Chapter 12

There was only half a month left until the graduation exam.

The students from batch 101 who passed the second comprehensive test began their final sprint.

For some reason, Wang Ye felt like he was taking the college entrance examination.

He recalled that in his previous life, when the results of the college entrance examination were announced, one of his classmates immediately went back to look for the homeroom teacher. He pointed at her and said, “Didn’t you say that I wasn’t cut out for studying back then?”

Seeing her embarrassed look, the classmate said angrily, “You’re really good at judging people!”

Later, he became an internet celebrity and earned a lot of money.

In his previous life, even if one failed the college entrance examination, there were still countless opportunities for ordinary people.

Unfortunately, in this world, if one could not graduate from the Evolution Camp, it would be very difficult to become an Evolver again.

Three days later, at the training ground.

[Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques, mastery → perfection.]

Wang Ye practiced his saber technique to the limit, even surpassing some of the instructors in the saber training hall.

After practicing a million times in the space of consciousness, every move seemed to be engraved in his muscles and flowing in his blood. He was like a master of saber techniques who had tempered his skills thousands of times.

“Finally.”

Wang Ye’s understanding of saber techniques had reached a new level.

If he practiced basic routine saber techniques now, he could easily learn them.

Most of the students would start to practice routine saber techniques when they reached the proficient level in basic saber techniques.

On the one hand, routine saber techniques were more suitable for actual combat and had greater power.

On the other hand, while practicing routine saber techniques, one’s basic saber technique would also improve.

However, Wang Ye did not choose to do so. Basic skills were very important!

Umm… It had nothing to do with the fact that it would take a long time for routine saber techniques to reach the beginner level.

Wang Ye performed the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques over and over again with ease.

Although there were no fixed moves, having no moves was better than having fixed moves. The perfection-level Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques could definitely beat beginner-level or practiced-level basic routine saber techniques.

Clang!

Wang Ye put away his saber and looked at his interface.

As expected, just like the Life Evolution Technique, there was also a “+” at the end of the perfection-level Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques.

It could also be upgraded!

[Do you wish to spend 15 potential points to limit break the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques?]

[Yes!]

[Not enough potential points.]

“Limit break? Break the limit?”

Wang Ye was deep in thought. It was different from what he had expected.

Although they were both “+” signs, the one behind the Life Evolution Technique was bolded. Moreover, the notification indicated that he could upgrade the technique, not limit break.

Most importantly, the potential points required were completely different. One required 50 points, while the other only required 15 points.

Previously, when he upgraded the techniques, the number of potential points he used had been exactly the same.

“In other words, upgrading is more difficult or important than the limit break.”

Wang Ye practiced the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques a few more times until his body was completely used to it before finally leaving the training ground.

Outside the training ground, an intermediate instructor with an empty left sleeve who was passing by muttered to himself, “Perfection-level saber technique…”

“What’s wrong, Old Xiao?” A tall instructor patted him on the shoulder.

Instructor Xiao snapped back to his senses and turned around with a face full of surprise, “I just saw a student in the training ground execute the perfection-level Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques!”

The tall instructor could not help but laugh, “Are you presbyopic, Old Xiao? This is not the training ground for the elite classes. How can there be such a talented student in the ordinary classes?”

Instructor Xiao nodded, “Maybe. However, the student should be at the mastery level and happen to unleash perfection-level power during training.”

The tall instructor praised, “It’s not bad to reach the mastery level for the basic saber technique. Since he is willing to lay a solid foundation, he is a good seedling.”

Instructor Xiao hummed in agreement, “I’m looking forward to his performance in the actual combat assessment.”

…

There were only ten days left before the graduation exam!

All the students were working at full capacity.

Wang Ye was the same.

After checking the doctor’s body, he returned to the dormitory to practice the Life Evolution Technique.

He had a very fixed schedule now. As his physical fitness improved, he seemed to have endless energy every day.

He would depart to the wilderness at 6 in the morning, then come back at 6 in the evening. Occasionally, he would go to the doctor. At night, he would practice the Life Evolution Technique until 3 am.

After that, he would sleep for three hours before setting off to earn potential points.

Days passed.

Wang Ye’s hunting range gradually increased from five to six kilometers around the camp to seven to eight kilometers, and then to nine to ten kilometers.

The area between 10 to 20 kilometers of the camp was the training ground for the elite classes. The number of mutated monsters might be even lower.

The rapid increase in his strength made Wang Ye more confident. He suffered fewer injuries and his earning of potential points kept rising.

“Roar!” A mutated monster that was half the height of a human charged forward ferociously.

Wang Ye skillfully dodged to the side. The saber in his hand flashed with a cold light as he swung it down like an executioner.

It was cut in half!

The bones that were as hard as steel could not withstand an ordinary knife.

[Mutated beast killed.]

[Potential Points: 14.9→15.0.]]

A light flashed in front of his eyes.

Wang Ye sheathed his saber.

He no longer needed bandages to tie his saber to his right hand.

After cultivating the perfection-level Life Evolution Technique, he was extremely strong now.

