Chapter 102: The Power of the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique

As he stepped forward, the onlookers quickly cleared a path.

Watching Lu Jing's direction of advance, many felt a spark of curiosity.

"Lu Jing seems to be heading toward the Agility Test Chamber!"

"He can't be planning to keep challenging the Agility Test, can he?"

"Quick, quick, keep up!"

Thus, Lu Jing walked slowly ahead, while a large crowd of spectators trailed behind.

Even Feng Xinglan, who was about to leave, was drawn in and fell behind.

After all, agility and speed are their strongest trump cards, and they also wanted to see how fast Lu Jing was now.

What if... Lu Jing's speed couldn't match theirs?

Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao exchanged glances, and both, without arranging it, followed.

The Agility Test Chamber differs greatly from the Pressure Test Room.

Lu Jing carefully observed the circular corridor ahead, stretching several hundred meters.

The corridor's material is a special transparent glass, with numerous laser devices installed on the floor and ceiling.

When trainees undergo the test, lasers fire, forcing them to constantly dodge while running.

If hit by a laser within the allotted time, the test stops immediately, declaring failure.

Compared with the pressure test, the agility test emphasizes technique and proficiency, making it harder.

The current record, set by Feng Xinglan, held for one minute in the Third Stage.

"First Stage activated, testing personnel, prepare to enter!"

Lu Jing entered the glass corridor and ran forward.

The First Stage is simple: finish three laps within a minute while evading the lasers to succeed.

Most Third‑Realm Martial Artists can pass smoothly.

The number of lasers is pitifully low, fewer than ten fire.

Lu Jing easily completed the three laps and continued to the Second Stage test.

"Second Stage activated......"

As the cue tone sounded, the number of lasers in the corridor surged severalfold, and the clearance requirement rose from three laps to four.

The difficulty increased many times!

Over ninety percent of trainees stopped here.

"So simple?"

Lu Jing felt the flowing breeze beside him, his expression calm as he ran forward, beams of laser brushed across his body.

Before the onlookers outside the test chamber could react, Lu Jing had already finished four laps, passing the Second Stage assessment.

"That's too easy for me; let's jump straight to the Fourth Stage!"

Lu Jing lifted his head and spoke to the ceiling camera.

In the next instant, countless lasers shot out, like light pollution, numbering at least tens of thousands.

"Fourth Stage activated, testing personnel, prepare!"

Swish swish swish!

Countless crimson lasers fired, and Lu Jing surged forward like a cheetah.

The Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique engaged, and he took strange strides, accelerating again in the corridor almost filled with lasers!

With the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique's aid, Lu Jing easily passed through swaths of laser nets.

As if strolling leisurely in his own backyard garden.

Relaxed, pleasant.

"Beep, Fourth Stage cleared, record broken!"

As the cue tone sounded, the lasers gradually dimmed.

Lu Jing still felt a lingering thrill; he hadn't expected it to be so easy.

In this setting, the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique advanced rapidly!

"Another record broken?!"

The crowd outside the arena erupted instantly.

"Whoa, I hadn't even reacted, I only saw a figure flash by!"

"Terrifying, faster than Feng Xinglan's speed when they broke the Third Stage!"

People chatted excitedly, their faces full of astonishment.

"And did you notice, when Lu Jing passed the Fourth Stage, that weird footwork—doesn't it resemble Feng Xinglan's Wind Walking Step?"

At that moment, Feng Xinglan wore a stunned expression, standing motionless.

Having practiced the Wind Walking Step for years, they instantly recognized that Lu Jing employed some other footwork.

Even more outrageous, Lu Jing's footwork was clearly several grades stronger than their family's hereditary Wind Walking Step!

"How could this be?"

Their prized talent and Wind Walking Step—Lu Jing also has them? And even tramples them?

It's as if something he had long coveted was reached for by others with a casual hand.

This huge psychological contrast left Feng Xinglan feeling powerless deep inside.

The outside turmoil has nothing to do with Lu Jing.

He became interested in the Agility Test Chamber, hoping to use it to hone his Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique.

"Next, keep raising the difficulty!"

Lu Jing signaled the staff to start the Fifth Stage test.

The staff, drenched in sweat, trembled as they pressed the Fifth Stage button.

Since the Agility Test Chamber was built, the Fifth Stage had never been activated.

All the trainees basically only made it through the Third Stage and fell at the Fourth Stage.

"Fifth Stage activated, testing personnel, prepare!"

Countless red beams fired up again, and unlike before, these beams began to rotate in a regular pattern.

This undoubtedly raised the difficulty dramatically; while sprinting to dodge, one also had to calculate the beams' trajectories.

Lu Jing stripped off the cumbersome Martial Way robe on his upper body, revealing his lean, muscular tendons.

Whoosh!

His whole form almost turned into a fleeting afterimage.

Lu Jing pushed the Chasing Cloud of the First Realm of the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique to its limit.

In an instant he sliced through dozens of lasers that constantly shifted position, like a dancing butterfly drifting by.

Not far from the Agility Test Chamber, Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao stared intently at Lu Jing's figure.

Dong Ningxue said seriously, "Xingyao, watch his movements."

"It must be some kind of footwork," Zhu Xingyao squinted, "He used this footwork in the Fourth Stage; it greatly boosted his speed, even making it easier than when he passed the Second Stage..."

Dong Ningxue nodded, "Isn't this kid from an ordinary family? How does he have such subtle footwork? It seems far stronger than Feng Xinglan's footwork."

After speaking, she glanced again at Feng Xinglan.

Feng Xinglan had already closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, his thoughts a mystery.

"Who knows, maybe some strange encounter," Zhu Xingyao shrugged, "I have to admit, he surprised us again..."

Dong Ningxue sighed, "Well, it looks like Lu Jing has already secured the sole slot now."

At this point, Lu Jing had already run two laps around the long corridor.

He brushed past the lasers countless times, making everyone clutch their palms in nervous sweat for him.

Yet each time danger loomed, Lu Jing passed through unharmed.

"The Fourth Stage should be his limit," Dong Ningxue suddenly said.

Her strength is great; compared with others, she can perceive more details.

The Fifth Stage has twice as many lasers as the Sixth Stage, and with Lu Jing's current condition, it is impossible to pass.

"Hmm, but his Fourth Stage performance was already impressive; probably no one can break that record..."

Zhu Xingyao nodded, agreeing with her view.
