B-level Trial Passed!

Based on Vinina's earlier understanding of Battle Intent Power, it was similar to Mental Power. Mental Power was also explained in Swallowed Star: "Consciousness is the commander, intent is the soldier." The two seemed to be one whole, but in reality, each had its own role, which was why the Virtual Universe could separate them.

But now, it seemed that was not quite the case.

Vinina shook her head slightly and stopped dwelling on it. Matters of the soul were far too profound. Not to mention her—even Zuo Shanke, the reincarnation of a God King, might not be able to fully understand them.

"Student Vinina Polenas, please select your combat uniform and weapon. Once your selection is complete, enter the Trial Tower within one minute to undergo the B-level Trial."

A mechanical voice suddenly rang out, echoing through the entire virtual space.

Then, all kinds of weapons and combat uniforms appeared before Vinina.

Vinina selected a properly sized combat uniform, then chose a Dragon Roar Battle Spear. After she confirmed her choices, the uniform and spear immediately appeared on the ground.

She quickly put them on.

"Vinina Polenas, I wish you success in passing the trial."

"Mm."

Vinina nodded slightly, then walked straight into the entrance of the seven-story Trial Tower.

Whoosh!

Space shifted. When Vinina opened her eyes again, she found herself on a vast green plain.

The mission details of the B-level Trial echoed across the plain:

"Vinina Polenas, kill the 100 Primary Beast General level Barbarian Bulls surrounding you within 30 minutes! Death during the trial counts as failure! Killing fewer than 100 Barbarian Bulls after 30 minutes also counts as failure! This is your first time entering the Trial Tower, so you have five minutes to prepare."

Vinina nodded slightly. "Start immediately."

"Confirm forfeiting the preparation time and starting immediately?"

"Confirmed!"

Vinina nodded.

Killing 100 Primary Beast General level Barbarian Bulls in 30 minutes was indeed extremely difficult. For ordinary Martial Artists, it was almost impossible.

After all, each Barbarian Bull was not much weaker than Vinina in either strength or speed. Yet there were a full hundred of them. Facing one hundred alone, one careless mistake could cost her life on the spot.

This was also why the Elite Training Camp could be called a preparatory camp for War Gods.

Anyone who could pass a selection process of this level had to be a genius, didn't they?

"The B-level Trial begins."

The electronic voice sounded again. At the same time, on the grassland roughly three hundred meters directly in front of Vinina, one hulking bovine monster after another began to appear. Each stood nearly three meters tall.

At a glance, their long fur, sharp curved horns, and reddish eyes all seemed to carry a faint bloody hue!

Barbarian Bulls!

"Moo!"

The bulls' roars resounded across the plain. Looking at the herd in the distance, Vinina raised her spear. Her gaze was sharp, and surging battle intent radiated from her entire body.

Fear?

Retreat?

Not in the slightest!

In reality, she had dared to fight a Primary Beast General level Blood-Stained Black Wolf to the death before reaching Battle General level. Now, in this virtual space, her physical attributes were even better than in reality, and she had battle intent enhancing her. How could she possibly feel afraid?

"Come!"

She murmured softly. Feeling the tremors beneath her feet caused by the hundred Barbarian Bulls trampling the grass with their hooves, Vinina stepped forward and charged fiercely with her spear raised.

The mere three hundred meters vanished in the blink of an eye as the Primary Beast General level Barbarian Bull herd, moving at over one hundred meters per second, and Vinina, moving at one hundred and fifty meters per second, rushed toward each other. They collided in an instant, and the herd engulfed Vinina like a wave!

But as her spear danced, Vinina quickly burst through them. The first level of Annihilation plus the enhancement of battle intent unleashed nearly triple her strength. With a force of a full 26,000 kilograms, piercing through the Barbarian Bulls' hides and driving into their flesh was effortless.

She handled them with ease!

Of course, that was only because they were Barbarian Bulls. If they had been Shadow Cats, Vinina would have been in real trouble.

After all, the Barbarian Bulls' size was there for all to see. From afar, each one looked like a heavy-duty car. While that gave them defenses far surpassing those of ordinary monsters, it also doomed them to disadvantages in reaction speed and agility. Moreover, they were attacking as a group, so only a few could truly attack Vinina at any given moment.

That allowed Vinina to use the Barbarian Bulls' own bodies as obstacles and maneuver through the gaps among them.

Throughout the process, the advantage of the spear became apparent. Its longer attack range compared to a saber also made Vinina's evasions far more composed.

One bull, two bulls, three bulls.

Dangerous situations arose repeatedly along the way. For instance, when she failed to evade in time, several Barbarian Bulls instantly formed an encirclement. With their strength, even if the tips of their horns could not pierce her combat uniform, the terrifying impact alone could break Vinina's bones, make her internal organs bleed, or even directly rob her of her ability to fight.

Vinina could only use her arm to block. After paying the price of a broken left arm, she escaped the Barbarian Bulls' encirclement in a sorry state, then continued slaughtering them.

When choosing between two evils, one chose the lesser. That was all there was to it.

And throughout this process, Vinina continued improving. At first, she needed to push her mind to its limit to think through every move. By the end, she could use the corpses of every Barbarian Bull, even parts of those corpses, almost instinctively.

However, by the time she reached that point, only a few Barbarian Bulls remained on the vast grassland.

Her spear whirled, its tip piercing through the final Barbarian Bull's skull. As she pulled it free and blood mist sprayed into the air, the mechanical voice rang out:

"Time used: 16 minutes and 27 seconds. All 100 Barbarian Bulls have been killed. B-level Trial passed!"

"Congratulations, student Vinina Polenas."

"That's it?"

Vinina planted her spear into the ground and looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with lingering dissatisfaction.

Give me more.

She had a feeling that if that sensation had lasted a little longer, the movement technique she cultivated could have naturally entered the "Subtle" level.

In truth, her earlier performance could already be considered "Subtle level." After all, that level referred to being able to control one's strength and body with extreme precision, using the smallest cost to execute the most exquisite evasions. Vinina could do that with battle intent. But if her body itself could reach that level, then with the aid of battle intent, could she step into the "Perfect" level?

That was, controlling the surrounding environment and using any object around her to execute the most precise evasions through perfect utilization.

Thinking of this, Vinina could not help feeling somewhat helpless.

But after only a moment, she stopped dwelling on it.

After all, although relying on battle intent to maintain a "Subtle level movement technique" was considered external aid, if she maintained it long enough, she would naturally enter that level on her own eventually. There was no need to agonize over something that had already passed.

At the same time, the mechanical voice echoed across the grassland:

"Student Vinina Polenas, you will automatically leave the virtual space in five seconds. Please prepare yourself."
