This villain is too popular.

Chapter 128 Not only did you change the script without permission, but you also stole mine!
[Steam City, Gear Building, Fifth Division Assessment Grounds]

"Brother Shuimo, what do you think the association's next assessment will be?"

Looking at Tiandao, who had also easily passed the first stage of the Star Energy Water Curtain assessment.

Yu Chen immediately and very naturally approached him.

Although he seemed to be talking to the Heavenly Dao, his peripheral vision bypassed the Heavenly Dao and subtly glanced at little Danika, who was tightly clutching the Heavenly Dao's trouser leg.

It seemed to be curious about something.

Upon noticing these things, Tiandao couldn't help but sigh that those with squinty eyes were indeed 'monsters'.

Everyone assumed that Danica had managed to cross the Star Energy Water Curtain thanks to their own help.

However, a small number of people present noticed it.

Danica relied on her own 'strength' to pass through the star energy water curtain that could interfere with the star energy circulation within the star envoy's body.

This five-year-old girl is actually a 'Star Envoy' with considerable strength.

Yu Chen was one of the people who saw this.

That's why I couldn't help but want to test the ways of Heaven.

After all, this pair, one big and one small, seems unremarkable.

But Yu Chen always felt that they were the biggest obstacle to his obtaining the position of captain of the Fifth Division.

Heavenly Dao guessed his thoughts and replied gently, "Hmm, perhaps it's to let us learn from each other, or perhaps it's to arrange for someone to test us."

"After all, we don't have many people left now."

Yu Chen nodded and looked around.

Apart from Kong Cheng, the Red-Cloaked Star Envoy of the Second Rank, the only ones who have passed the first test are him, Tiandao, Xiao Danica, and a Unique Star Envoy who has lived in the Steam City for a long time but has never joined the Association.

As the examiner had just said, the others, despite their best efforts, ultimately failed to cross the Star Energy Water Curtain.

After all, the three hundred kinds of star energy fluctuations in that water curtain were enough to disrupt the flow of star energy within the star envoy's body.

This means that those who lack control over their own star energy cannot even mobilize their "star source," let alone operate their star energy to resist interference.

Soon, the assessment period came to an end.

Of those who remained in the ring, only four people besides Danica remained.

At this point, everyone understood that the captain and vice-captain of the Fifth Division would likely be chosen from among these four.

Seeing that it was almost time, the examiner returned to the arena.

"Congratulations to everyone who has passed the first stage of the assessment. As for those who did not succeed, don't be discouraged. After all, those who made it here are already the best in the Steam City."

"So your failure is not shameful."

"Alright, those who did not pass the test, please leave in an orderly manner."

"After all, what follows is not something that ordinary people can just watch."

Upon hearing the examiner's words, those who had failed the first stage of the assessment left the assessment area.

Only those who passed the assessment, including Tiandao, patiently waited for the assessor's next assessment arrangements.

To Yu Chen's and the others' surprise.

The next assessment was not about having them compete against each other.

Instead, there will be a specially selected strong person to test them.

Furthermore, according to the examiner, this person is a strong individual at the level of a branch captain or above, and is fully capable of testing them.

Upon hearing this, Kong Cheng, the second-level high-ranking star envoy nicknamed "Master Kong," immediately became excited.

"Finally something interesting."

Because the first stage of the assessment was too embarrassing.

This made him feel that he had to get revenge as soon as possible.

Otherwise, where would I, a second-level high-ranking star envoy, put my face?

However, the examiner looked at the enthusiastic Kong Cheng with pity in his eyes.

Because if the original assessment had been followed, Kong Cheng might have actually performed quite well.

However, due to someone's last-minute decision, this assessment was destined to make everyone present lose face.

After all, he couldn't fathom how these people could possibly escape unscathed from such a monster.

Thinking of this, the examiner said in a meaningful tone, "Everyone, good luck from now on."

After saying this, the original examiner left the venue.

Ding!
With a crisp elevator sound, an elevator outside the arena opened.

Under the curious gazes of Master Kong and the others, a woman with brown hair and red eyes slowly stepped out of the elevator.

She was a brown-haired woman with a powerful aura.

