Chapter 53: Combat Power Glasses

President Liao is the president of the Dongning City Evolver Association.

Lin Yuan had met him a few times, and they got along quite well.

Click to answer.

President Liao's hologram appeared before Lin Yuan.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder how you have considered the matter from last time?"

President Liao asked with a smile.

"The matter from last time…"

Lin Yuan remembered.

During the Lin family banquet, President Liao, the president of the Evolver Association, had visited in person, hoping that Lin Yuan could represent Dongning City in the Canglan Star tournament.

As for the reward—

As long as Lin Yuan could squeeze into the top five thousand of the Canglan Star tournament, the Dongning City Evolver Association would offer fifty million as a reward.

Of course, what Lin Yuan truly valued was not this fifty million.

Rather, it was the rewards given by the Canglan Star authorities for squeezing into the top three thousand, or even the top one thousand and five hundred.

There were many kinds of these rewards.

Cash was actually of the lowest value.

Various Universe spiritual objects.

Numerous evolution paths.

Even treasures of alien races.

All of them were included.

In addition, exchanging blows with other Evolvers.

For Lin Yuan, it was also a good thing; relying on his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he could peek into the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent's evolution path.

Although it was far less direct than directly reading an evolution path,

quantity could make up for insufficient quality.

Most importantly, the tournament was held in the Virtual World.

This meant that Lin Yuan could obtain the aforementioned benefits without taking any risks or even traveling.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"That's great."

President Liao felt a weight lift from his heart.

Compared to other Evolvers, Lin Yuan was still a Second-Class Citizen.

The Evolver Association could indeed manage Evolvers, but it could not control high-Rank citizens.

Therefore, he was exceptionally polite to Lin Yuan, far gentler than he was to other first stage, twelfth level Evolvers.

"Right."

"If Mr. Lin has time, could you come to the Association tomorrow?"

"There are three other Evolvers who will participate in the tournament with Mr. Lin."

"You can get familiar with each other beforehand. After all, the tournament includes team matches, and cooperation will be needed then."

President Liao said cautiously.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan said with a nod.

Since becoming an Evolver until now, the number of other Evolvers Lin Yuan had seen could be counted on one hand.

Now that there was an opportunity to contact other Evolvers, he naturally wouldn't let it go. Perhaps he could fleece something out of them with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability.

Those selected by President Liao to participate in the tournament were probably all first stage, twelfth level Evolvers.

For Evolvers at this level, the evolution paths they cultivated were basically not simple.

After finishing his conversation with President Liao,

Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself in comprehending the 'Primal Force Evolution Path'.

Lin Yuan was comprehending the Primal Force Evolution Path, not cultivating the Primal Force Evolution Path.

Using Taiji, he incorporated the Primal Force Evolution Path into it, making it a part of Lin Yuan's martial arts.

This was what Lin Yuan was doing now.

Comprehending other evolution paths—indeed some Evolvers would do that, but directly integrating an entire evolutionary system like Lin Yuan did—

sounded truly shocking.

But Lin Yuan was very confident about this. First, Taiji was quite compatible with Universe Primal Force.

Second, with the exaggerated enlightenment efficiency of Heaven-Defying martial arts, accomplishing this goal was merely a matter of time.

Whether it was a few months,

or one or two years.

The next day.

Lin Yuan finished a night of Cultivation and got up, intending to head to the Evolver Association.

Ordinary citizens who didn't sleep for a night might lack spirit the next day.

But for a quasi-third-Rank Evolver like Lin Yuan, there were basically no issues. With Taiji, Yin and Yang endlessly generating each other, it was hard to have a time when he was in a poor state.

No matter how great the consumption, running the Yin and Yang a few cycles could recover it.

"Mr. Lin."

Seeing Lin Yuan, the security guards of the Shuiyue Community immediately bowed respectfully.

People able to live in this community were basically either rich or noble.

Furthermore, back when Lin Yuan purchased his residence in this community, many people saw the utterly respectful appearance of Property Manager Wang.

Even if they didn't know what identity Lin Yuan had, they clearly knew he was far from someone people like them could despise or neglect.

Swish.

Lin Yuan walked out of the Shuiyue Community.

A pitch-black, streamlined hover car was parked by the roadside.

It was precisely the "exclusive car" of the Evolver Association.

It had been waiting outside the Shuiyue Community since early morning.

"Please come in, Mr. Lin."

A tall man dressed in black walked down.

He respectfully opened the car door for Lin Yuan.

With current science and technology, unmanned driving had long matured.

But when receiving important guests, there were still relatively more human drivers.

After all, compared to cold intelligence, getting along with a living person was more pleasant.

Evolver Association.

Twenty-third floor.

Three figures were sitting casually.

"I don't know what's wrong with President Liao. For this tournament, he actually invited someone of unknown background—"

The figure on the left said casually, his tone obviously somewhat dissatisfied.

