This is a boundless, silvery expanse of land, dotted with countless stars in the sky. Further away, a sky ablaze with colorful rays of light, resembling the Aurora at the Earth's poles, both gentle and magnificent.
Two figures appeared on the ground, one after the other; they were Zhang Junbao and Yang Hui.
"How amazing! Is this virtual space? It can realistically simulate sight, touch, and smell. It's truly different." Zhang Junbao looked around. The sky in this virtual space was actually the cosmic starry sky. Thousands of stars in the boundless night sky made the entire silver earth reflect a dreamlike light.
The scenery is only one aspect; more importantly, it's the incredibly realistic sense of immersion. If you weren't specifically told that this is a virtual world, you might think you've actually arrived in another world.
"This silvery earth? It's as smooth as a mirror."
Zhang Junbao squatted down and tapped the ground with his fingers, producing a metallic clanging sound that felt very realistic.
" Junbao, in this Trial Tower virtual space, the sky is a starry sky, and the ground is silver earth. This silver earth is made of an alloy-like material!" Yang Hui smiled and pointed into the distance, "And the only building you can see in the entire virtual space is that seven-story Trial Tower in the distance! It's also where you will be tested."
Indeed, looking around in all directions.
There's only one building!
About three or four hundred meters away, there is a huge tower that soars into the clouds. The entire tower is covered with images and carvings of all kinds of monsters, surrounding the entire pagoda. With the naked eye, one can vaguely make out that this tall tower has seven stories.
In virtual space, any scene can be designed at will, but such an extremely realistic simulation is not so easy to achieve. No wonder it is said that human scientists still cannot create a virtual machine.
Next, Zhang Junbao tested his hands and feet, only to find that he could not use his Spiritual Force, and his physical strength was not the same as before.
"Hehe, you've noticed something's off too, haven't you? This is a virtual space. Only our consciousness has entered; our bodies, weapons, and everything else can't possibly get in."
Is it not just vision, but also consciousness?
How did they manage that? Is it possible to cover Wilderness Zone?
"If we could instantly pull the consciousness of monsters into the virtual world during a battle, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for us to deal with a mindless body?"
Zhang Junbao instantly realized another use for this device. If feasible, wouldn't this be artificially creating a branch of Spirit Reader — the Illusionist?
"Um... scientists have indeed proposed this idea, but unfortunately, it still relies on Consciousness Sensor to connect with the brain, so it's impossible to pull people into virtual space remotely. And during battle, we can't put helmets on monsters, and we also have to ensure they don't damage the helmets."
"That's a real shame," Zhang Junbao sighed.
"Perhaps it will be possible when human technology advances to a higher level. We are currently in this virtual space, and our bodies are virtual bodies provided to us by this virtual space. And the physical attributes of these virtual bodies are all the same," Yang Hui explained.
"The same?" Zhang Junbao smiled slightly, looking at Yang Hui with a hint of malice.
Yang Hui had been watching the whole thing when ' Iron Hand ' had ravaged him. If their physical abilities were the same, Zhang Junbao wouldn't be afraid of ' Iron Hand ' at all. If he ever had the chance to drag ' Iron Hand ' into the virtual space, he'd see how he could rub him into the ground.
Yang Hui felt a little uneasy under Zhang Junbao's gaze. Although he didn't know what Zhang Junbao was thinking, he had a feeling that it wasn't anything good.
He continued, "Whether it's Wargod, someone who Beyond War God, or just an ordinary martial artist, or even just an ordinary person..."
Once consciousness enters, they will all possess a body with the same physical attributes—normal punching power of 10,000 kilograms, speed of 150 meters per second, and nerve reaction speed of superior -Elementary Warlord Level.
"Are all people the same?"
"Yes, because in virtual space, everyone's physical attributes are the same. Even if the 'Master Hong' enters virtual space, he will still have the same body. This makes it easy to test a person's true combat ability."
Yang Hui looked at Zhang Junbao and said, "You'll come with me now to the Trial Tower for the assessment."
Zhang Junbao wanted to try other things, but Yang Hui didn't give him the chance and went straight to the Trial Tower.
Even if everyone has the same physical abilities in a virtual space, so what? A master is still a master. Whether it's combat skills, combat awareness, or combat strategy, these things cannot be measured by physical abilities alone.
This explains why, even when both sides are using the same hero in the same game, a skilled player can still easily defeat a novice.
When to attack, how to strike, and what abilities to use—these are all things accumulated through combat experience. And combat happens in a mere instant; the true test of skill lies in dealing maximum damage within that short timeframe.
The two arrived at the Trial Tower. In front of the towering Trial Tower, there stood a stone pillar with a relief-like carving that read:
Name: Zhang Junbao
Gender: Male
Identity: Elite Training Camp Prospective Student
Trial Tower Level: 1
Zhang Junbao turned to look at another stone pillar beside him, which also displayed relief carvings.
Name: Yang Hui
Gender: Male
Identity: Wargod
Trial Tower Level: 32
Zhang Junbao had already realized that his trial level was 1, while Yang Hui's Trial Tower level was 32.
" Junbao, are you curious about the levels of the Trial Tower?" Yang Hui smiled and said, "Just like you and me, we use the same body, and then enter the Trial Tower step by step. After passing the first level, we directly enter the second level."
At this point, your Trial Tower level is 20. Once you reach the third level, your Trial Tower level will be 30. When you're exploring the third level, your level could be 31, 32, 33, or even higher. Since you haven't explored yet, your level is currently only 1, meaning you haven't achieved anything on the first level of the Trial Tower.
"So your 32 means you've completed 20 progress points on the third level?"
Zhang Junbao asked.
"That's right, you understand very quickly."
The Trial Tower has seven floors, and so far no one has reached the seventh floor!
"Not a single one?" Zhang Junbao asked.
Where is Hong, Earth's strongest being? And Thunder God, the second strongest?
"Yes, not a single one. The world's strongest, 'Hong,' has already reached the sixth level, making him the strongest in the world." Yang Hui shook his head and sighed, "That's the difference. Even if we use the same body as the Master, I can only reach the third level, while the Master has reached the sixth!"
Zhang Junbao was somewhat excited. It seemed that the gap between everyone wasn't that big. This Trial Tower was clearly similar to the Trial Tower for the future Genius Battle. During the Genius Battle, there were seven Trial Tower, and this one was probably comparable to the first one in the Genius Battle. He hadn't expected that Hong and the others hadn't broken through to this level yet.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Trial Tower of the Genius Battle only appeared at the very last moment. At that time, Hong and Thunder God didn't even have the qualifications to enter it. Now, being able to reach the sixth floor is already quite remarkable.
