《Battling Records of the Chosen One》C271. The Notorious Devil
Advertisement
The site was full of din of arguments, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Lin Xun said goodbye to Gu Liang at this time and went forward alone, holding a token to participate in the assessment.
Not far ahead, there was a special assessment area. All the participants needed to go there and wait for the test to begin.
When Lin Xun arrived, the assessment area was already crowded by many men and women. They were all young people under the age of 18. Roughly counting, there were at the very least thousands of people.
Most of them were from wealthy families, and relatively few were from poor backgrounds.
The test had not yet started, so the teenagers in the hall were chatting among themselves. Their faces were full of expectation, tension, excitement, and other emotions.
The Province Test was an opportunity for them to change their destiny. If they could grab it, they would become famous all over the world. From then on, they would be able to surpass most of the practitioners in the world.
“I heard that in the Province Test, the top-ranking figures of the Southwest Province will come to watch. This is a rare opportunity; even if we fail, as long as our performances are good, there is certainly a chance to be picked by those bigshots.”
“It’s too bad to hear this. Before the examination even began, you bring up failure. It's just too spiteful.”
“It's not a matter of moral integrity, it's a matter of reality. You don’t think that people like us can compete with the real top talents, right? Of the 100 that pass the examination, you certainly will have no place in there.”
“I know. I don't really have the confidence to pass the examination. I just want to avoid meeting the top geniuses in the test so that I can show my strength for a bit longer. It will be good enough for me to be picked by a top power.”
“That’s what I want to say. Those prodigies are just too powerful. I heard that many of them are already in the Heaven-gang Realm. Even the top figures who have long been well-known, such as Shue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, Yun Zitong, have reached the Heaven-gang Realm!”
“Oh my God, they are in the Heaven-gang Realm? It's too scary.”
“Why are you so surprised? The test only stipulates that the age of the practitioner must be under 18 and at least reach the Human-gang Realm. It doesn’t forbid those of much higher realm.”
“Damn it, we will be competing against monsters. Who can imagine that teenagers can also reach the Heaven-gang Realm? I just hope I don't encounter those abnormalities later.”
“Aha, it is undoubtedly good to have a high realm. But don't forget that there are some powerful youths in Human-gang Realm, too. Some of them can even fight beyond their realms.”

“There are?”
“Of course, it’s Lin Xun.”
“I knew it must be him. He is usually the least one people want to meet.”
“Damn it! You’re right; that is a living pervert, really. I heard that a few days ago, Lin Xun fought directly with the Heaven-gang puppet in the Azure Ashram field to practice his martial arts. He is really not ordinary!”
In the assessment area, the contestants were constantly analyzing the situation and the opponents they would face, livening up the atmosphere.
While talking about the cream of the young generation with great fame, all of them would mention Lin Xun, which made Lin Xun, who had just arrived here, feel shocked. It never occurred to him that he was already so famous.
The strangest thing was that those guys were talking about him, but no one recognized him. He was standing right in front of them, which made Lin Xun feel funny.
Suddenly, he became dumbfounded to see a fat teenager next to him close his eyes and hands while muttering like a devout worshipper.
He obscurely heard what he was saying: “God, please, don't let me encounter a pervert like Lin Xun.”
Lin Xun almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. “Am I really so terrifying?”
At this time, the little fat man opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Lin Xun's speechless appearance. He could not help saying, "Don't be ridiculous! Buddy! From what I know, Lin Xun is an evil star; whoever provokes him would suffer a great loss.”
Lin Xun didn’t know how to reply.
Seeing Lin Xun’s indifference, the fatty became anxious. “I’m not lying to you. I watched Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen’s fight a few days ago, and you can't imagine how horrifying he really is.”
Lin Xun finally couldn't help but ask, “Since you have watched the fight, can you tell me what Lin Xun looks like?”
The Little Fatty said without thinking, “I was sitting too far at that time and could only vaguely perceive that he was three meters tall with a green face and tusks. He was so fierce that he looked like a ghost from hell.”
Lin Xun turned a white eye to the fatty, resisted the impulse of hitting him, turned his head, and left. It was just too annoying.
When did he become a green-faced devil?
“Hey, man, why are you leaving? I ain’t joking.”
The fatty cried behind him.
How could Lin Xun listen to him again? It was already very kind not to beat him up.
Lin Xun finally determined that those who participated in the assessment might have heard some of his things, but most of them were just ridiculous.
Before long, Lin Xun finally saw some acquaintances, such as Wen Mingxiu, Yuan Shu, Qi Yunxiao, and so on. Obviously, they were also participating in the Province Test.

