137: C137 Virtual Combat Depends on One's Potential

C137 Virtual Combat Depends on One's Potential

The Virtual Trials Tower was actually one of the important resources of the Jiangnan Martial Arts University, but Lu Chong had never tried it before.

This was because he felt that this kind of virtual platform was not suitable for his own cultivation. It was far less efficient than cultivating in Energy Chamber or going to the wilderness for combat.

"I didn't see your record in the Virtual Trials Tower, but I don't think it will help you much, right?"

After leaving Energy Chamber, Vice-president Zhou asked curiously.

Lu Chong answered honestly, "Time is tight. I just hope to use it in cultivation and actual combat."

Vice-president Zhou nodded and said, "You are right to think that way."

"Although virtual space can simulate combat and even practice, and provide data and analysis to a certain extent, it does not have much effect on improving one's strength."

"Therefore, to the Martial Cultivator, we do not recommend indulging in it. However, it is still very useful to collect data and verify one's strength."

Lu Chong nodded as if he had understood something. Although he had never tried it before, he had heard of the Virtual Trials Tower before.

Without waiting for him to think, the two of them had already arrived at the location of the Virtual Trials Tower.

This was a crystal tower that was a hundred meters tall. It was filled with the feeling of modern technology.

Vice-president Zhou personally led the way, and the two of them were unimpeded as they arrived at the end of a corridor on the third floor.

On both sides of this long corridor, there was a heavy mechanical cabin door every three meters.

"After you enter, just follow the instructions and cooperate. Relax and don't resist." Vice-president Zhou reminded.

"Don't worry. This place is absolutely safe. Nothing will happen."

Lu Chong did not doubt the school's security measures. He just felt that it was a little strange.

Opening the cabin door, Lu Chong stepped inside. The cabin door behind him closed on its own.

This was a room that was less than ten square meters. The layout was simple, and the most conspicuous one was a mechanical chair.

"Welcome student Lu Chong. Your identity has been verified. Please take a seat and accept the information collection from virtual space." A gender-neutral robotic voice was heard.

Lu Chong followed the order and sat on the chair.

Then, he followed the order and placed his hands and feet at the designated position.

A translucent helmet fell from the top of his head and gently covered his head.

The backrest and the handrails on both sides automatically shrunk and corrected themselves, closely sticking to Lu Chong's body.

Immediately after, Lu Chong felt a very faint electric current flowing through his entire body from head to toe.

"Information gathering complete. Welcome to virtual space."

That voice sounded again. Immediately after, Lu Chong felt his mind shake and his mind was in chaos.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Chong found that he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment.

In front of him was an empty hall. There was no one around, and it was so quiet that it made people panic.

Lu Chong was not in a hurry. Instead, he carefully checked his condition.

When he saw this, Lu Chong could not help but click his tongue in wonder.

It was a completely different concept from experiencing it personally.

"Gather my information and then replicate the real me into a virtual world?"

This reminded Lu Chong of a new concept that was proposed in his previous life.

Now it seemed that it had been realized here.

His body, spirit, and even the techniques and martial arts that he had mastered could be completely restored here.

Lu Chong even used his hand to cut his finger and found that even the pain was 100% restored, and there was no difference in the state of bleeding.

"A 100% simulation of virtual space can actually be done."

Lu Chong roughly understood the meaning of this Virtual Trials Tower. It was to simulate reality to achieve the goal of the trial.

Because in this place, he could also use all of his strength, and he would also die.

And the opponents he had to face were also like this.

Then, he could set the opponent he needed and give it his all.

Even if he died here, it wouldn't cause any harm to himself in reality. At most, it would just be a bit taxing on his mind.

While thinking, a young woman suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chong. She looked perfect and flawless, but her beauty was also somewhat unreal.

"Hello, student Lu Chong. Please confirm your request to enter the Virtual Trials Tower this time." The woman spoke in a pleasant voice. She did not have any human emotions.

Lu Chong completely calmed down and replied, "I want to pass the battle with the mutated beast to test the upper limit of my combat strength."

The virtual beauty did not hesitate and said, "No problem. May I ask the battle scene, the type, level, and quantity of the mutated beast, how to choose?"

Lu Chong thought for a moment and said, "In the wilderness plains, one on one, let's start with the early Level 4 Storm Strength Apes."

"Alright, the scene is changing. Please prepare yourself, student Lu Chong."

Lu Chong exhaled. In the next second, the environment around him changed again.

In front of him was an endless grassland. A hundred meters in front of him, there was a five meter tall Storm Strength Ape staring at him.

An Early Level 4 Storm Strength Ape's strength was comparable to an ordinary Level 1 Martial Grandmaster.

Lu Chong felt that this Storm Strength Ape was extremely real. Perhaps it was created through a special method of gathering information.

Roar!

Without waiting for him to think further, the Storm Strength Ape let out a furious roar and charged forward.

"I'll start with you and test my current strength."

Lu Chong was bare-handed. A hole appeared under his feet, and his figure had already appeared ten meters away. He faced the Early Level 4 Storm Strength Apes head on.

In the main control room of the Virtual Trials Tower, Old President Zheng, Vice-president Zhou, and Prof. Xu had all arrived. They brought out the battle scene of Lu Chong and watched it carefully.

"Little Xu, how far do you think he can go?" Old President Zheng glanced at Prof. Xu who was watching the battle nervously.

Prof. Xu hesitated and said, "To be honest, I can't figure it out either."

"Lu Chong's improvement has been too fast since he entered the school. I have never been able to figure out his bottom line."

"After consuming the Beast King's Heart Blood this time, his strength has once again improved by leaps and bounds, making it even more difficult to see clearly."2

Vice-president Zhou echoed from the side, "It is indeed very difficult to see through this kid."

"Furthermore, this is a virtual battle after all. At most, we can only see a rough outline."

"When a person is facing a real life and death battle, the strength that he can unleash is not something that can be simulated."

"Some people will perform better than in a virtual battle, but there will also be some who will not be able to satisfy their expectations in real danger."

Old President Zheng nodded, "That's not a problem. A real battle will always be more soul-stirring than a battle in virtual space."

"The environment, experience, will, performance and even personal status are the key to deciding the outcome of the battle."

"But at least we can see some of the potential of the little guy here."

Prof. Xu stared at the screen and said, "Teacher is right. Moreover, this year's National Martial Arts Competition will be held in the virtual wilderness, so he can get used to it in advance."
