My stats are higher than yours!

Can you pass the Trial of Courage?

What a joke!

Many years ago, there was a genius of extraordinary talent who invented a loan-based fighting method. He would exchange attributes by imposing restrictions, and then use these attributes to fight, attempting to pass the Trial of Courage.

The final result is...

A genius who imposed many constraints was invincible on the battlefield, but was ultimately betrayed and killed by the kingdom's high command, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

After he came out, he launched a three-day, three-night tirade against the nobleman of that kingdom online, posting thousands of messages and countless comments.

He was the closest to success, but ultimately failed. The kingdom's internal corruption, the demons' formidable strength, and the constraints imposed by the shackles... making it too difficult to complete the game.

the most important is

After that, his fighting style was successfully recorded into the memory bank, causing the monster stats in the Trial of Courage to increase significantly, making the challenge even more difficult.

Bai Shuodong shrugged. If the other party didn't believe him when he told the truth, there was nothing he could do about it.

...

School of Psionicists

In front of the Dean of Students' office

Bai Shuodong smiled, straightened his clothes, and pushed the door open, his movements confident and composed.

"Ok?"

Old Bi, who was looking at the form, frowned. When he looked up, he found that the person who came was Bai Shuodong.

His temper immediately improved, and he became more patient, asking calmly, "What brings you here, kid? Is there something you need from me?"

"I have mastered psionic power."

Bai Shuodong said.

"Ok?"

Old Bi was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and asked to confirm, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Correct."

Bai Shuodong raised his hand, and azure spiritual energy was released from his hand. Then, the spiritual energy transformed into a gust of wind that swirled around his fingertips.

"Psionic energy! It really is psionic energy! And you even completed the elemental conversion! Genius, an absolute genius!" Old Bi exclaimed in disbelief.

Mastering psychic powers is commonplace for psychics who have passed the trials, as commonplace as a person breathing or a fish swimming.

but...

Before passing the trials of the spirit world, only a very small number of people can master psychic energy.

This talent is proof of one's abilities and a stepping stone to legendary professions. Only by mastering spiritual energy in advance can one possibly obtain a legendary profession during the Spirit Realm Trials.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Talent is used to exchange for resources!

"How did you do it? Do you have any successful experience to share?" Lao Bi asked.

"Um..."

Bai Shuodong thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "You should know about the Trial Tower over at Yanxiao Mountain, right?"

"know."

Lao Bi nodded.

“I went to participate in the trial, and while I was there, I tried it out and quickly mastered the use of psionic energy.”

"To be honest, I feel it's quite simple."

Bai Shuodong answered honestly.

"..."

Lao Bi's smile froze, then he revealed a "I knew it" expression.

He sighed and said, "You geniuses really can't be explained by common sense. Xia Yanxin told me the same thing before, that you can master it when the feeling comes... Now you're saying the same thing, it's like you're just fooling me."

“But I know that what you told me is true, that this is really how you control psychic powers.”

Old Bi looked at Bai Shuodong and asked again, "How long did it take you from trying it to mastering it the first time? You don't have to answer if it's inconvenient."

Bai Shuodong smiled and held up one finger.

Lao Bi thought for a moment.

This guy said he mastered psionic powers very quickly, so it probably wasn't a year.

He chuckled and said, "A month? That's quite a fast pace..."

"No."

Bai Shuodong smiled.

"Then... it should be about a week."

Old Bi's voice trembled slightly. If it was a week, then this speed was a bit too fast.

It should be noted that Bai Shuodong's mental attribute is only 4 points, which is too low. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for him to master psychic energy before becoming a psychic.

"Not at all."

Bai Shuodong's smile grew even wider.

"...?"

Old Bi's expression became increasingly interesting, and he said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you only used... one day to succeed?"

"Your guess is far too conservative."

"?"

Old Bi's heart skipped a beat. After repeatedly confirming with his abilities that Bai Shuodong wasn't lying to him, he felt a sense of unreality and finally asked, "So... one hour?"

"Forget it, you'd better stop guessing. Actually, I sensed the psionic energy in a second and released it successfully in one go," Bai Shuodong said directly.

"?"

"Although it's a bit surprising, that's really how it was back then. Maybe I was just lucky." Bai Shuodong recalled the situation at the time, a look of emotion appearing on his face.

Putting aside his 19 points in mental attributes, he did indeed sense it in a second and succeed on his first try.

What does 19 points of spirit attribute mean?

Before officially becoming a psionicist, the total of the four attributes can only reach a maximum of 20 points. Even the mage with the highest mental attribute cannot have such a high mental attribute; at most, it would only be 13-14 points.

"Holy shit... Holy shit!"

Old Bi covered his head with his hands, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets in fright. He confirmed with his ability that everything Bai Shuodong said was true.

However, being the dean of students, he quickly calmed down and asked, "You must have found a place of opportunity, right? The environment there is excellent, allowing you to accelerate your perception of spiritual energy, right?"

"No, I just tried it in the beginner village and succeeded on my first try," Bai Shuodong said with a smile.

"?"

"Look at how talented I am, shouldn't the academy do something for me? In terms of resources... could you give me some preferential treatment?" Bai Shuodong asked with a grin.

"Whoo~"

Old Bi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then replied, "Sure, of course no problem. As long as you have talent, the academy will do its best to cultivate you. After all, cultivating top geniuses is our highest honor."

"What about it?"

Bai Shuodong asked expectantly.

He proactively showcased his abilities in order to access the school's educational and informational resources.

Previously, when chatting with Qin Hanwu, he could clearly feel the information asymmetry. Bai Shuodong knew nothing about the knowledge that Qin Hanwu considered commonplace.

no way

Before officially becoming a psionicist, normal people will not come into contact with the Tower of Trials, so school textbooks will not cover these things, and they will not be mentioned in casual conversations or when teachers expand on the topic.

Because we can't access it.

Therefore, Bai Shuodong had no idea about those details, and this information asymmetry put him under immense pressure. Although his greed for time this time didn't cause any major negative consequences, if he encountered a similar situation again in the future, he would still be completely unaware and mistakenly believe it was an opportunity to rush in.

What should I do if something goes wrong in the future?

The most terrifying thing is that he can't see the trap right in front of him, so it's essential to have more unconventional knowledge.

He needs educational resources, and they must go beyond the normal range.

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Old Bi pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "The school's facilities will be open to you for free from now on. As for the training equipment you applied for before, it can also be supplied in unlimited quantities."

"What if I want to learn more? For example, during training, I'd like to find a teacher, is that possible?" Bai Shuodong asked tentatively.

Training in a studio with a projector and receiving one-on-one instruction from a teacher are two completely different concepts. Outside, hiring a private tutor can cost an exorbitant amount per hour.

Even if you hire a psionicist, hiring an ordinary person as a private tutor would cost a considerable amount per hour. If you have high requirements for the tutor's skill level, it could cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per hour.

so...
