168: two
When illuminated by the Life Goddesss Favor, Chen Du had never felt a sense of Perfection or reaching a Bottleneck.
He only felt that his future potential was constantly expanding, bit by bit.
This made him always believe that his index, or what was called his Genius, was continuously approaching 100 points.
Now, after two “malfunctions” of the equipment, Chen Du realized this.
His current Life Strength index had probably exceeded the theoretical limit set by High Martial Civilization!
The Life Strength index is a value jointly derived from various factors such as human genes, cells, and blood.
It is used to intuitively express a person's Genius in Life Strength.
Although Mystic Treasure determines your upper limit, in terms of Life Strength,
if you don't have a certain degree of Genius, you won't reach the so-called upper limit.
After all, that is the extreme value of a person's Life Strength Rank, how could it be so easily maxed out?
Chen Du's original index was 80 points, a mediocre value at Qilin Martial Arts University.
He was considered below average in the Qilin Class, but the differences among them were not significant; the majority scored in the 80s, and very few students scored 90 points.
Chen Du didn't know the exact number of students with 90 points or above, only that Xuan Yuan Tai Shan and Han Yanji fell into that category.
This was because, under the test of the first general education class 13, both of them had two Mystic Treasures.
Of course, there were other B-Rank students who also had two Mystic Treasures, but Chen Du was busy dealing with the red balls at the time and couldn't pay attention to so many details.
A 100-point index is theoretically perfect, an unbreakable value.
It is also called Extreme Genius.
Such individuals can only be Innate, not Acquired through cultivation.
However, after so many years, High Martial Civilization has not seen anyone whose index reached 100 points.
Currently, the highest Chen Du has heard of is Durags, the founder of the Technology Martial Hall and the second strongest person in High Martial Civilization!
He dominated the competition with an absolute Genius of 97 points.
Although Chen Du believed his index exceeded 100 points, he did not think the theory of High Martial Civilization was wrong.
It's just that he seemed to have “broken the mold.”
Under the continuous illumination of the Life Goddesss Favor, he seemed to have broken through the so-called Perfection!
Moving towards an even greater Perfection!
Or perhaps there was never such a thing as Perfection, just like a classic saying:
There is no best, only better!
“Chen Du, this equipment has a problem! I've already sent a message to the maintenance department.”
“They will send someone to inspect it shortly.”
“I apologize for making you come all this way for nothing.”
“But don't worry, I just checked the nearby Technology Martial Halls for you.”
“Martial Arts Room 10 and 11 are currently being used by a sophomore and a senior, respectively.”
“Martial Arts Room 12 is temporarily unused, and I have already booked it for you.”
Qiao Li apologized. As a duty officer, checking whether the instruments and equipment are normal is one of her job responsibilities.
Clearly, she attributed the 100-point test result to her own dereliction of duty.
However, Qiao Li was also very puzzled, because her subsequent checks indeed found no problems.
Just as she was still wondering if Chen Du would blame her wrongly,
Beep!
5 points. Thank you for your perfect rating. It was a pleasure to serve you.
The System's prompt sounded in the room.
“I'm leaving, Sister Li.”
Chen Du raised his hand, made a waving gesture, and left with a smile.
Chen Du knew that these ratings were related to their salaries, and unless there were particularly egregious circumstances, he always gave full marks.
“Since it's booked, I'll go to Martial Arts Room 12 again. It's not very far anyway.”
“If it's still 100 points, then it will completely confirm that my idea is correct.”
After muttering to himself, Chen Du jogged in one direction.
He hadn't run many steps.
His wristband suddenly vibrated.
Chen Du stopped and raised his hand.
“Principal Pang?”
“Has that pseudo-S contract come down?”
Chen Du muttered to himself.
“But I don't need it now. Coming to the Technology Martial Hall to test my Life Strength Genius was only for subsequent self-justification.”
Although he thought this, Chen Du dared not neglect Pang Tian Ce's call.
He quickly answered.
“Principal Pang.”
Chen Du said respectfully.
“Chen Du, did you just go to test your Life Strength index?”
“Yes.”
Chen Du answered truthfully. Above Qilin Martial Arts University, there were millions of flying devices used for monitoring.
Every student's movement trajectory was clearly visible.
“The test result was 100 points?”
Pang Tian Ce asked again.
“Yes, but, Principal Pang, how did you know?”
Chen Du asked in confusion. The only person who knew, Qiao Li, thought it was equipment malfunction, so logically no one should have informed him.
“It's like this, Chen Du.”
“Once a student's Life Strength index is greater than or equal to 95 points, the wristband will automatically notify our eight Vice-Principals and the Principal.”
“So that's how it is.”
Chen Du replied, and at the same time mentioned that the equipment might have malfunctioned.
Upon hearing this, Pang Tian Ce's thoughts were similar to Chen Du's; he didn't believe the equipment would malfunction.
After all, that probability was even lower than being struck by lightning for no reason while walking on the road.
“What is your Life Strength Rank now?”
On the other end of the wristband, Pang Tian Ce thought of something and immediately asked.
“Exactly Rank 11. I just advanced around 9 AM today.”
After a few seconds of silence, Pang Tian Ce's voice came from the other end of the wristband, sounding a bit excited but trying his best to suppress it:
“It can't be wrong!”
“That equipment is definitely not faulty!”
“Our last meeting was on July 20th, and it's been less than 11 days since then.”
“That means you increased your Life Strength from Rank 10 to Rank 11 in just over 10 days!”
“This speed can only be achieved with a Genius of 100 points!”
“It's incredible. To be honest, if I hadn't heard you admit it yourself, I would have believed the wristband on my hand was Qin Shi Huang!”
Then, changing the subject, he asked:
“Chen Du, did you feel a certain change in your body when you advanced to a Martial Artist?”
“For example, the feeling of a small field path suddenly becoming a wide highway?”
Chen Du knew that Pang Tian Ce was talking about Life Leap, but he used different metaphors.
The core was simply one sentence:
Upgrading a bird gun to a cannon!
“Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling!”
Chen Du replied, taking the hint.
“A miracle!”
“It's simply a miracle! I never thought that our High Martial Civilization would have two students whose Life Strength index reached 100 points!”
Two?
Students?
The moment Chen Du heard this, he felt his head buzz.
Besides himself, who else had a Life Strength index of 100?
“How about this, Chen Du, come to Martial Arts Room 1 immediately.”
“I have something else to tell you here.”
“I originally planned to tell you about this and the S-Rank contract upgrade after the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition, after some time had passed.”
“Now that you are already Rank 11, there's no need to wait.”
“I just sent you the authorization. Come over immediately.”
“It's about that piece of leather.”
Hearing the two words “leather,” Chen Du's pupils constricted, and he instinctively thought of ten words:
“Neptune - Overlord-Rank - Eternal Frost Civilization!”