Standing at 1.75 meters tall, her brown hair, tied in a high ponytail, drew a sharp arc across her waist like a razor-sharp blade as she walked.

Her black combat suit clung tightly to her explosively powerful body, revealing a unique 'star pattern' resembling a scar on her bare abdomen. At the same time, an exaggeratedly long demonic sword hung from her lower back.

Both the audience in the dimensional world and the will of Heaven are clear about this.

The scar on Chen Xing's abdomen was not a 'scar' at all.

Rather, it is a sign that Dust Star has completed a 'star core awakening', a 'star mark' that belongs uniquely to her.

Amidst the curious gazes of most of the examiners, Chen Xing placed his right hand on the hilt of the demon sword at his waist and slowly walked to the center of the arena.

She deliberately avoided looking at Tiandao, who was standing in the corner, and calmly said, "Three minutes. I will only give each of you three minutes."

As he spoke, Chen Xing held up one of his fingers.

"In the first minute, I will use 20% of my strength."

"In the second minute, I will use 40% of my strength."

"In the last minute, I will use 60% of my strength."

There are two conditions for you to pass the assessment.

She paused, her gaze seemingly sweeping across the entire room, but lingering a little longer on Tiandao and Danica.

Especially when she saw little Danica, who was always clutching Tiandao's trouser leg.

Dust Star's crimson pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Fortunately, she had amazing self-control and did not let others notice anything unusual.

Only Tiandao and Uncle Fu, who had followed her for many years in the VIP room, captured this moment.

But it was this one glance that made Heavenly Dao feel as if a large red "danger" character appeared above his head.

If his previous ideas were just guesses...

That fleeting glance from Chen Xing right now undoubtedly confirmed his thoughts.

Dust Star, that guy... he really came for me!

Having thought this through, Heaven had made up its mind.

No matter how Chen Xing tested him for a while, he didn't care.

He would try his best to hide it.

Otherwise, my disguise, which I planned to keep hidden until the end of the second season, might be exposed prematurely here!

Just as Tiandao was pondering how to avoid this 'crisis' that should never have occurred.

Dust Star finally spoke again.

"Your first condition for passing is to hold on to me for three minutes."

"As for the second condition for passing, I'll discuss it when one of you can meet it."

"Alright, who's going to go first?"

"What a joke!"

Master Kong suddenly stood up, looking at Chen Xing with a face full of resentment.

"I know you're a branch captain-level powerhouse, but 20% or 40% is a bit too dismissive. You should at least be..."

Before Master Kong could finish speaking, Chen Xing glanced at him expressionlessly.

In an instant, Master Kong felt himself being engulfed by an exaggerated tide of blood.

In this viscous, boundless tide of blood.

Not only did breathing become a luxury for Master Kong, but he also witnessed countless corpses of star beasts and humans in this tide of blood, which greatly shocked him.

How many star beasts and humans would it take to kill to create such a terrifying blood tide?
This 'pressure' released by the dust star was brief.

But this had already caused Master Kong, who was at the second-level superior position, to instinctively kneel down on the ground with a 'thud,' his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

Still reeling from the shock, Master Kong struggled to lift his head.

From this angle, he could see Chen Xing's cold, red eyes looking down at him.

Looking at the pale-faced Master Kong, Chen Xing said coldly, "Anyone who can't even withstand my pressure is not worthy of my serious attention."

"Because my knife isn't some toy you're playing house with."

Chen Xing's words were full of contempt for Master Kong.

It was as if what was in front of her was not a powerful second-level star envoy at all, but just an ordinary ant.

But despite her almost arrogant tone and expression, no one, including the entire audience, thought there was anything wrong with what she said.

Even Master Kong, who was just a moment ago very unconvinced, was no exception.

Because at this moment, Chen Xing truly possesses such strength.

However, upon hearing Chen Xing's familiar words and seeing the familiar arena scene around him...

There was a strange sense of déjà vu about the Heavenly Dao.

He felt like he'd seen this scene somewhere before!
Xing, it's one thing for you to change the script so rashly, but how could you steal mine!
And it wasn't just Tiandao who discovered this, but also the viewers in the real-world dimension.
