145: Chapter 145, I guess, 3.8 to 3.9 points.

A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, but he did not attack immediately.

Instead, he moved his feet, nimbly dodging the attacks of the Black Wind Wolf.

He wove through the pack of wolves as if playing a game.

He was not in a hurry to kill the Yao Beast; rather, he wanted to carefully feel the combat sensation of the virtual world.

He wanted to feel the subtle differences in the circulation of Qi and blood compared to reality, while also familiarizing himself with the Black Wind Wolf's attack patterns.

The Black Wind Wolf's attacks were sharp and swift, but in front of Lin Yun, who was at Second-Stage Perfection, they were ultimately not enough.

While dodging, Lin Yun occasionally raised his hand, with a faint power of Qi and blood gathering at his fingertips.

With a light tap, a Black Wind Wolf would fall to the ground and dissipate into specks of light.

He killed them very slowly, carefully feeling the details of the battle with every Move.

The flow of Qi and blood, and the connection of his Moves, were all controlled perfectly.

About ten minutes later, the last Black Wind Wolf was slain by Lin Yun, and the virtual prompt sounded:

"Combat Power Tower First Floor, challenge successful, score 1 point. Do you wish to enter the second floor?"

"Enter."

Lin Yun said in a deep voice, his tone calm and without a ripple.

The difficulty of the first floor was too simple for him; he didn't feel much pressure at all.

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room at the top of the Virtual Training Building.

Several teachers were gathered in front of a huge screen, closely monitoring the challenge situation of every freshman.

The screen was divided into countless small frames.

Each frame corresponded to a freshman who was currently challenging the two towers.

Lin Yun's frame was enlarged separately in the very center.

He was the only one among all the freshmen with Second-Stage Perfection cultivation, so he naturally became the focus of attention.

A slightly chubby middle-aged teacher held a teacup.

Watching Lin Yun playing with the Black Wind Wolf on the screen, he raised an eyebrow and said with a smile:

"Yo, I couldn't tell, this kid actually has something."

"I thought he was just an upstart who relied on Family resources and stuffed himself with Medicinal Pills to get where he is; I didn't expect his combat skills to be so proficient."

Beside him, an elderly teacher with graying hair nodded, his eyes fixed on the screen, and said slowly:

"Indeed. Since the school implemented the rules for the Trial Tower and Combat Power Tower, it has been rare for children from large Families to rely on Medicinal Pills to smash their way to high cultivation and dominate the freshman leaderboard."

"With this kid's Second-Stage Perfection cultivation, if he truly has the corresponding strength, he might just stand out on the freshman leaderboard."

The third teacher, dressed in a green teacher's uniform, turned to look at the beautiful woman sitting in the main seat and asked curiously:

"Director Shen, you are experienced. Tell us, how many points do you think this kid can eventually get?"

This woman was none other than Shen Qingqiu, the Director of the Combat Department at Tianshui Martial Arts University, and Qiao Shiyu's aunt.

The middle-aged teacher was the first to guess:

"I guess his final score will be around 3.2 to 3.3."

"Although he is at Second-Stage Perfection, he killed too slowly on the first floor; he is clearly adapting to the virtual environment."

"The Yao Beast on the second floor is the Second-Stage Early Stage Bloodthirsty Leopard. They are numerous and fast. Even if he can clear it, it will take a lot of time."

"The difficulty of the subsequent floors increases, so getting 3.3 points would already be quite good."

The elderly teacher shook his head and retorted:

"I don't think it will be that high."

"Look, he just spent ten full minutes clearing the first floor. Using that long for Second-Stage Perfection to deal with Black Wind Wolves shows his practical combat experience is not yet rich enough."

"I estimate he can clear the second and third floors, but on the fourth floor, he can at most kill one-tenth of the Yao Beasts. The final score should be between 3.05 and 3.1."

As the two argued, everyone's gaze converged on Shen Qingqiu, waiting for her guess.

