Cosmic Demon

Chapter 108: Record-breaking, Classmate Qin (Second Update!)

The so-called training room is a training room that can control gravity.

Only elite students whose vitality reaches over 25 points and whose physical fitness has been strengthened to ensure that no additional damage is caused to their organs have the authority to use it.

An Jingchu made a phone call and asked someone to make the arrangements.

Qin Shize enjoyed a hearty breakfast, changed his clothes and took the elevator downstairs.

The entire apartment community covers a large area and has dedicated management personnel to handle various affairs for these students who are being trained as key students.

An Jingchu was waiting in the lobby, and when he saw Qin Shi, he quickly stood up to greet him:
"Student Qin, this is your ID card. New information has been entered to facilitate your use of all the facilities here."

Qin Shi raised his hand to take it. It was matte black and had a delicate touch, like a thin piece of jade.

The surface is painted with delicate cloud patterns, and at the bottom is a string of ancient seal script characters, which read the name and number.

"A pass for gifted students..."

he thought to himself.

What Miss An meant by "entering new information" is probably the citizenship level and the right to settle in the Tai'an urban area.

In the past, Qin Shi's label was the son of an employee of Jiuchang Street and a poor student in the Hongzhi class of Xinyi Middle School, which was nothing surprising.

Now, with the appreciation of Old Chen and the gift of symbolic emblems from the four pillars, his status and position are naturally different.

An Jingchu walked in front to lead the way and gave a reminder:

"Student Qin, each training session should not exceed thirty minutes, as it will put a lot of strain on your internal organs. If you want to ensure safety, you can go to the medical room next door for a full body check."

Qin Shi shook his head. The subtle perception of his inner world, coupled with his ability to digitize, was more accurate than any other instrument.

He followed An Jingchu through the corridor. There was a wooden floor under their feet. On one side hung large portraits of the ten great men of the first generation, and on the other side was a bright and clean glass window. The morning light shone in, making the corridor seem particularly bright.

The manager in dark work uniform came forward and bowed slightly.
"Student Qin, training room number one is ready."

Qin Shi felt like he had come to a club. Everyone he met had a smile on his face, a friendly attitude, and was full of enthusiasm for service.

I came from a relatively ordinary background, far inferior to the rich guys and girls in the elite class, but I was not despised or looked down upon.

It can be seen that the overall quality of jobs with a regular staff is indeed outstanding.

Much better than a makeshift team.

"I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."

Qin Shi politely thanked An Jingchu and the manager who helped start the machine.

He took out his own identification card, swiped it with a beep, and stepped into the empty room of about several dozen square meters.

Just tap your finger on the touch screen, set the basic parameters, and start practicing.

"First, get used to double the gravity."

After Qin Shi finished debugging, he suddenly felt an invisible field spreading out and his body began to become heavier.

He shook his neck and let out a long breath. Twelve large tendons wrapped around his body like black dragons, emitting boiling heat.

Almost instantly, gravity was offset.

Move as normal, without any delay.

“It’s far from the limit of my body.”

Qin Shi increased it again, raising the gravity to twice.

This time, his breathing rate began to change, and he needed to adjust his breathing and keep it steady in a more rapid and quicker manner.

The whole person is like diving into the deep sea, his body stuck in the sticky water current, and the energy consumed while waving and moving is extremely great.

"almost."

Qin Shi maintained the circulation of Qi, which involved and activated the muscle groups.

The lights in the training room slowly dimmed, and basic training in various nerve reactions, dynamic vision, and combat awareness began.

Half an hour later, the red indicator light in the training room lit up and the gravity field was gradually shut down.

Qin Shi gasped for breath, rested for a while, left the room, and asked the manager for two bottles of level 2 energy liquid for daily use.

After replenishing his energy, he returned to the training room.

"Challenge mode? Give it a try."

Qin Shi poked the screen.

The gravity field of the training room was turned on again and was adjusted up to three times the gravity.

hum!
The heavy field was like a tangible object, suppressing his mortal body, making Qin Shi stand stiffly in place, as if unable to move.

Whoosh!

The chest kept rising and falling like a bellows, and the circulation of qi reached its peak, like a rapidly rotating motor.

After about seven or eight seconds, Qin Shi took the first step, followed by the second step.

