Potential Points

Wang Ye spent the entire morning strolling in the Evolution Camp.

He went to the gym to train his strength, the yoga room to do flexibility training, the arsenal to try out all kinds of weapons, the library to read, and the canteen to eat.

He had explored the entire basement of the huge Evolution Camp, but he still had not triggered any potential points.

Did he really have to find a girl and try out having sex?

With his current looks, it was not difficult.

However, this did not seem to have anything to do with the word "potential".

"Students cannot return to the Base City... Let's go to the wild and take a look."

Wang Ye put on the student combat uniform issued by the Evolution Camp and picked a sword from the arsenal.

He hid lime, pepper spray, steel nails, and other self-defense items in his pocket before leaving the basement.

In his opinion, Yu Haitao shouldn't be stupid enough to make a move at this time, but it was never wrong to be on guard.

What if the other party was really stupid?

"Beep!"

After his identity was verified, Wang Ye left the Evolution Camp alone.

Dust flew as the off-road vehicle with the West Camp's logo sped away.

The vehicles were equipped with firearms, so normal mutated monsters were nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, there were Evolvers in the vehicles. They usually went to Encampment No. 3, which was 20 kilometers away, to hunt and train.

There were a large number of fiend-level monsters and even nightmare-level monsters there.

The activity range of the West Camp students was the 20km area between the Evolution Camp to Encampment No. 3, mainly within a 10km radius.

There were fewer mutated monsters here, and basically no fiend-level monsters.

The 10km to 20km region was the activity area for the 300 most talented students of the three elite classes, namely Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.

Many of those students had already cultivated the Life Evolution Technique to the perfection level, and their physical fitness scores had exceeded 100.

"It's all ruins."

Wang Ye walked forward cautiously. He looked around and his heart was in turmoil.

What greeted his eyes were all ruins and scorched land. One could clearly see the traces of battle and destruction.

The once prosperous high-rise buildings, comfortable residential areas, spacious roads, and green parks were all abandoned.

Even though all this existed in his memories, Wang Ye still felt a mix of emotions when he saw it with his own eyes.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying the monsters' rampage was when the catastrophe first broke out.

On a bus that had been severed in half was an advertisement by the once-famous star Anabella in 2045.

The Tesla had been burned beyond recognition, the man-made leather seats corroded by the red rain, and the driver's seat covered with blood stains and the stench of decay.

There were quite a number of students who came to train in the wilderness. They formed groups and were vigilant as if they were facing a great enemy.

Once a mutated monster was discovered, they would fight to the death.

Wang Ye walked forward for two kilometers, and the students were much sparser.

Five kilometers away, humans were basically nowhere to be seen other than some modified cars from the Base City.

The wind was howling, and the surroundings were gloomy. The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood, and the faint roars of beasts could be heard.

Wang Ye moved about in areas with a wide field of vision to avoid being attacked by mutated monsters.

Suddenly, a tapping sound came from behind him.

Wang Ye quickly turned his head. His eyes lit up and his adrenaline surged.

It was a pitch-black mutated monster with jagged ribs. The bones on its body protruded strangely like hedgehogs, and its front legs were extremely thick. Its mouth hung open ferociously, its saliva-wrapped sharp teeth protruding/

The first battle!

Wang Ye was mentally prepared.

He had practiced boxing in his previous life and had some actual combat experience.

It was just that his opponent this time was not a human.

He quickly retreated and stared at the mutated monster's movements.

Due to the difference in the mutation of its front and back legs, the mutated monster's running posture was extremely strange. There was an obvious pause between the strength of its hind legs and front legs.

Calculating the distance, the moment the mutated monster's hind legs landed on the ground, Wang Ye suddenly turned and drew his knife, aiming for its neck.

His movements were extremely fast, but with a clang, it was as if his knife had hit steel.

His entire right arm was instantly numbed, and the web between his thumb and forefinger split open.

The mutated monster was sent flying and rolled on the ground a few times. A deep bloody scar appeared on its neck, and dark red blood seeped out.

With a roar, the mutated monster got up and attacked again, but it missed.

A cold light flashed, and yet another powerful slash was delivered.

Bang!

The target was still the monster's neck.

But this time, Wang Ye held the knife with both hands, and his veins bulged as he ruthlessly slashed the mutated monster to the ground.

Without giving it any chance to get up again, Wang Ye clenched his jaw and chopped off its neck with his knife as if he was chopping firewood.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

Wang Ye panted heavily. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands that were holding the knife trembled uncontrollably.

It was not only because of the temporary exhaustion but also because this was his first time fighting a mutated monster and killing in a true sense.

In front of him, a flash of light appeared.

[Mutated beast killed.]

[Potential Points: 0→0.1]

" Ha, hahaha!" Wang Ye laughed, feeling a sense of relief.

He felt exceptionally carefree.

He liked this method of obtaining potential points, second only to having sex.

It was simple and crude.

He could become stronger through potential points!

After becoming stronger, he would kill more mutated monsters and obtain more potential points. Then, he would become even stronger!

"A real battle is still different from what I imagined."

Wang Ye took out a bandage and wrapped it around the web of his right hand. He then tightened his grip on his knife before wrapping together with his hand using the bandage.

If he lost it during the battle with the mutated monster, he would be in big trouble.

" Today's goal, 1 potential point."

Wang Ye's fighting spirit was ignited.

In the West Camp infirmary, Shu Meng'ou took off her white coat and rubbed her sore neck.

Having a good figure was also a kind of trouble.

Just as she was about to change her clothes and leave, a nurse gently pushed open the door.

