Chapter 258: Snatch? 180,000 Transcendent Value?!

As Ren Jie's words fell silent, the atmosphere in the classroom instantly quieted down.

The students who had been enthusiastic just now now had many showing worried expressions.

In high school, classes were divided into elite, key, and ordinary based on exam scores; they worried that the transcendent value test now would be the same.

Ren Jie had anticipated the students' reaction and now gave a faint smile.

"Students of this major, please remember during your university studies that the school is not an arena where strength determines hierarchy, but a place for teaching and nurturing."

"The content of the Transcendent Combat Major is the practical application of combat techniques and transcendent theory; this knowledge enables you to exert greater combat power when transcendent values are equal, but the level of transcendent value does not affect everyone's learning."

"On the contrary, for students with lower transcendent value who perform outstandingly in later studies, the school will also reward Dream World resources to help them increase their transcendent value more quickly."

Upon hearing this, the students who had been worried each had their eyes light up.

Ren Jie smiled and then dropped another bombshell.

"You should all have watched Luo's battle video from yesterday; in the video, Luo used a power you've heard of—that is Spirit Descent."

"But Spirit Descent is not an unattainable goal for you all."

"After a player advances to Elite Tier, carrying three active skills of the same Spirit Beast, they can unlock that Spirit Beast's Spirit Descent under Resonance III effect."

"Once affinity reaches 100%, mastering the Ultimate Skill allows the use of Spirit Descent."

"You will have a required course later called Spirit Beast Affinity Theory; experiments have shown that this course guides the increase of Spirit Beast Affinity, allowing you to avoid detours and reach 100% affinity more quickly."

"Our Transcendent Combat Department has a specially appointed instructor named Ji Huai; this name may be unfamiliar to you, but mentioning 'Wuchi' will surely ring a bell."

"He is the fourth Hall Tier player in the world and also the first player globally to master Spirit Descent."

"As long as affinity meets the requirement, one can receive guidance from Instructor Ji."

"I've heard that mastering a Spirit Descent could be one of your graduation requirements."

Upon hearing this, the already invigorated students' eyes instantly shone.

With the appearance of secret realms in Dream World, reaching Elite Tier is no longer a problem.

As long as you find a reliable guild and actively conquer C-rank secret realms, promotion is merely a matter of time.

If the issues of affinity and Ultimate Skill can also be resolved, Spirit Descent could truly become a power everyone can master in the near future.

Just thinking about that possibility made the freshmen who had just entered society become overly excited.

A flicker of smile flashed in Ren Jie's eyes.

Presenting facts and reasoning while drawing pies.

Freshmen are still easy to handle.

"The topic has drifted a bit." Ren Jie coughed lightly, "In short, dividing by strength is merely to facilitate practical sparring among students and other teaching activities; don't overthink it."

"Next, we'll go to the Transcendent Value test site."

——

The Transcendent Value test was arranged to take place in an indoor stadium.

Sixteen devices, somewhat resembling height-weight scales but far more complex, were lined up in a row, each operated by dedicated personnel.

The Transcendent Combat Major has a total of sixteen classes, each forming a line to come forward one by one for the Transcendent Value test.

At this moment, over eight hundred students were ready, looking at the equipment ahead with anticipation and nervousness.

They also wanted to know where their strength stood among their peers.

After a teacher explained the test precautions with a megaphone, the test began shortly.

Not long after, a burst of exclamations came from near one device in the testing area.

"Transcendent Value twenty-eight thousand, Liu Yunchu of Class 3 is actually an Elite Tier player!"

"Yeah, he wears glasses and doesn't speak much; you really couldn't tell."

"…"

Player Level is fundamentally based on Transcendent Value as the promotion threshold, and there is a large gap in Transcendent Value between different tiers of players.

Therefore, a glance at Transcendent Value makes one's tier immediately clear.

The male student named Liu Yunchu stepped down from the device, adjusted his glasses, hearing the exclamations of other classmates, his face gained a bit more smile.

Upon returning to his class, he quickly received goodwill voluntarily offered by his classmates.

At this stage, Elite Tier players are already the big thighs; you need to cling to them.

Soon, other testing devices also successively detected players at the Elite Tier level.

As students recruited by Yan Da, Elite Tier may be few but is certainly not rare.

After testing half the teams, almost every class now had one or two Elite Tier players.

Soon, an exclamation rang out across the testing field.

"Holy cow, it's over thirty thousand!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward the source of the sound.

Elite Tier Lv30, Race Value 1w.

So the theoretical upper limit of Transcendent Value for an ordinary Elite Tier player is 3w.

Exceeding 3w only has one possibility.

That is, the opponent has at least one Spirit Beast that has broken through to Hall Tier.

A female student leisurely walked down from the testing device; behind her, the screen on the testing device displaying the test results conspicuously showed the number "32350".

Based on the current average affinity level, this number indicates that the opponent has a Hall Tier Spirit Beast.

One minute later, the female student named Yu Xiaoxiao was remembered by the entire grade, instantly becoming a notable figure among the freshmen.

Not long after, another exclamation came.

Another student with a Transcendent Value exceeding thirty thousand appeared, and even their class shared in the glory.

Compared to other classes, Combat Class 5 was unusually quiet.

Up to now, their class hasn't even had a single elite player appear.

As it happens, Yu Xiaoxiao is in Practical Combat Class 4, right next door to them.

Other classes gradually noticed the situation in Practical Combat Class 5, and they all cast sympathetic glances.

At first, the students of Class 5 could console themselves with the excuse that their experts were all ranked low, but as the extraordinary value test neared its end, Class 5 still had no elite player, and the whole class's expressions grew somewhat awkward.

"Are there any students who haven't been tested yet?"

After testing everyone, the tester shouted.

"Yes yes yes! Wait a moment!"

A figure, somewhat hurried, came rushing in from the gymnasium entrance.

He quickly spotted his three roommates in the crowd, and Qin Chuan dashed to the testing device at a speed that left only an afterimage for others to see, then he let out a breath of relief.

"Good, I made it in time."

"Beep—"

An electronic tone sounded, and Qin Chuan's extraordinary value test data appeared on the screen.

【178800】

Everyone's eyes fell on the screen, and the entire gymnasium instantly fell into dead silence.

Rounded off, that's 180,000 extraordinary value.

They quickly turned their gaze to the boy standing on the testing device.

In the next instant, waves of exclamations rose and fell, as if they would overturn the gymnasium's dome.

Only after belatedly realizing who the classmate that Ren Jie had said was absent due to special circumstances was, the students of Practical Combat Class 5 changed their previous listless atmosphere and straightened their backs.

Luo, ours from our class!
