Chapter 1163: Beast Trial Zone! The Gigant Raymon!

"The Milky Way? I've heard of it—it's separated from our Barnard Star System by three other star systems, but I've never heard of Blue Star."

"It's just a small planet; not hearing of it is normal."

"True, there are too many life-bearing planets in a star system."

"......"

Xu Jingming and Ke Lan chatted along the way, learning a fair amount of information.

He was only 34 years old, yet had already cultivated to Starlight Stage Five.

He had mastered the single-element domain of Metal and reached the Fourteenth Layer of that domain.

At this age, possessing such strength was something utterly unimaginable on Blue Star.

But this was also due to environmental influences.

The ambient energy concentration in the Noah Sanctuary was over a hundred times that of Blue Star.

Xu Jingming had trained all night yesterday on the "Gene Energy Cultivation Art" and gained immensely.

Even without system point allocation or other external resources.

He should be able to break from Starlight Stage Two to Stage Three in less than ten years.

"Once I'm settled here, I'll bring Emers and the others over as soon as possible."

"The cultivation speed in the Sanctuary is far faster than on Blue Star......"

Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.

The two flew together, and after more than half an hour, they finally arrived near the Beast Trial Zone.

Looking down from high above, they could see endless mountains and forests stretching into the distance.

They could even faintly make out massive beasts, either hidden among the clouds or concealed within the forests.

The entire region was covered by a pale blue energy barrier, preventing the beasts from escaping.

"This is the Beast Trial Zone!"

Xu Jingming gazed at the area with awe.

According to data collected by Eva, this region spanned a staggering 600 million square kilometers.

Keep in mind, the entire surface area of Blue Star is only 510 million square kilometers.

In other words, this single trial zone is larger than the entire surface area of Blue Star.

Even for Starlight-level experts, this area was more than enough room to unleash their full power.

"Report for your evaluation rating over there—we'll land first."

Xu Jingming and Ke Lan landed on the designated square, where hundreds of figures were already present.

Each of these figures was fully armed, eyes gleaming with sharpness, clearly formidable.

Some of the auras radiating from these individuals even sent a chill through Xu Jingming.

"The Noah Sanctuary, gathering the entire Empire's prodigies—truly teeming with hidden dragons and tigers!"

Xu Jingming's eyes glinted slightly, his inner battle-lust rising further.

Meanwhile, Ke Lan, scanning the surroundings, was even more excited than him:

"Level One geniuses! So many Level One geniuses! The rumors were true!"

"What rumors?"

Xu Jingming looked at him in confusion.

"You don't know?"

This was unexpected for Ke Lan, but he patiently explained:

"You've heard of the Gigant species, right? Those who reach Cosmic level upon adulthood?"

"The Empire somehow acquired a Gigant to participate in this certification exam—many of our Immortal-level elders will be present."

"So many geniuses who've already passed Level One certification have come back specifically to retake the practical exam."

"They're hoping to catch the attention of those Immortal elders—even if the odds are minuscule, it's still an opportunity."

Xu Jingming paused, stunned.

Though he'd never heard of the Gigant, he understood the weight of "Cosmic level upon adulthood."

It made perfect sense that Immortal-level elders from the Sanctuary would come.

And the behavior of these Level One geniuses was easy to understand.

Immortal-level experts were unattainable heights; an opportunity to perform before them was exceedingly rare.

And this time, not just one Immortal-level elder would be present!

"Immortal-level elders arriving! S-rank—this is your chance!"

"If you gain the favor of an Immortal deity, even within the Sanctuary, you'll soar beyond all others!"

Eva's excited voice echoed in his mind.

As a former Stellar Apex-level expert, she knew better than anyone how rare this opportunity was.

Xu Jingming naturally understood this as well.

"Give it everything—must reveal my talent, make the Immortal-level elders notice me."

This was his personal strategy.

If necessary, he would spend all 4.1 billion remaining ability points on his system panel.

If he gained the favor of an Immortal-level elder, the Magma Core Blood Dragon beyond Blue Star could be dealt with easily.

"The Noah Sanctuary Talent Evaluation will begin in half an hour. All students must complete identity verification."

Half an hour before nine, a smart metallic sphere appeared on the square, beginning to verify identities one by one.

Xu Jingming and Ke Lan each completed their identity verification.

They each received a number, one being 534 and the other 535.

Just then, a sudden stir arose up ahead, and Xu Jingming instinctively looked over as well.

He saw a burly man, over five meters tall, appear on the plaza.

The man's entire body was a mass of knotted muscle, two small pointed horns protruded from the top of his head, and his skin was covered in a pattern of cracked lines.

Within those lines, what looked like blazing, crimson-red lava seemed to flow, giving the man an incomparably formidable appearance.

"That's the Giant Spirit clansman, Ramon!"

Ke Lan beside him whispered in astonishment, and the other prodigies on the plaza all turned their gazes toward the burly man.

Most of those gazes held awe and envy.

The vast majority of them had no way of breaking through to Cosmic level.

Yet Ramon needed do nothing at all — reaching adulthood made him Cosmic level.

Even they could not help feeling envious of such a bloodline.

"A Giant Spirit clansman in his juvenile stage..." Xu Jingming also watched Ramon.

He had just used Eva to look up information related to the Giant Spirit clan.

For the Giant Spirit clan, juvenile and adult were not determined by body size, but by the horns on the head.

Only when the horns grew to one meter long was one considered to have entered adulthood.

Ramon's horns were only five or six centimeters long — clearly, he was still in his juvenile stage.

And for a Giant Spirit clansman to grow from the juvenile stage to the adult stage required at least over a hundred thousand years.

"Worthy of a rare bloodline of the human race — a Cosmic-level powerhouse follows him at all times."

Eva's exclamation rang out in his heart, and only then did Xu Jingming notice a figure about two meters tall following beside Ramon.

The other party stood there as if transparent; had Eva not alerted him, he would never have noticed at all.

Apparently sensing the gaze, this Cosmic-level powerhouse looked over.

'What a sharp perception!'

Xu Jingming's heart gave a jolt, and he hurriedly looked away.

Fortunately, the other party did not look long, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

As for the Giant Spirit clansman Ramon, from the moment he landed until now, he had never opened his mouth.

After completing identity verification, he simply stood to one side, resting with his eyes closed.

This left many of the prodigies on the plaza who wished to make his acquaintance with no choice but to return disappointed.

"The Giant Spirit clan is considered a top-tier prodigy even within a faction like the Eternal Star Alliance.

Why would he bother to make the acquaintance of people most of whom will ultimately never break through to Cosmic level?"

Eva had long anticipated this.

A prodigy naturally has the pride of a prodigy.

In Ramon of the Giant Spirit clan's eyes, not a single person present was worth his making acquaintance with.
