Chapter 270 - 150: Unprecedented Life Index
This was a system that used credits to create a class hierarchy, forcing everyone into a frenzied rat race.
The strong possess everything and grow ever stronger.
The weak could only struggle in inferior environments, eventually being left completely in the dust.
While everyone was still digesting this information, Yin Liulan suddenly took a thick stack of files from Nie Cang’s hands.
It contained the names and initial rankings of all the camp’s new trainees.
Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, she tore the stack of files to shreds right in front of them.
Scraps of paper fluttered through the air.
"After observing you all today, I’ve concluded that the rankings on the list I was given are full of discrepancies."
Her gaze swept over Lu Jiuxiao.
"For example, the person ranked third on this list... well, from what I’ve seen, he’s nothing special."
Lu Jiuxiao’s face instantly flushed a dark, furious red. He stared at Yin Liulan, his chest heaving, the rage in his eyes about to erupt.
But ultimately, he managed to restrain himself.
Yin Liulan tossed the paper scraps aside and dusted off her hands.
"So, this list is now worthless. I will conduct a new, proper baseline assessment for your entrance into the camp."
"Then, based on the actual data from that assessment, I will reallocate your credits."
...
A short while later, the six people who had been the last to finish the visualization lesson, Lin Ye among them, were led into a testing room.
The room was filled with all sorts of precision instruments, some of which Lin Ye recognized, while others were completely new to him.
They were familiar because Lin Ye knew they were likely used for testing metrics like the Qi and Blood Index and Life Index.
They were unfamiliar because he had never seen such advanced models back in Dongjiang.
The trainees who had finished the visualization lesson early had already completed their tests.
Now, with only the six of them left, the process would be quick.
Perhaps tired from her earlier speech, Yin Liulan didn’t speak this time.
The one responsible for the explanation was Zhou Yan instead.
"This baseline assessment consists of five tests: Qi and Blood Index, Life Index, Spiritual Power intensity, as well as tests for neural response and damage resistance conducted in a virtual environment."
Without any further ado, Zhou Yan began calling out names.
"Lu Jiuxiao, Wei Shuying, you two are up first."
As instructed, the two stepped forward, each lying down in a testing apparatus.
The pod doors of the instruments sealed shut with a low hum.
Soon, their data appeared on a giant light screen to the side.
Wei Shuying:
Qi and Blood Index: 397.63
Life Index: 188.35
Spiritual Power Intensity: 1247.21!
The moment these three basic stats appeared, Nie Cang and Yin Liulan exchanged a glance, both seeing a flicker of surprise in the other’s eyes.
At last, Yin Liulan spoke, her voice calm.
"Forty points."
This result was somewhat surprising to the others present.
Among geniuses of their caliber, Wei Shuying’s Qi and Blood Index and Life Index were only average.
But her Spiritual Power intensity, which broke one thousand, was simply terrifying.
This went beyond mere extraordinary talent; she was a monster born specifically for this path.
Next, Lu Jiuxiao’s stats were displayed.
Qi and Blood Index: 653.54
Life Index: 298.61
Spiritual Power Intensity: 342.37
When Lu Jiuxiao stepped out of the testing pod, the crimson Qilin Scale Armor on his body had yet to fully recede, the signs of his Ancestral Beast Transformation still clearly visible.
It was clear that he had directly activated his Martial Arts Spirituality for this test.
This had clearly been tacitly approved by Yin Liulan.
What she wanted to see was the absolute limit of each person’s true stats.
"Thirty-five points."
Yin Liulan’s voice rang out again.
Lu Jiuxiao and Wei Shuying were practically polar opposites.
One possessed ridiculously high Spiritual Power, while the other had stacked their physical attributes to a terrifying level.
To put it in perspective, many Martial Artists who had just entered the Gang Condensation Realm had a base Qi and Blood Index of only around 600, and their Life Index was even lower, at about 200.
Lu Jiuxiao’s stats had completely surpassed the limits of the Vein Opening Realm.
"Next group. Ye Qi, Zhang Daoxuan."
The two calmly lay down in the testing pods.
A moment later, new data materialized on the light screen.
Ye Qi:
Qi and Blood Index: 514.33
Life Index: 332.88
Spiritual Power Intensity: 569.21!
The moment these numbers appeared, Yin Liulan and Nie Cang exchanged another glance.
In the original list that Yin Liulan had torn up, the name Ye Qi was ranked twenty-fourth.
It was a very unremarkable, middle-of-the-pack rank.
’Lin Ye couldn’t even recall how this Ye Qi had passed the entrance assessment.’
Yin Liulan and the others also didn’t notice him at first.
It wasn’t until they reviewed the surveillance footage later that they discovered he had simply strolled right through a corridor guarded by one of the instructors.
And the instructor, who was at the peak of the Gang Condensation Realm, had shown no reaction whatsoever from start to finish.
Upon questioning, the instructor claimed to have no memory of the event at all.
It wasn’t until he saw the surveillance footage with his own eyes that he was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor. He couldn’t be sure if he’d been bewitched, or if Ye Qi possessed a Martial Arts Spirituality that allowed him to vanish completely without a sound or trace.
He was a completely unexpected and incredibly low-key dark horse.
The stats he now displayed were exceptionally balanced, with no apparent weaknesses.
"Thirty-five points."
Yin Liulan gave him the same score as Lu Jiuxiao.
Then, Zhang Daoxuan’s data appeared on the screen.
Qi and Blood Index: 709.82
Life Index: 366.52
Spiritual Power Intensity: 661.59
"Forty-five points."
Another terrifyingly balanced monster, and every single one of his stats was a cut above the rest.
Such fundamental stats, even among Martial Artists in the early stage of the Gang Condensation Realm, were an absolute rarity.
