Two hours passed, the Willpower test had sped up and it was finally the female trainees' turn.
"Listen up!"
Niu Hechuan's copper bell-like eyes showed a hint of impatience.
"Everyone, tidy your hair."
"When you enter the laboratory, you must show the epaulets for the Willpower test. That's the name code on your shoulders."
"Otherwise, the results would be rendered invalid and you will have to take the test again."
There were fewer female trainees than male, just slightly more than a hundred.
They were mostly young or middle-aged females.
A young female like Jiang Lulu seemed to stand out from the crowd. There was no way to hide her youthfulness.
She was fifth in line.
There were four others before her.
"Willpower test."
Jiang Lulu had always been curious about this. How did they measure the specific intensity of something intangible like Willpower?
It was interesting.
When she entered the laboratory, she must observe.
"Go in."
Soon it was Jiang Lulu's turn. The chief instructor Niu Hechuan instructed her to enter in a serious tone of voice and a blank expression on his face.
"╭(╯^╰)╮"
Jiang Lulu soared right away. She turned her head and flicked her red hair back. Like the wind, she turned the back of her head to Niu Hechuan.
Niu Hechuan nodded secretly to himself.
She was extremely courageous and had a temper. He liked stubborn trainees like her.
That's right…
Only trainees like her…
He could set his mind at ease when fighting and scolding them. There was no need to worry about crushing their self-confidence, less to worry about. They would probably be able to withstand high-intensity special training too.
Glancing at Jiang Lulu's shoulder, Niu Hechuan committed her name to his memory. Jiang Lulu.
Swoosh!
After entering the laboratory and listening to the tester's routine explanation, Jiang Lulu jumped onto the circular stage.
"What is that?"
Her eyes were shining as she stared at the box.
No one, except Tang Hong, had seen a God before.
"I wish to open the box."
With that thought, Jiang Lulu bounced past the light-colored area all the way to the golden area. That was when her expression became slightly serious.
She felt inexplicably oppressed.
Something whispered sacred syllables in her ear.
Most people were afraid of, unaccepting of, and unwilling to get near to the unknown. But Jiang Lulu was different. The girl's curiosity began to swell infinitely and she immediately clenched her small fist.
She took a step forward.
She actually stepped into the golden-red inner circle area!
"Attackkkkk!"
"I, Jiang Lulu, am going to counterattack today!"
After many more steps forward, she couldn't walk anymore. Deep regret immediately appeared in her big black eyes.
The truth was that Jiang Lulu had watched too many western fantasy movies. She subconsciously thought that the box was a treasure protected by an evil dragon.
On the other side of the circular stage.
The staff members looked up in shock. "The sixth person to reach golden-red? It turns out to be a female?"
"She is only eight steps away!"
"This special training camp is interesting. Six trainees reached the golden-red zone. Three are just a few steps away from the box. The ones who are just a few steps away from the box are closer to being Transcendent than the others."
Perhaps, before graduation, all three would be able to break the limits of their Willpower.
One should know that a few years ago…
If even just one Transcendent was born here before the completion of each special training camp, it was already a joyous event worth celebrating.
And now, as the current Transcendents became more aware of the mystery of Willpower, the refining and wide application of divine objects and the training methods became more and more standardized and effective. Breaking the limit of Willpower or even becoming Transcendents before graduation was no longer such a monumental occurrence.
As long as the Willpower reaches the standard, the special training camp would provide resources to help one become a Transcendent.
"The average level for this batch is pretty high."
After testing the Willpower of all the trainees who entered the camp, the testers were exhausted. They simply leaned against the circular stage to chat.
What did the golden-red color symbolize? It symbolized the advantage of entering the camp.
Some people made full use of the opportunity, others did not.
No matter how excellent the golden-red candidate was, there were always those who did well later on and rose. After all, there was no step-by-step method to improve Willpower. For those with high potential, it was never too late to start.
"Yeah, this is not a cultivation-type online game."
"There were two golden reds in the last session. They probably watched too many online movies. They thought that getting into the golden-red area was equivalent to having extraordinary aptitude. Furthermore, they were complacent and kept saying that one day of training for a golden red was equivalent to three days for the rest. What kind of rubbish theory is that?"
"Don't talk about those two. They didn't end well. In the end, they almost didn't graduate."
A tester waved his hand, then turned around and looked at the box in the middle of the circular stage. He sat down. The box contained remnants of a Regular God. This god was dead but they were still not qualified to move it.
They could only wait for the instructor to arrive.
At this moment, someone said.
"The top three in the Willpower test this year are Xiao Ziyun, Tang Hong, and Jiang Lulu. The first two Willpower scores are only slightly different. It seems that the result of this entry test is very interesting. Which one do you prefer?"
"Tang Hong. I'm envious of all his muscles."
"The first place has been decided." Someone next to him interrupted. "Xiao Ziyun has been honing his Willpower since the beginning of the spring last year. Do you really think Xiao Ziyun is sickly and weak? Are the consultants in Guangnan so careless?"
——
The Willpower test took a total of four hours and thirty minutes.
Compared with the golden box on the circular stage, the Physical Fitness Test was easier to understand. There was nothing strange about it.
Simply put, the physical fitness assessment was easily understandable by all. There was no confusion.
It was clear at a glance who was stronger in which aspect and who had higher ratings. This simple comparison of quantitative data made it easier for people to understand why they lost and why they won.
"Flexibility."
The top seed Xiao Ziyun held a measuring instrument expressionlessly to test the range of motion of the joints.
He had practiced for more than a year for this moment.
He expected to break the limit of Willpower in three months. After that, with external help, he would spend another three months breaking the limit of the human body!
At this moment, his fingers bent backwards to form a strange arc likewise with his elbows and knees. Ordinary people with higher flexibility could not exercise vigorously, but this does not include Xiao Ziyun, who was about to become Transcendent.
His estimate for himself that he would become a Transcendent before the end of the year.
"Tang Hong."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Xiao Ziyun seemed indifferent on the surface but he was quite ambitious.
He looked at the test results of endurance. Tang Hong had finished the test. An unknown person was waiting in line. Xiao Ziyun retracted his gaze and concentrated on his own test.
"It's my turn."
Guo Bojun took a deep breath and stepped forward.
There was a rectangular step in front of them. A total of ten people were performing the monotonous movement of going up and down the steps at the same time. They continued this for three minutes and before their pulses were measured.
"What is mine?"
Guo Bojun stared at the simple instrument for measuring pulse rate.
The number jumped between 81 and 83.
"Damn it."
"The standard for Excellent is within 55. The standard for good is within 75."
Guo Bojun immediately understood that he was only a little short of achieving a good standard for endurance.
He didn't want to compete for the rankings.
He couldn't even if he wanted to but there was still a trace of irritation in his heart.
"Haha, good."
Qian Xinxing's low laughter sounded next to him. He was breathing hard as if venting.
Chief Instructor Niu Hechuan used Qian Xinxing as a sacrificial lamb in front of 300 people to induce their awe and fear on the first day of camp. Qian Xinxing had been completely disgraced.
He stared at Guo Bojun. "Brother Jun, your result is not good."
"It's passable."
Guo Bojun squeezed out a sorrowful smile and shook his head faintly.
Qian Xinxing looked up to him and followed his lead. He seemed to have changed overnight.
Could it be the blow was too much?
As he was thinking about it, he heard surprised shouts from nearby!
"Tang Hong."
Guo Bojun stood on tiptoe and looked over. He faintly heard shocked exclamations of Tang Hong's name from the crowd.
