Wade's mind was almost completely blank, with only two thoughts remaining—he actually lost? This Ryan Lincoln is simply a monster!

At this moment, everyone in the Education Bureau's conference room exchanged glances, each seeing the astonishment in the others' eyes.

Since this Ryan Lincoln could use the powerful secret move 'Crimson Thunder Serpent Hand,' it meant his Crimson Thunder Palm and Thunderfire Stake techniques had already reached the level of mastery or above!

Clearly, he was a martial arts genius with even greater talent than Wade!

Chapter 8 Despairing Celestial Maiden

When Ryan Lincoln defeated Wade, Sean Lincoln was sitting in the waiting room of 'Quinn Lucas Private Clinic' on Longze East Road, staring blankly at the entrance.

Sean Lincoln was thinking about Ryan Lincoln. It was now exactly twelve o'clock, with one hour left until the end of the heteromorphic combat assessment. She wondered what Ryan Lincoln's final ranking would be.

Sean Lincoln expected her brother's results would definitely not be lower than the top three hundred in the city.

Although in recent days, Ryan Lincoln had seemed very lacking in confidence when talking with her, last night when Sean Lincoln saw Ryan Lincoln swing that blade, it truly had a bit of Colonel Bennett's style.

Sean Lincoln had very high martial arts talent—so high that even her school's martial arts teachers felt it was a pity. They believed that with such aptitude, if Sean Lincoln had enough money to implant inner cores and meridians, she would definitely become the most outstanding colonized martial artist.

So she could see the extraordinary quality of Ryan Lincoln's strike, especially the fierce killing intent that came with the flash of the blade, which still made Sean Lincoln shiver and break out in goosebumps whenever she thought about it.

The problem was, her brother had never been this strong before. His progress in martial arts was so fast—too fast—

Just then, a female doctor in a white coat, wearing smart glasses and holding a report, walked in.

Sean Lincoln immediately snapped back to attention and stood up: "Ms. Quinn!"

Her eyes were filled with both hope and fear.

"The test results are out." The female doctor looked at Sean Lincoln seriously. "But before that, I have to say again: according to current regulations, except for law enforcement agencies, any unauthorized DNA testing without the federal citizen's or guardian's permission is a violation. I sent the two hairs you brought for testing without authorization, which is a procedural violation. If this gets out, I could have my medical license revoked."

Sean Lincoln gave an embarrassed smile, then put her hands together as if praying and bowed to the doctor: "Ms. Quinn, you care about me the most. Please help me just this once. I understand the rules and I absolutely won't tell anyone."

The female doctor she called Ms. Quinn was named Quinn Lucas, formerly their family doctor and now the owner of this clinic.

After her family changed, she and Ryan Lincoln could no longer afford Quinn Lucas's fees, but they never lost contact.

Quinn Lucas had always looked after her, hiring her to work at the clinic every summer vacation.

"You!"

Quinn Lucas shook her head helplessly and handed over the test results: "According to the results, the two hairs you brought belong to the same person, with 100% DNA similarity."

Sean Lincoln immediately felt relieved. Her 'brother's' DNA hadn't changed?

In other words, the current Ryan Lincoln and the previous Ryan Lincoln were the same person?

But then she heard the doctor's tone change: "However, the electromagnetic fields attached to the two hairs show some differences."

Sean Lincoln's emotions plummeted like a roller coaster: "The electromagnetic fields are different? Ms. Quinn, under what circumstances does this usually happen?"

She knew that electromagnetic fields were closely related to the souls of colonized martial artists.

"There are many possibilities." Quinn Lucas adjusted her glasses and explained with a smile, "For example, major emotional fluctuations, recent serious injuries, or a significant increase in mental strength. In addition, there are two more dangerous possibilities: the legendary 'cloning' and 'possession.'"

"Cloning and possession?" Hearing these five words, Sean Lincoln froze, her face turning pale.

So, there was still a high probability that her brother had been replaced?

At this moment, she didn't notice the strange look the doctor was giving her.

"I don't need to explain cloning. As for possession, it means someone's soul takes over another's body. When the Celestial Star people first infiltrated the Federation, they used this method. Later, our Federation developed soul digitization technology, allowing souls to be uploaded and stored in computers. Possession has become relatively common and is a major legal headache for the Federation."

Quinn Lucas paused, looking at Sean Lincoln suspiciously: "By the way, Sean Lincoln, what's going on here? Whose hair is this? Why did you insist on having me test it? It can't be your brother Ryan Lincoln's, can it?"

"No! Of course not!" Sean Lincoln forced a smile, then hurriedly grabbed the test report and headed for the door: "Thanks, Ms. Quinn. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Quinn Lucas watched as Sean Lincoln walked out in a daze, her elegant face gradually turning cold.

She then used her terminal wristband to dial a number: "Director, what's going on with Sean Lincoln's brother? Is he really dead or not?"
