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

Chapter 153 S+ Rank Martial Arts Spirituality, Third Stage!

Under the influence of the omnipotent force field, these originally scattered spiritual factors began to be drawn together by an invisible force.

Following specific directions and combinations, it began to circulate rapidly within his body.

The humming sound of the globe camera growing louder and sharper was becoming increasingly intense.

The spiritual particles that were activated and dispersed within Lin Ye's body became more and more numerous and dense, almost forming a golden stream within him.

Outside the force field, Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan, who had been relatively relaxed, now had serious expressions on their faces.

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's reactions.

"Isn't this commotion... a bit too loud?"

Dongfang Zhen stroked his chin, looking quite interested.

Zhang Daoxuan didn't speak, but ripples appeared in his usually calm eyes.

Previously, when he used the panorama, although the machine also hummed, it was always a steady and low sound.

But now, the sound is almost deafening, as if a sleeping behemoth is awakening!

There is only one explanation.

The core of the panorama camera is operating at full power at an unprecedented speed!

This also indirectly shows that the spiritual factors contained in Lin Ye's body have reached an extremely exaggerated level, both in quantity and quality!

……

at the same time.

Qiming Generals Training Camp, Main Control Center.

A middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat and with thinning hair was rushing towards the chief instructor's office, sweating profusely.

"Chief Instructor Yin! Chief Instructor Yin!"

The office door was flung open.

Yin Liulan was leaning back in her chair, resting with her eyes closed, when she was interrupted by the sudden noise. She slowly opened her eyes and frowned as she looked at the person who had come in.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"The omnidirectional instrument in the Ling Shu Hall... is malfunctioning!"

The researcher, panting heavily, continued, "The backend system just detected that the geoscope is operating at full power!"

"The consumption rate of the Dao Inquiry Dust has exceeded twice the usual value! In just a few minutes, the amount consumed is equivalent to what other people use once!"

He anxiously asked, "Should we stop the machine immediately? If this continues, the core components may be overloaded and damaged!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Liulan's face showed a hint of surprise, but even more so, curiosity.

Far from feeling any pity for the machine, she relaxed and became interested.

Who is using the machine now?

As soon as she finished speaking, the office door was pushed open again, and Zhou Yan, sweating profusely, strode in.

"We just received an alarm too... Chief Instructor, the person currently using the machine... is Lin Ye!"

"Just now, Dongfang Zhen took him to the Ling Shu Hall."

A barely perceptible smile curved the corners of Yin Liulan's lips.

Sure enough it was him.

"Pull up the surveillance footage from Ling Shu Hall."

She sat down, her tone indifferent.

"Also, don't make a fuss and stop the machine all the time. People have paid for the credits, so they should be allowed to use it for the full amount of time."

"Isn't the purpose of this machine to cultivate geniuses? If you're worried about the cost, you might as well just leave it there as an exhibit."

The researcher responsible for maintaining and repairing the machines stammered a few words.

In the end, he didn't say anything more, only his face was full of sorrow.

As the head instructor of the training camp who was parachuted in, you certainly wouldn't care about the wear and tear on the machines.

Zhou Yan immediately started operating on the terminal.

However, before he could even pull up the surveillance footage, the researcher's expression changed drastically again, and his voice trembled.

"Something terrible has happened...!"

"Overclocked! The holographic engine is already running at full power, and now... it's preparing to overclock!"

"This...this is a situation we've never encountered before! The concentration of spiritual factors in this student's body is too high! The instrument can no longer complete the search and guidance at normal power!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan also felt a chill run down his spine.

He understood the principle behind the gimbal.

The most crucial core ingredient is a strange material called "Wen Dao Chen".

The name sounds poetic, but its origin is actually quite cruel.

Only after the world behind the abyss rift collapses and vanishes can it be born.

Even a small amount of Daoist dust weighs several tons.

No one knows its true nature, only that the world's top experts assert that it contains fragments of the world's most fundamental principles and laws.

Now, in order to guide Lin Ye to awaken, this rare and precious material is being consumed at an extremely terrifying rate.

After hearing the report, Yin Liulan felt no heartache at all for the so-called maintenance expenses and the consumption of Dao Chen. Instead, her eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at the monitoring screen that Zhou Yan had just brought up.

On the screen, Lin Ye sat cross-legged, his body enveloped in a dazzling energy field, his expression focused.

"interesting……"

Yin Liulan muttered to herself.

What kind of martial arts spirituality will you awaken?

……

As the omnidirectional instrument entered overclocking mode, Lin Ye gradually felt that almost all the spiritual factors in his body became restless, like a flood about to break through the dam.

He could sense that he was at a critical point of transformation.

But... it was just a little bit short.

time flies.

More than twenty minutes passed.

That thin veil of paper between them remained unbroken for a long time.

Lin Ye, with his eyes closed and focused inward, could only see the active spiritual energy within his body gathering and surging.

Yet I never sensed any clear signs of spiritual awakening.

Lin Ye's heart sank slightly.

