**Chapter 883: Many Times, Actions Speak Louder Than Words**
Lin Muyu collected his thoughts and regained his calm and composed demeanor.
Gu Qingxuan was waiting at the entrance. Seeing Lin Muyu come out, she immediately asked, "How was it? Did you manage to bring out your talent?"
Although Elder Luo had already given the answer, Gu Qingxuan still wanted to hear it directly from Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu nodded, "I brought it out."
Of course he brought out his talent, but it wasn’t just now, and it wasn’t just one talent either.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingxuan’s beautiful face, "It’s good that you brought it out. Now let’s go for the final assessment."
"Remember what I told you, for the final assessment you need to go all out and aim for a high rating."
"If you want to enter the Divine City in the future, this is very important."
The Divine City only accepts talents, and anyone who falls short will not be accepted.
Moreover, the better the rating Lin Muyu obtains, the better the reward Gu Qingxuan, as his guide, will receive.
Earlier, Gu Qingxuan had invested 100 points to allow Lin Muyu to receive the best baptism from the great world laws. If Lin Muyu’s rating is not good, it would be a loss for her.
Lin Muyu kept Gu Qingxuan’s words in mind.
He definitely intended to go to the Divine City.
Along the way, he had heard Gu Qingxuan mention the Divine City countless times. It was the most coveted place for all cultivators of the human race.
Gu Qingxuan also wanted to go to the Divine City, and she was working hard towards that goal.
Gu Qingxuan led Lin Muyu towards the place for the final assessment.
Soon, they heard voices coming from a distance.
Lin Muyu saw a group of people gathered there.
After entering the War God Hall, it had been quiet and cold all the way.
Only here was it relatively lively.
Lin Muyu recognized those people as the ones who had been queuing outside the registration office.
Among them were newcomers like himself, as well as guides like Gu Qingxuan.
Lin Muyu’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.
They had all seen the way Lin Muyu had stared at the five big characters in front of the War God Hall.
Some people’s eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
They were all from small worlds, all super gods, all talents from their respective small worlds, and all extremely arrogant.
Why could Lin Muyu stare at the five characters while they couldn’t?
Did that mean they were inferior to him?
Lin Muyu ignored their gazes and quietly went to the back of the queue.
The assessment was conducted in a closed room, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
Only after the assessment was completed would a final rating be given.
As for the process, it was strictly confidential.
It was said that apart from the War God Xiao Zhantian himself, no one could peek into it.
This strictly protected the privacy of those being assessed.
Gu Qingxuan pointed to the side of the assessment room, "Look, there’s a star crystal over there."
"After the assessment is completed, the star crystal will light up, indicating the rating obtained."
"White represents Fair, green represents Good, red represents Excellent, and gold represents Extreme."
To go to the Divine City, obtaining at least a Good rating was the basic requirement.
If one wanted to have a better chance, an Extreme rating was necessary.
Lin Muyu suddenly became curious, "Have you been assessed before?"
Gu Qingxuan did not hide it, "I have, and my rating was Extreme."
As the Night Wind God’s disciple, Gu Qingxuan’s talents were undoubtedly good.
Obtaining an Extreme rating was normal for her.
However, even Gu Qingxuan, who had an Extreme rating, still hadn’t been able to enter the Divine City. This showed how difficult it was to enter the Divine City.
At this moment, the star crystal lit up with a faint red glow, indicating an Excellent rating, but the red was rather dim.
Gu Qingxuan explained, "Even with the same Excellent rating, there are differences in strength. The brighter the glow, the higher the rating within the same level."
"A glow like this is considered a low Excellent, the lowest within the Excellent level."
Before Gu Qingxuan’s words had even finished, a cold voice suddenly came from nearby, "Even a low Excellent is still better than others. I wonder what rating the person you brought will get!"
Looking over, a man was glaring at Gu Qingxuan with ill intent in his eyes.
