8: Stunning performance, a perfect score!

Those lasers and energy bullets that were too fast for the naked eye to capture had crystal-clear trajectories in his eyes.

He moved.

There was no earth-shattering Aura.

His body just swayed slightly and turned into an afterimage.

A laser beam brushed past the air beside him, leaving a charred hole in the wall behind.

A row of energy bullets exploded where he had just been standing, stirring up circles of energy ripples.

He was like a fallen leaf in a torrent, strolling leisurely through the airtight attack network.

All the attacks couldn't even touch a single strand of his hair.

His figure shuttled rapidly among the group of Puppets, so fast that he only left behind a series of blurred shadows.

"Bang—!"

He threw a punch casually.

The alloy chest of the Puppet at the very front, which was enough to withstand heavy machine gun fire, instantly caved in and then burst into countless fragments with a bang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Chen Nian didn't stop his pace, using both his fists and feet.

Every strike was simple and direct.

But with every strike, a combat Puppet was bound to be violently dismantled.

That solid alloy was as fragile as a cracker under his fists and feet.

This scene was clearly presented to all the spectators through the huge screen outside.

The entire viewing area was dead silent.

Everyone's eyes were wide and their mouths agape, as if they had seen a miracle.

"Holy crap... Is... is he still human?"

"Those attacks are so dense, yet they can't even touch a single hair of his?"

"His speed is too fast! I'm about to lose sight of his movements!"

"Not only is he fast, but his attack power is also ridiculously strong. One punch, one Puppet!"

After a brief dead silence, there was a sky-piercing uproar.

"Do you think he'll... hold on until the end?" a young Special Agent muttered to himself.

"Hold on until the end? Are you kidding me! It's just started, the attack intensity will increase exponentially later!"

An old Special Agent nearby immediately retorted, but his tone carried a hint of uncertainty that he hadn't even noticed himself.

"I think... it's very likely he'll get double full marks."

"Double full marks? That's impossible! Since the Spiritual Energy Bureau was established, double full marks have never appeared in a newcomer's test!"

"Just because there weren't any before doesn't mean there aren't any now! Look at him, he's not even using any strength! He's practically playing!"

"The Big Boss is awesome! Keep it up, Big Boss!"

No one knew who shouted first.

Immediately afterward, scattered cheers actually rang out in the viewing area.

The candidates who were originally both respectful and fearful of Chen Nian now watched the figure killing in all directions on the screen, and their gazes began to change.

Fear was still there, but awe and worship were growing wildly.

Time passed minute by minute.

The difficulty of the test continued to climb at a terrifying rate.

The Puppets became faster, and their attack methods became more diverse.

The frequency and power of the traps and mechanisms increased several times over.

"Ah—!"

"I give up!"

"I can't hold on anymore!"

Wails and shouts of surrender kept ringing out.

On the screen, the light spots representing the candidates went out one by one.

After thirty minutes, less than ten people remained on the field.

After forty-five minutes, only Chen Nian and Jiang Tao remained on the field.

Jiang Tao was dripping with sweat, gasping for air.

His Ability had long been pushed to the limit, and his body was covered in wounds of varying depths.

He could feel that his physical strength and Mental Energy were on the verge of exhaustion.

But he was still gritting his teeth and persisting.

His gaze was fixed firmly on his score.

Combat Test: 92 points.

Survival Test: 90 points.

This was already a top score sufficient for him to be among the best and enter any elite department.

He could totally call for a stop now.

However, when his gaze caught a glimpse of Chen Nian, who was still undergoing the test, a strong sense of unwillingness and competitiveness surged from the bottom of his heart.

He hadn't lost yet!

He wanted to see how long that guy could actually last!

However, when his gaze unintentionally swept over Chen Nian's score.

His whole body froze.

Combat Test: 100 points.

Puppets Killed: 487.

That bright red "100" was like a red-hot branding iron, searing his eyeballs.

Full marks?

Already... full marks?

And he had actually killed over 400 Puppets!

Is this still a human?!

His Combat Test was already at full marks, and he was only less than three minutes away from the countdown for full marks in the Survival Test.

Jiang Tao's head buzzed, and his mind went blank.

He subconsciously looked at the footage of Chen Nian's test.

In the footage, facing dozens of reinforced Puppets and a dense fire network.

Chen Nian still had that calm and relaxed appearance.

He had even reduced the frequency of his movements.

Just by occasionally turning sideways or raising a hand, he could precisely avoid or block all attacks.

He was like a traveler strolling leisurely in a storm.

He even had the leisure to slowly dismantle those Puppets that rushed up into parts, one by one, with his fists and feet.

That composure, that elegance, formed an extremely sharp contrast with his own wretched state and struggle.

Jiang Tao's fighting spirit was completely crushed at this moment.

Despair.

Endless despair submerged him like a tide.

Monster.

This is not a human at all.

This is a monster wearing human skin!

He had a momentary lapse of concentration.

A thick laser beam instantly hit his body.

Sharp pain came, and he was blown away by the huge impact, hitting the wall heavily and losing consciousness.

His test was over.

At this point, Chen Nian was the only one left in the entire testing ground.

In the viewing area, everyone stood up.

If they had a hint of doubt at the beginning.

Then now, no one doubted anymore.

This man was the well-deserved king.

An absolute powerhouse who crushed everyone!

"My god... he's still fighting... his combat score was full long ago!"

"He's already smashed over five hundred, right? This has broken the historical record for the Spiritual Energy Bureau's newcomer test. What was the previous record? Was it over two hundred?"

"Too strong... No wonder he dared to be so arrogant before, it turns out he really has the capital!"

"The Big Boss is awesome! Keep it up, Big Boss! Hold on until the end!"

"Double full marks! We are about to witness history!"

The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its peak.

Exclamations and shouts rose one after another.

Everyone's eyes converged on that lonely and powerful figure, filled with fanaticism.

[Countdown over, this test is officially terminated.]

As the final electronic voice fell.

Chen Nian slowly withdrew his fist and stood still.

The ground around him was covered with a thick layer of Puppet wreckage and fragments.

The next second.

On the largest screen in the center, the final results popped up.

[Candidate: Chen Nian]

[Combat Test Score: 100]

[Survival Test Score: 100]

Two bright red "100"s, like two dazzling suns, scorched everyone's eyes.

After a second of silence, the whole place erupted in cheers like a mountain tsunami.

"Double full marks! It's really double full marks!"

"Too terrifying! I've been in the Spiritual Energy Bureau for five years, and it's the first time I've seen a newcomer get double full marks!"

"Is this the Big Boss? Love it, love it!"

"Big Boss, look at me, look at me! Requesting to team up! My support is super strong!"

At this moment, all the previous fear and wariness vanished into thin air.

In its place was almost blind worship and admiration.

In the face of absolute power, all rules and human relationships seemed so pale and weak.

Almost everyone made up their minds.

After the test, they must find a way to get close to this Big Boss.

If they could be favored by him and brought along, the future road would undoubtedly be much easier to walk.

After all, who wouldn't want to be carried by a Big Boss?
