The Alliance officials had scheduled the "Rule Guidance" course for the entire morning, but Chen Gu finished it in just a few minutes!

This put them in an awkward position.

After a brief discussion, a few officials approached Chen Gu, looking embarrassed. "Our apologies, Mr. Chen," one said. "There are only two Consciousness Linking Devices in this training facility, and they're both fully booked for the morning. We assumed you'd need the entire morning to familiarize yourself with the rules and wouldn't be ready for the Consciousness Linking Devices until this afternoon..."

Currently, those two devices were being used by other competitors for training.

A thought crossed Chen Gu's mind, and he asked, "May I go take a look?"

"Of course."

The competitors training that morning weren't star players, so there weren't many restrictions or concerns about privacy. Thus, Chen Gu followed the officials to the Consciousness Linking Device training field.

Each training field was the same size as a standard competition arena, though the decorations and equipment were of a significantly lower grade.

In the first training field, a behemoth that somewhat resembled a triceratops was constantly practicing attacks.

However, its movements were somewhat disjointed. An Alliance official standing nearby explained to Chen Gu, "This is an issue with the consciousness link. After establishing a consciousness link between the player and their behemoth, the player's consciousness should dominate, with the behemoth's consciousness being secondary."

"With this combination, one can utilize the behemoth's formidable physical strength alongside the player's tactical thinking to maximize performance and deliver an impressive match."

In simple terms, while behemoths possess great strength, they lack intelligence. When humans control behemoth bodies, they become both cunning and powerful!

Chen Gu nodded inwardly.

The Alliance official continued, "For a player and behemoth to coordinate smoothly, three of the player's metrics must have high scores."

"Otherform Synchronization Degree: This metric measures the level of synchronization between the player and the behemoth. If this value is too low, the player will struggle to establish a consciousness link with the behemoth, even with the most advanced equipment."

"Thought Transmission Speed: This metric assesses the speed at which the player's consciousness is transmitted through the Consciousness Linking Device. If it's too slow, the player's commands will reach the behemoth's body with a delay, rendering efficient combat impossible."

"Adaptability Value: This metric indicates how well a player adapts to a behemoth's body. Behemoths come in countless forms, unlike humans who walk upright on two legs.

Some players possess high Otherform Synchronization Degree and Thought Transmission Speed, yet they are unable to effectively fight using a behemoth's quadrupedal locomotion. This is due to a poor Adaptability Value, preventing them from ever becoming top-tier behemoth players."

The player they were observing controlled the behemoth with noticeable stuttering. Besides issues with Otherform Synchronization Degree and Thought Transmission Speed, this might also stem from problems inherent to the behemoth itself.

It was uncertain if more training would improve the situation.

After just a brief glance, I understood, Chen Gu thought. If I were to release my Combat Rooster, it could end this fight within three moves, even without my direct command.

"Let's go, take a look at the other one."

The behemoth in the second training field was a massive, three-headed serpent. Each of its heads resembled that of a crocodile, and its thick, flat tail was planted firmly on the ground.

Compared to the first, this behemoth performed much better. Its movements were fluid and continuous, but its fighting style lacked an imposing presence.

A player like this might achieve decent results, Chen Gu mused, but their fighting style isn't what fans currently favor, making it difficult to gain significant fame. For players, fame means money.

Chen Gu watched for a while, nodding inwardly. Against this opponent, if I don't command it, the Combat Rooster would probably need ten moves to win.

An Alliance official suddenly recalled something. "Mr. Chen, you haven't undergone the physical assessment yet, have you?"

"There's assessment equipment here in the training facility. How about we conduct it now?"

This was standard procedure for the Alliance; every new recruit had to undergo this assessment. When rookies first appeared on the Behemoth Alliance stage, fans had no understanding of their capabilities. The assessment data provided the only direct, tangible measure of their potential.

"Okay," Chen Gu agreed.

The officials led him to a small building behind the training ground and had Chen Gu lie down in a sealed chamber before starting the device.

Inside the sealed chamber, Chen Gu felt himself float as if weightless. Fine, blue sparks of electricity continuously permeated his body, causing a slight tingling numbness.

On the external screen, various data flashed rapidly; numbers appeared and continually changed.

Chen Gu wasn't sure if he truly possessed the aptitude to be a behemoth battler. Regardless, his participation was confirmed, and he had immense confidence in his Combat Rooster. He believed that even without his direct command, this Energy Gathering Mechanical Species could defeat over eighty percent of the behemoths currently in the Alliance. In a few years, as the Combat Rooster continued to grow and evolve towards a super life-form, it would one day be capable of defeating every behemoth in the entire Alliance.

Outside, as the data gradually stabilized, the results began to emerge. The faces of the Alliance officials showed surprise.

Otherform Synchronization Degree was the first metric to be determined: 121!

This score was considered top-tier. Even Boraruz, the Behemoth Alliance's current number one contender, had only achieved a score of 117 for this metric during his rookie assessment.

Subsequently, the second metric, Thought Transmission Speed, also stabilized. The result was equally astonishing: 133!

For comparison, Boraruz's rookie score for Thought Transmission Speed was 113.

The officials grew excited. One couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be? Has the Alliance struck gold this time? Are we going to have a 'Triple-Hundred' contender?"

Individuals with all three scores exceeding one hundred were dubbed 'Triple-Hundred' contenders. Such talents were exceedingly rare in the entire Behemoth Alliance, and every 'Triple-Hundred' contender had left an indelible mark on the Alliance's history.

Every 'Triple-Hundred' contender would incite a fierce bidding war among the major clubs, each desperate to acquire such a prodigious rookie at any cost.

Then, the final metric, Adaptability Value, also stabilized.

However, the officials' expressions turned to disappointment—a disappointment tinged with a hint of despair.

Chen Gu's Adaptability Value was too low: only 71.

This meant he might be completely unable to adapt to fighting in a behemoth's form.

"What a pity..." the officials lamented with great regret.

However, an Adaptability Value of 71 was somewhat ambiguous. The baseline for these three metrics was 70.

If all three scores surpassed 70, there was still hope of becoming a behemoth contender, though it would require far more effort than for an ordinary person.
