CH 222

The next day.

Just before noon.

Rode stepped into the largest military training base in the northern part of the Inner City of Westland.

This is a military base for all official combat personnel, with the most complete training facilities and the best combat grounds.

It has hundreds of medium and small training grounds, dozens of large training grounds, and one super large training ground.

Standing in front of the gate, the white jade floor and oval buildings stretched as far as the eye could see. A large number of logistics personnel in blue uniforms and combat personnel in various battle robes were walking between the buildings, with carts and carriages of all sizes mixed in, and floating spirit cars shuttling back and forth in the sky, presenting a busy scene.

Rode's combat rating venue is located in the 7th large training ground.

The combat rating is public, and everyone can watch freely.

The fifth level is the highest level for intermediate combat personnel, just one step away from the advanced level. The audience is generally not few, and there are usually crystal recordings of the battle images. If there are outstanding performances, they will be publicly displayed as excellent examples.

When Rode stepped through the gate of the training ground, he was surprised to find that there were many more spectators than he had imagined.

The circular platform was crowded with people, and he could barely squeeze in.

Accompanied by Soren, he smiled and said, "Rode, look, everyone is paying so much attention to you. When I was undergoing the third-level rating, there weren't even half as many people as you."

Curiously, Rode asked, "What kind of monsters do you have to challenge for the third-level rating?"

Soren smiled and shook his head, "There are no monsters to fight for levels five and above. It takes a huge amount of manpower and resources to capture and preserve monsters intact under the royal city. The advanced combat ratings are all indirect verifications of your combat power."

"In that case, won't some of my moves be useless?"

Soren laughed, "Kid, think about the advanced combat ratings after you pass the fifth-level combat rating."

He pushed through the crowd and shouted, "Make way, make way, the test subject is here!"

Countless eyes immediately focused on Rode.

The Grand Judges Amoli, Krama, and Vere, who were hidden in the upper box, also saw the guy they hated so much.

Vere sneered, "This kid who hasn't even grown a full beard, still wants to pass the fifth-level rating?"

Krama also shook his head and said, "It seems that our preparations were in vain, and we wasted so much money and effort."

Amoli said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate him too much. It was he who killed Greygrove on the spot, causing our Grand Judges' reputation to plummet."

Vere sneered, "With so many people here, I can go down now and avenge Greygrove."

Amoli warned him with a stern look, "Don't do such things within the royal city. The big eyes of the White Tower can track the soul fluctuations of all combat personnel of level seven and above, and you will be caught immediately."

"Hmph, that big eye shouldn't exist, at least our high-level personnel shouldn't be allowed to be tracked."

"It doesn't matter, he will be severely injured even if he doesn't die in this rating."

"When he loses his value, we can do whatever we want to him."

"I want to cut off his flesh and grind it into red crystals, extract his soul and filter out his spirituality. The soul that has been modified by Theodore must be very rich in spirituality."

"Hahaha."

All three of them laughed.

Rode had completed the pre-rating process and jumped down from the circular platform, standing in the central combat arena.

Before the rating began, there was a routine test by the Mechanical Research Institute.

A big-bearded man pushed a complete set of spiritual energy instruments and began the test.

"Starfire sequence, six fire seeds."

"Black rice bucket, grass, rapid fire."

"Uh... this is a white slurry lake."

Rode angrily said, "Spiritual boat, spiritual boat! Are you mentally handicapped?"

"Non-professionals, shut up!"

The rating committee also reminded, "The test subject should not interfere with the normal testing behavior of the tester."

"Its function is to spray white slurry-like objects that wrap around the whole body, allowing for spiritual realm travel, and it's very fast, but this fire seed has a usage interval."

The audience burst into laughter, and many people had bad associations.

Soren sighed, "Another new fire seed that I have never seen before. This kid always takes an unconventional approach."

"The fifth fire seed, soul moan."

"Its function should be to provide a large amount of spiritual energy. This is a spiritual energy fire seed... but what does it have to do with moaning? Uh, maybe moaning can stimulate its growth?"

