This step couldn't be avoided. Kadin's sword strike had actually left a great impression and inspiration on Wang Zhong. Some time ago, he had been consolidating his Soul Sea and trying to stack his Soul Power, but the results weren't very good.
His current limit of Soul Power was about 11,000, but it was very difficult to stack it to 12,000. Comparing the data, he wasn't even as good as Kadin. Kadin's attack was definitely well-trained.
His control of Soul Power could be said to be at the historical level, but it was a kind of microscopic control. When it came to stacking Soul Power on a macroscopic level, such meticulous control wouldn't be of much help.
He was thinking of countermeasures. At first, he just wanted to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses as much as possible. He wanted to display his advantage in micro-control of Soul Power and use the effect of the rune on the operation of his internal Soul Power, so that his Soul Power would form a runic array the moment he attacked. This would increase the power, and the effect would definitely be stronger than ordinary stacking. However, this was a little too naive. The control of Soul Power inside and outside the body were completely different things.
The engravings of runes basically contained 'arcs', and the Soul Sea could be seen as a vacuum and weightless state. The maximum speed of Soul Power could reach the speed of light, so it was more realistic to convert it into a straight line. Arcs were as difficult as ascending to the heavens. In other words, it was impossible to form runes in the Soul Sea.
In other words, he had to change his way of thinking and find a way to replace traditional runes while achieving the effect of runes and using them in the Soul Sea.
It sounded simple, but in fact, runes were the foundation of the Holy Land. The Federation had also been passed down from the Holy Land for hundreds of years. Furthermore, runes were ready-made from the very beginning. They might have been left behind by a civilization in the Dimension. It was said that even the Holy Saint Teacher was at most a 'translator'. It was simply impossible to change his way of thinking.
Wang Zhong once felt that he had reached a dead end in this aspect and couldn't find a way out. However, Wang Zhong had an advantage. As long as he was certain that it was right, he wouldn't doubt it and wouldn't hesitate. He would use various methods in the right direction. Ever since he was young, Wang Zhong's logical thinking had always been very clear. He could maintain calmness and confidence in his cultivation. In the end, he still found his own way.
Soul Power Circuit!
That's what he called it.
Wang Zhong had never believed that authority was the truth. Furthermore, everything was possible in his Soul Sea. Everything could be changed, and only the most suitable thing was the best. Wang Zhong understood the theories of the old civilization. In the old civilization, there was a mainstream concept, which was' code ',' two-dimensional language ', and' conversion '. Therefore, he could definitely find alternative runes in his Soul Sea, but they could achieve the same effect. They were faster and more convenient, similar to the computer language of the old civilization.
Simba's words had given Wang Zhong a worldview that was completely different from the people of this era. The people of this era were revered and insignificant, but in the old civilization, humans were the masters of the world. Humans were invincible, and innovation and breakthroughs were as normal as breathing.
Because of this, Wang Zhong discovered that the straight and polygonal lines formed by his Soul Power in his Soul Sea could achieve the same effect as a rune under certain circumstances. It was just that the lines needed to be faster, more complex, and more concentrated. However, as the straight and polygonal lines were more concise and clear, they appeared to be more complicated, but in reality, they were much faster. Furthermore, they didn't need to be as spiritual as runes.
When he thought of this, Wang Zhong woke up. Simply put, it was like a circuit board. What Wang Zhong needed to do was to constantly verify the effects of the combination.
However, Wang Zhong's train of thought was very clear. Regardless of whether it was the external arc runes or the internal straight circuits, they were all composed of basic elements. The complex circuits were just superimposed combinations of basic circuits. As long as he understood the 'basic language' of the circuits, it would be considered a success. When he thought of this, Wang Zhong woke up.
Training in the desert was happy for Wang Zhong. It was quiet and peaceful, and there would be no disturbances. Sister Hong and Gong Yi helped him with some trivial matters in life, which allowed him to be more focused and forget about himself. He was so happy that he forgot about his duties.
Just like that, time passed day by day. The problem of the Soul Power Circuit had not been completely solved, but the day of the rank-advancement competition had quietly arrived …
… …
There were two rather important days in the Holy City. The first was the Holy Birth Day, the birthday of the Holy Saint Teacher Adalia, which was near the end of every year.
The other day was the Holy Death Day, which was also related to the Holy Saint Teacher Adalia. It was the day when the Holy Saint Teacher disappeared from the Holy City, which happened during the mid-summer solstice.
