Everyone was lamenting for No. 32, as he had almost pa.s.sed. However, after sighing for a bit on his behalf, the crowd could not help but get excited again.

"Director Derek, quick, announce the results!" Leopold couldn't wait any longer.

"Lieutenant, the number of people eliminated in this round was 35, and the number of qualified people is now 15!" Derek was equally excited.

"15 people qualified!"

"Hahaha, this is good! So awesome!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh and cheer. No one had pa.s.sed in the previous rounds, but the last round had brought such a pleasant surprise!

Among the 50 people, 15 pa.s.sed the test. This was the highest pa.s.sing rate ever!

Even if they were to take the previous 33 rounds into account, 15 qualified people out of 5,000 people was considered as excellent. The highest record in the past was only 14 qualified people. This time, 15 people had qualified, and the record was renewed!

Among so many happy people, there was only one person with no joy on his face...

"Why did so many people pa.s.s?" Vanessa asked disapprovingly. "Huh! Even if they pa.s.sed, their potentials must be very poor!"

Spencer, Quentin, and the others could not help but laugh at Vanessa's angry words. Even Leopold had begun to suspect that Vanessa was really a jinx!

"Lieutenant, are we going to continue testing?" Derek inquired. After all, even though 50% was the pa.s.sing standard, the higher the Brain Wave Fusion level was, the smoother the operation of the armored robots would be.

"Keep testing! I want to see how many outstanding people will emerge from this batch!" Lieutenant Leopold smiled.

As the order was obeyed, the mental pressure began to increase.

"51%... 52%... 53%..."

At 52%, there was yet another person who could not withstand the pressure and had to quit the test. But, at least he'd already hit the 50% pa.s.sing mark. At the same time, Steve, who was still in his armored robot, was relaxed and calm.

"Has it fused to 55%? Why don't I feel any pressure?" Steve was indifferent.

He could feel a lot of information pouring into his mind, yet his control of the armored robot was only getting smoother and smoother. It seemed as if the arms and legs of the armored robot were his own, except that it was a little heavier and clumsier. Regardless, it was not difficult to operate.

Furthermore, he'd heard from the eliminated people that the higher the fusion level, the greater the pressure would be, and they'd also told him that the brain might even experience great pain. Previously, those people did not even reach 20%, but now, he had already reached 55%, yet he still did not feel any increased mental pressure.

"Master, it's because your spiritual power is stronger than the others', so your endurance will be stronger than theirs," the Heart of the Universe reported to him.

"Spiritual power can counteract the mental pressure caused by armored robots?" Steve inquired.

"Yes! As I've said before, once the host's brain reaches 50%, it can directly ignore the pressure brought to and by the body. If the master's brain is developed to 100%, the mental pressure of the armored robot will have no effect on you," the Heart of the Universe answered.

Steve was surprised by these surprising benefits.

"If I can ignore all of the side effects of the armored robots, will I be able to exert all of the power of the armored robots?" Steve asked.

"According to the information I obtained from the Apollo battles.h.i.+p, in the division of the Lemurian civilization, F-grade weapons can be divided into five small cla.s.ses. These include ordinary, first, second, third and fourth. The ordinary cla.s.s belongs to F-grade weapons that are used daily. The first-cla.s.s is suitable for people with a basic cell value of 300 to 400, while the second-cla.s.s is suitable for people with a basic cell value of 400 to 500, and so on," the Heart of the Universe responded.

It then added, "The armored robot that is used by master belongs to the third-cla.s.s weapon category. At its full strength, it can fight against a level-one evolved being, but it can't take master's energy consumption into consideration and can only temporarily fight against the other party, not defeat them. If master's strength were to be exhausted, you might even be killed, so please don't be ras.h.!.+"
