No one knows when it started, but everyone was desperately leveling up and fighting for equipment.
Just as everyone's spirits were high, governments around the world announced a brand new test.
This test, once released, completely overturned people's perception of reality.
"Have you heard? The government has released a new test. The previous rating test is still ongoing, but after reaching level 50, there's another test. Currently, only Dou Youyou has reached level 50. I wonder if she's taken it!"
"I'm not sure. The news about this test was just announced. It probably won't be that soon, after all, only Dou Youyou has the qualification to take the test!"
Within the Heavenly God Sect, all eyes were on Dou Youyou.
"Where is our boss, Dou Youyou? Has she gone for the test? The test notification was just released, and players at level 50 can go for another test!"
Dou Youyou had also received the test message, but she had no intention of going for it yet.
"Master, what exactly is this new test? Why is there no official notification? It just says that after reaching level 50, we need to go for another test!"
Zhang Pingfan knew perfectly well because the system's young lady had already told him.
"The previous test was to assess strength. Your strength rating was Heavenly grade. After level 50, there will be another test. This test is to rate your current ability level. The level 30 test was equivalent to testing your talent. Level 50 tests your current ability level. There are many levels for this test. According to the system's prompts, they are: Apprentice, Novice Warrior, Intermediate Warrior, Advanced Warrior, Novice General, Intermediate General, Advanced General, Novice War God, Intermediate War God, Advanced War God, Peak War God, and Beyond War God! Of course, there are levels above Beyond War God, but humans currently cannot access that series!"
"So many! What level are you at, Master?"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head. He didn't really know either, as he hadn't undergone the test. Moreover, the system's young lady had said that the current human test levels were not yet worthy of him. So, according to Zhang Pingfan's own estimation, he should be at the Beyond War God level.
"Then, Master, what level do you think I am?"
Dou Youyou's current abilities allow her to kill King-tier demon servants, so her ability level is at least that of a Novice War God.
According to the level prompts provided by the system's young lady, Novice demon servants correspond to Intermediate Warriors, Intermediate demon servants correspond to Novice Generals, Advanced demon servants correspond to Advanced Generals, and King-tier demon servants correspond to Novice War Gods.
Based on Dou Youyou's current abilities, she belongs to the Novice War God level. This level is already quite remarkable; ordinary people truly cannot reach this level.
However, Zhang Pingfan's disciples are basically all at the Novice War God level. But Dou Youyou should be a bit higher.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be a Novice War God or an Intermediate War God!"
"Am I amazing?"
Seeing Dou Youyou's proud expression, Zhang Pingfan couldn't help but pinch her.
"Yes, you are amazing, but no matter how amazing you are, you're not as amazing as your Master. When do you plan to go for the test? Everyone is waiting for your test results!"
Dou Youyou thought for a moment.
"Although my abilities in the game are quite good, I have no abilities in reality. This test result definitely won't be accurate!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "This test simulates your abilities in the game, so you don't need to worry that you don't have the same abilities in reality as you do in the game!"
"Oh, if that's the case, then you accompany me tomorrow! You mustn't miss such an important witness!"
"Yes, I'm also very curious about how this test is conducted."
Upon hearing that Dou Youyou would be going for the test the next day, it immediately sparked countless speculations.
Because the officials had not yet disclosed what the results of the test would be like to any player, everyone's guesses were wild and varied.
Especially the members of the Heavenly God Sect, their discussions were the most intense. After all, Dou Youyou was the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly God Sect. Besides the Village Chief, Dou Youyou was the most prominent figure.
"I think everyone will witness history very soon!"
"As the first person to achieve Heavenly grade, Dou Youyou's test this time will definitely not be bad!"
"Nonsense, if it weren't for the Village Chief's cultivation from the beginning, Dou Youyou wouldn't have reached this point. So, it's impossible for her to be bad!"
"The officials are really playing with our expectations. They haven't announced what this test is all about yet!"
"Exactly. We players have to guess. Moreover, there's only one player who has reached level 50 right now. This is really whetting our appetite!"
On the level leaderboard, Dou Youyou was currently at level 50, the highest. The second place was still Apocalypse Emperor, currently at level 49.
Closely following was Chang Sheng, who had recently surged forward. Because these guys had consumed double experience pills given to them by the Pingjiang City Lord, his level increased the fastest.
Chang Sheng was also at level 49. His experience bar was just not as full as Apocalypse Emperor's.
The top 10 players were all at level 49. All players outside the top ten were at level 48, and the number of level 48 players was unknown.
It wouldn't be long before more people broke through to level 49 and 50. At that time, people's enthusiasm would likely surge again because then level 50 players could undergo another test. If the test results were made public, all players would probably be unable to sit still.
Although this entire system was very common in the universe, for humans, it was a brand new thing.
Especially when everyone knew the corresponding levels of demon servants to their own levels, people would likely be even more eager to improve their strength.
The next day, Dou Youyou, accompanied by Zhang Pingfan, returned to the place where she had her first awakening rating.
Seeing Dou Youyou arrive, the staff present were all nervous because they also didn't know what Dou Youyou's rating test would be like this time.
"Hello, Miss Dou Youyou, are you here for testing today?"
Dou Youyou nodded and said, "Yes, where should I test?"
"Please follow me. The testing environment is enclosed, so this gentleman cannot enter!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded.
"Okay, then I'll wait here!"
"You can watch Miss Dou Youyou's testing progress on this big screen."
Zhang Pingfan nodded, surprised that things had become so advanced.
Dou Youyou followed the staff through a very high-tech door and disappeared from Zhang Pingfan's sight.
As soon as she stepped inside, Dou Youyou was stunned by the facilities.
The full sense of technology was like stepping into a sci-fi movie.
