Chapter 110: The Highest Score in History (Incomplete)
Entering the interior of the Sky-reaching Tower.
After completing the identity registration, Chen Yu bid farewell to his chubby neighbor and the long-haired man, taking the lead to ascend to the twenty-fifth floor by elevator under the guidance of a staff member.
"Sir, the twenty-fifth floor is a rest and dining area for all competitors. You may occupy any vacant room," the respectful staff member explained, "but you can only occupy one room."
"Okay,"
Chen Yu nodded perfunctorily, observing the rising elevator around him.
It was called an "elevator," but it was more akin to an ancient hoisting device. The compartment was unenclosed on the sides and top, exposing the rapidly descending walls.
Occasionally, the "stone platform" under their feet would scrape against the walls, sparking bursts of fire.
"How many floors does this tower have?" Chen Yu asked.
"Nine hundred ninety-nine floors," the beautiful female staff member smiled in response, "plus one open-air arena where tomorrow's ring competition will take place."
"Creak, creak, creak~"
Soon, the "elevator" reached the twenty-fifth floor, and the stone doors ahead slowly parted to either side.
Before him was a large hall.
Clusters of participants gathered around stone tables and chairs scattered throughout the hall, all early entrants for this session's graduation assessment.
Among them, Chen Yu also spotted the figures of three individuals from the Ka Xiu clan.
"Here we are, sir. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me," the female staff member bowed deeply, intentionally revealing the cleavage of her chest where a string of telephone numbers was written.
Regrettably, Chen Yu didn't even glance at her and walked straight out of the elevator.
Female staff member: "..."
"Bang!"
The stone doors shut tightly, emitting a slightly jarring sound.
Many in the hall turned their heads toward the noise, their gazes focusing on Chen Yu as they sized him up.
The assessment would end in less than half a day.
Those who handed in their 'papers' so early were either very strong or had completely failed.
Clearly, Chen Yu seemed more like the latter.
After a while, the crowd paid him no more attention.
This hall, located at the center of the building, was surrounded by rooms on the outer layer.
Chen Yu casually entered an unoccupied room, closed the door, and lay down on the stone bed in the shape of a cross, taking a deep breath.
He rested for a moment.
Sitting up, he opened his backpack and began to sort through the gains from this assessment.
Firstly, the brains of two foreigners.
Although it was one less than the three initially expected, it wasn't a big deal. After all, he just wanted to experiment and see if Chen, as a "malevolent being," could still benefit from consuming the brains after they were frozen.
And what was the difference between the brain of a Transcendent and an ordinary brain.
Secondly, a new supernatural ability—[Flawed Instantaneous Movement].

Without a doubt, it was a truly divine skill!
Especially after Chen Yu had mastered a new "method of use."
Now he could use it "without injury."
It also inflicted "taunt" and "contamination" attacks on the opponent...
"The remaining thing is the reward for the upcoming ring competition,"
Putting the cryogenic tank containing the brains back into his backpack, Chen Yu pulled out his phone, wanting to check the reward list for the assessment rankings once more, but realized his phone had run out of battery.
He had no choice but to give up.
Leaning against the headboard, he looked around.
He noticed the room was empty and roughly furnished, with no windows, no desks, no furniture, no bathroom.
In front of the foot of the bed, on the stone wall, hung an old television set.
Finding the remote control, he pressed the power button.
The TV screen instantly played the live broadcast of this session's graduation assessment.
With nothing better to do, Chen Yu began to watch.
But as he stared at the screen, his mind was still wildly speculating.
He was considering his next course of action.
In the long term:
He must learn every foreign race's language! Being illiterate meant no room for progress.
For each civilization's language he learned, his growth space would expand significantly—especially for races like the Ka Xiu clan, where everyone was a Transcendent. Their replicable abilities' tiers were definitely far superior to those of human Transcendents.
"In that case... I can kill fewer human Transcendents," Chen Yu squinted his eyes.
Indeed.
The moment Hecheng was razed, he was blinded by rage and tempted to slaughter all the "Transcendents."
But a month had passed.
He had come to understand more about the Transcendent world and gradually calmed down.
He knew that every snowflake in this "avalanche" bore some guilt, but the real masterminds were the upper echelons of the Transcendent world who set all the rules.
Especially that "Great Emperor."
Even just for the sake of avenging his hometown, that person must die.
As for the other Transcendents...
He sighed heavily and began to rub his temples vigorously.
It's kind of funny.
Perhaps due to "soul-transmigrating," the social views that Chen Yu understood were completely different from those held by the humans of this world.
Even his chubby neighbor, who thought somewhat similarly, still had a considerable generational gap with him on certain views about people and things.
This caused him to know that this society was wrong, yet he couldn't imagine what a "normal" society suitable for this world would look like.
Like a blind swimmer, he didn't know which direction to swim in to reach land.
"If push comes to shove..."
Chen Yu began to feel agitated, scratching his head fiercely: "Just overturn the table."
If all the other races in this world died, and the entire Transcendent realm was destroyed,
Leaving only "ordinary humans," wouldn't all problems be solved indeed?
