The two instructors looked at the time seriously. 0.01 second!

It was still 0.01 second!

This would mean...

Spiritual resistance had no effect on Zhang Shan!

Zhang Shan was also shocked for a moment. Eh? Was it too fast?

“Zhang Shan, get ready. The next step is resistance value 100. Is there any problem?” Instructor Ai smiled at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan laughed and replied, “OK, a genius should be a little special.”

One sentence was all it took for the gazes on him that was full of curiosity turned into one of disdain. Among those who could be here, who wasn’t a genius? He was just able to make the connection a little quicker. The height of the lifted weight was just average!

Instructor Gao frowned. This examination of gradual increase of resistance value of 1 to 10 and to 20 was not only for them to collect more data. At the same time, it was to allow the examinee to get used to the process and was equivalent to a warm up. The truth was that if they were to start with resistance value of 100, it would take a huge toll on one’s spiritual strength. It might also affect the later 2 steps of the assessment.

“I will give you 30 seconds to prepare. Close your eyes,” instructor Gao told Zhang Shan, who appeared overly proud and flattered.

“Yes.” Although Zhang Shan had a flamboyant personality, he still had the basic quality of a soldier, which was to follow orders.

Wang Zheng had smiled. He had always felt that Zhang Shan was very special. It was just that his flamboyant personality would draw attention. However, if Zhang Shan weren’t flamboyant, would he still be Zhang Shan?

Lia walked over with curiosity and asked Wang Zheng about Zhang Shan, “Wang Zheng, what is Zhang Shan’s Ability X?”

“It’s the rarer space Ability X.” Wang Zheng smiled. This wasn’t a secret. Everyone would know about it sooner or later. It would be impossible to hide it when everyone would be staying together in the Academy. Moreover, if they wouldn’t train it now, could it be that they would train it only when they were in the battlefield?

Space? Lia frowned. Normal space Ability Xs would not usually disregard spiritual resistance.

There must be something else. However from Wang Zheng’s eyes, Lia knew that Wang Zheng wasn’t hiding anything.

Lia had a rather special Ability X. It was called “Organism Perception”. It could capture minute details in an organism so as to determine the emotions of the organism. The more classic application of this type of ability would be in lie detectors.

Wang Zheng looked at Zhang Shan. He even had a premonition that Zhang Shan would be able to achieve an instantaneous connection without resistance. This might be the result of his experiences in the World of Saints. The Cultivation Technique from that place couldn’t be brought out in practical form. However some of the subconscious benefits might be engraved into one’s spirit. action

“Alright, resistance value 100. Start.”

Instructor Gao had said 30 seconds and it was exactly 30 seconds.

Zhang Shan opened his eyes suddenly. Whether he could amaze everyone in one feat would depend on this.

Roar...

0.0...2 seconds!

It was still an instantaneous connection!

It was just that he took 0.01 second longer.

The height of the lifted weight was still about the same as when the resistance value was 10. It was just slightly lower.

Buzz...

The room was filled with noises of discussion instantly. They might be feeling envious their heart but they had to admit that Zhang Shan’s spiritual strength was really unique and could disregard resistance.

“Alright, there won’t be a need for further tests.”

Instructor Ai walked forward, patted on Zhang Shan’s shoulder, and revealed a satisfied smile.

On the other hand, Instructor Gao was recording something on the electronic recording device in his hands.

After Zhang Shan, it was Wang Zheng’s turn.

Zhang Shan gave Wang Zheng a “high-five” and said, “Wang Zheng, it’s all yours now.”

Wang Zheng nodded his head and walked up. He held the long tube against his forehead.

Resistance value of 1.

Wang Zheng’s spiritual strength exploded!

Connection time of 0.02 seconds was still very fast.

However, the height of the lifted weight...

The two instructors exchanged a gaze. The height had reached the highst point. It seemed that the intensity of Wang Zheng’s spiritual strength was still very high.

The following tests also proved this point. From resistance value 10 to 100, the connection speed was average and was similar to the rest. However, the height of the lifted weight had always reached the highest point. If one wished to get a more accurate value, he/she would need to change to a heavier weight. However, it was only an entrance examination now. It wasn’t necessary for them to change it for an individual.

It seemed that Wang Zheng’s performance of IG was indeed supported by his deep and true strength and it wasn’t due to luck or other factors.

“Alright, next.” The instructor made some notes on his recording device and didn’t ask Wang Zheng to go for a higher resistance. For the entrance examination, the meaning of the test wasn’t great. It was just that it wasn’t as dazzling as they had hoped. After all, the school had identified Wang Zheng and Orvietos as their main observational targets.

Soon, everyone had completed the first step of spiritual strength intensity assessment.

For the second step, they were moved to another room.

Ability direction assessment.

What would be tested would be one’s Ability X’s elemental attributes.

The performances of the three people from Earthworm Federation were eye-catching. Lia’s Organism Perception might not be effective if used directly in battle. However, there were huge room for its application in other aspects. Moreover if it was used well, she would definitely have the potential to become an officer.

Andre’s ability was Material Strengthening. A soft tissue in his hand could become as razor sharp and firm as a shaver. If it was used on mech, it would be the strongest tank. No matter if it was for attacking or defending, it would be peerless.

Eisen was relatively more low profile. His Ability X was Eagle’s Eye. He was a natural sniper and specialised in shooting on the move and high speed sniping.

It might sound common but his Ability X could be used for a long period of time. He could maintain it for 30 minutes each time. Moreover he only required an hour’s rest before it could be used again. If he was placed in an evenly matched battle, he would be the Death God that could break the deadlock.

When it was Wang Zheng’s turn, Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still choose to demonstrate his “Fire” elemental Ability X. He was able to maintain it for 10 minutes and could be considered as one of his strong points.

However when compared to Zhang Shan’s Warp ability, everyone’s bright spot became as large as a grain of rice.

This was beyond Wang Zheng. Warping would always be the most eye-catching ability, no matter what era it was.

When Zhang Shan used his Warping ability, every examinee’s gaze was filled with envy and jealousy. If this type of ability was well trained, it would definitely be able to go against God’s will.

Although there weren’t anyone who could manipulate large areas of space yet, small warps were also considered to be very overpowered. One could just disregard the subsequent tests. To disregard spiritual resistance and just by being a space ability user, everyone knew that Zhang Shan entering Elite Academy was a done deal.

Zhang Shan was also feeling a little proud of his achievements. Wang Zheng was also lazy to try to beat him. He understood Zhang Shan’s personality. His performance was in fact his way of urging himself forward. If one would say ridicule was what Lear used to urge himself forward, for Zhang Shan it would be to take initiatives on his own by giving himself pressure and boasting out loud. If he didn’t perform well, he would also be afraid of embarrassing himself. Obviously this type of training wasn’t suitable for everyone. One had to have sufficient mental ability and thick skin to do it.

The last step.

Ability X control assessment.

Wang Zheng frowned slightly once he saw the control assessment machine. During the IG, his strength lay in the chemistry between his body and the mech and his overbearing Cultivation Techniques. In the aspect of Ability X, he was, in fact, inferior to others. After all, he had not attended Academy X and could be considered to have gone through the less travelled path.

Undoubtedly, learning in the Academy would be a great opportunity for him.
