The entire second floor, ruined by the explosion, had fallen into dead silence. The walls, scorched by the fierce fire, were pitch black, and at a certain angle, moonlight refracted layers of bloodstains.

Pei Jinye and the middle-aged captain exchanged a glance.

“All quiet now?” the middle-aged captain whispered, swiftly changing a magazine.

Pei Jinye looked up and scanned around. The Shadow Sickle Beast had vanished without a trace. He likewise lowered his voice, “Is there really flammable ice on this ship?”

The middle-aged captain knitted his brows, “You noticed it too?”

Pei Jinye nodded.

If there really was flammable ice, an exchange of fire like this could destroy the entire vessel.

But now, despite all the explosions, not a trace of flammable ice could be seen.

And…

What exactly was hidden beneath the deck?

“Retreat first!”

The middle-aged captain commanded with an assertive voice.

Pei Jinye nodded.

Suddenly, a roar came from the deck.

Pei Jinye and the middle-aged captain’s expressions changed.

The Shadow Sickle Beast that had caused the explosion on the second floor had now, undetected, appeared on the deck and was charging at the descending helicopter.

“Damn it!”

Pei Jinye fired his weapon immediately.

The bullets hit the Shadow Sickle Beast’s back, only causing it to stagger a bit, not even penetrating its scale armor.

Pei Jinye rushed forward.

The middle-aged captain followed behind him, shouting, “I’ll draw its attention; you take the shots. Hit it head-on with white phosphorus bombs!”

Pei Jinye flipped over the railing and jumped onto a container inside, but his expression suddenly changed—there was something off about this container!

However, he had no time to concern himself with that now.

He charged ahead.

Leaping up, he jumped onto another container, swiftly reloading his weapon.

“Click!”

The magazine was loaded.

Pei Jinye, mid-air, raised his gun—

However, the instant he pulled the trigger, a dark red tentacle burst through the container and wrapped around his ankle with fishhook-like barbs.

“Hmm?”

No one had expected such a thing to happen.

At this moment, however, Pei Jinye’s heart was incredibly calm.

He had been thinking from the start about what exactly this assessment, deemed “Extraordinarily Difficult,” was truly testing.

But no matter what it was,

he remembered the words Principal Wang had mentioned at the entrance—

[No matter what you encounter, don’t panic!]

“Swoosh!”

As he was being dragged toward the container in mid-air, Pei Jinye swung his gun around and, without hesitation, turned the dark red tentacle into a sieve.

He rolled on the spot to diffuse the force.

Something in the container opposite seemed startled and shook violently.

He quickly pulled out a dagger from his leg and cut off a section of tentacle around his ankle. His ankle was bloody, both from his own wound and from the tentacle monster.

Pei Jinye didn’t care whether it was poisonous or not—it wasn’t his body, after all.

What he needed to do now was to valiantly demonstrate his courage.

In an assessment at the Federation level, what better way to score high marks than by presenting a proactive and positive image?

Pei Jinye saw no shame in it.

Having witnessed the power of the privileged in this world, and seeking to become stronger himself, he certainly wouldn’t mind securing more resources under the premise of ensuring his own safety.

Especially now, being part of a Federation-level elite assessment, which was at least fairer than being subject to the private selection of the privileged.

As long as Pei Jinye displayed enough exceptional abilities, he would attract the attention of “that person.”

Who it was, he wasn’t sure.

But he knew that after deciphering Sealing Object D-21, the gaze that came his way was the most powerful Transcendent he had ever encountered in his life!

Running, reloading, firing.

In one fluid movement, another tentacle thrown at him was shattered instantaneously.

The mysterious creature was temporarily repelled.

At that moment,

Pei Jinye and the middle-aged captain looked at each other.

The chance to attack had been interrupted.

A tacit understanding formed in a mere moment, but it was interrupted by the howling sound of a helicopter tail hit and crashing.

The two of them looked up at the same time.

The Shadow Sickle Beast stood on a three-meter-high edge, its crimson eyes looking back, towering above.

The helicopter hit the sea, and the next second a fireball more than ten meters high erupted, brilliantly illuminating the ferocious muscles on the Shadow Sickle Beast’s body.

Above them, another helicopter hovered, not daring to come any closer.

“Xing Tian, tell me the next plan!”

“Xing Tian?”

“Damn! The signal’s been blocked!”

The middle-aged captain cursed in frustration.

Pei Jinye took a deep breath and turned his head.

“Whose goddamn idea was this mission!”

Inside the control room.

The Governor of Da Peng City couldn’t help but express his doubt, “Scene integration? Has this mode ever appeared before? Shadow Sickle Beasts, Red Thorn Squids… and the BiBo Ship incident, I’m not sure if I’m mistaken, but it seems I’ve heard of it somewhere!”

The main examiner for the session first looked towards Mr. Han, then said softly, “According to the design of the [Star Ring], this round has chosen events that actually happened in history, to show the candidates how hard-won the peace of the present is. On the other hand, by testing team combat, we are also assessing this candidate’s courage in the face of life and death, his ability to adapt to crises, and whether… he can save this crisis.”

“The content of this assessment is too vague…” The Governor frowned, having been opposed to Pei Jinye participating in an “Extraordinarily Difficult” assessment from the start.

Especially now that he heard such a broad description of the assessment, he had a bad feeling about it.

“How is the assessment deemed successful? Does he have to save the operation from crisis?” The Governor queried.
