Overall, as some of the finest geniuses on the continent today, the people from the various academies all had considerable research value.
Among them, Huo Wu had the greatest research value, followed by Shui Bing'er. Feng Xiaotian, a top-tier genius by conventional standards, could only rank third.
As for Elephant Armor Academy and Thunder Academy, they had to settle for fourth and fifth place.
The Diamond Mammoth simply had high raw attributes, with no special mechanics. Training it meant working oneself to death, continually increasing attack and defense. That alone would put one on the right path.
Thunder Academy, meanwhile, currently had no Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon members, and Chen Ming had already studied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon long ago anyway. Thus, it could only be considered a tagalong.
Chen Ming now had a great deal of theoretical research data in his head, along with theoretical concepts, cultivation methods, and techniques. But no matter the theory, putting it into practice inevitably introduced some discrepancies. The more intricate the details, the more likely an enormous gap between theory and reality became.
It was like forecasting the weather: calculating to six decimal places and calculating to nine decimal places produced entirely different levels of accuracy.
Chen Ming had to conduct experiments, turning theory into reality through step-by-step trial and error. And even when conducting experiments, high-quality and low-quality test subjects offered different levels of value.
In Chen Ming's eyes, the young generation of genius spirit masters qualified as exceptionally good test subjects. They would primarily be used to study cultivation methods related to the soul void.
For other specialized areas, however, Chen Ming needed other people to serve as test subjects.
Of course, Chen Ming still had a conscience. Even if these experiments failed, they would not cost anyone their life
