Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 151 Life Index, Unprecedented!
He had just reached the door of the dark room when it was pushed open from the inside, and a tall figure dressed in a Taoist robe walked out.

The person who came out was Zhang Daoxuan.

His forehead and back were almost soaked with cold sweat, and his face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Clearly, he also gained a lot from this visualization class.

Upon seeing Yin Liulan at the door, Zhang Daoxuan nodded slightly and then stepped aside.

When he glanced back at the still-closed door to the dark room and remembered that there were still people inside, a look of frustration appeared on his face.

Yin Liulan ignored him and walked straight into the dark room, while Nie Cang and Su Yunjin behind her also slowed their pace.

Only four people remained in the dark room.

Among them, the young man who had been unusually low-key during the camp entrance assessment and had always covered his face with his hood also quietly stood up shortly after Yin Liulan and the others entered.

He didn't communicate with anyone, and showed no reaction when he saw Yin Liulan and the others. He simply walked out of the dark room in a hurry.

In the end, only three people remained.

Dongfang Zhen, Lin Ye, and Wei Shuying.

Nie Cang's gaze swept over the three of them, and an undisguised look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"This year's class is truly full of prodigies," he murmured in admiration.

“The duration of any one of these three people’s persistence is already close to the historical extreme value since the start of our training camp.”

At this moment, Zhou Yan also came in. He whispered a reminder: "Chief Instructor, according to the schedule, there are still basic assessments and combat simulations this afternoon. I'm afraid we're running out of time..."

After a moment's thought, Yin Liulan made a decision.

"You take the other students who have already completed the visualization course to conduct a foundation assessment."

"As for the practical assessment, we'll postpone it until tomorrow."

He paused, his gaze falling on the three remaining people.

"I want to see right here where the limits of these three prodigies really lie."

"Yes."

Zhou Yan accepted the order and left first with Chang Siming and the others.

Another twenty minutes or so passed.

In the dark room, Dongfang Zhen and Lin Ye stood up slowly at almost the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of weariness on each other's faces, but more than that, a tacit understanding of unbridled joy.

They walked out of the dark room together.

“Brother Lin,” Dongfang Zhen shook his slightly throbbing head, a hearty smile on his face, “you are truly the most mysterious genius I have ever met among my peers.”

Lin Ye smiled in return: "Brother Dongfang is also the most talented person I have ever met among his peers."

"Haha, there's no need for mutual flattery," Dongfang Zhen waved his hand. "We'll have a battle sooner or later... well, more than one. We'll see who's the real deal then."

Lin Ye nodded.

However, just when Yin Liulan, Nie Cang and the others thought that today's class was finally coming to an end.

After finishing his conversation with Dongfang Zhen, Lin Ye turned around again and, under everyone's astonished gaze, walked back into the dark room.

Yin Liulan's expression froze.

He looked at Zhou Yan, who was still standing beside him, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"What's up with this kid? Why is he back inside again?"

Zhou Yan's expression was also somewhat strange. He truthfully reported, "Reporting to the chief instructor, this... this should be the fourth time he has re-entered the dark room."

Upon hearing this, Nie Cang, Su Yunjin, and the others all showed expressions of confusion.

The fourth time?
Could it be that in those short ten-second rest period, he had already fully recovered his depleted mental energy?

how can that be!

With this huge question in mind, everyone stared intently at the door.

This time, Lin Ye stayed inside for a long time without coming out.

Now, only two people remain in the dark room.

One of them was Wei Shuying, whose face was growing paler and whose body was beginning to tremble slightly.

Yin Liulan and Nie Cang exchanged a glance.

Nie Cang said in a low voice, "Although Wei Shuying ranks in the top five or even the top three in other aspects, she is not the best compared to Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan."

"But there is only one thing in which she far surpasses all the others."

"That's the strength of mental power."

"In the file, her mental strength test score is the only one that exceeds 1,000, while the others are generally just over 300."

Yin Liulan retrieved Lin Ye's information from the terminal.

The mental strength column for this young man, who was ranked only 41st before entering the camp, was blank because it had never been tested.

The section on visualization techniques is also blank.

"Where did this Lin Ye come from?"

Dark room.

Wei Shuying felt as if her head was about to explode.

The oppressive force emanating from Zhulong was like countless steel needles, relentlessly piercing her sea of ​​consciousness.

She slowly opened her eyes, giving up on gazing at the scroll and wanting to catch her breath.

She thought that she should be the only one left in the dark room at this moment.

But when her gaze swept over the distance, she found that Lin Ye was still sitting there cross-legged, his breathing steady and his expression focused, as if he had not been affected at all.

How can it be? !
A strong sense of unwillingness and competitiveness welled up from the bottom of Wei Shuying's heart.

