Chapter 569 - 169: Dark Horse
But he was different from Wen Duoduo; he had another force within him, Mental Telekinesis!
From the Destruction System Mental Telekinesis Master’s telekinesis, combined with his upper-grade spiritual roots, lifting a 120,000-pound stone lock wasn’t impossible.
Though he knew he couldn’t compare to Qin Qianyu.
But Jin Yifei also wanted to charge into the final round and compete in combat strength with other talents from the Eastern Continent.
The martial arts students were soon called in turn.
"Lift!"
A martial arts student named Hams from the Stone Country of Eastern Continent attempted to lift the 120,000-pound stone lock.
The crowd saw that Hams had many blood patterns on him, his muscles and veins bulging. Ling Feng, through telepathy measure of over 80.0, could detect a force hidden in Hams’ muscles, distinct from spiritual power and vital force.
"Genetic Bloodline!"
Ling Feng and Qin Qianyu simultaneously exclaimed.
The Great Xia Kingdom also had genetic warriors.
Previously in the Great Radiation Zone guarding Base 7, Ling Feng had encountered genetic bloodline warriors. Now, with advanced technology, many medicinal liquids and replenishing liquids allow warriors who originally had no bloodline to acquire one through genetic modification.
However, these artificially modified bloodlines quickly meet their limits and consume a significant amount of life force, leaving major hidden dangers in the body.
Someone like Hams, who can become a continental examination martial arts student under genetic modification, definitely uses genetic potion levels far superior to those produced by the Xingyao Group.
They are extremely precious in the market.
But no matter how precious a genetic potion is, it cannot awaken a high third-grade spiritual root, or a spiritual root within the sixth grade.
Furthermore, they only deprive many people of their potential.
Even if Hams can achieve good results and make it to the final round, he cannot become a Star Gate disciple.
Yet some countries never hope their martial arts students can become Star Gate disciples; they merely wish their martial arts students can achieve good results in the competition to help the country gain more resource subsidies. That’s all.
Hams is clearly just there to help the Stone Country acquire more resource subsidies.
He roared.
With the support of talisman power, the 120,000-pound stone lock was lifted to chest level in one go, and his feet sank into the ground.
Another roar.
Attempting to lift it above his head, the stone lock barely reached the top of his head.
Hams’ bloodline exploded.
Blood spewed from his mouth and nose.
His feet knelt on the ground, and the 120,000-pound stone lock fell heavily to the ground, with him supporting himself on the ground, panting heavily.
On-site, there were feelings of sympathy and ridicule.
Many people feel disgust and repulsion towards those who obtain great power through genetic modification.
Seeing them fail brings joy to their hearts.
Just like when people see failed cases of plastic surgery in the past, many feel an inexplicable satisfaction.
Eventually, Hams tried lifting a 100,000-pound stone lock after resting, achieving a score of 80 and awaited the second round call.
"Jin Yifei... Jin Chenchen...
Soon, two familiar names were heard.
Jin Yifei was in the same group as the Iron Rod Country’s prodigy Jin Chenchen.
The scene saw a small commotion.
Jin Chenchen was also a far and well-known genius in the Eastern Continent region, known by many for awakening top-grade spiritual roots and recently slaying two Great Demons in the Longchuan Forbidden Land.
"Young Master Jin, hello."
Jin Chenchen greeted Jin Yifei and nodded towards Qin Qianyu and Ling Feng in the waiting area.
Every continental examination’s rules are announced only on the day of the competition.
This year’s comprehensive score-based advancement method took many by surprise.
Previously, Yamamoto Taro from Witch Ghost Country and Rajiv from Divine Bull Country tried to link up with Jin Chenchen, aiming to besiege Qin Qianyu in the first round.
To eliminate Qin Qianyu.
Unexpectedly, this year’s continental exam wasn’t as bloody as previous ones, but the difficulty level increased significantly.
Initially, people didn’t need to slaughter each other, but getting into the top ten, especially becoming a Star Gate disciple, required exerting every ounce of effort.
Moreover, for most people, the moment the rules are announced, it means they are fated never to become a Star Gate disciple in this lifetime.
Ling Feng and Qin Qianyu both nodded towards Jin Chenchen.
Both saw Jin Yifei standing before the 120,000-pound stone lock, while Jin Chenchen stood before the 150,000-pound stone lock.
Both aimed for different scores.
Jin Yifei furrowed his brows, feeling the gap was somewhat large, yet he thought of only having upper-grade spiritual roots and needing mental telekinesis to lift a 120,000-pound stone lock, making him hesitate to move.
"Begin!"
The examiner spoke.
Jin Yifei grabbed the stone lock with both hands, roused all his spiritual power to lift the stone lock overhead with great effort. Meanwhile, a surging wave of mental telekinesis formed a light curtain beneath the stone lock, ultimately succeeding in lifting the 120,000-pound stone lock over his head.
But he was somewhat strained.
His face flushed red, his legs shaking slightly.
In contrast, Jin Chenchen effortlessly lifted the 150,000-pound stone lock overhead with just his spiritual root power, easily achieving a perfect score.
He was the only one in this batch of martial arts students to achieve a perfect score in the first round.
Many felt a sense of accord, feeling Jin Yifei lived up to his name.
The examination proceeded quickly.
In no time, it was Ling Feng’s turn to take the stage.
"Yamamoto Taro, Ling Feng..."
The crowd was surprised to see Ling Feng was in the same group as Yamamoto Taro.
Both stood in front of the queue, having heard of each other and even seen each other’s related videos. Upon meeting, they nodded and greeted each other, creating a very harmonious atmosphere at the scene.
