Chapter 5: The Crazy Testing Hall

Before entering the testing hall, as Shifeng nodded and agreed to let Wu Lingling and twenty other freshmen participate in the test, the new students looked at Shifeng with puzzled expressions, and Wu Lingling was even more stunned.

"Teacher Shi! Is this enough?"

Wu Lingling looked at Shifeng, who had a satisfied expression, and felt that her intelligence was greatly challenged.

You should know that she had lost face in front of everyone by doing the kind of warm-up exercises that only elementary school students would do. Although it thoroughly warmed up her body and made her feel more agile, that was all there was to it. There was absolutely no improvement in her combat level and skills, let alone in the virtual trial tower.

These physical warm-up exercises had no meaning in dealing with the challenges of the trial tower.

She thought that after doing these warm-up exercises, Shifeng would give them some guidance on combat skills or techniques for dealing with the trial tower.

But... it ended just like that?

A hundred thousand credit points!

They were made to do warm-up exercises more than ten times?

"Well, it's enough," Shifeng looked at Wu Lingling, who had a somewhat dazed look, and smiled, "If you want more guidance, it won't be at this price. Of course, if you become my student, I can give you a 40% discount."

As Shifeng finished speaking, both Wu Lingling and the other freshmen present looked at him with astonishment.

Other people's mentors are all so busy providing resources that they don't even have time, wishing they could have multiple clones to personally teach each student.

But now, if you become a student of Shi Feng, not to mention other resources, the teaching is not even free, and there is a fee. Not to mention the fee, even the discount for his own students is only 60%...

At this moment, even Luo Tiancheng, who has been watching on the side, couldn't help but look at Shi Feng with admiration in his eyes.

Even teaching his own students requires a fee, Shi Feng is truly the number one person in their Divine Realm Academy!

If he can still attract students under these circumstances, it would definitely be a miracle!

Shi Feng looked at Wu Lingling, whose eyes were already filled with disdain, and didn't explain too much. He pointed to the opening hours of the testing area and said, "It's getting late, if you don't go for the test soon, you might not have enough time."

The new students looked and indeed realized that it was already late. If they didn't hurry to take the test and then find a mentor, they wouldn't even be able to attend classes after the school starts.

Immediately, they all hurried over to queue for the test, leaving only Shi Feng and Luo Tiancheng, whose smile on his face grew stronger.

"It's finally starting, let's see how you act calm then!" Luo Tiancheng glanced at Shi Feng, who had a calm expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.

Originally, he thought Shi Feng had great abilities. After all, Shi Feng used to be a master and it was normal for him to know some secrets that they didn't know. Maybe he knew some techniques and experiences of challenging the Trial Tower that outsiders didn't know. But now it seems that he was just overthinking.

A set of stretching exercises, not to mention improving their skills in the virtual world, even their real-life combat abilities would not be improved in the slightest.

What Shi Feng is doing is simply seeking attention from the crowd.

Only seen the passing of time, one by one, a group of freshmen participating in the test entered the testing hall. After waiting for more than twenty minutes, it was finally the turn of the freshman instructed by Shi Feng.

This freshman was none other than Meng Ziyu, the shy teenager who had previously been tested wearing sportswear.

Meng Ziyu was clearly not satisfied with reaching the later stage of the fourth floor of the Trial Tower. The level of the later stage of the fourth floor only received a B-level evaluation in the academy, with a reward of twelve bottles of A-level nutrient potions per year. This was equivalent to one bottle per month, and all school resources purchased could be discounted by 30%.

But if one were to reach the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, even if it was only at the initial stage, they could receive an A-level evaluation. This would reward them with twenty-four bottles of A-level nutrient potions per year, which was equivalent to 240,000 credits. This was not much different from the annual income of a senior white-collar worker outside. The most important thing was the 40% discount, which allowed free use of the school's basic training equipment.

For a student from a not so wealthy family, this would save a lot of money. After all, the virtual reality game, God's Domain, was different from other virtual games. Physical fitness was important because only with strong physical fitness could the brain receive better potential development and improve technical skills faster.

In God's Domain, there was a saying that only with a strong physique could one shape a powerful soul, so daily physical exercise was necessary and could not be neglected for even a day.

Seeing that Luo Tiancheng was willing to offer him 100,000 credits to try for free, Meng Ziyu naturally wanted to give it a try. Even if it didn't work out, there would be no loss, but if it succeeded, he would make a big profit.

Meng Ziyu took a deep breath and nervously walked into the virtual cabin that had been prepared in the testing hall, ready to test again.

"This Meng Ziyu is quite a good seedling. After this time, I'll have to find a way to convince him to become my student." Luo Tiancheng looked at Meng Ziyu, who had started the test, and some thoughts arose in his mind.

Meng Ziyu, who was currently in front of him, was only seventeen years old. At this age, without any training, he was already impressive to be able to reach the later stage of the fourth floor of the Trial Tower. This level was only two steps away from the current top players in God's Domain, who were at the middle stage of the fifth floor of the Trial Tower.

You should know that after ten years of development, Shenyu has hundreds of billions of players. If you want to be considered a master in it at such a young age, unless you have exceptional talent, it is not easy to become a recognized ordinary master in Shenyu.

