Tan Zhenman walked out of the Three-Star Assessment building, a sudden sense of bewilderment washing over her. Just over a month ago, passing the Three-Star Assessment was her lifelong dream. But now, having truly achieved it, she realized she had lost her goal.

She had heard that the fastest person to pass the Three-Star Assessment was Senior Xi Li, and even he needed a full day. That was because rest was permitted after each assessment, but she hadn't even used two hours in total. And that was with some assessments requiring a certain minimum time, or she would have finished even faster.

Whether or not to participate in the Federal Starnet Group's selection was no longer important to her. With her strength, she could easily pass the challenge and enter Diyuan Star at any time. There was no need to compete for those three slots.

Tan Zhenman looked down at the Star Rating wristband on her wrist. Before, the wristband only had two stars, but after passing the Three-Star Assessment, it now had a third. This wristband was her symbol of status. Even if she didn't go to Diyuan Star, she would be respected wherever she went, simply by virtue of passing the Federal Starnet Three-Star Assessment.

Moreover, the three stars on her wristband were gold, which meant she achieved a perfect score in every part of the Three-Star Assessment.

According to Tan Zhenman's knowledge, only Senior Xi Li had ever obtained three gold stars.

Senior Xi Li? A hint of self-deprecation touched Tan Zhenman's lips. The senior of yesteryear, in her mind now, probably couldn't even withstand a slap from Mo Wuji.

A feeling of regret welled up in Tan Zhenman's heart. She had made the wrong choice back then.

Looking at the still-bustling Star Gazing Square, Tan Zhenman suddenly clenched her fist. She decided to give up on competing for the three student slots offered by the Federal Starnet Group. With her strength, she could enter Diyuan Star whenever she wanted. Perhaps the most important thing for her now was to find that Mo Wuji.

Even though she knew Mo Wuji had told her that the opportunity was only once, she still wanted to try her luck.

...

In the Three-Star Assessment scoring office, the conversation between the chatting man and woman finally came to a temporary end. As the woman got up, her eyes suddenly widened, staring fixedly at the large screen behind the man.

"Wan Fei, are you okay?" The man was startled by the woman's gaze and quickly stood up to ask.

The woman named Wan Fei pointed at the screen behind the man, saying in a stuttering voice, "Ju Shangqi, you, you, look…"

Ju Shangqi abruptly turned around, and his mouth dropped open in the same way. It took him a moment to stammer, "All full marks on every physical test item in the Three-Star Assessment, three gold stars, completed in one hour and forty-nine minutes, this, this…"

"Quickly report it to the higher-ups! That person must have already left. We're doomed…" Wan Fei reacted, her voice trembling.

"Right, right…" Ju Shangqi frantically grabbed a microphone and pressed the red button.

...

Antarctica.

In the Starnet era, this was originally the Federal Starnet's headquarters on Earth. After discovering Diyuan Star and starting its development, the Federal Starnet moved its headquarters to Diyuan Star. This became the Federal Starnet's largest branch on Earth.

At this moment, nearly a hundred people were gathered in the Federal Starnet's conference hall in Antarctica, holding an important meeting. The main topic was the Federal Starnet's upcoming recruitment of two hundred talented students from Earth to be trained on Diyuan Star.

The meeting was chaired by the Federal Starnet's Chief Executive Officer, Cassano.

"Executive Officer Cassano, the situation on Diyuan Star is getting more and more serious. I believe that recruiting two hundred people worldwide this time is just a drop in the bucket." The speaker was a German, also a member of the Federal Starnet committee, named Wolf.

The status of China in the Federal Starnet was rising, and even the current Federal Star Executive Wei Yiyu was Chinese. Although Chinese hadn’t replaced English, it had already become one of the two official languages.

After Wolf finished speaking, another committee member stood up. "Executive Officer Cassano, I think Committee Member Wolf makes a lot of sense. The cost of traveling from Earth to Diyuan Star is indeed high, but I believe that cultivating talent is the most important thing at this stage. Two hundred people going to Diyuan Star is too few."

After these two spoke, several others stood up to express the same opinion. Basically, two hundred people was too few, and more people should be sent to Diyuan Star.

Cassano was tall and thin, with heavy bags under his eyes. He did not interrupt when others raised opposing views. After everyone had finished speaking, he slowly said, "The resources of Diyuan Star and our current capabilities can only support the training of two hundred people, that is the limit. Even a powerhouse like Xi Li does not have the ability to protect himself on Diyuan Star. Recruiting more untalented people to go there is just sending them to their deaths. Even of these two hundred people, if twenty remain after a year, it would be a miracle."

Some things were not necessarily clear even to some of the committee members sitting here, but Cassano was very clear.

