The massive sports field
fell into complete silence.
The students and faculty of Dongli University
still hadn’t recovered
from what they had just witnessed.
It was shocking enough
that Evan had completed his second evolution
right after entering the university—
but now he had actually defeated Ethan Frost,
a long‑established Master‑Class elite?
In the centuries‑long history of Dongli University,
this had never happened.
A freshman defeating the examiner
in the first round of the freshman assessnt?
Impossible.
Unthinkable.
Yet it had just happened.
The examiners were always Master‑Class elites—
even if they hadn’t absorbed three extracts,
their skill configurations were top‑tier,
far beyond ordinary evolvers of the sa tier.
A normal freshman,
even one who had completed the second evolution,
could never defeat a Master‑Class student.
This ant one thing:
Evan Cole was already among the strongest of the Cocoon‑tier.
And everyone knew—
just last month,
during the Judgnt Battle,
Evan had still been Chrysalis‑tier.
Which ant:
The mont he entered Cocoon‑tier,
he was already stronger
than most Cocoon‑tier evolvers.
And he wasn’t even eighteen yet.
Everyone present
clearly realized—
A true prodigy of Dongli was rising.
Even Evan’s fangirls,
who usually worshipped him blindly,
were staring at each other in disbelief.
Their expressions said:
“My god…
our boy is THAT strong?”
Hannah Keane’s eyes sparkled like stars.
Her “Evan‑worship value” skyrocketed—
if it was 10 before,
it was now 100.
(Though her worship of Wendy Lewis
was still at 10,000.)
🧓 VIP Seating — President Winston Hale
In the VIP seating area,
President Winston Hale
sat speechless.
Suddenly,
he understood why Evan
didn’t want to join the Combat Departnt.
What would be the point?
He’d graduate the mont he arrived.
He’d be directly recomnded
to the Master Class.
And then what?
With Evan’s evolution speed,
how long could he even stay there?
Two years?
One year?
Would he be able to beat up
the Combat Departnt director
after a year?
Winston Hale turned to the teacher
who had been recording the entire fight.
“Send the battle footage
to President Hale.”
He couldn’t be the only one shocked.
President Hale needed to see

what kind of monster
they had admitted.
And also—
to prepare for the financial bleeding.
Evan was Cocoon‑tier now.
The first‑place reward
had to be upgraded
to a Tier‑3 S‑grade extract.
…
🏟️ On the Arena Stage
The remaining freshn
looked at each other blankly.
What were they supposed to do now?
The examiner had been knocked out.
How were they supposed to continue?
Evan scanned the group
of twenty‑sothing survivors.
“If you guys don’t mind,
I’ll take first place for this assessnt.
I won’t participate in Round Two.
“Of course,
if you think it’s unfair,
you can all attack together.
If you beat ,
I’ll withdraw.”
Evan genuinely felt
that fighting these freshn
was pointless.
None of them were even
peak Chrysalis‑tier.
It would be like bullying children
and wasting his ti.
His injuries from the fight
had already healed.
He could knock out half the stage
with one Raging Myriad Tides.
“I have no objections!”
one student imdiately said.
“ neither!”
“Sounds reasonable.”
“Agreed!”
Unanimous approval.
Not a single objection.
President Winston Hale
stepped onto the field
to restore order
and officially announced:
Evan Cole — First Place
of the Freshman Assessnt
The rankings for second to eighth place
would be decided through
one‑on‑one matches—
but that had nothing to do with Evan.
The assessnt continued,
but Evan had already left early,
with FangBro escorting him
back to the villa.
🏡 Back at the Villa
“Boss, you’re incredible!”
FangBro said sincerely—
though his heart ached.
They were both Cocoon‑tier now,
yet he was still just
“Fang the Runner.”
Wendy Lewis was busy
and not at ho.
Aunt Yvonne was dancing in the yard.
Seeing Evan return, she asked:
“So fast?
Don’t tell you got eliminated
in the first round?”
Aunt Yvonne had full confidence in Evan
and assud he’d get first place,
so she didn’t bother watching the assessnt.
Evan replied:
“I beat the examiner in Round One.
The other freshn worshipped
and voted first place on the spot.
So I ca ho early.”
Aunt Yvonne:
“…?”
Was that even human language?
Why did she feel like
she didn’t understand a word?
Evan was already daydreaming.
“I wonder what extract
the school will reward with…”
🏛️ Dongli University — President’s Office
President Winston Hale
watched the battle footage
on his phone
and fell into deep thought.
“This kid…
he has the makings of a future overlord.
No—
even when I was young,
I wasn’t this fierce.
“But I was a ntal‑type evolver.
I spent my youth doing research,
not fighting.
That’s normal.
“But Graham Sterling and the others…”
He thought carefully.
Among Dongli’s current Saint‑tier powerhouses,
none had achieved such feats
at Evan’s age.
None had completed the second evolution
at seventeen.
He forwarded the video
to a group chat nad:
‘Guardians of Dongli’
There were only four mbers—
Dongli’s four Saint‑tier overlords:
Graham Sterling
Winston Hale
Ethan Graves
Elias Storm
After sending the video,
Winston Hale smiled in satisfaction.
But then he suddenly froze.
Evan had completed his second evolution
and won first place.
That ant
the school had to reward him
with a Tier‑3 S‑grade extract.
In all previous years,
first place had always been Chrysalis‑tier,
so although the rule said
“reward an S‑grade extract
matching the winner’s evolution tier,”
they had never actually given out
a Tier‑3 S‑grade extract.
A Tier‑2 S‑grade extract
cost around one billion.
A Tier‑3 S‑grade extract
cost at least thirty billion.
Thirty tis the price.
And Tier‑3 S‑grade extracts
weren’t even available for purchase—
they could only be exchanged
with EvolutionTech points.
Even though the extract
ca from the national treasury,
it still counted
against Dongli University’s budget.
“This year…
we’ll have to tighten our belts.”
Just then,
a ssage appeared
in the “Guardians of Dongli” group.
To Winston Hale’s surprise,
the first reply
ca from Elias Storm.
Elias Storm:
“So this is the Evan kid
you all ntioned before?
Not bad.
Perfect candidate
to be my granddaughter’s husband.”
