My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Mu Yuan drew his number.

Number 54. He was contestant number 54, roughly in the middle of the contestants. Maybe he could get through today’s test before lunch.

Good, he wouldn’t have to waste another afternoon.

He looked at the young man with dark circles under his eyes, signaling with his eyes.

Liver Emperor said, “I’m number 98, it’s a bit late, no, on second thought it might be more advantageous to go later. I can grind for another half day before the test starts, maybe level up my main force. Okay, time to grind!”

Many players were thinking the same thing.

Soon, the two of them bid farewell to Old Brother Mai Wa, following a staff member to the designated waiting area to wait for the start of the test.

The so-called waiting area was actually quite spacious, where the players could either mingle with each other in the hall, or continue their games in private rooms.

However, all a player needed to grind was a phone, whether they went into a private room or not did not matter.

Many rookies were waiting for their turn while logging in to the game to check on their status and take actions.

Liver Emperor was the most industrious of them all. He seemed uneasy if he weren’t grinding for a moment, his gaze was glued to his cellphone screen, manipulating the controls non-stop with complete focus.

The game screen of each player could only be seen by themselves. To others, the players were just continuously tapping on the locked screen of their devices, looking like they were losing their minds.

Mu Yuan couldn’t see Liver Emperor’s game status, and even if he could, he wouldn’t spy on him. What he saw was that Liver Emperor’s operation volume was quite large. Probably, he was manually setting up detailed plans for each kind of troop, maximizing efficiency.

The other players were too, more or less, grinding.

Mu Yuan took out his phone, opened his game and glanced at it, then fell into deep thought: should he rest, drink tea, or drink coffee?

He was in a dilemma-

He wanted to grind too, but Dead Bone was already leading the team to explore, and he didn’t need to worry about it.

At most, he could send Battle Falcon to contact Dead Bone and check on the situation.

For the rest of the time, he just needed to watch as the resources and evolution points increased one by one, taking pleasure in it.

Even the whales were grinding at this moment. They might not need to worry about not passing the test, but they still had to seize the time to develop their territories.

Wasting time was a disgraceful act.

Under such an atmosphere, Mu Yuan felt that he did not fit in with the rookies around him, which was quite uncomfortable. However, on second thought, shouldn’t a lord delegate tasks to his subordinates? He was just learning to act like a lord in advance.

The resource test was divided into two parts, a written test and a martial test. The written test examined the players’ control ability and micro-operation skills when using media, which only accounted for 20% of the score.

The test could be done quickly, and it could be over in a snap.

The real test of a player’s potential was the martial test, which examined both the level of the player’s troops and the player’s real-time control and command ability.

“The content of the test requires players to last for a certain period of time under the examiner’s control. In the end, the examination group will score the players based on their performance. The top 16 scorers will receive this term’s Rookie Lord Support Package.”

Mu Yuan delved into the test information distributed by the staff.

Soon, the first part of the written test began.

At the same time, outside the waiting area.

Countless newcomers who did not participate in the test but came to join in the excitement were eagerly looking forward.

They couldn’t enter the test site to see the battles up close, and there wasn’t any live broadcast of the test site. However, the huge display screen in the association’s hall was scrolling the test scores of each candidate.

First place: Contestant No. 066, 20 points.

Second place: Contestant No. 054,19.8 points.

Third place: Contestant No. 101,19.1 points.

Fourth place:…

Soon, the scores of more than one hundred testers were listed on the large screen. Among them, a golden line was drawn between the sixteenth and seventeenth places, separating them like heaven and earth.

“So, it means that there are 16 quota spots for this term?”

Old Brother Mai Wa stroked his chin.

Miss White Fox stared at the leaderboard, her eyes suddenly brightened, “Hey, I remember Brother Mu is number 54, right? He’s unexpectedly ranked second? This is astonishing! That means his spot is secured, and he will soon become a lord, right?”

Old Brother Mai Wa was also somewhat surprised, but then shook his head.

“No wonder Brother Mu could reach Remnant Soul on the first day. His operation skills are indeed something, no, should say that they are superb. But…”

“If I’m not wrong, the first round of the written test just ended, and the written test score only accounts for 20% of the total test score. It’s a secondary part. Whether Brother Mu can secure a place in the top 16 depends on his performance in the martial test. I can only say that his start was good.” “However, the martial test is where the whales have the biggest advantage.”

Old Brother Mai Wa genuinely hoped that Brother Mu could pass the test and continue the dream that he had not yet begun.

Moreover, if Brother Mu became a lord, he could curry favor and initiate trades, which would allow him to gain full member status in the trade consortium faster, leading to promotion and salary increase.

However,

“It’s hard…”

“Only the Ou Huang who leads the Skeleton Soldiers and that Macho Man seems more secure as peasant operators. The others…”

And Brother Mu? Although he reached Remnant Soul on the first day, compared to Macho Man and Ou Huang’s achievements on the first day, he was still somewhat lacking.

These two were far from those true whales.

Hope Brother Mu could secure a passing spot.

The time began to tick away slowly. Although the rookies couldn’t see the battlefield and there was no text-based report, they were still engaged in heated discussions.

“The martial test has just reached the 20th entrant. Currently, contestant number 007 is ranked first with a total score of 71.2. What does this score mean?”

A greenhand asked.

Then the knowledgeable veteran players began to explain, “This score is quite good. The martial test is not as simple as the written test. It’s good to get a passing score of 60%.”

“With contestant number 007’s total score of 71.2, it’s safe to say that he has locked up a spot for advancement.”

