Chapter 274: The Eternal Evaluator

Two hours later, the Department of Education announced a shocking message that rocked the entire Blue Sea Base City.

Major television stations across the base city also reported the Department of Education's announcement.

One week from now, Jiang Li's strength will be reviewed.

The method of review will be to face sequential challenges from all other transmigrants who participated in the First Transmigration Dungeon.

Moreover, the requirements for Jiang Li are nearly brutal: he must not wear any equipment, must not use special items, and must accept free challenges from all transmigrants.

As soon as the news broke, there was an uproar.

Streets, alleys, households, and news media all talked about this.

Simultaneously, because of this incident, everyone dug up an event that had occurred many years ago.

Many years ago.

The strongest human—someone who had cleared the Epic-level First Transmigration Dungeon—faced widespread skepticism.

But after investigations across all fronts, no evidence of cheating was found, so the Department of Education at the time devised the very method now used to review Jiang Li.

They had made the strongest among that legendary group remove all equipment and face challenges from all transmigrants.

The result? The human who cleared the Epic-level dungeon barely scraped through, winning by a hair.

And now—this same review method is being applied to Jiang Li—and no one believes Jiang Li can succeed.

Because the person who cleared the Epic-level dungeon—or rather, that group of legendary figures—were all Five-Star Classers, while Jiang Li? He's merely a One-Star Warrior.

"Hahaha."

In a certain bar, a group celebrated their successful transmigration.

"Jiang Li is done for. I've got insider info—he actually has a full set of divine gear. If he wore that gear, we might not even be his match."

"But—if he takes off that gear, what is he? What do you say he is? Just a One-Star Warrior barely stronger than an ordinary person."

"A One-Star Warrior who topped the college entrance exam? That's a world miracle."

"The Department of Education's announcement will spread to other cities within two days. I bet there'll be high-level transmigrant specialists from other cities on review day. I guarantee Jiang Li won't survive three rounds."

"Don't talk like that—Jiang Chen was a super-genius student even before transmigration. His overall strength surpassed even Li Mengying, the current Four-Star Freeze Magic Mage."

"Get real. Star rank is the limit—each level-up grants different attribute points depending on star tier. The higher the tier, the wider the gap."

"Right now Jiang Li can still put up a fight, but once he hits level forty or fifty, even his divine gear won't let him compete with high-star Classers."

The impact of this incident was enormous.

It even affected university admissions departments.

Originally, these admissions officers had wanted to recruit Jiang Li, since he was the college entrance exam top scorer.

But after this incident, all these schools began to hesitate.

Families of Two-Star and Three-Star Classers began encouraging their children to humiliate Jiang Li on review day.

They had a hunch: no matter Jiang Li's actual strength, if their children could make him look foolish that day, it would catch the eye of university admissions officers.

Meanwhile—

Some who had completed the transmigration task began choosing their Class transmigration paths.

What is Class transmigration? It's the awakening of a Class in high school, starting at level one.

What is transmigration? Transmigration means starting over.

A level-ten transmigrant who completes the level-ten transmigration dungeon gains a new Class choice. After selecting a Class, their level resets to one, and they must level up again—but transmigrants gain more attribute points per level than before, and the extra points vary by star tier.

After a First Transmigration transmigrant levels back up to ten, they can no longer enter the First Transmigration Dungeon; they must wait until level thirty to enter the Second Transmigration Dungeon.

In Jiang Li's room.

Jiang Li stared blankly at the golden pendant in his hand.

He examined the Five Elements Crystal he had obtained after slaying the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King.

【Item: Five Elements Crystal.】

【Function: Unidentified (the identification result might be surprising).】
