73: I have a talent for eggs.
"Isn't 60 a passing score?"
Chen Du looked at Luo Li, who was alternately scrutinizing him and the data report, occasionally frowning, and asked.
"60 is indeed a passing score, and it's also the most common Life Strength index value in our entire High Martial Civilization."
"But you have an A-level contract!"
"This is the first time I've seen someone with a Life Strength index of 60 get an A-level contract."
"Although the three talents—body, mind, and skill—are separate, your other two are so outstanding."
"Logically speaking, your Life Strength shouldn't be too far off."
"How could it be right at the passing line?"
After speaking, she stared at Chen Du again. If she didn't know that contracts couldn't be faked, she would have suspected Chen Du's identity.
Chen Du looked at her puzzled gaze, as if he had used some improper means to deceive Qilin Martial Arts University.
Based on Luo Li's description of talent, Chen Du was not surprised by the answer of a Life Strength index of 60; in fact, he considered it to be expected.
If Martial Skill talent was about comprehension, then he had undoubtedly comprehended it through countless battles in the Crystal Space.
Normal people wouldn't have the opportunity to engage in such a large number of "death matches."
Although he wouldn't truly die, his survival instinct would push Chen Du to explore his limits under a certain degree of pressure every time.
In this state, if a Genius's probability of successfully breaking through their current Martial Skill was 90%, Chen Du believed that even if his was only 1%, it didn't matter.
After all, he could do this every day; what he relied on was quantitative change leading to qualitative change!
The improvement of Mental Energy mainly came from the number of waves passed, followed by the Contemplation Method.
Only the Life Strength talent was something Chen Du had genuinely never changed.
Even if he had Awakened a Mystic Treasure early, it only meant he started absorbing Starry Sky Energy earlier; it didn't improve his talent at all.
Starry Sky Energy was equivalent to infusing the entire body with Qi and blood medicine, and "entire body" here also included the Martial Soul.
But this required time, relying on accumulation over days and months, not a sudden leap.
In fact, Chen Du was still a little scared just now. The detection of this Technology Martial Hall was so powerful.
It could even quantify Life Strength talent.
Thankfully, it couldn't detect that he already possessed a Mystic Treasure.
Ling Yun had told him the location of this Mystic Treasure because, although it was inside his body, it wasn't a newly generated substance.
Instead, it was a sight that only Chen Du himself could see.
In summary.
He had no talent whatsoever!
Not only did he lack Life Strength talent, but he also lacked Martial Skill and Mental Energy talents!
He was just an ordinary person. If he had to talk about talent, Chen Du believed his talent was hard work!
He was able to go from being at the bottom of the ordinary class in Liangcheng No. 1 High School, a key high school, to entering the Hongzhi Class.
And finally, he received an A-level letter of intent from Qilin Martial Arts University.
What he relied on was all his unremitting efforts!
Almost 24 hours of continuous operation every day allowed Chen Du to achieve his current accomplishments, surpassing his peers.
"It's alright, 60 is 60. Didn't you just say that Life Strength talent can be improved to an index of 80?"
Looking at Chen Du, whose attitude was unusually calm, Luo Li was a little surprised. Geniuses usually had some arrogance and self-importance.
Especially at this age, before going to university, before seeing other Geniuses.
They were always the "children of other people's families" in the mouths of parents and relatives, so it was inevitable to be a bit arrogant.
But Chen Du's character was so peaceful. Luo Li could tell he wasn't faking it.
This raised her evaluation of Chen Du:
"That's right, Chen Du, this improvement doesn't mean you're guaranteed to reach 80, but rather the theoretical limit is 80."
"As I said before, because of your appearance, 100 units of life energy have been directly locked."
"This is your A-level contract privilege, but you don't necessarily need that much."
"Students with A-level contracts basically excel in body, mind, and skill."
"It's rare to see someone like you who is so specialized."
"At first, I thought your low Life Strength was due to a lack of resources caused by your family's financial situation."
"Now it seems it's because your talent itself isn't good."
"Although 60 is a passing score, you must know that you are about to go to Qilin Martial Arts University."
"Your current Life Strength of 6.2 is at the bottom, not to mention among the Three Top Academies, but even among the Eight Famous Schools!"
"And I also need to tell you something: everything has its limits."
"According to our statistical data over many years, among people with a Life Strength index of 60."
"Only 10% can eventually raise their Life Strength to level 19.9."
"Fortunately, you came early. The Life Strength index gradually stabilizes after the age of 18; at that point, no Heaven And Earth Treasure will be of any use."
"If that were the case, your probability of becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior in this lifetime would likely be very low!"
After listening, Chen Du felt a chill of fear. If he had insisted on Huangshan Martial Arts University.
He might truly only have come into contact with this kind of information after he turned 18.
By then, it would be too late to regret!
"Also, I need to remind you that while Life Strength talent can indeed be improved, the process is extremely painful."
"It's not the same as the pain of injury; it's a kind of inner-to-outer improvement of your very life structure."
"Have you heard the phrase 'reforged in a furnace'? While it's not that terrifying, it's close to that."
"Extremely painful?"
Chen Du murmured to himself, then thought of the student who had left first. It seemed that person also needed improvement!
"Is 'Life Energy' its full name?"
"I haven't seen it online."
"It's normal that you haven't seen it. This is not for sale; it's generally only provided to students of the Three Great Academies."
After Luo Li finished speaking, seemingly knowing what Chen Du would ask, she added:
"When you came to this floor, you must have seen those students outside whose goal is the Eight Famous Schools, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Du answered truthfully. At first, he was startled by those students.
He thought they, like him, were third-year high school students who had signed contracts with the Three Top Academies.
"They are actually family members of the three major organizations: Limit Martial Hall, Technology Martial Hall, and Martial Artist Alliance."
"It is precisely because of this that they are qualified to use 1 unit of Life Energy."
Chen Du sighed a little upon hearing this. Those with connections in big cities truly won at the starting line.
He only learned today that something like Life Strength talent could be detected and improved with equipment.
And these people with backgrounds were already using it.
"The increase in the Life Strength index is approximately 1 index point every 5 minutes."
"Your index is 60, so the theoretical maximum duration is 100 minutes."
"The level of pain in this process is beyond that of surgery without anesthesia."
"During the process, once your willpower collapses, the improvement process will immediately stop."
"The index will be fixed at the moment your willpower collapses, and a second improvement cannot be performed."
"So, you must be mentally prepared to endure the pain!"
Chen Du smiled wryly at her words.
If it were about anything else, he wouldn't dare say he was 100% confident.
But when it came to enduring pain.
He was confident he could compete with the three strongest individuals in the High Martial Civilization!
Looking at Chen Du, whose face was beaming with a confident smile, Luo Li felt a pang of emotion.
Young people truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Immediately, she sent a message to Chen Du's wristband.
"Room 07 on the 200th floor is your Martial Arts Room. You can live there until the National Higher Education Entrance Examination."
"Starting tomorrow, we will provide you with Qi and blood medicine and related services for the corresponding stage, based on your actual situation."
Luo Li said this and patted Chen Du's shoulder.
"Get a good night's rest. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM, come with me to the Life Strength Improvement Room on the 244th floor."