The first day was a grand festival, while the second day was similar to a national mourning. On one hand, it was to commemorate the Holy Saint Teacher Adalia, and on the other hand, it was to guard against the dangers of the Dimensional World. Every year, about ten days before and after the Holy Death Day, the Holy City would stop all celebratory activities. Weddings and the like were not allowed. If someone really had a happy event, they could secretly eat a good meal at home, but it would be their fault if they jumped out to the streets to celebrate.
At the same time, these ten days were also the key days for the selection and assessment of the various main and secondary professions in the Holy City. It was also a sign that people would work tirelessly to follow in the footsteps of the Holy Saint Teacher Adalia.
Holy Disciples who wanted to be promoted to Teachers, Teachers who had already passed the Heavenly Soul Stage who wanted to become Great Teachers, and even those who wanted to be promoted to Masters or Grandmasters in various secondary professions. If they followed the normal procedures, they would almost all be able to complete these ten days. During this period of time, many legendary big shots in the Holy City might appear. Of course, that was the business of the big shots. Compared to the small shots, for example, the newcomers this year would also have the opportunity to be promoted to Holy Disciple in these ten days.
As early as half a month before the Holy Death Day, the newcomers were already actively preparing for everything related to the rank-advancement competition.
It was a pity that the content of the Holy Disciple assessment was decided by the Teachers in charge every year. Although the assessment was always the same, there were always variables. Thus, there were all kinds of rumors about the assessment. Now, there were basically only two things that could be confirmed.
First, if someone reached the Peak Heroic Soul Stage within these six months, they could be promoted directly after being confirmed by the Teachers. This had always been the tradition of the Holy Disciple rank-advancement competition. Although it was only a matter of time for most Heroic Souls, there was no doubt that those who could reach the Peak Heroic Soul Stage within six months had a high chance of becoming strong. Of course, in recent years, this situation had been 'falsified'. Some had been eliminated, while others had been retained.
It all depended on whether one could convince the Teachers. The second thing that could be confirmed was that one could be promoted directly to Holy Disciple after being assessed by the Teachers. This was also a tradition. The strength of the Holy City did not only come from its military strength, but also from the three major professions — alchemy, wards masters, and gourmets. Not only newcomers, but anyone who could obtain the title of an official apprentice in these three major professions could immediately be promoted to Holy Disciple. Furthermore, the scope of this promotion was even wider. It was not only limited to newcomers but also extended to all the residents of the Holy City. This was also one of the most desired paths for Heroic Soul soldiers who 'worked' in the Holy City.
It was still unclear whether one could reach the Peak Heroic Soul Stage. There seemed to be a few good newcomers in this batch, such as Carolyn and the others, who had always been in the first echelon of cultivation. However, there were no rumors that they had reached the Peak Heroic Soul Stage, let alone the others.
Although the overall strength of this batch was not bad in recent years, it was not easy to produce top experts who could reach the Peak Heroic Soul Stage within six months. Most of the newcomers in the first echelon of cultivation had just advanced to the Intermediate Heroic Soul Stage, around 5,000 to 8,000 Grassos. The weaker ones were still struggling to break through to the Intermediate Heroic Soul Stage.
The official assessment rules had not been announced yet, so there was no way to guess. This made more people focus on the second path, which was the Deputy Professional Title examination.
It was just an apprentice, so it did not seem to be a big deal. Many newcomers had their eyes on this path, especially those who had spent more time and energy on their Deputy Professional Title in the past six months. Their eyes were burning with eagerness. They could use what they had learned in the past six months for today. However, it was obvious that if this group of people thought that the 'Deputy Professional Title Apprentice' was easy to take, they were gravely mistaken. In fact, in previous years, the number of newcomers who could pass the Deputy Professional Title examination was much lower than the number of people who passed the rank-advancement competition.
The Holy City suddenly became extremely busy. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of this day with all their might.
All kinds of rumors and gossip were flying around in the past few days. While the newcomers were paying attention to the contents of the examination, they would obviously do all kinds of detailed research on their competitors. However, the results of their research made many people very depressed. They had been in the Holy City for half a year and had more or less established their own channels. Although they could not find out about the contents of this year's examination, they could at least find out about the habits of the previous years.