She knew she might not be a top performer in other areas.

But when it comes to mental strength, she won't allow herself to lose to anyone!
She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes again, and forced herself to immerse herself in meditation.

However, what she didn't know was that Lin Ye hadn't persisted from the very beginning.

He managed to survive until now by repeatedly disengaging from combat and recovering, his mental energy being replenished infinitely every ten seconds.

And unfortunately, she was already at her limit, facing Lin Ye, who had just replenished his mental energy.

He can now last for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Finally, another ten minutes passed, and Wei Shuying could no longer hold on.

She was drenched in sweat and trembling violently. Finally, everything went black, and she staggered to her feet, rushing out of the dark room as if fleeing.

When she saw Lin Ye still sitting in the same spot as a meditating monk, a look of defeat appeared on her cool and beautiful face for the first time.

Some people's Daoist heart has quietly shattered.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Ye also came out.

Just as he was about to repeat his old trick and perform the sixth visualization, he was stopped by Chang Siming, who had been waiting outside.

"Um... Lin Ye."

Chang Siming smiled awkwardly but politely: "You are the only student I have ever seen who can gaze at the 'Candle Illuminating the Nine Netherworlds' painting for such a long time."

"However, Chief Instructor, there are many others waiting for you to undergo a foundational assessment before entering the camp, so let's call it a day. There will be a visualization class tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's face showed a hint of reluctance.

However, after repeatedly making rubbings all afternoon, the image of "Illuminating the Nine Netherworlds" in his mind's eye had become incredibly realistic and perfect, enough for him to cultivate in private.

When Lin Ye walked out of the Meditation Hall, he indeed found Dongfang Zhen and several other students who were already ranked at the top waiting for him outside.

Lin Ye joined the ranks, and Yin Liulan looked at the top talents of the training camp in front of her and slowly spoke.

"The practice method has been taught, and the visualization method has also been transmitted."

"Next, I'll tell you about the rules of my training camp."

"As you all saw just now, some people didn't perform well and were penalized."

"Those points are academic credits."

As Yin Liulan finished speaking, Nie Cang stepped forward and opened a terminal in his hand.

"Before moving on to the next item, let me first announce your credit status so far."

"Lu Jiuxiao, 20 points for entry assessment, 10 points for performance in the cultivation method class, 10 points for performance in the visualization method class, for a total of 40 points."

Lu Jiuxiao's face was already somewhat unpleasant because he left the visualization class early, and now, upon hearing his pitifully low score, his fists clenched even tighter.

"Wei Shuying, 30 points in the camp entrance assessment. Her martial arts technique is a family tradition and does not participate in the scoring, but she receives 20 basic points based on her rank. She performed well in the visualization class, 30 points, for a total of 80 points."

Wei Shuying remained aloof and showed no reaction to her score.

However, his gaze kept sweeping over Lin Ye.

"Ye Qi, 40 points for the camp entrance assessment, 20 points for the family-inherited martial arts technique, and 20 points for the performance in the visualization class, for a total of 80 points."

Lin Ye's attention was drawn to the name. He looked at the young man who kept his head down and covered most of his face with a wide hood.

Ye Qi.

Lin Ye had no recollection of the name, nor did he remember any remarkable performance during the camp entrance assessment. However, his score was significantly higher than Lu Jiuxiao and Wei Shuying, reaching 40 points.

"Zhang Daoxuan, 45 points in the camp entrance assessment, 30 points for the family-inherited martial arts, 20 points for the performance in the visualization class, for a total of 95 points."

"Lin Ye, 40 points for the camp entrance assessment, 30 points for the martial arts class, and 30 points for the visualization class, for a total of 100 points."

Nie Cang paused for a moment, then finally uttered the name that everyone had expected.

"Dongfang Zhen, full score of 50 points for the camp entrance assessment, family-inherited martial arts, basic score of 50 points, performance in the visualization class of 25 points, total of 125 points."

Leading by a huge margin!

Upon hearing the score, even Zhang Daoxuan's smile faded slightly.

Dongfang Zhen himself shrugged indifferently, as if winning first place was a matter of course.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Yin Liulan finally spoke.

"You should have seen it too."

"During the training camp, your every move will be observed and recorded by scoring instructors. Good performance will earn you points, and bad performance will deduct points."

"Credits are everything to you in the training camp; they can measure not only your performance."

"It can also be exchanged for anything that is beneficial to your cultivation."

"Including access to various functional facilities, various rare cultivation resources, and..."

"Your living conditions."

Living conditions?

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, and the others also showed confusion on their faces.

Yin Liulan seemed to understand their thoughts and began to explain.

"The accommodation area of ​​the entire training camp is divided into three levels."

