"That’s right, originally Lin Chen’s strength was sowhat lacking, and prematurely encountering that thing would be harmful rather than beneficial to him..."
"But now it seems, after reaching the Martial Master level, Lin Chen’s physical fitness has about reached the standard."
Wang Lishan’s face showed a smile; Lin Chen always brought him such great surprises.
"However, before that... Lin Chen, you should first go to the training room to test your precise physical fitness."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s mind began to harbor a certain suspicion.
Soon, at the Martial Arts Training Room.
Lin Chen tested his own physical fitness in front of the instrunt.
"Strength: 5080 kg... Peak speed: 51 ters per second!"
Undoubtedly, whether in strength or physical fitness, Lin Chen t the Martial Master level standard.
Wang Lishan looked at the data on the instrunt and finally smiled in relief.
"Not bad, whether it’s strength or speed... all et the standard."
Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, and he asked:
"Uncle Wang, can I see the thing you were talking about now?"
"Haha, don’t rush! Before that... we need to asure your neural response speed."
Wang Lishan led Lin Chen to a special instrunt.
"Neural response speed?"
Lin Chen was slightly puzzled.
"That’s right, regardless of the martial artist level, physical fitness is just the foundation; in addition, neural response and actual combat intelligence are also very important..."
Wang Lishan activated the instrunt and indicated for Lin Chen to sit on it.
"Imagine in a battle, a demon beast charges at you at high speed. Even if your physical fitness ets the standard, you would still get crushed if you don’t react in ti!"
"However, neural response speed is difficult to asure concretely and often varies by realm standards."
Wang Lishan adjusted the standard on the instrunt to Basic Level Martial Master.
"In a mont, you’ll enter a virtual space specifically for testing neural response... Do your best to evade all threats."
After speaking, Wang Lishan activated the switch.
Imdiately afterward, Lin Chen’s view transford.
Under Lin Chen’s perception, he was no longer in the training room but in a dense primal forest.
So realistic that even the scent of the grass and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves were utterly distinct.
"Is this the virtual space?"
Lin Chen’s eyes widened; this was his first encounter with such a novel thing.
"Chen, once the test begins, stones will shoot at you rapidly from all directions unpredictably, and you need to evade them as much as possible..."
Suddenly, Wang Lishan’s voice appeared in his ears, reassuring Lin Chen that he was still in the laboratory.
"Tsk, tsk, this virtual space is quite interesting!"
Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and he imdiately released his Divine Sense.
In an instant, the illusion-like virtual space was completely visible before Lin Chen’s eyes.
"With Divine Sense, one can see both this virtual space and reality..."
As he contemplated, a stone shot at him at 50 ters per second.
With his Divine Sense fully engaged, the speeding stone seed to slow down as if in slow motion, and he easily dodged it.
But this was just the beginning.
Then, more and more stones shot toward him.
One, ten, a hundred...
The speed also got increasingly fast!
From all directions, stones could co at any strange angle.
Dense and overwhelming, like a net from heaven and earth surrounding Lin Chen.
anwhile, Wang Lishan’s voice sounded in his ear.
"Chen, don’t let your guard down! They are just stones in the illusion realm now..."
"But on the battlefield, they’re enemies attacking from all directions!"
Lin Chen’s expression beca focused upon hearing, and he imdiately covered the surrounding area with his Divine Sense like a tidal wave.
"They seem cunning, with no possibility of evasion... but there’s a small gap between each stone, offering space to dodge!"
Lin Chen mused; in his Divine Sense’s detection, gaps seed to open among the stones from all directions.
Every ti stones were about to hit Lin Chen, he could quietly evade them.
Thus, ten minutes passed...
After evading the last stone, a voice suddenly announced the successful completion of the assessnt.
Imdiately, the virtual space disappeared, and he returned to the training room.
"How was it, did I perform reasonably well?"
Lin Chen turned back and asked with a smile.
However, what appeared before him were Wang Lishan, Wang Xinyu, and Li Nian, all looking at him as if he were a monster...
"Um, I just dodged them all... No need for such a reaction, right?"
Lin Chen scratched his head.
"Really insane..." Wang Xinyu blushed slightly.
"Is this a monster?" Li Nian’s eyes widened.
Even Wang Lishan was stunned and said:
"Lin Chen, how did you do that? Dodged them all!"
Lin Chen felt a bit guilty; he didn’t know if using Divine Sense counted as cheating.
"Uncle Wang, is it difficult to dodge them all?" he asked.
"Nonsense! I’m not exaggerating... Currently, there’s no one in the entire Great Xia Country capable of getting a perfect score in neural response speed!"
Wang Lishan’s voice was quite loud, and after a while, he added:
"Except for you, kid..."
Actually, this was easy to imagine.
Because neural response speed tests the responses within the sa realm.
For example, a Martial Artist Realm, regardless of how quickly they react, couldn’t pass a Martial Master level test.
Similarly, even Martial Venerable or Martial King, when facing such all-encompassing attacks, couldn’t completely evade...
Of course, if outside the battlefield’s coverage, that’s a different story.
"Uh, actually I just used the power of a cultivator’s Divine Sense..."
Lin Chen had ntioned Divine Sense before, but it seems even Wang Lishan didn’t expect it to have such an application.
After hearing about the function of Divine Sense, Wang Xinyu was amazed like a Celestial Being.
Whereas Wang Lishan rubbed his chin and asked:
"Then, if... all martial artists had Divine Sense, wouldn’t they no longer be afraid of enemy attacks within the Divine Sense range?"
"Not necessarily. Divine Sense simply allows one to detect the source of the attack in advance; if the reaction is too slow, it still wouldn’t work..."
Lin Chen shook his head.
Besides the enhancent of Divine Sense, his own neural response was also at an extrely high level.
However, in such close combat, Divine Sense indeed had cheat-like effects.
In the Cultivation Realm, most cultivators are attacked in close combat because their physical fitness is insufficient to dodge, though Divine Sense detected it in advance.
Of course, those who can block Divine Sense or use special techniques are excluded.
Yet, even so, the ergence of Divine Sense represents a huge shift in the battle system of Great Xia’s Martial Path!
Wang Lishan quickly realized this.
His eyes were practically shining at this mont.
"Then, if every martial artist had Divine Sense... doesn’t this an that in battles with demon beasts, casualties would be greatly reduced?"
"Strictly speaking, that’s indeed the case!"
Lin Chen replied.
Thus, Wang Lishan made several calls, preparing to quickly establish a research team focusing on Divine Sense.
The first batch of cultivators trained by Great Xia Country had reached the Second Layer of Qi Refining.
But undoubtedly, they were still far from externalizing Divine Sense.
Lin Chen then provided a thousand Spirit Stones and a hundred purchased Spirit Testing Stones to Wang Lishan.
With this batch of resources, the country could rapidly nurture over a hundred Wood Spirit Root cultivators.
The urgent task now was still cultivating Spirit Companion Grass and various Spiritual dicines.
After Wang Lishan finished handling matters, Lin Chen could no longer hold back from asking:
"Uncle Wang, the thing you ntioned..."
With the surprise brought by Divine Sense, Wang Lishan almost forgot about this.
He no longer kept it a secret, taking out a thumb-sized piece of flesh from the Nanobag and handing it over.
This piece of flesh wasn’t ordinary; although it was blood-red, it carried a faint golden hue.
It seed to be covered with a layer of golden light, resembling a finely crafted treasure.
"This is... Demon Beast flesh!"
