Chapter 194 Aura Boost, Exploiting a Bug?

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the other leaders and the women lit up.

Wang Meng slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Boss, do you mean using the 80% boost from the 'All Hearts as One' Halo to speed up skill learning?"

"Exactly." Su Ze nodded. "If it works, the efficiency will skyrocket."

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Yuwan's eyes; she understood Su Ze's intention.

If skills could be learned under the Halo's buff, it would drastically shorten the learning time, allowing Jinghai University's overall strength to achieve a qualitative leap in a short period.

An Lan also nodded slightly, her hand on her sword hilt, clearly agreeing with this line of thinking.

"This is great!" Qiao Yunge pumped her fist excitedly. "An 80% boost! We'll learn everything so fast!"

"Boss, actually, what I wanted to say just now was exactly this."

Chen Xueming took a step forward and added.

"When I was testing, I specifically chose a few brothers from Building 9 with the highest intelligence attributes. Even so, without a skill book to learn from directly, the efficiency was still too low."

"At that rate, it would be impossible to gain a basic mastery of these two skills within two or three days."

Hearing this, the expressions of Wang Meng and the others, which had been full of joy just a moment ago, turned solemn.

Indeed, the rest period was only three days in total.

"So, let's test this idea. If it works, it'll be like glitching the system, allowing all players to grow rapidly!" Su Ze nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Wang Meng said impatiently. "Boss, let's have all the players gather at the School Gate Square right now!"

Su Ze nodded. "Go, be quick about it."

Wang Meng took his orders and, along with Xu Feng, Zhuang Yi, and the others, immediately began to summon the players.

In less than ten minutes, the entire Jinghai University was on the move.

On the massive square at the school gate, shadows flickered as people began to converge.

Over forty thousand players poured out of the Dormitory buildings like a tide, gathering toward the center of the square.

Their faces were filled with excitement and curiosity as they whispered among themselves, guessing Su Ze's purpose for calling them together.

"What's going on? Are we going to war again?"

"No way, Liao Long was just wiped out. Where would any enemies come from?"

"I heard Boss Su Ze has new orders, and it has something to do with the attribute points we just got!"

The noise rose and fell, but soon, with the loud shouts of Wang Meng and the other leaders, order was gradually established on the square.

Su Ze, Jiang Yuwan, An Lan, and the others stood on a high platform at the edge of the square, looking down at the dense crowd.

The group of over forty thousand people was so vast that its end couldn't be seen at a glance; it was a grand sight.

"Quiet, everyone!" Wang Meng roared at the top of his lungs.

Once the crowd quieted down a bit, Su Ze stepped forward. His voice was calm, yet it carried across the entire square.

"Brothers and sisters of Jinghai University!"

"We have just annexed the Taoyuan Residential Area and achieved a massive victory! All players have received +10 attribute points, and the Dormitory levels have been upgraded—these are all the results of everyone's hard work!"

A Burst of enthusiastic cheering erupted from the square.

Su Ze raised his hand for silence, and the cheering gradually died down.

"However, the real challenge has only just begun. I'm sure most players know that in the next round of the game, we will be facing unprecedented Supernatural Entities!"

"Supernatural Entities are different from zombies; they possess spiritual attacks and are harder to deal with. Therefore, we need stronger power and more effective methods!"

Su Ze's voice became serious. "I've called you all here today to improve our overall strength!"

"Next, I require all players to first increase your intelligence and spirit attributes to 10 points!"

"As for the rest, unless an attribute hasn't reached the normal standard—in which case, bring it up to standard—add all remaining points to your intelligence attribute!"

As soon as he said this, the square instantly became noisy.

"Listen to Boss Su Ze!"

"If he says add intelligence, then add intelligence! The Boss must have his reasons!"

"Anyway, whatever the Boss says, we'll just do it!"

Soon, the players on the square opened their virtual panels one after another and began to distribute their attribute points.

Streaks of white light flashed through the crowd; these were the special effects of the players' attribute points increasing.

Su Ze watched this scene with satisfaction.

He knew that this kind of collective action required absolute leadership.

"Alright, now that everyone has allocated their attribute points," Su Ze's voice rang out again, "next, we are going to conduct a test!"

"I need you to imagine the dormant zombies in the distance as enemies!"

The next second.

[Ding! Collective will detected. 'All Hearts as One' Halo activated!]

[Current area: A total of 40,314 players belonging to Jinghai University!]

[Halo Effect: All belonging players, all attributes increased by 80%!]

Boom!

A warm current, far more powerful than any before, instantly surged into every player's body.

"Holy crap! This feeling... it's amazing!"

"My strength... I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch!"

"Is this the 80% boost? Boss Su Ze is so badass! This is way stronger than before!"

Thunderous exclamations instantly erupted across the square.

They could clearly feel their bodies undergoing earth-shaking changes; their thoughts became clearer than ever, and their spirits were exceptionally full.

"Quiet!"

Su Ze's voice suppressed all the noise.

"Now, begin practicing the Spirit Guarding Incantation and Soul-Shaking Roar!"

"Those who have already learned them, teach those around you who haven't! Everyone, get moving!"

With the order given, the entire square instantly went from noisy to orderly.

Those players who had already learned the basics from the leaders immediately acted as temporary teachers.

Of course, it was mostly the leaders who were doing the teaching.

"No, no, your path for guiding spirit is wrong!"

"Watch my mouth. When you 'roar' out, you need to use power from your Dantian!"

"The key to the Spirit Guarding Incantation is building a stable spirit cycle. If you're loose one moment and tight the next like that, the shield will dissipate before it even forms!"

The entire square turned into an unprecedented, giant open-air classroom.

With the 80% intelligence boost, the efficiency of the forty thousand players increased significantly!

Some players who had struggled before now felt a sudden moment of clarity; many previously incomprehensible points were instantly understood.

Even ordinary players who had never encountered skills before showed amazing learning abilities under the enhancement of high intelligence.

Time passed minute by minute.

Less than ten minutes after the practice began.

In a corner of the square, a young player who had just been merged from the Taoyuan Residential Area stared intently at a distant zombie. He took a deep breath and then, with all his might, let out a raw roar.

"Roar—!"

An invisible spiritual wave suddenly spread out with him at the center!

Although the range was small and the power pitifully weak, it was indeed the prototype of the Soul-Shaking Roar!

A slight curve finally appeared at the corner of Su Ze's mouth.

And this was just the beginning.

"I... I think I've learned it too!"

"My Spirit Guarding Incantation can finally be condensed!"

"Hahaha! It worked! I finally have a skill too!"

In the next moment, shouts of surprise or ecstasy rang out one after another from every corner of the square like mushrooms after a rain!
