Lin Yuan appeared pensive.

Sparring with Evolvers of different Evolution Paths had significantly increased the efficiency of Lin Yuan's Enlightenment.

Especially in terms of perfecting Martial Tao, since Lin Yuan intended to transcend the limitations of Taiyin Taiyin, accommodating all the Daos in the world,

then exchanging blows with numerous Evolvers, sensing their Daos and paths, evidently had a certain progressive effect.

"Might as well, since I'm free anyway."

Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the Virtual World and entered the arena area.

The Virtual World contained many areas: living areas, trading areas, Central Plaza Areas, and the arena area.

The arena area was specially designed for Evolvers to spar with each other.

Every session of the Cosmic Human Alliance's arena competition was held in the arena area.

Of course, only Evolvers under a hundred years old could participate in the arena competition.

As for those over a hundred, those truly powerful Evolvers, Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank? If they wished to spar, they would choose the arena area.

"Registering..."

"Strength... Fifth Rank, twelve segments, beginning soul fusion metamorphosis..."

"Identity... hidden...."

Lin Yuan entered the arena area, disguised as a wandering Evolver traveling through the universe, and began selecting opponents.

"Hmm, this person has been undergoing soul fusion metamorphosis for over two hundred years, almost reaching ninety percent fusion, applying for a challenge..."

"And this person, from the Wanyang Lineage... a core holy son, no less significant than a Red Kun Lineage Peak Master, applying..."

"Unique physique, noble bloodline... about to step into Sixth Rank? Apply for a challenge quickly, otherwise, once he reaches Sixth Rank, I won't be able to apply..."

.....

Lin Yuan spent half a day selecting over a hundred opponents.

These hundred plus opponents were carefully chosen by Lin Yuan, and even if their strength didn't match his, the difference wasn't much.

They could definitely put pressure on Lin Yuan.

And the Evolution Paths of these people were extremely rare and special, which had a good stimulating effect on Lin Yuan.

...

After applying for challenges one by one,

Lin Yuan began to wait.

At this moment, the voice of the smart assistant rang, "Master, Governor Song Wuyang would like to see you."

Virtual World, personal space.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

Before long,

Song Wuyang also materialized in front of him.

"We've finally gotten over this crisis without any danger..."

A trace of relief appeared on Song Wuyang's face.

As a Planetary Governor, if Canglan Star experienced economic regression or other negative impacts during his tenure,

it would cause a disastrous blow to his political achievements.

Fortunately, everything had ended.

Under Fang Qing's leadership, numerous powers began to re-trade with Canglan Star, and even through these connections, Canglan Star unexpectedly embarked on a development beyond what was anticipated.

It was a blessing in disguise.

"If it hadn't been for Lord Fang Qing this time, we really would have been in trouble."

Governor Song Wuyang said.

"Indeed."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In fact, Lin Yuan didn't feel much of it himself; even if the outside criticism was loud, he could ignore it all.

But his parents and sister had to endure some 'cyber violence', so Fang Qing's willingness to stand up,

even though he didn't bring substantial help to Lin Yuan, at least eased the psychological pressure on the family.

For this, Lin Yuan was quite grateful.

"Lord Fang Qing stepping in was entirely out of the friendship with you, Mr. Lin. I hope you'll interact more in the future..."

Governor Song Wuyang suggested with an implication.

The implication was that he hoped Lin Yuan would get closer to Fang Qing, because there was no guarantee that Fang Qing would be willing to step forth next time.

Lin Yuan's expression remained calm.

He knew that Song Wuyang's words had no malice, they were entirely from his own perspective.

Having finally held onto a powerful benefactor, it was natural to hold on tightly, especially members of the Red Kun Lineage like Fang Qing, who might become significant figures of the entire Star Domain in the future.

Song Wuyang chatted with Lin Yuan for a while and then got up to leave.

Now that Canglan Star's trade routes had just been rebuilt, too many issues required his attention as the Governor.

Disconnecting his consciousness from the Virtual World,

Lin Yuan walked out of the main building to the grass field outside.

