Chapter 337: The Game for Training Spirit Energy and… Unwelcome Guests
The significance of the unmatched and undefeated trials becomes clear after just one experience.
It is a perfect trial ground to freely showcase power and engage in a battle of life and death, without worrying about any injuries. It is a miracle that promotes rapid growth.
The simulation game before them, though rough, indeed evolves in this direction.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Under Yun Ye’s control, the avatar took heavy steps, crossing their territory and entering the neutral forest.
The perspective was not a god’s eye view; it was derived from the avatar’s eyes, making it very narrow.
The other areas were not completely dark due to Spirit Sense, but they were much blurrier than what the eyes could see.
Generally speaking, controlling the avatar would consume most of one’s energy, making it hard to use nuanced Spirit Sense.
In this situation, discovering the enemy beforehand would give a significant advantage.
Yun Ye did not use Techniques like the Spiritual Eye or ground wave detection; instead, he charged directly into enemy territory.
"Since this is the first match, you want to go for a frontal battle? Too reckless. There won’t be any chance for trial and error on the battlefield; one wrong step and you’ll lose everything," Yang An’s voice rang out.
"Teacher, with nine avatars lined up in formation, they should be able to attack, right?"
Yun Ye raised his avatar’s hand, where earthy spirit energy gathered vigorously. He didn’t wait for Yang An’s response and slammed it into the ground—boom!
The earth split apart and crazily spread toward Yang An’s territory.
"…"
However, there was no response.
Yun Ye stepped in to check and found that all the avatars had vanished.
"A multitasking person can control multiple avatars at the same time, but the controlled avatars cannot be withdrawn; otherwise, they will directly dissipate."
Although Yang An said there were no rules, the greatest rule was the limitations of individual abilities.
An expert could control nine avatars simultaneously, but a beginner could only handle one, and even with superior spirit energy, they would still lose.
"Waiyang, hurry back! The teacher’s avatars have already breached your territory!"
Tian Jialun and the others quickly reminded him.
As expected, multiple figures dashed into the territory, but upon counting, there were only four, not nine.
"Although I can maintain nine avatars, in a precise battle, I can only control a maximum of four. So, Waiyang, do you want to give up one avatar and return directly?"
Yang An said with a smile, showing no mercy. A torrential downpour poured down, locking onto the positions of Yun Ye’s remaining eight avatars.
Immediately, numerous water dragons surged upwards like meteors and slammed down, ready to crush everything.
"If we lose, the teacher is too ruthless, using full strength like this. This isn’t even familiar!"
Tian Jialun lamented.
"Rather, it shows how much the teacher values Waiyang; otherwise, why would he use all his strength?"
Wu Xianzhang said, "Indeed, Waiyang should be able to control a few more avatars. I don’t know how long he can hold on."
Tang Si nodded.
She didn’t believe that Ming Waiyang would lose so easily.
Perhaps ordinary beings needed time to familiarize themselves and would struggle to control multiple avatars at once, but Ming Waiyang certainly did not belong to that group!
Bang.
An avatar from Yang An’s territory was directly cut off from its spirit energy by Yun Ye, vanishing into thin air.
Meanwhile, the eight avatars in Yun Ye’s territory began to stir.
"Buzz—"
The transparent avatars filled with color as multiple avatars revived, attempting to fully resist Yang An’s attack.
"Too late; you no longer have time to adjust," Yang An said.
Four water dragons sank down, smashing the entire simulated ground into hundreds of meters deep craters.
This destructive capacity could only be achieved with the Extreme Spirit Water Law. Even with defense, if it wasn’t at full power, the only outcome would be destruction.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang An sighed—
He had failed, unable to resolve the situation against Yun Ye in one go.
"Teacher, that was close; just a tiny bit more," Yun Ye’s voice echoed.
One by one, the avatars surged with violent spirit energy, gathering dust to form a strange rock spear that could combine and separate.
"Extreme Spirit Dual Attributes—Body Destruction."
The rock spear shot out, piercing towards one of Yang An’s avatars. The four avatars of Yang An quickly formed a formation, creating an unbreakable defense barrier. Even the elemental fusion that could destroy any form couldn’t break through, as it was completely offset by the immense spirit energy.
But immediately after, another avatar waved its hand, and gray expanded to freeze everything.
The double fusion of powers could indeed hold out for a while, utilizing the advantage of the formation.
But that was all.
As the formation shattered, the four avatars were instantly annihilated, almost without the strength to fight back.
"I thought I could rely on experience to suppress you, but I ended up losing in the first match. You truly are a rare genius," Yang An shrugged, realizing this outcome the moment the avatars weren’t defeated in the first instant. He felt no surprise.
Ming Waiyang possessed Water, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Roots simultaneously, and his Spiritual Roots completeness and spirit energy manipulation were outrageously high. In terms of individual strength, he had no chance against Yang An, who only had an ordinary Water Spiritual Root.
Additionally, the game designed to simulate actual combat could not limit innate conditions. Once overwhelming power was established, even the most intricate techniques and experience would mean nothing.
