The God Virus

123 A Slap In A Dream?



Outside of the door, everyone was still feeling shocked about the sudden increase of the bar from zero to one-tenth of a percent, so they were looking at the orb with complete focus and interest to understand exactly what was going on.

But suddenly, from one-tenth of a percent, the bar increased to a whole ten percent!

The whole library instantly went entirely silent as every disciple's pupils had turned into the size of a needle as they almost popped out of their sockets because of their sense of disbelief and surrealism.

Even the pagoda master and Astes who were the least surprised in the previous increase from zero to one-tenth of a percent could no longer keep their surprise under check at all as they stood there dumbfounded just like others.

To other disciples, this increase felt like that the bar had instantly increased to ten percent. However, the pagoda master who had a higher level of cultivation and a better grasp of the time witnessed otherwise.

Although even to him this increase was too fast almost to the point of him being unable to catch any sight of it, he was sure that he had seen the orb gradually increase from one-tenth of a percent to a whole ten percent throughout what felt like one-fourth of a second!

At the same time, he had also caught glimpses of extremely quickly changing books above the bar, albeit it was very blurry.

So even though it didn't make any sense, he was certain of what he saw and knew that inside the white space, Virus had truly achieved ten percent knowledge in thirty seconds.

Still in disbelief, he decided to check with how many books Virus had achieved ten percent, so he sent more of his qi inside the orb which immediately changed the bar image into the shape of a book, above which a number was hovering as it showed the shocking number of a hundred!

He was even more stupefied seeing the number as he wondered to himself, 'This monster.... did he really fill the books with the full knowledge of a whole hundred books in just thirty seconds?... If this impossible feat is really true... then I have still underestimated his talent...'

Currently, Astes was greatly shocked too as she thought to herself, 'What's happening? Why did the bar percentage shot up to ten percent all of a sudden?.... Don't tell me... he truly achieved that in a moment? But that's impossible unless your cultivation is very high, right? How could he suddenly achieve what I was barely able to achieve after using the fastest thinking and processing speed I could use for almost five days straight in a moment?'

Other than her shock which was clearly visible in her eyes, she was also very confused as every question she asked herself, threw her into even more confusion and doubt.

Alice was entirely frozen right now, as she didn't understand what was going on at all, and her mouth and mind were totally shut as if her soul had run out of her body.

The state of other disciples' mind could also be only imagined, because they were the least prepared for this to happen as they were now witnessing what they thought to be a madman, doing something even the smartest person among themselves could barely achieve after much more effort!

This phase of silence and dumbfoundedness continued for a while when finally, one of the disciples could tolerate no further and uttered, "Ehhhhh, what's going onnnn?"

Coming out of that state, the other students also began to voice their astonished thoughts.

"Have we all gone nuts? We must've, right? Otherwise... how could that madman make the orb change into ten percent all of a sudden..."

"This must be a joke..." Alice who had finally snapped out of it mumbled while gritting her teeth.

"LOOK AT THE ORB!" Afterward, Alice was just about to voice her thoughts at the pagoda master when an attention seeking shout was heard from one of the disciples which immediately draw everyone's attention to the orb once again.

But what they saw sent them into another phase of disbelief because... in front of them, the bar percentage had increased once again, but this time, into... twenty percent!

Simultaneously, inside the white space, Virus was once again looking upward toward the hovering books which had now increased to two hundred books!

'Hmm, the people outside should be raising a ruckus by now...' Virus thought to himself as he gazed at the books once more before taking it back and beginning another round of inputting knowledge into empty and blank books.

Thirty seconds later, another round of a hundred books joined the other flying books, hovering beside them.

Seeing the percentage bar change into twenty percent, everyone was in disbelief and confusion, but before they could even react in any way, it changed into thirty percent!

After that, it seemed the numbers had no intention of stopping as the percentage kept increasing...

Forty percent...

Fifty percent...

Sixty percent!

It had almost instantly changed numbers three times after hitting thirty percent, leaving all of the disciples, Astes, and the pagoda master, unable to show any kind of reaction whatsoever.

Everyone was bewildered already before, but this bewilderment jumped to another level as they no longer understood what they were seeing anymore.

Though other than experiencing bewilderment and shock, Alice was despairing by now after seeing the numbers grow continuously, as she was completely helpless to do anything about it.

Now, everyone could only watch the numbers continuing to rise.

Right now, Inside the white space, Virus was filling the books one after another and only paused for a little while after every hundred books were filled with knowledge to the brim.

He was pausing because he didn't want it to seem like the percentage had jumped from zero to hundred percent abruptly, which would make them doubt him even more in return.

He wanted everyone to at least have a sense of the increase and what was going on.

So, after a short pause, he began another round of filling books.

Seven hundred books...

Eight hundred books...

Nine hundred books...

He continued this repetitive process until he had finally completed nine hundred books altogether!

'Let's see how much time has passed since I began...' Virus thought as he glanced at the countdown.

119:47:10

'Hmm... with the pause of one minute or less between every ten percents... they should've clearly seen the swift gradual increase...' Virus pondered to himself.

'Okay... Let's wrap this up now...'

Outside the door, everyone was looking at the orb quietly with so many emotions mixed that they longer knew how to express.

They were all just looking at the ninety percent bar in front of them, as if they were expecting something impossible to happen, maybe just a miracle before today.

In the meantime, different thoughts were passing through everyone's minds.

'Don't tell me...'

'Would he... would he be able to make the percentage bar....'

'It's definitely impossible... but how did he achieve the past ninety percent if it's impossible... is a hundred percent just something expected of him to achieve now?'

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.'

'This must be a dream.'

'Have I gone crazy? I must be seeing wrong... everything must be continuing ordinarily with that madman already failing the exam... wake up!'

~SLAP!

Finally, at the same time as a particular disciple slapped himself in the face, the bar percentage was filled and it changed into...

A full hundred percent!
