My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

West of the capital, a temporary assessment battleground.

The "Ape" of an outer tribe, clad in chainmail, sat cross-legged.

The moment the cannons of the Sky-reaching Tower sounded, he leapt up and, in a thrice, tore the flag apart and ran toward the southeast corner.

In his memory, the off-road vehicle Chen Yu had been on was headed in that direction.

"Thump Thump Thump—"

His running speed wasn't fast, but his steps were extremely heavy, each one kicking up tall clouds of dust.

This was the "communication" method he and his companion had agreed upon beforehand.

Thus, he "raced" at a "turtle's pace" for over ten minutes until he suddenly sensed two "transcendent" energy fluctuations from the left front.

By their "shrill and brief" frequency, he immediately discerned that the two Transcendents were human.

His round eyes suddenly lit up, and he decisively adjusted his direction, hastening his pace.

A snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits.

He naturally hadn't heard this saying, but he understood the rationale behind it.

In such assessments, if two Transcendents were fighting, they likely had similar strength.

The winner, wounded.

The loser, severely injured.

And it wasn't impossible that with a "crack," they both perished together.

In that case, he could effortlessly earn 2 points...

However.

The two "transcendent" fluctuations ahead had only lasted a minute before they sequentially disappeared.

The "Ape" of the outer tribe sensed something was amiss, stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, then turned back in the direction towards the starting point of Chen Yu in his "memory."

One minute to resolve the battle.

It meant one of those two Transcendents must be extremely powerful.

His initial judgment was wrong.

His goal in participating in the human race's assessment was the arena competition.

Hence, unless necessary, he didn't want to engage with a difficult opponent in the preliminary round...

Just like that.

He ran for another three minutes.

Only when he heard movements behind him did he stop, turn back, and look around warily.

"Cough."

"Are you crazy? Playing in the dirt?"

Within the rolling dust kicked up by the "Ape," Chen Yu came running over, covering his mouth and nose, his expression ugly, cursing, "Didn't your mom ever teach you how to run properly?"

"My dad!" Seeing it was Chen Yu, the Ape of the outer tribe was startled, and the muscles on his exposed arms and legs bulged beneath the chainmail, "I— I was just looking for you, my dad!"

"Scram." Chen waved off the lingering dust forcefully, "I don't have a son like you."

"Crack Crack!"

The Ape of the outer tribe's muscles swelled again, causing the chainmail to "crack" as he made a large stride towards Chen Yu, yelling, "**! (Outer tribal language)"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the territory of the outer tribes, he didn't want to kill.

But since this "Chen Yu" dared to insult his kin in public, he must be executed.

Otherwise, how would the honor of his race flourish?

The joint-assessment of multiple races was not only a diplomatic act between races but also a real contest of armed forces...

"Body Refinement Secret Skill... a little over the third layer," Chen Yu squinted his eyes, quickly assessing the opponent's strength.

In the Transcendent hierarchy of humans, mastering one layer of Body Refinement Secret Skills, like the Defying Fate Skill, qualified one to participate in the graduation assessment.

If one reached the second layer of Body Refinement Secret Skill, they could easily graduate unless they actively courted death.

As for the "Three layered" Body Refinement Secret Skill level of this "outer tribe," it was enough for him to strut around the assessment field.

"But I'm at the fourth layer."

Looking around and making sure there were no bothersome live broadcast cameras, Chen Yu released his full power, spinning the "transcendent" source of energy in his Dantian to the limit.

He burst out with all his strength in an instant!

"Boom!"

It was like thunder exploding in the ear.

Chen Yu twisted his figure "strangely," turning into a serpent-like afterimage, moving at sonic speed towards the Ape of the outer tribe.

"!"

The pupils of the Ape of the outer tribe dilated suddenly, his furry face full of disbelief.

Humans and their tribe had different secret techniques and fields of cultivation.

And the level distinctions were vastly different too.

But the most basic concept of "higher and lower levels" was still comparable.

The intensity of the fluctuations displayed by this human far exceeded his own...

In the blink of an eye, halting his own momentum became impossible, so the Ape of the outer tribe gritted his steel teeth, extracted even more of his energy source with greater force, and brandished his fists.

Straining his eyes open, he tried to spot a strike in Chen Yu's "S-shaped" dodgy movements that would reveal his exact position in three-dimensional space for a killing blow!

"Ching—"

Man and ape rapidly intersected.

And separated just as quickly.

Sparks flew just at two points of contact...

"Uh."

The Ape of the outer tribe's arms trembled, he looked down to see his chainmail had been sliced through, along with his guts spilling out, and turned back in shock.

Chen Yu, whose body "stretched" over two meters long, meanwhile, remained completely unharmed, manipulating the joints, bones, muscles, and skin of his body to revert to an "upright" human form.

"What weapon... my dad?" The Ape of the outer tribe collapsed weakly, his body twitching, his eyes filled with blood vessels. Discover stories with empire

His chainmail was of specially made alloy.

How had it been cut through in one strike?

"Swoosh!"

Turning off the transmission of energy, Chen Yu twirled the now white "rapier" he held, smiling, "My sister's incisor."

"Unsolvable... incisor..."

"That's right."

"..."

The Ape of the outer tribe stared intently at Chen Yu, then after a moment, lay motionless, his eyes wide open in death.

Grasping "My sister's incisor," Chen Yu walked slowly to the body of the Ape of the outer tribe, cleaned the blade of Chen's incisor from any blood with the opponent's clothing, then put away the weapon and turned the body face up.
