Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?
Chapter 152 Unleashing Potential, Spiritual Factors!
Chapter 152 Unleashing Potential, Spiritual Factors!
Just how outrageous these numbers are can be understood by comparing them with Dongfang Zhen's numbers.
Lin Ye was also somewhat taken aback.
At the same time, he also understood that this was the result of activating [Berserk], which increased all attributes by 80%.
Otherwise, his blood and qi index should be fluctuating around 600 points.
His mental strength is estimated to be around 400 points.
However, for a long time, the talents [Thick Skin] and [Soul Forge] have given him extremely terrifying stamina growth and maximum health bonus.
This made his life index an absolutely terrifying and exaggerated number that could stand out from the crowd!
Even Dongfang Zhen, who was initially ranked first, only barely reached the threshold of 500 points.
At this moment, Lin Ye was more than three times stronger than him!
Nie Cang's gaze as he looked at Lin Ye was completely filled with intense shock.
Lin Ye...
Where on earth did this monster come from?!
"I've met those two prodigies who came out of the training camps in Yanjing and Dijing this year."
Yin Liulan's voice slowly broke the tense atmosphere.
"But their life expectancy is still not as good as yours."
After a moment's thought, she gave her final judgment.
"Dongfang Zhen, add 60 points."
"Lin Ye, add 70 points."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan and several other instructors quickly scribbled their pens across the terminals, recording the scores immediately.
At this point, although Lin Ye's total credits have not yet surpassed Dongfang Zhen's, he has firmly secured the second place.
"continue."
"Neural response test and impact resistance test."
Yin Liulan crossed her arms, completely devoid of the impatience she had shown when facing fifty students earlier; her face now held only pure seriousness and curiosity.
These two tests each have their own merits compared to the mental stress and practical tests Lin Ye experienced during the mock exams in Dongjiang City.
These two data points are also typical core data points that closely align with actual combat.
This time, there was no need to enter the large testing chamber or queue.
There are many virtual devices in the room, enough to allow six people to start at the same time.
Lin Ye put on the specially made CR test bracelet, and the next moment, he entered a pure black virtual space.
The following is a neurological response test.
[After the countdown ends, attacks will be launched randomly from six directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down. There will be a total of 50 attacks, and the speed and frequency will gradually increase over time.]
【Please get ready! 】
Before our eyes, the bright red countdown numbers began to slide down.
Lin Ye understood instantly.
This is a test of pure dodging ability. By testing dodging ability, the time difference between the awareness of an approaching attack and the body's dodging action is determined, and the neural reaction speed is calculated.
This timeframe should naturally be as short as possible.
The ten-second countdown passed in a flash, and Lin Ye was on high alert.
But the anticipated attack did not occur.
This can also be considered a psychological game between the tester and the test subject.
Because you are clearly informed that there will be an attack, but you have no idea when the actual attack will occur, the subsequent surprise attack is even more difficult to defend against.
Ke Linye showed no sign of anxiety.
Not long ago, he had already conducted countless similar evasion training exercises in the rift valley of the occupied area.
The Shadowscale Clan, an alien race from the Abyss that is extremely skilled in disguise and ambush, launched a series of deadly sneak attacks against him amidst the swirling sandstorms.
Whoosh!
Lin Ye's heart stirred slightly, and the next moment, he merely shifted his body slightly to the side.
A sharp attack suddenly pierced through the darkness to his right, grazing the hem of his clothes.
Lin Ye successfully dodged it.
But he knew this was just the beginning.
These kinds of attacks will only become faster, more frequent, and more unreasonable.
More than ten minutes later.
All fifty attack tests are now complete.
Lin Ye also saw his final results.
Successful dodge count: 48/50
[Percentage of effective dodge actions: 96.76%]
Fastest dodge time: 167 microseconds
[Slowest dodging time: 3.63 milliseconds]
Average dodging time: 566 microseconds
[Rating: 93.66]
Lin Ye wasn't particularly satisfied with the result.
He did feel immense pressure to dodge.
His slowest dodging time almost always occurred after more than forty attacks, when the attacks became increasingly tricky and rapid.
Because the dodge maneuver from the previous attack had not been fully completed, the next attack came right afterward.
