Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 54: One thing inside, another on the surface

[On June 6st, you enter the virtual space and challenge the Trial Tower.]

[However, although you have made great progress during this period, you still stopped at the fourth floor and failed to reach the fifth floor of the Trial Tower.]

[After all, many councilors haven't been able to reach the 5.0 Trial Tower level, so you're still a little short.]

[In August, Luo Feng suddenly became the Supervisor of Jiangnan Base City. He came to the Elite Training Camp to find you and suggested that the two of you spar.]

You agreed...

You've been abused...

[In your sparring match with Luo Feng, you were very confident in your own abilities, but you overlooked his identity as a psychic. The strength he displayed was so overwhelming that you almost doubted your life.]

[Of course, this isn't because you're weak, but rather because the Spiritual Master is incredibly cunning. He flies through the air and launches long-range attacks, leaving you passively vulnerable the entire time.]

【It’s really disgusting! 】

[On September 9st, the contract period ends. According to the contract, you need to enter the Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 1, successfully obtain a set of Black God suits, and sell them to the Extreme Martial Arts School.]

At the end of September, you decided to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins with Luo Feng. Inside the ruins, you entered the elite passage and were assessed within a three-year time limit.

[Three months later, you and Luo Feng still haven't left the ruins. The outside world is in an uproar. They can hardly believe that two of humanity's greatest geniuses died in the ruins.]

[A year later, the Extreme Martial Arts School, which had remained silent throughout, finally announced the deaths of both of you. Three months later, Luo Feng emerged from the ruins, while you were still undergoing assessment.]

Two years later...

[Simulation ends! 】

"This Luo Feng..."

After watching the entire simulation process, Yang Wu couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was just that the other party didn't hold back when he asked for advice before, and was beaten black and blue.

Does this matter?

As soon as he became stronger than me, he came to seek revenge impatiently. It seems I was too lenient!

Luo Feng’s “revenge” was just a small matter. What Yang Wu was most concerned about was the elite passage of the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins.

Although Yunmo Star is a lineage of spiritualists, it is not without genetic warriors. You should know that Huyan Bo’s nine soul slaves are all genetic warriors.

As an immortal force, how could it be possible that it only has spiritualists?

In the screening base, when screening members, there is an elite channel for psychics, and naturally there will also be an elite channel for warriors.

"However, the minimum brain width is 18 to meet the elite channel requirements of Yunmo Star."

"Why didn't I meet the requirements in my previous simulations? Could it be..."

Before reaching the God of War level, he had not entered the elite channel in the simulation. After becoming the God of War, he had only three simulations in total, including this time.

In the previous two simulations, the physical fitness in the simulations reached the high-level war god level, but none of them had entered the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins.

This time, it was his first time entering the ruins of the ancient civilization No. 9 after he broke through the physical fitness level of the high-level god of war.

It seems, then, that the result is obvious.

As Yang Wu's physical fitness becomes stronger, his talent for future development is also growing stronger.

Although the simulation time and cooldown time remain the same, other changes brought about by the withdrawal of talents are gradually becoming apparent.

……

【Simulation ends, please select.】

[1. Three years of martial arts enlightenment.]

[My experience of spiritual practice over the past two or three years.]

[3. Chance in the past three years (random).]

"Choose one!"

Yang Wu chose martial arts enlightenment as usual. There was really no other good option.

Of course, if he chooses to withdraw from the three opportunities, perhaps he can also obtain the basic secrets used for the ruins assessment, such as the Spiritual Master Basics 312.

However, this thing can be obtained for free. There is no need to waste a withdrawal, and there is a high possibility that you will not get anything.

As long as I can pass the ruins assessment in the next simulation, I can enter the ancient civilization ruins in reality and retain another simulation opportunity...

Well, that's a good idea. I'll keep it for later use. ...

The next day.

Virtual space.

Swish!
Yang Wu's figure instantly appeared on the silver-white ground.

The day after tomorrow is December 12st, the time stipulated in the second clause of the contract. Yang Wu has met the conditions and can wait until the agreed day for the review.

But Yang Wu doesn't like being passive.

Coming to this virtual space today, he planned to conduct an early assessment test of his own abilities.

For strength assessment, in addition to the mental and physical fitness tests, the elite training camp has a more convenient testing method.

Virtual space!

In the virtual space, everyone's physical fitness is at the junior general level, and the standard punching force is 10000 kilograms, with an error of no more than 10 kilograms.

You only need to send a request to its intelligent system to perform the corresponding test.

Just like now...

"I need to take a punching power level test!"

call!
A punch strength testing machine appeared out of thin air on the silver ground in front of Yang Wu.

Walking to the punching force testing machine, Yang Wu took a deep breath, clenched his fist, exerted 5 times the force, and smashed it hard on the punching target.

"Peng~~"

The boxing target shook violently, and a string of numbers immediately appeared on the display screen.

"50014kg".

"Congratulations, your punching power level is 5.0!" An electronic voice echoed in the virtual space.

"Next, the artistic conception-level marksmanship test."

After passing the strength level assessment, Yang Wu did not hesitate and immediately started the next assessment.

The marksmanship test is a practical test, and you need to kill a certain number of monsters within a limited time to pass the assessment.

Soon, Yang Wu passed the assessment and uploaded the two test materials to the virtual space terminal.

Inside the trial room, Yang Wu took off his helmet, then took out his cell phone, found a number, and dialed it directly.

"Hello, Yang Wu."

The call was quickly connected, and a deep voice came from the other end.

"I'm applying for the second reward in the contract." Yang Wu said directly.

"Please wait, we are checking!"

"Verification passed. Congratulations. Based on the information you uploaded, you have completed the second item of the contract and are eligible for the following rewards."

The deep voice continued, "Any three complete sets of cheats, one set of the Black God set, please choose the cheats you need."

"Wait, do those three sets of secret books include the ultimate secret book?" Yang Wu asked hurriedly. He seemed to no longer need any other secret books.

"Yes, any three sets!"

"I don't need the secret manual anymore. Can you replace it with a set of SS-level combat uniforms and an SS-level Broken Army Spear?"

"Combat uniform?" The person on the other end raised his voice, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and confirmed again.

"Yes, one set to wear inside and one set to wear outside."

There was silence over there!
After a long while, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, please choose the combat uniform style you want."

Soon, Yang Wu chose a style of combat uniform that he often wore.

"The combat uniform and Black God suit will be delivered within the hour, please check them."

After the low voice finished speaking, it hung up the phone.
