Chapter 56: Spiritual Intuition
Iray's words shook everyone's minds; they had never paid attention to this point before, always immersed in the glow of being 'geniuses.'
However, their qualifications were only average nationwide, let alone in the vast federation.
As Chen Chu walked on the way to the logistics department, he was also pondering this question.
To go? Or not to go?
Under normal circumstances, with the synchronized enhancement of the heavy armored beast clone, as long as he could hide and develop for another year or two, his strength would naturally surpass that of his peers.
Indeed, it was expected that he would need to hide for more than a year to surpass a genius like An Fuqing.
After the second evolution, the heavy armored beast had increased its evolution points rapidly due to the abundance of food, but at the same time, the energy required for physical growth had also increased significantly.
Thus, enhancing 5 points a day meant reaching the requirements for the third evolution would take about two months.
What about the fourth evolution? Six months?
And while his physique was strengthening, those geniuses were also making rapid progress. By the time he reached the fourth or fifth level of heaven, sheer strength and speed might not necessarily make him a match for true martial experts.
After all, that was the kind of presence that could withstand light and heavy artillery after reaching the fifth or sixth level of heaven, and the power of true power would be even more terrifying after the seventh level.
In this case, unless his physical body became strong enough to withstand missiles, he would not be comparable to high-level experts.
But if he chose to take the trial, he would have to face certain dangers, while also gaining significant rewards.
Killing those cultists could yield a large number of contribution points, which he could then exchange for Life Crystals. By then, his strength would soar at rocket speed.
Moreover, his current true combat power had already reached the third level of heaven, with a survival rate surpassing that of all his classmates. If he was a bit cautious, it should be fine.
After all, this was a newcomer trial; it wasn't meant to kill them, and the school and the authorities would do their best to keep the risks within their tolerance.
After analyzing the pros and cons of going or not going, Chen Chu decided to hold off on making a decision for now and wait a few days to see how the situation developed.
"Teacher, I want to exchange for two First-Grade Life Crystals."
"Please input your student ID."
"Verification passed. You have 8 contribution points this month, with an 80% exchange privilege. Confirm to exchange all for Life Crystals?"
"Confirm."
After a brief wait, Chen Chu walked out of the logistics department holding two Life Crystals. On his way, he converted them into attribute points, and fortunately, he converted 9 points.
"Dragon Elephant Skill upgraded to the third layer requires 20 attribute points. Current attribute points insufficient, unable to upgrade."
In the personal training room, Chen Chu paused as he saw the text displayed before him: "As expected, breaking through the third layer of Dragon Elephant Skill requires more attribute points."
He wasn't surprised by this result.
After a moment's contemplation, Chen Chu chose to enhance his knife technique.
"Consume attribute points to enhance Mind's Eye Bright Blade."
As soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, 10 attribute points disappeared instantly from the page, and at the same time, a special energy surged in his mind.
Boom!
Chen Chu's consciousness roared, and his entire perception exploded, covering the entire training room, as if his soul had exited his body, allowing him to perceive the outside world from another perspective.
At the same time, a flood of information about knife techniques rushed into his mind, and his body underwent subtle changes.
His arms became stronger, his palms roughened, like an old hand who had trained with a knife for years, and a sharp aura gradually began to emanate from him.
