“Click!”

The mirror surface cracked again.

Pei Jinye looked down and saw that the water that had been under his feet had silently risen to his chest.

“Indeed, a sufficiently eerie Sealing Object.”

Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.

“It’s not that each step I take consumes my spiritual power, but rather that every second I’m away from the starting point consumes my spiritual power… If I stay aimlessly here without a solution and my spiritual power is exhausted, I’ll be unable to resist the hypnosis of this place…”

Pei Jinye organized his thoughts.

He stared at the Sealing Object in front of him.

Hundreds of mirrors reflected fragments of his body.

The ghastly luster was eroded bit by bit in the silent environment, which would have overwhelmed an ordinary person with fear.

“So far, a total of 17 candidates have encountered the Black Mirror. Up to now, the 11th minute of the assessment has passed, and no one has yet discerned the pattern to break the Black Mirror,” reported the proctor in real-time.

Mr. Han watched Pei Jinye’s performance with interest.

“No one has found it? I beg to differ.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly affected and looked over.

Pei Jinye sized up the Black Mirror for a while; his knowledge of Sealing Objects came solely from other people’s memories, and it was minimal.

Even Zhao Qianfeng from the Judgement Place rarely touched Sealing Objects.

This time was a rare opportunity for close observation.

Pei Jinye couldn’t help but be curious.

Soon, he made a decision.

He pressed his hand violently against the mirror surface, and spiritual power surged in like crazy.

The next second.

His hand went straight through the mirror surface.

“Just as I thought.”

Pei Jinye whispered with a light chuckle, then his entire body followed suit.

Spiritual power, like thousands of threads, intertwined around the Black Mirror, and his sensation of the Sealing Object deepened as he went further in.

The moment Pei Jinye’s figure submerged, he felt a vast spiritual force coming at him.

In this sea of spiritual power, he felt incredibly small and vulnerable.

In the depths, he sensed an undisguised gaze from some entity.

The next second.

He was standing back in the room.

“It’s over?!!”

The proctors in the monitoring room all wore expressions of disbelief.

From touching the Sealing Object to breaking through the spiritual seal, every step he took was stable and clear.

The Governor praised with a smile, “This Classmate Xiao Pei is quite composed, able to maintain his rhythm in the Illusory Realm and calmly analyze… a promising seed indeed.”

“However, this is only the first challenge, and he has encountered such a spiritual power-consuming Sealing Object. Will he be able to continue the next two challenges?”

Suddenly, a voice came.

Turning his head, the Governor saw that it was Xu Tian, who appeared calm, revealing no particular thoughts.

The Governor merely smiled, “Finishing the challenge so quickly means he would have used much less spiritual power than the other 16 candidates. It remains to be seen what task he will draw for the second challenge.”

Mr. Han asked with a calm gaze, “How long did he take?”

The monitoring staff replied with an odd expression, “Exactly 15 minutes.”

“Exactly 15 minutes?”

All the people present exchanged glances, their expressions varied.

“This kid, if he hadn’t spent time studying the Sealing Object, could he have finished even quicker?” the Governor asked Mr. Han with a smile.

Mr. Han too smiled softly.

It was then that.

Xu Tian’s voice came through, “The essence of the elite assessment is to find the Federation’s top talents. Since he has held back some strength, why not initiate the special challenge of increased difficulty?”

The Governor was the first to express opposition to this, “Increasing the difficulty for Pei Jinye alone at this time would be unfair!”

“Fair?” Xu Tian just smiled, “Temporary increases in difficulty happen every year in these assessments. The purpose of the headquarters is to find true talent. Even if he fails the assessment, his impressive performance in the first challenge will be a good record, and he won’t have to worry about getting lost in the crowd in the future exams, right?”

Everyone silently looked towards the man at the head of the table.

Mr. Han slowly closed the file, speaking softly, “The choice is his, not ours.”

[Congratulations to Candidate Pei Jinye for meeting the qualification standard. Would you like to undertake the special difficulty assessment?]

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.

Qualification standard?

He was unaware of the progress of the other candidates’ assessments, but adopting a “since I’m here” attitude, he chose to agree.

As Pei Jinye made his prompt choice, all eyes in the monitoring room were locked on him.

Suddenly someone asked, “If Pei Jinye passes the special difficulty, would his potential ranking be considered as S-level?”

The monitoring room went quiet all at once.

S-level…

S-level from Da Peng City?

The Governor’s breath hitched for a second.

Images of history flashed through his mind.

Had Da Peng City ever had an S-level evaluation?

If an S-level talent from the Federation appeared during his term…

He lifted his head to look at Mr. Han.

Mr. Han had his hands crossed in front of him, watching the monitors with composed eyes.

The Governor internally calmed his emotions.

Looking back at the monitor,

his gaze was filled with tension.

“Count it,” Mr. Han said softly.

Xu Tian hesitated, “Is this your decision?”

Mr. Han turned his head to look, his smile unchanged: “No, this is not my decision; this is the will of Star Ring.”