Almost at the same time, Wen Mingxiu also saw Lin Xun, who was alone, and they suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Most of them had twisted feelings regarding Lin Xun, including hatred, fear, awe, and admiration.
“Sister Mingxiu, what's wrong with you?”
Suddenly, a young man in a brocade robe came over and glanced at Wen Mingxiu with a slight surprise.
“Brother Shue.”
“Great to meet you, brother Shue.”
Suddenly, Wen Mingxiu was awoken from her thoughts. When they saw the young man in the brocade robe, they could not help showing respect.
Shue Shaolin, one of the four most famous prodigies in Mist College, was only seventeen years old, but he had already reached Heaven-gang Realm.
“Sorry, Brother Shue, we just met an acquaintance.”
Wen Mingxiu explained it softly.
“Is it the heir of our Mist College?”
Shue Shaolin asked with interest.
“No, he isn’t.”
Wen Mingxiu shook her head, and Qi Yunxiao took the lead to explain, "Brother Shue, weren’t you curious about Lin Xun? Look, there he is." He then pointed to the distance.
Lin Xun!
Shue Shaolin’s eyes glistened, and he looked in the said direction, but he could only see Lin Xun's back, which soon disappeared into the crowd.
However, Shue Shaolin was able to commit Lin Xun to memory with just a glance. As early as a few days ago, he often heard Lin Xun’s name, who had defeated Huang Jianchen. He couldn’t help wondering what kind of person this guy really was.
Now, he finally saw Lin Xun personally, but unfortunately, it was only a silhouette.
“If I have the chance, I’d like to compete with him in the Province Test. It would be interesting.”
Shue Shaolin said with a slight smile.
The group of Wen Mingxiu was surprised, and their moods turned complex. Although Shue Shaolin was in Heaven-gang Realm, which was two realms higher than Lin Xun, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious if they tussled.
They weren’t belittling Shue Shaolin, but they all knew that Lin Xun was a monster who didn’t follow common sense. Anyone who dared to underestimate him was definitely an idiot.
Seeing their reactions, Shue Shaolin was stunned. After a thought, he realized that Lin Xun was strong enough to keep Wen Mingxiu silent.
It was getting more and more entertaining.
Shue Shaolin's heart surged with an irrepressible ambition. If he had just said it casually before, then at this moment, he really wanted to have a fight with Lin Xun.
Shue Shaolin suddenly thought that if Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, and Yun Zitong knew this, they might have the same idea.
…
Soon, there suddenly sounded a resonant and clear bell. The noisy and lively atmosphere of the venue instantly became silent.
All the audience around the venue and the strong contestants waiting in the examination area, looked at the most eastern part of the site.
There, in mid-air, floated a white jade plateau like a castle, which had fog rolling on the surface and appeared incomparably mysterious.
At this time, there was already a row of figures sitting on the white jade platform. The governor Liu Wujun was in the center, and on both sides of him, there were the president of Mist College Wei Lingzhen and the charger of Ziling Army Du Dongtu. Many great practitioners were standing behind them.
They were the witnesses of the Province Test and would cooperate with the chief examiner Liu Wujun in the evaluation.
The venue was peaceful, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Under the attention of everyone, Wei Lingzhen got up first and announced some rules and precautions of the Province Test. Later, he encouraged those who were participating in the examination. His voice was resounding like thunder, floating around the world.
Finally, he glanced one last time at the field and announced the start of the Province Test.
Almost at the same time, in the assessment area, a group of participants were arranged in different zones and began to draw lots.
Lin Xun drew a lot marked with the words "Round 1, No. 36" and "Rival Tan Long", which meant that he would fight in the first round on the 36th platform, and his opponent would be someone named Tan Long.
According to the rules of the Province Test, the other ninety-nine platforms in the field would also hold battles at the same time.
Time was limited to 15 minutes for each. The winner would enter the next round of the assessment, and the loser would be eliminated directly.
When the time was up, and if there was no winner, the two practitioners involved in the battle would be eliminated together.
When the first battle was over, two hundred other practitioners would continue to fight on the stage.
The first round wouldn’t be over until all 5,436 contestants had finished their fights.
In other words, in the opening round of the assessment, every participant would fight the opponent he drew on the stage following the order.
It could be reckoned when the first round of assessment was over, half of the total practitioners would be eliminated.
That meant that the number would be 2,718. This elimination rate was not only cruel but also abnormal for the participants.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