Gu Qingxuan’s words had clearly made him feel uncomfortable.
The man glared at Gu Qingxuan, as if challenging her to compare.
Gu Qingxuan said indifferently, "We’ll have to see."
The man sneered, "I remember you. We took a task from the Divine City together before. So it seems we’re still competitors."
Gu Qingxuan tried to recall but shook her head, "I don’t remember you."
Gu Qingxuan was extremely beautiful. No matter where she went, she would attract attention.
It was normal for others to remember her.
As for the man, although his aura was very strong and not weaker than Gu Qingxuan’s, his appearance was too ordinary, like a passerby.
The man hesitated slightly, his voice gradually becoming louder, "You’ll remember me. My name is Sheng Gaoxuan, and my name will resound throughout the Divine City in the future."
His words were full of confidence.
Lin Muyu nodded inwardly. Although this guy was a bit arrogant, he also had confidence.
To become a strong cultivator, confidence is the foundation.
Firm belief, unyielding will, and unremitting effort are all indispensable.
If one lacks even confidence, how can one become a strong cultivator?
Gu Qingxuan only smiled faintly and said nothing more.
There was no need to argue with others. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
In this regard, she was very similar to Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu and Gu Qingxuan exchanged a smile, each understanding what the other was thinking.
The door opened, and a person walked out.
He seemed a little weak, with the laws still surging violently on his body, not yet settled.
Battle is the best way to test one’s strength, and this saying applies everywhere.
After he came out, another person stood in front of the room and placed his hand on the star crystal.
The star crystal lit up slightly, projecting a few numbers: 98.
Then the door opened, and he walked in.
Gu Qingxuan explained, "98 is his age. Age is also part of the assessment. Generally speaking, for those of equal strength, the younger one will receive a higher rating."
Lin Muyu could understand. Among super gods of the same level, the younger one usually indicates higher talents and greater potential.
Although it’s not absolute, it is true in most cases.
The lifespan of a super god starts from 500 years. With each higher stage, the lifespan increases by a hundred years.
At 98 years old, one is considered quite young for a super god.
Lin Muyu saw a hint of surprise in the eyes of some people. They were clearly astonished that the other party was so young.
"Not even a hundred years old, not bad, not bad." His guide was very satisfied.
Gu Qingxuan also said softly, "He is quite young. To reach the super god level before a hundred years old is considered average in the great world."
Lin Muyu asked, "At what age do people in the great world generally reach the super god level?"
Gu Qingxuan pondered for a moment, "It’s hard to say, as there’s a big difference. Reaching the super god level before a hundred years old is considered good. If one can reach the super god level before 80, that’s considered a talent."
"It’s said that in the Divine City, there are some prodigies who can reach the super god level before 50."
Lin Muyu thought of his own small world.
At the most dangerous time, the revival of the world’s power could allow an ordinary person to reach the god level in just a few years.
But this method was akin to forcing growth, which would be detrimental in the long run.
People in the great world would certainly not do such a thing. So being able to reach the super god level by 50 was indeed very strong.
Gu Qingxuan did not ask about Lin Muyu’s age. She would find out soon enough, so there was no need to ask.
Three hours later, the star crystal lit up again.
A red glow illuminated the surroundings, indicating an Excellent rating, but the red glow was brighter than the previous person’s.
"Excellent, upper-middle level!"
His guide couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, his eyes becoming proud.
Being able to guide a person with an Excellent rating meant he would receive good benefits.
Although they all had an Excellent rating, there were still differences in strength.
In fact, the human race was fully capable of further subdividing the ratings, but they chose not to.
Lin Muyu could roughly understand why they didn’t subdivide further.
This was only a temporary rating, and no one knew what the future held.
If they really subdivided, then everyone wouldn’t need to compare anymore.
It would just depend on whose talents were stronger.
Talent is only one aspect. In actual combat, one must also consider battle experience, skill in using techniques, and overall comprehensive strength.
