Chapter 98

Hoo—

The girl exhaled a burst of turbid Qi, lowered her body, and violently lifted the barbell placed on the floor.

Meanwhile, on the display screen beside them, the timer kept ticking.

"This girl is too strong; she might never find a man in the future!"

A crowd of trainees gathered outside the Pressure Test Room; some were queuing, others were just watching the spectacle.

"She's the heir to the Yao Martial Hall; marrying her is like owning the whole Yao Martial Hall. Still lacking a man for that condition?"

"Yeah, Yao Rong's defense seems stronger again. Before she could only barely lift the barbell under triple pressure; now she can lift it outright!"

"Another record broken—are Talent Endowed people really that terrifying!"

Leng Yueyue was also watching intently, when a gust of wind suddenly ruffled her bangs.

She brushed her hair aside and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

"Lu Jing?"

Leng Yueyue ran over excitedly—indeed, it was Lu Jing!

The few Anwu City trainees who had just been discussing Lu Jing now looked slightly uneasy and, in unison, stepped back a few paces.

"Lu Jing, why are you here?"

Lu Jing's gaze swept over the delighted Leng Yueyue, and he smiled, "I've been in seclusion these past few days, made a breakthrough, and wanted to come test it out."

"By the way, how have you been lately? I see your Blood Qi has become much richer."

Seeing Lu Jing's concern, Leng Yueyue's eyebrows lifted instantly, and she happily replied, "Of course, I've been working hard!"

Lu Jing smiled, held out his wristwatch, and transferred 30 points of credits to her, "Use these credits; they should be enough to get you through the training camp's end."

"Um..."

Leng Yueyue was about to refuse, but seeing Lu Jing's unchallengeable expression, she silently accepted.

Her heart pounded; no woman could turn down a man who gives her money to spend.

Before, after a hard day's work she could only earn 5 credit points; now she receives a free 30, which naturally excites her.

Wait, how could she let Lu Jing give it away for free?

Leng Yueyue muttered to herself that she must return the favor when receiving someone else's benefit!

But what should she give back?

Lu Jing still didn't know that Leng Yueyue was wildly brainstorming; he gave the credits simply because he had too many to use.

Wasting is still waste; better to give them to a friend.

Ignoring the blushing, downcast Leng Yueyue, Lu Jing went straight to the Pressure Test Room.

"Whoa, isn't that Lu Jing?"

"Why is he here? He can't be planning to challenge the Pressure Test, can he?"

A few trainees at the front of the line recognized Lu Jing and blurted out.

Their voice carried far, causing quite a stir on the spot.

Lu Jing is a celebrity of the Genius Training Camp; although his popularity dipped due to seclusion, he remains a hot topic.

As Lu Jing approached, the trainees ahead in line stepped back, yielding their spots.

"Thank you."

Lu Jing said lightly, walked straight ahead, and glanced at the notice board posted at the Pressure Test entrance.

"1. Warm up before entering the test room.

2. No fragile items may be brought.

3. Those with wounds or post‑surgery may not test.

4. During the test, avoid overly large movements; act within your limits."

Beep—

With the prompt tone sounding, the Pressure Test Room doors opened, and the exhausted Yao Rong shuffled out weakly.

She leaned against the wall, her legs trembling uncontrollably, as if she might collapse at any moment.

"Yao Rong, let me help you!"

Several eager sycophants rushed forward and steadied her.

With the help of two boys, Yao Rong staggered forward.

When she passed Lu Jing, Yao Rong's eyes widened, about to say something, but Lu Jing had already taken a big stride and entered.

"Whoa, Lu Jing went in without warming up?"

The two boys supporting Yao Rong jumped, "He's too arrogant, skipping warm‑up and starting the pressure test, waiting to embarrass himself!"

"What a show—sudden pressure changes can make the body unable to adapt, even causing loss of bladder and bowel control."

Leng Yueyue was about to warn Lu Jing, but the Pressure Test Room door had already closed.

Seeing her worried face, the girl who had just stepped back moved forward again, gleefully saying, "Let him show off; later he'll wet his pants!"

The boy beside them also laughed and nodded, watching Lu Jing intently inside the glass chamber, eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, Lu Jing stood barefoot on the white, specially made floor.

The floor was covered with uneven anti‑slip material; it felt soft and comfortable underfoot.

In a corner of the Pressure Test Room, there was a pressure‑setting switch; Lu Jing stepped forward and turned it to one‑times pressure.

Buzz~

A shrill machine buzz sounded, and Lu Jing felt his body become slightly heavier.

The floor beneath his feet also seemed a bit softer.

He tried walking a few steps; it seemed to have little effect.

"This is just onefold pressure, it's too easy..."

He was dissatisfied and directly raised the onefold pressure to twofold pressure.

Hum—

This time the change became noticeable; the air grew viscous, and breathing required greater effort.

Lu Jing shook his somewhat stiff neck, then casually threw a few punches at the air.

The airflow roared, producing a series of sonic booms.

Outside the testing chamber, everyone stared dumbfounded.

"What's going on? This Lu Jing looks so relaxed, and he's still punching?!"

"He can't be using onefold pressure, can he? I can move freely at onefold pressure."

Several puzzled trainees walked to Lu Jing's back, hoping to see the pressure multiplier displayed on the instrument.

"WTF!"

Someone clearly saw the numbers on the instrument and directly blurted it out.

"He... he's not on onefold, it's twofold!"

"What?"

Everyone was silenced by that shout: twofold pressure?

"How could that be? Twofold pressure shows no reaction at all."

Yao Rong wore an expression of disbelief, shook off the supporting hand, and walked up to see for herself.

When she saw the four big characters "Twofold Pressure", her pupils suddenly contracted.

So terrifying!

Under twofold pressure, each step she took felt like it was in slow motion, and it caused severe dizziness.

In contrast, Lu Jing not only punched but also kept his feet constantly bouncing.

You could even hear the sonic boom generated by his lightning‑fast punches!

The more she thought about it, the more absurd it seemed; her face was almost pressed against the glass.

Fortunately, she had lifted a barbell under threefold pressure, and Lu Jing hasn't broken that record yet.

At that moment, Lu Jing stopped his punching and toggled the switch again.

The next instant, the gauge flickered and displayed four big characters.

"Fourfold Pressure!"

"Fourfold Pressure?!"

Yao Rong could no longer stay calm; a flash of shock crossed her eyes as she said, "He's not a Talent Endowed, and he has no body‑refining technique. How can he dare challenge fourfold pressure?"
