Chapter 511: Chapter 227: Breaking the Rules, the System Exploded
The number of rifles instantly jumped from five to twenty!
Simultaneously, three special sniper rifles materialized in three different corners of the room. They had menacing designs and frighteningly long barrels.
"AD-9 armor-piercing snipers!" someone exclaimed.
"These sniper rifles fire special rounds that can effectively dismantle the defensive structure of Gangsha Armor. They’re designed specifically to deal with Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artists!"
Before the words had even faded...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three dull, thunderous roars echoed out almost simultaneously!
Three special armor-piercing rounds, trailing long streams of fire, shot toward Lin Ye’s glabella, heart, and the back of his head at a speed nearly impossible to track with the naked eye.
The angles were cunning, aimed straight for his vitals!
This time, Lin Ye didn’t take any chances.
With a mere thought, the invisible field around him instantly changed. He precisely converged most of the gravitational force on the three points of impact, forming three invisible shields of astonishing thickness.
SCREECH—!
An ear-piercing shriek of friction erupted. The moment the three armor-piercing rounds slammed into the force-field shields, they burst into a blinding shower of sparks. The warheads spun wildly, trying to drill through the defense.
In the end, just an instant before they could reach the surface of Lin Ye’s skin, the three rounds finally exhausted their kinetic energy and fell harmlessly to the ground.
Lin Ye was still completely unscathed!
In the observation hall, everyone watched in a daze.
They had assumed that against an attack of this caliber, Lin Ye would have had to activate his Gang Sha and use it in tandem with his bizarre force field to block it.
Who would have thought that he would remain standing there, perfectly composed, and neutralize a fatal barrage using only that invisible, intangible field?
Meanwhile, a string of rapidly changing numbers appeared in Lin Ye’s vision.
[Current Score: 53,820]
’So the core of this test really is to calculate how much damage the subject nullifies.’
’A score of over fifty thousand... when converted, that’s roughly equivalent to a Martial Artist with a Life Index of about five thousand barely surviving that last volley of attacks.’
However, looking at this score and then recalling Xiao Lingchen’s equivalent score of one hundred million, everyone felt the gap was absurdly large.
Time slowly ticked by amid the increasingly frenzied assault.
「Ten minutes later.」
Inside the virtual room, all traces of conventional kinetic weapons were long gone.
In their place was an overwhelming barrage of plasma cannons, high-energy laser beams, and all sorts of bizarre attacks from the Celestial Abyss Race—there were even countless simulated sword glints and saber flashes from human Martial Artists.
The entire screen was almost completely engulfed by a kaleidoscope of attack effects and explosive light.
Every spectator felt their scalp tingle as they watched the figure at the center of the myriad attacks.
"Maybe... he should just stop..."
"This is terrifying. Not even a god could withstand this density of attacks!"
"Even though the Virtual Space eliminates pain, the psychological pressure and the feeling of being struck by countless attacks are very real. Someone with a weaker will would probably faint just from watching this spectacle..."
By now, Lin Ye’s score on the leaderboard had skyrocketed to over 1.2 million.
The intensity, frequency, and scale of the attacks continued to escalate at a heart-stopping pace.
Even Lin Ye could no longer remain completely unscathed.
His Gravity Field, though powerful, ultimately had its limits. Its defensive effectiveness was greatly diminished against certain energy attacks and Spirit assaults that ignored the laws of physics.
Wounds began to appear on his body.
But Lin Ye’s face showed no trace of pain. Instead, it held a hint of curiosity.
’This is exactly the opportunity I needed.’
’A chance to accurately test the limits of my current defenses!’
’The 2.6 million Life Value on my system panel is just a base number.’
’Factoring in all the bonuses, trump cards, my superhuman physical fortitude, and various passive damage reductions...’
’I don’t even know what my own equivalent Life Value can actually reach.’
’Now’s the perfect time to find out.’
「Another five minutes passed.」
On the leaderboard, the string of numbers next to Lin Ye’s name had already broken the three million mark!
From the main seat, Zhu Mingyi nodded in satisfaction.
"That should be enough. Three million points is already far beyond the requirement for a perfect score."
He was well aware that achieving an equivalent damage score of three million with a Life Index of 260,000 was an achievement that would make anyone’s jaw drop.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice echoed through the Virtual Space.
[Examinee Lin Ye, your test score has far exceeded the standard for a perfect score. Do you wish to conclude this test and proceed to the next?]
At these words, everyone in the observation hall breathed a collective sigh of relief.
It was finally over. If it had gone on any longer, they felt like *they* wouldn’t have been able to take it.
However, the Lin Ye on the screen slowly shook his head and spoke calmly.
"Why should I stop?"
"I’m nowhere near my limit."
Those simple words plunged the entire observation hall back into a stunned silence.
The smile on Zhu Mingyi’s face faltered slightly.
’Nowhere near his limit?’
’This kid...’
He then chuckled, shaking his head. The look of admiration in his eyes grew even stronger.
’Interesting.’
He turned his head and gestured to the aide behind him.
The aide understood and immediately relayed an order to the proctoring team via internal comms.
Soon, the mechanical voice in the Virtual Space sounded again.
[Reminder, Examinee Lin Ye: The top score for this test is 99,999,999. There is no practical benefit to continuing. We recommend you conserve your stamina and energy for the subsequent combat tests.]
