BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 - 56: Intuition of the Mind
But their natural endowments were only average in the entire country, let alone in the larger Federation.
On the way to the Logistics Department, Jack Clark also pondered this issue.
Should he go? Or not go?
Under normal conditions, with the synchronous strengthening of a Heavy Armored Beast Avatar, he only needed to survive for another year or two. Then his strength would naturally surpass that of his peers with genius talents.
Right, it was estimated that he would need to endure for more than a year to surpass a genius like Jane Aiken.
After the second evolution, the Heavy Armored Beast s evolution points increased rapidly due to abundant food, but at the same time, more energy was needed for its body to grow.
Thus, it would take about two months for the beast to reach the requirements for the third evolution, with an increase of 5 points every day.
What about the fourth evolution? Half a year?
As his physique strengthened, those geniuses also progressed at an alarming rate. After reaching the Fourth Layer Heaven or Fifth Layer Heaven, having pure power and speed might not necessarily make them a match for True Martial Experts.
After all, those who reached the Sixth-level Heaven or above could resist heavy weapons. And after reaching the Seventh-level Heaven, the power of their True Strength would be even more terrifying.
In this case, his physical body must be strong enough to withstand missiles to be on par with high-ranking powerhouses.
But if he chose to take the trial, he would face certain dangers, and at the same time, the rewards would be great.
Killing those cultists could earn a lot of Contribution Points, which could then be exchanged for Life Crystals. By then, his strength would soar like a rocket.
Moreover, his actual combat strength had already reached the Third Layer Heaven, and his survival rate was higher than that of all his classmates. If he was careful, he should be fine.
After all, this was a freshman trial, not meant to kill them. The school and the official authorities would do their best to keep the risks within their bearable range.
After analyzing the pros and cons of going and not going, Jack Clark temporarily made no decision, planning to wait a few days to see what would happen.
“Teacher, I want to exchange for two Level 1 Life Crystals.”
“Enter your Student ID.”
“Verification passed, you have 8 Contribution Points this month and are eligible for 20% off exchange privileges. Do you confirm that you want to exchange all of them for Life Crystals?”
“Confirmed.”
After waiting for a while, Jack Clark walked out of the Logistics Department with two Life Crystals. On the way, he transformed them into attribute points and was lucky enough to get 9 points.
“To strengthen the Dragon Elephant Power to the third layer, 20 attribute points are required. Currently, there are not enough attribute points to strengthen.”
Personal Cultivation Room, Jack Clark paused upon seeing the words floating in front of him: “As expected, it takes more attribute points to break through the third layer of Dragon Elephant Power.”
He wasn’t surprised by this result.
After a moment of contemplation, Jack chose to strengthen his Sword Skill.
“Consume attribute points to strengthen the Mind s Eye Bright Knife.”
As Jack’s voice fell, the 10 attribute points on the page disappeared in an instant. At the same time, a stream of special energy emerged in his mind. Bang!
Jack’s consciousness roared, his perception spread throughout the entire Cultivation Room as if it exploded, and he sensed the outside world from another angle as if his soul had left his body.
At the same time, information about Sword Skills crazily poured into his mind, and his body underwent subtle changes.
His arms became stronger, his palms rougher as if he had practiced with a sword for several years. A sharp aura gradually emitted from him.
After an unknown period of time, Jack opened his eyes with sharp gazes, seeing faint blade lights circulating within them.
“What a strange feeling from this enhancement.”
With a thoughtful look. Jack raised his palm like a knife and waved it. Instantly, an invisible sharpness protruded between his fingers, and the air made a faint tearing sound.
Unlike breaking through the Dragon Elephant Power, rhe breakthrough in Sword Skills made Jack feel as if he had forcibly compressed and absorbed the experiences of practicing the sword for several years.
Now, he was like an old swordsman who had used a sword for many years. Not only was he instinctively adept with his Sword Skills, but his body also had memories of practice.
The biggest harvest from this breakthrough was that he had completely entered the realms of Heart’s Eye Perception.
