At the examination venue, the candidates burst into thunderous screams.
"Could this be the legendary instantaneous evil body? Oh my god, such a physique really exists!"
"He can absorb evil energy into his body in an instant and integrate it perfectly. His threshold potential is unlimited. No wonder he has a golden letter of recommendation!"
"Freak! So scary..."
The crowd was talking, all eyes fixed on the evil energy value above the glass compartment where Aric was.
Thirty cubic meters, fifty cubic meters, one hundred and ten cubic meters...
A strong evil aura was released into the glass compartment again, and was absorbed by Aric in an instant.
The speed at which the evil energy was released could not keep up with the speed at which he absorbed it.
At this time, Aric's spirit was restrained and entered the Ten Directions Demon Body.
He looked at the magic boxes that were constantly condensing in the space. In addition to the three black and gold magic boxes condensed by the sealed black dragon in the past three days, eleven gray magic boxes were condensed now.
"What items will be opened from these magic boxes?" Aric muttered to himself, but did not open these magic boxes immediately.
Because the magic box has a characteristic that the more you open it at the same time, the greater the probability of obtaining special items.
He wanted to see how many magic boxes he could condense in this test. Immediately, he looked at the black dragon in the sealed area.
"Loach, you did nothing all day and only then could you condense a magic box. You are really useless."
Loach?
When the Black Dragon heard Aric call him that, his dragon whiskers trembled with anger and he almost went berserk.
"You're looking for death!"
With a roar, the black dragon began to vent its anger in vain again.
"While I'm alive, I might release you one day when I'm in a good mood. If I die, you really don't know when you'll be able to remove the seal." Aric said this sullenly as he continued to count the magic boxes that had condensed.
"Fifty-nine, sixty..."
The Black Dragon's emotions gradually stabilized, and his huge eyes stared at Aric.
"You'll really let me out?"
Aric shrugged and said calmly, "It's possible."
"What do you want?"
"Help me become stronger. The stronger I am, the less of a threat you will pose to me."
"When this threat is reduced to zero, that will be the day I lift the seal for you."
The Black Dragon sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"You're dreaming! Even if you become a god-level evil-controller, I can easily crush you to death. That day will never come."
Aric also sneered and glanced at the black dragon.
"It's better to have hope than no hope, don't you think?"
The black dragon fell silent, and at this time the magic box in the sky also stopped condensing.
"One hundred and one!"
Aric nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the assessment outside was over and it was time to go out.
Before leaving, he glanced at the Black Dragon who was lost in thought and couldn't help but sneer.
Humph, I want to be... How to Train Your Dragon!
At the same time, in the assessment venue.
"Oh my god, one thousand and ten cubic meters!"
"This... this has broken the world record!"
"This isn't even his limit. The evil energy reserve capsules that the Demon Control Department prepared for the assessment have already been used up by him alone."
"Oh my God! No wonder he has a golden letter of recommendation."
Just as he came to his senses, Aric heard a thunderous roar outside.
He opened his eyes and looked at the crowd outside the glass compartment with some confusion. These people were like crazy, shouting and exclaiming wildly.
"Everyone...everyone is crazy?" Aric muttered to himself, having only been in the Ten Directions Demon Body for a short while. Why were all these people going crazy? Were they invaded by evil spirits?
When he came out, all the candidates looked at him with ardent eyes. Some are envious, some are admiring, and some are jealous.
"Boss, you are indeed a genius!" Kyle ran to Aric and said excitedly, unable to hide the admiration in his eyes.
"Genius?" Aric was confused, completely unaware of what crazy thing he had done.
Kyle pointed at the performance record screen above the venue. Following his finger, he saw the list of the second round of tests displayed on the screen, and his name appeared prominently in the first row.
Aric, the threshold of evil energy is one thousand and ten cubic meters!
The eye-catching list leads the whole field, and the combined achievements of all the people on the list are not as good as his.
"Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!" Aric raised his head proudly, looking like a master, not at all humble.
"Keep a low profile? Impossible! This time, I'm afraid you'll become famous throughout the entire Federal Alliance." Kyle also imitated him and spoke in a very arrogant manner.
"Hmm? Why?"
"Boss, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Don't you know that you are a transient evil body? Do you know what the concept of one thousand and ten cubic evil energy is?" Kyle held his forehead and sighed.
"What is this instantaneous evil body? I don't understand." Aric was a little confused and hadn't recovered for a while.
Without waiting for Kyle to answer, David, wearing a black cloak, came over with a group of team members.
Everyone made way, and Kyle also stepped aside. The aura of these people was too strong....
