Steve suddenly thought of his mission to kill Collic, feeling that it seemed impossible to accomplish. Perhaps the army issued this mission, thinking that no one could accomplish it. Regardless, there would be no punishment if the mission was never accomplished.

"How much has my brain developed?" Steve asked.

"So far, 10%, so we have just pa.s.sed the pa.s.sing mark!" Judy said.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. He had been able to reach the pa.s.sing mark in three days. Thus, the seven-colored energy serum had really helped a lot!

"Don't celebrate too soon, as the real a.s.sessment has not started yet," Judy suddenly warned.

"Didn't I pa.s.s?" Steven asked.

"Well, 10% of the brain's development is just one indicator. The second indicator is your control of power. Next, I will arrange a practical exercise for you to defeat your opponent. I will then judge whether you pa.s.s or not, according to the amount of damage value that results," Judy said.

In fact, the main purpose of these a.s.sessments was not to judge whether Steve could become the new owner of the Apollo battles.h.i.+p, but to see if he was qualified to hatch the Star of Hope. If Steve failed to meet even the most basic qualifications, Judy would have no qualms about s.n.a.t.c.hing the seven-colored egg away from him to find another who could hatch it for her!

"Let's get started!" Steve was eager to begin. Ever since his brain had become more developed, he had wished to know exactly how much his strength had increased.

"Enter the first door, then you will meet your opponent," Judy said.

As the first door opened, Steve walked straight into it. Inside the first door was a huge s.p.a.ce, similar to the outside. There was no main brain system in the middle. In fact, there was nothing else there at all, except for a closed white door at the end.

Cras.h.!.+

Suddenly, a spiritual power surged in, then condensed into a beautiful woman's figure. The beautiful woman was dressed in a red kungfu suit and looked exactly like Judy!

"Judy?!?! Is that you?" Steve asked in surprise and bewilderment.

"The Judy outside is the main brain. I'm Judy number two, Kungfu Judy!" Judy number 2 said. "I will maintain my combat power at the same level as you, and my strength level will continue to increase according to your performance, until it exceeds your boundaries."

"Bring it on!" Steve challenged.

Kungfu Judy stood upright, put one hand behind her back, and stretched out another hand, signalling for Steve to make his move. Steve did not use thermal weapons, as the purpose of the current a.s.sessment was to test his own strength.

Huahhh!

Steve dashed forward, shouted, and punched outward. As he did so, Kungfu Judy directly interlocked his hands to counter him.

Bang!

Kungfu Judy was. .h.i.t by a blow, then retreated three steps, but was ultimately unhurt.

"Too weak! Your control of physical strength is not enough. Come at me again," Judy said calmly.

Steve looked serious. He was using his physical strength, not any original-level force. In battles, besides the use of original-level force, the strength of the body is also very important. Especially in close-up battles, or when the original-level force was exhausted, the victor one would be the one who was stronger in physical strength and skills.

Speaking of the original-force being totally exhausted, Steve had used up his original-level force several times during his battles against Stuart and Collic.

Due to that fact, after this a.s.sessment, which was also aimed to test the control of physical strength, such as strength skills, muscle strength control, and so on, there would also be an a.s.sessment on the control of original-level force.

Huaahh!

Steve again gave a big shout, while whipping his leg towards the left of Kungfu Judy's head. Although she stretched out her left hand to defend herself, she was still thrown backwards. Luckily, she was able to steady herself very quickly.

Seeing her fast recovery, Steve quickly drew near to throw more punches.
