Within the territory of the Great Wilderness Duchy.

Lin You quickly led the siblings to the Teleportation Gate.

After filtering through the interface, he took out two Territory Transfer Certificates and handed them to the two.

"Hold onto these. Once you reach your destination, if you have time, go look for Zong Lei in Central Plains City and tell him I introduced you. I’ll also ask him to help watch over you."

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Thank you, Senior."

The siblings gratefully accepted the certificates, holding them tightly in their hands, looking somewhat excited.

After surviving in harsh environments for so long, they can finally lead a stable life.

The joy on their faces was uncontrollable.

Next.

Lin You gave each of the siblings 200,000 Magic Energy as initial resources.

Only then did he send them through the Teleportation Gate of the Great Wilderness Kingdom to teleport away.

Now, 200,000 is nothing to Lin You.

But for a newly advanced Tier Six Lord, it’s a huge sum.

Thinking back to when he first arrived at the Primordial Continent, he was worried about a few thousand Magic Energy and knew the hardship of lacking resources.

With these 200,000 resources, it’s enough for the two to recruit species initially and stabilize their territory situation.

"Alright, let’s continue working."

After sending them off, Lin You immediately spoke to the few subordinates nearby.

Then, work in all areas began intensifying, continuing the testing for the remaining new lords.

And that previous A-level youth, because the Wuji Duchy offered the most generous conditions, finally joined the Wuji Duchy.

This made the representatives of the Duchies secretly relieved.

Because Lin You doesn’t compete for every newcomer above C-level.

Otherwise, they might really have little chance.

"Undead Type, comprehensive evaluation E-level..."

"Humanoid Type, comprehensive evaluation E-level..."

"Beast Type, comprehensive evaluation D-level..."

Each returned to their positions, and the voices of those responsible began to gradually echo on the platform, starting a new round of testing.

Meanwhile, the newcomers below were discussing the events, their faces full of anticipation.

All were imagining if they could become the next person to be recruited by all the chief examiners.

But the fact was.

No noteworthy newcomers appeared even after half a day, as if potential had run out, only occasionally a C-level appeared.

Still far from reaching a level that warranted chief examiners to step in personally.

"Sir, after half a day’s recruitment, we have recruited 1 B-level, 2 C-level, 7 D-level, 23 E-level, and 1 F-level."

"Including 1 specially recruited by you, a total of 35 people."

Lin You sat at the chief examiner position, listening to his subordinate’s report.

Recruiting so many in half a day, including two C-levels, was already very good.

After all, there were over a hundred Duchies competing on the platform.

No matter how many new lords, once dispersed, only this few remain.

Whether they could recruit them depended entirely on their abilities.

Moreover, Lin You also realized that the overall quality of newcomers this time was significantly higher than when he first came here.

He wondered if it was because of the substantial resource allocation.

Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of something falling interrupted his thoughts.

A test instrument from the hand of a distant responsible person fell heavily to the ground, both eyes wide open, face full of shock.

"S... S-level, S-level evaluation, has appeared!"

Like a duck being pinched by the neck, the voice spread across the entire platform.

Originally chatting, all the nation chief examiners jolted upright.

"What did you say? S-level evaluation!?"

"This grade of evaluation appeared??" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Where? Where is the person evaluated as S-level?"

At this moment.

The entire platform was ablaze with excitement.

Because it’s the first time in nearly a decade that an S-level evaluation appeared in Duchy recruitment.

The talent of this grade even surpassed many peer-aged old lords, making it hard not to be shocked.

Under everyone’s pursuit, a cold and proud teenager with a long sword on his back slowly walked down from the test stage.

It was the person who had just been evaluated as S-level!

Unlike the arrogant youth with A-level before.

This teenager’s arrogance was more about inner solitude.

A cold and indifferent face, as if refusing anyone from afar.

Moreover, he exuded a murderous aura distinct from other newcomers, like a beast out of its cage, visibly a survivor from a heap of corpses.

"A promising candidate!"

Even the discerning chief examiner of the Moonlight Kingdom couldn’t help but exclaim.

Apparently attracted by the youth’s solitary aura.

Not just him.

Almost all the chief examiners of the platform, over a hundred, rushed over.

Because successfully recruiting this S-level genius meant over-fulfilling their quotas.

Once returning, they would certainly receive generous rewards from the King!

Just for this reason, it was enough to mobilize them all.

And those Tier Seven responsible individuals realized and retreated, giving way.

They all understood this was beyond their level.

Next.

It would be a contest between Duchies and Duchies, chief examiners and chief examiners!

The lively scene immediately attracted all the outside newcomers, surrounding them, pointing and discussing softly.

"I know that person, we’re in the same area. From the first day, they’ve occupied the top spot on the leaderboard and have never fallen off!"