"Brother..."

Sister Lin Yi, standing on a shield-shaped weapon and using her thought power to control it, flew over.

"That Heiyu Ao really is petty, pressuring Canglan Star just because you didn't accept his offer. Well, isn't he embarrassed now?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but comment.

"But it's good, brother's friend is capable. Many of my girlfriends are envious of brother for having made such a great friend."

Lin Yi continued.

```

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan's expression remained calm.

In this period, along with the quelling of public opinion, Lin Yi had also gotten some of her resentment out.

...

Virtual World.

Fang Qing and Lin Yuan sat facing each other.

"There isn't much left to worry about," Fang Qing said.

"Heiyu Ao doesn't seem to be causing any trouble right now, they probably don't dare to come up with any ideas."

Having said this, Fang Qing stared at Lin Yuan and continued, "Big Brother Lin, are you interested in joining the Red Kun Lineage?"

"I will have a 'referral' spot available soon, which I can give to you."

The channels for joining the Red Kun Lineage weren't limited to the challenges of the Seven Star Cave, there were many official means of entry.

'Referral' was one of the simplest.

Every hundred years, every official member of the Red Kun Lineage gets one chance to refer.

That is to recommend other Evolvers to join the Red Kun Lineage.

Of course, Evolvers who join the Red Kun Lineage via 'referral' are only the lowest tier peripheral members.

They must pass numerous challenges to continue staying with the Red Kun Lineage.

Naturally, even with a referral, for most Evolvers, it's an opportunity that's hard to come by.

After all, this is the Red Kun Lineage, the supreme ruler of the Chikun Star Domain.

Even just staying inside for a few years is a brag-worthy qualification.

"Referral..."

Lin Yuan fell into thought.

As the Peak Master of Chikun's rigorous Thirteen Peaks, did he even need a referral?

"Big Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Although Fang Qing did not know the source of Lin Yuan's confidence to reject the recruitment offer from Heiyu Ao,

due to their relationship, Fang Qing still wanted to give Lin Yuan a helping hand.

"With Big Brother Lin's direction, after joining the Red Kun Lineage, although only as a peripheral member, with my support and your talent, becoming an official member later on won't be difficult," said Fang Qing.

Fang Qing considered Lin Yuan's situation thoroughly.

"Let's talk about it another time," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay."

Fang Qing nodded.

...

"Young master,"

"The two hundred and twenty-two Evolvers you intended to recruit have all agreed and signed the contract," said the old man in a black suit, Bei Zhao, respectfully addressing Heiyu Ao, who sat upon the throne.

"Then proceed with the next step in the plan, to provide specialized training for these two hundred and twenty-two Evolvers, so that their strength increases by at least forty percent before the next arena competition starts," said Heiyu Ao.

"Yes."

Bei Zhao responded and then disappeared on the spot.

"Two hundred and twenty-two Evolvers..."

Heiyu Ao fell silent; there should have been two hundred and twenty-three Evolvers.

It was just that Lin Yuan had rejected the recruitment, and Heiyu Ao originally planned to use cutting off trade to force the other party to bow down.

But then Fang Qing popped up unexpectedly.

"Just you wait, as long as I can pass the family's test and return to take my place as the family head, you will all have to pay the price," Heiyu Ao muttered to himself.

...

On Canglan Star's Central Mainland, in a manor.

The training ground beneath the main building.

Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the Virtual World, entering the arena area.

"Let's see if anyone has approved the applications..."

A few hours ago, Lin Yuan had selected a large number of Evolvers with similar strength levels, aiming to challenge them to speed up the soul-bonding transformation.

"Hm?"

Upon opening the application list, Lin Yuan's brow suddenly furrowed.

Because he found that all of his applications had been rejected.

Rejected.

Rejected.

Rejected.

Still rejected.

Out of over a hundred applications, more than seventy had been rejected; the remaining thirty or forty, while not rejected, were not approved either, which was almost as bad as being rejected.

"They all rejected me?"

Lin Yuan blinked.

Was this the result of his first attempt to issue challenges?
