Chapter 208 What is a Miracle?

We walked arm in arm to the building where we had registered yesterday.

This is not only the registration office, but also the competition venue.

It looks like a building with a unique design, and it actually has quite a lot of interesting things inside.

However, Chu Yi had already seen a similar scene in the Brass Fortress. It was nothing more than that the space was compressed using some technology, so it looked small but was actually very large.

In fact, Chu Yi was quite satisfied with a competition system like the Test of Loyalty. It was basically from beginning to end, with both 1v1 duels and 1vN melees.

Chu Yi likes any battle. It doesn't require much brainpower. The strong stand and the weak lie down. It is fair and just.

Things like the Emperor Championship Tournament are much more annoying.

It will not only test your military prowess, but also your governance, diplomacy, military affairs and many other areas.

These are not problems that can be solved by muscles alone; they require the use of the brain, and a lot of it.

The most outrageous thing is that many of these exams are written and require a lot of content.

You can only pass if you write well. If you write poorly, you may not even pass the first round.

This is what Chu Yi fears the most.

Yao Hui’s maze almost trapped him to death before. If the system hadn’t provided timely help, he would probably still be stuck in it now.

But the problem is that the system can only answer questions through scanning.

If the examiner asks him a verbal question, or simply puts him in a certain situation and asks him to think of a solution, he will be really at a loss.

What's more, he can only speak Imperial language now and doesn't know any written language.

Chu Yi didn't know how he would perform in the written test with such a bald head.

In fact, he felt quite uncomfortable, thinking that couldn't this Emperor Trial be divided into liberal arts and martial arts, instead of selecting geniuses with both wisdom and courage?

Little do people know that being able to do one thing to perfection is already very rare. There are not so many all-rounders.

Just like the trial of the Eternal Champion, he had to cheat to pass the trial of Demon Wisdom.

Now give him another one, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to cheat.

Chu Yi felt overwhelmed when he thought about the possible dilemma of failing the liberal arts exam in the future.

But there is no other way, I can only perform more in the military science exam, maybe I can earn some impression points then.

After swiping his entry ticket on the entrance device, Chu Yi walked alone into the deep corridor. Romero turned on the optical machine in the waiting area, ready to observe Chu Yi's first battle.

Because there are so many contestants in this Emperor Championship, and the loyalty test is equivalent to the audition for the competition, the number of contestants is even larger, directly in the hundreds of millions.

These are just the local youths of the Empire. The auditions of other civilizations in the universe are all held locally and do not directly compete with the Empire.

If you add all the numbers together, he would believe it if they said it was hundreds of billions or even trillions.

After all, this is a competition for the dominant civilization in the universe to select its rulers. For most people, being able to advance to two or three rounds in the competition can be considered a huge benefit.

Not to mention qualifying for and winning the Emperor Championship, being seen there basically means rapid advancement.

In short, pass the loyalty test first.

To advance to the Emperor Championship, you must win nine games in a row. If you lose one, all your results will be reset to zero and you have to start over again.

Before the game time ends, you will not be eliminated if you lose, but once it ends, you will be eliminated directly even if you have accumulated eight consecutive wins.

Therefore, this level tests the dueling ability of the players. Unless you are extremely lucky, it is impossible to win by grouping and luck.

If you want to stand out, you can only rely on your real abilities.

This is also Chu Yi's favorite way. He has not done anything in the past 18 years and has devoted almost half of his life to the arena.

It's a pity that neither of these two competitions can kill people. Just like the beast taming competitions on Earth, there is a safety shield that will be activated once it detects that a contestant is about to encounter fatal danger.

So he can go all out, but he cannot kill the target to increase his spiritual energy. The benefits are estimated to be much lower than in the Brass Fortress.

Moreover, there is no blood god power to absorb, so the benefits are much less.

However, it is said that the Emperor's Baptism will be bestowed at the end of each game, providing psychic energy depending on the players' performance.

I can only hope that the improvement this thing brings can meet his needs.

As he was thinking like this, Chu Yi walked out from the end of the white corridor.

Compared to the Brass Fortress, the Test of Loyalty was quite quiet. There were many cameras pointed at the venue, but no spectators were visible.

