Chapter 8 Amazing Rewards
"What happened?"
"What happened?!"
Chen Zheng and the others rushed out of the cafeteria and looked up at the sky.
Roar!
A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth. Red clouds rolled across the sky, vaguely revealing scales as bright as gold and a gigantic, mountain-like phantom.
This scene was truly breathtaking.
Just then, everyone's terminals vibrated, receiving a notification from the school.
Three minutes ago, a Celestial Realm Overlord creature rushed out of the dimensional rift, but was blocked by a Celestial Realm expert from the school, who told all the students not to panic.
Meanwhile, the churning clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, restoring calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
"It was actually a tyrant-level creature. Luckily, it was stopped, otherwise who knows how many people would have died." Someone said with relief.
"Dimensional rift!" Looking at the sky that had returned to normal, Chen Zheng murmured solemnly.
The rift that tore open the abyss a hundred years ago was so enormous that it defied description, and the endless polluting energy contained fragments of worlds and planes.
Those world fragments merged with this world, causing the world to expand, and the plane fragments transformed into small worlds.
Although they may seem small, these fragments can span tens of thousands of kilometers, containing complete spaces inhabited by various powerful beasts and even alien creatures, posing a significant threat to the human world.
At the same time, many planes contain abundant resources, such as spiritual herbs and minerals, and many of the resources that students like Chen Zheng use for cultivation come from these places.
As one of the four top martial arts universities in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou University is built on a dimensional rift.
Due to the impact of the dominant creature, the group quickly finished their meal and parted ways.
Back in his dorm, Chen Zheng said to his personal terminal, "Search for the rewards and modes of Jiangzhou University's Virtual Realm Combat Power Ranking."
Although they were in the same university, Chen Zheng focused all his energy on studying last semester and didn't bother to learn about these things.
Swish! The personal terminal on Chen Zheng's wrist flashed, and a virtual page projection appeared.
[Jiangzhou University Power Ranking Rules and Differentiation (Version 0.6)]
The combat power ranking is divided into two parts: the freshman ranking and the overall school combat power ranking.
The freshman list is open only to first-year students, regardless of whether they are from the martial arts department or other departments, and there are 5,000 slots available.
首次进入5000名的新生一次性50积分，3000到2000名之间，每前进100名奖励30积分。
2000到1000名之间每前进100名，奖励40积分，1000到500名，每前进100名奖励60积分。
后面500到100名间进一百名奖励提升至100积分，100到30名之间更是每前进10名就奖励150积分。
Once he reached 30th place, the reward for advancing 10 places increased dramatically to 300 points, making Chen Zheng gasp for breath.
The reward rules change here. The reward for 4th to 10th place is not a one-time reward, but 500 points every month, but you need to accept three challenges every month.
The requirements for the top three are the same, only the rewards are greater: 600 points for third place, 800 for second place, and 1000 for first place, just as Jiang Mo said.
Furthermore, the first freshman to reach the top spot will receive a one-time reward of 10000 points.
hiss!
Chen Zheng took a light breath. He calculated that if he could fight his way into the top ten, he would get a total of 4000 points, which could be exchanged for 181 Fire Orchids.
Last semester, Chen Zheng studied desperately and only earned a little over 200 points to complete his academic tasks.
In comparison, it's no wonder Jiang Mo said that the resources of the martial arts department are ten times that of theirs. Just the rewards from the combat power ranking alone are so many, not to mention other things.
Of course, the martial arts department deserves to have so many resources. Students specializing in martial arts are told that they will have to take on some combat missions in their second year, which is very dangerous.
"Let's get started!" Chen Zheng said excitedly. "Number 1, help me apply for a challenge qualification on the combat power ranking."
"Challenging the combat power rankings requires applying for access to the virtual realm and gaining access to body scanning, blood and qi scanning, and consciousness resonance. Do you wish to apply?"
"Apply."
"Application in progress..."
"Identity: Chen Zheng, freshman of Class 9, Department of Runes, Jiangzhou University, meets the basic requirements."
"Current level: Level 4 Martial Artist, reaching the basic standard."
"Permissions granted. Body scan in progress. Blood and Qi data uploading..." As the personal terminal notification appeared, beams of light swept across Chen Zheng's entire body.
"The first out-of-body experience is about to begin, please do not resist..."
boom!
Chen Zheng's mind was buzzing. A white crystal the size of a grain of rice on his personal terminal was flashing, and the fluctuations it emitted enveloped his consciousness.
At this moment, Chen Zheng inexplicably felt a sense of disorientation, as if his soul had left his body.
Fortunately, the feeling passed quickly, and then the scene in front of him went dark, and he was back in his dormitory—no, not his dormitory, but the virtual world.
"Is this the virtual world? It's so real, I can't feel any illusion at all." Chen Zheng looked at the dark starry sky outside the window, clenched his fist, and exclaimed in amazement.
