Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 458 Challenge Mode
Of course, a high level of mental strength not only brings benefits in offense, but also plays a big role in defense.

For example, the Golden Bell Visualization Method can materialize mental power and cover the surface of the body with a large bell to block incoming attacks.

Unfortunately, it can only block the attacks of Force Warriors of level 10 or below. In front of a level 1 Grandmaster, it is like paper and will break with just one poke.

Jiang Cheng followed Dai Jun and came to a room next to the corridor.

When I pushed open the door, I saw several devices similar to massage chairs inside. In addition, there was a huge screen in the front.

"That's the virtual cabin. Put on the helmet and lie down in it, then you can put all your data in reality into the virtual cabin. As for weapons, telekinetic weapons, treasures, etc., you can choose them in the system. Because this is the assessment mode, you can only choose one weapon, and at most one telekinetic weapon.
If you pass the assessment, the challenge mode will be the same, because this system is designed to cultivate our combat capabilities and does not encourage the use of various treasures. "

Jiang Cheng nodded and asked, "What if you want to practice with treasures?"

“There’s free mode.”

Dai Jun smiled and said, "In the free mode, you can choose any treasure and try it out. Of course, if you can't get the corresponding treasure in reality, it won't make much sense. And there will be no reward for defeating your opponent in the free mode."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng realized something and asked quickly, "If you defeat your opponent in the challenge mode, there will be a reward?"

Dai Jun and Qin Lao smiled at each other.

"Hahaha, of course, there are many benefits. However, let's wait until you pass the assessment before we talk about it."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Under Dai Jun's guidance, he put on a helmet and lay down in the cabin.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a wilderness with no one around.

At this moment, the scene in front of Jiang Cheng appeared on the big screen outside, including Jiang Cheng himself.

Dai Jun and Qin Lao were looking at Jiang Cheng on the screen, but the latter could not see the two people outside.

"The assessment mode has been activated. It has been detected that the candidate Jiang Cheng has the Force, a first-level master, and the mental power, a tenth-level mentalist. Do you want to start the assessment?"

A voice sounded in Jiang Cheng's mind.

At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and clicked yes.

I feel that this scene is somewhat magical.

"Okay, the test begins. Please choose your weapon."

A large number of weapons appeared on the screen.

Jiang Cheng searched among them and soon found the familiar S-level alloy sword.

After coming here, he specially borrowed an alloy weapon from Old Qin to practice the shadowless sword technique. As for the telekinetic weapon, Old Qin had it gone.

After confirming, an alloy sword immediately appeared in his hand.

"Please choose your telekinetic weapon."

The female voice sounded in my mind again.

Jiang Cheng took a glance and chose to skip it.

A tenth-level spiritual master basically has no chance of winning against a master of the next level.

If you choose telekinetic weapons, you will be distracted during the battle.

"Should we start fighting?"

"Yes."

The next second, a man suddenly appeared more than ten meters ahead.

The man was of ordinary appearance and height, and he also held an alloy sword in his hand and had a dull expression.

"The battle will begin in ten seconds, please be ready."

"nineteen."

At this moment, the countdown began on the big screen outside.

"It's about to begin."

Dai Jun said with a smile.

Old Qin on the side nodded and looked a little nervous.

As soon as the countdown ended, the man opposite stomped his feet suddenly, and in a blink of an eye he came in front of Jiang Cheng. The long knife in his hand tore through the air and chopped down fiercely at Jiang Cheng's chest.

Jiang Cheng's eyelids jumped, and then he swung his knife to block.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the recoil force from the knife made him take two steps back.

"What a fast pace."

Jiang Cheng said in his heart.

Not only his body movements, but also his swordsmanship is so true. I'm afraid he has also reached a high level of proficiency.

In the blink of an eye, the opponent rushed up again and swung a knife, leaving three afterimages, making it impossible to tell which direction the real knife was going.

Dai Jun outside saw this scene and frowned slightly.

This move is the sword technique of Tianwu Phantom Sword Technique. Countless challengers in the past have fallen under this move.

Frankly speaking, even he felt that it was too incredible to allow Phantom to master this kind of sword skills during the Grandmaster Assessment stage.

However, the purpose of the assessment is to select talented combat talents, and it is better to have no one than to have someone of poor quality. Otherwise, it would not only be irresponsible to the assessor, but would also bring hidden dangers to the City of Hope.

At this moment, a crisp collision sound was heard, and Jiang Cheng on the screen blocked the knife. The two of them took two steps back again.

"blocked?"

Old Qin looked surprised.

"This boy is not simple."

Dai Jun narrowed his eyes.

The two people on the screen fought again. Within two moves, the phantom used the phantom sword technique again. Three sword lights flew towards Jiang Cheng's eyes, throat, and chest respectively.

The next moment, the long sword in Jiang Cheng's hand suddenly accelerated, and with a clang, he blocked the knife that was about to hit his chest.

"It's the Shadowless Sword Technique."

Old Qin took a deep breath. Last time, he didn't care much, but this time, he finally saw it clearly.

The secret technique of the Shadowless Sword Technique can instantly increase the speed of the sword several times. Jiang Cheng did not see which sword light was real, so he did not try to identify it. He directly intercepted all three sword lights and knew which one was the real one.

"Yes, it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that he will pass the assessment."

Dai Jun laughed.

It is undeniable that the phantom is very strong and absolutely calm, and will not be affected by emotions during the battle.

However, no matter how strong it is, it is still virtual and has no intelligence. It will be discovered after fighting for a long time. Its moves come and go, and there are only a few of them. It is easy to figure out the pattern, and once you figure out the pattern, the next battle will be easy.

Not only in the assessment mode, but also in the challenge mode, the projections of the dozen supreme powers have such problems. The difference is that they have more moves, and they are combined randomly, so it is difficult to figure out the rules. Moreover, basically all their moves have reached a perfect level, and it is difficult to find flaws. They can only win by relying on hard power.

Of course, even so, there is still a big gap compared to the real person.

In the virtual world, Jiang Cheng looked at the panel and saw his proficiency increasing bit by bit, feeling extremely happy.

Sure enough, fighting is much faster than slowly working through it in the real world. What’s more, this is a real battle, and its intensity is several times stronger than that of real-life sparring.
