Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 100: Internal Examination for Membership
Golden Apostle! Black Knife!
After integrating the three life souls and raising his potential to the legendary gold, Black Blade seemed to have gained a lot of insights, and stood motionless in the gravity room.
Fang You opened Brother Black Knife’s panel and looked at it carefully.

Golden potential, double talents!
Improvement actually depends on potential and the future. The higher the potential and the stronger the talent, the easier it is to increase the basic two dimensions, and it will be easier to break through when awakening than others.
Talent affects the long term, but the current combat power improvement is not so...
“Well, it’s still pretty big actually.”
"When Black Blade and Silver Bell were upgraded from blue potential to purple potential, they only gained one more talent, but from purple to gold, it's more than that."
"In addition to the talent of 'Undying Will', Black Blade's physique and spirit have also been greatly improved. Now Black Blade is the undisputed number one in 2D... After all, his instructor talent has increased his 2D a lot, which is also a reflection of the difference in potential. Putting aside those skills, Black Blade's basic 2D is also far beyond the third awakening, and he can be easily defeated without using any skills."
"And this time the instructor's talent has also been improved, specifically..."
He checked.
Basically, the radiation range and duration of the instructor's talent have been improved. Now, even if Hei Dao is out on a mission for a few days, the trainees in the training base can still enjoy the instructor's bonus effects.
At the same time, Heidao can also get training feedback from students.
A little bit stronger.
As for the talent of Undying Will, the description is a bit mysterious, but just what has been manifested so far is already...
Just now, at the moment when the potential of the black knife was improved, his proficiency in blade slashing also broke through and reached the extraordinary level.
This saved a precious purple-level skill training card.
"Transcendent into Saint, this seems to be the highest level of proficiency. Black Blade has practiced the Blade Slash to the extreme. I wonder how terrifying this Blade Slash is."
He kind of wanted to try it.
But after thinking about it, Brother Black Knife seemed to be having an epiphany at this moment and could not be disturbed.
He left quietly.
It has absolutely nothing to do with worrying about not being able to win or anything like that.
He is an invincible torchbearer.
…
Xing Jinglei and others were not aware of Black Knife's potential breakthrough, let alone the ordinary students training in the base.
But when the students tested their progress in the evening, they found out...
"My physical fitness has increased by 0.26 today, which is more than yesterday. Awesome! Does this mean that I have a promising future?!"
"According to conventional theory, the growth rate of physical strength is definitely getting slower and slower. If today's improvement is greater than yesterday's, it does mean that unknown potential has been tapped, which is a good sign."
"The results are out, my physical strength increased by 0.03 units today compared to yesterday!"
"I have too much."
"Me too!"
"???"
The student who was about to laugh wildly with joy just now suddenly froze.
Although everyone has been promoted, which is a good thing, why aren't we as happy as before?
hateful!
"There is only one truth: the nutritious meal we had today has been upgraded."
“But the taste hasn’t changed.”
"You mean the nutrient solution?"
“It’s just as bitter.”
"But given the bitter taste of the nutrient solution, even if there is any change, it would be hard to taste it. After all, it's still bitter."
"Emmmm, I thought I could sneak a little ahead this time, but everyone ran away."
The gap remains unchanged.
There is not the slightest advantage in the membership assessment!
Nowadays, the difficulty of joining the association is getting higher and higher with each issue!
I heard that earlier, as long as the students met the standards and passed the assessment, they could officially join the association, meet the mentor, and be granted status.
This is the earliest one.
Later, the assessment became more complicated and the difficulty was also increased. It was said that this was because there were fewer people at the beginning, so the standards were relaxed.
Later on, that is, now, to join the club, one must not only pass the assessment, but also rank in the top ten, top eight, or even top six in the current assessment to be eligible for membership.
The number of places for one session is limited!
If you are not good enough or strong enough, you will be squeezed out.
The nameless extra ranked 33rd in the last assessment. This ranking seems good. At first glance, it seems that he will be able to join the club .
But that’s not actually how it’s calculated.
Those who come after him may surpass him, especially those newcomers who have just arrived at the training base but are very talented. They may not be ranked high at the beginning, but they are improving very quickly.
A certain extra knows a guy who ranked 9th in the previous assessment and failed to be selected by one place.
But in the last assessment, the brother who was ranked No. 1 among the students was surpassed by several students from later batches and once again missed the chance to officially join the club.
And next issue...
Well, hundreds of new recruits arrived three days ago, and there are more and more monster new recruits among them. I heard that someone’s improvement after two days of training is comparable to their improvement after more than ten or twenty days of training.
The old man was desperate.
