Chapter 66: The Genius Who Strives

Four days later.

Azure sky, clear for ten thousand li.

A blazing sun hung at the edge of the horizon, scattering down a golden, shimmering halo of light.

A sense of warmth flowed gently.

The lingering wisps of mist in the air were completely evaporated by this warm sunlight.

Whoosh!

A sea breeze drifted in lightly, stirring up ripples that spread and danced across the calm sea surface.

An enormous warship cut through the boundless ocean, parting the seawater on both sides and sending sprays of water flying into the air to dance gracefully.

Stirred by the sea breeze, a white seagull flag hung high, standing out conspicuously beneath the sunlight shining from all sides.

That white seagull flag…

Represents the overlord of the sea — the Navy!

Wang Yang's boundless sea offered no reference point at all.

Only the recording compass could guide the warship toward an inhabited island.

Losing one's sense of direction on this stretch of sea was an extremely terrifying thing — one might even lose all sense of direction and perish completely in these waters.

Every year, people met their end in the sea by dying in exactly this way.

Of course.

The most dangerous thing on this sea, ranked first, was the Sea Kings!

Sea Kings were a uniquely gifted, powerful species of life, dwelling in the deep sea, occasionally surfacing to bask in the scorching sun.

And these powerful creatures, in this boundless ocean, were simply too numerous to count — the number hunted was far slower than the speed at which they bred.

Therefore.

When sailing a ship across this sea, the thing people feared most was encountering a Sea King!

Right now,

Beneath the waters that the massive warship had just passed through, one could see numerous dark silhouettes, enormously huge in size, darting freely through the dim, frigid depths.

They were the Sea Kings — the creatures that struck terror into the hearts of countless beings of the sea!

Every single Sea King possessed a massive body no less than ten meters long!

A mere shift of its body,

Was enough to trigger a series of small tsunami disasters!

At this moment.

The massive warship,

On the deck.

Kapu was lying on a sun lounger, fast asleep. A large bubble puffed out from his nose, and his snoring — like rolling thunder — echoed across every corner of the warship's deck.

Warm sunlight poured down, illuminating Kapu's burly frame.

Clearly,

He was enjoying a sunbath.

No one dared to disturb Kapu's slumber.

Even Bokato, Kapu's trusted subordinate, stood far away on the other end of the warship, as if afraid he might wake Kapu from his deep sleep.

Only Lu En remained on the spacious deck.

And…

At this moment, he was undergoing grueling training without pause.

"Two thousand nine hundred ninety-three!"

"Two thousand nine hundred ninety-four!"

"Two thousand nine hundred ninety-five!"

"…"

One could see that Lu En's body was already laden with countless weighted training gear.

He was bare-chested, wearing nothing on his upper body, revealing a physique crisscrossed with muscle lines.

His back muscles were even more pronounced and fierce,

A demonic back…

Exerting an overwhelming sense of pressure!

At this moment,

Lu En, who was in the middle of training, was carrying a load of no less than three hundred kilograms!

Yes!

Carrying three hundred kilograms of weighted gear, Lu En had still managed to crank out nearly three thousand push-ups in just this single hour.

This so-called devilish training intensity…

Forced every single Marine on the warship to express their heartfelt admiration.

Even Bokato was left in awe at Lu En's diligent effort.

Over these past few days,

Every Marine on the entire ship had already witnessed Lu En's respect for cultivation!

Once he entered a state of cultivation…

Lu En was simply nothing short of crazy!

Cultivating as if his life didn't matter!

It was as if...

As long as he didn't die,

He would train himself to the bone!

And such a terrifying training intensity coefficient made even Bokato, an elite powerhouse within the Marines, feel waves of numbness on his scalp, completely not daring to emulate Lu En's cultivation method.

Now,

Bokato could finally understand.

Why...

Lu En's strength could achieve such a rapid surge and leap forward!

Only because,

Lu En this monster's training method was truly far too brutal!

Gradually,

The several hundred Marines on the entire warship secretly gave Lu En a nickname.

They called Lu En...

The Genius of Effort!

A genius possessing a once-in-a-century absolute talent, not only did not become arrogant and complacent because of it. Instead, he also put in sweat and time far exceeding everyone else's effort to cultivate.

This, was the truly revered genius!

Worthy of everyone's respect!

Ordinary geniuses, confident in their decent innate talent, became extremely lazy.

But Lu En was completely different...

Clearly possessing a shocking talent far surpassing everyone on the sea!

Yet he still worked harder than ordinary people, investing large amounts of time into grueling training.

Astonishing talent combined with painstaking effort...

This made all the Marines on the entire warship firmly believe.

Lu En, would surely become a renowned top-tier powerhouse in the future!

Even,

Inherit the heroic name of Vice Admiral Captain Kapu.

Become the new hero of the Marines in the new era!

Over the past few days,

They could almost see every day that Lu En was in painstaking cultivation day and night without rest.

He rose earlier than them,

Yet slept later than them.

Such astonishing willpower...
