Chapter 68 – What Is That Lu Sheng Doing?
In the following time, Lu Sheng wholeheartedly devoted himself to the training in the advanced scripture. He didn't care about anything else.
What training camp, what survival game, what assessment, what special training room … What could be more exciting than the crystallization of the wisdom of a martial artist who had been training for ten thousand years?
Nothing.
Apart from the three meals a day, Lu Sheng almost never left his room. All his time and energy were devoted to the training of the three, no, the four supreme techniques.
Fortunately, he had enough points. If it was just food and accommodation, it was enough for him to stay until the end of the training.
And Lu Sheng's strength also advanced by leaps and bounds in this training, sometimes even forgetting to eat and sleep.
…
In the huge training ground, there were various training equipment scattered on the ground, as well as residual sweat, blood, and black footprints … Yang Yuan held a mop in both hands and was working hard to clean the stains on the ground.
"Yang Yuan, you still haven't finished? Let me help you.” A girl walked in and saw Yang Yuan mopping the floor. She naturally picked up a mop and ran over to help.
"Thank you …” Yang Yuan stopped and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She showed a grateful smile to the girl.
"It's nothing. Didn't you help me earlier? Hurry up and finish up, otherwise I'll have to stay up all night again …" The girl sighed and buried her head in the mop.
Although her movements weren't standard, she was quite skilled. Yang Yuan nodded with a complicated expression.
It had been almost a month since she entered the training camp. During this time, it could be said that she had a difficult time.
Eating, drinking, sleeping, and living in the training camp all required points. Wanting to experience a better training environment also required points.
Everything required points.
Where did the points come from?
Wasn't it from doing odd jobs, running errands, and being a cleaner?
In order to enter the training room, or to ask the instructor for advice, sometimes she had to tighten her belt and starve for one or two meals. And the little bit of arrogance that belonged to a genius had long been worn away.
The current Yang Yuan was just a "pitiful worm" who hoped to "survive" in the training camp.
Every day she could stay was a day more in here.
Every day she stayed would be of great help to her future martial arts.
Yang Yuan secretly thought in her heart.
During this period of time, most of the trainees in the training camp had a hard time just like her. Everyone clenched their teeth and persevered, and those who couldn't persevere left early.
Compared to these students who lived at the "bottom", those with outstanding talents were even more dazzling.
"Have you heard? That Cao Yong from Yanglin City has already started to challenge the 4x gravity room …"
The girl who was helping mopped the floor to her side and raised her head to chat with her.
"Four times?"
Yang Yuan was shocked. "Really?"
"How could it be fake? Those guys in Yanglin City were so proud of themselves that they bragged to everyone they met that Cao Yong was about to become a Level 3 Martial Artist. After that, he would be able to challenge the higher gravity room. Who knew, he might even be able to set a new record in the training camp. You didn't see the faces of those people!"
The girl was full of disdain and contempt, but her eyes couldn't hide the sourness she felt.
Yang Yuan was shocked.
Four times the gravity.
She remembered that she had only stayed in the 2x gravity room for about 20 minutes before she almost passed out. She had no choice but to come out early.
Her heart ached for the points she had wasted.
Four times the gravity, wouldn't she be crushed to death if she went in?!
"What a freak!" Yang Yuan sighed, shook her head, and continued mopping the floor. The girl who was helping her was full of energy and continued to tell her all the rumors she had heard.
"… Donggang City's Meng Jinhe is also a monster. It is said that he has already completed 70% of the second stage of the agility training room. The highest record in the training camp is only about 20% in the third stage.
“And that Xia Lin, although her results in the training room aren't outstanding, I heard that Cao Yong and Meng Jinhe had privately sparred with her before. Guess what the result was? They both lost miserably! Do you think all spiritual masters are really that freakish?"
The girl chattered on, and the process contained all kinds of exaggerated tones and sighs. Yang Yuan silently mopped the floor, not saying a word.
Suddenly, the girl's words made her body tremble slightly.
"Yang Yuan, what do you think Lu Sheng has been doing all this time? Hiding in the room all day and not coming out. Is he learning from the ancient martial arts masters in the novels? Don't you have a good relationship with him? Do you know anything?"
Yang Yuan's hands paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
"I don't know."
