Since the Shadow Servant could display the orbs in a way that David could understand, could the Shadow Servant also display the abilities that David had mastered? Regardless, he was a senior in high school. He should at least possess some knowledge in literature, mathematics, and general topics.
“Shadow Servant, can you display my situation in terms of data as well?” David asked after thinking about it.
The eyes of the Shadow Servant flickered a few times, after which David saw a set of data in front of his own eyes. This technology was somewhat similar to the projections of the Star Federation. However, he didn’t see any data displayed in front of his body through the eyes of the Shadow Servant.
David wasn’t a scientist. He thought about it deeply but still couldn’t understand the principle behind the display. Thus, he focused on the data in front of him.
Name: David Karl
Strength: 2.5 (1)
Agility: 1.7 (1)
Physique: 2 (1)
Mental Energy: 2.8 (1)
Literature (Yet To Become Beginner), Mathematics (Yet To Become Beginner), History (Yet To Become Beginner), Gymnastics (10% Beginner), Longsword Mastery (5% Beginner)
David’s strength was at 2.5. As a point of reference, the strength of an average person was 200 kilograms, which was also 1 as an arbitrary unit. Each arbitrary point of increase in strength would be twice the previous strength.
David’s body hadn’t been put through much suffering since he was a child, especially when it came to nutritious food, which was good for his body. He had been continuously consuming strengthened meat. This caused him to have three times as much strength as an ordinary person.
Having the strength of about 600 kilograms would be considered a great feat in his previous life. There, professional weightlifters could only lift a maximum of 250 kg, which was worlds apart from the current strength his body could exhibit.
His agility was at 1.7 arbitrary units. If David remembered correctly, his performance in the most recent test was 9.2 seconds for a 100-meter sprint.
The Jamaican sprinter from his past life, Usain Bolt, held a world record for completing a 100-meter sprint in 9.58 seconds, which was the best in that world. In the world that he came from, this result came after countless years of effort and the passing of good genes.
However, an ordinary senior high school student in this world, one just like him, had actually managed to surpass the speed of the world’s fastest sprinter in his past life.
Of course, regardless of one’s actual strength or agility, both aspects required one to have a strong physique as a foundation. It was considered normal to have twice the figures of an ordinary person’s physique statistics.
However, he could not quite understand the concept of mental energy. Out of the four basic attributes, his mental energy, which surpassed that of an ordinary person’s, was the strongest.
The mental energy could not be seen or touched. After thinking about it carefully, he recalled that the world seemed much clearer to him after he woke up from sleeping. He figured that the enhancement in mental energy was the result of that.
In fact, what David didn’t know was that the biggest reason that the Shadow Servant hadn’t been able to reveal that many abilities earlier was that his mental energy was too weak.
When David’s predecessor was performing the sacrifice, he consumed most of the energy into his soul. What remained of his weakened soul was then absorbed by the summoned Shadow Servant, together with his memories.
The Shadow Servant that had been summoned was special. The process of the sacrifice had to occur with a specific god in mind. However, David’s predecessor knew very little about the gods of the Great Divine World, and Trainer Jeremy, who had given him the sacrificial manual, couldn’t have told him that. Hence, the god of the sacrifice was still an unknown existence.
The method of sacrifice described in the sacrificial manual from the Great Divine World was not a simple way to increase one’s strength. In fact, even in the Great Divine World, very few people tried to perform such a sacrifice.
All of those who performed sacrificial rituals had undergone a long period of special training. They also had to be talented for the sacrifice to be performed successfully in a shrine, with the combination of a large number of soul-related precious medicinal supplements to aid them.
Even then, the success rate was extremely low.
However, David’s predecessor was entirely clueless about the consequences of carrying out such a risky sacrifice outside of the Great Divine World, without the protection of the shrine, a strong spiritual talent, the corresponding resources, or without undergoing special training.
David’s soul had transmigrated over to that body and fused with it perfectly under the influence of the unknown power during the sacrifice.
However, after the influence of the transmigration and the depletion caused by the sacrifice, the power of David’s soul had become extremely weak.
That caused his mental energy to be lower than that of an ordinary person, let alone able to activate the special abilities of the Shadow Servant.
After the explosion in the bookstore, which resulted in the deaths of nearly a hundred people, there were nearly a hundred souls produced. Some were weak and some were strong. Although some of the souls absorbed by the Shadow Servant had been strengthened by the Shadow Servant, there was still a lot of transformed Soul Power that was passed on to David.
David was only able to quickly retrieve all of his memories because he had sufficient soul support. The Shadow Servant had also activated its corresponding ability, which was related to the strength of his mental energy.
When David saw the abilities that he possessed at the bottom of the data, he could not help but blush. Since he had received his predecessor’s memories, it was natural to be ashamed of himself.
Looking at the scores, he learned that he had yet to become a proper beginner in the three main cultural subjects of literature, mathematics, and general studies.
The Bodywork that he was proud of was still only at 10% Beginner. His progress in Longsword Mastery was only at 5%.
Those results reflected the true current standards of his body. He was a terrible and incompetent student who definitely wouldn’t qualify for Nan University in this state.
Of course, David was also a little presumptuous at this moment. Being at the beginner level was already above the ordinary level. The results of most students were far below the beginner level, according to the assessment standards of the Shadow Servant.
The fourteen red orbs that the Shadow Servant had absorbed were obtained from the souls of nearly a hundred people. Even the most ordinary of all people had their own strengths.
David ordered the Shadow Servant to send one literature-category orb (19% Beginner) into his body. That was the only method of application of the red orb that he could think of, finding that all the orbs inside the Shadow Servant’s body could be moved under his command.
The reason he chose that specific red orb was that the literature-category red orb (19% Beginner) made up the majority of the orbs. At the same time, losing the literature-category red orb (19% Beginner) would not be too overwhelming if the experiment were to fail.
If it succeeded, there would be some hope for him to be admitted to Nan University, which was the college that his predecessor had always wanted a spot in.
If he was able to get into Nan University, Trainer Jeremy and any other enemies that he might have would no longer be able to threaten him.
Nan City was not Pelan City, where he currently lived, and Nan University was not for average students.
Having half a year of safety left, he could probably avoid any possible danger if he was more careful and did not give Trainer Jeremy any opportunity to attack.
Currently, the only thing he could do about danger was to ward against it. There was no way he could retaliate at this moment.
Perhaps the retaliation might be carried out by the Shadow Servant. Looking at the Shadow Servant, David made up his mind.
The Shadow Servant transferred the literature-category red orb (19% Beginner) into his body.
The moment that the literature-category red orb (19% Beginner) entered his body, he saw some changes in the data panel in front of him.
‘Literature (Yet To Become Beginner)’ had changed to Literature (19% Beginner). At the same time, a memory appeared in his mind.
It was a period of learning that consisted of reading aloud, soft recitation, silent understanding, and explanations given by teachers.
Those memories did not contain any images of the owner of the memory, even the faces of a few teachers who appeared blurred out.
Sometime later, David snapped out of his memories. His understanding of the subject of literature had greatly deepened in his mind. He remembered every word and every point of knowledge that he had just seen in his memory.
He looked at his identity bracelet, only to realize that only a minute had passed, despite having felt like hundreds of days of studying to him.
The knowledge given to him by the red orb seemed to have been deeply etched in his brain. It left a deeper impression on him than the knowledge he had learned on his own.
The knowledge he had learned on his own would be slowly forgotten as time passed, but the knowledge he had gained through the red orb would never disappear.