Could it be that I haven't reached the standard for awakening yet?

The awakening of martial arts spirituality is indeed not so easy.

However, Dongfang Zhen also said that even if the Myriad Images Mirror cannot help someone awaken successfully in one go, it can greatly accelerate the subsequent awakening process.

At least, I've taken a big step in the right direction.

Thinking about this, he felt relieved.

The roar gradually subsided and finally returned to calm.

The three dazzling rings above their heads gradually slowed down and eventually dimmed.

Lin Ye felt that the terrifying gravity exerted on him was slowly returning to normal levels.

Thirty minutes later, we arrived.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the astonished faces of Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan.

The next moment, Lin Ye himself also noticed the abnormality.

He saw that several simple and antique decorative items inside the Ling Shu Hall were silently floating in mid-air, swaying slightly.

At the same time, the hair of Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan opposite him stood on end, as if attracted by static electricity.

Finally, Lin Ye looked down and discovered that the floor beneath him, made of an unknown material, seemed to have been twisted by an invisible hand.

Centered on him, fine spiral folds formed!

And his position is at the center of all the folds and twists!

Lin Ye was a little stunned, and he slowly stood up.

Just as he stood up.

"Clap!"

"boom!"

Everything that floated up made a series of dull thuds as it slammed back onto the table.

The hair of Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan, which had stood upside down, instantly returned to normal.

Only the strange spiral folds on the ground remained unchanged.

The entire Ling Shu Hall has returned to its previous tranquility and antiquity.

Lin Ye stood there, lost in thought.

He was certain that he had not awakened any martial arts spirituality, and the system had not given him any notifications about acquiring any skills or talents.

But did that strange phenomenon just now also signify something?
Dongfang Zhen snapped out of his daze and looked at Lin Ye, who had emerged from the force field, his face full of amazement.

"This scale of anomalies can be caused during the potential activation stage..."

His smile was undisguised, radiating genuine excitement.

"Brother Lin, have you successfully awakened? Judging from the commotion just now, is your awakened martial arts spirituality related to mental power?"

Zhang Daoxuan was startled.

Telekinesis.

This kind of martial arts spirituality is absolutely top-tier. Looking at the world, among billions of martial artists, only a mere hundred people can obtain this kind of spirituality.

Psychic power is formless and intangible, unpredictable and mysterious. Whether used to attack enemies or control objects, it is considered one of the most powerful martial arts spiritualities.

Meanwhile, inside the main control center, Yin Liulan and Zhou Yan, who had been quietly watching the scene, also had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Telekinesis...

This is a martial arts spirituality that has reached the S-level rating.

Anyone who awakens an S-level martial arts spirituality, as long as they don't perish along the way, will at least achieve the level of a Martial Saint in the future!
However, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Ye shook his head.

He stated that he had not successfully awakened.

As for those unusual phenomena he had just witnessed, he himself was completely baffled.

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Daoxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He's already a monster; if he were given an S-rank martial arts spirituality capable of causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, then the top spot in this training camp would truly be a foregone conclusion.

His original goal was to compete with Dongfang Zhen for the top spot in the training camp.

Now it seems that the threat posed by Lin Ye is equally enormous.

"Not awakened? What a pity."

In the control center, Yin Liulan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"It's alright, Brother Lin."

Dongfang Zhen didn't seem to mind at all; instead, he offered words of comfort.

"A martial arts spirituality capable of producing pre-awakening phenomena must be of a very high level. Go check out the Universal Instrument's assessment of your potential."

Lin Ye was taken aback.

Potential assessment? There's such a thing?
Immediately, everyone's attention, including Yin Liulan and Zhou Yan who were far away in the main control center, was focused on the light screen in the center of the omnipresent device.

[Name: Lin Ye]

[Spiritual Factor Quantity Rating: S+]

[Spiritual Factor Quality Rating: S+]

[Potential for Martial Arts Spiritual Awakening: Extremely High]

[Martial Arts Spiritual Awakening Prediction Level: S+]

The three glaring S+ marks greatly alleviated Lin Ye's disappointment.

"Haha! See, I guessed right!"

Dongfang Zhen burst into laughter.

"It's because the martial arts spirituality you're about to awaken is too strong that you can't awaken it successfully in such a short time."

Lin Ye also accepted this explanation.

If it can be awakened very easily, then it is destined not to be a powerful martial arts spirituality.

Rather than having a useless ability.

He might as well hold it in and get a good result in the end.

Inside the main control center, Zhou Yan could barely contain his shock when he saw the three S+ ratings.

"S+ rating in martial arts spiritual potential!"

However, Yin Liulan, who was standing next to him, was not nearly as excited as she had been when she saw the Universal Instruments operating at overclock.

"Potential is ultimately just potential."

"No one can predict whether this S+ level martial arts spirituality will be awakened, or when it will be awakened."

"Until it actually appears, the S+ rating is just a pipe dream."

Her voice was flat.

After saying that, Yin Liulan turned off the surveillance video.

