CH 77

Chapter 77 – Breath of the Wind, Sense of Time, Level 3 Spiritual Master!

Ignoring the gloomy Qin Shaojun, Dong Qingxue thought for a moment and looked down at Xia Lin.

“Do you think that if you break through and become a Level 1 Spiritual Master and can control six Star Awls, you’ll be able to …”

There was a hint of anticipation in Dong Qingxue’s words. However, Xia Lin did not wait for her to finish her sentence and immediately shook her head. Like a rattle-drum.

“That’s impossible, Instructor Dong. I’m still lacking a lot …”

Xia Lin was not stupid. She could guess what Dong Qingxue meant. She wanted her to challenge Lu Sheng? She refused!

She might have had some thoughts prior to this. After all, Lu Sheng was a scar in her spiritual power. She had to find a way to make up for it.

However, that was just a thought. But now … Stop kidding! She did not want to fight such a perverse guy.

She had seen Lu Sheng’s performance in the Agility Training Room clearly with her spiritual Strength, especially during the third stage.

Xia Lin felt that she might not be able to dodge the dense net of rays even if she controlled the Star Awls.

However, Lu Sheng cleared it.

He, despite his gains in physique, managed to not suffer a single hit from those attacks.

That was ridiculous!

How could she treat such a freakishly strong and terrifying guy as an opponent?

Spiritual setback?

There was nothing to do about it.

She would not die if she did not do it, but if she did … She might be beaten to death by that guy. Just like the instructor during the entrance examination.

She could still remember the day of the assessment. Lu Sheng had grabbed one of the young instructor’s legs, as he was lying on the ground like a corpse.

She still had lingering fears when she thought about it.

Dong Qingxue saw the determination on Xia Lin’s face and suddenly felt a little helpless. She could only nod and say, “Alright.”

Xia Lin immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

…

At the moment, Lu Sheng had already begun the fourth stage of the body movement training in the Agility Training Room.

Dozens of densely packed rays formed a mesh-like net of beams, which only a small square in between the interspersing lines.

It was also shockingly fast. It was almost instantaneous.

Lu Sheng, who had just broken through to a new realm, immediately felt waves of pressure after regaining a sense of ease.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath. The rhythm of his breathing underwent a miraculous change at that moment.

“Switch to Wind Breathing Technique!”

In an instant, Lu Sheng’s body seemed to be surrounded by a gentle breeze. His already extremely fast speed suddenly became even faster.

This was the second special breathing technique that Lu Sheng had comprehended during his month-long seclusion.

Wind Breathing Technique!

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Sheng’s current speed was already fast enough to become a phantom. They could no longer see Lu Sheng’s movements clearly. He could only catch a glimpse of the mesh appearing and disappearing in a flash.

Lu Sheng’s body seemed to sway.

Then, he cleared.

As for how he cleared? There was simply no way to understand.

Many people looked at the mesh of rays that was as fine as a fishing net, their expressions shocked and confused.

They simply couldn’t understand it.

The distance between them was so small, and they couldn’t touch each other at all.

How did Lu Sheng pass through?

Shrinking in the blink of an eye and then expanding in the blink of an eye?

Come on, this isn’t a fantasy movie plot.

At this moment, Lu Sheng’s figure quickly became tall and distant in the eyes of the students. His entire body was surrounded by a thick sense of mystery.

The unknown was the easiest thing to inspire awe in people.

“This kid doesn’t just have the Intricate Realm Movement Technique. His physical fitness and reaction speed are also frighteningly fast. It’s definitely not something an ordinary Level 3 Martial Artist can achieve …” Qin Shaojun smacked his lips and sighed.

Dong Qingxue did not say anything.

At this moment, she had already spread her Spiritual Strength throughout the entire training room, observing Lu Sheng from all angles.

She was trying to dig out something from Lu Sheng. If not for the fear of affecting Lu Sheng, her Spiritual Strength would have clung onto Lu Sheng’s body.

As time went on, it was getting harder and harder for Lu Sheng to dodge.

Every time the mesh of rays swept past, he had to make a few or even a dozen dodging movements in less than a second. Outsiders would not know that there was actually a gap in space between the mesh.

They seemed to sweep past at the same time, but there was actually a difference in speed between them. What Lu Sheng needed to do was to use this time difference to quickly dodge the rays one after another.

One could imagine how difficult this was.

“The speed boost from the Wind Breathing Technique isn’t going to be enough …”

Lu Sheng’s breathing was getting faster and faster, and more sweat was seeping out of his body. His crystal-clear eyes were getting brighter and brighter, like the stars in the sky.

“I’m almost at my true limit.” Lu Sheng narrowly dodged another round of rays.

He glanced at the data on the wall of the room — the completion rate of the fourth stage was 23%.

