Chapter 142

"Everything depends on what ranking you can ultimately achieve!"

The Shenzhou Academy's Evolutionist Department is really too weak.

If……

Xu Zi'an can really get a top-ten ranking in this Youth Evolutionist Competition.

The overall ranking of Shenzhou Academy.

Might even rise several places because of Xu Zi'an!

And Xu Zi'an.

Needless to say.

Even without rewards.

He would still participate in the Youth Evolutionist Competition.

Mainly because the rewards are too generous and too attractive!

Not to mention he also plans to take the second-grade evolutionist examination.

It just so happens that the competition and the examination are happening together.

Entering the second grade.

The income will be far from what it is now.

Besides, there are still three months left.

It's still early.

What he needs to do now.

Is to evolve the two Brilliants.

To frigates as quickly as possible!

And then truly enjoy the infinite scenery of the universe!

And then truly behold the infinite scenery of the universe!

In the days that followed.

Xu Zi'an spent every day feeling extremely fulfilled.

Cultivating heavenly treasures to temper his body.

Converting biological energy.

Star battle simulations.

Evolution simulations.

Studying at school.

He didn't even have enough time.

For combat simulations.

He had to set them aside for the time being.

Unsurprisingly.

The Steel-Bone Grass and Star-Gazing Flower.

Broke through to the third grade after reaching a hundred years of age.

Their vitality then entered a period of direct decline.

He couldn't even inject more wealth points to maintain them.

This was normal.

Some heavenly treasures are inherently of a lower tier.

It does not mean that any heavenly treasure can grow indefinitely.

The maximum grade for Steel-Bone Grass and Star-Gazing Flower is third grade.

They cannot go any higher.

But that was enough.

The current second-grade Steel-Bone Grass and Star-Gazing Flower are still quite effective, so he continued using them.

Furthermore, there were the heavenly treasures that the special recruit 'lost' to him—

In any case, Xu Zi'an considered that the other party had indeed lost them to him.

The heavenly treasures he lost.

Were of a slightly better quality.

Reaching up to the fourth grade.

Enough for him to consume for a long time to come without worrying about a lack of heavenly treasures to temper his body.

Nowadays, Xu Zi'an didn't even know how strong his physical fitness was.

Anyway...

Some time ago, in a combat simulation, Xu Zi'an had killed a Bug-Man race Battle Master level powerhouse!

The kind that is at the level of an assault ship captain!

And an intermediate one at that.

Intermediate...

Meaning between the fourth and sixth grade of the Battle Master realm.

He wasn't sure of the exact grade, only that it was roughly an intermediate Battle Master.

The most obvious sign of his physical strengthening was that the amount of biological energy he could withstand daily was slowly increasing!

A month had passed now.

He could increase his biological energy by 23 points every day.

And just today.

Xu Zi'an.

Had completed the evolution of two Cuitan-class world reconnaissance ships!

One of them was naturally completed on Cuitan Island.

The other one.

He jumped directly to Yaochi Star and found a private, enclosed starship factory to carry out the evolution.

And they were evolved simultaneously.

Just for the intermediate evolution, the wealth points Xu Zi'an spent jumping back and forth reached 1300 points!

However.

For the sake of stability, Xu Zi'an would never feel stingy about money that needed to be spent.

The maximum value for a tenth-grade warrior is 970 biological energy points.

And Xu Zi'an...

Was clearly at a terrifying 1940 points.

Xu Zi'an's biological energy had now reached a shocking 1620 points.

It was only 320 points away from 1940.

At Xu Zi'an's current rate of biological energy conversion...

It would probably only take about twelve or thirteen days.

To reach the maximum value for a tenth-grade warrior!

And it would be a tenth-grade warrior in the true sense, unprecedented in history!

You have to know...

Xu Zi'an's current biological energy points.

Had even exceeded the level of a second-tier frigate captain!

It was hard to imagine.

Once his Cuitan evolved to the frigate level.

His combat power.

Would reach a terrifying degree.

Previously, Xu Zi'an estimated that once he became a frigate captain, he could at least survive in front of an assault ship.

But now...

