Ye Chenyang naturally noticed the two people behind him and knew why they deliberately raised their voices.

I just wanted to show off and attract attention.

childish.

Just then, Ye Chenyang felt his clothes being gently tugged.

He turned to the side and saw that Jiang Mian's brows were slightly furrowed, and his face clearly said, "I want to stay away."

Ye Chenyang immediately understood and moved a step to the side, gesturing for her to go to the front.

The two tacitly switched places.

He turned his head and glanced at "Brother Wang" who was still talking loudly behind him.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Brother Wang saw clearly what the two were doing.

She ignored him completely, instead gently tugging at the boy's clothes before hiding in front of him.

He absolutely refused to believe that the two had no connection.

Being ignored like this, especially with many people around, made him feel inexplicably embarrassed.

The boy even gave him a provocative look.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, his companion gave a dry laugh and wisely kept quiet.

"Brother Wang" scoffed irritably, muttering to himself as if trying to numb himself:

"You're obviously from out of town, don't you understand...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

No matter how hard I tried, my body felt like it was nailed to the spot, and I couldn't even make a sound.

What kind of ability is this?!

Who did it? The boy?

He was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his back instantly. But remembering that he was in a public place, he kept reassuring himself that he shouldn't die on the spot.

His companion noticed that something was wrong with his expression and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Brother Wang?"

"Huh? Oh."

"Brother Wang" blinked, subconsciously touched his head, and felt like something was wrong.

Strange, what just happened? Why is my back wet?

……

Ye Chenyang took a number and led Jiang Mian into the waiting area.

"Let's sit here, it'll be our turn soon."

Jiang Mian nodded and sat down in the chair, finally finding some peace and quiet.

She was just a nobody who had just reached the second tier, and she had already "eaten" quite a few of the third tier people, so she naturally didn't take her seriously.

However, given her current "persona," while it's safe enough, there are still many limitations, so she had no choice but to ask Ye Chenyang for help.

He probably took direct action to silence the other party.

She had never seen that skill before. First, it immobilized the target, and then it seemed like there was a memory gap.

His [Radiance] pinnacle skill has such a sinister effect?

If I use it on myself, will it have the same effect?

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Ye Chenyang assumed she was still uncomfortable because of what had just happened, so he comforted her:

"It's a bit noisy here because there are a lot of people. Don't worry about it, I'm here."

"Um."

After waiting for a while, Jiang Mian's number was called first.

She swiped her ticket and followed the staff's instructions through a heavy, soundproof door.

It was spacious inside, and there was a small machine that looked like a printer.

Issuance of certificates on-site?

As soon as she entered the room, several pairs of eyes immediately fell on her.

"Jiang Mian, from Base City 144, has declared ability number 48, [Eye of the Storm], currently at Tier 1, is that correct?"

The middle-aged woman sitting in the center was the first to ask a question.

Jiang Mian glanced at the work badge hanging around her neck, which read "Zhong Fen" in the name column.

"Yes."

She nodded, her face still showing a somewhat timid expression.

"Little girl, don't be nervous. It's just a demonstration of my abilities. They won't do anything to you."

A kind-looking middle-aged man with gray hair standing next to him said, his name tag showing that he was named Ge Sheng.

Zhong Fen frowned slightly.

Since the training program was launched, there has been a significant increase in the number of advanced trainees coming to them for certification, mostly seeking opportunities to both train and earn money.

In her eyes, the girl named Jiang Mian, although seemingly talented, exuded a delicate and introverted aura...

It's obvious he hasn't experienced much real combat.

She's seen plenty of young people like this. They may have talent, but their mindset hasn't shifted from being students. If they can unleash their abilities on the front lines, that's already quite an achievement.

However, in the early game, [Eye of the Storm] is indeed more inclined towards support and crowd control, with limited offensive capabilities. It's fine to just go through the motions in testing.

So, Zhong Fen asked directly:

"The test won't be too complicated. Jiang Mian, how well have you grasped the basic abilities of [Eye of the Storm]?"

The first-tier skill of [Eye of the Storm] is controlling the wind field, which can be divided into three levels according to the standard.

First, it can draw airflow; second, it can stably generate a wind field, the scale, time, and stability of which vary from person to person.

The third... is the compressed wind field, which creates wind pressure swirling.

She had seen several [Eye of the Storm] before, but almost none of them could reach the third level before reaching the second tier.

Jiang Mian took in her expression just now.

The situation here is indeed different from that of Base City 144; strength is valued more here.

"There's no problem generating a wind field."

"OK."

Zhong Fen nodded and reached out to activate the testing equipment.

The next second, in the center of the room, three black puppets steadily walked into the testing area marked by yellow lines.

Unlike the dolls seen in the city defense, these are obviously more advanced. Their surfaces are smooth and flawless, suggesting they have some special coating, and they even have legs.

"Three standard test dummies. Demonstrate your abilities and limit their movements as much as possible. Let's begin."

Jiang Mian walked into the testing area and gently raised his left hand in front of him.

At the same time, the three puppets turned around and walked in three different directions.

A gentle breeze stirred around her.

Just a few seconds later, it was enough for them to struggle to move, and some even lost their balance.

He then stumbled and fell to the ground with a dull thud, unable to get up due to the wind.

Although it did not directly affect the area outside the venue, the escaping airflow still caused the papers on the table to become scattered.

"Isn't...something wrong with this?"

Zhong Fen frowned and looked at Ge Sheng beside her.

"His aura is definitely at the first level."

He nodded, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

"A high affinity with elements naturally leads to a much greater influence."

I thought this young girl was too young and came from a remote base city, so she probably wouldn't have had much guidance and her skills might be quite inexperienced... but I was wrong.

The wind field maintained its peak output for ten seconds before gradually dissipating.

Jiang Mian touched his forehead, which was covered in non-existent sweat, and let out a soft sigh of relief. It seemed that he had exhausted himself.

The room was quiet for a few seconds, with only the sound of the machine running nearby.

A moment later, the machine immediately spat out a golden card with Jiang Mian's basic information and a serial number engraved on it.

"Ms. Jiang, please keep your pass safe."

Zhong Fen stood up, took out a card and handed it to Jiang Mian. Her tone was much gentler than before, and it even carried a hint of respect.

Clearly, she understood what high elemental affinity meant.

Even the lowest-ranking [Eye of the Wind] in the advanced sequence will not have low future achievements; at least before the sixth rank, advancement will be smooth sailing.

Jiang Mian took the card without saying a word.

She frowned and looked up at the surveillance camera above her.

Someone...is staring at me?

I have a bad feeling about this...
