Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 60 What did he want with those sorcerers?

[Iron Body Realm: 3%]

[Details of specific sub-sectors:]

Muscle and bone training level: 2%

Skin and flesh training: 3%

Qi cultivation level: 4%

Neurological proficiency: 3%

Meridian Training Level: 2%

At the unmanned training ground on the edge of the transport ship, Lu Zhao stood up and patted the dirt off his backside.

"My cultivation progress is still a bit slow. It's only 3% in two days. It will take more than two months to break through to the next realm."

This is no longer human speech. He possesses the Level 2 special skill, Qi Sensitivity, copied from Wang Zhao, which is why he was able to theoretically break through to the next realm in two months.

This level of skill is beyond the reach of even the so-called geniuses in the elite classes, let alone ordinary martial arts practitioners.

However, Lu Zhao was still not satisfied. Mainly, he had to compete with Shen Xianke, Fang Ziran and others for a position in half a month. At this rate, he could only advance to a quarter of the goal in half a month at most, which felt unsafe.

He didn't necessarily have to ride on Shen Xianke's head because of her exceptional talent, but he at least had to surpass Fang Xiaopang, otherwise the other party would definitely take advantage of him.

"I still have to spend time practicing the 1,000-3,000, it's so annoying."

When he went to see Xin Li a couple of days ago, he finalized some details, such as not training any new martial arts skills for the time being, but instead trying to create something new by relying on the basic martial arts skills he had already mastered, such as the Wind-Breaking Blade.

Lu Zhao left the secluded training ground and headed towards the canteen.

Nowadays, he prefers to practice martial arts alone in this place, where it is quiet and no one will disturb him.

If he were to go to the foot of the high pavilion, many people would like to come and ask him for advice or to spar with him, after all, his strength is undeniable.

On his way to the cafeteria, he passed by the small square where the elite class trained and saw that Chen Qinhu was surrounded by a lot of people.

Now, he has grown taller and taller, his height has increased significantly, and he is estimated to be about two meters tall.

For those who practice martial arts, changes in body shape are not uncommon. Many people experience a second growth spurt. Less common changes include hair color, eye color, and skin color. The rarest change is an increase in size and girth.

Before Lu Zhao even got close, he had already heard from others that Chen Qinhu had broken through to a higher realm.

He stood on the perimeter, pulling Minghui aside who looked on with envy: "Did he just lose his virginity?"

"Yeah, Brother Zhao!"

Minghui said excitedly, "He was only 60% there a few days ago, but recently he suddenly had an epiphany! Isn't that infuriating!"

"You have no right to judge others..." Lu Zhao said, both amused and exasperated.

Minghui was the first person in the elite class to achieve enlightenment. When he was in the Warrior Realm, his training level jumped from about 20% to 60% overnight, which shocked many people.

At the time, many people said it was because he resembled a monk, and Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment. However, Old Ji quickly refuted the rumors, saying it was due to his cultivation methods.

He squeezed into the crowd and heard people around him discussing why Chen Qinhu had also had an epiphany. Xu Shu loudly drowned out the discussion and expounded her profound theory.

"Isn't that simple? Xiao Chen's talent is a 90 out of 100."

She always called Chen Qinhu, who was twice her size, "Little Chen," probably because she thought he was timid. "He was just unbalanced in his studies before, and his progress was delayed by his internal energy cultivation, but he kept accumulating it. Like a clogged toilet!"

Here we go again, another classic toilet humor metaphor.

"Mr. Ji is like a plunger; once you've plunged him through, all the pent-up energy just flows out at once. What's so hard to understand?"

The words are crude, but the principle is sound; however, the words are far too crude.

If Old Ji knew he was being compared to a plunger, he'd probably be so angry he'd puff out his beard and glare at everyone.

Lu Zhao gave a wink and called Chen Qinhu out.

"Let's go eat."

He grabbed his arm and pulled him away. "Not bad, Tiger. You're at the Iron Body Realm now. How does it feel?"

"I've tried it, it's impervious to swords and spears," Chen Qinhu said with a simple smile.

Lu Zhao was speechless: "Don't exaggerate like that, it's not like I've really turned into an iron body."

Chen Qinhu said, "Really!"

