Chapter 988: Spirit Mothership 2

The first stage was called the modification test.

The main focus of the Energy Machinists of Planet Naga was on modification, primarily modifying one's body with regard to strength, speed, resistance and regenerative power, these four areas. The score must reach a certain level in order to pass the first stage.

The standard of passing was a thorough judgment of values. Garen used the Energy Machine Imprint to quickly calculate that when view in terms of his own physical attributes, he would need at least three points or so to make it through.

He looked at his own physical value again. Even though he had not been able to get any potential points for a long time, but under his own cultivation and the speciality of his ability, his physical fitness had always been at the highest level.

'Nonosiva Lin - Strength 3.1, Agility 3.0, Vitality 4.7, Intelligence 8.1, Potential 3030%. Soul limit 40'

The average of three points was certainly not a problem. For the general Energy Machinists, the intelligence aspect would not be more than three points. As a matter of fact, what was truly assessed was the data from their other aspects.

"Such a high threshold is needed just for the first stage. It really is the test of the Spirit Mothership." Garen was still a little shaken.

He approached the nearest obelisk with less people and the reward slowly appeared on the mirror-like surface.

'Strength/Speed/Resistance/Regenerative power Level One modification gene fluid (pick any one) - Perfect Level (Perfect Level are masterpieces, market price is 1.25 million crystals and is generally priceless. The standard of Level One is to increase one standard unit quantity). '

Standard unit quantity. The standard unit here on Planet Naga was different and Garen also knew about this unit conversion, which could raise his own attribute by almost two points at a time.

As for the corresponding Level One, it meant that the level of Energy Machinist who could use it was Level One. For other high-level Energy Machinists, this thing was of little value. This was because the gene fluid could only be used once. When used the second time, the body would very strong drug resistance, and so it is almost ineffective. Hence, when attaining every level, one would do everything that was possible to acquire self-strengthening gene fluid as the basis for modification.

Only freaks such as Garen had never taken any gene fluid. Back then in Blackboard Region, he had enough strength for his own use so there was not a need to develop this area. Manipulating the Mech was already powerful enough. But now for Garen, who had never consumed gene fluid, it was undoubtedly a very good enhancement item.

"Sweet stuff!" Garen narrowed his eyes. There were plenty of freaks who had lived for centuries among the Energy Machinists. Even the millennium old monsters were not few in numbers. The strength level of the few worlds he had reincarnated into was weaker than this world. As such, his previous accumulated advantage was not obvious and he was only at the middle level of his peers. Furthermore, he had been having bad luck up to the sky and not even once, any good luck. That was why he was still in a poor state of affairs. This type of good thing, High-level Perfect Level gene liquid, was not something he could afford. As for the low-level one, he could not bear to waste his one and only chance as such. Now, the opportunity had finally come.

"I have never used a gene modification. Now that I am a Level Four Energy Machinist, I can completely advance using different levels of gene fluid four times! This is a golden opportunity."

"The initial test begins. Everyone, walk into the stele for the first phase of strength testing."

The voice of the invigilator sounded.

Nora glanced coldly at March and was the first to walk into the stele. After that was March, and then Wade. The three strongest people actually entered the same stele, clearly with the intention of comparing with one another.

The rest of the second-class powerhouses, such as Yiling, Beast and the others, entered several other steles.

In other regions, the sects each entered a sect's stele while the independents mixed together to go in. Each stele could have one hundred people entering it.

Garen strode into one side of a stele. The surface of the stele was like the surface of water and he walked through it easily.

Inside was a spacious black-stone hall with a huge crystal rock in the middle. On it was the drawing of a white-bearded old man with bulky arms in a bodybuilding pose. He only wore a red briefs and his entire muscles were firm. He stood with his back facing everyone. He was wearing black sunglasses on his slightly turned face and had an imposing manner.

There were words displayed underneath the picture of the old man,

"Dynamometer - the highest scorer, Erstein Giant.'

The bottom was a much humanized appearance of words.

'Way of measuring: strike the surface of the crystal with full body power. One person at a time. '

The number of people who entered this stele was about thirty. It was very few. Most of them went to the stele of the Energy Machinists from big sects to watch them and have their test.

"I'll go first!" A fat, muscled-body man came out. He had sharp dragon spikes on his back. No idea what kind of mammal genes he had implanted in himself. He looked like a tyrannical Spinosaurus, swaying as he walked.

The fat man shook the two pieces of flesh in front of his chest. He actually was a woman!

A strong smell of sweat pervaded the air and caused the surrounding Energy Machinists to cover their noses.

"Miss Gazette of the Giant Sect. Tsk tsk. The medium-sized sect powerhouse ranked number 306 in the whole of Northern Yu Province." Faint voices sounded from the midst of the Energy Machinists. Even though their volume was small, the people present here was not weak and naturally, they could hear it clearly.

The fat woman, who was two meters tall, stood firm on both feet. She took a few steps back and after a quick run-up, rolled over and slammed into the crystal like a flesh bomb.

Boom!!

A muffled loud sound.

The crystal did not move. The fat woman was adhered to the crystal stele. Her entire back was directly attached to the surface of the crystal and the spikes behind her back jabbed into the crystal, like they had sunk in.

She pulled out the spikes and turned around to look at the value displayed on the surface of the crystal.