"Doctor Shu, there's a patient looking for you."

"Alright."

Shu Mengou put on her white coat again.

This kind of thing was very common in the evolution camp.

Whether it was Evolvers or ordinary students, they could not avoid getting injured.

Half a minute later, Shu Mengou sighed as she looked at Wang Ye, who had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday and had returned covered in wounds.

It was not the first time she had seen such a student.

Soon, Wang Ye was disinfected, injected with anti-inflammatory injections, and bandaged.

"It's alright this time. They're all superficial wounds. Do you want a bed?" Shu Mengou asked Wang Ye.

"No need, I can't sleep alone."

Wang Ye stood up with a smile and moved his hands, "Doctor Shu, your skills are really good."

"Of course, I'm a professional."

Shu Mengou crossed her arms in front of her chest and lifted her breasts, the culprit behind her tight white coat.

"See you next time, Dr. Shu," Wang Ye waved and left.

...

After leaving the infirmary, Wang Ye went to the cafeteria to fill his stomach before heading straight to the training ground.

The Evolution Camp encouraged cultivation, so the training ground was open 24 hours a day and was brightly lit.

Still, there were fewer students at night, and it seemed a little empty.

Most of the students practiced actual combat during the day when they were at their peak of energy and cultivated their evolution techniques at night.

Of course, many also practiced their evolution techniques for an entire day.

Wang Ye's goal was clear: Weapon training!

After a whole day of training, he knew his shortcomings. It was not enough to have a strong body without skills.

Moreover, he did not have a strong body.

If he wanted to earn potential points, he had to increase his combat strength!

The original owner of this body had practiced some sword techniques, but he preferred saber techniques and spear techniques, which were straightforward.

He especially liked spear techniques. Whenever the spear shook, it would be like a white rainbow piercing through the sun. Wherever the tip of the spear stabbed, blood would immediately appear.

He held a spear in his left hand and a knife in his right.

Wang Ye thought about it and decided to practice using a saber first.

Practicing saber techniques would take a hundred days while spear techniques would take a thousand days. Compared to the saber, the spear required more solid basic skills.

What he needed now was to master a suitable weapon in the shortest time possible.

He started from the basics: Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Techniques.

The Evolution Camp had complete video tutorials that were very detailed, all from Moon Web, a mysterious and powerful existence.

This was the hope and source of strength for humans to fight against monsters.

Moon Web contained various evolution techniques, combat and cultivation techniques, and even cultivation spaces

It was far beyond the current level of human technology. One could connect to it through one's consciousness, something ordinary humans couldn't do. It was only achievable by Evolvers.

"Chi! Whoosh! Chi!"

Wang Ye meticulously practiced his saber technique.

Chop, lift, pick, intercept, push, stab, chop...

Every movement was executed perfectly.

He did not choose a more powerful set of saber techniques because he knew the importance of foundation. Great oaks from little acorns grow, one could not aim too high.

Not only would routine saber techniques be slow to learn, but the potential points he would need to upgrade it would also be more.

The next morning, Wang Ye leaned against the iron gate outside the saber training hall to take a nap.

After a whole night of practice, he had a basic grasp of the Nine Forms of the Basic Saber Technique.

However, it hadn't appeared on his personal panel yet, which meant that he hadn't truly entered the beginner level.

He knew very well that he needed to obtain some pointers which would help him cross the threshold and enter the beginner level for saber techniques.

There were many instructors who were proficient in saber techniques at the saber training hall. Most of them were Evolvers who had retired from the front lines after being injured from fights with fiend-level monsters.

At six o'clock, the two huge iron gates of the saber training hall were pulled open.

Wang Ye opened his eyes.

He stood up and felt somewhat dizzy.

He shook his head vigorously, patted his face, and quickly woke up.

Immediately after, Wang Ye rushed in.

There were many students waiting like him.

Once it reached the morning peak, the saber training hall would be packed to the brim.

Never mind asking an instructor for guidance, even entering was a problem.

After Wang Ye asked an instructor for guidance, he found a corner and started practicing his own.

If he encountered any problems, he would find the instructor and ask again, then continue practicing.

Either way, he refused to leave until the saber training hall closed at 6 pm.

Then, he changed spots and continued!

With his actions during the day, Wang Ye had eliminated all the problems in his saber cultivation.

Even though he had yet to enter the beginner level of the Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques, he had already cleared the obstacles in front of him.

All that was left was to persevere and practice until he completely mastered it!

The training ground was brightly lit, and the students sweated profusely as they worked hard.

Wang Ye practiced until 4 am again.

The saber in his hand drew out a series of beautiful arcs, and his actions were clean and neat.

[Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques, beginner level ↑]

A light flashed in front of him.

Wang Ye smiled, his eyes bloodshot.

Success!

With a thought, the interface appeared.

[6: Wang Ye]

[Life Level: Initial Life]

[Cultivation Technique: Life Evolution Technique (proficient)]

[Combat Technique: Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques (beginner)]

[Potential Points: 1.1]

There was also a floating "+" behind the Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques. Wang Ye's consciousness fell on it.

[Do you wish to spend 1 potential point to upgrade the Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques?]

[Yes.]

With that, the depths of Wang Ye's mind shook and his consciousness entered a state again.

His consciousness practiced the Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques over and over again, just as if an accelerator had been turned on.

Ten times faster, a hundred times faster...

After practicing for ten, or even twenty days, his understanding of the saber technique was extremely thorough.

Bang!

He was enlightened.

At this moment, Wang Ye's bloodshot eyes shone brightly.

Nine Forms of Basic Saber Techniques, practiced level!