Shen Qingqiu watched the figure of Lin Yun entering the second floor on the screen with a calm gaze. A faint arc curled at the corner of her mouth, and she spoke slowly, her tone firm:

"I guess, 3.8 to 3.9 points."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three teachers were instantly stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

"Director Shen, you aren't joking, are you? 3.8 to 3.9 points?" The middle-aged teacher's eyes widened.

"This score is something even many Second-Stage Perfection senior students find hard to achieve!"

"Even though he is also at Second-Stage Perfection, he shouldn't be that powerful, right?"

The elderly teacher also nodded, looking puzzled:

"Indeed, Director Shen, aren't you overestimating him?"

"The Yao Beast on the third floor is the Second-Stage Middle Stage Iron-Armored Bear. It has thick skin and flesh, with astonishing defense."

"For a Second-Stage Perfection to clear it is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors that follow. Getting above 3.8 points is almost impossible."

Shen Qingqiu did not refute; she just stared at the screen, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes:

"You only see that he kills slowly, but you don't see his details."

"Every time he dodges, every time he attacks, he is deliberately adapting to the virtual environment. His Qi and blood circulation is stable, and his Moves are connected smoothly."

"Moreover, he observes the Yao Beast's attack patterns very meticulously. It is clear that he has undergone professional guidance, and his practical combat foundation is very solid."

"With Second-Stage Perfection cultivation, plus solid practical combat skills, as long as he adapts to the virtual environment, he might very well clear the subsequent floors."

Hearing this, the teachers turned to look at the screen and carefully observed Lin Yun's battle.

They indeed discovered the details Shen Qingqiu had mentioned.

Lin Yun's movements seemed slow, but every step was just right.

While avoiding the Yao Beast's attacks, he could precisely find the Yao Beast's flaws, and his attacks were crisp and neat, without any superfluous movements.

In the virtual world, Lin Yun had already entered the second floor of the Combat Power Tower.

Looking at the twenty Second-Stage Early Stage Bloodthirsty Leopards with robust bodies and bloodthirsty eyes in front of him, a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

This time, he felt a little bit of pressure.

Of course, only a little.

The Bloodthirsty Leopards were extremely fast, agile, and highly aggressive.

Twenty Bloodthirsty Leopards attacked simultaneously from all directions, their fangs flashing with cold light, and the power of Qi and blood lingered around their bodies.

They were much more powerful than the Black Wind Wolves on the first floor.

Lin Yun moved his feet, unleashing a movement Combat Technique, his figure weaving through the leopard pack.

At the same time, his fist gathered dense power of Qi and blood, smashing towards the Bloodthirsty Leopard beside him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The wind of the fist whistled, Qi and blood surged, and every punch that landed on a Bloodthirsty Leopard could be heard with the sound of bones shattering.

One by one, the Bloodthirsty Leopards fell to the ground and dissipated into specks of light.

However, there were too many Bloodthirsty Leopards, and they were too fast. From time to time, one would break through his defense and bite towards his arms or legs.

Lin Yun had no choice but to use the yellow rank top-grade movement technique, "Thousand Shadow Steps".

He dodged while counterattacking.

At the same time, his Qi and blood power circulated rapidly; he couldn't be bothered to use the yellow rank mid-grade "Stone-Splitting Fist" anymore.

He directly used the yellow rank top-grade sword technique, "Startling Swan Shadow".

While carefully feeling the pressure brought by the battle, Lin Yun also constantly adjusted his movements to adapt to the attack rhythm of the Bloodthirsty Leopards.

This was his first time in such a high-intensity battle.

Twenty Second-Stage Early Stage Yao Beasts attacking simultaneously was a great test of his movement, Moves, and control of Qi and blood.

After a fierce battle, Lin Yun was slightly sweaty, and his breathing became a bit rapid, but the light in his eyes became increasingly dazzling.

The last Bloodthirsty Leopard was slain, and the virtual prompt sounded slowly:

"Combat Power Tower Second Floor, challenge successful, score 1 point. Current total score 2 points. Do you wish to enter the third floor?"

Lin Yun caught his breath and wiped away sweat that hadn't actually appeared.

Although he passed without injury, the feeling of this high-intensity battle made him exceptionally excited.

It also gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

"Enter the third floor!"
