Chapter 5: Another Test, Is Lu Jing a Talent?

Ah~

I don't know how long it took; the surging medicinal power inside my body gradually settled.

At this moment, Lu Jing's whole body underwent tremendous changes!

First, his physique: originally 1.8 meters tall, he grew a few centimeters more, and his muscles became more proportionate.

Every muscle seemed to contain terrifying explosive power.

Next, his gaze: even in the dim room, it was bright and sharp.

And his demeanor seemed to have changed, from originally reserved and restrained to now revealing some sharpness!

"I feel like I have endless strength inside!"

"Is this the power of high-grade Dan Medicine?"

Lu Jing looked at the wooden wardrobe beside him and tried to lift it.

The solid wood wardrobe weighed a full 200 kilograms; before, he couldn't lift it at all.

But the next moment, he lifted the wardrobe with one hand effortlessly, feeling no strain.

"I don't know how many points of Blood Qi I have now; I need to find time to test it."

At this moment, Lu Jing was full of energy and threw a fierce punch at the air.

Bang!

His punch hitting the air actually produced an explosive sound.

"This punch... my former self from a day ago would probably have been killed outright."

Lu Jing was somewhat frightened by himself.

As he felt the changes in his body, strands of black dirt oozed from his pores, accompanied by a foul smell.

Lu Jing rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower.

His whole body felt refreshed again, and Lu Jing had never felt this good before.

"By the way, there's still one Nourishing Qi Pill; tomorrow I'll go to Tianyi Martial Hall to sell it, and by the way test how much my Blood Qi has increased and my current combat power."

After making plans for tomorrow, Lu Jing began practicing the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

No matter how good the Dan Medicine's effects are, one cannot rely on it too much.

The Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique not only trains Blood Qi but also serves to consolidate the foundation.

The next morning.

Lu Jing came to Tianyi Martial Hall again.

Since it was the weekend, the martial hall was crowded with people, bustling extraordinarily.

Some were buying resources, some signing up for training courses, some consulting about matters......

Lu Jing put the Nourishing Qi Pill up for sale, selling it for 80,000, then turned and went up to the third floor.

The third floor mainly handles testing; as soon as Lu Jing stepped out of the elevator, a woman with a fiery figure greeted him.

She had wavy dark-red hair, and the slit of her black cheongsam revealed a pair of long legs.

On the woman's proud chest was pinned a badge engraved with the five characters 'Receptionist Yu Mei'.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Jing, please follow me here for the test."

Yu Mei had observed on the third floor that Lu Jing was selling Dan Medicine, regarded him as a major client, and her attitude was very enthusiastic.

She briskly led Lu Jing into a testing room nearby.

The test consists of two parts in total.

The first item is Blood Qi testing; the testing device resembles a hibernation pod, covered with wires.

Lu Jing had been tested here before, so without Yu Mei's reminder, he voluntarily lay down inside.

Then the cabin door sealed shut, and a faint red light continuously scanned Lu Jing's entire body.

After about a minute and a half, a 'ding' prompt sounded, and the cabin door slowly opened.

"Blood Qi test complete, 11 points!"

Lu Jing's expression shifted slightly as he walked out of the testing cabin.

11 points!

In just a short day, it actually increased by a full 2.13 points!

'This growth speed is too terrifying!'

Lu Jing remained calm on the surface, but his heart was churning with countless waves.

Even if one treats supplements as meals, a rich young master gaining one point per year is considered not bad.

And Lu Jing only used one day!

"Sir, Tianyi Martial Hall's test data will be synced to your personal file, which also includes data from your tests elsewhere."

Yu Mei beside him still wore a professional smile, indicating for Lu Jing to proceed to the next test.

The second item is physical testing, mainly measuring the body's various capabilities.

For example, strength, sprint speed, jump height, nerve reaction ability, body flexibility, etc.

Finally, combat power will be comprehensively derived from these data.

Generally, combat power is directly proportional to Blood Qi value.

Usually, for an ordinary person with 10 points of Blood Qi, combat power should be around 100 points.

If one has undergone training or actual combat, combat power will see a significant increase.

This part of the testing is rather tedious, taking ten minutes to complete.

Yu Mei entered Lu Jing's various data into the equipment and began evaluating his overall combat power.

"Ding——"

Equipment sounded: "Combat power assessment completed, 105!"

Combat power is 105.

It has not reached the combat power standard value that the current Blood Qi should have.

Lu Jing was somewhat disappointed, but after a moment's thought he realized the issue.

His Blood Qi has risen too quickly; he hasn't yet adapted to his current strength, so a low value is normal.

As long as he goes back and trains diligently, his combat power will soon catch up.

After figuring it out, Lu Jing no longer dwells on it; he is now more confident than ever.

"My Blood Qi value has reached 11 ka; I'm still 2 ka short of the minimum score admission line for the martial university, and 4 ka short of becoming an official Martial Artist!"

Three months is more than enough!

After Lu Jing left Tianyi Martial Hall, Yu Mei was still operating the equipment.

According to work convention, Lu Jing's test data from this session is uploaded to the cloud.

Suddenly, Yu Mei had a moment of absent-mindedness.

Yu Mei covered the cherry lips with a hand, face full of disbelief.

The file showed Lu Jing's test result from two days ago at school: Blood Qi 8.87 ka.

That is to say, in just two days, Lu Jing's Blood Qi increased this much?

How is that possible!

Could it be that the testing machine has some problem?

Yu Mei activated the self-check function of the Blood Qi chamber, and the result showed everything was normal.

Unable to figure it out, Yu Mei ran all the way to deliver Lu Jing's test data into the hands of Tianyi Martial Hall's director Zhang Qingyang.

"Director, I just tested a person, and his data is somewhat strange."

Yu Mei handed over the file.

"What's strange about it?"

"This Lu Jing, his Blood Qi increase is somewhat strange..."

The director took the file, glanced at it casually, put it on the table, and said offhandedly, "Maybe the Blood Qi chamber is broken."

"This machine has been running for so long without being debugged; go run a self-check."

Yu Mei shook head with a complex expression, "The machine has no problem; I just tested myself and there was no error!"

The director was stunned upon hearing that.

"In other words, this kid's Blood Qi value increased by over 2 in two days?"

"Hmm," Yu Mei nodded, "This person definitely has an issue; perhaps they are a newly awakened Talent Endowed. Should we pay special attention?"

"Talent Endowed?"

The director instantly became interested, picking up the file just set down.

After looking at Lu Jing's physical test results, he felt somewhat disappointed.

He shook his head and sighed, "With such low combat power yet high Blood Qi, it's likely they used a drug that overdrafts potential."

"Is there such a drug?"

"Yes, there are plenty of such drugs on the black market; they can cause Blood Qi to surge in a short time, but the side effects are huge—basically, taking it ruins one for life."

Upon mentioning the drug, the director's face showed a hint of contempt, "Moreover, this drug prematurely overdrafts life; this kid's Blood Qi will soon decline."