As for him, "It is difficult to join the club, as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Extra Zhou has given up hope, but it is impossible for him to give up. As a inheritor of the torch, there is no way he can give up.
What can I do? Just keep training!
In the words of the instructor, as long as you don't die from training, you should keep training until you die. One day, your persistent training will reward you.
Even if there is no reward, as long as you do it, at least you won't have any regrets.
“Fuck!”
"Run another thirty laps!"
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, good news, great news."
A new guy ran up to him at a speed of 11 seconds per 100 meters, took a breath and said, "Instructor Xu just announced an important news."
Heidao is the chief instructor.
Xu Tian, Fan Anyuan and others have now been promoted to instructors at the training base, responsible for various affairs... After all, Heidao never takes care of these.
"Instructor Xu, Xu said that in addition to the entrance examination, a new examination will be launched. As long as you pass the examination, you will become a quasi-formal member of Xinhuo, and... and it seems that you can also get the opportunity to awaken!"
Awakening opportunity!
Extraordinary power!
Zhou's eyes lit up. The reason why he came to this training base without hesitation and why he could persevere in the hard training was because of his extraordinary power!
Of course, not entirely. Part of the reason is because everyone is persisting, and more importantly, it is because the world is facing a disaster. Only by becoming stronger can we protect our families and the world.
But supernatural powers are still his, and are the dream of many students!
The new guy couldn't explain it clearly, so Zhou immediately went to the place where the notice was posted. There were already quite a few people watching there, and Zhou tried to squeeze in, but even though he was physically strong , he couldn't get in.
There are no chickens here!
He is depressed.
Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. It was a student's phone. He opened it and saw that the announcement had been synchronized to the training base's app.
"Notice on awakening standards and pre-assessment"
The notice didn’t contain much content, and the instructors wrote it simply and clearly.
"To put it simply, those of us who are not officially Xinhuo can also get the opportunity to awaken, but the chance is not 100%, and the process will be a little dangerous."
"The path of mysterious awakening is inherently dangerous. We will have to face evil spirits in the future, which is also dangerous. What's the big deal? Those who are afraid of danger will not stay here."
"But it's not a question of whether it's dangerous or not, but we have to meet certain standards to get this opportunity, and the standards are not low."
Physical strength needs to be greater than 2.5, and mental strength needs to be greater than 1.3. At the same time, at least one of the basic skills such as swordsmanship, boxing, and gunmanship must reach the proficient level.
It also depends on will.
This assessment tests the mastery of basic skills and the strength of will.
The requirements are indeed not low, almost catching up with the standards for membership assessment.
The only thing that made Zhou and others feel relieved was that the awakening assessment would be passed as long as the standards were met, and there was no tight quota limit.
"Wait a minute, students who pass the awakening test are semi-formal members, and if semi-formal members want to become full members, they still need to take the admission test. In this case..."
"Fuck! The entrance examination will be even harder from now on!"
…
There is one more awakening assessment, an awakening opportunity that is not so far away, and all the students in the training base are excited.
Newbies may not feel it so deeply, and the opportunity to awaken is still out of their reach.
But it’s different for old students.
Especially elite students like Zhou, who seemed to be getting closer to the chance of joining the club time and time again, but were surpassed by the monster newcomers time and time again.
There are too many monsters in this training base!
They are under a lot of pressure.
Are they not working hard enough and improving slowly? Neither! They are improving very fast, one day at a time, but the new monsters... they are not human!
Nowadays, the entrance examination may become more and more complicated, but at least, those with extraordinary powers have a chance.
Today!
The students from the Investigation Bureau were also very excited.
They can't join the guild, and don't need to compete with the monster newcomers of Xinhuo, but...
Compared with students of ordinary backgrounds, these investigators are more aware of the difficulty of awakening and are more eager to awaken than anyone else.
Now there is an opportunity.
"Xinhuo has a special awakening method!"
"But this not only requires us to pass the assessment, it seems we have to pay extra."
They can enjoy all the benefits of being a student.
But the opportunity to awaken is a quasi-formal benefit, and Xinhuo has to guide them to awaken and ensure their safety, which must cost a lot.
They train here and improve rapidly, which is already a profit, and the extra payment for the awakening opportunity is very reasonable.
The investigators looked at Yang Chang.
Yang Chang nodded, "I have already negotiated with Instructor Fan. Those who meet the requirements should go and sign up. This is also to test your training results. Don't be outdone by ordinary people in Xinhuo."
"Don't worry, Yangtou."
“That’s a must!”
"We have been training for such a long time and have experienced many battles. How can we be outdone by the flowers in the greenhouse?"
"Restore the glory of investigation, today!"
