Chapter 142: Aptitude Test

The Wards, on the other hand, have a moderate population, probably because their bodies themselves are already too powerful, and the awakening rate is even less than 0.9%.

On the other hand, his sworn enemy, the steppe wolf, has a large population, and the awakening rate is slightly more than 1%. However, due to the low physical fitness, it is very rare for the awakened person above the third level to appear.

Perhaps this is a balance of survival of the fittest in nature after countless years of precipitation, and it is a kind of game rule formulated by Gaia, the goddess of the earth mother, when she was in the creation of the world.

According to Philip's judgment, the strength of the spirit core must reach at least 4 or more before it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of awakening.

And those who fail to achieve this, unless there is an extremely special opportunity, will be an ordinary member of the crowd of living beings, and will not have the opportunity to awaken for the rest of their lives.

And some animals and plants with strong bloodlines also have the opportunity to awaken, and often this awakening will be reflected in bloodline optimization and special abilities.

For example, unicorns above the silver level can not only soar in the sky with complete meat wings, but also have special abilities, just like Arthur and his mother.

It's a pity that Natalie, who was once pinned on by Philip, has entered the stage of maturity and is likely to miss the transformation of the bloodline.

Matthew prepared the tools for testing and said to Philip: "Start testing your strength now, go all out, and use your best abilities." ”

The reason why awakening is crazy and terrifying is, of course, not only because of the crazy improvement of physical fitness, but also because of the special ability after opening the talent.

After opening the awakening, the ability can be improved again according to the different awakening levels and attributes.

The exact multiplier varies from person to person, but generally fluctuates between 0.5 and 5 times.

This multiple, also known as amplitude, is an important indicator of innate ability.

For example, Matthew's ability to strengthen eyesight.

After activating his ability, his eyesight can be instantly improved by 5 times, and he can lock onto a person's eyes from a distance of 3 kilometers.

If it weren't for the range of his bow and arrows, he would be a formidable ranged battery, which is one of the reasons why he has been serving in the Scout Force to the fullest extent possible.

If it were in a modern war, Matthew would be a nightmare for all commanders on the front line, and no one would dare to be easily exposed to his sight.

Philip closed his eyes and adjusted the pace of his breathing, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, and he needed a lot of practice in the future.

The target's dynamometer was a white foam-like stone fixed to a steel frame, and Philip's fist struck it with a loud bang.

But the stone was unexpectedly strong, but instead of being shattered by this great force, it suddenly changed color.

From milky white to red, and soon to orange, then yellow, then green.

After turning green, it is subdivided into light green and green little by little, and finally stops in a green state and does not change anymore.

Matthew looked at the color of the stone and asked, "How much spiritual power have you invoked now?"

Philip was very satisfied with his performance, and before he awakened, he used all his strength, but it was only a deep orange, and now he jumped a full two colors at once.

You must know that between each color, there is a difference of several times.

"About 10%, it should be about the same ratio as before awakening, and I didn't deliberately adjust the concentration of energy. He replied.

Matthew roughly calculated, looked happy, and said to Philip, "Try one and a half." ”

This time Philip's face turned red and a little struggling, as if he was overwhelmed, but this time the stone turned dark green.

"It's a little uncomfortable, the bones and muscles are sore as if they're about to crack. Philip frowned as he said.

"It's okay, it's just temporary, the body is not adapting, and when the intensity and nutrition of the workout keep up, it will be much better. Now let's start testing the speed, just keep one percent of spiritual power, and by the way, test the duration of the test. Matthew said.

The whole process of testing took three days intermittently, during which the entire Wild Lion Castle was closed to guests, and it was heavily guarded as if it were facing a great enemy.

During these three days, Brad and Matthew's spirits were always high, while Philip's body was aching and happy.

The final test report, kept in a huge safe in Brad's study, will be kept as the Snape family's greatest secret, and will be compiled into the family archives in the future.

The results of the test were encouraging, as could easily be seen from the radiant face of the elder Brad at the celebration.

He enjoyed the congratulations of his old friends and even his former political enemies, and whether the words of the other party were insincere or sour, he would let out a hearty laugh, which was very clear even in the noisy hall.

And Philip, as the protagonist, is like a beautiful work of art, protected by the brothers Matthew and Francis, and brought to display in front of every nobleman in Gokan City.