As the test continued, the ranking on the leaderboard quickly shifted.

Contestant number 007 gradually fell to the second and third places.

The early front-runners, numbers 66 and 54, had naturally fallen off the radar.

In the exam venue.

POW-

A spearman brandished his long spear and charged like a dragon.

With a stab and a sweep, he cleared several thugs from the field.

The voice prompt timely announced, “The exam is over. Please, examinees, take the right-hand exit out of the waiting area and patiently await the exam results. Injured troops can be taken to Zone 3 for free treatment.”

The examiners on one side of the field shook their heads slightly.

“Thugs as two-star troops aren’t weak. They can resist and fight, but these newbies command them so poorly, it’s like they’re directing blindly!”

“Hmph, this is the worst batch of newbies I’ve seen.”

“Well, they are ordinary people after all. We can’t expect too much.”

“No, precisely because they are ordinary people, they should strive to do their best. Or else, how would they survive the Lord Trial?!”

Chief examiner Jiang Cheng also sighed.

This wave of newcomers can’t be said to be bad, just that the performances of the civilian players were somewhat disappointing. The whales, as always, were steady.

Chief examiner Jiang Cheng was a Lord who originated from ordinary people.

He wished that among the civilians, more outstanding players would rise, but compared with whales and the extraordinary second generation, it is indeed a natural disadvantage to be civilians. Only the most excellent can stand out.

The country has made efforts to support civilian Lords, but strategically, Xuan Country first needs to ensure the number of new Lords. Only then, can it consider whether to assist civilian players.

After all, managing a territory is not easy.

Compared to the whales, civilian Lords are much less stable, often running their territories poorly due to various unexpected events, and eventually collapsing.

The current resource assessment rules do favor civilian players, but ultimately, whether they can seize the opportunity depends on the newcomers themselves.

As for players with criminal records? They would have been checked and eliminated at the application stage, and they wouldn’t have had the chance to take the exam at all.

After all, the Lord, at the very least, is a key force in Xuan Country.

“Next up is candidate No. 54, let me check the data…”

“Mu Yuan, of ordinary origins, family has met with misfortune, but he stood up against the difficulty. He performed well during university and was chosen by Eternal World at graduation.”

“I will assess this candidate.”

The chief examiner Jiang Cheng rose and walked towards the distance.

Mu Yuan entered the examination site with a somewhat nervous heart.

The examination site was not small and was about the size of two or three basketball courts. A burly examiner, dressed in loose martial arts attire, stood across the large stage, exuding an oppressive aura.

He snapped his fingers.

ZAP-

In front of him, three mysterious magic circles spread out, and three identical spearmen emerged from them.

“These are two-star troop Spearmen, all at stage zero and level 9. What you need to do is to withstand their attacks for more than 5 minutes. Of course, this examiner will not command the spearmen in any way, and you can employ all the tactics you can think of.”

“Now, summon your troops. You have three minutes to prepare. Also, this place has special effects. Summoning troops here does not consume Soul Sand, and the consumption of spiritual power is significantly reduced.”

After a pause, examiner Jiang Cheng reminded, “But spiritual power will still be consumed, summon your troops according to your ability.”

Jiang Cheng remembered the candidate number 54 from the previous round.

That candidate, also a civilian with good talent, had accumulated more than a dozen or even twenty troops in just six days. He had been expected to qualify, but he overestimated himself during the military trial, summoned too many troops to the point of exhausting all his spiritual power. He hadn’t even started fighting when he lay on the ground unconscious, falling into deep sleep.

He was directly eliminated.

As soon as he saw Mu Yuan’s candidate number, the chief examiner Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but remind him. This was somewhat against the rules.

Mu Yuan looked around, the whole field was engraved with mysterious patterns, perhaps, this was a Miracle Building?

He didn’t know.

Not far from the stage, hovered a black and ghost-like troop. It concealed its power, but it still gave off a massive terrifying force that drew the observer’s gaze.

This was the judge of the exam field, it would intervene to save their lives when the newcomer’s troops were in danger.

As for the examiner’s three spearmen?

It didn’t matter, they were just the examiner’s tools for the test, not many newcomers had the ability to threaten a level 9 Spearman.

“It’s about to start…”

Mu Yuan took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.

Suddenly, the connection between him and the troops in the Eternal World became incredibly clear, as if a portal had opened in the world. He didn’t need to rely on computers, smartphones, or any other devices to command the troops in the other world.

If he wished to summon them, it seemed that he could call them out with just a wave of his hand.

No wonder, other newcomers could summon troops without exhausting their bodies.

Since that was the case, there was no need to hold back.

My turn, summon!

BUZZ-

The mystical magic circles spread out, and the ancient gate was pulled open from both sides.

From the depths of the passage, a Skeleton Soldier clad in armor and holding a battle sword slowly walked out, its eye sockets aglow with a faint blue Soul Flame.

Examiner Jiang Cheng just nodded slightly when he saw the second, third and nth figure of the Skeleton Soldier coming out of the passage, their

speed becoming faster and faster.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

For a moment, the entire exam field became quiet and gloomy.

Only the sound of the Skeleton Soldiers marching in formation could be heard.

They held their battle swords high, their eye sockets burning with raging Soul Flames. They formed two lines on either side, guarding the figure at the end of the stage.

Under the glow of the Soul Flame, Mu Yuan’s figure flickered in brightness.

Like the faces of the examiners in the distance, changing in just a few seconds from shock to disbelief..
