Chapter 55 — When Did You Let in a Level 4 Martial Artist?
“Do you remember the batch we were in? That person … Xiang Peng.” Dong Qingxue asked.
Qin Shaojun nodded. “I know. There were many talented people in that batch …”
The batch Dong Qingxue was referring to had more than 20 Gifted Martial Artists in the Prodigy Training Camp.
The Xiang Peng she was talking about was the “king” of that batch. When he entered the camp, his BQV was close to a Level 3 Martial Artist’s, and his strength was extraordinary.
He was almost everyone’s “nightmare”.
Qin Shaojun recalled parts of his body that were beaten up by him, which he still felt were hurting. One could only imagine how terrifying that guy was back then.
“He’s now …” Dong Qingxue paused, and said in a more tactful way, “He’s not as dazzling as before.”
Qin Shaojun nodded silently.
In truth, Dong Qingxue did not know that he had secretly gone to look for that person once. When he went, he gritted his teeth and wanted to take revenge for what happened back then.
However, when he saw him, he was dispirited and could not arouse any interest. They were no longer on the same level. There was no need to even mention revenge.
“This Lu Sheng is talented, but it’s a pity …” Dong Qingxue picked up Lu Sheng’s information and scanned it from top to bottom. She sighed with emotion.
This time, it was Qin Shaojun’s turn to comfort Dong Qingxue.
“There’s nothing to pity. The ones who are truly pitiful are these people …”
Qin Shaojun patted the thick stack of information on the remaining students. He was speechless. “They only have one or two points of BQV and were coaxed in by you guys as geniuses. In reality, they’re just here to make up the numbers.
“Not only do they not get any benefits, but they might also be beaten up by these monsters. From then on, they’ll be left with deep and indelible physical and psychological trauma …”
Dong Qingxue rolled her eyes at him and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? You’re exaggerating. Even if they’re just there to make up numbers, the training camp will still be of great help to them. Other places don’t have such good cultivation conditions …”
Qin Shaojun shrugged. He did not comment.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the giant composite machine opposite them suddenly changed.
Qin Shaojun quickly walked over.
“It’s finally time for the show …” He whistled merrily.
On the console in front of him, a few indicators that were originally green suddenly turned red and made a slight noise.
“Passageway No. 3, two mechanical puppets have sustained more than 10% damage … Passageway No. 8 also has …”
Qin Shaojun held his coffee in one hand and quickly operated on the table with the other. Soon, two separate surveillance images were displayed on the huge display screen.
Dong Qingxue also came over to watch. In one of the images, there was a young man with a strong and sturdy figure.
The young man had a peculiar, pale gray-white hue on his face and body. As the Level 2 Mechanical Puppet attacked him, it produced a deep thud akin to a hammer striking the ground, leaving behind only a faint white imprint.
Taking advantage of its brief immobility, the young man rampaged through the passageway like a raging bull. One after another, the mechanical puppets were knocked to the ground by him. There were even some that were hit head-on, their shoulders and chests caved in from the impact.
“Is this the guy who awakened a defensive-type talent?
Stone Skin Constitution? I remember there was one in our batch as well …” Qin Shaojun said with slight surprise.
Dong Qingxue nodded and said, “Qi Meng, he’s currently serving in the Southern Military Region with the rank of Captain. Oh, yes, he now has upgraded it to Steel Physique.”
Qin Shaojun clicked his tongue.
On the other surveillance image was a skinny young man.
This young man was so fast that even the surveillance images could barely capture his figure.
All they could see was the mechanical puppets that were being attacked continuously on the screen, appearing extremely clumsy.
“Speed type, he’s always been shameless …” Qin Shaojun sighed.
At this moment, a series of urgent notifications suddenly rang from the table, and a few indicators turned from green to red.
“Loss rate of 15%, loss rate of 23%, loss rate of 30% …” Qin Shaojun looked at the series of numbers, and he seemed to grow excited. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and one of his hands moved quickly on the console.
Soon, the third surveillance image appeared on the big screen.
The content shown in this image was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. A skinny girl walked in the dark, sealed passageway with an expressionless face.
She did not have to do much.
Wherever she passed, the mechanical puppets in front of her would be repelled by an invisible force and embedded deep into the steel wall beside them, automatically making way for the girl.
“That’s … insane!”
Qin Shaojun looked at this scene that resembled the plot of a sci-fi movie and squeezed out a few choice words from his mouth. He looked at Dong Qingxue with eyes full of undisguised envy.
“You spiritual masters are like bugs in the system! Do you not want us ordinary people to live …?”
Dong Qingxue stared at the girl in the image without blinking. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said, “Spiritual masters are powerful, but the difficulty of cultivation is too high. After Level 3, their progress will be slow. Moreover, spiritual masters with weak talent can’t compare to martial artists, so they might as well focus on martial arts.
“However, it’s true that spiritual masters have an easier time breaking through to the Master level …”
Qin Shaojun listened to Dong Qingxue’s words with envy. He was about to take a sip from his coffee, when a series of ear-piercing alarms rang out of nowhere. It was very unsettling in the empty command room.
“What’s wrong?”
Both of them were startled. Qin Shaojun quickly operated on the table.
“Passageway 12 …”
When the information for passageway 12 was pulled out, Qin Shaojun suddenly screamed as if he had seen a ghost. He could not even hold the coffee in his hand properly, and it spilled all over the floor.
“Degree of damage 80%, degree of damage 87%, degree of damage … Fuck! There were a total of 20 mechanical puppets, and more than 15 of them are over 80% damaged. They’re almost scrapped!
“Dong Qingxue, when did you let in a Level 4 Martial Artist?!”
