  For three days, Lin Feng had been immersed in the simulated training room. Although the realism was limited, it still had some effect on training his neural responses and combat experience. Lin Feng could now take down four level-six ferocious beasts or infected alone and kill them. This was because the room's space was limited; otherwise, he could have taken down two more.

  In the past three days, many young high-level Evolvers have returned, presumably all for the monthly Academy mission. Although the mission is not mandatory, the reward is experience points, so naturally there are people willing to do it.

  Li Pingping's husband also returned yesterday. He is a 22-23 year old level 7 evolutionist, named Xiao Pang, who is generous and enthusiastic. Under Li Pingping's leadership, he came to visit the neighbors.

  "Potential Tower, since the founding of Elite Academy, in twenty-three years, only one person has passed the tenth floor, and that is Fei Family's direct descendant, who ranks second among the five major families, an absolute genius."

  Li Pingping's husband Xiao Pang sighed when talking about the potential tower. At that time, their batch of people with the highest potential only reached the seventh floor, and according to him, this was already a good result in the new recruits' training over the years.

  Floors 1-3 have four Level 4 Savage Beasts, with one on the first floor, two on the second and four on the third. Floors 4-6 have the same number of Level 5 Savage Beasts. From the seventh to the ninth floors are all Level 6 Savage Beasts, while the tenth floor has a Level 7 Savage Beast.

  There are no rules, just kill the ferocious beast to open the ascending gate and enter a higher level. If you can't get through, you can ask the instructor for help, and the training will end.

  Xiao Pang told Lin Feng about the information he knew and then left under Lin Feng's escort. He also needed to prepare for tomorrow's task.

  That night, Lin Feng received a system task. As he had expected, this task was also related to his progress in the real world.

  Task 1: Clear the Potential Tower. Deadline, latest this period. Requirement, clear at least four floors of the Potential Tower. Reward, one random draw immediately.

  Task 2: Challenge the Limit. Time limit, none. Requirement, try your best to pass all potential tower layers. Reward: Grand Prize qualification opened. (Note: The higher the tower layer passed, the larger the grand prize area opened.)

  ……

  September 1st, sunny.

  On the vast Task Square, elite students came from all directions, with most of them appearing in groups of six, which is the most common team size.

  Lin Feng stood on the mission square, looking at the mission screens around him. Unlike the missions posted in Linjiang Base City, there were very few A-level or lower missions here. Most of them were S-level or SS-level missions, and some were even SSS-level, the highest level of missions. Although such tasks were extremely rare, the reward points for experience were substantial.

  On the other side of the square is a huge display screen, on which different video images are played, and at the top of the screen is a text introduction to these images.

  "Dokdo Adventure"

  Jungle Pursuit

  Crime Crackdown

  Hospital of Horrors

  ‘……’

  Lin Feng walked to the last screen location, on which was written 'Clearing Potential Tower' (New Disciple Task).

  The scenes shown on this row of screens are all from places I've been to before.

  Lin Feng.

  A familiar female voice came from behind. Lin Feng turned his head and revealed a faint smile.

  "Yes, Loulan."

  Lou Lan pouted her small nose and said fiercely: "Hey! Shouldn't you call me older sister?"

  Although she had been trying very hard to look fierce, unfortunately, the small tiger tooth peeked out as soon as her mouth moved, adding a few points of cuteness, making it impossible for people to feel intimidated.

  Ignoring what she said, Lin Feng smiled and asked: "What about your teammates?"

  Just now when he turned back, he noticed that there were already seven stars on Lou Lan's badge of honor on his chest.

  Lou Lan's smile faded, and she said with some sadness: "The instructor said that my level is too different from theirs, it's hard to work together on a mission, so they reassigned me to a new team. We were supposed to meet here today. Oh, the instructor has arrived."

  Following the direction pointed out by Loulan, Lin Feng saw a group of six people walking towards him, with Lei Ming, the instructor, leading the way.

  Behind him were five men in their twenties, all of whom were seventh-level Evolvers, a strength that was among the best even at the Elite Academy.

  "Hello, instructor." Lou Lan asked in a crisp tone.

  "Officer." Lin Feng also nodded in greeting.

  Lei Meng nodded at the two of them and said to Lou Lan, "Lou Lan, this is our new teammate. They are all people from Qing Yi Xuan. I won't introduce them again. From now on, we'll work together to complete tasks. As the team leader, you should listen to other teammates' opinions more often, got it?"

  "Yes, sir."

  Lou Lan smiled and replied, "These people are all talents nurtured by the Lou family at a great cost. They're our own people, so it won't be too difficult to work together."

  After handing over the person, Lei Meng turned his head and said to Lin Feng: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Potential Tower."

  Lin Feng nodded and followed Lei Meng towards the Potential Tower.