The stiffness caused by the previous dodge created a huge hindrance, ultimately preventing Lin Ye from completely dodging the last two attacks.
Lin Ye didn't know how others performed, but he understood that this neural reaction speed was, to some extent, positively correlated with both mental and agility attributes.
In addition, there are individual differences, which are indeed difficult to quantify with a single numerical value.
Before Lin Ye could think it over, the second test began quickly.
[The following is a test of impact resistance.]
You will be immobilized for an extended period, unable to avoid attacks through blocking or dodging.
This test aims to evaluate your performance in real combat when you are unable to dodge or block attacks due to mistakes.
The attacks will intensify and increase in number over time, gradually targeting vital points.
All pain and impact feedback have been disabled.
Aside from being unable to move or block, you can use any other means to minimize the damage you take with each hit.
This test is quite interesting.
Simply put, it's about turning yourself into a punching bag that can only passively take hits.
This kind of test might sound silly and doesn't meet the requirements of a real battlefield.
After all, no fool would stand still and let the enemy attack them.
Counterintuitively, in the ever-changing reality of combat, situations where one cannot dodge and must withstand the attack head-on are quite common.
In situations like these, whoever is more resilient has a higher margin for error and may truly become the key to life or death.
After a moment's thought, Lin Ye made up his mind.
First, activate [Shadow Scale] to cover the entire body.
While Shadowscale's strength doesn't lie in defense, it should be more than enough to deal with the initial attack.
Once your attack power increases and you enter the second phase, then activate [Berserk].
Although it would sacrifice 15% of his current health, Lin Ye's current [Berserk] level has already eliminated the negative effect of self-bleeding.
Trading 15% of your health for a massive 80% increase in defense is a huge win no matter how you look at it.
……
after an hour.
Inside the virtual testing room, the others had finished their tests and woken up from the virtual world.
But everyone tacitly stayed put, their gazes all fixed on the last student who still had his eyes closed.
It’s Lin Ye.
Dongfang Zhen stroked his chin, his expression a mixture of amazement and disbelief.
Although I knew his life index was ridiculously high and his ability to withstand beatings was definitely strong, it's been more than an hour and he still hasn't been killed, which is too exaggerated.
Zhang Daoxuan sat to the side, his eyes slightly closed, but the slight twitching of his eyebrows betrayed his inner turmoil.
"I'm curious about the intensity of the attack he's being subjected to at this moment."
Those who came out early knew that the nature of the attack would completely change after twenty minutes of the test.
It's no longer a simple blunt blow with a stick.
Swords, spears, halberds, and various other sharp weapons were used in combination to launch attacks, targeting vital points, with the frequency and force increasing at a terrifying rate.
That was a real, potentially fatal attack.
After a while, Lin Ye finally opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes and felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
Although the pain sensation is blocked, mental fatigue is real.
Lin Ye was taken aback when he saw everyone outside staring at him as if he were a monster.
Zhou Yan cleared his throat, breaking the silence in the room.
He glanced at the data on the terminal and announced the results of the last two tests.
"Lu Jiuxiao, your neurological reaction test score is 86.72, and your endurance test time is 24 minutes and 17 seconds. Add 10 points."
"Wei Shuying, neurological reaction test score 96.81, impact resistance test duration 20 minutes and 55 seconds, add 25 points."
"Ye Qi, your neurological reaction test score is 91.08, and your endurance test time is 49 minutes and 41 seconds. Add 25 points."
"Zhang Daoxuan, neurological reaction test score 95.87, impact resistance test duration 31 minutes and 35 seconds, add 25 points."
"Dongfang Zhen, neurological reaction test score 98.95, impact resistance test duration 42 minutes and 57 seconds, add 40 points."
"Lin Ye, your neurological reaction test score is 93.66, and your endurance test time is 69 minutes and 32 seconds. Add 40 points."
Lin Ye understood as he listened to the list of results.
His ability to withstand beatings is indeed his most outstanding strength.
Even Ye Qi, the dark horse who persisted for nearly fifty minutes, was completely incomparable to him.
Because he clearly understood that the attack intensity at forty-nine minutes and the attack intensity sixty minutes later were completely different concepts. If you were to convert these geniuses' vitality data into health bars...
