Chapter 74 — You Don’t Think Lu Sheng Could Break My Record, Do You?

Beep~

The prompt made everyone immediately looked towards the display screen outside the room.

People had their hearts slightly suspended fearing that the number on the display would accidentally take a jump up again by another notch.

“Four minutes, three seconds, and twenty-four milliseconds under 8x gravity …” Someone almost groaned out a value on the screen.

The crowd stirred for a moment and then fell into collective silence.

At times, when the shock is too much to take in, you simply become numb and get used to it.

“This is not Lu Sheng’s true limit …” Someone was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.

No one refuted it, and many people had complex expressions after hearing it. Indeed, almost everyone who has been in the Gravity Training Room understood.

In that environment, when you really reached the limit of your physical strength, it would be difficult for you to even move your little finger. You’d have to rely on people outside to help deactivate the gravity.

On the other hand looking at Lu Sheng, who not only had turned off the gravity by himself, but he could even stand up and walk. The gap between them and him simply couldn’t be defined with the word “big”.

Creak~

The door to the gravity room slowly opened from the inside.

Everyone’s expression changed, and then they saw a handsome young man with an upright posture walking out of the room calmly.

Lu Sheng.

Seeing the group crowding outside the door, Lu Sheng’s face showed no fluctuations.

After stopping his cultivation, he released his highly concentrated spiritual power and had already sensed the existence of these people outside the room.

“Lu … Lu Sheng, towel …” A medium-sized, slightly overweight boy took the initiative to hand a clean white towel to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment and quickly took the towel. He nodded at the boy and said: “Thank you.”

He vaguely remembered this boy. He seemed to be one of the students who came to participate in training from Baihe City this time.

“No … no need to thank me. It’s my pleasure …” The boy’s face turned red with excitement and he was incoherent.

It seemed that Lu Sheng accepting his towel was an extremely glorious and face-saving thing for him. Several people next to him even showed envious expressions.

Lu Sheng casually grabbed the towel and wiped off the thin layer sweat on his body. He turned his head to check his performance on the display screen.

After seeing the specific statistical time, Lu Sheng showed a regretful expression on his face.

If he had known that it would take so little time, he wouldn’t have paid for three hours. He had lost a lot of points in vain.

However … Lu Sheng thought of something and took out his ID card and swiped it on the display screen.

He should have broken the record of the Gravity Training Room. If he remembered correctly, there was a point reward for breaking records.

Beep beep~

A value popped up on the display screen.

“Balance: 4,335.”

Hiss~

Before Lu Sheng could speak, there were sounds of deep inhalation, like people were sucking air, from behind him.

A full four-digit point value!

Many people subconsciously reached out to touch their ID cards in their pockets. A number jumped out in their hearts and then their faces showed a dejected expression.

It had to be known that the total sum of points of everyone present wouldn’t be anywhere near half of the points Lu Sheng had.

The majority of people did not even have a fraction of the points Lu Sheng had.

Was this the difference between us? No, this is the difference between humans and monsters. Many people thought firmly in their hearts.

…

More than 4,000 points. Lu Sheng nodded. That was almost enough for him to squander. Even if he drowned himself in training rooms every day until training camp ended, these points might not be spent.

Where should I go next?

Lu Sheng thought for a while and quickly determined his direction. The crowd dispersed like tidal water to both sides spontaneously giving way for Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng walked casually in one direction with a light breeze around him. A group of people followed closely behind him while deliberately keeping a certain distance from him.

The scene was like a tiger travelling in a forest with hundreds of beasts following behind.

“Where is he going?” Dong Qingxue looked at Lu Sheng’s figure with her eyebrows furrowed.

Qin Shaojun looked in a direction for a moment and said thoughtfully: “It seems like … the Agility Training Room.”

Dong Qingxue’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke: “Call Xia Lin over.”

…

“Training completed. Result: The second stage (87% completion)! Congratulations, Martial Artist No. RU284363. Your body technique has surpassed 52% of trainees.”

The pleasant prompt sounded and Meng Jinhe stopped his training with a smile on his face. This training session had increased his completion rate by 6% in stage two.

He had also surpassed a lot of other trainees during this session. The surpassing rate was a feature of the Agility Training Room.

Every performance in the Agility Training Room would be uploaded to the World Martial Alliance terminals to obtain a world ranking in body techniques and combat ability.

