On an island within Shanhai City.

In front of the scientific research base.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, the teacher leading the team from Shanhai High School immediately took the students into the base.

Today, nearly 5,000 martial arts students from all over Shanhai City had come here for testing.

Being able to enter early to queue would save a lot of time.

Once inside the base.

Lin Zichen looked around curiously.

What caught his eye were various sophisticated instruments.

Filled with a sense of technology.

“Don’t just look around, while there are still not many students from other schools, and it’s not too crowded, everyone hurry up and line up at a testing window,” urged the teacher leading the Shanhai High School team.

Upon hearing this, the students hurriedly chose the less crowded testing windows to queue for their compatibility tests.

Lin Zichen, with Shen Qinghan in tow, casually picked a window where fewer people were lined up.

He Yu and Li Chuxin followed, lining up behind them.

“Xiao Chen, are those reagents inside used for testing the Genetic Fusion compatibility with the drifting jellyfish genes?” Shen Qinghan asked somewhat uncertainly as she looked at the test tubes filled with blue liquid inside the testing window.

Lin Zichen replied, “Yes, those are the drifting jellyfish gene reagents.”

The genes of the drifting jellyfish, an exotic beast, have a high affinity for the human body and can easily undergo a particular chemical reaction with human blood.

Therefore, they are used as reagents for testing Genetic Fusion compatibility.

The testing method is also quite straightforward––it involves drawing fresh blood from the examinees on-site and injecting it into the drifting jellyfish reagents to induce a chemical reaction.

Then, based on the reaction’s intensity, judges would determine whether the examinee is suitable for Genetic Fusion.

The compatibility tests started soon after.

First, they tested the Genetic Fusion compatibility; testing for mechanical modification compatibility would only occur later.

This arrangement could reduce a lot of unnecessary testing.

Normally, after examinees checked their Genetic Fusion compatibility and found satisfactory data, they wouldn’t bother with the mechanical modification compatibility test.

After all, mechanical modification is too inhuman for many; they can’t accept their body turning into steel.

For the vast majority of examinees, if they are compatible with Genetic Fusion, they definitely will not choose mechanical modification.

Even though Genetic Fusion changes your genes, you still have a body of flesh and blood––far better than cold steel.

As for whether there are people just curious and eager to know their mechanical modification compatibility, thus specifically going for the test.

There are indeed such people, but very few, almost negligible.

Because the compatibility test for mechanical modification is not as mild as the one for Genetic Fusion.

The mechanical modification compatibility test involves implanting a special alloy material into the human body.

During the process, the body will exhibit rejection reactions, causing extremely intense pain.

The level of pain is on par with that of childbirth.

About half an hour later.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had both had their blood drawn.

Next, they just needed to find a place to sit and wait for the results.

The results would be out in no longer than an hour.

As the two chatted and waited, many of the examinees who had their blood drawn earlier started to get their results one after another.

The results could be checked on their mobile phones.

Thus, the base soon filled with various shouts.

“8%! My Genetic Fusion compatibility is as high as 8%! Haha! Fortune favors me! I can become a Genetic Integrator!”

“Only 4%? Sigh, I knew I could never become a Genetic Integrator.”

“6%! Hiss! Thrilling! Just made it past the mark!”

Hearing these shouts, Lin Zichen too became curious, wanting to know what his own Genetic Fusion compatibility would be.

The standards for Genetic Fusion compatibility.

6% is passing.

8% is excellent.

10% is the level for the two prestigious schools.

These two prestigious schools refer to Kyoto University and Shanhai University.

Yes, the Shanhai University located right in Shanhai City.

Although the educational standards of Shanhai City are not high and don’t compare to many inland cities, it still boasts such a top-tier institution.

The reason lies in Shanhai City’s particularly strong economy.

Setting political status aside, Shanhai City has the country’s top economic level.

Genetic Fusion and mechanical modification are both costly fields.

Take Genetic Fusion, for example; cultivating a Genetic Integrator with a high Biological Level would cost a sum counted in billions.

Not one or two billion, but tens of billions.

Therefore, the economically developed Shanhai University was able to become one of the top two universities in the country.

To be admitted to the Evolution College of these two prestigious institutions, Genetic Fusion adaptability had to be at least 10%.

