Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 396: Chapter 222 Weakness! (Five in One)_3

As the optimal timing and placement for Skill use varied from moment to moment, achieving absolute perfection was incredibly difficult. Attaining a score of over 80 in this type of training area was already considered a sign of strong practical abilities.

Chen Mo saw many seniors, after testing a set of Skills, only manage to score between 60 and 70.

It was clear that mastering the perfect timing for Skill release was extremely difficult.

After reviewing the Skill challenge area, Chen Mo moved to the western area, which was a team competition zone.

Currently, some students were forming teams, preparing to participate in team competitions. They were discussing tactics and assigning tasks, hoping to achieve better results through seamless cooperation.

As each team finished their discussions, Chen Mo saw them all disappear into the team competition area. It seemed they had entered their respective challenge instances.

It was evident that there were quite a number of competitive events in the arena, each catering to different practical needs.

To the east was direct combat technique application.

To the south was Skill application.

To the west was teamwork application.

The northern area housed a solo challenge zone, where one could attempt to climb the school’s Heaven-Connecting Tower.

Students could earn academic credits based on the number of floors they passed.

Chen Mo deeply felt the atmosphere of the arena—this was a place full of competition and challenges.

Although there seemed to be many categories, they primarily fell into two main types: competitive fights and competitive challenges.

Competitive fights were matches students arranged among themselves.

Competitive challenges involved tackling targets set by the school.

If one exceeded certain targets, it was considered a successful challenge, but each reward could only be claimed once.

Since Chen Mo currently had no academic credits, he obviously couldn’t compete against other students for them.

He could only choose competitive challenge events.

New students could attempt one competitive challenge for free each day.

Competitive challenges were similar to competitive fights, and both were divided into several projects.

Among them was a combat skills challenge where both parties’ abilities were fully restricted, with fixed attribute values of 100 health points and 1 attack point.

Whoever killed the opponent first was the winner.

This type of challenge was very popular among students.

They generally took on these challenges before competing against other students.

Dealing with real people versus robots presented some differences.

The robots in the arena were completely different from those in the training hall.

The sole purpose of the arena’s robots was to defeat you by any means, while the robots in the training hall were primarily there to guide you towards the correct response.

Their attacks were, in fact, restrained.

Just like the robot Chen Mo had encountered earlier, it stopped attacking after pushing him back, giving him time to learn.

However, if it were in the arena, a robot would continue its assault after repelling Chen Mo, relentlessly pursuing him until he was defeated.

In the arena’s competitive challenge mode, the strength of the robots also started at 1 point.

The strength increased incrementally as one progressed. Every successful challenge against a robot of a certain strength level granted one academic credit. One couldn’t repeatedly earn credits from robots of strength levels already defeated.

Chen Mo had just been pummeled for half an hour by a robot at strength level 1. He clearly understood that a robot at this strength level was already beyond his current capabilities. Hence, he naturally had no interest in this challenge.

He shifted his focus to another challenge event: the tower-climbing challenge.

This challenge involved using one’s profession’s abilities to generate tower levels, which one then climbed. The higher one climbed, the more academic credits were earned.

Once inside, profession attributes were restricted.

How many floors one could climb under this restriction depended on one’s own abilities.

All projects in the arena were very safe. Just like in the training hall, simulated bodies were used. Even if “killed,” one wasn’t really dead, so participants could bravely take on the challenges.

Since a free challenge opportunity was available each day, Chen Mo immediately decided to give it a try.

He was in need of academic credits, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of a freebie.

The arena wasn’t like the training hall, which had numerous rooms. Instead, all he needed to do was swipe his student card at the challenge platform to enter the competitive space.

Arriving at the challenge platform in the center of the hall, Chen Mo swiped his student card.

He promptly received a Heavenly Path’s Hint.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Please choose the competitive event you wish to participate in: competitive fight or tower-climbing challenge.]

Chen Mo directly chose the tower-climbing challenge and selected the Heaven-Connecting Tower Challenge.

With a flash of light, Chen Mo found himself inside an ancient-looking tower.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have started the Heaven-Connecting Tower Challenge. A virtual character equivalent to your Level has been generated for you. All virtual characters share your initial combat profession and are at the zeroth-transition.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Please combine your profession’s abilities, use your combat skills, defeat the floor guardians, and keep climbing. The higher you climb, the better your results.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: According to the rules set by the challenge creator, the first person to pass the current floor will receive a reward of 10 academic credits. Please strive to defeat your opponents.]

From the attribute restrictions, Chen Mo realized that the Heaven-Connecting Tower wasn’t that much different from directly challenging the robots. However, the Heaven-Connecting Tower was designed to create different conditions for passing a level based on different profession abilities.

This must be a way to comprehensively evaluate profession abilities.

He glanced at the enemy on the first floor.