Even if he closed his eyes at this moment when he was in the Personal Cultivation Room, he could still sense the situation inside and even outside.This perception was not from released spirit power but a mysterious induction similar to the sixth sense, where one seemingly gained an extra pair of Heart s Eye to perceive danger and killing intent.
After quietly feeling the changes brought about by this breakthrough, Jack Clark called up his attribute page with a thought.
In the following days, Jack focused on the international situation.
Right after the Federation conference passed the motion, a group of Federation cultivators brazenly parachuted in and carried out beheading operations against rhe rebels and Evil God Sect in rhe major cities of Koroya.
This surprise attack killed most of the high-level strongmen of the rebels and Evil God Sect on the spot.
Meanwhile, during the beheading operation, elite Federation troops also entered the major cities of Koroya on a large scale via airdrop.
With the help of the air force and navy’s firepower, a total of tens of thousands of fighter and bomber runs were carried out in just two days, talcing control of all the main cities.
In addition, the already gathered army and armored troops through sea and air transport around Koroya launched an attack at the same time, encircling and annihilating the remaining rebels.
Facing such overwhelming power, the entire Koroya territory was captured in just three days.
Obviously, before the Federal Assembly was convened, the Federation had already begun assembling troops in preparation for suppressing the insurgents, and the conference was merely a formality.
Hence, the danger of this trial might be even lower than anticipated.
At the same time, this battle also indirectly displayed the terrifying power of the Human Federation, crushing the power of a small allied nation as effortlessly as swatting a fly.
“Mom, the school is organizing an outing for trials, and I might have to go on a long trip next week,” Jack said to Doris Raven during dinner.
After breaking through to the Heart s Eye Realm and possessing a wide range of keen intuition for perceiving danger, he finally decided to participate in the trial after weighing the pros and cons.
As a cultivator, if he didn’t have rhe courage to participate in such a low-level trial under the protection of the school and the Federation, how could he even face the ferocious mutated beasts?
And although he could choose not to participate this time, rhe Mutated Beast Trial, a must for sophomores, would come next?
His character was steady and low-key, not timid.
When other Second Layer Heaven classmates dared to participate in the trials, he, whose strength was comparable to Third Layer Heaven, felt embarrassed for being too cautious.
Everyone was in the same boat, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Of course, what made him determined was the power displayed by the Federation, which quelled the entire Koroya territory in just three days and killed most of the high-ranking insurgents and Evil God Sect experts.
The remaining ones were chased by the Federation’s powerhouses, with no way to escape to the heavens or the earth.
Doris Raven was startled and then asked with concern, “Trials? Is it dangerous? How long will it take?”
Jack shook his head, “There’s no real danger. We’re just freshmen, and the difficulty of rhe trials arranged by the school won’t be too high, unlike the Mutated Beast Trials we ll face as sophomores.”
“However, the place we’re going to this time is quite far, and it might rake a month or two.”
Doris nodded, “As long as there’s no danger, but it’s going to take quite a while.”
Looking at the sunny youth in front of her, Doris suddenly realized that since high school, her son’s changes had been getting bigger, and now he was going to go out on his own.
This was his first time being away from home for so long.
“Bro, is everyone in your grade going to this trial?” Glenn Clark asked curiously.
Jack shook his head, “Only the top 100 in the grade qualify. Oh, by the way, the school held a freshman ranking competition before, and I ranked 49th.”
Saying this, Jack remembered that he hadn’t mentioned this to his family before.
“Bro, you’re amazing,” Glenn exclaimed in excitement and admiration, “1 heard that this term of South Sky Martial Height has many geniuses, and you still managed to make it to the top 49. You’re truly my brother.”
“Uh… how did you know that this term at South Sky Martial Height had so many geniuses?” Jack asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Hehe… my classmate told me. He also said that there’s a girl named Jane Aiken in your school who’s dominating the whole grade and is just amazing.”
Jack was speechless, “…Where did you pick up these adjectives?”
Glenn’s excitement aside, Doris Raven’s eyes grew warmer and prouder when she learned of her son’s excellent performance in school..
