Chapter 31
“How much is this Beast Spirit Codex actually worth?” Xia Fei asked.
“If it were a star-tier manual, it would have sold for at least 5 billion star coins. But this is a rare beast-type special manual and shouldn’t be less than 10 billion star coins.” Phantom said dully.
“10 billion!” Xia Fei exclaimed, “Heavens! That means my personal wealth has already exceeded 10 billion star coins!”
Xia Fei’s bank account had 420 million star coins as of now. If he included these precious items, his personal wealth was now at 13.1 billion star coins!
With such great wealth, Xia Fei was now genuinely the most wealthy person in the entire federation!
They said that wealth could change a person, but Xia Fei wasn’t really much different from before. Even though his wealth was in billions, he was still wearing ordinary clothes, smoking the cheapest Hongtashan, and eating large bowls of zhajiang noodles.

(TL note: Zhajiang noodles are noodles with soybean paste.)
Xia Fei was slightly startled. “What secret?”
“The Power of Origin!” Phantom said in an immense tone, “The Power of Origin is a mysterious power. Apart from the Adjudicator Union’s core chiefs, no one knows about the Power of Origin. But it is certain that once someone receives the Power of Origin, their cultivation would increase drastically. No spirit medicine in the world compares with the effects of the Power of Origin.”

“If you can enter the Heaven Execution Training Camp, you will have a chance to access this Power of Origin. From then, you will immediately become a true expert!” Phantom’s eyes released a bright radiance as he said in a serious tone.
“A true expert!” Xia Fei was overwhelmed by emotions. There was an ancient saying, ‘A real man should be able to support both Heaven and Earth and be able to oversee the entire world!’
But in this era, the saying had to be changed. ‘A true expert should be able to oversee the entire universe!’
“I have decided that I must participate in this Adjudicator assessment!” Xia Fei said in a solemn tone.
After opening the Adjudicator Union Earth Branch’s website, Xia Fei read the latest news regarding the ranks of abilities.
After tens of thousands of years of research and experiments, the system to determine a Special Ability User’s rank had been confirmed. From now on, the special ability would unanimously use the number of ripples in the seventh brain region to determine the rank.
If the number of ripples were within 10, it was the Primary Star Light rank, if it were within 20, it would be the Intermediate Star Light rank, and so on.
The seventh brain region’s ripple was a mystical phenomenon, and all Ability Users’ seventh brain region would have a certain number of ripples. The higher the cultivation, the higher the number of ripples.

Special Ability Users had diverse types of abilities, and their combat strength would vary. There were some Primary Star Light ranked Ability Users who could defeat Star Base ranked Ability Users with ease. There were some who had reached the Star Base rank but were still unable to defeat Star Light ranked users.
It had always been a headache for everyone to determine the rank of a Special Ability User. They didn’t have distinct characteristics like the Strength or Speed Ability Users that could be tested by their physical strength or movement speed. Special Ability Users didn’t have an effective method of testing as there were too many different types of special abilities, making it too complicated.
It might still be unfair to determine the rank by the number of ripples in the brain region, but it was a basic judgment for the Special Ability Users’ cultivation rank. It was much better than being confused.
Just take this assessment, for example. It originally stated that all Special Ability Users could participate, but what if there were an Ability User who had already reached the legendary rank? If a legendary ranked Special Ability User were to contest with Star Base ranked users, wouldn’t the outcome be obvious?
Xia Fei merely took a quick glance and didn’t pay particular attention to this information. After all, he was a Speed Ability User and wasn’t a Special Ability User.

After clicking on the confirmation page, he noticed there wasn’t a single name in the column for Earth participants, as it was still very spacious.
However, below the column, in the non-Earth participants, there were hundreds of pages!
“84,911!” Xia Fei looked at the total count and was astonished. Furthermore, the number was still increasing as it seemed like it was going to cross the 100,000-mark.

Hundred thousand Ability Users contesting for three slots.
The intensity of the competition was simply outrageous!
Phantom chuckled. “There are truly a lot of participants this time. Can your government handle so many Ability Users on Earth?”
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and entered his name before clicking hard on the mouse.
The screen flashed quickly.
The Earth participants column finally had one name and was no longer empty.
It was a very simple name that was easy to read.
Xia Fei!
