Chapter 778: List

"Body tempering trial will open in 5 minutes."

"All trial participants, get ready."

"Familiar system prompt, familiar vortex."

"This time, what unfolds is a white vortex."

"Heads crowded, outside the trial tower first there was a brief silence, then like a stone thrown into a forest, it erupted into fierce clamor."

"Far more people than the previous two trials."

"Physique Awakened Ones are the most numerous system in the apocalypse."

"A strong physique is the foundation of survival!"

"An army of up to 7000 Awakened Ones, standing according to their respective war zones, nervously stared at that white vortex."

"Gathered around Lin An, the 77 Awakened Ones formed from a small selection of the Soviet War Zone, Latin America, and Zhang Yong's squad are now desperately protecting him."

"Even if, perhaps it is not needed."

"But at this moment, everyone's heart is filled with fervent emotion."

"Not long ago, when that brief system announcement sounded, everyone's mind flashed with a crazy thought."

"Lin An, he actually can really use system permissions!"

"How shocking!"

"Compared to Lin An's previously displayed strength, or rather his thinking ability."

"It is the ability related to the system that truly convinces them completely."

"What forces, what war zones, what strong individuals."

"Before the system, the fragile are unable to withstand a single blow, like insignificant ants."

"Even if Lin An clearly stated that it is merely using a basic permission once, it does not signify anything."

"But this action still cannot stop everyone's wild imagination."

"Especially Zhang Yong."

"This one, coming from the Military Region, who should be extremely loyal to the military, is an elite warrior."

"He almost instantly 'rebelled', unreservedly telling Lin An everything he knows."

"It is no exaggeration to say that, aside from not letting him directly assassinate Nie Ping, Lin An's every command he will obey without hesitation."

"It is not fear of power, nor is it blind admiration."

"But rather he clearly realized something."

"Among the billions of survivors worldwide, not a single person has ever come into contact with system permissions."

"But, Lin An has done it."

"This seemingly trivial announcement symbolizes that survivors might possibly come into contact with the system."

"This is the sole glimmer of hope for ending the apocalypse."

"Regarding this, Lin An actually feels somewhat helpless."

"He himself really isn't the 'pervert' everyone imagines, let alone controlling the system to end the apocalypse."

"Even an existence like the Savior System only dares to play small tricks behind the scenes."

"And as the host, a month ago he was forced to flee into the Secret Realm due to the system's punishment task 'Pursuit Kill'."

"Having adjusted his mask, Lin An silently glanced at the slowly dissipating system permission."

"In fact, he had hesitated over whether to use the permission so quickly rather than keep it as a backup."

"But after a moment's consideration, he still decided to use it directly."

"After all, even if an F-rank permission is played to its fullest, the eventual benefit cannot surpass an SSS-rank skill."

"Before the so-called Death Calamity skill, all rewards are that dim and lackluster."

"He is still about 5000 points away from the 9999-point threshold, and no matter what, there cannot be any mistake."

"Has the data been compiled?"

"After suppressing the thought, Lin An casually asked Fiona."

"As the leader of the Latin American War Zone, Fiona has a decent advantage in contacting other war zones and gathering intelligence."

"More importantly, the Soviet War Zone representative is very willing to work for her."

"On the other end of the conversation, Fiona lightly tapped her head, her cute face full of seriousness:"

"Lin An, the data you wanted has been gathered."

"But the few people you wanted to find, we only found one suspect."

"Having said that, she sent the information to Lin An's private message."

"That is a long page report, filled with names."

"【In this trial, the focus is on the Awakened Ones list.】"

"【Organizer: Ter】"

"【Suspected of having naked equipment 30 points or above (including 35 points): Lihao (Fusion Heart), Lin An, Chris, Chen Yangtian, Ron (Colonel), Andre (Mind Controller), Lawrence (Dragon Warrior), Shanben Zangchuan, Jiang Haochen..】"

"【Total: 81 people.】"

"【Suspected of gaining large amounts of points: Lin An, Chris, Zengwu, Purple-pattern trial participant (? solo, name unknown), White-robed (non-mind controller, solo? name unknown), Zhang Yong's entire team, Fiona's entire team...】"

"【Total: 301 people.】"

"【Dual-system Awakened Ones: 791 people, Three-system Awakened Ones: 43 people (currently only Lin An is suspected to be three-system, and he participated in the first two trials; the remaining one is strength system, spirit system, and 4 people are agility, physique.) Four-system: none】"

"【Threat level rating:】"

"【S-rank - Lihao, Mind Controller, Ron, Chen Yangtian...】"

"【A-rank: Lin An (special), Pattern trial participant, Zhang Tie, Lawrence...】"

B-rank: Zhang Yong, Fei Ou Na (weak), 317 individuals who spontaneously unlocked the gene lock...

Lin An frowned slightly, lowered his head in thought.

Fei Ou Na looked at Lin An somewhat embarrassedly.

On the list, Lin An's rating seemed utterly absurd to her.

A-rank?

Just from what she saw, Lin An's strength at least crushed everyone on the list!

Alright, maybe Lihao and Luo En are unknowns.

After all, these two have never participated in a trial.

Moreover, this list was compiled by Ter, so she couldn't complain about it.

That guy merely learned of Lin An's speed and strength from the agility trial participant.

In Ter's view, being ranked A-rank first and marked as special already accounts for Lin An's special mastery of the Blink skill.

After all, only Zhang Yong and others have personally witnessed Lin An's combat process.

It doesn't matter.

Lin An frowned, not because he cared about his danger rating being only A-rank, but because he couldn't find the information he wanted.

Since entering the trial, he has been focused on one thing.

That is, where are the Four Emperors of his past life and the Awakened Ones who could be called king-level?

As if they had vanished, these top-tier beings who fought their way out of billions of survivors, he had only encountered one Gao Tian.

With that population base, there will always be a few extraordinarily gifted individuals, or super lucky ones.

But so far...

To be frank, Lin An feels that none of the Awakened Ones he's encountered are worth fighting.

Is it because these extremely strong ones are all psychic?

In memory, most of those Fourth Stage beings from his Past Life were psychic Awakened Ones.

Perhaps it's the system's bias, or the special nature of the psychic system.

Even Gao Tian could be considered half a psychic.

Because of my appearance, has the course of history changed?

Were those extremely strong ones submerged by the altered history?

Or perhaps the trial tower appeared too early, and those people haven't yet shown their potential.

He secretly doubted.

But no matter how Lin An thinks, at least a few should show up in this trial, right?

In the subsequent trials, he only needs to focus on farming points.

For this trial, what truly matters to him is the deathmatch.

And in his memory, those extremely strong ones who ought to have appeared are the true opponents he needs to worry about.

Amid his doubts, the system's countdown gradually began to sound.

Just as Lin An was about to enter, a voice gritting its teeth, full of resentment, with extraordinarily complex emotions, sounded:

"Lin An!"

"See you in the deathmatch! I'll prove to you how big a mistake it is to ignore me!"

?

Lin An stared in astonishment at a man dressed like a business elite, with a stiff posture.

His ID information hovered above his head, as if afraid he wouldn't see it.

He slightly frowned, realizing he didn't know this person at all...

【Jiang Haochen】?

I seemed to have seen this name on the list just now..

This name rings a bell...

But why does this person speak so chuunibyou?

"Beep, the physique trial begins!"
