Chapter 708 - 701: Racial Body Potential

Chapter 708: Chapter 701: Racial Body Potential

’That Demon actually lost?’

Hearing Lei Yi’s message, Nainte opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

So much had happened in such a short time. No doubt, by tomorrow, news of the Demon’s defeat would be all over Bernard City.

’Still, this is exactly the kind of thing he would do. With his strength, defeating the Demon doesn’t seem impossible.’

"Before your batch of candidates even arrived, it was widely accepted in Bernard City that the Demon was the strongest of the group. I never expected you to defeat him. Now, you’ll be the new strongest, and you’ll be on the radar of Bernard City’s upper echelons."

Nainte said to Zhou Yuanjue.

"Will this have any effect?"

Zhou Yuanjue said with a slight frown.

"Most likely, there won’t be any negative effects. For you, and for your entire civilization, this could actually be a good thing."

Nainte said.

"We’re lifeforms who haven’t even reached Type One. Would we really attract the attention of the higher-ups?"

Zhou Yuanjue asked in confusion.

"Haha, don’t underestimate your own worth. In terms of strength, your current impact on the True Land is negligible, but you’re at a critical stage that will affect all future evaluations of your potential."

"A true genius won’t be overlooked so easily. Besides, I’ve heard that because of the changes in the Law of Contact, a massive number of candidates are pouring into the various True Lands. To cultivate new talent in response, the major civilizations have apparently all taken corresponding measures. Here in the East Thirteen Districts, ’Primordial Star’ has supposedly relaxed its admission rules and quotas for this batch of candidates. You might have a chance to become one of them. That’s an incredibly rare opportunity. In the history of the East Thirteen Districts, no candidate from a Low-level Civilization has ever joined Primordial Star. To receive its resources starting from the candidate stage is a privilege only the powerful families of the major civilizations in the East Thirteen Districts are entitled to."

Nainte said in a low voice.

’Primordial Star, huh?’

Zhou Yuanjue narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen an introduction to this organization in the relevant orientation materials.

The Primordial Star Organization was essentially an academy-like organization in the East Thirteen Districts. It didn’t belong to any single civilization and was composed of powerful individuals from multiple civilizations. In theory, it accepted powerful individuals from any civilization, and its purpose was to cultivate the most powerful geniuses.

In fact, many of the powerful leaders within the five major civilizations of the East Thirteen Districts today had come from Primordial Star.

This alone spoke to the organization’s influence throughout the entire East Thirteen Districts.

However, Primordial Star’s admission criteria were extremely harsh. It was next to impossible for someone from a Low-level Civilization to get in, let alone someone at the candidate level.

In terms of resources, education, and heritage, the Descendants of powerful families from High-level Civilizations were far stronger at this stage than beings from Low-level Civilizations.

’If it’s Primordial Star, though, I’m willing to give it a shot.’

’After all, that’s where the best resources and the most rivals are.’

"Let’s go. Your test data will probably reach the relevant higher-ups by tomorrow. When that happens, someone will naturally come to contact you."

Nainte said.

Zhou Yuanjue nodded, and then the group left the Dream Simulation Battlefield.

...

...

「The next morning.」

「Bernard City, Jiaoxing Institute.」

Modin and Si Enli were in a pristine white office, a screen of light floating before them, seemingly some kind of high-end computer.

DING!!

Just then, a crisp notification sound came from the light screen in front of them. Then, a massive amount of data instantly flashed onto the screen.

"The latest analysis data is in."

Modin and Si Enli, who had been staring at the light screen while waiting, perked up and immediately looked at the screen.

"From the latest data, filter for the profile of the individual with the highest overall power."

Modin said calmly to the light screen.

The screen received the command, and the data on it immediately began to rapidly overlap and scroll. It stopped a moment later.

A detailed data sheet appeared before Modin and Si Enli.

On this data sheet, they saw a 3D simulated image of Zhou Yuanjue’s body from when he took the test. It looked quite similar to what they had seen in the Dream Simulation System.

"This should be him."

The two exchanged a pleased glance and immediately looked at the rest of the file.

Name: Zhou Yuanjue

Origin: Earth Civilization (Low-Potential Civilization Planet)

Life Level: Candidate

Essence Transformation Level: 45%

Racial Physical Potential Level: Low

...

The test and analysis data for Zhou Yuanjue was displayed before them.

"This guy actually comes from a civilization with low potential?"

"A forty-five percent Essence Transformation Level. No wonder he could suppress and defeat the Demon in a direct confrontation."

"I never expected this. To think there was actually someone in this batch of candidates stronger than the Demon."

Modin remarked with a sigh.

"A forty-five percent Essence Transformation Level, and from a low-potential civilization... This means this person’s comprehension is extraordinary. But, what a pity..."

Si Enli lamented, her gaze falling on one particular metric among the data points.

Racial Physical Potential Level: Mid-Low.

Modin, too, fell silent when he saw this entry.

The so-called racial physical potential determines the upper limit of a lifeform’s abilities during the candidate stage.

Essence Transformation, even with incomparable comprehension, was not without its limits.

This limit is tied to a race’s physical potential.

And a race’s physical potential is, in turn, directly related to the planet on which the individual lifeform was born.

Generally speaking, the harsher the environment of the birth planet and the more severe the conditions for survival, the higher the racial physical potential tends to be.

Demon Debaka is a prime example. His race is born at a level equivalent to a human’s Saint Awakening, and they naturally mature into the King Level.

But the environment on Earth is simply too comfortable for humans. This means the physical limits of its lifeforms aren’t particularly high, which is why Earth was originally assessed as a low-potential planet.

As for High-level Civilizations, their racial physical limits also tend to be higher, thanks to generations of optimizing their life essence.

"Racial physical potential isn’t set in stone; it’s just a reference point. The reason it’s even a concept is that under the old Law of Contact, beings from Low-level Civilizations could typically only complete their transformation to Type One on their own home worlds. Any who might have had the potential to break through their limits just faded into obscurity because they couldn’t get proper cultivation. I’ve always felt that this so-called ’racial physical potential’ assessment is a fallacy."

Modin said.

"It seems you have high hopes for this little guy."

Si Enli said.

"Of course. No matter what, he’s more than qualified to be one of the seeds, isn’t he?"

"I’ll have someone contact him immediately."

Modin said with a smile.