His own health bar was probably longer than all of theirs combined.
With this, all the tests on the first day of camp have come to a successful conclusion.
With virtually no weaknesses in any aspect and even topping the list in a large number of data points, Dongfang Zhen proved the value of his first-place ranking before entering the camp.
Lin Ye, on the other hand, seemed to have taken off like a rocket, jumping from 41st place to 2nd place.
Zhang Daoxuan also rose from fourth to third.
As a reward for being among the top three, Lin Ye and his two companions naturally received the right to stay in the best-looking detached villa at the foot of Lingxiu Mountain.
In addition, the cultivation resources they receive each day far exceed those of other students.
……
As the sun sets, it casts a warm golden glow on the verdant bamboo forest.
Lin Ye put down his luggage and took a walk around his villa.
The villa has a spacious interior, a simple decor, and all the necessary amenities.
There shouldn't be any need for fighting until the next morning.
Lin Ye changed into a loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt and completely relaxed.
As night slowly fell, the feeling of hunger in my stomach also began.
It's time to go to dinner.
dong dong!
A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Ye opened it to see Dongfang Zhen standing outside.
He also changed out of his heavy armor and into a simple black short-sleeved shirt. Although he was still tall and strong, Lin Ye could finally connect him with the fact that he was "the same age as him".
Previously, Dongfang Zhen looked like an older man.
"Brother Lin, let's go eat."
"After we eat, I'll take you to a great place that will greatly benefit your awakening of martial arts spirituality."
"Even if you can't awaken it immediately, we can still measure your level of martial arts spiritual potential."
"Brother Daoxuan said he would also go, but he said he is currently fasting and won't be eating with us."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed, going out with him.
The two walked side by side, chatting happily, attracting envious glances from other students who had just come out of the regular dormitory area.
They envied Lin Ye, of course.
Everyone knows that Dongfang Zhen has a terrifying background, and his family holds a pivotal position in Daxia. Being able to befriend such a person will undoubtedly make the road ahead much easier.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Lin Ye and Dongfang Zhen paid 10 credits and went to the third floor, where there were the fewest people and the most abundant dishes.
Lin Ye discovered that the dinner was a level above the lunch.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting credits, the plate in front of him quickly piled up into a small mountain.
Dongfang Zhen himself is also a good-for-nothing.
Seeing Lin Ye's posture, he was also aroused by a strange competitive spirit.
Finally, when the table in front of them was piled high with animal bones and scraps, they let out a satisfied burp, got up, and left the cafeteria.
Dongfang Zhen led Lin Ye to a special building they had passed on their way up the mountain.
The building is simple and elegant, with two instructors standing with their hands behind their backs in front of the gate. The plaque has three large characters written in a flamboyant style: Ling Shu Hall.
"Two students, please pay 100 credits to enter."
One of the instructors, expressionless, reached out and stopped the two people who wanted to enter.
Lin Ye was speechless.
It costs 100 credits just to enter once?
He only earned a little over 100 credits all day today.
It seems that the machine Dongfang Zhen mentioned, which can stimulate a martial artist's potential and induce the awakening of martial arts spirituality, is indeed rare.
The two students earned the required credits and were successfully admitted.
Lin Ye was somewhat taken aback as soon as he stepped into the Ling Shu Hall.
The room is small, so you need to take off your shoes and go barefoot.
The ground was paved with some unknown material, covered with numerous intricate patterns that resembled both ancient runes and sophisticated integrated circuits, emitting a faint glow.
In the center of the room, the most striking feature is the three concentric metal rings suspended side by side beneath the soaring ceiling.
The ring, with a diameter of over ten meters, is slowly rotating at varying speeds.
Beneath the three rings, a visible energy field was enveloped.
Within the force field, a figure sat cross-legged, none other than Zhang Daoxuan.
Dongfang Zhen led Lin Ye to sit down on a futon nearby and began to explain in a low voice.
"This is a panorama."
"There are fewer than twenty of these high-precision spiritual awakening devices in the entire Great Xia Dynasty."
