PDLP Chapter 041, Phase 2!
Chapter 041, Phase 2!
Lin Qiye glanced at them briefly before looking away.
All he wants now is to get some rest.
Just then, the female examiner, Deng Hong, casually swept her gaze across the room, finally lingering for a moment on Lin Qiye, who was sitting alone on the ground. She then announced loudly, "Congratulations everyone, you have completed the first stage of the selection. Rest here for 24 hours, and then prepare for the second stage of the examination!"
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment.
Resting here?
This means they cannot return to the hotel and cannot get more rest and resupply.
He glanced around and saw that the geniuses from various prestigious universities had begun to systematically take out various recovery items from their backpacks, and some even took out portable energy recovery pods.
The gap is everywhere.
Since he couldn't go back to replenish his energy, Lin Qiye could only take out nutrient solution from his tactical pack and continue drinking it to replenish his energy.
The effects of the "Blood Activation No. 5" were wearing off, and the pain in his arms became clear again. He took out another one and used it on himself without hesitation.
It's unclear how many students will be eliminated in the first phase.
Lin Qiye secretly estimated that he could break into the top 500 among tens of thousands of candidates as a "self-taught" candidate.
This score should be enough for him to get into most of the top private martial arts universities, right?
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on Yan Feilong, who had an arrogant expression in the distance.
The other person seemed to have noticed his gaze and gave him a cold look.
Lin Qiye slowly withdrew his gaze, his heart filled with no anger, only a cold calm.
He knows he is not as strong as others now, but that doesn't mean he will be in the future.
He raised his arms, which were still sore, numb, and covered in bruises, and slowly clenched his fists.
Pain is the best teacher.
This clash left him thoroughly convinced of his defeat and also made him clear about his future direction for the first time.
"Martial arts techniques..." Lin Qiye muttered to himself, his eyes burning with an unprecedented fervor. "I need real martial arts techniques!"
Only by mastering true martial arts techniques can he unleash his immense power to the fullest extent, perhaps even two hundred percent!
Time passed second by second, and more and more candidates arrived at the finish line platform, but many more were left forever in the dark passage behind.
As the number on the electronic timer jumped to the 10000th candidate crossing the finish line, the huge alloy gate in the distance, representing the starting point, slammed shut with a heavy roar.
Lin Qiye looked around but didn't see Bai Mujie.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Nearly one million candidates will be selected, with only the top ten thousand advancing to the second stage.
Bai Mujie's genetic potential doesn't even qualify him as a quasi-martial artist, so it was highly likely that he would be eliminated in such a brutal selection process.
However, with millions of test takers, only the top 10,000 will advance to the second stage. Isn't that an extremely high elimination rate?
Lin Qiye shook his head, focusing his attention back on the second stage of the exam he was preparing for.
For these privileged individuals, the 24-hour rest period is both a time for recuperation and a new round of arms race.
At the finish line, the 10,000 participants were clearly divided into several areas.
At the very heart of the group were Lei Qianjun, Su Qingying, and other gifted students from top high schools. They sat cross-legged, some meditating with their eyes closed, others consuming high-grade pills that emitted a faint glow, their bodies surrounded by subtle energy fluctuations, clearly using the most efficient methods to recover and adjust their condition.
On the periphery are smaller groups of equally strong individuals from top high schools.
They huddled together, whispering their experiences from the first phase, sharing medicine and food, the atmosphere tense yet united.
Lin Qiye sat alone in the far corner, like a lonely island out of place in this noisy place.
There aren't many people like Lin Qiye. Besides Lin Qiye, there are only five others: four men and one woman.
Since he had nothing to do, Lin Qiye simply started practicing the Eight Treasures Technique silently.
To his surprise, as he circulated the energy, a gentle warmth emanated from his body and flowed slowly over his injured arms.
Wherever that warm current passed, the tingling and stinging sensations were gradually relieved and dissolved!
now it's right!
Lin Qiye's heart stirred, and he instantly understood.
Whether it's "Eight Treasures Exercise" or "Radio Gymnastics," their essence is the most basic exercise for strengthening the body and enhancing genetic potential.
Although they lack flashy moves and powerful attacks, they have the most fundamental and direct effects on nourishing and restoring the body.
Having figured this out, Lin Qiye no longer hesitated, calmed his mind, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of the Eight Treasures Technique.
Time flies, and 24 hours pass in the blink of an eye.
When Lin Qiye opened his eyes again, the injuries to his arms had mostly healed. Although there was still some lingering pain, it no longer affected his mobility.
His physical and mental abilities, nourished by the cultivation technique, returned to their peak state.
Just then, as the timer in the center of the platform reached zero, the towering examiner, Qiang Shili Sen, took a step forward, his heavy footsteps shaking the entire alloy platform.
"Break time is over!"
His booming voice resounded throughout the venue, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"The second stage of the exam shall now begin!"