Especially in the end, Catherine is like a proud peacock, and Philip behind her, playing her gorgeous tail feathers, is surrounded by a group of noble ladies, trying to cheer up as much as possible and maintain an elegant demeanor.

It's just that he didn't notice a resentful gaze not far away, and kept staring at him, watching him surrounded by stars and moons in the center of the crowd, full of vigor and dazzling.

It was Yun'er, and since the relationship between the two of them pierced the last layer of window paper that night, Xiao Nizi's whole heart was tied to him, happy with his joy and depressed with his troubles.

He has now taken a crucial step, and himself, who is more than two years older than him, has not yet shown any signs of awakening, can he still catch up with him, does he still need to guard his side, just like before.

Yun'er, who was hiding in the corner, sat there blankly, thinking about the girl's thoughts.

Philip was unaware of this, even if he had just awakened and his physical strength had increased greatly, he felt sluggish and exhausted at the end of the night, and wanted to hurry back to his soft bed and sleep well for the day.

Philip's ability to awaken is a bit complicated to explain, so let's keep it simply.

After awakening, if he does not activate the madness ability, in his daily state, Philip's physical fitness will be increased by three times.

But that's not to say that it takes him only a third of the time to complete a kilometer.

Power can perhaps simply stack, but speed cannot.

Awakening enhances the strength of muscles, bones, and ligaments, as well as the speed of metabolism and the number of hormones secreted by various organs.

After calculation, his actual speed at this time was about twice as fast as before.

Other effects such as nerve reflex speed and endurance are similar, and are not simple rules of multiplication and division.

The amplitude of Philip's madness ability is about twice as much.

With the opening of the ability, the knots on the green spirit core were instantly lit up, like a small sun.

But the strange thing is that the total amount of spiritual power contained in this node has not changed, but the strength has skyrocketed to twice as much, just like a computer chip working overclocked.

The spiritual power in other places is still the same as before, neither increasing nor decreasing, and the intensity has not changed, but it can be freely transferred according to Philip's ideas.

At this time, Philip's physical fitness was already six times greater.

Among the first-level Awakened, a two-fold increase is considered a mid-to-upper asset.

If you consider that it is an enhancement of all attributes, not a specialization of a single attribute, then this ratio is very impressive.

But this is not the upper limit of the madness ability at this stage, in addition to the awakening of higher levels, you can also achieve this purpose by mobilizing more spiritual power.

Philip's madness ability, the spiritual power required by default, occupies one-tenth of all the spiritual power he can control.

If Philip is not satisfied with this, he can mobilize more spiritual power to enter the node, and the current limit of what he can withstand is one and a half.

At this time, his physical attributes in all aspects were almost nine times that of the original.

As you can imagine, what a horrible transformation and elevation it was.

But this strength also comes at a cost.

Philip can continue to increase the amplitude, but this requires the body to consume more and better energy, and at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the exercise and maintenance of physical fitness to ensure that the body can withstand such a large amount of pressure.

It's like smashing a punch against a wall with nine times the strength, if the strength of the muscles and bones is still the same as before, what awaits him is only broken bones and tendons, and the self-damage of killing a thousand enemies may even exceed two thousand.

The human body is also a complex organism, and it is impossible for any organism to be overloaded for a long time without limit, otherwise it will bring terrible side effects.

Many young people who lack systematic and scientific guidance are blindly pursuing strong strength because they can't reasonably control this amplitude, so that they wear out their bodies too much and cut off the space to continue to rise early.

Moreover, there is a time limit for the opening of any ability.

Philip's awakening can last for no different time than the average person, only one hour a day.

This has nothing to do with how much spiritual power he mobilizes or how many innate abilities he awakens, it only has to do with the level of awakening.

According to Brad's explanation, the fourth-level awakening is a huge level that stands in front of every awakened person.

If you cross this level, whether it is the attribute of the ability or the duration of the time, there will be a qualitative change again.

Of course, the difficulty of this level has also made countless people regret it for life.

In short, in this vast and complex world, there are thousands of abilities to awaken, and the strength of the spiritual core, physical fitness, training level, and even personality and emotions all vary from person to person.

In this real world, the calculation of strength is too cumbersome and complex, and the variables are endless.

It is difficult to use a uniform standard to accurately measure which is higher and which is lower, at least not just a few numbers calculated on paper.

That represents a possibility, not a result.

At least it's hard to be like some of the vindictive stories that Philip has seen in his previous life, where everyone is on a unified platform, and when compared horizontally, rank is everything.