“Then …” Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and a bright light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

“I’ll give it my all!” In the next breath, the enormous spiritual strength in his mind suddenly exploded.

The two strands of spiritual strength that were entrenched in the surrounding air were forcibly squeezed out by his sudden outburst.

In his chest, his two hearts were beating loudly, and his blood was roaring in his veins. At this moment, Lu Sheng felt as if the walls were rapidly moving away from him.

Everything in front of him was magnified and being slowed down.

Lu Sheng could clearly see streaks of red light moving towards him at a rather slow speed. This feeling was very strange, as if the flow of time had slowed down.

Lu Sheng had a sudden epiphany. He recalled the information about spiritual masters he had found through the Photon Mind in the dream world.

“If I remember correctly, this state, in the professional terminology of spiritual masters, should be called … Time Perception!”

The feeling of time being stretched out. The manifestation of a qualitative change in Spiritual Energy.

This qualitative change would usually only occur in … A Level 3 Spiritual Master!

In other words, after tirelessly cultivating the advanced chapter of Crystal Visualization, Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture, for more than a month, Lu Sheng had finally officially stepped into … The ranks of a Level 3 Spiritual Master!

…

At the same time, outside the cultivation room.

Boom!

A loud explosion startled everyone in the training hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion in shock and bewilderment.

They saw their Genius Training Camp’s chief instructor, Dong Qingxue, standing not far away from them. She was staring in the direction of the training room, and her expression had turned strange.

Under Dong Qingxue’s feet, the hard magnetic tiles shattered into a large spider web patterns. Waves of terrifying and powerful Blood Qi waves were recklessly erupting from Dong Qingxue’s body.

“Are you crazy?!”

Qin Shaojun exclaimed in disbelief. He did not notice that Xia Lin, who was beside him, had her mouth agape and eyes wide open. She looked as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Dong Qingxue stared blankly at the training room for a long time, turning a deaf ear to the surrounding reactions.

The Blood Qi waves on her body only calmed down when the strange light in her eyes slowly faded away.

Dong Qingxue slowly turned her head and looked directly into Qin Shaojun’s eyes. Then, she said softly in a low and strange tone, “Lu Sheng is a Spiritual Master. And his Spiritual Strenght … is not inferior to mine.”

“Huh?” Qin Shaojun exclaimed. He did not seem to understand.

Three seconds later, a loud “What the fuck!” resounded through the training hall.

Boom!

Another terrifying Blood Qi wave erupted with a loud bang. Large patches of tiles on the ground were shattered. Only this time, all the cracks came from under Qin Shaojun’s feet.

The students in the distance were all confused and baffled. They did not know what was going on. To be able to make the two chief instructors act strangely as if they had taken too many drugs …

A round of meshes quickly swept past.

Lu Sheng’s body suddenly froze. Then, he quickly relaxed and stood quietly where he was.

He had failed.

Lu Sheng’s expression was a little regretful, but he also realized that he had indeed reached his limit.

Although he had activated “Time Perception” and used the Wind Breathing Technique and the Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture to increase his Blood Qi … His raw strength was still a little lacking.

Being able to see the ray’s trajectory clearly did not mean that he could dodge it.

Time had been “stretched”, but Lu Sheng’s own movements had also been slowed down. In the end, the ray’s speed became faster and faster. He really could not keep up.

“Unless my Blood Qi and physique continue to make breakthroughs, this is my true limit.” Lu Sheng looked at the final result on the wall in the room.

“Training completed. Training result: Stage Four completion rate: 56%! Congratulations to Martial Artist RU 285632. Your movement technique has surpassed 97% of the trainees.”

A pleasant notification sounded in the room. Lu Sheng listened to the final result report and secretly reminded himself in his mind.

“There are still three percent of trainees who are better than me in terms of movement techniques. How many martial artists are there in the world? Three percent is at least a few million. I’m still very weak. I need to work harder.”

With that thought, Lu Sheng pushed open the door of the Agility Training Room and stepped out.

The crowd at the door was already petrified.

Their mouths were wide open, and their expressions were exaggerated as if someone had just punched them in the head.

They watched Lu Sheng walk out of the training room, their minds still echoing with the results.

“Stage Four completion rate: 56% …”

“His movement technique has surpassed 97% of the martial artists in the world …”

“How many martial artists are there in the world? There must be at least a few hundred million of them. Lu Sheng is already ahead of hundreds of millions of people in terms of movement techniques …”

Meng Jinhe, in particular, was even more dizzy.

He remembered that his previous result report was that he had surpassed 52% of the martial artists in the world. Lu Sheng’s was 97%.

There was a difference of 45% between him and Lu Sheng.

45% of the martial artists in the world.

In other words … In terms of movement technique, which he was most proud of, there was a difference of a few hundred million ranks between him and Lu Sheng!!!

Meng Jinhe’s pride and self-esteem were shattered into pieces.