"Challenge mode activated."

A soft female voice sounded quietly, and a virtual scoreboard appeared above, with different markers.

The red arrow is for attacking, the blue arrow is for dodging.

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

Qin Shi's foot fell like a sledgehammer, shaking the solid ground. Wisps of hot air came out, turning into a large white mist.

The vitality that surged yesterday filled his flesh and blood, pushing his mortal body forward and causing it to burst out with strength and speed far beyond that of an ordinary person.

One after another, the projected red figures were constantly shattered.

No matter how fast the blue light flashed and moved, it could never touch my body and I just narrowly missed it every time.

After his spirit settled in the inner scene, Qin Shi's five senses became incredibly powerful. His brain seemed to be able to generate the surrounding environment in real time. He subconsciously dodged and evaded, and with the help of the Hundred Aspects Refining Technique, he was as fast as the wind. He was just like a swift ghost, silent and as fast as lightning.

In just a few seconds, the scoreboard jumped to five hundred and eighty!

"With the blessing of various achievement characteristics and breaking through the two limits, I have the confidence to face opponents with 30 or 40 points of vitality."

Qin Shi's heart was beating fast, pumping blood, and transforming into a condensed true energy, which was like an extended limb tearing at the strong wind, bringing up layer upon layer of raging waves.

As long as the red arrow popped out, he could hit it immediately and then avoid the dense blue light like hail.

Seven hundred points! Eight hundred points!
The scoreboard flashed rapidly and kept changing until the thirty minutes were up.

One thousand nine hundred points!

Qin Shi was sweating all over, but he felt refreshed after an intense workout. He looked at his first place ranking and felt secretly happy.

The second place just barely broke a thousand.

I am ahead by a huge margin.

"Sure enough, we still have to use the method of scoring points to arouse the desire to win."

Qin Shi slowed down his breathing and let the sweat drip. Such efficient training made his vitality surge again. It was like a tide, sweeping through his body and finally converging on the thriving seed of life.

Flesh 22→30.1
Spirit 30 → 36.8
Through the reflected figure, Qin Shi learned that his numerical value had increased.

"My overall vitality is probably in the early 30s. I entered a state of meditation yesterday, and the increase brought about by the fusion of my mind and body was too obvious."

Qin Shi couldn't help but think that if he could enter this state every day, he might be able to reach the professional level threshold soon.

"Morning exercises are over, it's time to choose the next victim of Qiguang Hengda."

……

……

Fifty minutes later, young boys and girls in sportswear came to the open practice area together.

The tall boy in the lead had long hair and an artistic temperament.

"Xu Mo, summer vacation is almost over. How much has your vitality improved?"

The pink-haired girl with pigtails asked in a lively tone.

The tall boy called Xu Mo shook his head:

"The full-time teacher I hired said that I had reached a plateau and it would be difficult for me to make any more rapid progress. I worked harder than usual throughout the summer vacation, but I only increased by five points."

Vitality development, similar to fitness, often has a novice benefit period and a plateau period.

The former is very effective at the beginning, physical fitness and physical strength increase quickly, and vitality can be condensed very quickly, but after passing this stage, it will begin to fall into a slow stagnation.

In the old martial arts, it is called "bottleneck".

Either you break through and embrace a new transformation; or you get stuck completely and find it difficult to move forward.

"Ask your father to get a bottle of Level 5 Energy Liquid. During the plateau period, you can only use other stimulation methods to promote the body's vitality to burst out."

The lively girl, whose clothes, trousers and shoes were all pink, smiled.

"It's not that easy to get the purchasing rights for the fifth-level energy liquid of United Pharmaceutical. I'm not like you, Yunzhu, whose family works in this field and has the connections and channels."

Xu Mo smiled bitterly, and then his words revealed strong confidence:
"I heard that Hengzhou has a training program for rising martial arts stars. If you are selected, not only will your citizenship level be improved, but you will also have certain purchasing privileges for those cultivation resources that are more strictly controlled."

Zhao Yunzhu shook her ponytail and sighed:
"My parents also mentioned this, but the conditions are too harsh. The martial arts new stars must be selected from Hengzhou. In addition to the top students in the Tai'an metropolitan area, they must also compete with those in the central city. Some of them have already reached the admission standards of first-class universities, and their vitality has exceeded 40 points.

