Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 160 Serious
They knew too well what it meant to advance in physical training in half a year.

Those are the top ten levels of martial arts.

This kind of person is incomparable to ordinary second lieutenant cadets in terms of strength and potential.

Some old students who wanted to provoke or teach the new recruits a lesson shut up silently.

Wei Xiangqian and other students from Xihai Wuda University looked at each other.

The pressure on shoulders increased sharply.

If this Zhou Leng is not that Zhou Leng, winning or losing doesn’t matter.

But it happened to be Zhou Leng. If they lost, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it would be embarrassing.

They only spoke after Zhou Leng walked away.

"You guys from Xihai Wuda University have to go even if you don't want to."

"But he is still too young. You don't need to worry about him in the first one or two months."

No worries in the first one or two months, but what about after that?

Wei Xiangqian smiled calmly and said, "We are the least capable people in Xihai Wuda. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. But we can't be scared by a new recruit. Let's go."

Wei Xiangqian was in front, followed by three other Xihai Wuda students.

"I'll join in too, to experience the top ten martial arts geniuses." A tough-looking student from the Demon City Army followed.

"Even the new students of Yunhua Jinjing may not be able to crush us. I will try too."

One after another, their interest was piqued.

Soon, most of the students left.

Only a few students stood there and watched the fun.

Shi Lai was stunned for a moment, but he was only a soldier in the Blood Transporting Stage, so he had to ask: "Leaders, do you all... want to take the test?"

"Correct!"

"Then according to the rules, we will form groups of five. Please line up in order to minimize friction and collisions during the test. He is Mr. Song's friend. I hope that all leaders will complete this test with friendship first and competition second."

Shi Lai had been following Zhou Leng, so naturally he heard the conversation between Zhou Leng and Song Juesi. Knowing Mr. Song was already remarkable, and with Chen Shouhu's recommendation, if anything really went wrong, he would definitely be punished by his superiors.

Wei Xiangqian and the others smiled at each other. What Shi Lai said probably meant that even though Zhou Leng's strength was good, it was limited.

Wei Xiangqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are all clean in the test room. When we get to the battle stage, we will have to fight for real."

Shi Lai nodded, glanced at Zhou Leng, and entered the test applications of other people.

Around nine in the morning, three soldiers and a captain arrived in a truck.

The three soldiers took off five pieces of gravity training armor and followed the captain.

The captain looked around the room, took a serious look at Wei Xiangqian and the others, and then said, "I am the examiner for this test. I will not explain the rules, you all know them. In short, please follow the rules of the examination room as much as possible."

When Zhou Leng heard the word "try your best", he remembered the previous incident when Tao Bing bumped into him. It seemed that he had to be more or less on guard.

The examiner said, "The first batch of candidates put on the gravity training armor and prepare for the first round of weighted running."

Zhou Leng, Wei Xiangqian and others took over the gravity training armor.

Zhou Leng took a look and at first glance it was just a thick black bulletproof vest with a flexible display screen on the surface.

Shi Lai and several other soldiers stepped forward to help the five people adjust the gravity of the gravity training armor.

Shi Lai said: "Get ready and start to use your Qi. The gravity will slowly increase until it reaches 2000 kilograms. Don't try to be brave and not use your Qi. In the early stages of physical training, you can only lift more than 2000 kilograms without Qi."

Zhou Leng maintained his luck, and Shi Lai slowly increased the gravity.

As gravity increases, it feels as if your body is slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea and the pressure continues to increase.

It was not until later that the body felt a clear sense of pressure.

It doesn't seem as heavy as Shi Lai said. It feels like I can bear it even without using my true energy.

Finally, it was adjusted to 2000 kg.

Zhou Leng's feet sank slightly into the mud.

This is the first time I use the gravity training armor. I walk gently, shake my body, and slowly adapt.

It was a strange feeling, as if my body was surrounded by heavy sea water.

With a force of four thousand kilograms pressing down on his body, if he were in the Blood Circulation Period, he would probably be unable to move an inch.

Zhou Leng continued to adapt to the new weight as he walked.

Wei Xiangqian and four other people from Xihai Wuhan University remained calm and continued to warm up and stretch their joints.

The students at the back stared at Zhou Leng, observing the details on his body and discussing in low voices.

"This new recruit has good physical fitness."

"When we first arrived, with 2000 kilograms of gravity, it was hard to be so calm."

"There's something good to watch."

Many people smiled. After all, they were not from Xihai Wuhan University, so the more lively the better.

The examiner said, "You five, stand at the starting line. The first race is a 2000-meter run with a 5000-kilogram weight. Start getting ready."

This number is enough to shock the top ten martial arts students, but in the competition camp, it is just an entry-level test.

Five people stood behind the starting line, swinging their arms and legs, making final preparations.

"Ready..." the examiner said in a long tone, holding a timer, "Go!"

Zhou Leng took a step forward, running forward at a moderate pace, while feeling the changes in his body.

I have no intention of competing for the first place. I just regard this weighted run as a learning and growth opportunity.

The other four people looked at Zhou Leng and ran faster.

The body weighing more than two thousand kilograms stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.

Even on the reinforced runway, there was noticeable vibration.

In just a short while, the four of them easily took the lead by more than ten meters, and the gap between them and Zhou Leng became increasingly larger.

Zhou Leng didn't care and continued to sense the changes in his body. He didn't want to hurt himself just to attract attention.

