When Qin Tan pushed open the door to the assessment room, she saw more than a dozen people standing inside.

She is a candidate just like her.

Most of them were young, but there were also a few middle-aged people.

Those gazes fell upon Qin Tan, carrying a sense of scrutiny and contempt.

Some met her gaze, while others scoffed and turned away, seemingly disdainful of associating with her.

This hostility came from nowhere.

She came here to complete her first assessment.

Qin Tan had no intention of trying to curry favor with someone who wouldn't listen, so she simply found a seat and waited quietly.

The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.

Someone pulled open the table in front of Qin Tan and then plopped down on it.

The man's fist slammed against the table with a loud thud.

It's very noisy.

"You are Qin Tan?"

"That legendary Resonator who was so lucky to be recognized by an S-class forbidden artifact and thus entered Dawn's Core?"

"Is the resonance object just a cat?"

The young man who spoke was very thin, and looked malnourished, but his eyes were bright and he didn't seem like someone easy to get along with.

"I am."

Qin Tan raised an eyebrow.

She understood the man's disdain for her; it seemed they had reservations about her joining the Dawn Pivot.

"Oh, so it was you who cut in line."

"But don't get too cocky. There are only five spots this time, so you definitely don't have a chance."

The young man chuckled, raised his chin, and ignored the princess who was perched on Qin Tan's shoulder, his expression extremely arrogant.

"I share these words with you."

Qin Tan responded with a smile.

"You!" The young man glared, then sneered, "Don't think you're so great. See him?"

He pointed to one person.

"His name is Wei Xiao, and he is the younger brother of the captain of the first team."

“Wei Xiao has been with the guard for two years, and his abilities are far beyond what you can compare to.”

"One spot is practically guaranteed, so there are four left. Do you think you have the ability to compete with the remaining dozens of people?"

The young man's attitude wasn't exactly malicious, but he was overly hostile to Qin Tan's existence.

She knew what was going on.

Among the combat personnel of Dawn Hub, there are very few Class B superhumans.

Her social standing was not something these people cared about.

I don't know if he's good or not, but I know you're not.

Qin Tan's gaze was indifferent, but her sarcastic words angered the young man.

"Shut the hell up!"

The underestimated youth threw a punch at Qin Tan's head, his arm muscles bulging in the process.

Qin Tan, however, simply tilted her head slightly to dodge the attack.

She stood up, grabbed the other person by the neck while they were still in shock, lifted them off the table and slammed them hard onto the ground.

With one foot planted on the other's chest, Qin Tan leaned down slightly.

Qin Tan exerted force with his foot, causing the other person to cough violently.

"Look at you, you're just a useless, raging piece of trash."

Qin Tan's words were too sharp, and her counterattack was even more decisive.

Throughout the conference room, many onlookers cast appraising glances at Qin Tan.

People with ability always attract attention.

"That's enough! We have an exam coming up soon. If you want to fight, go outside!"

Wei Xiao, who was being compared to Qin Tan, walked over and looked at the two of them coldly, accompanied by the imposing aura that the other party was exerting on them.

That feeling made Qin Tan feel as if he had seen a fierce tiger in the mountains.

"interesting."

Qin Tan smiled, but did not let go of the person under her feet.

"You pretended not to see him when he provoked me, but now you're stepping in to settle things."

"Wei Xiao, right?"

"Is a substitute player already acting like a regular player?"

She tilted her head, looking at the other person with a leisurely air.

"If you're trying to show off, you've come to the wrong person. I'm not buying it."

"Or do you think that just because your brother is in the guard, you're superior to everyone else?"

The hierarchy among extraordinary individuals is far more severe than she imagined.

But who says that someone like me, a B-level superhuman, has to be trampled underfoot by these people?

Qin Tan lowered his eyes, his expression distant and indifferent.

His dark eyes seemed to have been washed by ice water, exuding a coldness, with a faint golden hue in them.

The sudden display of power surprised Wei Xiao for a moment, but his face quickly darkened.

As the younger brother of the team captain, Wei Xiao has always been treated with great respect and affection.

His brother asked him to conduct the assessment this time.

It's fair to say that he's got one of the five spots in the bag. His arrogance isn't a problem when others are willing to flatter him.

But that won't work in front of Qin Tan.

"Qin Tan is an S-class forbidden item. If you cannot control its power, then it is no different from a piece of junk in your hands."

"Those who possess extraordinary abilities need to rely on their own strength as a foundation; external things are all illusory."

Wei Xiao suppressed his anger and admonished Qin Tan in a lecturing manner.

The aura of a dangerous beast was even stronger.

Qin Tan was unsure of the other party's abilities.

On her shoulder, the princess's tail wrapped around Qin Tan's neck.

The fluffy fur concealed the coldness in Qin Tan's eyes.

"If what your brother taught you is to make judgments without knowing what someone looks like, then I question your brother's judgment as the captain of the first team."

Qin Tan curled her lips, not giving an inch.

She stepped forward, her killing intent undisguised, the Grim Reaper's scythe hanging on her wrist swaying.

This killing intent was born from the power of the Grim Reaper's scythe.

For a short period of time, she followed Coach Feng around, learning how to use the Reaper's Scythe.

I'm not saying I'll unleash my full potential, but it's enough to intimidate these people.

The two sides clashed, their opposing pressures creating a heavy atmosphere in the room.

Many people's expressions changed, and their initial disdain for Qin Tan completely disappeared.