Even if Xu Zi'an hadn't become a frigate captain yet.

He had enough confidence.

Once he became a frigate captain.

He wouldn't just survive in front of one; he could blow it up!!!

He wouldn't dare speak for high-level ones.

He couldn't 100% guarantee it against those who had truly come off the battlefield.

But at least for low-level and intermediate assault ships that hadn't seen real combat.

He would blow up every single one that came his way!

So starting today.

Xu Zi'an had one more task.

And that was to start preparing for the Cuitan's evolution into a frigate.

After all, he would reach the maximum value in at most half a month.

The blood in Xu Zi'an's veins, eager to go out and adventure, was already boiling.

Deep down, he had always been a person who loved excitement.

What's more...

His evolution points were gone again, damn it!!!

Once the two Cuitans evolved into frigates.

He would only have the very last bit left to save his life!

Evolving from a reconnaissance ship to a frigate.

Is an evolution in the true sense.

It is also an evolution that brings about massive changes from the inside out.

There were no surprises.

Xu Zi'an's frigate.

Would inevitably be the extreme length of 269.9 meters.

The length of a frigate.

Is between 140 meters and 269.9 meters.

One can choose the base data for their frigate's evolution based on personal strength and needs.

Generally speaking.

Even those top geniuses who evolve from the ninth rank to a frigate.

Most would not choose the extreme length of 269.9 meters.

It's not that they lack biological energy; the maximum state of a ninth-grade warrior breaking through to a first-grade battle general.

Is actually enough.

But!

Without a doubt, their sustained combat capability would definitely not last long.

Most importantly.

The closer a starship is to its extreme length, the higher the failure rate of evolution!

The failure rate for the extreme length is even ninety percent higher than that of a medium-length evolution!

And this is one of the main reasons why those biological ship captains generally do not choose the extreme length when undergoing major evolutions.

Unless...

It's the tenth rank!

Only at the tenth rank does the failure rate for extreme-length evolution equal that of a normal length.

But how many in the entire Earth Federation have broken through at the tenth rank?

Few, pitifully few.

So few that most people even ignore the existence of the tenth-rank peak level within each grade.

Ordinary people, seventh-rank evolution.

Geniuses, eighth-rank evolution.

Top geniuses, ninth-rank evolution!

Xu Zi'an.

Is equivalent to a double tenth-rank evolution.

Sustained combat power?

No one at the same level can compare to him.

Failure rate?

Not to mention, he has the evolution simulation.

Failure does not exist!

However.

Xu Zi'an wanted the extreme length, width, and height for his frigate evolution.

There really weren't any suitable keels and hulls on the market.

The keel is the foundation of the house, and the hull is the frame!

This determines the base data for the starship's length, width, and height.

Group companies like the Universe Technology Group and the Mechanical Empire do have keels and hulls with extreme dimensions.

But they aren't the best.

Because very, very few people buy keels and hulls with extreme dimensions.

This led to these two companies not investing much research energy into keels and hulls of these parameters.

At least compared to the keels and hulls of other sizes in their companies.

The keels and hulls with extreme dimensions.

Are actually a bit inferior.

Therefore, after making many choices.

Xu Zi'an.

Finally decided to set his target on the scale of the entire universe!

After extremely detailed screening.

For the keel.

Xu Zi'an decided to use a type of starship keel unique to the Giant Star Alien race.

The Giant Star Alien race.

Is one of the top groups among the Alien races.

And also one of the main groups of the Alien races.

Main group... means the same as the orthodox human race of the Universal Human Federation.

The Alien race is a force composed of multiple main groups and a massive number of servant groups.

The Giant Star Alien race is one of the main groups.

Their characteristics are: big! Thick! Sturdy!

This doesn't just refer to their starships, but the Giant Star Aliens themselves!

They are generally three to four meters tall.

Their preferences are also the bigger, the sturdier, and the thicker, the better.

Their starships are naturally the same.

All Giant Star Alien starships have extreme length, width, and height!

And they are the kind that won't evolve unless it's to the extreme length, width, and height!

Xu Zi'an.

Had his eye on their frigate keel.

Absolute extreme length, width, and height.
