Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

"Alright, your number is 43. Go to the energy field test and wait!"

Li Chenqiu took the number plate from the woman, thanked her, and followed Zhu Cheng away from there.

On the way, Zhu Cheng asked with curiosity, "Xiao Qiu, you said your strength is greater than a first-level Awakened, but how much greater exactly?"

Li Chenqiu looked up and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "If I use my full strength, it's probably close to fourth-level."

"So it's fourth-level... Wait!" Zhu Cheng slammed on the brakes, stopping in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief: "Fourth-level???"

"Yeah, casually, it's third-level, but with full strength, it's fourth-level," Li Chenqiu said calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"You... you're not kidding, full strength at fourth-level???" Zhu Cheng took a step back, looking Li Chenqiu up and down.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Chenqiu's character, but what he said was too outrageous!

Someone with a first-level ability possessing the power comparable to a fourth-level, had there ever been such a precedent in the Federation's history?

At least Zhu Cheng didn't know of any.

Li Chenqiu wasn't shocked to see Zhu Cheng's reaction. His strength was indeed beyond ordinary people's understanding, so it was normal for others not to believe him.

However, whether others believed it or not was their business; he just needed to use his full strength.

Before today, Li Chenqiu still wanted to be a low-profile Chosen One, but this idea was completely dispelled by Zhu Cheng this morning.

Zhu Cheng told him a way to quickly improve the various functions of his physical body, which was to eat the beasts that had become Awakened.

The flesh of Awakened beasts contained a special life energy, and eating it could comprehensively improve the consumer's physical body.

But this life energy could not be used for regeneration or to delay aging.

Of course, this was only for other people. Li Chenqiu was not subject to this limitation. After all, the life energy he absorbed from eating pigs, sheep, cattle, and ducks could delay aging, and Awakened beasts were, in essence, animals, so there was no difference.

There were only four ways to obtain this kind of meat.

The first was to buy it, but Li Chenqiu didn't even consider this option.

The second was to hunt in the Uninhabited Zone, but this method was too slow. Li Chenqiu knew nothing about the Uninhabited Zone and didn't even know how to identify Awakened beasts.

The third was to join the Special Abilities Division or the Security Administration. After joining, the Federation would regularly distribute the meat of Awakened beasts, but to enter these institutions, one had to go to a military base for training and study. Only after passing the training would there be a chance to enter the Special Abilities Division or the Security Administration.

The fourth was the Federation's Chosen One Academy. These academies were dedicated to cultivating powerful Chosen Ones to serve the Federation, and they would naturally distribute the meat of Awakened beasts. Moreover, after the students graduated, the academy would guarantee job placement, and the assigned institutions would naturally be the Special Abilities Division or even the better Security Administration.

Li Chenqiu chose the fourth option. This kind of academy that could improve his strength and also enhance his social status was exactly what he needed!

According to Li Chenqiu's understanding, there were a total of seventy-three Federation Chosen One Academies, and his goal was the four strongest academies.

Long Night Academy, Changwu Academy, War Academy, and the Federation Tianyuan Academy!

Behind these four academies stood the bigwigs of the Federation, and the last Federation Tianyuan Academy was even founded with funding from the Federation. Every student who came out of it went straight to the Security Administration, reaching the sky in one step!

On the way, although Li Chenqiu repeated his strength several times, Zhu Cheng insisted on denying it and kept asking.

Later, Li Chenqiu simply stopped talking. What was there to say if others didn't believe it?

...

...

Behind the Special Abilities Division's office building, there was a square the size of several football fields.

The ground of the square was paved with black steel, which was hot and scorching under the sun.

High-end-looking instruments were placed all over the square, and neatly dressed staff stood beside each instrument, seemingly adjusting something.

At this time, a large group of people of all shapes and sizes, and of different ages, gathered in a corner of the square, discussing in clusters.

"I wonder if my ability can reach a D this time. If it's a D, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life!"

"Keep dreaming! You think your ability can be rated a D? In your dreams!"

"Be polite when you speak. I heard that the people in charge of recruiting from various academies are watching here."

"I heard that there are several elemental ability users among us, and one very powerful special ability user."

"What's the use of caring about those things? Just be a background board."

The crowd talked, their faces more or less showing some tension.

At the same time, a figure walked in from the entrance of the square. This person was Li Chenqiu.

Because the energy field test did not allow unrelated personnel to enter, Zhu Cheng could only go to the screening room to watch Li Chenqiu's performance.

Li Chenqiu stood in place and glanced at the crowd gathered together, his deep eyes without any waves.

Too weak. His sixth sense told him that all these people combined couldn't beat him.

"No wonder the Special Abilities Division is so incompetent. It turns out that not only is the director rotten, but the people below are also weak," Li Chenqiu murmured softly, then leaned against the wall alone, closing his eyes to rest.

The reason Li Chenqiu said this was not because he had too much time on his hands, but because he wanted to test whether the screening room over there could hear what he was saying.

The reason he didn't call directly to ask was because the staff told him that his phone had to be on silent and couldn't be taken out after entering, so he had to turn on silent vibration mode.

If they could hear what he said over there, Zhu Cheng should send him a text message or call him, and his phone would naturally vibrate.

As Li Chenqiu expected, the number plate he was holding was a small microphone, and with the full coverage of surveillance in the square, his words and his appearance were now being projected onto the screening room.

Special Abilities Division Screening Room

In front of the huge screen, hundreds of people sat quietly inside, and Li Chenqiu's voice echoed in the hall through the speakers.

After this scene switched, everyone's eyes gathered on Gong Ran, who was sitting in the second row.

Gong Ran rubbed his nose awkwardly, swiping back and forth on his phone's main interface, showing a thoughtful look.

At this moment, Gong Ran finally experienced what it meant to be sitting on pins and needles, as it was said on TV. It was really too torturous.

Zhang Kong, who was sitting next to him, leaned into Gong Ran's ear and asked, "Director, do you want me to handle it?"

"Handle what? What an interesting kid!"

Before Gong Ran could speak, Ma Tianjiu, who was sitting in the first row, said dissatisfiedly.

This person was the teacher in charge of recruiting from the War Academy.

"That's some real arrogance. Switch the screen back to that kid, I want to see him!" Xu Yi of Long Night Academy also said with a smile.

"What's wrong? You want this kid?" Ma Tianjiu asked suspiciously.

Xu Yi shook his head with some disappointment after flipping through the information booklet in his hand and seeing Li Chenqiu's ability: "Divine Strength, amplifying strength, the upper limit of the ability is too low."

Gao Xing, the person in charge of Changwu Academy, raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What an ordinary ability. I thought he had a very powerful special ability like Qi Mingyue. I was overthinking it."

While the big shots in the front row were talking and laughing, Zhu Cheng in the back was sweating profusely.

At this time, Zhu Cheng was holding his phone and constantly bombarding Li Chenqiu with text messages.

Like Zhu Cheng, Gong Ran was also very flustered at this time, staring nervously at the screen, for fear that Li Chenqiu would say something that made him restless.