After all, it was an exam, and even a loyalty test that mainly involved fighting, spectators were not allowed to enter, for fear of cheating.

However, spectators were allowed to watch the fights at the Emperor's Championship Tournament again, as it was said that this was the only way for the contestants to receive the people's faith and become stronger.

Chu Yi guessed that the reason for doing this was probably because they didn't want the contestants to be exposed to the power of faith too early.

It is said that this thing can only be endured by bodies of level four or above. If it is below level three, absorbing the power of faith will only do harm rather than good.

Because accepting faith means listening to the voices of those believers and engaging with their thoughts.

The body below the third level is still in the first level, belonging to the mortal body. Once the belief is too great, the brain may not be able to handle it. In the best case, mental problems may occur, and in the worst case, people may go crazy.

Those who take part in the loyalty test are basically weaklings around level three, so they will hardly attract the attention of the audience.

It doesn't matter if you advance to the Emperor's Championship, because no matter what your strength is before participating in the loyalty test, as long as you have experienced nine Emperor baptisms, you will definitely be promoted to the fourth level.

This is also the reason why Romero let Chu Yi participate in the competition. The Emperor Baptism is the best way for him to quickly improve his strength without worrying about any sequelae.

After figuring this out, Chu Yi's expression became much more excited. He couldn't wait to win his first victory.

Standing still in the arena, there was movement at the other corridor exits, and the contestants walked in one after another.

Chu Yi took a quick look and saw that they were all weaklings around level three. Even if he were to fight them since he hadn't received the blessing of the Four Gods yet, he would be able to defeat them!
"The game begins, contestants, please start fighting!"

As the announcement sounded on the radio, hundreds of contestants in the stadium immediately glared at each other.

Having reached such strength, Chu Yi didn't care whether he would become the target of public criticism or not. He simply clenched his fists, activated his Burning Heart and Burning Soul, and then entered the Super Saiyan state.

The emperor-level basic spiritual power, Burning Heart and Burning Soul, once activated, directly pushed his strength to the peak of the third level.

The inheritance of the super race state multiplied by fifty times instantly allowed him to reach the middle stage of the fourth stage.

This does not include his other burst skills. If he uses all of them, he can probably exceed the middle stage of the fifth stage! This is when he does not know how much the continuous improvement of the fighting frenzy can be.

Although the description says there is no upper limit, the improvement after victory will definitely not be particularly exaggerated, otherwise wouldn't it be dozens or hundreds of times the improvement after defeating a few small shrimps in seconds?
That's a bit too unreasonable.

So I guess that each improvement may be between a few percent and more than ten percent. Every time you win, you get a little extra, and it will slowly accumulate over time based on the number.

Therefore, there were hundreds of players in the first match, and Chu Yi was very happy because he could use them to layer up the Fighting Frenzy, making him stronger and stronger.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to defeat these people.

So after entering the combat mode, Chu Yi didn't say a word and directly used the Daytime Tiger to attack the scene.

This is his regular skill with the largest killing range.

The Peacock has a larger range but slightly less power.

The main focus of the dragon is control. It has good damage but a relatively small range.

The range and damage of Xi Xiang are good, but it can only be used after the Seventh Jingmen is opened.

Chu Yi was not planning to use this skill that could easily affect long-term combat, so he used the more conventional Daytime Tiger.

Even if this move does not withstand attacks, the damage it causes when used directly is still optimistic.

Moreover, it is a continuous skill. You can keep running wildly in the arena, which is enough to blow all the enemies away.

As expected, as soon as Chu Yi's Daytime Tiger made a move, the remaining one hundred contestants were either knocked out of the venue without any preparation, or reacted quickly and took defensive actions, but still suffered heavy losses.

Just the first day tiger killed at least thirty enemies.

Just when he felt that his spiritual energy was a little less, the source of life immediately replenished it for him, and he didn't feel any consumption at all.

And for some reason, my body unexpectedly improved.

Chu Yi was very sure that it was not the improvement brought by the fighting frenzy, because this thing could be seen on the system panel.

Chu Yi searched through all his talents and skills, but he had no idea where this improvement came from.