Otherwise, don’t even think about it.

Take that genius from Kyoto University, also known as that frequently marketed prodigy from Capital City, his Genetic Fusion adaptability reached a staggering 16%.

He belonged to the top echelon of the country.

Lin Zichen thought, without undergoing Genetic Fusion, his own physical strength was much higher than that Kyoto genius.

So, barring any surprises, his Genetic Fusion adaptability should be higher than 16%.

He estimated it could be close to 20%.

However, no matter how high that number was, it would be meaningless.

For someone with “Survival of the Fittest” as a biometric attribute, he was destined not to choose the path of Genetic Fusion.

Why fuse when you could directly devour?

There was absolutely no need for it.

“Xiao Chen, I can’t take it, I’m so nervous.”

Shen Qinghan looked at Lin Zichen helplessly, her hands shaking violently, and her legs going weak.

At this moment, there was not a hint of curiosity in her heart, only fear.

Fear that her Genetic Fusion adaptability was not high.

“It’s okay, being nervous is normal.”

Lin Zichen took Shen Qinghan’s hands to calm her down.

In fact, he was also a bit afraid, afraid that Shen Qinghan’s Genetic Fusion adaptability would not be high enough to get accepted into any of the two top schools and continue being his classmate.

From kindergarten to now, he had grown accustomed to school life with Shen Qinghan by his side.

The thought of not being at the same university was unbearable.

As for helping Shen Qinghan get in through the back door during college, like he did in middle and high school, that would be too harmful.

It could very well make Shen Qinghan, who had just started to become confident, become self-doubting and introverted again.

“10%! My god! I can’t believe I got into one of the two top schools!”

Li Chuxin, who was sitting not far away, suddenly leapt up in excitement.

Her grades were among the worst in class, and she never dreamed of getting into one of these top schools. She just hoped to get into a top ten university, but she unexpectedly exceeded her own expectations.

“Damn it! How come it’s only 11%?!”

Contrary to Li Chuxin, He Yu, looking at the score displayed on his phone, had a face full of disappointment, feeling as if his life had dimmed.

He believed he was at a 12% level, even capable of reaching 13%.

But the result was only 11%, only 1% more than Li Chuxin, the bottom of the class. Now he was truly at a loss.

Hearing the two of them talk, Lin Zichen knew that his and Shen Qinghan’s results were out.

He said to Shen Qinghan, “The scores for He Yu and Chu Xin, who ranked after us, are out, so ours must be too. Check quickly and see.”

Shen Qinghan shook her head, nervously saying, “I don’t dare to look, you check yours first. After you’re done, you help me check.”

“Alright, I’ll help you check afterwards.”

After speaking, Lin Zichen logged into the Nanjiang Province college entrance examination website to check his results.

At that moment, He Yu and Li Chuxin, who weren’t far away, gathered around, curious about how high his score would be.

Soon, the score was retrieved.

Genetic Fusion adaptability: 15%.

“15%, that’s so high, if nothing unusual happens this should be the highest in Nanjiang Province,” said Li Chuxin with a face full of envy.

He Yu commented, “15%? It’s about what I expected.”

Shen Qinghan said with a joyful face, “Xiao Chen, with that score, you should be the provincial top scholar for sure.”

She felt happy for Lin Zichen.

Unlike the other three, Lin Zichen was not very satisfied with this score.

Only 15%, too low, not even surpassing that Kyoto genius.

It seemed that physical strength was not the only determining factor for a high adaptability.

There were other various factors influencing it.

After steadying his emotions a bit, Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan and said, “Han Han, it’s your turn to check.”

“Alright, check it for me,” said Shen Qinghan, her voice revealing a trace of nervousness.

Li Chuxin, noticing Shen Qinghan’s state, comforted her, “Don’t worry, Han Han, even I, the one at the bottom, got 10%, you definitely can too!”

He Yu also offered comforting words, “Yeah, team member, you’re one of the top students in our class, getting into the top schools is a sure thing, there won’t be any surprises!”

“Yeah, I’m confident,” Shen Qinghan smiled at them, but was still very nervous.

Without saying anything, Lin Zichen silently logged into Shen Qinghan’s examinee portal and clicked to view her score.

Then the next second, a number appeared that was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Genetic Fusion adaptability: 21%.