"The Universal Mirror is extremely expensive to build and maintain. Its core materials can only be obtained from the extremely dangerous Tianyuan Third World, so it is rarely used on a daily basis."
"During the training camp, we can only come in once a day, and each time we can only use it for thirty minutes."
Lin Ye nodded, his gaze falling on Zhang Daoxuan below the machine.
The latter had his brows furrowed, as if he were under immense pressure.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Daoxuan, who was inside the force field, slowly opened his eyes.
The three shimmering rings gradually stopped rotating, and the energy field dissipated.
He stood up, his Taoist robe soaked with sweat.
hum-
Lin Ye clearly heard a slight hum emanating from the ancient iron sword behind him.
"Brother Daoxuan, how was it? Did you gain anything from this potential activation?" Dongfang Zhen asked with a smile.
Zhang Daoxuan smiled and said, "There have been some gains, although it's still a long way from awakening the next level of spirituality."
"But my understanding of martial arts spirituality has improved a little more."
Dongfang Zhen offered his congratulations.
Then, he looked at Lin Ye, extended his right hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"Brother Lin, you go first."
Lin Ye didn't stand on ceremony.
I took a deep breath, and a strong sense of anticipation welled up inside me.
He had long been curious about what kind of martial arts talent he might possess.
If he can successfully awaken today, his combat power should continue to rise significantly.
"Thank you."
Lin Ye thanked Dongfang Zhen.
Dongfang Zhen waved his hand, his smile unchanged.
"I am still a long way from awakening my martial arts spirituality again."
"I estimate that we'll only have a chance when we reach the Divine Realm."
"Anyway, I'll just be strengthening my existing spirituality like Brother Daoxuan when I go in, so there's no rush."
He paused, his expression turning serious, and began to explain to Lin Ye.
"Brother Lin, there are some things I need to tell you before you officially activate the All-Seeing Mirror."
"First of all, regarding the spirituality of martial arts, you must first understand its essence."
"The awakening of martial arts spirituality, according to my elders, is actually the resonance between our soul and spirit and the unseen and intangible laws of the universe."
"At the same time, it is also related to the evolution of each of our life levels."
"Research has shown that a spiritual factor exists in everyone's body, and the higher a person's life index, the more spiritual factors they naturally accumulate, and the higher their quality."
Lin Ye understood.
No wonder Chen Meng had told him before that the awakening of martial arts spirituality is related to the life index and the strength of mental power.
Now, this clue has finally been completely connected.
Dongfang Zhen continued, "Everyone's soul characteristics and spiritual factors have specific resonance tendencies. For example, some people are naturally affinity with fire, while others are particularly sensitive to changes in space."
"And this Omni-Phenomenon Device works by burning the core material, Dao Dust, to emit a special force field that precisely detects the resonance tendencies within your body."
"Then, it will guide you through gravity and special frequency sound and radio waves, helping you to actively move in these directions, activate those dormant spiritual factors, and ultimately help you awaken your own martial arts spirituality."
"However, you should also be careful."
"The awakening process is the period when spiritual factors are most active and unstable. Once the mind is lost, it may lead to spiritual rampage. Although the protection of the omnipotent instrument will prevent major accidents, it will still cause considerable damage to the soul."
Lin Ye nodded and memorized all the key points.
Without further hesitation, he stepped into the three slowly rotating concentric circles.
As soon as he stepped into the force field, Lin Ye felt the air around him instantly become viscous, and an invisible pressure squeezed in from all directions.
At the same time, the gravity in the force field is also constantly increasing at a steady rate.
Following Dongfang Zhen's instructions, Lin Ye sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
After recognizing and confirming Lin Ye's identity, the omnidirectional imaging system slowly started up.
hum-
The three metal rings above his head started spinning faster, and the buzzing sound they emitted became louder.
Lin Ye felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the ring, like the most precise probe, constantly scanning and penetrating deep into his body, reaching every cell.
He looked inside intently.
Soon, he discovered that a kind of illusory substance, which he had never seen before, was gradually separating from the meridians in his body and the cells in his body.
These substances, like gold dust or flowing mercury, shimmered with a faint light, as if they were the most primal sparks of life.
This must be the "spiritual factor" that Dongfang Zhen mentioned.
