#42 - Trial Space

The next day, at eleven o'clock in the morning.

Yang Wu and Yang Hui arrived together at the ninth floor of the Ninefold Tower and entered a somewhat dimly lit small room.

The Trial Chamber!

From the 1st to the 30th of each month, people enter the trial chamber for training. During these 30 days, there is only a break period from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM each day.

And on the 31st, it is either shut down for repairs or for a full day of rest.

Therefore, if there are outsiders visiting or new prospective students being assessed, they will choose the time slot from twelve to one o'clock, conducting the assessment within this one hour.

Inside the room, there were only two sofas, each with a deep blue helmet placed on it. Under the light, they reflected a dazzling deep blue glow.

“These two helmets…”

Yang Hui began to introduce them to Yang Wu. Actually, even without him saying so, Yang Wu knew that these were consciousness sensors created by human scientists, imitating virtual reality equipment.

Wearing this consciousness sensor would allow one's consciousness to enter a 100% realistic virtual space, where one could essentially do anything that could be done in reality.

Of course, although it is said to be 100% realistic, mental power cannot be brought in.

Yang Wu lay down on the comfortable sofa, took the deep blue helmet handed over by Yang Hui, and put it on.

In the next moment, he appeared on an endless silver-white plain.

Above him was a vast and boundless starry sky, with thousands of stars in the boundless night sky, causing the entire silver plain to reflect a dreamlike light.

And not far away, there was a towering, cloud-piercing tower. The naked eye could vaguely discern that this tower had seven floors.

“That is the Trial Tower.”

Yang Wu understood in his heart, then simply moved his limbs and quickly made a rough judgment on the combat power of his current body.

Everyone whose consciousness enters the virtual space will possess a physical body with the same physical attributes, the standard of a beginner-level warrior.

Only when the physical attributes are the same can one better detect a person's true level in combat.

Except for spiritualists!

After all, mental power is the most important means of fighting for spiritualists, but mental power cannot be brought into the trial space. This undoubtedly has a huge impact on the combat power of spiritualists.

It's like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, a machine gun with its bullets exhausted. The strength comparison is too obvious. Without mental power, is a spiritualist still a spiritualist?

Arriving at the entrance at the bottom of the tower, Yang Wu saw his identity information and Trial Tower level immediately appear on a black stone pillar on the left.

The so-called Trial Tower level is actually the number of floors cleared in this majestic tower. Yang Wu's Trial Tower level is 1.0, which means he has no clearance record.

The entire Trial Tower has seven floors, each divided into three stages of different difficulty: A, B, and C.

Those who enter the Trial Tower, using the same physical attributes, climb upwards step by step. After passing the first floor, they can directly enter the second floor.

Passing the A stage of the first floor trial results in a Trial Tower level of 1.3. Passing the B stage of the first floor trial results in a Trial Tower level of 1.6.

Passing the C stage of the first floor trial, completing all the trials of the first floor, and entering the second floor trial directly changes the Trial Tower level to 2.0.

And so on.

However, even within the same stage of the same floor, there are different degrees of completion. Some people can complete 90%, while others can only complete 70%, or even 50%.

Therefore, the Trial Tower level will also be different. For example, the A stage trial on the first floor may have Trial Tower levels of 1.1 or 1.2, and only a complete pass is 1.3.

The higher you go, the greater the difficulty of the trial.

The Trial Tower has a total of seven floors, but no one has yet been able to reach the seventh floor, including Hong, the world's number one expert, who also stopped at the sixth floor.

Moreover, Yang Wu guessed that the first three floors of the Trial Tower only test the warrior's comprehensive qualities: body techniques, spear techniques, the level of physical exertion, combat experience, on-the-spot performance, and other aspects.

From the fourth floor onwards, one must also consider the issue of breaking through defenses.

In the virtual space, the Trial Tower can only allow one person to enter at a time. Therefore, each student, including members of the God of War Palace, enters and exits one at a time.

Yang Wu summoned the weapon and equipment selection panel, casually selected a set of combat suits, and then selected a Halberd.

After clicking confirm, the combat suit and Halberd directly fell in front of Yang Wu.

“It’s not directly synchronized to the body?”

“Bad review!”

Yang Wu secretly complained, but quickly put on the combat suit, picked up the Halberd, and then pushed open the door of the Trial Tower, walking into the dark entrance ahead.

The trial has begun!

...

Outside the Trial Tower, after Yang Wu went in, Yang Hui waited at the bottom of the entrance. He was very much looking forward to Yang Wu's final score in the Trial Tower.

Two minutes later, the number on the engraving of Yang Wu's black stone pillar at the entrance changed instantly.

Trial Tower level, changed from 1 to 1.3.

Yang Hui didn't find this strange. After all, Yang Wu had successfully cultivated the third level of the Annihilation Spear Technique, and four times the physical exertion was not just for show.

With the burst of four times the exertion, even a beginner-level Beast General Wild Bull might not even be able to touch Yang Wu's hair.

Two minutes and thirty seconds later, Yang Wu's Trial Tower level changed from 1.3 to 1.6.

“So fast!”

“Excluding the 1-minute preparation countdown, that means he only used 1 minute and 30 seconds to pass the B-stage trial on the first floor.”

Seeing this, Yang Hui was a little surprised. It wasn't that he was surprised that Yang Wu could pass the B-stage trial.

But he was surprised that the number of Wild Bulls in the B-stage trial on the first floor was twice that of the A stage. After the number of Wild Bulls doubled, Yang Wu only used 30 seconds more to pass.

The number of Wild Bulls increased, so why did the passing time decrease?

Powerful body movement speed does not mean powerful nerve reaction speed. According to the information he knew, Yang Wu's strongest point was four times the physical exertion.

Secondly, it was his physical fitness, and as for his body technique, it seemed to be only at the entry level.

If you want to kill a sufficient number of monsters in the shortest amount of time, relying solely on body movement speed is useless.

Especially in the Trial Tower, with the same physical attributes, monsters can make countless mistakes.

But as long as you make one mistake, or your attack rhythm is disrupted, you will be swarmed by monsters and beaten to death.

“It seems that there should also be some improvement in body technique, otherwise it would be difficult to pass the B-stage trial on the first floor so quickly.”

Although Yang Hui was surprised by Yang Wu's speed of clearing the level, when he thought that the other party had comprehended the four-times exertion technique of the third level of the Annihilation Spear Technique in just one month.

With this terrifying comprehension ability, it is not surprising that there has been some improvement in body technique.

“I just don’t know how many floors you can ultimately reach.”

Yang Hui raised his head, looked at the giant tower standing on the boundless silver plain, and muttered to himself.
