Because the information herein was so complex, Li Ming hadn’t really flipped through it, and Zhang Huaiyuan and the others hadn’t mentioned it either, likely subconsciously believing that this thing was beyond their reach.
"First of all," he stroked his chin.
The benefits of becoming the first undoubtedly went without saying.
However, he always felt it was too conspicuous, not very safe...
As he was pondering in secret, a gentle male voice came from the platform, spreading the sound waves very evenly. It wasn’t loud, but every student could hear it.
The noise gradually ceased, and everyone looked up.
"The University of Science and Technology’s opening academic evaluation, the first item, potential testing, is about to begin. Please, students, do not run around or move about, and do not panic regardless of what happens next."
Outside the area for new student evaluation were journalists who were broadcasting live, as well as students gathering around to watch the excitement.
Especially the first-year students—they were very enthusiastic, mixed with an inexplicably sour thrill, considering they had also been through this moment themselves.
"That’s Nuo Xing, really beautiful, heh, became a school junior."
"Heard this batch is pretty impressive, almost like the one from five years ago."
"The impressive ones are still just a small bunch, the vast majority are ordinary people."
The area for new student evaluation was utterly silent, though under the blazing sun, it felt quite refreshing.
The new student evaluation consisted of three stages, the first being preliminary selection, mainly to determine developmental potential.
At the very least, one must be classified as second-level excellent to enter the next round of Life Form segmentation; E and F levels would be streamed out at this stage.
Then, the actual combat stage followed, after which, combined with other scores, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted.
Potential development evaluation wasn’t done by taking blood samples one by one. With ten thousand students here, that would take forever. Instead, a more high-end method was used.
From beneath the silver-white platform, the storage slowly opened, and a cube metal block about five meters wide floated out from beneath the platform, unfolding on all four sides.
Within it, a cone-shaped mechanical structure extended into fine, sharp pillars.
Four crystal tube lines connected on top, and with a humming sound, the bottom began to charge up, the sharp pillars growing increasingly bright.
A dazzling beam of light surged into the sky, causing a wave of exclamations, and then a canopy of light descended, scanning the area from side to side.
"The Yitelan Civilization’s biological detector can massively screen for the developmental potential of Life Forms, though the margin of error is quite large," Fang Wuji said.
"Usually, it is chosen to conduct the detection more than ten times and take the average result, and then use colors to distinguish the developmental potential; we should be able to see it soon."
Soon, the detection stopped.
A blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping one of the students.
This was just the beginning, as a multitude of beams descended soon after.
"Hmm... not bad, blue beam, third-level developmental potential, similar to what was measured before." Fang Wuji was enveloped by a white beam.
Looking around, the majority were gray, with only a few white and even fewer blue ones grouped together, and in the center, purple.
Within the purple, there were even two faint orange beams.
"To think there are two people with sixth-level developmental potential, that’s really rare." Fang Wuji could not suppress his astonishment, then looked around, ready to see what developmental potential his classmates had.
"Yao Rui is white, not bad..."
In the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly stiffened, his pupils abruptly contracted, a look of disbelief appearing on his face, his heart seemed to be clenched, and he was unable to breathe.
A golden beam of light had just fallen right behind him!
