Chapter 272 - 151: Unleashing Potential, Spiritual Factors
A quick comparison to Dongfang Zhen’s stats was all it took to understand just how absurd these numbers were.
Lin Ye himself was a little dumbfounded.
At the same time, he understood that this was the result of activating [Frenzy], which had boosted all of his attributes by eighty percent.
Without it, his Qi and Blood index would probably hover around six hundred points.
His Spiritual Power would likely be just over four hundred points.
But over time, his two talents, [Thick Skin] and [Soul Furnace], had given him terrifyingly high endurance growth and a massive bonus to his maximum Life Value.
This had turned his Life Value into a monstrously high figure, an absurd number that allowed him to tower over the competition!
Even Dongfang Zhen, who had initially been ranked first, had barely scraped past the five-hundred-point threshold for this stat.
And now, Lin Ye’s was more than three times higher than his!
Nie Cang’s eyes were filled with utter shock as he looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye...
’Where in the world did this monster come from?!’
"I’ve seen those two geniuses from the Yanjing and Imperial Capital training camps this year."
Yin Liulan’s voice slowly rang out, shattering the tense atmosphere.
"But even their Life Values aren’t as high as yours."
After a moment of thought, she gave her final assessment.
"Dongfang Zhen, plus sixty points."
"Lin Ye, plus seventy points."
As she spoke, the styluses of Zhou Yan and the other instructors flew across their terminals, instantly recording the scores.
With this, although Lin Ye’s total points hadn’t yet surpassed Dongfang Zhen’s, he had firmly secured his position in second place.
"Let’s continue."
"Nerve Response Test and Durability Test."
Yin Liulan crossed her arms. All traces of the impatience she’d shown when facing the fifty students earlier were gone, replaced by pure focus and curiosity.
These two tests had their own unique challenges compared to the mental fortitude and combat tests Lin Ye had undergone during the mock exam in Dongjiang City.
These two metrics were also core stats directly applicable to real combat.
For this test, there was no need to enter a large testing pod or wait in line.
There were plenty of virtual reality devices in the room, enough for all six of them to start simultaneously.
Lin Ye put on a special CR wristband designed for the test. The next moment, he found himself inside a pitch-black Virtual Space.
[The Nerve Response Test will now begin.]
[After the countdown, 50 attacks will be launched randomly from six directions: front, back, left, right, above, and below. The speed and frequency of the attacks will gradually increase over time.]
[Prepare yourself!]
A bright red countdown began to tick down before his eyes.
Lin Ye understood immediately.
This was a pure test of his evasion ability. It would calculate his nerve response speed by measuring the time between his awareness of an incoming attack and his body’s physical reaction to dodge it.
Naturally, the shorter the time, the better.
The ten-second countdown flew by. Lin Ye was on high alert.
But the anticipated attack never came.
It was a psychological game between the tester and the test subject.
By explicitly telling you an attack was coming, but not *when*, it made the eventual surprise attack that much harder to defend against.
But Lin Ye wasn’t the least bit anxious.
Just a short while ago, he had gone through countless similar evasion drills in the rift valley of the fallen lands.
He had faced the Shadow Scale Race, a type of Celestial Abyss Race exceptionally skilled in camouflage and ambushes. They had launched relentless, unpredictable, and fatal sneak attacks against him amidst swirling sandstorms.
WHOOSH!
Lin Ye’s senses twitched. The next moment, he shifted his body just slightly to the side.
A vicious attack shot out from the darkness to his front-right, grazing the edge of his clothes.
Lin Ye had successfully dodged it.
But he knew this was only the beginning.
These attacks would only become faster, more frequent, and more relentless.
「Over ten minutes later.」
All fifty attack tests were complete.
Lin Ye saw his final results.
[Successful Evasions: 48/50]
[Effective Evasion Rate: 96.76%]
[Fastest Evasion Time: 167 microseconds]
[Slowest Evasion Time: 3.63 milliseconds]
[Average Evasion Time: 566 microseconds]
[Rating: 93.66]
Lin Ye wasn’t particularly satisfied with this result.
He had definitely felt immense pressure during the evasion test.
His slowest evasion times had almost all occurred after the fortieth attack, when the strikes became increasingly crafty and ferocious.
The next blow would arrive before he had even fully completed the evasive maneuver for the previous one.
The recovery lag from the previous dodge became a huge hindrance, ultimately causing him to fail to completely evade the last two attacks.
Lin Ye didn’t know how the others had scored, but he understood that nerve response speed was, to some extent, positively correlated with both the Spirit and Agility attributes.
Beyond that, there were also individual differences that were difficult to quantify with any single stat.
Before Lin Ye could dwell on it, the second test began.
[The Durability Test will now begin.]
[You will be immobilized for an extended period and will be unable to block or evade attacks.]
[This test is designed to assess your ability to withstand various attacks in a combat scenario where, due to an error, you are unable to block or evade.]
[The attacks will grow stronger and more frequent over time, and will eventually begin targeting vital points.]
[All pain sensations and impact feedback have been disabled.]
[Aside from being unable to move or block, you may use any other means at your disposal to minimize the damage taken from each hit.]