The other students didn't know whether Zhou Leng lacked strength or was just taking a steady approach, so they just watched quietly without commenting.

The distance between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger. When the gap reached two hundred meters, which was half a lap, many students shook their heads slightly.

Not to mention Zhou Leng, a freshman, even a veteran in the middle stage of body refining would not be able to catch up with Wei Xiangqian after falling behind by 200 meters.

After all, Wei Xiangqian was ranked in the first tier of the Second Lieutenant Battalion and had the ability to graduate. "Zhou Leng accelerated..."

Everyone looked at Zhou Leng.

After running just now, Zhou Leng has become accustomed to this feeling.

In the perception of martial arts, even a weight of 2000 kilograms will not cause the slightest damage to the body.

Especially with the blessing of true qi, it feels... okay.

So Zhou Leng began to speed up.

Soon, the two sides were one hundred meters apart, and Zhou Leng maintained this speed.

After a while, Zhou Leng felt that he still had some strength left and accelerated again.

When running to the third lap, Zhou Leng caught up with the fourth place and was promoted from fifth to fourth.

The last-placed senior student from Yunhai Martial Arts University, who was in the early stage of physical training, stared at Zhou Leng's back.

He carefully observed Zhou Leng's footsteps, sweat, movements, and even recalled Zhou Leng's heartbeat when he was overweight.

There was no sign of any effort at all.

As an experienced warrior, he felt a pang in his heart and had a bad feeling.

However, he did not force himself to overtake, but tried to follow Zhou Leng closely to prevent the gap from being too big.

Just ten seconds later, Zhou Leng surpassed the third place.

This time, everyone stared at Zhou Leng and realized the seriousness of the problem.

The freshman is two hundred meters behind, can he still overtake?

After a while, Zhou Leng surpassed the second place and was only ten meters away from the first place, Wei Xiangqian.

The second place was also in the middle stage of body refining at Xihai Wuda. He gritted his teeth, accelerated the circulation of his true energy, ran a few steps, and surpassed Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng ran at his own pace, and when there was more than one lap left, Zhou Leng accelerated.

Overtake the second place, overtake Wei Xiangqian, reach the first place, and continue to accelerate.

Wei Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and accelerated with all his strength.

Soon, he surpassed Zhou Leng.

Three seconds later, Zhou Leng accelerated again, surpassed Wei Xiangqian, and then continued to accelerate.

Wei Xiangqian looked at Zhou Leng's receding back, gritted his teeth, mobilized all his strength and energy, took a step forward, and rushed forward desperately.

Even though he was carrying a full 2,000 kilograms of weight, his speed was still far beyond that of an ordinary person sprinting.

But Zhou Leng was faster.

The two of them were getting further and further apart.

Wei Xiangqian ran while staring blankly at the figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance.

Everyone watched as Zhou Leng, riding away from the others, crossed the starting line first, a full 100 meters ahead of Wei Xiangqian.

At the moment Zhou Leng ran to the finish line, Wei Xiangqian was still relatively okay, but the other three students from Xihai Wuda University were shaking, their steps were disorderly, and their breathing was unstable.

"Something is wrong..." an old student muttered to himself.

"I have an ominous feeling."

"Could it be that the training armor is broken?"

Just then, the examiner's voice came from the finish line.

“Exceeding the limit.”

The old students looked at each other.

The standards for the competition camp are not as detailed as those for schools, and only three types of test results are announced.

Not meeting the standard, meeting the standard, exceeding the standard.

The three standards are very different.

Basically, even for an excellent student in the middle stage of body training, it would take three months to complete half of the items.

Meeting the standards means having the basic qualifications for graduation.

Only the five people in the first tier were able to meet all the standards, but no one exceeded them.

One person shouted boldly: "Instructor, is the training armor broken?"

The examiner rolled his eyes at the man and said that the testing equipment had been tested in advance and the possibility of any problems was very small.

He said, "For the second test, we will exchange training armors."

In one sentence, shut up the doubters.

Zhou Leng was sweating all over and his breathing became slightly heavier, but other than that, there were no major changes.

Feel your body as you walk.

Since it was my first time running with a heavy load, I didn’t give it my all and only used about 90% of my strength.

So far, it seems okay.

Soon, the rest of the people arrived at the finish line one after another.

After walking for a while, the soldiers helped adjust the training armor and then they exchanged them.

Zhou Leng and Wei Xiangqian put on each other's training armor.

"The second round, carrying 2000 kilograms of weight, obstacle course meters, five laps. Go to the next examination room."

Everyone walked out of the ordinary arena and entered the obstacle course next door.

The obstacle course is similar to the big one, but more complex, with higher slopes, climbing heights and difficulty levels of various events.

"According to the last ranking, start in turn with an interval of 20 seconds." said the instructor.

Zhou Leng ranked first last time and rushed out first.

First, there was a 30-meter normal road, then 50 meters of chest-deep water, then climbing a 10-meter-high wall, then walking on a slightly swaying steel rope, then a full nine ups and downs of small hills, and then crawling under the barbed wire...

At the beginning, the other four people tried their best to catch up, but Zhou Leng, who was already accustomed to carrying a 2000-kilogram load, was getting faster and faster.

Soon, Zhou Leng finished the first lap of the obstacle race and started the second lap.

Wei Xiangqian tried his best to catch up, but he was getting further and further away.