"The highest level is a detached villa. Each one is located at a core node of the Gathering Source Formation. Even if you don't go to the Martial Arts Hall, the efficiency of your cultivation in the villa far exceeds that outside."

"Secondly, there are townhouses, which are also for single occupancy, but the facilities and locations are somewhat inferior."

"The worst is a shared apartment for four people. Not only is there no privacy, but it is also located near the edge of the array where the source energy is scarce. Oh, and the toilets and bathrooms there are also public."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed.

They are all the pride of heaven, and they have never suffered such injustice.

"Not only that."

"The meals served each day will vary depending on your academic ranking."

"The lunch you had was the highest-quality meal that was provided free of charge to everyone on the first day."

"Starting tomorrow, if you want to continue using it, you'll have to pay for the credits." Oh, I see.

Lin Ye finally understood.

This is a rule that uses academic credits to divide social classes, forcing everyone into a frenzied competition.

The strong possess everything and grow stronger and stronger.

The weak can only struggle in worse environments and eventually be completely left behind.

Just as everyone was still processing this information, Yin Liulan suddenly took a thick stack of documents from Nie Cang's hand.

That list contains the names and initial rankings of all the trainees.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, she tore the stack of documents into pieces in front of everyone.

Paper scraps flew everywhere.

"After observing the list that was sent to me today, I think there are still significant discrepancies."

Her gaze swept over Lu Jiuxiao.

"For example, the one ranked third on this list, now seems to be nothing special."

Lu Jiuxiao's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He stared at Yin Liulan, his chest heaving, his eyes blazing with fury.

But he finally endured it.

Yin Liulan casually tossed the scraps of paper aside and clapped her hands.

"Therefore, this list is no longer of any reference value. I will conduct a real assessment of you all upon your arrival at the camp."

"At that time, credits will be allocated to you again based on the actual data from the initial assessment."

……

Before long, the six people who were the last to complete the visualization course, including Lin Ye, were taken to a testing room.

The room was filled with various sophisticated instruments that were both familiar and unfamiliar to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was familiar with these instruments because he knew they were used to test data such as blood and qi indices and life indices.

What was unfamiliar was that he had never seen such an advanced model in Dongjiang.

Those students who ended their visualization classes early have already completed the test.

Now that only six of them remain, the testing will proceed quickly.

Perhaps she was tired from what she had just said, because Yin Liulan did not speak again this time.

The person in charge of the explanation was changed to Zhou Yan.

"This preliminary test consists of five parts: Qi and Blood Index, Vitality Index, Mental Strength, and a test of neural reaction and resistance to blows conducted in a virtual environment."

Zhou Yan didn't waste any words and started calling out names directly.

"Lu Jiuxiao, Wei Shuying, you two go first."

The two followed instructions, walked forward, and lay down inside the testing equipment.

The instrument compartment door closed, and a buzzing sound of operation began.

Soon, the data of the two appeared on the huge light screen next to them.

Wei Shuying:
Qi and Blood Index: 397.63
Vitality Index: 188.35
Mental strength: 1247.21!

The moment the three basic data points appeared, Nie Cang and Yin Liulan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's reactions.

Finally, Yin Liulan spoke calmly.

"Add 40 points."

This result surprised those around them.

Wei Shuying's Qi and Blood Index and Life Index are only average among geniuses of this level.

But her mental strength, exceeding a thousand, was truly terrifying.

This is no longer just a matter of exceptional talent; this is practically a monster born specifically for this path.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jiuxiao's data was also displayed.

Qi and Blood Index: 653.54
Vitality Index: 298.61
Mental Strength: 342.37
When Lu Jiuxiao stepped out of the test chamber, the crimson Qilin scales on his body had not completely faded, and the traces of his atavism were still clearly visible.

It's clear that he directly used his martial arts spirituality for this test.

This was clearly approved by Yin Liulan.

What she wants to see is the most extreme, real data for each person.

"Add 35 points."

Yin Liulan's voice rang out again.

Lu Jiuxiao and Wei Shuying are almost two extremes.

One possessed an absurdly strong mental power, while the other had pushed their physical attributes to an alarming level.

It should be noted that many martial artists who have just entered the Condensation Realm have a basic Qi and Blood Index of only around 600 points, and a Life Index of only around 200 points.

Lu Jiuxiao's data has completely surpassed the scope of the Opening Meridian Realm.

"Next group, Ye Qi and Zhang Daoxuan."

The two calmly lay down in the test chamber.

A moment later, new data appeared on the screen.

Ye Qi:

Qi and Blood Index: 514.33
Vitality Index: 332.88
Mental strength: 569.21!

Upon seeing this data, Yin Liulan and Nie Cang exchanged glances again.

In the original list that Yin Liulan tore up, Ye Qi's name was ranked twenty-fourth.

