Chapter 100: Continuing the Challenge

Qi sank to his dantian, and the golden light on Lu Jing's body shone even brighter.

The barbell was first lifted by him to knee height, then he violently raised it overhead.

Immediately after, the timer started counting.

"Beep—"

The test chamber sounded the prompt, and Lu Jing had already passed the fivefold pressure test.

Feng Xinglan simply couldn't figure it out.

How did Lu Jing manage that?

I originally thought Lu Jing had given up on himself and wasn't seeking improvement, so I could quickly catch up to him.

For revenge, for that belief in his heart, Feng Xinglan rose early and worked late every day, to the point that the sweat on his body could fill a bucket.

But the result? Lu Jing, who stayed cooped up in the dormitory every day, actually made even greater progress than him, which he could not accept at all.

"Feng Ge, accept reality......"

The little brother beside him looked at Feng Xinglan's dazed expression, couldn't help but sigh and comfort him: "Feng Ge, he's naturally strong, so getting a good score in the pressure test is normal."

"Your forte is speed; in that aspect he definitely can't match you. We shouldn't use our weaknesses to clash with others' strengths, right?"

After saying that, the little brother thumped his chest and made a gesture of "I believe in you."

"Fivefold pressure is just right for me; going any higher might make normal exercise impossible......"

Lu Jing glanced at the pressure setting, considering whether to add another level.

"If I push the Immovable King Sutra to its limit, I should be able to pass...... Then let's test where my limits lie."

Thinking that, Lu Jing no longer hesitated and walked over to the pressure setting.

Afterwards, he calmly set it to sixfold pressure.

The watching trainees saw Lu Jing operating the pressure setting panel and thought he couldn't hold on.

"Quick, look—Lu Jing is about to end the pressure test."

"After all, it's fivefold pressure; an ordinary person might be crushed straight into meat paste!"

"Yeah, him lasting this long is already quite difficult."

However, the next moment.

"Hum—"

A faint vibration sound transmitted.

"Holy shit?"

Feng Xinglan squeezed to the front, he saw clearly that Lu Jing didn't close the pressure but set it to sixfold pressure!

He couldn't believe it; his vision went black, and he almost fainted.

"You guys, look quick! Lu Jing set it to sixfold pressure!"

"Damn, what is he trying to do, is he courting death?"

Inside the test chamber.

As the pressure increased, Lu Jing's expression also became somewhat strange, his spine slightly bent under the pressure.

"If it weren't for the Immovable King Sutra, I could never still be standing here......"

Lu Jing clenched his teeth, attempting to drive the Immovable King Sutra to its utmost.

The next moment, a flash of golden light flickered in his eyes, and the pressure exerted on him by the test chamber instantly dropped by nearly thirty percent.

Lu Jing slowly straightened his back, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

"My goodness, he can stand this straight even under sixfold pressure?"

"Tsk tsk...... just how strong is Lu Jing's strength? Could he already be a fifth-realm warrior?"

Feng Xinglan was now stimulated to the point of just wanting to cry; Lu Jing's series of actions had already left him numb.

Only saw Lu Jing walking toward the barbell, leaving a footprint with each step, his speed noticeably slower than before.

"No way, he still wants to lift the barbell under sixfold pressure?"

"Impossible, nobody can do that!"

"Holy shit, he actually lifted it!"

Feng Xinglan's eyes went black, and he collapsed straight onto the ground.

At the same time.

Inside the training camp instructor's office.

"Sister Snow, after a week of screening, another hundred trainees have been eliminated; now there are fewer than a hundred people left in the training camp!"

Zhu Xingyao held a report in her hand, flipping through it as she spoke.

"Hmm, we still need to increase the difficulty a bit, lowering the mission points a little," Dong Ningxue frowned, "these people are just wasting resources here; it'd be better to leave early."

Zhu Xingyao bit her finger, sighed, and said: "Ah, are we being too cruel...... I see them scrambling for tasks all day; it's really not easy."

"Cruel?"

Dong Ningxue smiled, her smile cold, "Don't forget that the purpose of our Genius Training Camp's establishment is to select the single most outstanding person; the rest of the trainees are just there to make up the numbers."

"Out of hundreds, only one can remain in the end—that's just how cruel reality is!"

Dong Ningxue shook her head, speaking coldly, "Rather than let the filler trainees waste time, we should hurry up and pick that one out; you're being overly emotional, can't you tell what's more important?"

"Alright......"

Zhu Xingyao pursed her lips, feeling somewhat wronged.

At that moment, a middle-aged person in military uniform walked in, interrupting their conversation.

"Report, Commander! Today trainee Yao Rong broke his own record from yesterday again!"

"He broke the record again?"

Dong Ningxue was slightly surprised, then quickly regained composure, 'Looks like Zhu Xingyao, you've taught Yao Rong well; her progress has been great lately, she might be able to compete with Hao Pengjie for that spot.'

Of course, and it doesn't matter who her teacher is!

Zhu Xingyao proudly lifted her head, happily humming a little tune.

Although she seems unreliable, she indeed put a lot of effort into Yao Rong.

Zi—

Just then, the soldier on duty reported over the walkie-talkie, 'Calling calling, the Pressure Test Room record has been broken again, the record-breaker is Lu Jing, please acknowledge receipt!'

The zi la la sound reverberated in the office.

Dong Ningxue's expression showed surprise, and she quickly took the walkie-talkie from the soldier's hand.

'This is Dong Ningxue, please acknowledge if you hear me!'

Dong Ningxue raised her voice, 'Please give a detailed report of Lu Jing's record-breaking performance!'

'Reporting to Chief Officer, Lu Jing successfully held the barbell for ten seconds under Sixfold Pressure!!!'

'Hey, Chief Officer, are you still there?'

Not only Dong Ningxue, but even Zhu Xingyao and the soldier beside her fell into silence.

Everyone's head was buzzing.

Pa!

Dong Ningxue hung up the walkie-talkie and threw it to the soldier.

'Sixfold Pressure?!'

Dong Ningxue looked at Zhu Xingyao and asked, 'If I remember correctly, before Yao Rong, the best record was holding the barbell for ten seconds under threefold pressure, and then she broke it with a fourfold pressure record......'

'Yeah,' Zhu Xingyao nodded, 'and then Lu Jing broke it again with a Sixfold Pressure record.'

'I don't believe it,' Dong Ningxue suddenly stood up, walked out of the office, 'I need to see it with my own eyes, otherwise I can't accept it.'

'Sister Xue, wait for me!'

Zhu Xingyao hurried after her, and the two women rushed straight to the Pressure Test Room.

Only the soldier remained, holding the walkie-talkie, still dazed.

After Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao left, the walkie-talkie rang again.

'Hey hey hey, Chief Officer, I have new information to report again!'

'The Pressure Test Room record has been broken again, still Lu Jing, this time under Sevenfold Pressure!!!'

???

The soldier was completely numb, his mind went blank.
