That's right. The fact that he was able to pass through the sixteen levels so quickly proves that even a general-level expert couldn't withstand Mo Tianyun. At the very least, it takes the strength of a marshal to achieve this!

What shocked all the mentors even more was that Mo Tianyun did not use combat mechs, but used martial arts techniques to easily kill all general-level experts, and even the Zerg generals who had evolved to the ultimate stage were easily killed.

This strength is probably quite formidable even among marshal-level experts.

The top-level instructors at the Battle Mech Academy are equivalent to marshal-level powerhouses. Therefore, Mo Tianyun's current strength is greater than that of 99% of the instructors!

It is likely that only the best among the top-tier instructors can keep Mo Tianyun in check.

However, all the mentors still greatly underestimated Mo Tianyun's current strength, because Mo Tianyun was still in the process of overcoming challenges...

In fact, if a student at a combat mech pilot academy can pass the sixteenth level, he can apply to graduate from the academy at any time and then enter the military, starting with a minimum rank of general!

Starting from the seventeenth level, you will face powerful commanders. The enemies in the virtual world are naturally Zerg commanders, and the difficulty of each subsequent level increases significantly.

Over the years, many trainees have failed to pass the final four assessment stages upon graduation, even the "easiest" seventeenth stage.

It's simply because the strength gap between generals and marshals is too large.

Currently, the empire has over a million generals, but only a few thousand marshals, and even fewer grand marshals. The vast empire has only 124 such individuals, and including Mo Tianyun, there are only 125.

Of course, Mo Tianyun's strength has not yet truly reached the elder level, because his mecha and body have not yet had time to evolve.

In the seventeenth level, a low-level Zerg commander was still instantly killed by Mo Tianyun's enhanced version of the Myriad Starlight Sword!

"The Zerg commander... was actually killed so easily by Mo Tianyun???"

"This...this...his martial arts spirit has only just recovered, how come his strength has suddenly increased by leaps and bounds?!"

"Amazing, truly amazing! No wonder he's a genius who appears only once in a millennium! No, even in the empire's last ten thousand years, there haven't been many people this powerful, and he's not even twenty years old yet!?"

From this moment on, all the mentors, including all the top-level mentors such as Lin Tianyu, realized that this matter was not simple!

Because Mo Tianyun killed the Zerg commander so easily, he didn't even bring out his mech—no, he didn't even bring it into the virtual world.

In the eighteenth level, a mid-level Zerg commander was still killed by Mo Tianyun using a large number of Myriad Starlight Swords, which were then condensed into a massive, earth-shattering, blood-red Starlight Sword!

Because Mo Tianyun had prepared in advance, the whole process took less than a second...

All the instructors, including several top-level instructors, were utterly astonished by this situation; they could hardly believe what they were seeing. This young man had annihilated a mid-level Zerg commander in a single second, something none of them had anticipated.

The top-level instructors, in particular, were filled with excitement and disbelief that such a powerful mid-level Zerg commander had been so easily defeated by this young man.

They deeply felt the immense power contained within Mo Tianyun. Now, Mo Tianyun's strength was probably no less than theirs, and might even have surpassed that of these top-level instructors.

Level 19, a high-ranking Zerg commander.

This time, Mo Tianyun had it much harder. He used the Star Moon Sword Technique and the Myriad Starlight Swords simultaneously, and maximized his mental strength, condensing a massive, overwhelming array of starlight swords that swept across the area before finally eliminating the high-level insect commander.

"That's nineteen levels! My God! I couldn't even get past this one, and he passed it so easily! Is there something wrong with the virtual world? But the test report says there's nothing wrong!?"

Instructor Lin Tianyu was completely bewildered, his face filled with confusion and helplessness, his thoughts were in complete disarray, he didn't know how to deal with it, and he felt that his mind was blank.

Back then, Lin Tianyu had taught Mo Tianyun a class. He thought that this young man would definitely surpass him in the future, but not just in a year or two!

The twentieth level: a final-tier Zerg commander.

This time, Mo Tianyun is in trouble because he didn't even put the mecha into the virtual world, thus losing a major asset.

Fortunately, the final-tier Zerg commander in the twentieth level of the virtual world is far less powerful than the real one. At least this virtual Zerg commander doesn't even have mental power or martial arts skills; all it has is immense strength, so its actual power is greatly reduced.

In the end, Mo Tianyun unleashed the Moon of Clouds, and with the assistance of all the strong hearts, his mental strength surged. His imagery transformed into a moon sword light that pierced through the clouds. As the sword light illuminated the entire virtual world, it almost caused the virtual world to collapse before the final-level insectoid commander dissipated.

But just as Mo Tianyun was about to exit the virtual world, the scene changed dramatically. A golden light descended from the sky and enveloped him.

Mo Tianyun was puzzled. What was this golden light?

Then, his name appeared in mid-air in the virtual world, and at the same time, footage of the final battle was played next to it.

[Mo Tianyun, congratulations! You have become the first student in the academy's history to pass all the assessment levels of the Combat Mech Master Academy during your studies! The academy will award you 100 million academic credits!]

"One hundred million credits? Is there really such a good deal?"

Mo Tianyun smiled broadly and nodded in satisfaction, as he needed credits to exchange for resources to upgrade his Miracle Mech.

From then on, Mo Tianyun cleared all the levels of the Battle Mech Pilot Academy's assessment.

At this moment, all the mentors were extremely shocked by Mo Tianyun's success in clearing all twenty levels. The last level was the ultimate level Zerg commander, and Mo Tianyun actually passed it. It was unbelievable!

What surprised these mentors even more was that by passing all the assessment stages, they could actually earn 100 million credits!

These professors had been in the academy for so many years, but this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.

"Yes, this virtual world used for assessments was built when the academy was first established. I heard that the king set up a reward for passing all the assessments in this virtual world. I never expected it to be 100 million credits!"

Mentor Lin Tianyu muttered to himself, and all the mentors found out as well.
