“Me, wear it?” Luo Feng, slightly nervous, picked up one of the deep blue helmets and looked questioningly at Yang Hui. “Mr. Yang, I just wear it directly?”
“Follow my lead!”
Yang Hui smiled, then sat down and lay on the sofa. “You lie on the sofa too.”
Luo Feng obediently lay down. The sofa was very comfortable, perfectly suited for one person to lie on. Yang Hui said solemnly, “Once you put on the helmet, your consciousness will directly enter the virtual space, so don’t panic. Come on, put on the helmet!” Under Yang Hui’s gaze, Luo Feng took a deep breath and put on the helmet.
Virtual space?
Described in science fiction novels, but this was his first real experience.
“Hmm?” The moment he put on the helmet, Luo Feng felt a buzzing in his head.
Seeing Luo Feng wearing the helmet, Yang Hui smiled and put on his helmet as well.
…
This was an endless silver-colored land.
Two figures appeared one after another on the ground—Luo Feng and Yang Hui.
“Amazing! This is the virtual space?” Luo Feng looked around. The sky of this virtual space was actually a cosmic starry sky, with thousands of stars shining in the boundless night, reflecting a dreamlike glow across the silver land.
“This silver land? It’s as smooth as a mirror.”
Luo Feng was astonished as he squatted down, tapping the ground with his fingers, producing a metallic clang.
“Luo Feng, this Trial Tower’s virtual space, the sky is a starry sky, and the ground is the silver land. The material of this silver land is similar to an alloy!” Yang Hui smiled and pointed into the distance. “And in this entire virtual space, the only building you can see is the seven-story Trial Tower in the distance! That is where you will face your trial.”
Indeed, looking in all directions,
There was only one building!
It was about three or four hundred meters away, a towering tower reaching into the clouds. The entire tower was engraved with various images and all kinds of beast carvings circling around it. The naked eye could vaguely discern that the tower had seven levels.
“Am I going to face the B-level trial there?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred as he tried to summon his mental power.
Hmm?
Why can’t I feel my mental power?
He couldn’t sense even a trace of his mental power.
“Not good.” Luo Feng slightly jumped a couple of times, throwing punches and kicks. “My body feels off somehow.”
“Mr. Yang, why does my body feel so different now?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Hui laughed heartily, pointing to the sky and the ground. “Where are we? We are in the virtual space! Only our consciousness entered, while our physical bodies, weapons, and everything else cannot come in.”
“Only our consciousness entered?” Luo Feng was startled inwardly. “That means everything outside of consciousness cannot come in. My mental power also didn’t come in… This is a problem. Without mental power, my strength is probably only a fraction of what it was before. Can I even pass this B-level trial?”
Yang Hui continued, “Luo Feng, no matter who you are, only your consciousness can enter the virtual space! And the virtual space will provide you with a virtual physical body.”
“The physical condition of our current bodies… is exactly the same,” Yang Hui explained.
“The same?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“Yes, whether you’re a War God, a being beyond War God, or just an ordinary martial artist, or even a regular person. Once your consciousness enters, you will all have the same physical condition—a normal punch force of 10,000 kilograms, a speed of 150 meters per second, and a nervous reaction speed equivalent to the upper level of a junior warrior.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Everyone who enters the virtual space has the exact same physical condition?
“That’s why, in the virtual space, everyone is equal. No matter how powerful your physical body is in the real world, in the virtual space, it’s all the same. This makes it easy to test a person’s true combat ability,” Yang Hui looked at Luo Feng. “Now follow me to the Trial Tower!”
What else could he do now?
In the virtual space, everyone is equal, no matter how strong you are in the real world.
…
The Trial Tower towered into the sky, immense and colossal.
Luo Feng and Yang Hui stood at the entrance, like two tiny ants.
“Look at that pillar,” Yang Hui pointed to a black stone pillar on the left side of the Trial Tower’s entrance. On this black stone pillar, carvings floated into view—
“Name: Luo Feng
Gender: Male
Identity: Elite Training Camp Preparatory Student
Trial Tower Level: 1″
Luo Feng turned his head and looked at the black stone pillar on the right side of the Trial Tower’s entrance. On this black stone pillar, carvings also floated—
“Name: Yang Hui
Gender: Male
Identity: War God
Trial Tower Level: 3.2″
Luo Feng was astonished inwardly. His Trial Tower level was 1, while War God Yang Hui’s was 3.2. What exactly was the Trial Tower level?
“Luo Feng, are you curious about the Trial Tower level?” Yang Hui smiled. “For example, me, or you, using the same body, enter the Trial Tower and progress step by step. After passing the first floor, you directly enter the second floor. At that point, your Trial Tower level becomes 2.0. When you enter the third floor, your Trial Tower level becomes 3.0. While exploring the third floor, you might become 3.1, 3.2, 3.3… anything is possible. But right now, you haven’t explored anything yet, so you’re only at the original level 1, meaning you haven’t achieved anything on the first floor of the Trial Tower.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood.
Then he was secretly shocked. Yang Hui, the War God, was already so old and with rich combat experience, yet he had only reached the third floor!
