My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 1209 - 621: Senior Worker Acquires, Ancient Mage Tower Staff Will Be Complete (4K)
Outside the arena, accompanied by the words of an old reporter, others also finally recognized this world-class strongman.
It wasn't the journalists' fault for their lack of professionalism.
After all, Gray Wind was a world-class strongman active decades ago, and he hadn't used any signature skills in the previous challenges, making him hard to identify.
But once his presence was confirmed, the corresponding information immediately surfaced in the reporters' minds.
"Gray Wind, rose to fame forty-six years ago when the big guy was invited to help a medium-sized country resist a great calamity and single-handedly defeated a Duke-level strongman in the tide, earning his title."
"Thirty-six years ago, Gray Wind was invited by the Mishan Academy of the Qi Cheng Federation to serve as a professor at this top-tier institution. His profound mastery of Wind Magic won the admiration of Mishan Academy."
"Twelve years ago, Lord Gray Wind made significant advancements in his skills. During the Red Moon Disaster, he fought against two and utterly annihilated two flesh dukes, further increasing his fame, receiving countless overtures from lords, forces, and countries, all of which he refused."
Unexpectedly, such a renowned top-notch strongman globally had come to Tianyuan Academy.
No wonder he had breezed through the previous assessment stages.
Being among the elite world-class strongmen, Gray Wind certainly had the credentials, too qualified to be a top professor at the academy.

In fact, they felt that with his reputation and status, he didn't need to go through these assessment stages himself but could simply discuss a collaboration with Tianyuan Academy.
However, Gray Wind never liked those indirect discussions. Otherwise, he wouldn't often seclude himself alone in the mountains and forests.
Compared to negotiating, proceeding according to the rules was more to his liking.
Moreover...
He had not yet decided to take up a position at Tianyuan Academy.
This was a two-way choice.
The academy could use various means to filter and select interviewees, while he could judge whether the academy met his standards in his own way.
Passing the assessment stages was one of them.
Whether the arrangement of the stage was rational and exquisite could reflect the academy's level to some extent.
And Tianyuan Academy's stages...
"The first stage's defenders are all legendary seeds, and there seem to be quite a few."
Even though he won easily.
But who is Gray Wind? He's someone who has lived over a hundred years, naturally defeating these youngsters with the same force was a piece of cake.
But if it had been during his time at the Fourth-order Limit, he would have only been slightly stronger than these defenders.
He admired these youngsters.
Compared to the defenders, the ingenious arrangement of the stage was even more astonishing to him.
"How on earth did they manage to lock down the body like shackles?"
He was utterly perplexed.
Of course, he couldn't figure it out. This was developed by Isloa after referencing the "Physical Shackles" ability and even extracting several vials of Uta's blood to research this special formation. To put it highly, this even contained a hint of legendary mystery.
Of course, the setup at this assessment location was just a basic formation; the power of the shackles was not that strong. Strong individuals could actually break free by sheer force, but doing so would mean failing the assessment.
The second and third stages each had their own mysteries.
Now, guided by the staff, Gray Wind arrived at the fourth stage, the final assessment.
"Space folding technology?"
His gaze slightly hardened.
The area in front of him was large, roughly equivalent to a soccer field.
But with his keen vision, the actual interior space was at least a thousand, ten thousand times larger than the exterior.
Space folding technology was not rare, but folding it a thousand, ten thousand times and solidifying it steadily in this place was astonishing.
He suddenly had an illusion.
Surely he couldn't fail this beginner's assessment?
Impossible.
Gray Wind stepped inside.
The next moment, a "ding" notification sounded in his ear.
"Prompt: The assessment for this stage is 'Academic Sea Trial.' In this stage, you can anchor a certain 'Academic Field.' During this time, you will face an academic onslaught and real-world maneuvers in that field."
"Prompt: If you withstand for 100 seconds, you will be considered to have passed."
"Prompt: You have 30 seconds to prepare."
Just as the notification ended, a beam of white light fell.
"Prompt: You have received the Protection Seal. Regardless of how severe your injuries are in this stage, you will not die, and at the end of the challenge, you can recover to peak condition. (Note: The use of Epic Treasure is prohibited)"
A series of notifications slightly stupefied Gray Wind.
He was certainly a hero.
Having lived for over a hundred years, casually performing heroic deeds and saving cities and countries easily met the invisible requirements of the Hero Trial.
However...
He was certain that this was not some Miracle Building, but a man-made venue.
...
Of course, these were not real heavenly prompt sounds.
However, many legendary Great Forces involve profound authority, in a way no different from rules, albeit with limited scope, applying only to local rules.
The mentioned "Protection Seal" originated from Lapis's power.
But it wasn't her personally casting it; rather, Isloa had borrowed a strand of her protection power seed and integrated it into this venue.