Even if strength was not his forte, he could still easily control a 15-pound saber.

At this point, if he faced Sun Yang and others, he would be able to kill them each with a single slash even if it was a head-on confrontation.

“It’s a pity.”

Wang Ye felt sorry for Yu Haitao.

The latter had already missed the best opportunity to kill him.

Even though there were still six days before the graduation exam, Wang Ye knew very well that his current physical fitness had already surpassed the top student of Class 23, Yu Haitao. Rather, he had almost reached the minimum standard of the elite class.

The perfection-level Life Evolution Technique didn’t have any bottlenecks, and his cultivation speed was too fast.

With a thought, the light screen appeared.

Wang Ye’s consciousness fell on the “+” and used up all the potential points he had gained in the past six days.

Limit break!

Light flashed in his mind and enveloped him.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed in the space of consciousness, it was only a moment in reality, so there was basically no danger.

Furthermore, with his current acute six senses, it would be very difficult for mutated monsters to approach him silently.

In the space of consciousness, he practiced his saber technique thousands of times.

After swinging his saber thousands of times, his attainment in saber techniques had surpassed the perfection level.

He continued to execute the saber technique, connecting the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques into one, thus comprehending a unique saber technique.

[Comprehended Limit Break Skill: Comprehensive Saber Technique]

The saber moves were now comprehensive, combining the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques into one.

Both attack and defense were covered. It was a comprehensive technique.

Although it was not outstanding in any aspect, it had a wide range of applications and was compatible with almost all basic saber techniques.

“Basic skill.”

Wang Ye used the Comprehensive Saber Technique and had already mastered it.

Attacks were secondary. After his body became stronger, his normal attacks were also very powerful.

The appearance of the Comprehensive Saber Technique provided him with a defensive saber move that he desperately needed.

Compared to sword techniques, saber techniques were more focused on killing, so their defense was slightly inferior.

The various routine saber techniques were also inclined to attack rather than defense. As a result, for saber-wielding Evolvers who often had to fight mutated monsters, the probability of getting injured was higher.

“I finally have a unique skill that I can use in the actual combat assessment.”

Wang Ye was very satisfied with the limit break skill.

His consciousness focused, and he noticed that the “+” behind the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques had already disappeared.

Only the “+” behind the Life Evolution Technique was still around and very eye-catching.

“15 potential points for the limit break saber technique is worth it. What would happen if I upgraded the evolution technique with 50 potential points?”

At midnight on December 15th, everything stopped!

The outdoor training of batch 101’s students had temporarily come to an end, and all the courses had also ended.

To better cope with the graduation exam, to accurately and thoroughly go through the body examination, and to be injected with the evolutionary drug, they had three days of ample rest and preparation time.

In the female dormitory, Zhao Xiaoyu looked at her phone in a daze.

There was a message she sent to Wang Ye two hours ago, but he hadn’t replied yet.

In the past, he always replied to her messages in seconds.

“Xiaoyu, what’s so good about him that you can’t forget him?” Huang Ju looked at Zhao Xiaoyu’s distracted appearance and moved to take her phone, “I’ll help you delete him. Why are you still friends after breaking up?”

“No, don’t!” Zhao Xiaoyu subconsciously kept her phone, “There’s really nothing between us. I was just thinking about the graduation exam.”

“Really?” Huang Ju looked at her doubtfully.

“Yes,” Zhao Xiaoyu pursed her lips, “Tomorrow is the graduation exam. It concerns whether I can become an Evolver, so I am a little nervous and worried.”

“What are you worried about? No girl in the class can compare to you,” Huang Ju looked at Zhao Xiaoyu’s expression and sighed, “Why don’t you try to accept Yu Haitao? Don’t be stubborn. He’s so good and outstanding in all aspects.”

“I don’t want to date for the time being,” Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head.

“Why? How is he inferior to Wang Ye?” Huang Ju sighed in confusion, “Yu Haitao is the first in our class and is sure to be an Evolver. Wang Ye is only ranked 38th. God knows if he’ll be qualified to get the evolution drug.”

“But… He’s not good-looking,” Zhao Xiaoyu whispered.

…

In the infirmary.

“Hello, Mom. Yes, tomorrow is the graduation exam.”

“If everything goes well, I can go back after completing the rookie trial next month. Don’t worry.”

“I come to the doctor’s regularly for a check-up. I’m very healthy.”

Wang Ye looked up and saw Doctor Shu, who was wrapped in a towel and drying her wet hair, walking out of the bathroom. He smiled and nodded, “That’s all for now. Wait for my good news.”

“If I see your mother, I’ll definitely tell her that you don’t take care of yourself and get injured every now and then,” Shu Mengou rolled her eyes at him and sat down by the bed. Her body was emitting the fragrance of shower gel.

“Aren’t you here?” Wang Ye hugged Shu Mengou’s waist and rested his head on her shoulder, “I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days.”

“Sure,” Shu Mengou responded softly, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere.

“Don’t move your hands.”

Shu Mengou patted his hand which was quietly moving up.

However, she could not stop him.

“Not today, uh…”
