Chapter 254: 171, Blocking Armor-Piercing Rounds with Bare Hands_3

“`

However, these so-called unparalleled supreme geniuses in their own ranks couldn’t hold a candle to Lin Zichen’s performance during the special military training back then— they were far too inferior.

Lin Zichen was the top genius he had ever seen.

Without equal.

Utterly in a league of his own.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Earth could produce a genius with such an aberrant physical talent.

…

On the Martial Stage.

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the astonished gazes around him.

He quickly hopped off the Martial Stage and found a spot to sit down.

His strength had already been showcased, easily overpowering everyone; there was no need for further sparring.

The remaining time was to be used well for cultivating the Blood Tempering Technique and undergoing the fourth Body Refining.

He aimed to achieve the Fifth-stage Body Refinement Completion before his sophomore year.

“What is he doing sitting cross-legged on the ground?”

“Meditating?”

“He’s cultivating the Blood Tempering Technique, manipulating the Qi-Blood inside his body to refine it.”

“Is this how Pureblood Humans strengthen themselves?”

“This is my first time seeing it.”

The crowd recovered from their shock and all curiously observed Lin Zichen, watching the process of his cultivation of the Blood Tempering Technique.

Lu Tianrong, as an instructor, was also watching with great interest.

But after watching for a while, he couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Feeling it was a waste of time, he yelled to everyone:

“Stop watching!”

“Time is money, hurry up and start practicing with the weapons you’ve chosen!”

“Don’t waste time!”

The term “everyone” here did not include Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen’s display of overwhelming strength had successfully earned him the privilege of free individual training.

Hearing this, everyone sprang into action.

Finding partners to spar with.

Practicing with weapons.

During practice, they couldn’t help but steal glances at Lin Zichen, curious about his cultivation of the Blood Tempering Technique.

…

Before they knew it,

over two hours had passed.

The time was now 5:30 in the afternoon.

“Everyone, stop for a moment!”

Lu Tianrong called for a halt and continued, “Today’s special training is now over.”

“In the next ten days, we will train Qi-Blood and our minds in the special training room downstairs in the morning, and in the afternoon, we’ll come here to practice using weapons.”

“After ten days, we’ll go out for real combat training, hunting down members of the Heretical Sect and Exotic Beasts to develop your teamwork skills.”

“Understood?!”

“Understood!”x20

Everyone responded in unison.

Lu Tianrong nodded and said, “All right, go eat.”

At his words, everyone left the weapon room in pairs or small groups.

“Xiao Chen, I recorded the moment when you blocked the bullet with your bare hands and directly crushed the opponent’s mechanized arm!”

Shen Qinghan approached Lin Zichen, holding her phone and playing the video for him, excitedly saying in a fan-like manner, “You have to see this, it’s so cool!”

Lin Zichen glanced at it and smiled, “It does look cool.”

While the two were watching the video,

Luo Yongjian came over with a big smile, “Zi Chen, Qinghan, let’s go eat together.”

Lin Zichen looked up at him and said, “You go eat first, we won’t be eating so soon.”

“Okay then, I’ll go eat with Yu Ge and Wei Jie first.”

With a smile still on his face, Luo Yongjian left those words behind and walked away.

He wanted to get close to Lin Zichen but knew the importance of not overdoing it, so he didn’t show too much enthusiasm.

After Luo Yongjian had gone far away, Shen Qinghan asked quietly, “Xiao Chen, do you not like getting too close to the people in my class?”

Lin Zichen explained, “It’s not that, I really won’t be eating so soon. I plan to go to a place to do something first, and then I’ll eat after that’s done.”

Shen Qinghan was curious, “What’s that something?”

Lin Zichen teased, “You’ll know when we get there.”

“When are we going?”

“Now.”

After saying this, Lin Zichen led Shen Qinghan out of the weapon room and headed downstairs stealthily as if they were thieves.