The Void Realm is said to be a semi-real world created by a powerful human being using a relic treasure, and it covers the entire globe.
All legally registered human cultivators, after meeting the basic requirements, can access the system through their personal terminals and enter with their consciousness.
This is similar to virtual games, but there are some differences.
For example, the connection between the virtual world and the outside world is the cultivator's consciousness, not the network. Ordinary people are too weak to enter through their personal terminals.
For example, Chen Zheng from last semester was unable to enter because his strength did not meet the requirements for a level four martial artist.
At this moment, the wall in front of Chen Zheng disappeared and turned into a virtual projection, on which an introduction to the functions of the virtual world appeared.
The realm, qi and blood, physical strength, and skill level of the projected entity in the virtual world are consistent with those in the real world.
Here, apart from not actually dying, the combat experience is no different from reality.
Pain adjustment: Pain simulation can be adjusted between 0% and 100%. It is recommended to use 80% or higher for actual training, and it can be lowered for daily sparring. The current default is 50%.
Each time a consciousness projection is killed, it will be forcibly exited from the virtual world, and there will be a brief mental shock, the duration of which depends on the strength of the mental power.
Note that each death consumes a significant amount of mental energy and has some negative impact on one's will.
Note that each battle consumes mental energy. Once your mental energy is depleted, you will be unable to continue fighting and will need to exit the virtual realm to rest.
The user's current level is too low. Only random matchmaking and matchmaking for new players based on the power ranking are available. Other sections and functions are unavailable. Would you like to start matchmaking?
The current newcomer power ranking can match opponents ranked between 4900 and 5000.
"Match." Chen Zheng said without hesitation.
"Matching in progress... Matching complete."
brush!
The scene before Chen Zheng changed, and he appeared on a ring that was 100 meters long and wide, with his opponent's basic information appearing before him.
[Ranked 4980th on the Freshman List, Jiang Chong from Class 3 of the Rune Department, Realm: Level 8 Martial Artist]
There are over 4,900 level-eight martial artists! Chen Zheng's lips twitched involuntarily. How could they possibly fight this?
More than ten meters away, a short-haired young man named Jiang Zhong was looking at Chen Zheng with a surprised expression, and Chen Zheng's basic information was also appearing in front of him.
[Chen Zheng, Class 9, Rune Department, Level 4 Martial Artist]
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chong said in a deep voice, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Considering we're both rune users, you should make the first move."
"it is good."
Since we're already here, we might as well fight first. Chen Zheng took a deep breath and lowered his body to assume the first stance of the Serpent Tendon Technique.
Seeing this, Jiang Chong paused again, saying incredulously, "Don't tell me you haven't even mastered a single combat technique before trying to climb the new student rankings?"
"Alright, I almost forgot you're only a level four martial artist. You're only eligible to learn combat techniques after reaching level six."
"Come on, finish this quickly so I can complete this month's challenge mission." Jiang Chong said, his expression turning serious, his gaze sharp as he looked at Chen Zheng.
…………
The next day, as the sun slowly rose, the entire Jiangzhou University was in an uproar.
Countless students emerged from their dormitories and surged along the roads toward their respective departments and classrooms, their youthful energy dispelling the chill of the early morning.
The classroom of Class 9, freshman year of the Rune Department, is a huge classroom with a circular staircase and more than a hundred seats.
When Chen Zheng arrived at the classroom, it was already mostly full. After not seeing each other for the winter break, many of the students were chatting and whispering to each other.
"Chen Zheng, over here." Jiang Mo waved to Chen Zheng from the middle of the classroom, near the window.
As soon as Chen Zheng sat down, Jiang Mo eagerly asked, "So, Chen Zheng, did you go challenge the freshman rankings last night?"
Chen Zheng nodded: "I'm going."
"And the result?"
"Instantly defeated."
The difference between a level four and a level eight martial artist is huge. Although Chen Zheng's basic data shows a punching power of over 600 kilograms, his opponent's should not exceed 1,000 kilograms.
His speed was only slightly faster than his, and he could see clearly and barely keep up with the movements.
But he couldn't stop it. In the instant they clashed, his arm was knocked away by the opponent's punch. The powerful force, like a battering sledgehammer, slammed into his chest, instantly killing him.
"I knew this would happen." Jiang Mo chuckled.
He was already a level 5 martial artist when he enrolled. He heard about the new student ranking list and excitedly went to challenge it, only to be utterly defeated by the student at the bottom of the list.
Later, he checked the information and found that there were more than 20,000 freshmen from all departments in his year, but only 5,000 were on the freshman list.
Most importantly, the bottom 5000 are all at least level eight martial artists.
There are only three thousand freshmen in the Martial Arts Department, and most of them are in the top three thousand, because the minimum admission standard for the Martial Arts Department of Jiangzhou University is eleven-level high-level martial artist.
