Could He Really Last Five Minutes?

Hm?

Five minutes?

Lan Linglong looked at Kong Xin in surprise.

One had to know that five minutes was already the limit that those Blood Refining Realm martial artists in the Military could achieve.

Kong Xin actually had such high expectations for Lu Sheng?

Although Lu Sheng was quite talented, this was only his first time encountering Standing Meditation. Compared to those who had practiced it for a long time, Lu Sheng was like a beginner.

How long could a beginner in the Blood Qi Realm last?

Although Lan Linglong had some doubts in her heart, she did not voice them. She knew very well just how terrifying her First Senior Sister's judgment was.

Whenever she said something, she was rarely wrong.

"Five minutes..."

Lan Linglong's beautiful eyes settled on Lu Sheng.

"Perhaps... Junior Disciple Brother really can bring me a surprise!"

For a moment, a faint glimmer of anticipation appeared in Lan Linglong's eyes.

Meanwhile, the other disciples of Heaven and Earth Dojo in the training hall also turned their attention to Lu Sheng.

"Poor Third Senior Brother. He's never even encountered Standing Meditation before, yet First Senior Sister dragged him over for training today!"

Some looked at Lu Sheng with a trace of pity in their eyes and shook their heads.

"I wonder how long Third Senior Brother can last on his first try. Wang Lin, when you first tried Standing Meditation, how long did you last?"

Someone looked toward Wang Lin, who was still holding on nearby.

At that moment, Wang Lin was already drenched in sweat, his face flushed bright red. He was clearly still enduring it.

But after hearing everyone's words, he answered with difficulty, "When I first tried Standing Meditation, I was already at the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer. I barely managed to hold on for one minute!"

"One minute? That's already an excellent result for someone trying Standing Meditation for the first time. At the very least, it's on par with others in the same realm. Wang Lin, your talent is pretty good!"

Everyone looked at Wang Lin in surprise before shifting their gazes back to Lu Sheng.

"Third Senior Brother is trying Standing Meditation for the first time, and he's at the peak of the Blood Qi Realm. He should be able to last one minute, perhaps even longer!"

"Yeah, he should be able to last one minute. Maybe Third Senior Brother can even hold on for two minutes. After all, two minutes is about the result achieved by those peak Blood Qi Realm martial artists in the Military!"

The crowd discussed it quietly, but their eyes remained fixed on Lu Sheng.

Some even secretly glanced at the clock mounted on the wall of the training hall and began timing him in silence.

Ten seconds!

Twenty seconds!

Thirty seconds!

One minute!

Time swiftly trickled away, and one minute passed.

When everyone looked at Lu Sheng again, they found that although dense beads of sweat had formed on his forehead,

his body remained exceptionally steady, without the slightest sign of swaying.

A trace of envy appeared in some people's eyes.

"As expected of Third Senior Brother. Since the Dojo Master took him on as a personal disciple, he truly isn't an ordinary person. It's his first time trying Standing Meditation, yet one minute hasn't even made Third Senior Brother flinch!"

"Yeah. It looks like our Third Senior Brother has quite the strong physique!"

Everyone murmured softly.

At that moment, Lu Sheng had begun to feel as though all the muscles in his body were secreting lactic acid. That wave after wave of aching intensity constantly stimulated the nerves in his brain.

"This stance may look simple, but maintaining it continuously is no easy matter!"

Lu Sheng sighed inwardly.

It was only because he had improved his physique considerably during this period through his Slaughter Talent. Otherwise, trying Standing Meditation today would probably have made him suffer quite a bit after only one minute.

He would not have felt merely a slight ache after one minute had passed.

"Still... although it's somewhat painful, if I can persist, it'll also temper my entire body!"

A sharp glint flashed through Lu Sheng's eyes.

Lu Sheng could naturally tell that although Standing Meditation was painful and even pulled at every muscle in his body, that pain came from his muscles being trained.

If he persisted for a long time, his physique would gradually improve as well.

"As expected of First Senior Sister. She even knows a training method like this!"

Lu Sheng murmured inwardly, then settled his mind and continued holding the Standing Meditation stance with meticulous precision.

Time slowly passed as Lu Sheng persisted.

Soon, two minutes had passed since Lu Sheng began Standing Meditation.

Over those two minutes, aside from sweating more than before and his face turning slightly red, Lu Sheng showed no other changes.

His body remained exceptionally steady!

"This..."

The surrounding disciples of Heaven and Earth Dojo stared at Lu Sheng, who remained as steady as a mountain, their faces filled with shock.

Wang Lin, who had been enduring all this time, had now collapsed listlessly onto the floor. Looking at Lu Sheng, who had already held on for two minutes, bitterness surfaced on his face.

"No wonder the Dojo Master personally took him as a disciple. Third Senior Brother's physique... is even comparable to mine!"

Wang Lin shook his head.

As early as a month ago, Wang Lin had already been a peak Blood Qi Realm martial artist. Now, he had long since broken through the Blood Qi Realm and reached the Blood Refining Realm.

Yet even after becoming a Blood Refining Realm martial artist, he could only maintain Standing Meditation for a little over three minutes. Lu Sheng had only lasted two minutes so far, but judging from the way he looked...

Lasting another minute would not be a problem at all!

In the rest area.

Seeing that Lu Sheng had held on for two minutes and was still able to remain steady, obvious surprise appeared on Lan Linglong's face.

However, that surprise was soon replaced by a gentle smile.

"As expected of Junior Disciple Brother!"

That smile was like a spring breeze brushing across one's face, gentle and flowing.

Time continued to inch forward.

Two minutes!

Two and a half minutes!

Three minutes!

Soon, the time reached four and a half minutes. At that moment, Lu Sheng seemed to have reached his limit, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This trembling was no longer something Lu Sheng could control. His muscles had completely reached their limit and were shaking involuntarily.

Even his Standing Meditation posture began to deform amid the constant trembling.

Lu Sheng's face began to twist from the immense pain brought by Standing Meditation.

Yet at that moment, the only thing left in the eyes of all the Heaven and Earth Dojo disciples as they looked at Lu Sheng was admiration.

"Four and a half minutes... On Third Senior Brother's first attempt at Standing Meditation, could he really surpass five minutes?!"