“The Trial Tower has seven floors in total! To date, no one has reached the seventh floor!” Yang Hui smiled and looked at Luo Feng.
“Not a single person?” Luo Feng was stunned.
What about the strongest man on Earth, Hong? And the second strongest, Thunder God?
“That’s right, not a single person. The world’s strongest, ‘Hong,’ can already reach the sixth floor, making him the strongest in the world,” Yang Hui shook his head with a sigh. “That’s the gap. Even with the same body, I can only reach the third floor, while the Master can reach the sixth!”
Luo Feng looked up at the seven-story Trial Tower.
He never thought that none of Earth’s strongest warriors had reached the seventh floor.
Suddenly—
“Luofeng, please select your combat suit and weapons. After selection, enter the Trial Tower to accept the B-level test within one minute!” Suddenly, an electronic voice echoed throughout the virtual space.
Immediately, a series of combat suit styles and weapon styles appeared before Luo Feng. Without hesitation, he quickly selected a combat suit and the Blood Shadow Blade and Hexagonal Shield that fit his body size. Then, the combat suit, Blood Shadow Blade, and shield immediately appeared on the ground, and Luo Feng quickly put them on.
He could run at a speed of 150 meters per second, so putting on the combat suit was also incredibly fast.
In a flash of illusions, he was dressed in less than ten seconds.
“Luofeng, I wish you success,” Yang Hui smiled. “This B-level test is a medium-difficulty challenge in the first level of the Trial Tower. Although it’s only the first level, even current official members of the Elite Training Camp, dozens of them, are still struggling in the first level!”
“Okay,” Luo Feng took a deep breath and walked directly into the pitch-black entrance ahead.
…
Whoosh!
It felt like a spatial shift, and Luo Feng suddenly found himself in a vast grassland.
“Luofeng,” the electronic voice echoed across the grassland, “the B-level test is to kill 100 low-level beast warrior-class bulls attacking you within 30 minutes! If you die during the test, you fail! If after 30 minutes you haven’t killed 100 bulls, you also fail! This is your first time entering the Trial Tower; you have five minutes to prepare.”
Luo Feng’s face changed dramatically.
“100 bulls, all low-level beast warrior-class?” Luo Feng was completely shocked.
Normally, encountering a herd of beasts was terrifying, but most beasts in a herd were beast soldier-class, with only a few being beast warrior-class.
But he never expected that this B-level test would involve 100 bulls attacking him, all of them low-level beast warrior-class! If they were low-level beast warrior-class, that meant… each bull would be almost equal to him in terms of strength and speed. 100 bulls equal to Luo Feng, ganging up on just one of him!
And he had to kill all 100 bulls within 30 minutes by himself?
“Insane!”
“The first level is already this insane. No wonder dozens of the 182 official members of the Elite Training Camp are still stuck on the first level!” Luo Feng could easily imagine how insane the second, third, and fourth levels must be. And ‘Hong,’ using the exact same body as him, could reach the sixth level!
That was already unbelievable.
“Well, my real-world body is close to this virtual body’s physical condition. I’m also quite used to it,” Luo Feng moved around a bit, quickly dodging, sidestepping, and swinging the Blood Shadow Blade to get used to this body.
Five minutes passed quickly!
“The B-level test begins!” The electronic voice thundered across the grassland like a clap of thunder. At the same time, ahead on the grassland a hundred meters away, one by one, bulls, each nearly three meters tall, appeared. These were the famous herd beasts known for their unity—the bulls! Their long fur, curved and sharp horns, and red eyes.
“Bu~~~”
Exactly one hundred bulls. Each bull’s horns had a faint red hue, as if stained with blood. The sharp horn tips pierced Luo Feng’s body. Even if they couldn’t pierce his combat suit, they would probably break his bones and cause internal bleeding. Each one was a serious threat!
Bu~~~ Bu~~~
With the bull roars echoing across the grassland, the thunderous sound of hooves pounding the ground grew louder as the entire herd of one hundred low-level beast warrior-class bulls charged toward Luo Feng with red eyes, snorting white steam from their nostrils, their hooves trampling the grass.
The ground of the grassland trembled faintly.
“Except for that time at the Carrefour supermarket, I’ve never faced so many low-level beast warrior-class beasts at once,” Luo Feng wasn’t confident himself. No wonder this B-level test was used to assess the most elite talents on Earth… the difficulty was indeed terrifying. If he had his mental power, he would have more confidence.
But without mental power?
“I can only give it my all!”
“Several dozen people in the Elite Training Camp are still stuck on the first level, which means probably over a hundred people have passed the first level. I refuse to believe I can’t make it!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. Already in this situation, what else could he do?
Fight!
A hundred bulls, each larger than a tank, charged in a swarm.
Thunderous sounds filled the air as the ground shook.
The hundred-meter distance between them was covered in an instant by the low-level beast warrior-class bulls moving at speeds over a hundred meters per second. It was like a tsunami, an endless wave of bulls instantly engulfing Luo Feng!
