On the ninth-floor lobby, the geniuses from all over the world were also chatting about Wang Yi, who had just arrived.
"The one just now should be a newcomer, right?"
"I seem to have heard that a newcomer from Huaxia Country will come at the end of this month."
"Where do you think he can reach on his first try?"
"Just a newcomer; clearing the First Layer Grade A test would already be quite impressive."
In their words, these geniuses from all over the world didn't think much of the newly arrived Wang Yi.
After all, they were geniuses themselves, and the best kind at that.
Virtual Space.
In a boundless grassland, Wang Yi was fighting a group of Savage Oxen.
Every Savage Ox's physical fitness was exactly the same as Wang Yi's; in other words, it was almost equivalent to Wang Yi single-handedly facing the siege of fifty monsters of the same level.
The grey-black combat uniform on Wang Yi was already stained with blood, his face stern, yet his gaze extremely calm.
His figure flickered among the Savage Oxen like a ghost, utilizing the surrounding environment and the bodies of the Savage Oxen to perform all sorts of unfathomable movements, while the twin blades in his hands turned into two bloody streaks of lightning, crisscrossing through the herd of Savage Oxen, tearing open one gap after another as a rain of blood scattered.
The running sounds and roars of the Savage Oxen resounded across the entire grassland.
Yet they couldn't even touch Wang Yi's shadow.
Fifty Savage Oxen rushed toward the black-haired teenager with red eyes, wave after wave, falling one by one under Wang Yi's blade as their number dwindled.
Finally, the grassland quieted down; corpses covered the ground, the scent of blood permeated the air, and only a single black-and-red figure stood there alone.
Yet in killing these fifty Savage Oxen, Wang Yi's breathing was only slightly hurried, and he didn't even have a single trace of a wound.
Artistic Conception Level body movement coupled with blade technique, as well as the First Form of the Ninefold Thunder Blade force, made it so that when Wang Yi faced this group of Savage Oxen, it was simply a one-sided massacre.
No difficulty at all. Wang Yi glanced at the corpses on the ground.
"Time taken: 1 minute and 01 seconds; all 50 Savage Oxen killed. Grade A test passed! Congratulations, trainee Wang Yi," a grand electronic voice reverberated across the vast grassland. "You have completed the Grade A trial of the First Layer; the next step is the Grade B trial. The target is to kill 100 Savage Oxen within 30 minutes. It will start in 1 minute. Good luck!"
Wang Yi's expression remained unchanged.
"Preparation time one minute; countdown begins: 59, 58..."
Soon, a minute passed, and on the grassland a hundred meters ahead of Wang Yi, sturdy ox-type monsters nearly three meters tall each appeared.
"Moo~~"
A full hundred Savage Oxen rushed toward Wang Yi with red eyes and white steam blowing from their nostrils, charging like a flood with great momentum, making even the grassland seem to tremble slightly.
"A hundred!" Wang Yi's eyes narrowed instantly as a cold light swept past.
Swish!
The distance of a hundred meters was crossed in an instant by both parties who possessed Elementary Warlord Level bodies; in just the blink of an eye, the sharp horns on the heads of the towering Savage Oxen at the very front were about to crash into Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's face was calm, his figure flying and dodging among the Savage Oxen like an erratic flowing flame, while at the same time dodging... the war blade in his hand moved simultaneously.
Rip, rip, rip...
A succession of leather-tearing sounds came one after another from within the herd of Savage Oxen, and gorgeous blood-red colors simultaneously bloomed on the necks of the few Savage Oxen closest to Wang Yi.
Breathtaking.
Wang Yi's face was indifferent, his figure like lightning, illusory and dreamlike as an unreal firelight flickering and sprinting through the dense herd of Savage Oxen; wherever he passed, splashes of blood bloomed continuously along the way.
The number of Savage Oxen was rapidly decreasing...
No matter how the herd of Savage Oxen besieged that firelight in the middle, they were always doomed to fall short. What's more, due to their size, there were often only three or four Savage Oxen that could approach Wang Yi's body at the same time.
To Wang Yi, it made no difference whether they were there or not.
His figure was like lightning, his blade strikes like fire, filled with a shocking sense of power.
The corpses on the ground grew more and more numerous, gradually becoming dense.
"Hah!"