He took out the black beam knife that Zhou Changsheng had given him from his pocket and used the blade to scratch his skin.

It actually made a sound like metal being scratched...

Lu Zhao was shocked: "Holy crap!"

Clearly, Chen Qinhu's Iron Body Realm, forged by his extraordinary talent and profound magic, is quite different from ordinary Iron Body Realm cultivators.

This once again confirms the theory that everyone cultivates the Twelve Martial Scriptures of Heaven and Man, but the results are ever-changing.

"Mr. Ji said so."

Chen Qinhu said happily, "This is a sign that I'm about to master a special skill. Maybe I'll be able to master the Tortoise Shell Divine Skill as soon as I reach this stage."

Without a doubt, the Turtle Shell Divine Skill is indeed the name of a high-level special technique.

There are countless special skills in the world, and many people who enjoy creating special skills will give them abstract names.

Lu Zhao sighed and said seriously, "Promise me, if you really master this special skill, change your name."

Why?

Because I don't want to copy something called Turtle Shell Technique; Dog Breathing is enough.

Lu Zhao was speechless.

You can rename the special skills you learn yourself. For example, Xu Shu can call her skill of "sharpening the golden finger with one eye" the Six Meridian Divine Sword. However, this is easily seen as disrespectful to her seniors and an arrogant act.

He changed the subject: "Others use the Chongxuan Method to cultivate martial arts scriptures and comprehend the Xuanwu Heavy Armor, the power to lift the heavens, and the strength of the three peaks of the rock, but you're just using the Turtle Shell Divine Skill."

These three special skills, even with the Xuanwu Heavy Armor, are not purely defensive, but the Turtle Shell Divine Skill is extremely tough and has no offensive capabilities.

"Hehe, it's better to be cautious." Chen Qinhu didn't mind at all. Before he joined the army, all he could think about was how to survive.

Lu Zhao didn't say much. From a practical point of view, the Turtle Shell Divine Skill was more advantageous to him, since attack methods could be copied from others.

"Now that you've broken through, spend more time training with Shi Tou. His technique requires him to be constantly beaten up in order to break through."

"Okay." Chen Qinhu nodded in agreement. "Is there anything I should be careful about?"

"Just beat them to death."

"..."

After having lunch together, Lu Zhao went to the veterans' training ground as planned, intending to spar with Shen Xianke and Fang Ziran, or ask them for their insights on martial arts.

It's not that they know more than Old Ji; the main problem is that the instructors are at a higher level and may not be able to empathize with martial artists at a lower level.

It's like asking Tiancan Tudou how to write a wildly popular novel; he'll just say, "Just write something good." He wouldn't understand the fact that flops can't write anything good.

When Lu Zhao first arrived at the area where veterans lived, he found that the environment here was much more complicated than that of the new recruits. Specifically, there were entertainment venues, bars, cinemas, and restaurants that looked better than the canteens on the streets.

Although few in number, they can provide some emotional comfort during long voyages on the virtual sea.

The reason there wasn't one in the recruit area wasn't to uphold the principle of merit determining treatment, but rather because recruits had to make the most of every moment for training. As for entertainment, the instructors could just organize singing sessions.

Lu Zhao found two old soldiers squatting by the roadside smoking.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the training ground?"

The two veterans gave him a strange look at the halberd insignia on his chest.

One of the men, a public servant, didn't know where the training ground was. They were unaware that two new recruits had received first-class military merit a few days ago.

Which training ground are you asking about?

"Well.."

Lu Zhao hesitated.

How should I describe Shen Xianke and her group? Saying they're "connections" doesn't sound very nice. I should have asked that fat guy about it last time.

He suddenly recalled a clever way of putting it: "Those people who practiced martial arts before enlisting and have conditions that ordinary people don't have, where do they usually train?"

Afterwards, he gave him a knowing look.

The two veterans looked enlightened and pointed to the intersection ahead, saying, "Turn left and go to the end."

"Thank you so much!"

Lu Zhao ran in the direction they pointed.

The two veterans looked at each other strangely.

"He talks like a new recruit, how come he's already a public servant?"

"Who knows? I'm more curious why a lowly priest would go looking for those sorcerers, and why they'd even bother with him?"
