that at least half of the top 100 in this assessment were cultivators.

Moreover, their talents are all extraordinary!
However, upon seeing these cultivators, Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, as he recalled the rumors he had heard before.

According to rumors leaked by some new recruits.

As the situation continues to deteriorate, Saturn has suffered extremely heavy casualties and is on the verge of collapse.

This also forced the Star Alliance to loosen its strict supervision of cultivators, making an exception to allow the Star Army to recruit cultivators in order to replenish its manpower and combat strength.

Besides.

Amidst this chaotic situation, numerous cultivation techniques have quietly infiltrated the Astral Army and have already spread widely among some elite units.

The Terra Empire's high command turned a blind eye to this.

As long as we can recapture Jupiter, everything will be fine.

Otherwise, if the Dark Zerg were to occupy Sacred Tree, the entire Terra star system would face annihilation!
The appearance of these hundreds of cultivators clearly confirmed these rumors.

"It seems I made the right choice coming to the Star Realm. As long as I have enough merit and strength, I can get everything I want here."

Lu Yuan's spirits lifted, and he looked forward to his military journey even more.

"New recruits, the enlistment assessment is now complete."

"All new recruits who have received an excellent or outstanding evaluation are requested to submit their application to join their desired combat unit within one day!"

"Once your application is approved, you can report to your assigned unit!"

The voice of the intelligent optical computer sounded again.

Hear this.

All the ordinary recruits cast envious glances at Lu Yuan and the others.

The stronger a battle group is, the more resources it has, and the higher its survival rate will be compared to other ordinary units.

But choosing a battle team is a privilege reserved exclusively for geniuses.

Ordinary soldiers like them don't even have a choice; they can only follow the instructions of the intelligent computer.

Only recruits who receive excellent or outstanding ratings are eligible to decide which squad they join.

"Application to join the team? It should be similar to filling out college application forms in my previous life."

Lu Yuan opened the Astral Army's internal website and could see information about each warband.

According to the published information, tens of millions of Star Guardians are stationed on Sky Shield Star.

Based on the standard of 100,000 men per battle group, there must be at least a hundred battle groups here.

Each battle group has an elite force of a thousand men.

These elite units are the sharpest blades that their respective battle groups have painstakingly crafted.

Invincible and unstoppable.

It can often determine the outcome of a small-scale battle!
However, even among elite units, there will be differences in strength.

When Lu Yuan opened the detailed information of the various elite units, he found that all the requirements were listed clearly.

"The vanguard company of the first battle group, led by a fifth-tier Nascent Soul stage expert with Fallen Star-level combat power, requires fifteen cultivators!"

"The Ninth Warriors Battle Group, Blade Company, is looking for twenty new recruits. The captain is a sixth-tier warrior with Fallen Star-level combat power. Most members are at least fourth-tier. There are no class requirements. Interested parties may contact us!"

"The Sixth Mech Battle Group, Storm Company, with a sixth-tier mech pilot as its captain and a Fallen Star-level combat strength, needs thirty new mech pilots!"

……

The Star Guardian website provides comprehensive information on all aspects of life.

If we disregard performance, Lu Yuan's most desired destination would definitely be the Vanguard Company of the First Battle Group, which not only boasts the strongest combat power and the most resources but also has the lowest casualty rate.

The problem is that this team only consists of cultivators!
After much deliberation and a comprehensive analysis by the intelligent optical brain, Lu Yuan finally decided to join the Ninth Warriors Battle Group.

The Ninth Warriors Legion is of average strength, but because it has to fight on its home planet, Shenmu, its casualty rate is consistently among the highest.

That's why very few people choose this team.

But Lu Yuan wasn't worried about that.

With his perfected Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he was more than capable of posing no threat to most of the Zerg warriors.

The battlefield on Saturn's home planet, however, was exceptionally dangerous and brutal.

But he can also take this opportunity to gain a lot of battle merits and high-level martial arts techniques!
Think of this.

He immediately submitted his application to join the team, and in less than ten seconds, the other party approved it.

"They're working really fast; it seems they're afraid they won't be able to find enough people."

Lu Yuan found it somewhat amusing.

Based on information available on the official website of the Star Guardian Army.

The Blade Company of the Ninth Warriors Legion, when at full strength, has one thousand high-level warriors.

But ever since the Dark Zerg invasion.

In just six months, the team's personnel dwindled dramatically, and even after multiple rounds of reinforcements, only about three hundred people remain today.

That's why they agreed to Lu Yuan's application to join the team so quickly.

"You have successfully joined the Ninth Warriors Legion. Please pack your belongings and equipment. In ten minutes, someone will take you to the Blade Company's base."

The voice of the intelligent optical computer came through again.

Lu Yuan only had a backpack, so there wasn't much to pack.

He waited in the lobby for a few minutes, and then saw a burly man with a buzz cut, wearing a black combat uniform, walk quickly toward him.

The opponent possessed abundant qi and blood, and the murderous aura on his body was so dense that it almost materialized. He was clearly a genuine fifth-tier Lu Chen level martial artist!
"Feng Yuan, right? Welcome to our Blade Company!"

"My name is Han Yue, and I am the captain of the third squad. You can call me Captain Han."

The man with the buzz cut said very enthusiastically.

"Hello Captain, I'll have to trouble Captain Han to take good care of me in the future."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Don't worry about that, I've got it covered."

"Don't be fooled by what people outside say about our Blade Company. It's not actually that bad."

"As long as you don't do anything reckless, I guarantee you'll become a third-tier martial artist within a year!"

Han Yue patted his chest, making a strong guarantee. (End of Chapter)