Wang Yi's figure abruptly came to a halt, appearing at the other end, while behind him lay a whole path of Savage Oxen corpses, not a single one standing.
In such a short time, relying on his own strength, he had shockingly and forcefully carved a bloody path straight through a herd of 100 Savage Oxen.
Artistic Conception Level blade technique was terrifying. For example, ordinary martial artists who mastered the Ninefold Thunder Blade force usually could only unleash a single blade at full strength when swinging at the same time.
However, Artistic Conception Level blade technique, through the perfect mastery of blade force, allowed Wang Yi to swing more blades in the same amount of time.
What's more, his weapons were twin blades!
The attack frequency was increased twofold!
Coupled with the Artistic Conception Level body movement—and this body movement was seamlessly integrated with the blade technique, matching each other with extreme harmony—the strength he unleashed became even more terrifying as a result.
Moreover, the First Form of the Ninefold Thunder Blade force application technique could also act upon the entire body, such as speed, causing Wang Yi's instantaneous movement speed to surge by forty percent!
The speed at which those Savage Oxen rushed in front of him was not even as fast as his own proactive slaughter!
A one-sided massacre!
If Wang Yi hadn't wanted to temper himself and intentionally slowed down his clearance speed, his speed in annihilating these Savage Oxen would have been even faster!
One hundred Beginner Beast General level Savage Oxen couldn't even make Wang Yi feel a shred of pressure.
"Time taken: 2 minutes and 11 seconds; all 100 Savage Oxen killed. Grade B test passed! Congratulations, trainee Wang Yi," an electronic voice resembling a god spirit reverberated across the sky of the entire grassland.
"You have completed the Grade B trial of the First Layer; the next step is the Grade C trial. The target is to kill 200 Savage Oxen within 50 minutes. Among these 200 Savage Oxen monsters, 190 are Beginner Beast General level and 10 are Intermediate Beast General level. Good luck!"
"Preparation time one minute; countdown begins: 59, 58..."
Time was up, and a large number of towering Savage Oxen once again appeared not far ahead of Wang Yi—a full two hundred miniature tank-like monsters, among which ten were even taller in size with fire-red horns.
"Moo~~" Amidst earth-shattering roars, the two hundred Savage Oxen charged toward Wang Yi together.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi also gripped his twin blades tightly, his gaze fixed intently on those 10 fire-red giant Savage Oxen at the very front.
"Kill these ten first!"
Wang Yi's thoughts moved like lightning, and the next moment, the two sides had already made contact!
Outside the Trial Space, Yang Hui waited below the entrance of the Trial Tower, and soon, he saw that the carved numbers on the black stone pillar belonging to Wang Yi at the main entrance of the entrance had changed.
The Trial Tower level changed from 1 to 1.3!
"So fast." Yang Hui was a bit surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face. It seems this kid has some tricks up his sleeve, actually passing the Grade A test so quickly.
"However, he probably only stops here. The Grade B test is not that easy to pass; there are many old-timers who entered the training camp a year ago and are still struggling on the First Layer." Although somewhat surprised by Wang Yi's clearance speed, Yang Hui still didn't expect Wang Yi to be able to clear the upcoming stages.
After all, in the original work, Luo Feng's body movement reached the Perfect Level, and he also mastered the Third Layer of the Ninefold Thunder Blade with a 2.8x force, which was why he luckily passed the Grade B test of the First Layer.
As for the information he had mastered, Wang Yi's strongest point was his physical fitness improvement speed, while his body movement seemed to be merely at the Subtle level.
Being able to clear the First Layer Grade A test was already quite remarkable.
Shortly after, Yang Hui saw the Trial Tower pillar carved with Wang Yi's name change from '1.3' to '1.6'!
"He really passed!" Yang Hui was somewhat taken aback.
According to his understanding of Wang Yi, it was almost impossible for him to pass the Grade B test.
This was also normal because during the review, Wang Yi hadn't displayed his true strength at all.
He raised his head to look at the tall Trial Tower. Since the Grade B test is passed, he should be coming out soon. Given the difficulty of the Grade C test, how could a newcomer possibly pass it?
Time ticked by second by second, and Yang Hui felt as if his neck was about to grow sore.
Yet Wang Yi still hadn't come out.
"...What the fuck!"
