Chapter 37 Who knows how to use special skills to fight this thing?
As time went on, the three tiers of recruits were completely divided. At first, a few students came up with names randomly, but later it was gradually accepted.
The top 20 in each batch who receive the Refinement Pill are called the Elite Class; those ranked 20th or below and within the top 200 are in the Small Class; and everyone else is in the Large Class.
Lu Zhao's other two roommates, Murong Can and Yang Guangming, entered the small class in order of around 90th and 70th place respectively within the batch.
Although they couldn't attend classes in the high pavilion, they used the square downstairs for training, supervised by the pageboy Bai Lu. Some of them even received new cultivation methods.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Zhao and the others had learned how to use all the cold weapons. Of course, they had only learned them; to master them, they still needed to practice slowly.
However, they learned these basic martial arts techniques under double gravity, so they also improved their physical strength.
Lu Zhao's physical abilities have significantly improved compared to when he first entered the Warrior Realm.
boom!
drip.
On the punching power machine, the numbers increased from more than 13 times to 18 times.
When a martial artist first enters the Warrior Realm, their physical strength will experience a huge leap, as this is a breakthrough from 0 to 1. However, as the realm deepens and the skill level increases, the value will no longer experience such a huge leap, but will instead show a slow increasing trend.
In the past two days, due to the exhaustion of the medicine, his cultivation speed has dropped sharply. His total cultivation level in the Warrior Realm has just reached 25%, but the elite class is at about the same level, and most people are even a little slower.
Now, Lu Zhao can shatter the rubber protective pads on the test target with a single punch. There's already a small pile of broken pads next to the machine, clearly indicating that he wasn't the only one who came to test after the upgrade.
Furthermore, the engineering team was well aware of the new recruits' intentions. Next to the machine, they added a security door secured by hydraulic clamps, with about a dozen backward-pointing holes, each representing a punch. The testers could then directly experience the destructive power of a punch piercing through a security door.
Lu Zhao was certain that 20% of the current increase in punching power came from the effects of the Cleansing Pill.
After the medicinal effects were fully absorbed, a new record appeared in the system panel.
The body has already received 20% medication compensation.
Current realm correction cap: 40%.
This is the result calculated by combining bursts of computing power with sensitive calculations based on internal energy.
Lu Zhao's understanding is that his body has been strengthened by a Cleansing Pill. After fully refining the medicinal power, he received a 20% bonus. Theoretically, he needs another pill to bring his body to its best state and make up for his innate "deficiency".
Of course, this deficiency is relative to the super talent of Chen Qinhu; his physical condition is at least at the level of a normal person.
In short, he decided to find a way to get another one, but he didn't know how. He planned to go to the high pavilion later and ask Old Ji if he had any left.
But before that.
He glanced around, saw no one was there, quickly put on the test machine's leather case, and then took a few steps back.
Dog Breathing!
A figure flashed past a few steps away.
boom!
Beep beep beep beep beep.
【99.99】
It's not 100 times the punching power, it's beyond the limit.
This testing machine can only measure the strength of a warrior. The maximum value is set to 25 times the punching power. It cannot be calculated beyond that.
Fortunately, the machine is robust enough that it won't be directly damaged by three times the force.
"call--"
Lu Zhao took a deep breath, but his heartbeat did not calm down immediately.
The Breath of the Dog has no theoretical cooldown time, but in practice, it cannot be used continuously because it increases the efficiency of cardiovascular activity. Especially after martial arts training, the connection between the meridians and flesh is more intense, and the energy mobilized is more than ten times stronger. If it is frequently activated, the meridians may burst.
In this quiet state, it takes about three minutes to calm down, but in actual combat, after using special skills, one still needs to maintain intense fighting, so the calming time will be longer.
It can only be said that the blue special ability does have limitations. The benefits of a triple power burst are high enough, but there must be corresponding limitations.
Lu Zhao politely helped replace the broken protective cover on the test machine before leaving.
It's a little past six in the morning, and there aren't many people around, so he can conduct the test without worrying about exposing any secrets.
These past few days, he hasn't been traveling with Chen Qinhu and Shi Jian much. It's not that there's been any conflict within their small group, but rather that their cultivation methods are different, leading to differences in their cultivation projects.
Chen Qinhu must focus on physical training to maximize his physical talent. After Shi Jian suffered internal injuries from enduring double gravity, Ji Ye changed his training method, making him more unpredictable.
After leaving the test site, Lu Zhao went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After entering the Warrior Realm, his appetite increased dramatically. He would finish two baskets of steamed buns, several eggs, and other high-calorie foods in one meal.
Old Ji said this was a good thing, it meant that the body was growing.
Of course, what he really meant was to reach a higher level of understanding.
When Lu Zhao arrived at the high pavilion, there were already more than a dozen classmates cultivating.
