Chapter 9: Evolutionaries and Ability Domains

"Yes, yes, weeded out the unqualified crumbs, and the rest ...... I can barely get into it!"

On the first day of the second month of training, after the morning assembly, Instructor Colin reappeared in front of the cadets. He coldly swept over the group of students in front of him, nodded slightly, and then spoke in a loud voice.

"However, you should not be complacent or happy, because your comfortable training life has come to an end! A simple physical strength is nothing in the wilderness, and only by going through life and death can you create a truly strong man! From today onwards, you will learn the most direct and effective killing techniques and practice them yourself!"

"In addition, as I said a month ago, your results in each training session will be scored and the resources available to you will be determined! Here, I would like to tell you the good news! In training, if you can get into the top 10, then you will also be rewarded with some additional Level 1 Genetic Enhancement Potions!"

After a pause, Instructor Colin showed a meaningful smile, then looked down at the student in front of him and said sharply.

Instructor Colin's speech marked that the training of the students had entered a new stage, in the training arrangement of the students, the original endurance training and strength training time was compressed, and correspondingly, the students had a new training - combat training.

At 4 p.m. every day, the cadets undergo a two-hour combat session. Martial arts training usually begins with an instructor and usually lasts half an hour, followed by an hour and a half in which students practice the skills they have learned.

The students' performance is directly related to whether or not they can obtain the valuable Level 1 Genetic Enhancement Elixir, so in the course of each sparring session, the students attack with all their might, and no one will show mercy at all - if they can seriously injure an opponent, then they will undoubtedly have a better chance of obtaining the Genetic Enhancement Elixir themselves.

Because of his rich combat experience in his previous life and the assistance of chips, Zhang Ran's results in the martial arts class are naturally very eye-catching, and he has not tasted defeat, on the other hand, many weaker students are beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and even blood often occurs.

By the end of the week, the instructor named Thatch had his results announced – and as expected, he was comfortably in the top 10 and finished third, behind two students who were 0.2 better than him on average in all four sports.

Naturally, in the next week, Zhang Ran could obtain some additional level 1 genetic enhancement potions, and the strengthening speed of his physical fitness also increased again.

In addition to the addition of martial arts training, the students' evening classes have also changed.

After learning the basics of common words, the students no longer learn literacy in the evenings, but begin to teach common knowledge about evolutionaries and the habits and weaknesses of some common mutated creatures.

Before entering the Black Eagle Academy, Zhang Ran's understanding of the Evolver was limited to some rumors that the original owner of this body had heard, which was very superficial, but now, Zhang Ran has a deeper understanding of the Evolver.

First of all, there are the conditions for becoming an evolutionary.

After the physical fitness reaches twice that of ordinary people, the evolutionary energy obtained by the human body will no longer be used to strengthen the physique, but will be stored in the spine, and when the evolutionary energy in the spine is stored to a certain amount, it will begin to condense and undergo qualitative changes, forming an "evolutionary point".

After the evolution point is formed, it will appear as a heat source on the spine, at this time, you only need to use your mind to pull the evolution point, so that it moves from the tail of the vertebrae to the bones of the spine, and the evolution point will be consumed, so that the human body will undergo a mysterious evolution, from an ordinary person to an evolutionary.

Secondly, there is the rank of the evolutionary.

In the wasteland, ordinary people are considered level 0, and when a person gains 1 evolution point and successfully completes the evolution, he will be promoted to level 1 evolutionary, and can evolve again by consuming evolution points to become a higher level evolutionary.

For those who evolve between levels 1 and 9, they also tend to be referred to as scavengers.

Compared to ordinary people, scavengers are much more physically strong, which makes them more resistant to radiation and viruses, and initially has the qualifications to operate in the wilderness.

However, in the dangerous wilderness, scavengers are also at the lowest level, and can die if they are not careful, and in many cases, they can only clean the areas cleared by the more powerful evolutionaries, deal with some low-level mutants that have not been cleaned, and pick up valuable loot, which is also the origin of the name scavengers.

In the scavenger stage, the way to advance is also to accumulate evolution energy and condense evolution points, but scavengers need to condense 2 evolution points each time they advance, and as the level increases, the more evolution energy is spent each time they condense evolution points.

After the scavengers, there are the hunters, and the evolutionaries of levels 10 to 18 are at the level of the hunters.

Compared to scavengers, hunters are more powerful, even those very powerful mutant beasts, walking corpses and aliens in the wilderness, they have the ability to hunt and hunt alone, which is the origin of the name hunter.

In the hunter stage, 4 evolution points are required for each advancement, and the condensation of each evolution point is dozens of times more difficult than that of the scavenger stage, and as for the realm above the hunter, neither the instructor nor the teaching materials issued have been introduced.

Finally, there are the capabilities and competency domains.

The reason why evolutionaries are stronger than ordinary people is not only because they are physically stronger, but also because of the various abilities they have mastered. According to the female instructor, some powerful evolutionaries have abilities that rival or even surpass the power of nuclear bombs in the past.

When an Evolver progresses to Level 1, Level 3, Level 6, and Level 9, they each gain an ability, and the same goes for the realms after that, and depending on the effect, these abilities are divided into five Ability Domains: Combat Domain, Spell Domain, Perception Domain, Psionic Domain, and Support Domain.

The abilities in the combat domain mainly involve body enhancement and melee attack and defense using the body as a weapon, such as strength enhancement, double strike, attack and defense master, penetrating strike, etc.

The ability of the spell domain mainly involves manipulating elements for medium and long-range attacks and close-range defenses, such as fireballs, ice spears, lightning arrows, energy shields, etc.

The ability of the perceptual domain mainly involves perceiving the surrounding environment, and the common perceptual domain capabilities include heat source sensing, night vision eye, odor tracking, visual enhancement, etc.

The abilities of the Psionic Domain mainly involve the control and enhancement of weapons and guns, such as heavy warheads, bursting bullets, sniper specializations, weapon enhancement enchantments, etc.

The abilities of the auxiliary domain are relatively broad, and all abilities that are difficult to be covered by the first four ability domains will basically be thrown into the auxiliary domain, such as blessings, summoning, healing, luck and other abilities, which are basically classified in this category.

Of course, the five major ability domains are only a rough division, and there are often many abilities that can be divided into more than one ability domain, and some special abilities are difficult to be classified into any one ability domain, but the five ability domains are still relatively complete overall, and they are also commonly used in the wilderness.
