Chapter 28 — Undying Spirit, Stellar Power Generation!
Base 1359.
Lu Sheng stood in the middle of a dilapidated street.
At a distance of ten meters from him, there stood a tall zombie.
This zombie was missing a left arm and had a huge wound over thirty centimeters long on its chest.
It tilted its head slightly, its hollow eyes gazing longingly in one direction.
Lu Sheng followed its lines of sight, and he saw the huge fissure in the city wall that he had passed by on his way in.
Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, and then slowly took a step forward.
This step seemed to have alerted the zombie, as the quiet one-armed zombie turned its head to look at him.
Without any words, the latter flung towards him.
Lu Sheng’s eyes were calm, he took a deep breath and bend his back slightly to meet him.
The two figures collided with great force in the empty and dilapidated street.
A touch and a split.
One of the figures thumped back a few steps.
Lu Sheng’s expression was slightly strained.
The fight with this one-armed zombie went for a long time. He felt a strong sense of danger emitting from it. But even so, when he was face to face with it, Lu Sheng still was at a disadvantage.
“It’s at least twice as strong as me …”
Lu Sheng did not panic. Countless accounts, experiences, and techniques tumbled up in his mind. He calmly threw punches, accurately and properly blocking each attack of the one-armed zombie.
The one-armed zombie was faster and stronger than Lu Sheng, and did not understand fatigue or pain. But it had an equally glaring weakness.
It was missing an arm, had no intelligence, and could only follow the combat instincts in its muscles to fight.
This gave Lu Sheng the opportunity to defeat it head-on.
Hoo-
Lu Sheng moved nimbly to avoid the one-armed zombie’s fist. Taking advantage of its momentary lapse, he found an opening in its defense. He clenched his fist and punched the one-armed zombie’s forehead.
His punch made a perfect arc. And in the process, the muscles on his arms seem to move as if they had gained a life of their own.
Bam!!
The one-armed zombie’s head directly exploded.
This punch was far more powerful than any of Lu Sheng’s previous punches. A lot more powerful.
The one-armed zombie fell down with a bang.
Lu Sheng walked up to it, looked at its mutilated body, and chanted lowly.
“Undying spirit …”
The one-armed zombie’s body quickly weathered, and its lifetime of experience and skill turned into a black smoke and beelined into Lu Sheng’s body.
Lu Sheng absorbed it without comment.
Nowadays, he long ceased to regard these zombies as mere monsters that gave him “exp” but always attached some inexplicable feeling to each of them.
Admiration, remembrance, or … even commitment.
The first thing one needed to do was to get a bearing of what one was doing.
“Level 5 Martial Artist, a powerhouse …”
Lu Sheng finished absorbing the memory of the one-armed zombie, and learned from the memory that the other party was a Level 5 Martial Artist when it was alive.
And it was particularly good at hand combat, and with its experience as a Level 5 Martial Artist and its ideas and perception on the subject, it let Lu Sheng directly breakthrough the barrier and step into a new realm of hand combat and martial arts.
“No wonder it had such strong punches. I wonder if I’ve met the criterion for a Level 2 Martial Artist after my breakthrough …”
Lu Sheng had been practicing Stellar Body Refining Technique, Natural Breathing Technique, and Crystal Contemplation Technique for almost a week, and had almost finished through his stock of Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction.
He felt that his BQV had increased by a lot, but wasn’t sure by how much exactly.
“Even if my BQV does not meet the required standards for a Level 2 Martial Artist, my current CPI should more than make up for it.If I use the secret method I learned, together with the Natural Breathing Technique …”
The secret method Lu Sheng referred to was actually a power generation technique.
A very high level power generation technique, recorded in the introductory chapter of the Stellar Body Refining Technique.
This kind of power generation technique could allow a martial artist to explode with power several times, tens of times, or even hundreds of times beyond his normal state, and his combat power would directly skyrocket.
However, this power generation technique required a high level of physical fitness from the user, and Lu Sheng could only reach four times the power generation in his current stat.
It was also very scary.
It was equivalent to letting a Level 1 Martial Artist burst out with the power equivalent to that of a Level 2 Martial Artist, or even Level 3.
This was simply unbelievable.
This news, if spread, could directly blow up the entire WMA.
Lu Sheng directly named this the Stellar Power Generation.
…
Awakening from the dream state, Lu Sheng opened his eyes.
His brain was alert, and he did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue at all.
Lu Sheng had discovered this long ago.
While he was cultivating and fighting in the dream world, his brain and body both would rest in real time.
This was akin to him having twice the time to cultivate compared to normal people, which could be considered as a unique advantage he was blessed with.
After waking up, he continued with the Stellar Body Refining Technique, the Natural Breathing Technique, and practiced Crystal Contemplation for a while.
After a week, Lu Sheng’s progress in the Crystal Contemplation method was quite admirable, and he had almost succeeded in building a crystal form in his mind, reaching the official introduction stage.
A session later, Lu Sheng went to take a shower. After he was back he realized that no one was home.
It was only 8 in the morning.
Lu Sheng thought about it and decided to head out.
“It’s been a while since I last tested my BQV and CPI, I should test it today. If I meet the requirements, I should be able to clear the martial artist test with ease …”