Finally, he turned his attention to the Miracle Seal. This was the only thing that the system had failed to analyze, so no data about it could be detected at all.

Chu Yi guessed that the improvement he just had should have come from the Miracle Seal, but he didn't know whether this slight improvement was permanent or temporary.

But no matter what, he now possesses two talents that can allow him to continue to become stronger in battle. Compared with round-the-clock battles and one game a day, it is more advantageous to him.

In that case, he will pass the loyalty test today and advance to the fourth level first!
Thinking of this, Chu Yi stretched out his hands and released the day tiger again.

But this time he released two daytime tigers, doubling the power!
The goal gradually became clear, and Chu Yi's attacks became more and more ruthless. He hoped to end the boring battle in front of him as soon as possible and face sufficiently interesting enemies as soon as possible.

The most interesting enemy he has encountered in recent years is the blood-slaying demon Brighton.

The ancient gods at that time did not give him such a satisfying feeling of fighting. After all, he was beaten with the golden cudgel at that time.

In the battle with Brighton, Chu Yi basically used his own strength, which made him feel more accomplished.

Of course, the most important thing is that when facing such a strong enemy, you can always have the last laugh.

What sense of accomplishment can you get from losing all the time? Of course, you have to win all the time to feel good.

But he also knew that he was facing an incomplete version of Brighton.

It is a clone whose cultivation has been suppressed. The power of the original body is simply unimaginable.

Romero was powerless to resist, and the pressure from Brighton seemed to be even greater.

Therefore, Chu Yi felt that the most exciting games were definitely the two games against Brighton.

As for the loyalty test in front of him, Chu Yi was dozing off.

After two rounds of Daytime Tiger, there were few people left on the field. Five or six "little cats" huddled in the corner, and it was unclear whether they were dazed or wanted to surrender. In any case, they did not dare to attack.

Chu Yi did not delay with these people, and quickly used his air fist to send them all down to rest.

Before the referee announced his victory, Chu Yi immediately raised his hand and said, "I want to play in the second round. Please let the second round contestants out!"

Chu Yi shouted while monitoring the system panel. He wanted to know how long these two upgrades would last.

If the time is too short, then it will be quite useless, because many battlefields will not give you the opportunity to fight all the time.

In some cases, you only encounter a small number of enemies each time, fight them then travel for a while, and then fight again.

If the duration is too short, the bonus is almost zero, which is quite frustrating.

The good news is that when the second round of opponents came on the court, there was no change in Chu Yi's attribute column.

It does last for ten minutes, and the bonus is considerable. One hundred people can nearly double his combat effectiveness.

If you defeat 2,500 of them, you can defeat a death gate!
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.

However, according to convention, this thing is likely to have a decay effect. As the number of enemies defeated increases, the bonus will be greatly reduced. You don't even need to think about it; it definitely exists!
"The second game begins!"

Following the announcement, the second round began without delay.

There are slightly fewer opponents in this round, about sixty or seventy people, and their strength has been improved by one level compared to the first round.

However, Chu Yi's strength at this moment is far beyond what it was just now.

It was still the daytime tigers that were devastating the scene. This time, Chu Yi directly released five of them, which directly overwhelmed all the opponents in front of him.

I have to say that the Day Tiger is really a magical skill for bullying weak opponents. It has a large range, fast speed, and great power. Except for a little more consumption, it has almost no disadvantages.

But after having the source of life, as long as he doesn't encounter a particularly strong opponent who can defeat him in one go, no matter how much spiritual energy or physical strength he consumes, he will recover quickly given some time.

Therefore, Chu Yi did not spare his spiritual energy when releasing the daytime tigers. He released five in the second round and ten in the third round.

In the later rounds, Chu Yi directly used the Dragon and Tiger Dance and the Dragon Elephant Fist, and threw out his ultimate moves as if they were free.

It can only be said that the third and fourth levels are indeed a watershed. Those players who generally have not reached the fourth level are really helpless in the face of a pseudo fourth-level master like Chu Yi.

What's more, he has a lot of superb talents and skills, which are far from what is shown on the panel.

Miracle?

It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent who could force him to the point where he needed a miracle to defeat him.
