Accidentally Breaking a Record

Ten, ten, ten...

Only after swallowing the tenth High-Grade Nutrition Bar did Lu Chong feel a sense of satisfaction, his body's blood and qi temporarily reaching a saturated state.

Looking at his cultivation level again, Lu Chong was once again surprised.

Level: Martial Artist First Stage (80%)

"This is a rhythm that's about to break through to Second Stage."

Most importantly, he felt his whole body filled with strength, his blood and qi flowing continuously, giving him a feeling of fullness that he couldn't suppress.

However, Lu Chong had not yet come into contact with Earth-Rank Martial Skills, so he didn't know how to project his blood and qi power outwards to form what was called Gang Qi.

Putting his current state aside for the moment, Lu Chong opened his eyes and saw several pairs of red eyes in front of him.

"Teacher Fang, Instructor, do I have flowers on my face?" Lu Chong touched his cheek and asked curiously.

Principal Fang sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, it's just ten High-Grade Nutrition Bars. I won't argue with you, kid."

Ten Nutrition Bars were worth a million.

Cheng Dongye, standing beside him, complained resentfully, "Old Principal, that's not fair. Five of us instructors also contributed, all exchanged with our military merits."

Principal Fang coughed lightly and turned around, saying boldly, "What's yours and what's mine? As special training instructors, you have nothing to teach, shouldn't you at least provide some nutritional supplements for the students?"

Heh!

Alright, it seems none of us instructors can escape this kid's schemes.

The instructors exchanged glances, knowing that this military merit was gone for good.

However, to be honest, they didn't really care that much. Seeing such a student emerge from the Special Training Camp made them feel very satisfied.

Cheng Dongye spoke up, "But the High-Grade Martial Skill we talked about earlier is gone."

Lu Chong quickly smiled and thanked them, "Thank you, instructors. I'm content."

If he were to push his luck any further, he was truly afraid these instructors might lose their temper.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Principal Fang looked at Lu Chong seriously again, "What I'm curious about now are your basic data after breaking through."

Lu Chong also really wanted to know how much stronger he was compared to an ordinary Martial Artist who had just broken through.

After all, his Qi Absorbing Art had been evolved, and the Nutrition Bars consumed for his breakthrough far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"There's a testing point here, come with me." Cheng Dongye said quickly.

The other instructors followed closely, looking like they were all eagerly anticipating Lu Chong's current state.

Lu Chong entered the testing point alone, while Principal Fang and the seven instructors waited outside, all intently watching the screen at the door.

"For an ordinary Martial Artist who has just broken through, the standard data is 1000 kg of strength, 25m/s of speed, and 100 turns of neural reaction."

"I wonder what level Lu Chong will reach," Cheng Dongye said to Principal Fang, probing.

Principal Fang shook his head, "It's hard to say. This kid has too many strange things about him, making him difficult to predict."

Another instructor, Liu Zifeng, said, "The Military Department's record is 3500 kg, 30m/s, and 120 turns. Overall, it's almost as strong as a Third Stage Martial Artist."

"Do you think Lu Chong has a chance to break the Military Department's record?"

Cheng Dongye shook his head slightly, "It's unlikely. The Military Department has absorbed so many talents over the years, and yet they still couldn't break this record."

Principal Fang agreed, "Indeed. As far as I know, no candidate has broken this record since the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination."

Just then, the screen flickered, and Lu Chong's strength data appeared.

Base Strength: 4500 kg

The people in front of the screen stared at each other, their eyes wide. This strength was heaven-defying; it was already the base strength of an ordinary Fourth Stage Martial Artist.

Principal Fang said with a slight embarrassment, "Strong strength doesn't mean the speed is enough..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the screen flashed again with the speed data.

Base Speed: 32m/s

The seven instructors ignored Principal Fang's expression and continued to stare intently at the screen.

This was the rhythm of breaking records, and they were the witnesses.

The last item, neural reaction speed, finally arrived—

Neural Reaction: 150 turns

Hiss...

Except for Principal Fang, the other instructors gasped.

This neural reaction was even more outstanding compared to strength and speed.

This was no longer a Martial Artist who had just broken through; it was almost comparable to an Eighth or Ninth Stage Martial Artist.

Principal Fang, however, was not surprised this time, as he was the one who personally taught Lu Chong the Tiger Roar Skill, which could enhance neural reaction.

He looked at the seven instructors with a solemn expression, "This matter, we still need to keep it a secret."

"Apart from Colonel Huang and Principal Wei, it absolutely cannot be leaked to anyone else."

"Understood, Principal Fang. Rest assured." The instructors responded with solemn expressions.

"You know better than I do that since human survival bases have stabilized in recent years, certain foreign powers have begun to stir again, even formulating a so-called Seed Removal Plan specifically targeting our Huaxia."

"Removing seeds? It's nothing more than targeting the promising young talent within our own borders."

"That is why the state seals away the baseline data of students' college entrance exams every year; it is never made public."

"Given the potential this kid has displayed, if foreign spies were to find out, they would likely stop at nothing to carry out an assassination."

After Principal Fang finished speaking with a heavy heart, the instructors' faces filled with indignation.

In the face of an invasion by an unknown civilization, humanity had struggled to hold onto its survival bases, yet those foreign powers were once again exposing their wolfish ambitions, making one ashamed to be associated with them.

As they spoke, Lu Chong emerged from the testing point, and the group immediately fell silent.

Principal Fang walked up to him with a beaming smile and said, "Not bad, very good indeed."

"Lu Chong, you don't need to participate in special training for the rest of the day. Go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for you to spar with a Martial Artist."

"Yes, teacher." Lu Chong, suspecting nothing, left directly.

However, Principal Fang's voice transmission echoed in his mind once more: "Come see me tonight."

Once Lu Chong had departed, Cheng Dongye looked at Principal Fang and said, "Principal Fang, actually, if we report Lu Chong's situation, he could be directly admitted to the Zhenwu Military Academy under a secret recommendation."

"There would be no need for him to take the college entrance exam," Cheng Dongye emphasized.

Principal Fang pondered for a moment. He neither opposed nor agreed, merely stating, "You can discuss this with him yourselves. As for whether he is willing to accept a guaranteed admission to the military academy, I am not sure."

But based on Principal Fang's understanding of Lu Chong, he felt the possibility was slim.

At this moment, Lu Chong had already returned to his tent and was observing his Martial Skill.

Just a moment ago, his Martial Skill had begun to undergo an inexplicable change on its own.
