Global Deities: My SSS-Rank Talent Lets Me Evolve Everything

Chapter 175: Ranked Number One

Lu Chengyuan smiled faintly, but his tone was completely impolite: “Han Wuji, with your status, I’m afraid it’s not enough. Stop playing your little schemes here.”

“This kid’s ranking on the Primordial Battlefield has already entered the top million… Such potential is close to the Prodigy-level. Our Qin Family is also interested in recruiting him. I will seek instructions from the Family Elders,” Qin Lie spoke in a low voice.

For a moment, the several gods present were faintly at each other’s throats.

Just then, Sima Tianci let out a yawn and said in a lazy tone, “Have you all forgotten something?”

As he spoke, he pointed at Sima Bang, who was lying on the arena floor like a dead dog.

The corners of Sima Tianci’s mouth curled up slightly. “He is my younger brother’s friend.”

The others’ eyes flickered slightly, but they did not continue to argue.

With the potential Yang Fan was currently displaying, he was indeed worthy of investment from the Five Great Families, and not just an “unrestricted investment contract” like the one from the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle.

A Genius like him could be directly recruited as a core member of the Family.

“Let’s continue the assessment,” Gu Changkong spoke, his tone calm. “We can discuss the investment matter later.”

His gaze swept across the crowd. “The first round of assessment is over. The remaining number of people is 176. Next is the second round.”

“After choosing a direction, the Intelligent Life will perform testing, and ultimately filter out the top ten.”

“These ten people will receive special investment contracts as well as an S-Rank Building as a reward.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle force lifted the unconscious Sima Bang and sent him out of the arena.

Immediately after, the space in the center of the arena distorted slightly, and three completely different areas slowly unfolded.

On the far left was the Cultivation Route, where Spiritual Qi surged, and a “target body” condensed from pure energy floated within. It could be attacked at will, and all damage would be fully recorded and converted into attack power data.

In the middle was the Martial Route, within which invisible force fields were layered one upon another to measure Physical Body and defensive weight-bearing capacity.

The far right was completely different. As far as the eye could see, countless data points interwoved in the air—a virtual deduction space created by a high-ranking Intelligent Life that could instantly determine a god’s maximum computing power.

All three major directions were uniformly evaluated by the Intelligent Life.

This second round of the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle was to test the limits of a god in a certain system. Without needing to go through a Divine Kingdom War, it could indirectly reflect the overall strength of the believers within their divine kingdom.

“Testing begins.” As the prompt sounded, the crowd quickly split up.

The Cultivation and Martial Arts routes had the largest number of people. But surprisingly, more than twenty people had also gathered in front of the Mechanical Path.

Yang Fan’s gaze swept across, and his heart stirred slightly. “As expected of the Primordial Academy, to have so many people choosing even the Mechanical Path.”

Without hesitation, he stepped forward, heading straight for the Cultivation Route area.

After all, this was the primary route of Yang Fan’s divine kingdom.

In the testing area, figures constantly went in and out.

Almost every few breaths, a cold and clear voice would ring out above the arena.

“Senior year, Human Race Prodigy—Lu Chen. Cultivation Route testing completed.

Original attack value: 872.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 1744 points.”

“Senior year, Human Race Prodigy—Han Li. Martial Route testing completed.

Original defensive load: 1030.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 2060 points.”

“Junior year, Human Race Prodigy—Gu Xingzhou. Mechanical Path testing completed.

Peak computing power: 890.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 1780 points.”

“Senior year, Human Race Prodigy—Qin Yang. Cultivation Route testing completed.

Original attack value: 2010.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 4020 points.”

“Senior year, Human Race Prodigy—Sima Ling. Martial Route testing completed.

Original defensive load: 1180.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 2360 points.”

“Junior year, Human Race Prodigy—Lin Xuan. Mechanical Path testing completed.

Peak computing power: 960.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 1920 points.”

…

The grading standards for the three routes were different, but under the uniform algorithm of the Intelligent Life, they were all multiplied by a fixed coefficient and converted into a unified comprehensive score.

It was clear at a glance, the superior and inferior instantly distinguished.

The entire process was like an assembly line, efficient and cold.

Enter, test, broadcast, exit—there were no extra steps.

Gu Changkong and the others stood on the high platform, nodding slightly as they listened to the continuous broadcasts of the scores.

The Primordial Academy recruited from the entire Human Federation, and there were so many with outstanding talent. However, the development of a divine kingdom was never just about talent; Resources were the foundation.

And the vast majority of Resources in this world were controlled by the Five Great Families. Therefore, the top ten of each Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle almost always came from them.

Even if they were not direct descendants of the Five Great Families, they were prodigies who had been invested in by them in advance.

Soon it was Yang Fan’s turn. He stepped into the Cultivation Route testing area and took a deep breath.

He slowly raised his right hand, and an extremely sharp golden aura emerged from his right arm. Its sharpness was restrained, yet it was heart-palpitating.

This was a B-Rank Cultivation Technique—the Gengjin Rift-Blade Art.

Although Yang Fan’s believers had no special Cultivation talent, they cultivated all Five Elements, each with their own strengths.

And the Dao of Gengjin focused on slaughter! Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose this Cultivation Technique for this test.

At the same time, the believers in the divine kingdom who cultivated the Gengjin Rift-Blade Art raised their heads almost simultaneously, as if they had sensed something.

In the next instant, Yang Fan moved.

He swung his right hand down! A pale golden light suddenly tore through the air and shot out!

There was no exaggerated momentum, yet it was sharp to the extreme! Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be sliced open with a thin crack!

However, just as that light was about to explode, an invisible force appeared in the air, melting away that golden light which was enough to slash through everything!

After a brief silence, the voice of the Intelligent Life rang out.

“Freshman year, Human Race Prodigy—Yang Fan. Cultivation Route testing completed.

Original attack value: 2490.

Comprehensive score after coefficient conversion: 4980 points.

The testing process was extremely fast; in just a few short minutes, all three routes were completely tested.

In the next moment, light converged in the sky.

A huge electronic light screen slowly unfolded, and everyone’s results appeared at the same time.

[Comprehensive Ranking]

1st Place: Yang Fan (Freshman) — 4980 points

2nd Place: Qin Yang (Senior) — 4020 points

3rd Place: Sima Ling (Senior) — 2960 points

4th Place: Han Li (Senior) — 2060 points

5th Place: Lin Xuan (Junior) — 1920 points

6th Place: Gu Xingzhou (Junior) — 1780 points

7th Place: Lu Chen (Senior) — 1744 points

8th Place: Li Xiang (Senior) — 1644 points

9th Place: Deng E (Senior) — 1598 points

10th Place: Han Chao (Senior) — 1577 points

The ranking was incredibly clear, but the entire venue was dead silent.

Within the Heaven-Pressing Realm, not one of the over five thousand people made a sound, whether they were Human Race Prodigies or the gods who had come from the Five Great Families to preside over the event.

Even Sima Tianci, the Peerless Prodigy who had once walked out of the Primordial Academy, had a completely changed look in his eyes at this moment.

Looking at Yang Fan, Sima Tianci no longer had a lazy expression, but instead looked as if he were looking at one of his own kind.