……

Inside the Ling Shu Hall.

Zhang Daoxuan nodded slightly to Lin Ye and Dongfang Zhen, then turned and left.

He had no reason to stay here any longer.

Lin Ye sat down on the futon and waited quietly for Dongfang Zhen.

Since the two of them came together, there was no reason for him to leave first.

Dongfang Zhen no longer stood on ceremony and walked under the omnipotent instrument to begin his own potential activation and spiritual enhancement.

hum-

Almost the instant he sat down, the omnipotent device roared violently again, and the three rings of light shone brightly, directly entering full-power operation.

Lin Ye stared intently at it.

He saw fine, blue-purple arcs of electricity gradually appearing on Dongfang Zhen's exposed arms, neck, and face.

The electric arcs appeared from nothing, becoming increasingly dense, and eventually even intertwined into a web on his body surface!

Amidst the crackling sounds, the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the air, and a wave of scorching heat rushed towards him, causing Lin Ye to feel a stinging sensation on his skin.

Speaking of unusual phenomena, there were also unusual phenomena when Dongfang Zhen used the Myriad Phenomena Instrument!

In the end, Dongfang Zhen's body began to become somewhat illusory, as if his whole body was about to transform into a ball of violent lightning!

Half an hour later, the omnidirectional display slowly came to a stop.

Dongfang Zhen opened his eyes, and the lightning that filled the sky instantly subsided, returning to his soul and body. The feeling of ionization and etherealization also disappeared.

Seeing that Lin Ye was still waiting for him, he stood up and smiled, "Your spiritual enhancement has improved a lot this time."

He seemed to sense Lin Ye's confusion and took the initiative to explain.

"In addition to the rarity of martial arts spirituality, there are also levels of development."

“Nowadays, all countries have made specific classifications of the martial arts spirituality of all martial artists, and the development level is also divided into five levels: the first level is the initial manifestation, the second level is the resonance, the third level is the domain, the fourth level is the mimicry, and the fifth level is the ultimate.”

"For example, my martial arts talent is innate. When it was first awakened, I could only release a weak current, which is considered the first level: initial manifestation."

"And now, I'm almost at the threshold of the fourth level of mimicry."

A wave of emotion surged within Lin Ye.

Reaching the fifth level of mastery, does that mean that Dongfang Zhen's true form can completely transform into lightning?

What other attack could possibly harm him?

What could possibly keep up with his speed?

He subconsciously glanced at the potential rating of Dongfang Zhen on the light screen.

Unsurprisingly, Dongfang Zhen's rarity rating for martial arts talent is also S.

Although it hasn't reached S+, it represents a genuine awakening and development of martial arts spirituality to an extremely high degree.

For now, all I have is hope.

The two walked side by side as they exited the Ling Shu Hall.

Unbeknownst to him, Dongfang Zhen suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction on the mountainside.

Lin Ye followed his gaze.

Under the cover of night, the ancient nine-story stone pagoda stood silently, and even from a distance, one could feel a sense of oppression.

"Brother Lin, I've always been curious about what's inside the Nirvana Tower. It's still early, shall we go take a look together?"

Lin Ye nodded in agreement: "Okay."

He was also very interested in the tower.

He hadn't yet recognized all the buildings and facilities in the training camp, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the novelty to explore them all.

Before long, the two arrived at the foot of the tower.

Only after getting closer did they discover more details.

The entire stone tower is built of a dark gray boulder, and its body is covered with traces of wind and rain erosion, making it look ancient and weathered.

All the window-like structures were completely sealed off by thick stone slabs and metal bars, leaving only narrow gaps from which an unsettling darkness emanated.

At the entrance at the bottom of the tower stood four training camp instructors with solemn expressions.

"Two trainees, please stop."

One of the instructors reached out and stopped them.

"The Nirvana Tower is not open to you at the moment. Please come back in a week!"

"A week later?"

Dongfang Zhen was somewhat disappointed.

He had already experienced real combat, and quite a few Tianyuan aliens had died at his hands. He had originally planned to take advantage of the strengthening of his spirituality and the itch to kill a few aliens to practice his skills.

It seems we have no choice but to head back home.

However, Lin Ye, who was standing to the side, suddenly heard a notification sound in his mind that shocked him!
[Ding! The host has detected the ultimate lord of the current area!]

[Special Phase Task Released!]

[Quest: Molten Core!]

[Description: In the shadow of the tower, a rage from another world is imprisoned. The lava has never cooled; its heart still burns, waiting to break free of its shackles and reduce everything to ashes.]

Go forth, and before it regains its freedom, transform its power into the ladder to your summit!

[Mission Objective: Enter the Nirvana Tower and defeat the Level 45 Molten Demon Lord Balan!]

[Mission Rewards: 50 Experience Points, 15 Skill Points, Unlock New Stage: P3!]

The third phase of the unlocking missions is finally here!

Lin Ye suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the night, looking straight at the top of the nine-story stone tower. His expression became more fervent than ever before.