On the platform, Soren rubbed his chin, thinking seriously about something.

There were strange discussions in the crowd, and many people became unusually excited.

Rode glared at him, hoping he would sense his resentment.

But the big-bearded man seemed oblivious and continued, "The sixth fire seed, sensitive touch!"

Rode covered his face, feeling that his reputation was about to be ruined.

How did these weird translations survive to this day?

Translating "Lament of the Spirit" into "Soul Moan," and "Divine Sense" into "Sensitive Touch," it's simply absurd and ridiculous.

"Uh... its function should make your body more sensitive..."

The big-bearded man's voice became somewhat less confident, and he poked Rode, who showed no reaction, and looked at him expressionlessly.

"No, no, it should make your perception more acute."

There was an instant exclamation from the platform.

Spiritual vision and perception are both very important attributes for fire wielders.

Spiritual vision can see through illusions and fog, and perceive the most essential flow of spirits.Rode can perceive the most subtle ripples and gain more information in advance.

But unfortunately, most people are like stone and wood, with few people having high spiritual vision and even fewer having high perception.

And at such a young age, he actually possesses both high spiritual vision and high perception, which is truly enviable.

The three chief judges' faces darkened, and they became even more determined to stop him from passing the evaluation.

Only Rode knew that he was just talking nonsense.

The essence of the divine sense is to inspire him in the learning process, quickly grasp knowledge and skills.

Sensitivity, perception, it's all nonsense.

After that, the bearded man tested him for spiritual power and issued a report.

Spiritual power level: 5

Highest spiritual power intensity: 37 thousand marks

Maximum spiritual power output: 7 thousand marks

Average spiritual pressure: 1915

Estimated total spiritual power: 5110 thousand marks

Considering his age, this data is very impressive. Considering that he has only been a Firebearer for about half a year, this data is even more incredible.

Amidst the waves of amazement, the evaluation committee announced the start of the evaluation.

The evaluation of the battle is divided into three parts: basic trial, knowledge trial, and practical trial.

The basic trial mainly tests his basic skills, standard tactical movements, footwork, skills, and spiritual power usage, etc.

During this time, Rode has already solidified his basic skills with the inspiration of the divine sense, and can even teach new recruits and formal team members in the base.

Side flips, hand flips, somersaults, swallow-style balance, and Qiaocta steps, all tactical movements are perfect.

The four evaluation committee members looked at each other and couldn't find any flaws, so they had to reluctantly give him a full score.

It wasn't until the last part that a member of the evaluation committee finally showed a smile.

This was a large black crystal that needed to be filled with spiritual power.

But this crystal had been tampered with, its bottom was leaking, like a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled no matter how much spiritual power was poured in.

In the upper box, Chief Judge Amoli smiled and said, "This part is definitely a zero."

"After the test, destroy it quickly, so as not to be caught."

"Even if suspected, it can only be clarified in the next evaluation."

"Hahaha, look at that fool, he's still charging."

"Does he think his spiritual power is unlimited?"

"Maybe he'll drain his spiritual power and die on the spot."

But gradually, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Below.

Rode's whole body lit up, and the misty light of spiritual power engulfed his figure, pouring into the black crystal in a surging manner.

But despite such a strong infusion of spiritual power, the bottom of the black crystal still couldn't light up, and anyone with keen eyes could see that there was a problem.

Soren sternly shouted, "This crystal is faulty! Someone is up to something!"

A member of the evaluation committee said coldly, "May I ask, do you need to stop the test for inspection?"

Soren fell silent for a few seconds and closed his mouth.

According to the rules, once the evaluation is interrupted, this evaluation will be invalidated and must be reapplied for.

The Westland military base is already full, and it's unknown which month the next evaluation will be.

A thought came to Soren's mind: "Someone is targeting Rode!"

It was no longer possible to stop, so they could only hope that Rode would achieve better results in the remaining items.

But, things went beyond everyone's expectations.

Rode's spiritual power seemed endless, and he crazily poured it into the crystal, far exceeding the estimated data given by the test.

