Clone Ascension

The moment Evan completed his second evolution,

he could clearly feel the terrifying power

surging inside him.

“I wonder where I stand among Cocoon‑tier evolvers now.

One thing’s certain—I’m definitely not weak.”

Even though he had just evolved,

Evan was extremely confident.

The second evolution

didn’t just strengthen his body—

every one of his skills

had been enhanced.

He closed his eyes

and carefully sensed each ability.

Every skill was now etched into his genes,

a natural instinct he could feel effortlessly.

Evan’s strength

had undergone a full‑spectrum upgrade.

But the biggest change

was his mental power.

Before, he could barely sense it.

Chrysalis‑tier evolvers were too weak mentally.

Unless someone absorbed a mental‑boosting skill

like Wendy Lewis,

they could only judge mental fatigue

through dizziness or excitement.

But now—

as a Cocoon‑tier—

he could finally sense

the existence of his mental energy.

It was still at normal Cocoon‑tier level,

but it was there.

“My sister once said

there are no ‘perfect’ evolvers

and told me not to waste a skill slot

patching mental weaknesses.

“But she doesn’t know

I have more skill slots than others.

“What others can’t achieve…

I might be able to.

“I can become a true hexagonal warrior—

no weaknesses.”

He didn’t need to master every field—

just ensure he wasn’t countered

by melee fighters, ranged attackers,

or mental‑type evolvers.

And he believed

he could achieve that.

Tonight, he would rest.

Tomorrow, he would take first place

in the freshman assessment

and claim the Tier‑3 S‑grade extract.

With his plan set,

Evan fell asleep instantly.

He had trained nonstop for twenty days.

His body wasn’t tired—

but his mind was exhausted.

🌐 Rumors Across Dongli University

Rumors about Evan

spread wildly across campus.

But the man himself

hadn’t shown up for four days

and gave no explanation.

Even his classmates

hadn’t seen him.

He had taken four days off

right after school started—

so students who came to Class 02

hoping to see him

left disappointed.

His silence

only fueled the rumors.

Maybe the genius

had fallen from grace.

But Evan’s cold treatment

made the hype fade quickly.

Students shifted their attention

to the upcoming freshman assessment.

Every year,

the assessment produced new stars—

one or two prodigies

who would soon become

campus legends like Zach Hayes.

Upperclassmen,

teachers,

and curious spectators

all came to watch.

🏟️ The Arena — Morning of the Assessment

The outdoor arena

was already packed.

Evan put on his hat, mask, and sunglasses—

his “low‑profile trio”—

and blended into the crowd.

Freshmen could voluntarily sign up,

but the requirement

was completing the first evolution.

The assessment had two rounds:

Round One

All participants stood on stage.

A senior from the Combat Department’s Master Class

would attack them.

The last eight standing

advanced to Round Two.

Round Two

A knockout tournament

to determine final rankings.

Rewards were distributed

based on placement.

The arena was filled to capacity.

A bearded teacher

took the microphone.

“This year’s freshman assessment

is about to begin!

We have 68 participants,

one of the highest numbers in years.

This will be an intense and exciting competition.

“Now, let me introduce

the examiner for Round One—

Master Class student Ethan Frost!”

A tall, slender young man

flew into the center of the arena.

His features were sharp and handsome—

like a character from a manga.

Screams erupted instantly.

“Oh my god, it’s Ethan Frost!”

“He’s so handsome!”

“Ethan isn’t just good‑looking—

he’s insanely strong!”

“Of course!

Anyone in the Master Class

is a top‑tier genius!”

“Ethan specializes in offense.

These freshmen are doomed!”