'Round number 4.5 tons. Passed.' The crystal showed the degree of strength.

"Well, just barely." The fat woman proudly tottered away.

The second person was a thin man. He walked forward with a grim face. After a moderate run-up, he slammed his shoulders fiercely at the crystal.

After a faint sound.

'1.5 tons. Failed.'

Sigh...

The thin man sighed. This was his first time participating and without any information about the test, he did not expect this. He could only leave in dejection and walked to the losers' area.

The third person, a young little girl.

0.6 tons.

This value was considered not bad for the little girl. Looking at her outfit and the shabby Experimental Energy Machinery with her, one would know that she had a poor family background, so this result was quite good.

The fourth, fifth, sixth...

The testers stepped forward one after another and the value kept changing. Apart from the first fat woman, there was only one skinny-like-a-bamboo-stick person with pale white skin who hit out a five-ton terrific force and passed directly.

Garen soon stood up.

Facing the crystal stele, he took a deep breath. He had not used any gene modification fluids. Desiring to hit out a strong force might be a little impossible.

However, luckily there was still a special force technique he could use. And with the three points of physical fitness, theoretically he should be able to pass the test.

Strength and force of impact were different concepts. Even with insufficient strength, as long as there was enough speed, it might also produce sufficient strength to clear the level, and so the crystal stele was not very rigid.

Slowly withdrawing hundreds of meters, Garen took a deep breath and burst into full speed.

Whoosh!

He instantly turned into a shadow and darted straight to the crystal.

The fat woman and the skinny who was just casually watching from the side were slightly alert now.

"This speed, it should be good. Although the strength probably won't make it, but this speed should be able to make up for it and pass." The fat woman pinched the soft flesh under her chin and whispered.

"Gazette, maybe this guy can hit out a stronger value than you, believe it or not?" The skinny smiled.

"This is purely a test of strength. Do you think it's about comprehensive ability? Others are counted in? If he can surpass me, I promise to not kill you with a punch!" Gazette smirked and her two small eyes glimmered fiercely.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you." The skinny sneered. "You don't even have the guts to gamble. You're just as timid as a mouse. It's no wonder that Venardo has always looked down upon you."

Both were comprehensive ability powerhouses with ranking and they had a certain fame in the entire Northern Yu Province, so naturally they could see that the Willpower fluctuation on Garen was very strong, having reached Level Four. However, this was a test on strength. Gazette of course would not be defeated.

"I never bet with anyone." Gazette did not care about the other party's teasing. Instead, she moved her gaze to the direction of Garen.

Boom!

Garen hit a punch right in the middle of the crystal. A great seismic force returned and his whole body quavered.

'3.2 tons. Passed.' The value was shown above the crystal.

Garen calmly came down. He had hit out with all his strength, but he still could not achieve a higher level. Physical fitness was once the aspect that he was proud of, but in contrast with the powerful modified bodies around him, most of these Energy Machinists who had never cultivate but only relied on gene fluids could reach such heights and even surpass him. This made Garen desire for the gene fluid in his heart.

He had never drank the gene fluid. If he could really get this stuff, the advancement he could attain would definitely be extremely powerful. He did not gave much importance to this path before, but now that he had realized it, it was still not too late.

"3.2 tons. Barely made it through. Still manageable, but it's a bit weak as compared to other Level Four Energy Machinists." Gazette shook her head in disappointment.

The skinny on her side also looked away to others.

There was another person from the remaining people who also barely passed like Garen with just over three tons.

According to Garen's conversion calculation, his average quality of strength and speed had reached three points. If it can be fully played out, he should be able to produce a steady effect of three tons. Perhaps this was the meaning of the rule that an average three-point quality could pass, which means that this was the passing line.

"It turns out that I was just passing. That's really..." Garen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Dozens of people entered the stele in the first stage but only four passed, including Garen.

Of the four people, Gazette and the skinny were both more than four tons in strength and they still seemed to have some more energy.

Garen and the other person just barely passed the mark.

After the test, the four people instantly disappeared from the first stage test hall. Light was shining.

Garen suddenly found himself in another larger and wider, huge black hall. The ground was a metal that was constantly flowing with blue arcs. The top was still a black stone wall.

The same crystal from just now seemed to have become bigger.

The old white-bearded man in red briefs was still painted on it. He was showing his front face this time, bending his arms downwards, bulging his arm muscles and making the standard movement of a Mr. Bodybuilder. His mouth was opened slightly, his teeth shining white.

Garen looked around and found that other than the four of them, other people had also gathered together. The number was about hundred over.

Just now, the scale of thousands of people was now left with so little.

Nora and the people of Dragon Eye Sect were also present. March, along with Yiling and the others were also here. Wade and the group from Nine Owl Sect were also gathered together and seemed to have passed.

The number in these groups hardly decreased and this startled Garen. This was the quality of the high-level Big Three Sects. Although the comprehensive combat ability of some of them might not be as good as him, their physical modification had undoubtedly preceded him.

"The second test, Speed. The modification toward one's self should be all-rounded. The test will be conducted after ten minutes. The reward of passing the first stage will be awarded now according to the results."

"There is a reward at this time?" Garen was stunned. Did not they say that it will only be given after passing all the first stage fitness tests?