No one knew when the venue became quiet, and everyone was watching Rode.

What they didn't know was that Rode was laughing in his heart.

Just as I have prepared the Unlimited Use of "Awakening," the void has already lent me so much spiritual power, so what's a little more?

So he used "Awakening" madly, pouring spiritual power into it desperately, refusing to believe that it couldn't be filled.

The air began to tremble, and the light in the entire training ground became unstable.

Suddenly, a member of the evaluation committee exclaimed, "The spiritual power crystal at the bottom of the training ground is overloaded!"

"Quick! Stop it!"

But Rode had already entered a state of intense concentration and paid no attention.

The ground began to tremble, and the entire Westland military base felt the vibration. The supervisor's spiritual power communication immediately reached Training Ground No. 7.

"What are you doing? What's with such a large amount of spiritual power?"

A member of the evaluation committee hurriedly said, "Sir, it's an accident!"

"No matter what accident!" The supervisor's face turned pale with anger. "Stop it immediately, or you will all be thrown into the dungeon!"

"Yes, yes." A member of the evaluation committee gestured, and another member hurriedly left his seat.

After a while, the leak at the bottom of the black crystal was forcibly sealed, and the black crystal was instantly filled.

The evaluation committee immediately announced, "Testing completed, full marks for all basic tests."

A logistics personnel quickly dragged the black crystal away.

Soren's eyes flashed with cold light as he turned and left the platform.

Rode stretched his shoulder blades and felt that this evaluation was a bit more challenging than he had imagined.

The three chief judges looked at each other, and their faces were not very good.

Vere smiled and said, "It's okay, for the next knowledge trial, I have specially selected the most difficult questions in the past thirty years, all the most obscure, most tricky, and lowest pass rate knowledge points. He won't be able to answer them."

Surprisingly, Rode accurately answered all the questions, including: "What was the turning point of the Stone City Battle in 1301?"

"The ten aliases of the Guardian Fire."

"The thirty-three ways of using spiritual power.""The Origin and Continuation of Thalorian."

"Why is the calendar called the Thesrivian Common Era?"

"The times and impacts of the two great extinctions in history."

"Please state all sixty celestial aspects and their derivative changes."

The answer was impeccably standard, not a single word more than necessary.

The Book of Knowledge is truly remarkable, Rode thought gleefully, an absolute boon for exams.

Only the final and most crucial trial remained.

The Grand Judge Vere chuckled, "He's as good as dead. This is a giant crawler that has devoured five hundred portions of specially prepared decay matter, which I acquired at great cost. It has now reached the threshold of mutation, with its psychic energy boiling and corruption intense. Even if the boy doesn't die, he'll be deeply infected."

Klarama looked at the monster rising from the bottom of the combat arena, asking with slight unease, "Why are there so many flaws on its spirit body?"

Vere laughed, "That's because its soul power has surged too quickly. The psychic energy has spiked too much in a short time. Don't worry, some flaws are negligible. Soon we'll see that boy die a miserable death..."

Bang!

A thunderous boom as if from the void echoed throughout the venue.

The giant crawler collapsed onto the ground like a puddle of mud, turning to ash.

From the moment it was released from its cage, only three seconds had passed.

A dark line entered his chest, and Rode was surprised to find that it had a vast amount of soul energy that did not match its feeble strength.

Soulless Soul +123330

The original demon dragon only had 360,000, and so many of us fought for so long to kill it.

This creature was instantly killed by me and had a third of the demon dragon's soul energy?

Rode was delighted, licked his lips, and asked, "Mr. Examiner, do you have any more?"

For some reason, Rode felt that the faces of the four rating committee members seemed a bit distorted.

The stands were eerily quiet, even the rating guards were staring agape.

Suddenly, one of the rating committee members shouted, "Full marks, the rating is over."

The other three seemed to awaken from a dream, hastily giving full marks, writing comments, and quickly scurrying away.

A few logistics personnel came up, had him sign a few documents, completed some procedures, and then escorted him out of the training ground.

"Eh? That's it? I passed? Can't we have a few more?"