Although this ranking did not include all martial artists in the world, it was still quite authoritative.

Meng Jinhe had completed 87% of stage two in Agility Training Room and surpassed 52% of martial artists worldwide. That was more than half of them!

How many martial artists worldwide used the Agility Training  Rooms? Just one half must include at least several hundred million trainees.

Not to mention that it may also include many martial artists whose strength was above oneself.  Moreover, once oneself makes another breakthrough, one may continue to improve.

He saw a very promising future ahead. Meng Jinhe was surrounded by a huge sense of accomplishment and complacency as he walked out of the training room.

He was already prepared for how to meet those surprised and admiring eyes outside the door. But his expectations fell short.

There was no one outside the training room where usually a crowd would gather, waiting at the door. There wasn’t even someone to hand him water or towels.

“What happened?” Meng Jinhe was puzzled.

He had just worked so hard in the training room thinking how shocked people would be of his achievements. He didn’t expect no one to show up. It turned out that he was wrong in expecting something from a blind bunch.

“Huff puff~”

A man with dark complexion and an honest appearance ran quickly towards Meng Jinhe.

“Ah! Jinhe! You’re out!” The man saw Meng Jinhe and exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes.”

Meng Jinhe smiled and deliberately looked at the display screen outside the training room with his eyes. He said: “I was in a good form today. There’s been another significant improvement …”

Meng Jinhe wanted to mention that he had achieved an 87% completion rate today, but the man didn’t care at all. He just quickly said: “Oh, oh! Since you’re done then hurry up! Everyone is here for Lu Sheng …”

After speaking, he picked up a bottle of water on the ground and ran away without looking back.

“Huh…” Meng Jinhe Froze in place, not knowing what expression to make.

What happened?

He looked in the direction the boy had left, and only then did he notice that just a short distance away from him, a large group of people were gathered there.

It was also a Agility Training Room like the one he was in.

“It can’t be that someone broke my record, right?” Meng Jinhe’s first reaction was to think of such a possibility. Other than that, why would they all rush and group up in some other room instead of rushing up to him?

Meng Jinhe hurriedly walked towards the room. When he arrived, he swept a glance at the dense crowd and foundd the group of people who would usually follow him around, and went up to them.

“Who are you looking at?” Meng Jinhe peered over the shoulder of a man.

“Jinhe!!”

When the man saw Meng Jinhe, he hurriedly gave way his position and greeted him warmly: “Come, come here. This is a good location.”

“Who the hell are you looking at?” Meng Jinhe got a little impatient.

“Lu Sheng. We’re looking at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng just went in!” A person next to him quickly answered.

“Lu Sheng? The Lu Sheng from Baihe city?” Meng Jinhe froze for a moment, and then said with amusement, “You guys don’t think Lu Sheng can break my record, do you? Have you gone crazy?”

The person who answered him looked him up and down with a strange look and turned his head away from him. Meng Jinhe was baffled.

What’s wrong? Had he said something wrong?

That Lu Sheng who hadn’t left his room for a month? His strength must’ve definitely taken a plunge after a month of not doing anything.

At this time, a familiar boy next to him secretly tugged at Meng Jinhe’s arm and whispered: “Jinhe! Don’t say such things. Lu Sheng just broke our training camp’s record in the Gravity Training Room. He persisted for more than four minutes under 8x gravity. He even stunned Cao Yong.”

“Now he is preparing to practice body techniques. He might also surpass you … Let’s watch before we discuss.”

Buzz~

Meng Jinhe’s head went blank when he heard words like ‘8x gravity’. His mouth gradually opened wide showing an incredulous expression on his face.

Eight times the gravity?

Four minutes?

Lu Sheng?

What’s going on?!

…

“If the light touches any part of the body then it’s considered a failure … The difficulty will increase with each stage …”

Lu Sheng carefully read the introduction of the rules posted on the wall of the Agility Training Room, gaining a general understanding of the rules of this training room.

“My body technique has been stuck at a bottleneck for a while. Although I haven’t had much practical training in the dream world in the past month, the advanced training of ‘Stellar Body Refining Technique’ has greatly improved various aspects of my physical fitness. With the increase in vitality (BQV) and spiritual power … There should be a significant improvement in my speed and agility, but I wonder how much I have improved. Now is the perfect time to test it.”

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Sheng reached out and pressed the start button embedded on the wall.