  Loulan shouted loudly from behind: "Lin Feng, come on! If you can't pass the fourth floor, don't say you're a person of Qingyixuan!"

  Lin Feng waved his hand without looking back, but in his heart he thought when would he become a person of great righteousness and integrity. Besides, couldn't even pass the fourth floor? Was he really so incompetent?

  ……

  Arriving in front of the Potential Tower, Lin Feng finally realized just how massive this building was.

  The octagonal pagoda has a total of ten layers, with the base slightly wider and the top slightly narrower. However, even the narrowest top layer has a diameter of over one kilometer, and the bottom layer is about 1,600 meters around.

  In front of the Potential Tower was a square that was neither big nor small, and at this time the square was already packed with people. Lin Feng counted them, and there were more than 40 new students, as well as their accompanying recommending officers who had come to participate in the trial.

  "Hmm. So many people, but only five instructors have been awarded military ranks?" Lin Feng took a glance and found that among the more than 40 instructors, only five had the honor badge with a "hook" on it, four men and one woman, except for Lei Ming, the other four were all "one hook".

  After breaking through the 7th level, the Evolver is called an Instructor. Instructors are divided into three levels: Lower-level Instructor, Mid-level Instructor, and Upper-level Instructor.

  However, between instructors and instructors, the gap in strength is often huge due to various reasons such as skills. Just like Lin Feng, although he was also a fourth-level evolutionist, if his true strength were to be evaluated, it would probably reach at least the level of a sixth-level evolutionist, which is far beyond that of an ordinary fourth-level evolutionist.

  So among evolved officers, the standard for evaluating strength is often not rank but military rank.

  Entering the battlefield, killing enemies and making achievements, only after obtaining a certain amount of merit can one exchange it for military rank. Among the more than 30 instructors on site, only five have military ranks, and among them, only Lei Meng has a second-level military rank, which shows that military ranks are extremely hard to come by.

  "Thunderbolt."

  A lean man stepped forward and shouted respectfully. Behind him was also a fourth-level evolution student.

  "Lui Hua, this kid's luck isn't bad, and he's run into another good seedling." Lei Meng shot a glance at the disciple behind him, smiling in response.

  A second-class military rank, representing strong and powerful forces. The appearance of Lei Meng attracted many people's attention, and one after another came to greet him, while also observing Lin Feng who followed Lei Meng.

  "Lei Jiao rarely brings disciples, I remember the last time was two years ago, it was that genius girl from the Lou family, this time he actually brought an unknown newcomer?"

  "In fact, Lei Jiao has only brought three students in total. Among them, Li Hua and Li Yang have already become instructors. Lou's 16-year-old daughter has reached level seven and is expected to be promoted to instructor soon. The new student he brought this time may not be particularly exceptional, but it's clear that they won't be ordinary either."

  "Maybe this time we can get a high-potential student, but it's hard to say how far he can go."

  "I estimate at least seven stories, possibly even higher..."

  The people around were not too far away, although they were all whispering in low voices, but with Lin Feng's evolved hearing, he could still hear some things.

  "How about it? How many floors do you think you can rush up to?" Lei Meng suddenly asked as they waited.

  Lin Feng thought for a moment and said conservatively: "The seventh floor should be no problem."

  His eyebrow twitched and he asked: "Is it through the seventh layer or into the seventh layer?"

  "Pass."

  Lin Feng answered very affirmatively.

  In fact, Lin Feng felt that he had the ability to break through to the ninth level. After all, four sixth-level fierce beasts were not invincible for him. However, he was worried about the 'Attached Dragon Seven Teams' and didn't know whether he should hide some of his strength and keep some trump cards in reserve.

  Lei Meng seemed to have read Lin Feng's mind and reminded him, "Whatever you do, don't hold back your strength. Even if it means cheating, try to get the best results possible. This will have a huge impact on resource allocation in the academy later on."

  "With great potential, more resources are obtained, the upgrade speed is faster, and then more resource rewards are obtained, eventually forming a virtuous circle. With low potential, fewer resources are obtained, it's pitiful, wanting to upgrade is very difficult, even requiring desperate efforts, ultimately resulting in a vicious cycle, which is also very difficult to reverse."

  "So, the first trial is very important and relates to future achievements. Compared to that, revealing one's true strength is nothing. Once you advance, your strength will increase greatly, and at that time, there will naturally be new trump cards."

  Lin Feng's heart moved, feeling very reasonable, the power of the evolutionist often advances by leaps and bounds, one promotion can increase several times the strength, no need to worry about exposing his true strength.

  Moreover, Lin Feng felt that the people of 'Longmen' could not have known that they were the ones who killed several members of the 'Furious Dragon Seven', so he didn't need to be so cautious.
