Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang was also very fortunate, as he had been improving his strength and spiritual power within a certain range over the past two days.

The spiritual power intensity has increased from the original 1000p to the current 1300p.

Within the realm of first-tier martial artists, he has already reached the late stage of first-tier and is slowly progressing towards the peak of first-tier.

However, his original ability was to advance from the first level to the second level. His impulsiveness did not completely absorb his rationality, but he made a very wise choice.

In order to prepare for entering the brain-enhancing space, he rejected the method of quickly advancing to the second tier this time, and instead chose to save this state until he passed the test in the brain-enhancing space.

He is very confident in himself and believes that he can gain a place in the Brainpower Enhancement Space and successfully obtain the rewards and treasures that belong to him.

Any treasure obtained from the space must be evaluated and measured entirely based on one's own strength.

Therefore, the adequacy of their current preparations is directly proportional to the rewards and gains they will receive in the brain-enhancing space.

That's why they are willing to put in a lot of effort in this area and dare not slack off in the slightest.

Through continuous practice, they are able to demonstrate their abilities in each situation.

In reality, their individual abilities have reached their current peak, and they can maintain this peak state for a relatively long period of time.

With time, everyone indeed reached their physical peak. From this perspective, they also gave their all to cope with this test.

This is not only a test for them as a whole in the Central National Synthesis Competition, but also a test for themselves in the brain-like amplification space.

Because the first test they need to face in the brainpower enhancement space is basically as everyone understands it, and it is not much different from what Lei She told them.

It involves facing a simulated opponent in the brain-amplified space, a virtual opponent whose abilities are on a higher level than one's own, and then being assessed.

How to deal with this becomes a crucial issue.

Among them, there are various situations and methods in which one's abilities cannot be supplemented through monster crystal cores or artificial crystal cores.

And to improve one's own strength and abilities.

Therefore, even if they bring anything in, whether it's a monster core or an artificial core, it will have absolutely no effect on restoring their strength in the brain-enhancing space.

Therefore, he can only rely on his own abilities to compensate and supplement in the real world, because once he enters the brain-amplified space, those things will have no effect.

What were the final results?

Everything depends on them, on what kind of ability and stage they can demonstrate in this area.

At this level of ability, the ability that truly matches their gains is the optimal spiritual energy state that they seek for their current physical condition.

Soon, Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng became the first and second place finishers among the top eight contestants.

They have completed the adjustments they made to their own bodies.

After completing their own physical adjustments, they are quietly waiting for the others to begin their preparations.

The preparation process for others took significantly longer than for the two of them.

Furthermore, after some reflection, Gu Yi's mindset underwent a slight change.

He had rashly upgraded his physical abilities to the third tier because he wanted to have a thoroughly enjoyable battle with Zhang Chaoqiang.

He also anticipated that the difficulty of his assessment would be even higher in the brain-enhancing space.

However, he didn't care. In fact, he had absolute confidence that he could complete any test or difficulty in the brain augmentation space based on his appearance.

Of course, everything before had happened naturally. If he were to actively suppress his strength, he would have no choice, since his strength was already equivalent to that of a third-tier martial artist, and the overall strength between the two could be considered equal.

Chapter 291 Return

After a full morning of adjustment, all the quarterfinalists have completed their preparations and are now in their best physical condition.

Having reached a state where his physical spiritual energy was at its peak and his preparations were at their strongest, he had begun his final preparations.

The instant they stepped completely into the brain-amplified space, Resher reminded them to be careful.

The assessments inside may be very simple for some people, but very difficult for others.

When faced with a difficult situation, all you can do is try your best and use your brain to think things through.

Try to find a key way to break the deadlock.

However, if they have exhausted all their abilities and wisdom and still cannot reverse the situation, then these contestants should not try to show off.

Because there are many dangers and interferences in the brain-enhancing space, these difficulties will further erode people's desire to win and may cause mental flaws in the contestants who enter.

Once this flaw appears in people's minds and thoughts, the situation they face becomes extremely difficult to choose.

Under these circumstances, a special condition they can achieve will arise: they must maintain their abilities and confidence, and immediately leave the brain augmentation space if they discover anything amiss.

Even in the past...

There were also quite a few contestants who gave up halfway through entering the highest-level secret realm of the Central Kingdom, the Brain Enhancement Space, and quickly came out of it.

Because the challenges and difficulties they faced were far beyond their imagination and the scope of their abilities.

Therefore, when they did not have the ability, they resolutely chose to give up, which was the wisest choice and the most commendable action.

Despite their efforts, they did not achieve any results or gains in the space for brain augmentation.

But at least they preserved their lives and safety, and even their path in martial arts.

There are some very special cases, such as those who, despite facing great danger and difficulties, are still unwilling to completely stop their abilities and break free from the brain-amplified space.

This resulted in the body suffering tremendous expansion and damage within the brain's amplification space, leading to irreversible bodily injury.

Some of the participants have suffered injuries that go far beyond simple injuries.