And he has mastered the A-level and B-level teaching materials, fighting methods, training methods, breathing techniques, meditation techniques...physique, spirit, combat, all-round development, all of which are monsters!"

Xu Mo looked helpless. Speaking of monsters, there was such a monster in the talent apartment building where they lived.

"Lu Hui, who is at the 16th level, seems to be close to breaking 30 points in vitality. I think he is determined to get the spot of the rising martial arts star."

Zhao Yunzhu shrugged and said:
"I don't have high expectations. I just want to get a score of 40 before the college entrance exam and pass the amateur level 6th dan. This way, my score will meet the admissions standards of Hengda University."

Xu Mo's eyes flickered. His family background was inferior to Zhao Yunzhu's, and the help his parents could provide was limited.

If better resources cannot be obtained, Qiguang Hengda may not be a sure thing.

He forced a laugh:
"It's rare that the training room is open, so we should hurry up."

The two walked to the front desk together, and the manager confirmed the ID card and said:
"Training Room No. 1 is being cleaned, and only Training Room No. 2 is currently available."

Xu Mo glanced at Zhao Yunzhu and said in a gentlemanly manner:
"Yunzhu, you use it first..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed away by a tall figure.

The short-haired boy with headphones hanging around his neck showed his ID card and said as if the others were nothing:

"Help me open training room number two."

Zhao Yunzhu was furious:
"Lu Hui, first come first served, do you understand..."

The short-haired boy shrugged and said:
"You live on the 14th floor, I live on the 16th floor. You have 28 points of vitality, and I have 29 points of vitality. In terms of academic performance, training efficiency, and vitality development speed, the benefits I get from using the training room are far greater than yours.

In the elite class of Xinyi Middle School, aren't the top students given privileges and the poor students automatically given in? "

The short-haired boy named Lu Hui didn't seem to take Xu Mo and Zhao Yunzhu seriously. He held the ID card between his fingers and grinned:

"If you're not convinced, you can follow me to the battle room."

Zhao Yunzhu, who had been a little princess since she was young, had never experienced such humiliation before. Tears welled up in her eyes and she almost cried.

Xu Mo wanted to act like a hero and save his life, but he was definitely no match for Lu Hui, and it would be even more embarrassing to get beaten into a pig's head.

"Don't dare? Then get out of the way."

Lu Hui had a defiant look on his face as he swaggered towards training room No. 2.

As people who value grades above all else, it was obvious that Xu Mo and Zhao Yunzhu did not receive his respect and recognition.

"Forget it, Yunzhu, there's no need to be angry with him."

Xu Mo persuaded awkwardly that it was pointless to complain or reason about such things.

The talent development program they participated in was based on performance as the standard and potential as the benchmark.

It is ridiculous to expect to be treated fairly when neither of them can compare to Lu Hui.

"Training Room No. 1 is almost ready. I'll wait a little longer."

Zhao Yunzhu wiped the corners of his eyes and adjusted his mood.

The two of them walked through the corridor, deliberately keeping a distance from Lu Hui, as if they had formed a circle and excluded him.

The latter didn't care at all and habitually opened the screen to check the scores. Getting first place in any event made him feel comfortable and happy.

"Triple gravity? One thousand nine hundred percent? How is that possible!"

Lu Hui's defiant look completely disintegrated like a glass bottle being smashed, and was replaced by a look of shock and disbelief.

He widened his eyes and stared at the identity information of the first place, his head full of doubts.

"Who is Qin Shi?!"

Xu Mo and Zhao Yunzhu, who were quite far away, couldn't help but murmur when they saw Lu Hui's expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"What is he shouting?"

"You look very unhappy, as if you had eaten a fly..."

The two did not go over until Training Room No. 1 was cleaned and reopened.

Zhao Yunzhu also opened the screen and checked the score ranking while debugging the parameters.

She opened her mouth slightly, with intense surprise in her eyes:

"One thousand nine hundred points! Three times the gravity! The vitality should be thirty-five points, right?"

Zhao Yunzhu stared blankly at the updated record, and inexplicably felt that he seemed to have heard the first place somewhere before.

"Qin Shi... I think we also have this name in Xinyi Middle School?"
