Chapter 348: Legendary Evaluation! First Sequence Legacy!

Whoosh~~~

The crisp clashing sound echoed through the base hall.

All the psychics in the hall stared blankly at the young man repeatedly pulling out assessment crystals from Position 5.

The assessment crystal counter beside him had long surpassed 30, 00!

"So many assessment crystals... how did Su Chen manage this?" Lin Hui and the others stared in shock.

Keep in mind that

Just moments ago, the faction with the most assessment crystals had only produced ten thousand or so.

"This..." Qin Zheng of Thunder Martial Arts Hall was also taken aback.

So Su Chen's earlier refusal wasn't out of face-saving—he genuinely had that many assessment crystals!

"The number of assessment crystals has reached 40, 00!"

"Whoa! This is terrifying—did he accidentally find some hidden treasure?"

Aside from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall group, all other psychics were discussing Xu Jingming.

Even on other detection positions, no one went forward to claim rewards.

Everyone wanted to see just how many assessment crystals he could pull out.

On the side of the Sakura Nation's Tenmi Dojo team, a middle-aged man stared fixedly at Xu Jingming.

His eyes brimmed with endless coldness.

His name was Shankou Er Yi, second-in-command of Tenmi Dojo, after Sakura Rin.

He remembered clearly that Sakura Rin still had over 50, 00 assessment crystals.

Now that Sakura Rin was missing, whoever held the most assessment crystals was the prime suspect!

From his rank, this guy was only a high-tier fourth-rank.

He could never have wiped out Sakura Rin's team of four low-tier sixth-ranks and one low-tier fifth-rank.

But this was the only lead they had right now!

Even if the odds were slim, they had to grab him first.

Thinking this, he whispered in Sakura Nation's language to a nearby sixth-rank psychic:

"Alert the team—once this Great Xia man claims his reward, arrest him immediately!"

The man's heart jolted; he hesitated: "He's from Great Xia's Thunder Martial Arts Hall. Isn't this too aggressive?"

Compared to Great Xia, Sakura Nation was undoubtedly a weak country.

Even a single Thunder Martial Arts Hall in Great Xia could annihilate their entire nation.

If this arrest sparks conflict, it'll be a disaster.

"The Holy Maiden is missing—this is our only lead.

If we can't recover the Holy Maiden, do you want to commit suicide after leaving the ruins to atone?"

Shankou said grimly.

Sakura Rin was the hope for Tenmi Dojo's rise—and for the entire Sakura Nation's future!

If they couldn't recover the Holy Maiden, none of them deserved to live.

Hearing this, the man finally understood, his expression hardening.

"Hai!" he replied, hurrying off to notify other psychics...

Thus, under the watchful gazes of countless different eyes,

Xu Jingming tossed all his assessment crystals into the device—totaling a staggering 53, 00!

Immediately after,

he stepped forward into the detection position.

Hum~~~

The machine beneath his feet whirred to life, scanning his entire body.

Only seconds later, blinding golden light erupted from the base beneath him!

Simultaneously, a majestic voice rang out from the glowing sphere projected ahead:

"Soldier 5, total assessment crystals submitted: 53, 00. Legendary talent. Comprehensive evaluation: Legendary. Reward: Legacy 003 granted!"

As the words ended, the entire hall erupted in uproar.

"Legendary evaluation?! Wasn't the highest rating in the 9th Civilization Base just 'Supernatural'?"

"Can't you see? He just broke the base's evaluation record!"

"Insane! Over 50, 00 assessment crystals caused this?"

"What does the number of assessment crystals have to do with it?! It's his talent rating that's insane!"

"..."

After the shock came overwhelming confusion:

"Talent is evaluated based on overall psychic rank and cultivation speed.

Yet even S-rank awakened psychics only received a 'Supernatural' rating—why is his 'Legendary'?"

This puzzled even Qin Zheng and others from Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

Chi Huang Zhen Lei was merely an A-rank psychic ability—how could it earn such a high rating?

And it had outright shattered the old evaluation system.

While everyone was baffled, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the civilization ruins hall:

"Warning! Warning! SS-rank psychic ability 'Doushen Thunder' detected—eligible for First Sequence Legacy. Clearing the hall now!!"

"Warning! Warning! Detected..."

Red alert lights flashed wildly throughout the hall.

Before the psychics could react, they felt an unknown force lift them bodily and hurl them out of the main base!

Boom!!

The massive alloy doors of the main base slammed shut, sealing all psychics outside.

"Huh...?"

Xu Jingming, left alone in the main hall, was stunned.

What's going on?

Why am I the only one left?

"Eva, has this ever happened before in the 9th Civilization Ruins?"

Xu Jingming quickly asked Eva.

But his earpiece remained silent—no response at all.

He checked the power button on his smart bracer—Eva was still powered on.

"Eva is being blocked." Xu Jingming's heart sank.

Ancient civilization ruins could harbor unknown dangers.

With Eva, the top-tier AI, he'd have guidance if trouble arose—but now he'd lost contact entirely.

Worse, ancient civilization language was extremely complex—he only recognized basic characters.

He couldn't fluently translate or comprehend the meaning of ancient texts.

Without Eva, he couldn't understand the ancient language.

"But judging from Eva's last translated message,

my SS-rank psychic ability likely triggered some mechanism in the ruins.

Logically, there shouldn't be any danger..."

Xu Jingming pondered, gazing toward the front of the hall.

The holographic sphere, since issuing the alarm, had remained motionless.

"Clearing complete. Soldier 5, display your psychic ability for final confirmation."

At that moment, the voice sounded again from the ceiling.

To Xu Jingming's surprise, this time it wasn't ancient language—it was Great Xia's native tongue.

Surprised, he no longer hesitated—he unleashed Doushen Thunder at full power!

Crackling—

The Concealment Technique had ceased. Brilliant golden lightning swirled around Xu Jingming.

He looked both noble and immensely powerful.

Zzzt—

A pale blue virtual beam shot down from the ceiling, meticulously scanning every inch of Xu Jingming.

Only then did the prompt continue:

"Scan complete. Confirmed as SS-rank psychic ability 'Doushen Thunder.' Main AI awakening in progress..."

Hum~~~

A mechanical sound echoed as the white sphere ahead began to change.

Its round shape stretched, gradually forming a human silhouette.

Only seconds later, it became the shape of a woman!

She wore a form-fitting white battle suit, tall and slender, with a perfectly proportioned figure.

Behind her, long green hair flowed past her slender waist, reaching down to her rounded hips.

"This is..." Looking at the woman's figure and features, Xu Jingming was momentarily stunned.

Why does she look so much like the adult Eva?

Just as he felt this was unbelievable,

the woman's bright eyes turned toward him, her red lips parting as a soft voice spoke:

"Greetings, noble Legendary-level ability user. I am the central AI of Test Site Nine. You may call me... Eva."