If you undergo systematic training and become a top-notch expert in the guild, there is absolutely no problem. It is also possible to become an expert in the future. After all, Shenyu has undergone ten years of development, and all aspects of training and inheritance are constantly strengthening and improving. The conditions are much better than they were before.

If it weren't for the fact that these older generation experts are too old and their physical fitness has declined, and their brain activity has also declined, reaching the realm of perfection would not be an unattainable dream.

At this time, not only Luo Tiancheng is considering this in the testing hall, but the mentors of other major guilds are also thinking about how to persuade Mengziyou. After all, introducing a genius to the guild can bring a lot of rewards and contributions, and as their own students, the future path can also be broader.

As for geniuses like Wu Lingling, ordinary major guilds dare not even think about it, because geniuses like Wu Lingling have long been targeted by first-class guilds, and even super-first-class guilds. With the strength and resources of first-class and super-first-class guilds, they are not comparable to second or third-rate guilds. Even a fool knows how to choose.

Just as many mentors were chatting outside the testing hall, suddenly Mengziyou walked out of the testing hall with a look of joy and shock on his face.

"What's going on?"

"Could he really have made progress?"

Many mentors who were paying attention to Mengziyou looked at his expression and had some guesses, but they were also skeptical because they had heard clearly about the bet between Shifeng and Luo Tiancheng.

It is simply impossible for a freshman to directly improve by one level in the Trial Tower just by doing the fitness exercises a dozen times.

Just as some mentors were about to approach and ask, the test results outside the testing hall were also announced directly.

Mengziyou, 17 years old, Trial Tower: Level 5, Initial Stage (previous best score in Level 4, later stage), evaluation grade A.

Although there was only one line of text on the display screen outside the testing hall, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Mengziyou as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Level 5, Initial Stage? How is this possible!"

Luo Tiancheng stared at the score display screen outside the testing hall, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, unable to believe what he saw.

Just by doing dozens of exercises, one could directly improve by one level. Who would believe such a thing?

But Mengziyou had no reason to hide his strength before and help Shi Feng, and most importantly, Mengziyou was brought here by him personally.

Not only the many mentors present were dumbfounded, but also the freshmen and the other freshmen who had participated in the teaching. Their eyes were about to pop out.

"Is this a joke? How is this possible?"

"Could this person be a plant?"

Many of the freshmen present had seen Mengziyou's previous test scores, so they knew what level he was at. But even in this situation, many freshmen still couldn't believe it and thought that Shi Feng and Mengziyou were in cahoots.

Otherwise, how could it be explained that just by doing some exercises, the Trial Tower could improve by one level?

"It's just luck! It must be luck!" Luo Tiancheng couldn't help but say, "Mengziyou definitely already had the combat level of Level 5, but his condition was not good before, so he didn't reach Level 5. Now that his condition is back, that's why he reached Level 5!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement, thinking that this explanation made the most sense, after all, everyone has their own condition issues.

Different mental states will naturally manifest in different ways. Mengzi has already reached the later stages of the fourth level of the Trial Tower and is not far from the fifth level. If his state is excellent at this time, there is no doubt that he can break through to the fifth level.

However, just as everyone thought so, another pure and quiet young girl walked out. This young girl was also a new student who had been taught by Shifeng. Her fair and rosy face was filled with excitement.

"I did it! I finally broke through to B-level!"

As the young girl couldn't help but shout, and with the grades displayed on the screen, the whole crowd fell silent, and Luotiancheng was stunned.

As more and more new students who had been taught by Shifeng walked out, each of them showed excitement. The silence in the whole venue gradually turned into numbness, and finally into a sensation.

Because the last one to take the test, Wu Lingling, actually advanced from the early stage of the fifth level of the Trial Tower to the middle stage of the fifth level, becoming a recognized ordinary master in the Divine Realm. She was the second genius in the entire Divine Realm Academy, apart from Wu Xiaoxiao, to achieve the middle stage of the fifth level of the Trial Tower in terms of entrance exam scores!

Luotiancheng's eyes almost popped out when he saw Wu Lingling's grades. It felt like he was dreaming.

Even Wu Lingling herself hadn't recovered from the shock and didn't understand how she passed the early stage of the fifth level of the Trial Tower. No matter how she tried before, she couldn't pass it. But this time, she passed surprisingly easily.

Only Shifeng in the venue didn't feel any surprise.

Because the fitness routine he created was not an ordinary one, but one that incorporated the techniques of the Divine Realm and the subtle skills of the microcosm. Serious study not only allows people to better experience the microcosm, but more importantly, it enables people to use some subtle movements that are usually unnoticed.

Although it cannot truly reach the level of the microcosm, after getting used to these subtle movements, one can better adapt to the adjustments of some subtle movements in battle, reduce some unnatural stagnation, and make one's actions more fluid.

After entering the virtual world, this effect will become more pronounced because the brain controls the virtual body more easily than the real body. Some actions will be amplified, allowing for movements that are not normally possible, and naturally improving combat skills.

