The bugs in this damn place are just too cunning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young faces, once high-spirited and brimming with pride and confidence, were now clouded by thick layers of dejection and defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They silently stared at their Subspace Networks, at the single, cold, glaring red word displayed there: Failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they slowly rose to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned, casting a complex glance—a mixture of envy and jealousy—at the \"victors\" who remained in their seats, their faces either calm or overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they turned away. Dragging their feet, like a defeated army, they silently merged into the crowd and headed toward the designated exits of the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no crying, no complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the top geniuses from their respective planets, they clung to the last vestiges of their pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loss was a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, their desolate silhouettes, their clenched fists, and their tightly bitten lips all spoke of a silent truth: this failure would become a scar they would carry for the rest of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng quietly watched this stunning scene unfold before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast crowd ebbed away like a receding tide, wave after wave pouring out of the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Tie Mu, Lei Meng, and the teammates who had fought alongside them also stood up in silence, watching these former competitors depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew full well that if their luck had been just a little worse, if their strength had been just a fraction less, they could have easily been among the ranks of that vast, defeated army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the once-packed plaza became much more spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last of the eliminated candidates had vanished through the exit and the plaza’s quarantine shields rose once more, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the vast plaza, less than half of the original number of people remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng did a quick mental calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the original million prodigies, only about four hundred thousand were still left on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just six short months, the first two combat assessments alone had eliminated nearly six hundred thousand geniuses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elimination rate of three-fifths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number settled like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on the heart of every survivor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to remember that every single person standing here was at least a General Star-level figure from their home planet, the cream of the crop, one in hundreds of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, this group of heaven’s chosen were cut down like wheat, falling in swathes before they even crossed the threshold of Cannan Star Martial Arts University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two assessment tasks were, as expected, nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock of the terrifying elimination rate, the voice of a volunteer Martial Artist rang out, pulling their thoughts back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, everyone, on successfully passing the most difficult combat screening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, we will proceed to the third assessment: the Physical Potential Test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All candidates, please follow the light markers on the ground and enter the bio-detection pods ahead in an orderly fashion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice faded, tens of thousands of futuristic, white, cocoon-like bio-detection pods slowly rose from the ground at the front of the plaza.

Of course, factors like opportunities, resources, and combat techniques all had to be taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with stronger combat techniques and more resources would advance faster, perhaps reaching the Planet-level Life Form stage in just a few hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with fewer resources, or who were just unlucky, might take several thousand years to reach the Planet-level Life Form stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The average time was about a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the more than four hundred thousand geniuses who had survived the first two brutal rounds of screening, this standard posed almost no difficulty at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that this round was less of a \"screening\" and more of a \"baseline assessment,\" designed to give the instructors a more direct understanding of the overall quality of this year’s student cohort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.