This is a very unremarkable ranking, placing it in the middle of the pack.

Lin Ye couldn't even remember how Ye Qi had passed the camp entrance exam.

Yin Liulan and the others also didn't notice it at first.

It wasn't until the surveillance footage was reviewed that it was discovered that this guy had simply swaggered past the passage guarded by one of the instructors.

The instructor, who was at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, did not react at all from beginning to end.

When questioned afterward, the instructor replied that he had absolutely no memory of that incident.

It wasn't until he saw the surveillance footage with his own eyes that he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He wasn't sure if he had been bewitched or if Ye Qi had mastered some kind of martial arts spirituality that could truly disappear silently and completely.

This is an unexpected and extremely low-key dark horse.

The data he is presenting at this moment is extremely balanced in every aspect, with no weaknesses.

"Add 35 points."

Yin Liulan gave the same score as Lu Jiuxiao.

Subsequently, Zhang Daoxuan's data also appeared on the screen.

Qi and Blood Index: 709.82
Vitality Index: 366.52
Mental Strength: 661.59
"Add 45 points."

It's another monster that's terrifyingly balanced, and in every single statistic, it consistently outperforms everyone else.

Such basic attributes are extremely rare, even among martial artists in the early stages of the Qi Condensation Realm.

"The last group."

Zhou Yan's voice also carried a hint of anticipation.

"Lin Ye, Dongfang Zhen."

Swish!
All attention was focused on the last two people.

With a confident smile on his face, Dongfang Zhen strode forward and was the first to lie down in the test chamber.

Lin Ye followed closely behind and entered another instrument.

The moment the hatch closed, Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Since Lu Jiuxiao can use the Qilin Reversion to increase his basic attributes, then I have a similar skill, so there's no reason not to use it.

Phase transition!

violent!

In an instant, a surge of power spread throughout his body, and Lin Ye felt as if every cell in his body was cheering with joy.

All attributes increased by 80%!

Outside the instrument compartment.

Dongfang Zhen's data appeared on the light screen first.

When the string of numbers was clearly displayed, the expressions on Lu Jiuxiao and the others' faces froze instantly, their pupils reflecting extreme shock.

Even Nie Cang and other instructors who were used to seeing geniuses showed surprise at this moment.

Dongfang Zhen:
Qi and Blood Index: 988.41
Vitality Index: 499.17
Mental Strength: 823.55
Everyone knew that Dongfang Zhen, who was ranked first on the initial list, would have incredibly impressive stats.

But none of them expected it to go this far!
Is this still only at the early stage of the Condensation Realm?
This data is probably even greater than that of those mid-stage Condensation Realm experts!

The life index is even more outrageous!
However, out of the corner of his eye, Nie Cang inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yin Liulan beside him.

He noticed that the head instructor's gaze was not fixed on the screen opposite Dongfang Zhen at all.

She didn't even glance at it.

Her entire attention was fixed on another screen.

That's... Lin Ye's screen!

hum-

The slight whirring of the instrument stopped.

The next moment, three lines of data suddenly lit up on the screen!
The entire testing room fell into an eerie silence.

"hiss--"

Su Yunjin could no longer hold back and gasped. She instinctively reached out and covered her mouth, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with disbelief.

Nie Cang, who was beside her, suddenly leaned forward, as if trying to get closer to see the incredible string of numbers.

Yin Liulan's expression also showed a rare hint of seriousness and doubt.

Lin Ye stepped out of the test chamber.

He didn't even look at his own score immediately; instead, he turned his gaze to the light screen that belonged to Dongfang Zhen not far away.

When Lin Ye saw the three data points, he was also shocked.

Is this the true value of being ranked number one initially?
His Qi and Blood Index is approaching the 1,000 mark, a figure that far exceeds his current level.

The life index is even more terrifying. You should know that even after Lu Jiuxiao used the martial spirituality of the Qilin transformation, this number was only just approaching three hundred.

However, Dongfang Zhen, under normal circumstances, reached a staggering 500 points.

Most importantly, his mental strength is also without any weaknesses. His score of over 800, although not as high as Wei Shuying's 1200+ points (which is unbalanced), is still enough to make him stand out from the crowd.

This number one has no weaknesses.

It's powerful in every way!
Lin Ye once again clearly realized that there was still a gap between himself and this top genius in Ninghai Province.

However, just as Lin Ye was surprised by Dongfang Zhen's data, the latter was also shocked by Lin Ye's data.

Lin Ye clearly saw that the ease on his face had disappeared, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of shock and fervor.

Lin Ye's heart stirred, and he finally turned around to look at his test results.

Lin Ye:

Qi and Blood Index: 1036.36
Vitality Index: 1827.83
Mental Strength: 751.11