David stopped, his hood covering the upper half of his face, only his nose and mouth could be seen, full of mystery.
Aric wondered how they could see outside.
"Aric... Very good. After the training is over, I hope you can join the Demon Guarding Division." David's deep voice revealed a hint of appreciation.
Although the hood covered his eyes, Aric always felt that he could see into his heart through the hood.
It's a feeling you can't explain, a sense of insight you can't put into words.
After saying that, without waiting for Aric to reply, David had already left with his team members.
After a while, everyone started talking in a flurry.
"This is too lucky. He actually received an invitation directly from the Demon Guarding Department, and it was personally invited by the captain."
"Yes, if it were me, I would agree on the spot!"
…
On the contrary, Aric did not take the other party's invitation to heart.
He knew very well that the Evil Exorcism Department was a highly dangerous department, and no one knew how many members died every year. He didn't want to go to such a place.
Half an hour later, the second batch of evil energy reserve capsules arrived and the assessment continued.
No more monsters appeared afterwards, and Kyle passed with a score of 27 cubic meters. Although it was not much, it was another miracle in the slums.
The next assessment is the locus test.
The test was not as complicated as one might imagine. It was as simple as drawing some blood and then everyone waited for the results.
Ten minutes later, the results were displayed one by one on the list screen.
Nathan, activated the eighth gene point, passed.
Emily, activated the seventh gene point, passed.
Thomas, activated the seventh gene point, passed.
John, activated the seventh gene point, passed.
…
The top four are still those four, and the rankings get lower and lower.
Going down the list, only less than two hundred people passed, and Kyle also met the requirement by activating the third gene point.
"That's not right, sir, why is your name not here?" Kyle looked through the list of the top 100 qualified candidates, but couldn't find Aric's name.
"Look down."
"No."
Kyle lowered his gaze and looked beyond the 150th person, but still couldn't find him.
"Further down."
When he saw the last one, he finally found him and was petrified on the spot.
Aric, gene points not activated, qualified.
"puff!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd vomited blood and fell to the ground. When the medical staff carried the man away, they could only hear him mumbling.
"It's not a monster, it's a weirdo..."
Damn it, I've never seen a candidate in history who gets a poor score on the life aptitude test, breaks the world record on the evil spirit test, and has zero gene activation points.
After three rounds of tests, there were less than two hundred people left, with only the last assessment left.
Brain fluctuation test.
"First of all, congratulations on becoming a quasi-evil-controller. The last test will not be included in the assessment results, but please take it seriously." David said loudly.
This test was jointly decided by the Ministry of Exorcism and the four major financial groups, only to screen out candidates who are qualified to operate the ninth generation of super-powered mechas.
Machines resembling massage chairs appeared in the center of the venue.
Ten candidates sat on it and put on a device similar to VR virtual glasses.
Soon, fluctuating EEG lines appeared on the screen of their machine.
Some have large fluctuations and small intervals, while others have small fluctuations and large intervals.
Some people even held on to the chairs tightly with both hands, their whole bodies shaking.
Five minutes later, the first row of candidates finished the test. The examiner looked at the data, shook his head, and said, "All failed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
You know, these ten people are in the top ten of the list, including Nathan, Emily, Thomas, and John.
After round after round of testing, all failed.
The last eight people, Kyle and Aric went up to test together.
"Come on, boss, let's drop their jaws again!" Kyle clenched his fists and cheered.
Aric smiled awkwardly, sat on the machine, and put on the VR equipment.
In an instant, he seemed to have entered another world.
"Roar!"
With a roar, a wolf-like creature ran towards him at high speed, its sharp fangs shining coldly, and a trace of flesh still hanging from its bloody mouth.
Level 4 evil spirit, blood wolf!
Aric didn't feel anything. Although it was very real, he had gradually become accustomed to the existence of the black dragon. Evil spirits of this level were just... so-so.
The scene flashed, and the blood wolf disappeared, replaced by a huge black bear.
The black bear was at least ten meters tall, and its paws were waving in front of him with great vigor, as if it could beat him into a pulp in the next second.
Endless pressure swept over like an overwhelming force, trying to change the color of the world.
Level five evil spirit, the wild bear-eating beast!
Aric still didn't feel anything and just treated it as watching a VR movie.
Five minutes later, the picture disappeared.
As soon as Aric took off the instrument, he saw everyone looking at him in confusion.
"Boss, please accept my knees!" Kyle had an exaggerated expression and was about to worship him.
Aric turned back in confusion and looked at the display screen of the instrument. He saw that his EEG was a straight line, followed by the test results.
"Severe cerebral palsy."
