To be stepped on in the mud and then climb up from the mud, there will always be tomorrow, and there will always be a future.
He Ning and He Yuan looked at each other and smiled. After resting for a while, they returned to the training room.
Everyone was working hard, so they couldn't fall behind.
[Countdown to Final Assessment: Four Months]
A huge metal block was lifted, suspended in the air for a few seconds, and then thrown far away.
When the metal block landed on the ground, a circle of cracks appeared on the ground, spreading densely in all directions.
Such cracks had already appeared densely in this specially developed training ground.
The thrown metal block already had many dents and scratches from impact.
The dull gray metal block was not ordinary metal; it was the densest metal known in the galaxy. This meant that for the same size, this metal had the greatest weight.
A metal block of this size weighed at least several hundred catties, even approaching a thousand catties.
A child, not much larger than the metal block, clapped his hands and took a sip of water handed to him by a servant. It was the young master of Giant God Star, Leiva.
He frowned as he stared at the metal block, seemingly still not satisfied. Amin and Aliang could hold the metal block for a full minute, but he could only last for fifty-odd seconds before giving up.
Amin sat aside, smiling, "Young Master, you've made great progress. It's about 4.5 seconds more than last time."
Aliang nodded, asked the servants standing by to leave, held his water, and said, "Young Master, there's no need to rush."
The Giant God clan placed great importance on bloodline purity, as this allowed the heir to possess the most powerful divine power. Leiva had been the destined heir of the Giant God clan since birth.
The chosen heir was also the most talented on the entire Giant God Star. Once he began to inherit divine power and learn how to use it, he would be the undisputed number one person on Giant God Star.
However, in the past, Leiva would rather play pranks than train.
No one, whether it was Amin, Aliang, Leiva's parents, or the elders of Giant God Star, could bear to force Leiva.
But in the past few months, Leiva had suddenly begun to study diligently.
His talent was undeniably far beyond anyone's reach. In just a few months of study, he was almost catching up to Amin and Aliang, who had been learning since childhood.
But Leiva was still not satisfied with this.
He sat cross-legged on the grass, propping his chin on his hand, his chin forming a small bulge of flesh. He sighed deeply:
"This is too slow."
Amin rested his hands behind him and looked up at the sky. The weather was good today, the clouds were light, and the wind was gentle. His mood was also very good:
"Is Young Master worried about the final assessment?"
Leiva nodded lazily: "Yes. Luoluo and the others are working very hard. If I can't do anything by then, won't I be holding them back?"
A smile flashed in Amin's eyes, but he deliberately said:
"We are happy that Young Master is working hard, but it's just a final assessment. It's okay even if you don't get good results."
Leiva sat up in surprise and looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"
The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He flipped over from the ground and stood looking down at Amin, his brows furrowed tightly:
"How can you say that? We've already formed a small team, and everyone is working hard. Is it proper for me to give up directly?
Or do you two think that even if I start trying now, it will be useless because I haven't practiced before? Do you think our team will lose?"
Leiva pursed his lips tightly, his eyes almost turning red with anger. He regretted not studying properly in the past and now being ridiculed by these two people who had grown up with him.
He was so angry. How could Amin speak so irresponsibly?
Leiva crossed his arms and ignored Amin and Aliang, walking to a spot further away to sit down, still thinking about how he could use the most divine power in the shortest amount of time.
Amin and Aliang exchanged glances, seeing happiness in each other's eyes.
The two walked over and sat down beside Leiva. Leiva was still angry and said sarcastically, "Oh, it's just a normal assessment, no need to rush. Why are you two coming to find me?"
Amin leaned closer to Leiva, smiling: "I'm happy that our young master has finally grown up."
Leiva was stunned: "What did you say..."
Amin counted on his fingers: "Before attending primary school, Young Master never took classes arranged by the tutor. But in the past few months, Young Master has almost surpassed both of us.
In the past, Young Master was always playing pranks, but since the fight with Ye Muluoqi, Young Master has not intentionally teased anyone again.
And, hasn't Young Master noticed it himself? The Young Master of the past never had such fighting spirit or sense of responsibility."
A child who had been doted on since childhood, Leiva rarely thought of others proactively.
But now, he was starting to do things he wouldn't have done before because he wanted to win games with his friends.
Young Master was different now.
Leiva was also stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he found his voice again: "I don't want others to think that I, the young master of Giant God Star, am a burden. It's not for others."
Amin nodded with a smile. Although he was only a year older than Leiva, he looked at him like an elder, his eyes full of relief.
"So, Young Master, we will definitely win."
Leiva stood up and stretched his wrists: "Of course, we will win!"
[Countdown to Final Assessment: Two Months]
Mo Jue finally assembled his team.
The team had a total of eight members, just meeting the minimum requirement for team formation. Mo Jue also asked Shi Shen if he wanted to find two more teammates, as this might increase their chances of winning.
Shi Shen refused. The people he chose were all children from garbage planets or border planets. These children might not have the heritage of major races, but they were definitely ruthless.
As long as they were given enough benefits, they would fear no death. Moreover, with Shi Shen, a great killer, around, they would not betray him even if they regretted it.
With these pawns sent to their deaths in the front, it was enough.