When Diyuan Star was first discovered, Earth did occupy a large territory with its high technology. The air on Diyuan Star was fresh, and the mineral resources were abundant. This led wealthy people and those with connections from all over the world to flock to Diyuan Star.

As the territory expanded and more and more people arrived on Diyuan Star, various problems arose. First, the many ferocious beasts of Diyuan Star were drawn out, and they began to devour the humans who came to Diyuan Star.

These ferocious beasts had amazing recovery abilities and resistance. Weapons of smaller caliber posed little threat to the ferocious beasts here, and only powerful thermal weapons could kill them. But powerful weapons were generally bulky, and individuals could not carry them around. As for chariots, they could not be used on Diyuan Star, which was covered in forests. Once approached, ferocious beasts ten times the size of elephants would emerge. These ferocious beasts could even crush several chariots into pieces with one foot.

After fighting the ferocious beasts many times, people realized that cold weapons were more effective against them. The higher the quality of the cold weapon, the greater the damage to the ferocious beast. On the contrary, ferocious beasts injured by cold weapons recovered very slowly.

Until recently, some scientists slowly researched and found that the ferocious beasts here seemed to be immune to fire, and some gunpowder ingredients could even become nutrients for the ferocious beasts here. Some ferocious beasts could even absorb the energy released by bullets shot into their bodies, turning it into their own power. Because Earth scientists had not been exposed to body refinement, they did not understand why ferocious beasts could absorb the energy of bullets.

Once a ferocious beast was shot by a bullet and did not die, its power would be even greater the next time. As for the after-effects of bullets left in the body, the ferocious beasts lacked intelligence and fought to the death.

Ferocious beasts killed by bullets were basically low-level ferocious beasts. This was why the federal assessment did not value marksmanship.

Diyuan Star was originally the planet that humans wanted to transfer to, so they naturally did not dare to use nuclear weapons casually here. Once nuclear weapons were used excessively, it would not make much of a difference whether Diyuan Star was occupied or not.

In addition to these, Diyuan Star had another secret. That was that the meat and liver of Diyuan Star's ferocious beasts contained a rich, mysterious power. Eating more of these meats would directly enhance human strength and resistance. The prerequisite was that these ferocious beasts were killed by cold weapons. Once killed by thermal weapons, the meat of these ferocious beasts would change. Although it would also have some effect, it would not even be one-tenth as effective as the meat killed by cold weapons.

More and more ferocious beasts were killed on Diyuan Star, and humans were compressed into a certain area. Many wealthy people who went to Diyuan Star began to regret it, but now the Federal Starnet was tightly sealed, and no panic was allowed to appear.

After Cassano finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Although the Federation kept it very tight, the people here were the main personnel of the Federation, and even on Earth, they vaguely guessed that the situation on Diyuan Star was not good. Wolf sighed and did not say anything more. He knew a little more.

At this moment, a switchboard operator hurried to Cassano's side and whispered, "Emergency call."

"Hurry up and connect it." Hearing the emergency call, Cassano's heart skipped a beat. He thought of the human defense line on Diyuan Star.

Diyuan Star was a planet that humans had finally discovered, and almost all the best scientists and various talents were on Diyuan Star. Because there were too many and too strong ferocious beasts, the defense line established by humans also cost a lot. Once the defense line was torn apart by ferocious beasts, the people on Diyuan Star would not even have the opportunity to return to Earth.

The phone was connected, and Cassano was relieved to hear that it was not about Diyuan Star. Then he was furious that such an emergency call was coming in during such a key meeting.

Before Cassano could get angry, he exclaimed excitedly, "You said you discovered someone who got full marks in the Three-Star physical test assessment in less than two hours? Good, good, immediately find this person, I will go to Qishu City immediately…"

Cassano was still very excited when he put down the phone. The pillar of Diyuan Star, the first powerhouse Xi Li, once said that the only way to suppress all the ferocious beasts on Diyuan Star was to find many powerhouses, or even a peerless powerhouse to crush the ferocious beasts here.

This was also why China had such a high status, because many powerhouses came from China. Similarly, this was why the Federal Starnet wanted to recruit talented students to enter Diyuan Star, it was to cultivate powerhouses.

...

"What?" At the same time, Xia You also stood up abruptly, staring at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with red eyes, and asked word by word, "Are you saying that someone passed the physical test in the Federal Three-Star Assessment with full marks? And within two hours?"

"Yes, absolutely true. As far as I know, Cassano of the Federal Starnet has rushed to Qishu City."

Xia You clenched his fists and said without hesitation, "All the power of the Xia family will be mobilized to take this person away before Cassano in the shortest possible time."