Of course, this kind of thing must be persisted in for a long time to form an instinctive reaction. The effects of short-term training are not very good, but it is not difficult to directly improve the difficulty of the first six levels of the Trial Tower.

"Teacher Luo, thank you for your two million credit points," Shi Feng glanced at Luo Tiancheng, who had not yet recovered, and said calmly, "My twenty students have all been recruited. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Because of the shock brought by Wu Lingling and others, it must be said that the publicity effect was excellent. In just a few minutes, he recruited thirty people, twenty of whom were new students he had previously taught. Wu Lingling also thought about it and became his apprentice, meeting the bottom line set by the academy, officially becoming a junior mentor in the Divine Realm Academy.

"Shi Feng, don't get too proud!" Luo Tiancheng's face was gloomy, but he still showed a cold smile when he looked at Shi Feng leaving. "Even if you become a junior mentor in the academy, so what? Do you think you can return to the peak? "

After speaking, Luo Tiancheng turned and left, his eyes full of resentment.

Two million credit points, this was his savings for many years!

However, thinking that Shi Feng was ultimately driven out like a stray dog by the Phantom, his mood improved a lot. The Divine Realm Academy may have many resources, but they are not resources from the Divine Realm. With Shi Feng alone and only a junior mentor, what can he compare with him in the future?

At night, in the Marriott Senior Villa Community.

In the exercise room on the top floor of the three-story villa, Lin Yaoyue, wearing a tight sportswear that outlined her charming curves, wiped the sweat from her forehead and took out a bottle of S-grade nutritional potion from the nearby refrigerator, drinking it in one gulp. If the mentors in the academy saw this scene, they would all drool.

However, at this moment in the gym, there was only one glamorous woman wearing a lace dress and a pair of long, slender legs, admiring the scene. She couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Yaolin, it's been a while. I didn't expect that besides your improved combat skills, even that area has grown quite a bit. If Li Shao and the others knew, they would probably be even more crazy than before!" The glamorous woman looked at Lin Yaoyue and said with a smile.

"Yaolin, stop teasing me." Lin Yaoyue glanced at the glamorous woman, Zhuo Yalin, who was also her only good friend, and curiously asked, "I've been busy with academy matters during this time. How is the situation in the guild?"

"What else can it be? Everyone is fully preparing for the new expansion, World War, tonight." Zhuo Yalin said tiredly, "I've been busy too, trying to gather information about the new expansion."

"Is this Ancient Small World mentioned in the new expansion really that powerful?" Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but ask.

The new expansion, World War, had been heavily promoted more than a month ago. In this expansion, the entire Divine Realm continent would not only go to war with another divine realm world, but also encounter an Ancient Small World. It was rumored that this Ancient Small World possessed the environment of the ancient divine realm and would greatly assist players in leveling up and advancing. This had attracted the attention of major forces in the Divine Realm, all wanting to compete for this Ancient Small World.

"This Ancient Small World is even more powerful than you think. According to rumors, it was created by ancient gods and is a small part separated from our divine realm world in ancient times. It contains many ancient legacies and resources that were only available in ancient times." Zhuo Yalin nodded, her eyes filled with excitement. "But according to the expansion, this small world is very special. Only players above level 100 and at the third rank can enter. Once inside, they will be forcibly suppressed to level 100 and the third rank. Due to the environmental and inheritance factors there, the third and fourth rank experts of major forces are all thinking of entering to advance to the fourth rank or re-advance to the fourth rank to make up for their previous shortcomings. You haven't been confident in advancing to the fifth rank, right? You can also give it a try."

"That's one way to do it." Lin Yaoyue became interested after hearing this.

In the Divine Realm, each advancement rank was extremely difficult, especially reaching the fifth rank, which was like a nightmare. If she could obtain a better foundation in the Ancient Small World, it would indeed be a great help in advancing to the fifth rank.

"By the way, I heard that the former president of the Shadow Guild has come to your academy. How is that person?" Zhuo Yalin suddenly asked, "Our guild is really lacking experts in the Ancient Small World. After all, we still have to deal with those high-level players from the outside world."

"Since he is the president of the Shadow Guild, his level should be quite good. If we can recruit him into our guild, it should greatly increase our guild's power in the Ancient Small World."

"He was indeed the former president of Shadow, and he does have some abilities. He was able to recruit thirty new students in one day at the academy." Lin Yaoyue shook her head and directly sent all the specific information about Shi Feng to Zhuo Yalin. She slowly said, "However, he is ultimately just a peak expert at the Third Order, and he is also getting older. It would be too difficult for him to make further progress, and the people from Shadow have been keeping an eye on him. Now that Shadow has the support of a super guild dominating the world, it's better to forget about it."

"Is that so?" Zhuo Yalin thought for a moment and agreed. Looking at the specific information about Shi Feng, she sighed softly, "It's a pity. If he wasn't the former president of Shadow, with his level, it wouldn't be impossible for him to join any top guild and become a core member. Unfortunately, Shadow is no longer what it used to be."

Meanwhile, while Lin Yaoyue and Zhuo Yalin were chatting, Shi Feng, who was in a villa in the Qingzhu Advanced Residential Area, also entered the virtual reality cabin and once again entered the Divine Realm.