The students in their elite class have very flexible training schedules; aside from the standardized martial arts classes, they can decide their own time.
This is very similar to the situation of the various units of the Qin army.
Ordinary Qin soldiers emphasized unity because individual combat strength was weak, so numerical superiority was essential.
The more elite the unit, the more individualized they tend to be, because their individual combat capabilities are strong and their fighting styles, honed through martial arts training, are very different.
Lu Zhao crossed the main hall and came to Old Ji, who was still smoking an electronic cigarette.
Can martial artists get lung cancer?
Ji Ye was very impatient with the question and said sullenly, "Yes, but it's easy to cure."
"oh."
Lu Zhao coughed. "I need another Cleansing Pill."
"..."
Old Ji tapped his e-cigarette: "Next time, just say what you need. Stop with the pretense. Will 'saying' give you lung cancer? Why are you worrying about this?!"
"Hehe, so do I have one? A Cleansing Pill." Lu Zhao asked shamelessly.
He has stopped trying to get the special skill from the old man, because after a few attempts he has determined that if the text above his head is blurry, he can't get it. He guesses that there must be some prerequisite, but he hasn't figured it out yet.
Ji Ye tugged at his white beard: "What level have you reached in martial arts instruction?"
Lu Zhao said, "We've learned the basic operation of all kinds of weapons, but we've only been taught how to operate the standard pistol."
"Um."
The old man squatted on the chair and began to ponder.
Lu Zhao waited quietly.
The training progress of the elite class is personally controlled by the instructors, so if it comes to arranging things like the Refinement Pill, it must be Old Ji who makes the final decision.
After a while, he stretched and said, "Alright, you already had a batch of Cleansing Pills, but not everyone gets them. I'll arrange it later. However, there aren't as many of these second batches of Cleansing Pills, so you'll have to compete for them. If you win, you'll get the pills; if you don't, there's nothing I can do."
The old man spread his hands.
Lu Zhao was very happy.
If you can't win, it's because you're not good enough. You have to accept the consequences of your bet. As long as there's this arrangement, that's fine.
......
In the testing field, a formation of fifty people was being tested one by one under the guidance of their instructors.
This is not a formal inspection; each instructor has their own teaching methods.
Crackling sound.
All the instruments were beeping.
Two middle-aged men walked in through the side door, one after the other.
The instructors who were recording data on the sidelines saw them and immediately rushed over to salute.
"Long live the Emperor!"
He couldn't help but be nervous. These two middle-aged men, one was Captain Shi Xiangyang, and the other was Deputy Captain Liu Jue, who was in charge of personnel and defense. They were the top two leaders on the ship, and he didn't know why they had wandered over here.
"Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about us," Neishi Xiangyang said.
The instructor immediately turned stiffly and jogged to the other side, afraid of disturbing the two superiors.
The two captains paced slowly on the sidelines.
"I heard that this batch of new recruits is of good quality," the deputy captain Liu Jue said in a low voice.
"Hmm, they're not bad. Keep an eye on them and keep the good ones. We're really short-handed right now," Neishi Xiangyang said casually.
Liu Jue looked troubled: "With that academic official here, and the Qingming Guards also here, it won't be easy to keep them here."
"Let's try our best. They can't eat it all. Our brigade lost half of its troops in the last battle at Jinshazhou. We need to replenish our supplies."
Neishi Xiangyang walked over to the punching power testing machine.
The recruits being tested were unsure of the two men's identities, but they could tell at a glance that they were high-ranking officers, so they fought with extra effort.
However, Neishi Xiangyang paid no attention to these people; he stared at the broken protective covers that had not yet been cleared away.
Liu Jue also noticed his gaze.
"what?"
He picked one up from inside and turned to exchange a glance with the captain.
The protective cover is a soft, pouch-like layer that covers the target of the testing machine. It protects both the tester's hand and the machine itself. If it gets damaged, it's simply replaced with a new one; the cover isn't expensive anyway.
The two men became interested in the leather sleeves because normally, the side of the sleeves that comes into contact with the fist breaks, while the back of the sleeves that covers the metal target doesn't bear the force directly and therefore won't break.
However, the one in front of us was broken on both sides, which meant that the punch that hit the front actually penetrated the target and came out from the back.
If the machine wasn't made of a special metal with excellent conductivity, then the outer skin and filling would have been completely pierced.
"With such force, which instructor did this?" Liu Jue was a little puzzled. He felt that this thing was designed for new recruits, and that normal veterans wouldn't be so bored.
Neishi Xiangyang glanced at the instructor in the distance, whose rank was third-level.
"These instructors probably don't have that much strength."
Liu Jue was even more puzzled: "That's... a special skill?"
Neishi Xiangyang was completely baffled: "To be honest, I don't understand why anyone would be so bored as to use special skills to fight this thing."