If the overall strength of a batch of newcomers was slightly weaker, the difficulty of the examination would be relatively lower to ensure a basic number of new blood every year. However, if the overall strength of a batch of newcomers was very strong, the difficulty of the examination would be relatively higher. This was a very flexible threshold. The Holy City only needed to ensure that there was a fixed number of new blood every year to maintain and balance the number of Holy City powerhouses who were lost in battles. As for some small details or fairness, or even the so-called newcomers and Holy Disciples, they were relatively indifferent. In other words, the higher-ups would not pay attention to the details of this class.
What made most newcomers despair was that after a little understanding, although there were no particularly amazing super geniuses among this batch of newcomers who had attracted the attention of the Holy City's higher-ups, their overall strength was not weak.
There was no need to mention Scarlet, Carolyn, and Solomon, who were already at the top of the newcomers. The Personal Disciples of the Great Teachers were also guaranteed entry into the Holy Land every year, unless the Great Teacher gave up. Of course, such a situation rarely happened in the history of the Holy Land. Existences at the top of the food chain generally had good judgment.
Hyde Alexander, who was the most famous among the dimensional humans, also seemed to have a guaranteed spot. There was already news from the Tyrants that his Observer, the Great Teacher, had only gone out previously and would rush back to accept him as a Personal Disciple before the Holy Disciple rank-advancement competition. This was not a matter of strength, but to show his identity and status. At the same time, it was also a kind of favor from his Master to deepen their relationship.
There was also news that second-class apprentices like Grai, Napier, and Vladimir had been approached by Great Teachers. Of course, this group of people actually didn't care whether they could be exempted from the test or not. If even they couldn't pass the normal Holy Disciple test, it would be a huge upset.
What caught people's attention were the other three guys who suddenly rose to prominence before the rank-advancement competition. After all, Gui Hao was recognized as a genius before entering the Holy City. Although he courted death along the way, he still managed to survive under the protection of his family. It was said that his Soul Power had reached about 7,000 Grassos, and he was at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage. He was definitely in the top echelon of cultivation echelons.
Tianqiong Musk, who used to be one of the top 10 experts of the CHF, had been hiding after being defeated by Mario. However, he suddenly appeared recently, as if he had had some fortuitous encounter. He frequently showed his face and even joined one of the top 10 exploration teams, the Imperial Court. However, being able to enter one of the top 10 exploration teams already represented absolute strength, and he suddenly became very popular among the newcomers.
The last one was Divian. She had been hiding after entering the Holy City. The power of the Seer Family in the Holy City obviously couldn't be compared to that of Musk, who had an 8-star Great Teacher and a private territory. They also didn't have a particularly powerful backer, but they had a lot of people. The Seer Family had the largest number of Holy Disciples among the big families in the Holy City, and they also had one or two Great Teachers. The family didn't lack some basic resources in the Holy City, which also gave Divian a platform to start on. Although she joined the Sparta Clan after entering the Holy City, she basically didn't do anything for the past six months. She just focused on improving her Soul Power with the help of the family's resources. It was rumored that Divian's Soul Power was the strongest among the newcomers. In terms of Soul Power, she was even stronger than Carolyn … Now, she had come out of seclusion for the rank-advancement competition. It was said that she was most likely to reach the Peak Heroic Soul Stage.
There were also Grai, Napier, Gui Xinying, Lola, Bobo Torres, and a bunch of other experts who had shown their talents in the CHF. Their cultivation speed wasn't slow, and their overall level was very high, further widening the gap between them and the people below them …
Of course, this wasn't the most depressing thing about this batch of newcomers. The number of people admitted this year would definitely increase, as there were many more mature soldiers from the Empire, all of whom were at the Heroic Soul Stage. Frankly speaking, the saying "freaks come from poor mountains and rivers" referred to the Empire, as well as the dimensional humans and Federation soldiers. This time, the competition was extremely intense. It was said that the enthusiasm of the various Federation base stations in the Fifth Dimension to sign up was astonishing. Before coming, they had already gone through seven or eight rounds of screening. Those who came to the Holy Land had both combat power and talent.
Perhaps they weren't eye-catching early, but there were still people who matured late.
In this intense competition, even Wang Zhong, who was usually the 'joker', was no longer mentioned. Now, everyone was under a lot of pressure. With the competition right in front of them, who still had the mood to joke around? As for snatching resources from Wang Zhong, who was a second-class apprentice, they had to first become a Holy Disciple before they could qualify to participate in the subsequent challenges. In the past, no one thought that it was difficult to become a Holy Disciple, but now … they had to qualify first.
If the higher-ups wanted to increase the enthusiasm and competitiveness of the entire Holy Land, they had achieved their goal.