His name was Cao Rong, with good evolution talent, and he was now a first stage, twelfth level Evolver.

He had also participated in past tournaments a few times; although he hadn't achieved any good rankings, his performances were all decent.

Originally, the four Evolvers representing Dongning City in the tournament all knew and were familiar with each other.

It was just that for this session of the tournament, President Liao intervened, forcibly replacing one of them and newly inviting an Evolver to participate in the tournament with the three of them.

Cao Rong knew President Liao's intention. The four of them had performed poorly in the past few sessions, and he wanted to improve the tournament results by replacing members.

However, casually replacing them with an unfamiliar member might cause the final results to drop instead of rise.

"Since President Liao values him, he must indeed have some capability."

The figure on the right hesitated for a moment and spoke.

This figure was named Lu Xiguang, a Bloodline Evolver, and was now also a first stage, twelfth level Evolver.

"Hmph."

Cao Rong let out a cold snort.

Then he looked at the figure sitting in the center.

This was also the strongest Evolver among the three of them.

"Later, Cao Rong, you make a move and test his bottom line."

Zong Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly spoke.

In Dongning City, among the Evolvers meeting the conditions to participate in the tournament, Zong Bai was undoubtedly the strongest.

In past tournaments, Zong Bai performed well, once almost breaking into the top five thousand.

"No problem."

Cao Rong immediately became excited.

After chatting about the newly joined member, the few of them began to talk about their own matters.

"Returning from Heiwu Star this time, I brought back a good thing."

Cao Rong took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and introduced them with slight complacency: "These glasses are the latest research achievement of Heiwu Star."

"They can capture trace amounts of information and then give a rough evaluation in terms of combat power description."

"Oh?"

Lu Xiguang looked curious.

Zong Bai also looked over.

"Hehe, I'll show you."

Cao Rong put on the black-rimmed glasses and immediately looked at Lu Xiguang.

"Mhm, Xiguang's combat power is nine hundred eighty-six, belonging to the upper-middle level of the first stage, twelfth level."

Cao Rong pressed the side of the glasses and said.

"The combat power of the first stage, twelfth level is roughly between eight hundred and eleven hundred."

"My combat power is one thousand and three, a bit stronger than you, Xiguang."

Cao Rong said quite smugly.

"Check my combat power."

Zong Bai couldn't help speaking up.

"Big Brother Zong, your combat power—hiss, it actually reaches one thousand and ninety-eight, almost approaching the first stage limit."

Wearing the glasses, Cao Rong looked at Zong Bai and said with slight amazement.

He knew Zong Bai's strength was the strongest among the three of them, but he hadn't expected it to be strong to this extent.

"It seems quite accurate."

Zong Bai nodded slightly and gave a evaluation.

Some time ago, he had advanced another step on his evolution path, truly approaching the first stage limit.

He hadn't told anyone about this matter, yet Cao Rong saw it now; obviously, these glasses were not simple.

"What is the observation upper limit of these glasses?"

Zong Bai suddenly asked.

"Ordinary second-Rank Evolvers should be able to be observed."

Cao Rong replied.

Because it was the latest product, subsequent functions were still under development, and currently these glasses still had many shortcomings.

"Second-Rank is also enough."

Lu Xiguang remarked with emotion.

There wasn't even a single true second-Rank Evolver in the entire Dongning City; these glasses could already be considered very practical.

"That goes without saying."

Cao Rong's tone was smug.

In order to buy these glasses, he had paid quite a price.

Now being able to show off in front of friends, he was naturally extremely happy.

Just at this moment.

The elevator door slowly opened.

Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the other three immediately stopped talking.

"That person should be here."

Cao Rong immediately felt confident in his heart.

President Liao had made an appointment with them; it was probably about now.

"Rest assured, Big Brother Zong."

Cao Rong stepped forward, not forgetting to nod and signal to Zong Bai.

Soon.

A young man walked out of the elevator.

"Is this the person recommended by President Liao?"

Lu Xiguang looked him over carefully.

"Hm?"

Lu Xiguang watched for a while,

suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

Why hasn't Cao Rong spoken until now?

Wasn't he going to test that person's bottom line?

Zong Bai beside him was also somewhat puzzled.

The two of them subconsciously looked toward Cao Rong.

They saw Cao Rong frozen in place. If one observed carefully, they would find that cold sweat was continuously oozing from his forehead.

Even his legs were trembling faintly.

"Th-th-this—"

Cao Rong held the glasses with his right hand, his mind in complete turmoil.

At this moment, in his vision,

there were only blood-red warning prompts presented by the glasses.

[Extremely dangerous individual detected]

[Combat power: 2,000]

[Combat power: 3,000]

[Combat power: 5,000]

[Combat power: 9,000]

Boom.

The black-rimmed glasses Cao Rong was wearing directly exploded.

It's the end of the month, begging for a wave of monthly votes~~~

If monthly votes aren't cast now, they'll expire~~~
