Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 278 278: Mei's Genetic Power

As the students stepped into the Ascendancy Simulator one by one, the classroom witnessed a series of intense and varied encounters with Sprout-level demon beasts. The holographic forest served as the stage for their trials, each student facing a unique and challenging opponent.

Ling, a petite girl with a background in traditional martial arts, cautiously navigated the virtual forest. Her first encounter was with a venomous serpent demon beast. Despite her agility, the serpent's rapid strikes overwhelmed her, and she succumbed to the venom after a brief struggle.

Next in line was Jason, known for his prowess in marksmanship. His challenge came in the form of a camouflaged, chameleon demon beast. However, the creature's adaptive camouflage proved too effective, and Jason fell victim to its surprise attacks.

Rachel, a student with a knack for strategic thinking, faced off against a cunning spider demon beast. Despite her attempts to outmaneuver the creature, she became entangled in its web and was ultimately overwhelmed.

Marcus, equipped with a virtual sword, engaged in a fierce battle with a Sprout demon beast resembling a wolf. The beast's agility surpassed his own, and its claws tore through his defenses. In the end, Marcus fell victim to a devastating pounce, his holographic form dissipating.

Lisa, armed with a virtual bow, faced a Sprout demon beast with the ability to manipulate shadows. The beast ambushed her from the darkness, rendering her arrows useless. Overwhelmed and unable to escape the shadowy grasp, Lisa met her demise as the virtual darkness consumed her.

Adrian, confident in his physical prowess, confronted a Sprout demon beast that could manipulate Earth. The beast unleashed seismic waves, causing the ground to crumble beneath Adrian's feet. Unable to maintain his balance, he fell into a chasm, meeting his end.

Julia, relying on her speed and agility, faced a Sprout demon beast with the ability to control plant life. Vines ensnared her, restricting her movements. Despite her attempts to break free, the relentless vegetation tightened its grip, suffocating her in the virtual embrace.

One after another, the students met their respective challenges, each Sprout demon beast presenting a unique set of dangers. The Ascendancy Simulator exposed the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the students, forcing them to adapt and learn from their failures.

Professor Zhuge observed each scenario closely, offering insights and guidance to the students based on their performance. The training session served not only as a test of combat skills but also as a lesson in strategy, resilience, and quick thinking.

'The quality of students dropped again.' Zhuge sighed.

Then he scrutinized the holographic displays, carefully evaluating each student's performance in the Ascendancy Virtual Simulator. As the virtual battles unfolded, he observed the movements, alertness, courage, strategic planning, use of weapons, and the ability to analyze weaknesses. The scores ranged from F to B, with none of the students achieving an exceptional grade.

"Shawn your movements were sluggish, lacking the agility required to evade the Sprout demon beast. Your alertness was severely lacking, evident from your inability to spot the threat before it attacked. Courage, my friend, was absent, replaced by fear and hesitation. You failed to strategize, making impulsive decisions that led to your demise. Your use of the virtual weapon showcased your lack of training, and the failure to analyze the beast's weakness was evident in your futile attempts."

"Nina, your alertness was commendable, but your movements were predictable. Your courage wavered when faced with the serpent's venomous strikes. While your strategic planning showed promise, your execution fell short. The use of the virtual bow lacked finesse, and your failure to analyze the serpent's vulnerability contributed to your downfall."

"Marcus, your combat movements displayed reasonable skill, but your alertness was compromised by the wolf's deceptive tactics. Courage faltered during critical moments. Your strategic planning showed promise, but the execution lacked precision. The virtual sword's use demonstrated proficiency, yet your analysis of the wolf's weakness was insufficient."

"Lisa, your use of the virtual bow was proficient, but your movements lacked the agility needed to evade the shadowy assailant. Courage dwindled as the shadows closed in. Strategic planning was minimal, and the failure to analyze the shadow beast's vulnerability contributed to your defeat."

"Adrian, your physical prowess was overshadowed by the earth-manipulating Sprout demon beast. Alertness proved inadequate, leading to vulnerability. Courage was replaced by overconfidence, hindering strategic planning. The use of the virtual environment showcased a lack of adaptability, and the failure to analyze the earth beast's weakness led to your downfall."

"Julia, your speed and agility were notable, contributing to effective movements. Alertness was commendable, and courage remained intact despite the entangling vines. Strategic planning showed promise, and the virtual bow's use was skillful. Your analysis of the plant beast's weakness demonstrated foresight, earning you a respectable grade."

Professor Zhuge concluded his critiques, by emphasizing the importance of improvement and adaptability in facing diverse challenges. The Ascendancy Simulator, though a formidable adversary, served as a valuable training tool, exposing the students to the complexities of combat. The desire to excel burned within each student, fueled by the determination to overcome the virtual obstacles that mirrored the unpredictability of the real world.

"Now, Mei, it's your turn."

As Mei entered the virtual reality through the Ascendancy Simulator, she found herself standing in the midst of a volcanic landscape, surrounded by molten lava and billowing clouds of ash. Before she stood a colossal golem, its massive form constructed from molten rock and lava, radiating intense heat.

"Looks like they're not going easy on Mei," whispered Caleb, watching the holographic display with a mix of excitement and concern.

Mei took a deep breath, her eyes focused on the formidable opponent before her. The lava golem roared, its fiery gaze fixed on Mei as it prepared to attack. Undeterred, Mei began to channel her gene power, a unique ability that set her apart from ordinary students.

As she extended her hands forward, a surge of energy emanated from her palms. The air crackled with compressed lightning, forming a dazzling display of electric arcs. The students watching could feel the intensity of the power radiating from Mei's focused hands.

The lava golem charged, molten fists raised, but Mei stood her ground, a determined look on her face. As the golem swung its fiery appendage, Mei swiftly moved, displaying agility that left her classmates in awe. The compressed lightning in her hands glowed brighter as she prepared to unleash its full force.
