Chapter 12666

The first batch of demons spawned.

Ten heads.

Its strength is comparable to that of a hundred-zhang Dharma Aspect master, making it a rather troublesome existence for ordinary cultivators.

But for Yuan Chu, getting rid of them was a simple matter of one move.

However, Yuan Chu did not make a move, but stood still and let them attack him.

As expected, as soon as Yuan Chu's Dharma Image was damaged, his aura began to increase rapidly, and the strength of the entire Dharma Image soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it has more than doubled.

However, it quickly reached its limit.

No matter how these ten demons attacked, they could hardly cause any real damage.

Yuan Chu immediately killed them with his bare hands.

Immediately afterwards, ten more demons appeared, their strength significantly greater than before, comparable to a ninety-foot-tall Dharma Avatar master.

Yuan Chu did not stop, and immediately killed them all.

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

This choice is actually reasonable.

Although these demons have already managed to break through the defenses, their killing efficiency is limited, which means their upgrade efficiency is extremely low. Given the current rules that require every second to count, keeping them around is clearly not the best option.

Although Yuan Chu was in the middle of the game, he had clearly realized that to achieve the maximum kill efficiency, he had to find a balance between leveling up and killing.

The closer a player is to the optimal balance point, the higher their overall kill efficiency will be in theory.

From one perspective, this is a math problem.

As the head of the second generation of the Tianjun family, Yuan Chu was a natural-born top-notch test-taker, and his ability in this area was naturally at its peak.

Even though he was the first to take the stage, and even though there was no substantial reference data, he still managed to calculate the optimal balance point after limited exploration.

Finally, after the incense stick's time limit expired, Yuan Chu's kill count was fixed at 307.

The three judges exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

As professional and experienced judges, they have seen all kinds of geniuses. In fact, anyone who has the opportunity to compete for an upgrade spot is a person of extraordinary talent.
In their respective worlds, each of them is an unparalleled protagonist of destiny.

However, Yuan Chu's overall demeanor was such that even among the main characters of this destiny, he was among the elite.

"Unfortunately, the timing was wrong."

All three judges expressed their regret.

If it weren't for Huan Yin, a powerful figure with connections, the position of the three-zhang-high Dharma Minister would most likely have gone to Yuan Chu.

It can only be said that they were born at the wrong time.

However, Yuan Chu himself clearly did not think so.

"Even if someone has connections, it doesn't guarantee they'll win."

Yuan Chu deliberately walked past Huan Yin.

He was quite confident in the algorithm he had developed on the spot.

Huan Yin scoffed: "Do you even know what you're saying, you mutt? You finally got a taste of shit, and you actually think you've struck gold?"

Yuan Chu responded with a sneer: "You should worry about yourself first. If you, as someone with connections, still lose to me like this, you'll have no face to live."

"He talks a lot of nonsense."

Huan Yin clapped his hands and immediately left the stage.

What happened next thoroughly proved one point.

Faced with a tailor-made mechanism, even the most ingenious and perfect algorithm is insignificant.

Huan Yin didn't need to calculate any so-called balance point. He entered the arena, immediately reduced his Dharma Aspect Defense to zero, and the only thing he needed to do next was to kill all the demons that appeared in front of him.

Yuan Chu's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

His meticulously calculated upgrade speed was now a complete joke in front of Huan Yin.

Eight hundred and ninety heads!
The final kill count was almost three times that of Yuan Chu!
"Keep talking! Why are you silent?"

Huan Yin walked up to Yuan Chu with a smug look on his face: "Didn't you think you were pretty smart, racking your brains to come up with a perfect record? In the end, you're not even good enough to be my insole. Tell me, how do you feel now?"

Yuan Chu: "..."

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Everything you've poured your heart and soul into and are proud of is utterly insignificant in the face of others.

The key is that this kind of thing cannot be solved by his own efforts at all. Even a single spot for a three-zhang Dharma form is something he cannot reach, no matter how much he tries.

But for them, all they need is a go-through of playing house.

This feeling of despair and helplessness was something Yuan Chu had never experienced so profoundly in his life.

Little did they know that many people in Tianjun, including many second-generation members of prominent families, had felt the same way when facing him in the past.

What goes around comes around, and now it's his turn.

Huan Yin glanced at Lin Yi beside him: "Kid, you should just give up now, so you don't waste my time. My time is very precious."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Lin Yi blinked: "My time is also very precious."

He left the stage immediately after speaking.

Huan Yin laughed in exasperation upon seeing this: "You're making such a fuss over a mere stepping stone. Anyone who doesn't know better would really think you have a chance."

"What a mongrel, pretending to be something it's not!"

Even so, he couldn't stop it.

No matter how deep his background is in the Xuanwu Divine Society, at least the most basic procedures on the surface are absolutely not to be interfered with.

Setting up a "carrot hole" is one thing, but blatantly breaking the rules is another.

Once the incident comes to light, even his powerful grandfather won't be able to suppress it.

However, Huan Yin didn't care.

In his eyes, Lin Yi was not even as good as Yuan Chu. If Yuan Chu could barely be his insole, then Lin Yi didn't even have the qualifications to be the bottom of the insole.

"Since we're bored anyway, how about we make a bet?"

Huan Yin gestured towards Yuan Chu with his lip: "I bet he won't get more than a hundred kills."

Yuan Chu gritted his teeth and retorted, "Then you're doomed to lose!"

"Oh? You have that much confidence in him?"

Huan Yin scratched his head: "What is this, some kind of mutual appreciation between two mutts?"

After a pause, Huan Yin grinned and said with a playful smile, "You have a relationship with him, but if his kill count surpasses yours, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"

Yuan Chu: "..."

This is indeed his true thought.

Based on his trust in Lin Yi, he firmly believed that Lin Yi would not be a helpless cannon fodder, but he would never admit that Lin Yi's strength surpassed his own.

Again.

I'm not only afraid that my brother will have a hard time, but I'm also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

As for whether he truly considered Lin Yi a brother at heart, only he himself knows.

Huan Yin laughed heartily: "You bunch of country bumpkins are really something else. You're obviously incredibly hypocritical, but you still put on this stupid act of mutual respect. Who are you trying to fool?" (End of Chapter)