Otherwise, Tomorrow Society wouldn’t have chosen to guide the vast majority towards research while only training a few cultivators for combat. This is the rule of cultivation battles—quality over quantity.
"You’re overpraising me, Teacher. Everyone has different talents; this simulation battle is your talent. If it could be even more realistic, honing us into seasoned warriors would just be a matter of spirit energy consumption."
Yun Ye said, "It’s too difficult. It doesn’t feel completely real, and for battles where life and death are at stake, it offers no benefits."
Yang An shook his head.
Tomorrow Society also interrupted its research because it couldn’t find a practical approach.
Or rather, the costs were too high for the entire Tomorrow Society to bear.
"Getting familiar with combat in advance is still pretty good; it will help in some way. At the very least, it serves as a tool to train spirit energy control," Yun Ye said.
"In terms of honing spirit energy, this simulation game is indeed quite good. It allows people to fully immerse themselves in training without feeling bored. It’s still meaningful for me to improve it," Yang An agreed with this point alone.
For real combat experience, this sand table is of little use and even has flaws because the sand table can’t die, but reality can. If one trains with this for an extended period, they might struggle to distinguish between the real and the false, applying life-threatening strategies in real situations.
In the end, Yun Ye and the others left the office carrying the sand table.
Yang An specially granted them permission to use an activity room in advance. It was acceptable for a genius who could easily defeat him to receive this little favor.
"Waiyang, you actually mastered multiple Extreme Spirit Dual Attributes. That’s amazing! We haven’t even awakened our Spiritual Roots," one of them exclaimed.
"I heard that even among those with three attributes, many can’t master Extreme Spirit Dual Attributes," another chimed in.
Along the way, the three marveled at how quickly Ming Waiyang had won, truly overwhelming.
It opened their eyes to see such heights that geniuses could reach.
This kind of power was almost despairing; for an ordinary person, they would probably be too discouraged to keep chasing.
"Oh, what are you guys carrying? It looks interesting! Mind if I take a look?"
As Yun Ye and the others passed through the hallway, they ran into the spiky-haired Yong Fa, who immediately exclaimed in excitement.
His way of expressing emotions was like that of a child who saw a friend with snacks.
He felt an overwhelming urge to ask but was a bit shy, so he approached with, "Wow, what’s this?"
However, unlike typical kids, Yong Fa was always accompanied by his envious childhood friend, who immediately pressed him down to the ground as soon as he spoke.
"You should just keep quiet, you fool," Yang Yu said, her strength significantly greater thanks to her Life Force Awakening.
"You…!"
Yong Fa, whose face was pressed against the floor, twitched like a lifeless body, unable to get up for a long time.
"We’re moving the sand table for the simulation game to the activity room. If you want to know more, you can come along and sit with us," Yun Ye invited.
"A club? Waiyang, have you already established a club?"
Yang Yu lifted the lifeless Yong Fa and joined the group.
"We’ve secured the activity room first, and that makes our future tasks half as easy—Waiyang is too strong and can easily complete the assignments given by Teacher Yang."
Tang Si walked alongside Yang Yu, their friendship as girls was quite strong.
Everyone quickly arrived at the activity room.
What can I say?
It was spacious.
The lighting was also good.
The only problem was that someone was already in the activity room.
A boy with brilliant golden hair radiated intense vitality as he gazed at the sun by the window.
Upon hearing the door open, he didn’t even turn around but spoke coldly, "If I were you, I would leave this room immediately."
The group exchanged glances.
Did they come to the wrong place?
Yun Ye shook his head; they hadn’t made a mistake; this was indeed the activity room Yang An mentioned.
"Does this place already have a club? We are…"
Boom!
A scorching aura erupted explosively.
A wave of heat surged through the air, crashing directly toward everyone, causing the expressions of all six present to change dramatically. Yong Fa instantly snapped to attention, his Spiritual Eye shining brightly.
"Boom!"
Gray spirit energy sprang up in front, nullifying all the heat waves. It was Yun Ye who intervened to block everything.
He frowned and looked at the boy.
They were all cultivators; he couldn’t believe this boy didn’t realize they were just a group of inexperienced kids, yet he had attacked without warning?
"Who are you to be so arrogant, attacking us directly at school? If this gets reported, you will face severe punishment!" Yang Yu shouted after a brief moment of daze.
She had never encountered something like this before; if Yun Ye hadn’t intervened, they could have been seriously hurt. This was too outrageous!
"Hmph!"
The golden-haired boy did not respond to them. With a flick of his sleeve, a chilling killing intent burst out, as if a great sun had exploded, sending intense yang energy toward the group.
It seemed this person clearly disregarded the school’s rules; with someone backing him, he felt emboldened to act without restraint.
"Is the target me?"
Yun Ye sensed that he had been locked on. Earlier, this person had no aim other than to drive them away, but now he was focusing on him.
His gaze was filled with disdain, as if he could not tolerate the existence of another equally powerful genius.