Instead, it caused life-threatening dangers, which directly jeopardized his entire martial arts path and personal safety.

In the brain-amplified space, they are unable to confront their own abilities and are thus completely overwhelmed by these so-called dangers. Under these circumstances, their physical strength is essentially unable to withstand the tests conducted within the brain-amplified space.

This is a secret realm with the highest level of authority in the Central State, not a small test that can be entered and exited at will.

He would not provide any guarantee of personal safety for the martial artists who entered, as the dangers inside were usually unimaginable.

Therefore, Lei She told everyone, including Gu Yizheng and Zhang Chaoqiang, not to have any other unrealistic ideas.

When faced with an opponent or test that far exceeds one's own capabilities, one must never choose to persist in any other state in a meaningless way.

The wisest choice to protect one's life is to resolutely give up one's assessment.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope," meaning that as long as one's life is in the hands of the participants, they can always rebuild.

So compared to everything else, these are all fleeting clouds, and they will basically not be disturbed by anything.

These situations are precisely the kind of phenomena that they need to remind and pay attention to.

Under Resher's strong instructions, the eight contestants basically understood what they should do in what situations.

This reminder was firmly imprinted in their minds, and even Zhang Chaoqiang was no exception; he had previously admitted that he had not thought about it.

The current situation is even more beyond the control of Leishe and others.

It was only later that they learned that this highest-level secret realm of the Central Kingdom was not actually created by the Central Kingdom.

It is a secret realm that existed since ancient times, but the Central Kingdom has designated it as its own territory and has been monitoring it in real time.

Under this state of takeover, a special secret realm situation has been formed.

This special secret realm is so powerful that even some martial arts experts in the Central Kingdom are not capable of analyzing and overwhelming the entire situation within it through sheer strength.

Even martial arts experts at the eighth or ninth rank face the same trials upon entering: they must confront virtual opponents of equal or even superior strength, as well as various other challenging tests...

They also lack the ability to fully utilize their strength for overwhelming dominance and rampage through the brain-amplified space; this deficiency is a special case and manifestation.

It was fully revealed, showing that they were also in a situation where they had no control over their own destiny.

The potential for growth in brain-related technologies presents a dangerous predicament, which is evident to some extent.

The manifestation of the brain-like amplification space has become a rule that completely overrides everyone.

Even the strongest martial saint of our time, or any other powerful martial artist, are no exception; they all must abide by the rules they must follow within the brain-amplified space.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Chaoqiang made a resolute decision, adhering to the principle of "where there's life, there's hope."

Of course, if he encounters a method or situation that threatens his life, he will definitely choose to save his own life.

I will absolutely not be too attached to those so-called rewards.

Because he already has so much, life is his most precious possession, not those external things.

As Lei She just mentioned repeatedly, "Where there's life, there's hope."

Zhang Chaoqiang also strongly agreed with this principle: if a person dies, even if he has a lot of cultivation resources, it all becomes a bubble and an illusion.

Therefore, throughout history, there have always been countless coincidences and coincidences. In some remote mountain caves, grottoes, or secret realms, people often die.

The treasures they left behind were then harvested by other martial artists who explored the area. This situation is like giving something away for someone else's benefit; once they're gone, no matter how much cultivation resources they possess, they can't enjoy them and they only become the profit of those who come after them.

Therefore, if he sees anything amiss, he will likely leave without a trace of doubt or hesitation, but this kind of thinking is almost entirely conservative.

Because in the current situation, after a whole year of activating his inner spiritual power, he has not yet encountered an opponent who is completely on par with him.

At least in Zhang Chaoqiang's martial arts career, during his school years, he had never encountered such a situation.

Even Gu Yi, who was previously facing a situation beyond his control, could only suffer in silence for no reason.

I managed to control myself for almost half an hour.

Therefore, when facing opponents at the same level, or even those who are a level above him, Zhang Chaoqiang is absolutely certain that he can remain completely undefeated.

This situation truly demonstrated his conviction and immense self-confidence under such circumstances, which later became the key to his repeated victories.

Of the remaining seven quarterfinalists, only Gu Yizheng had a completely different idea from Zhang Chaoqiang.

Gu Yizheng's thoughts at this moment were the opposite of Zhang Chaoqiang's.

He was extremely eager to gain the rewards and resources he desired within the brain-enhancing space.

He knew that some special gains could change his current situation and destiny, and the gains in the amplification space were often very surprising and unexpected.

This effect cannot be achieved through ordinary, gradual external resources.

Because he had long considered the potential for brain-related growth as one of his anticipated rewards.

After all, it's a place you can only visit once a year, and you absolutely can't waste such a rare opportunity.

The most important thing was the situation on the scene, plus the presence of Zhang Chaoqiang as an opponent. Where the two appeared at the same time, Gu Yizheng had the idea of ​​open and covert competition and comparison.

Of course, this idea only comes to Gu Yizheng's mind; Zhang Chaoqiang will not have the same idea or situation.
