Chapter 7: Neural Responses

Let me put it this way: those historical figures with rare records, once awakened, are mostly spiritual masters! Data like that of Yang Tong is unprecedented

"Put on this helmet." The teacher, who was testing neural responses, handed over a helmet that resembled a motorcycle safety helmet from a previous life. However, the helmet had an antenna-like protrusion. In front of me was an unfamiliar machine, reminiscent of an arcade game from a previous life, with a distinct screen that was flickering with a soft glow

"It's not bad, at least you can graduate," Yang Tong said. The requirements for graduating from the primary academy are an average punching power of 200 kilograms (with a maximum of 300 kilograms), moderate explosive power (with the highest being excellent), a speed of 70 (with a maximum of 100), endurance of 70 (with a maximum of 100), and a neural reaction of 70 (with a maximum of 100). Graduation can be achieved with these scores. Aside from endurance, which has always been assessed at every grade level, the other assessments will take place today. Endurance of 70 (with a maximum of 100) and a neural reaction of 70 (with a maximum of 100) are sufficient for graduation. Of course, the graduation requirements for the intermediate academy are naturally much higher.

Yang Tong put on the helmet and immediately felt a darkness before his eyes. He seemed to find himself on a stone bridge only two meters wide, with a straight passage ahead, the distance unknown.

Yang Tong held his results and the *illustration* book, feeling that there was nothing wrong, only somewhat surprised that his scores were so good. He did not realize that the value of 260 was truly terrifying. It is known that for a Level 3 trainee martial artist, a neural response of 80 is considered excellent, 90 is regarded as a genius, 100 is the genius among geniuses, and anything exceeding 100 is rarely seen in history.

"How much do you have?" Yang Tong asked, though he did not reveal his full strength.

The average punching force is only 240 kilograms, with moderate explosive power, Feng Xiaobo sighed

The principal's office, being able to become the principal of East District Academy, naturally indicates considerable strength. In fact, the principal of East District is a well-known Earth-level martial artist who has held this position for one hundred years.

Yang Tong possesses the consciousness of a modern individual in the 21st century, yet he truly cannot comprehend how such a long history has developed. Is it possible that there is not the slightest class conflict between the upper nobility and the lower populace

As soon as the words were spoken, countless stones and wooden stakes of varying sizes came crashing down from the front

After a while, it was his turn to test his speed. The speed tester was a treadmill, which would provide accurate data and *charts* based on the running speed of the individual

Really? The normally composed Principal Long was also taken aback; a Level 3 apprentice warrior having a value of 260 is truly astonishing. This has already set a new historical record for the Huangyu Kingdom

"No, I must report this to the school authorities," the exam teacher thought. He simply called in another teacher to temporarily replace him for the subsequent testing, while he himself turned and rushed towards the principal's office with Yang Tong's report card in hand

Your score is quite impressive, reaching as high as 260, which exceeds the maximum value by more than double, truly astonishing. The teacher said, "The report card will be kept with me; you may leave now and find your homeroom teacher to collect the number for the practical assessment." The teacher's attitude became noticeably more courteous.

"Absolutely true! This is his report card." Tie Bing handed Yang Tong's report card to Principal Long

Yang Tong's first reaction was to evade, and he soon realized that his evasion speed was much faster than before. He then understood that this was not the real world, but rather a virtual one, where the speed of neural response determined how quickly one could dodge, unaffected by the limitations of the body

Finally, it comes to the neural response. This neural response is indeed an extremely abstract piece of data. Yang Tong could not have anticipated that this world could accurately test it, which demonstrates the remarkable level of technological advancement in this world.

How long is the history of the Huangyu Kingdom? The Huangyu Kingdom has existed since the opening of the continent, boasting a long history of over 70 million years! This depth of history is sufficient to cause a complete collapse of Yang Tong's worldview from his previous life. On Earth, the most ancient civilizations have only existed for a little over 7,000 years, and there have been interruptions. The Huangyu Kingdom surpasses that by ten thousand times, without any interruptions.

"Tester, shortly there will be many obstacles such as stones coming towards you. You just need to dodge them at your fastest speed." A mechanical voice sounded

Other data on Yang Tong indicates that he is merely a Level 3 trainee martial artist. However, he possesses a neural response value of 260. What does this signify

"Of course, if I can't even graduate, then haven't I wasted these past few years?" Feng Xiaobo said proudly. Although he could not compare to Yang Tong and Di Xuanluo, he was not considered inferior among this group of classmates

Avoiding obstacles is not merely a simple act of evasion; it also requires consideration of where to evade in order to more easily and effectively deal with the subsequent obstacles. This necessitates a very rapid processing speed of awareness

"Principal Long, this is Tie Bing. May I come in?" The teacher testing the neural responses arrived at the door of the principal's office and knocked, calling out.

Oh, by the way, the average natural lifespan of humans in the mainland is extremely high. Generally, an apprentice-level martial artist at the ninth rank has a natural lifespan of around 130 years, which falls within the normal human range. However, after awakening and becoming an Earth-level powerhouse, their lifespan doubles to about 300 years. Additionally, for every level an Earth-level powerhouse ascends, not only does their strength increase, but their lifespan also extends slightly. A ninth-level Earth martial artist can achieve a natural lifespan of 400 years. Therefore, it is not unusual for this principal to have served for a hundred years.

"What is it? Come in." A calm voice came from inside, and at the same time, the door to the principal's office opened by itself

Yang Tong smiled and did not say much more

The principal took a look at the report card and sighed, "Oh, it really is the case. However, what a pity..." With such talent, if awakened, there is almost an 80% chance of becoming a Mind Master. If the Eastern District Academy could produce a Mind Master, it would gain fame, and he would also receive commendation from above. Unfortunately, awakening has a certain probability and is not guaranteed for those with talent. Although artificial awakening has been realized, this method is extremely costly and has no possibility of widespread application. The Kingdom of Huangyu lacks such technology, and even if it existed, it would not be used on this background-less youth.

After a while, Feng Xiaobo also finished testing his strength and came over, enviously saying: "You are truly impressive; your strength has increased a bit more."

Yang Tong assumed a stable stance, using both fists, and within five seconds delivered ten punches.

Yang Tong then proceeded to queue at the location for testing speed

Average punching power: 310 kilograms, explosive strength rated as excellent, very good, quite impressive. The teacher recording the results praised, "Next."

Yang Tong removed the helmet and handed it to the teacher

Yang Tong achieved a high score of 90 in this area, which is still not reflective of his full potential

Principal, I have discovered a student whose neural response is as high as 260. He is merely a twelve-year-old junior graduate, with only the level of a third-tier apprentice martial artist.

It is unclear how much time has passed, but after Yang Tong finally reached his limit and was struck, he did not feel any pain. He immediately regained his usual vision and heard the instructor's voice in his ears: "You can take off the helmet now"