The girl sighed, and said, "I guess you don't know either. This Lu Sheng, I don't know what he's doing. When he first came in, he was so fierce that the whole camp couldn’t say anything to him. In the end, he withered the next day …"
The girl picked up the mop in her hand and soaked it in the bucket. She shook her head and said, "Now that more than a month has passed, everyone's strength, including those of us who didn't mix well, has advanced by leaps and bounds. There are quite a few who have broken through to become Level 2 Martial Artists. If Lu Sheng doesn't come out soon, someone will probably catch up to him …
“Yang Yuan, do you think he's scared? If he knew there would be such an outcome, he might as well hide like a turtle and increase the sense of mystery?" The girl stared fixedly at Yang Yuan and asked.
Yang Yuan couldn't help but think of that youth's figure.
When he was still, he was like ice, silent, calm, low-key.
When he erupted, he was like a volcano, wanton, insolent, like a demon king who controlled everything.
"No, Lu Sheng isn't that kind of person." Yang Yuan said in a firm tone.
"Then he should hurry up and come out. Even if he doesn't support us, he should give us some face …"
The girl held the mop with a crazed expression, "It's not like you don't know how difficult it is now. Many of the people in the city have experts backing them, and all the easy and rewarding jobs have been snatched up. All that's left for us is some dirty and tiring jobs that earn us very few points. Those guys are specifically targeting us Baihe City people, can't you see?
“It's all because Lu Sheng was too arrogant when he entered the camp. Since he wants to hide like a turtle now, he shouldn't have attracted so much hatred. Isn't this just digging a hole for us? Fuck!"
The girl picked up the mop and heavily poked the bucket, causing water to splash everywhere.
Yang Yuan forced a smile and comforted, "You go take rest, I'll clean up here."
After saying that, she quietly cleaned up and didn't say anything else.
In a room where the six walls were as black as lead, a strong body sat cross-legged quietly. It was an eighteen or nineteen year old youth.
His skin was dark, and his appearance was ordinary. There was a trace of determination and fierceness between his brows.
The youth sat in the middle of the room, motionless, but as if he was enduring an incomparably strong pressure, all the muscles in his body trembled slightly.
Sweat condensed into a small stream, slowly flowing down from his muscles. His lower body was already wet.
After an unknown amount of time, the youth's face began to become serious and strained. He struggled to lift half a finger, moving it bit by bit, and lightly pressed on a white remote control made of unknown material.
Beep~
Following the beeping sound, the air in the room seemed to lighten. The youth exhaled deeply and slowly stood up from the ground, his whole body emitting a series of bone cracking sounds.
The youth walked out of the room, and a boy who had been waiting at the door immediately handed him a dry white towel.
The youth casually took it, and while wiping the sweat on his body, he casually asked, "How long did I last this time?"
"Three minutes and fifty-two seconds!"
The boy quickly reported a number, his face revealing an excited and worshipful expression.
"Cao Yong, you're really too strong. I thought you couldn't hold on any longer and I almost pressed the stop button outside, but you lasted another thirty seconds!"
There was a large one-way glass outside the gravity training room, so those standing outside could clearly see what was going on inside. This prevented the people in the room from being unable to stop training due to excessive gravity, resulting in a tragedy.
"Only a little more than a minute longer than last time?" Cao Yong frowned, then turned to the boy and said, "Next time I go in, I won't press the stop button myself. I’ll leave when I only have enough strength to move my little finger, and when you see me move, immediately hit stop."
"Okay."
The boy's face was full of admiration. "Cao Yong, you're going to put your life on the line. I'm sure you'll be able to fully adapt to four times the gravity and break through to become a Level 3 Martial Artist. When that time comes, no one in the entire training camp will be a match for you …"
"Level 3 Martial Artist?" Cao Yong muttered, not boasting. Coming back to his senses, Cao Yong asked the boy next to him, "Do you know what Xia Ling has been doing recently?"
The boy thought for a moment, then said, "Charlene rarely appears in the major training rooms. She has private tutoring from Chief Instructor Dong Qingxue, and she's also a spiritual master, so her special training methods are completely different from ordinary people …"
"Spiritual master!"
Cao Yong's eyes abruptly shot out a strong light. "So what if she's a spiritual master? As long as my defence is strong enough, spiritual masters are just a joke. Xia Lin has private tutoring from Chief Instructor Dong Qingxue, so what?… hmph-hmph-hmph …"
Cao Yong's eyes were filled with hostility, confidence, and arrogance.
Many people didn't know that the reason Cao Yong had improved so quickly was not only because of his outstanding talent, but also because he had a mysterious and powerful "online teacher"!