"What a coincidence, I’m also in that area, and I’ve even seen them in action. When they were Tier Four, they single-handedly wiped out all the Lords who opposed them nearby."

"Damn! That’s fierce! Are they even human?"

"Not sure if they’re human, but we all call them a madman, and basically no one dares to provoke them."

"I heard it’s because someone important to them was killed by other Lords at the beginning, that’s why they went berserk, even saying stuff like wanting to reach the peak of this world and kill the one who created it."

"That’s so wild!"

The discussions among the new Lords were heard by Lin You word for word.

It made him somewhat surprised.

It seems this young man has gone through quite a lot of darkness during the Newbie Stage.

Even through the crowd, he could sense a solitary presence and hatred, as if he loathes everything in this world.

Though, thinking about it, it’s understandable.

Being thrown here for no reason, then witnessing a close one being killed.

That sense of powerlessness and pain.

If anyone has a fragile mind, they probably couldn’t endure it.

Especially since he’s just a young man under twenty.

"How about it? Younger Brother Lin, are you interested?"

Beside him, the Moonlight Sovereign asked quietly, looking rather excited.

"Naturally, I won’t hold back later." Lin You replied with a smile.

"Haha, I have the same intention, it’s all up to our own abilities."

After saying that, the two didn’t stand around anymore and quickly followed the other chief examiners into the crowd, observing the young man closely.

Honestly.

Lin You really liked the aura emanating from the young man.

Though he seemed somewhat arrogant, the indomitable spirit within him was undeniable.

And the more someone is like that, the more single-minded they are.

They don’t deal with those complicated matters.

That’s one of the reasons he liked him.

Coincidentally, among the three cities surrounding Yellow Sand City, only Meng Qing’an of Shuangye City remains, while the other two cities are still empty.

If the other party is willing, he hopes they could develop near Yellow Sand City, and gradually become a confidant.

And at this moment.

The chief examiners of various duchies began to talk about the advantages of their duchies, continually offering olive branches to the young man.

The whole scene was like a marketplace.

Because they all knew.

Having an initial S-level rating, as long as they don’t perish prematurely, they will definitely become a Tier Nine Lord in the future.

There’s even a slight chance of reaching Tier Ten!

If they succeed in recruiting him, when he grows up, he will at least remember the favor of recruitment and treat them kindly.

It seems like a win-win deal.

So the conditions they offered were so exaggerated that those Tier Seven officials were quite envious.

"Join our Dragon Head Duchy, I can arrange for you to inherit the territory left by a Tier Seven Lord, and help you take control of the territory."

"Don’t listen to them, come to Zongheng Duchy, I’ll directly arrange a territory near the capital for you, the resources are absolutely top-notch!"

"Tell us your demands, whatever they are, Fushen Duchy can fulfill them!"

"Yes, tell us what you want."

In the end, the chief examiners stopped competing and turned to ask the young man’s wishes.

The boy surrounded in the center showed no signs of being intimidated, nor did he reveal any fear.

After looking around at the chief examiners, he finally spoke in a low voice: "I have only one demand, I’ll join if you’re the strongest!"

The strongest?

The chief examiners were taken aback, their brows gradually furrowing.

Though they were confident, they couldn’t claim their duchies were the strongest.

Even if they said so, others probably wouldn’t agree.

This put them in a bit of a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed.

But just then, a calm voice suddenly arose from the crowd.

"It’s hard to say which is the strongest duchy, but if you’re looking for the strongest chief examiner, that would be me."

The crowd parted, and Lin You slowly emerged.

Seeing him appear, the pupils of the chief examiners suddenly contracted, a sense of foreboding arising in their hearts.

And the new Lords who were watching from the sidelines exploded entirely.

"Did you hear that? He actually said he’s the strongest of all chief examiners?"

"Seems like that’s exactly what he said."

"How bold, dare to say such things in front of so many chief examiners."

"There are over a hundred chief examiners here, isn’t he afraid of inciting public anger?"

"No, look at the reaction from the other chief examiners!"

"Huh? What’s going on? No one stood up to refute?"

This shocked the new Lords even more.

They stared wide-eyed at Lin You walking out from the crowd, and noticed the reactions of the other chief examiners.

It’s as if...

They’ve accepted it?

This is too much!

"Damn it! Why is he here too!"

"This makes things a bit difficult..."

The chief examiners looked sombre seeing Lin You appear.

Yet no one dared to refute his words.

But for this rare S-level genius, some did stand up.

"Even if you’re strong, so what? Our Great Wilderness Duchy is at most mid-to-lower among all the duchies."

"Yes, in terms of national power, aren’t we all stronger than you?"

"Absolutely! Compared to the Great Wilderness Duchy, we can offer more resources for development!"

"Territory development isn’t just about personal strength!"
