Chapter 10 — Bottleneck
Hoo-Huk-Hoo …
Inside the room, Lu Sheng sat on the floor in a strange posture, doing difficult manoeuvres with his body.
As his movements continued to change, his breathing also continued to adjust in a wonderful rhythm.
After the last action, Lu Sheng relaxed his body.
Sweat flowed down his muscles like a stream, and he looked like someone who had just stepped out of a sauna, with a faint heat radiating from all over his body.
“The combat zombies in the dream world basically practised this Body Refining Technique. Each person has a different degree of mastery and proficiency in parts, I am now very skilled in doing the whole set of movements perfectly …”
Different people practising the same Body Refining Technique will have varying effects individually.
For example, if one was better at the first set of 30 motions, then the next one would be better at the next 30 motions.
Different movements and motions correspond to the exercising of muscle groups for the individual, the result was the difference in physical quality of each person.
And Lu Sheng absorbed the memories of so many jumpsuit zombies and had integrated almost everyone’s good parts. So much so that he had now reached a very high level of attainment in this set of Body Refining Technique and the matching Breathing Technique.
“The results continue to be very good, and almost every day I can feel the development of previously dormant muscle groups.
“If the degree of development of the human body by this Body Refining Technique is 100%, then the Twenty-Four Forms Body Refining Technique couldn’t even be said to develop 1% of the body’s potential …
“The difference between these two Body Refinement Techniques is too great …”
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.
After the practice session, Lu Sheng got up and simply wiped his body with a towel. Just after changing into a dry clothes, a familiar knocking sound came from outside the door.
“Lu Sheng, come out to eat.”
“Got it.”
Lu Sheng replied and quickly cleaned up and walked out of the room.
The family was already waiting for him at the dining table.
There were seven or eight plates of dishes on the table, mostly meat dishes.
On Lu Sheng place, there was a basin full of white rice.
That’s right, a basin.
Because the family could no longer find a larger container than a basin.
“Little Saint, come and eat. ”
Zheng Yufen greeted Lu Sheng and sat down.
Lu Sheng nodded, sat down and began to bury his head in rice.
This week, Lu Sheng’s meal proportion became more and more exaggerated.
At the beginning, it was only twice the size of his sister Lu Qinghe, but now, it is close to five times the proportion of Lu Qinghe.
With two big eaters at home, mother Zheng Yufen’s daily cooking duty had turned into a major task.
“You really can eat …”
Lu Qinghe looked at the way Lu Sheng buried his head to pick up rice, she muttered a sentence, and then also reluctantly began to pick up a few mouthfuls of rice and began eating.
Lu Dahai smilingly watched his children eat. He was in an excellent mood.
“Eat without hesitation, there is plenty of rice.”
“What’s wrong with Xiao Sheng recently, he eats so much, and yet he’s still losing weight by the day …”
Zheng Yufen pinched Lu Sheng’s well-defined arm and said with some concern.
“What would you know … Boys are like this during their developmental stage.”
Lu Dahai chucked a piece of pork ribs into Lu Sheng’s rice bowl and asked with a smile, “Have you measured your BQV recently? How was it, did you see any increment?”
Lu Sheng did not even raise his head and said sullenly, “Yes, it has increased a little.”
Lu Dahai’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help asking, “How much did it increase?”
“Almost … I almost broke 1.”
Lu Sheng’s mouth was filled with rice, and he gave out a vague answer.
He did not dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring his parents, and it was not easy to explain.
“Almost broke 1? ! Great, great …”
Even if he had concealed most of his progress, this result had surprised Lu Dahai extremely.
“Tomorrow, I’ll buy you some potions to supplement your BQV, just eating won’t help much …”
Lu Sheng lifted his head, his eyes lingered on the plaster patch on his dad, Lu Dahai’s, shoulder and went silent for a while.
Lu Dahai was just an ordinary porter, and his mother’s salary at the supermarket was not high.
Affording their two children their daily martial arts resources should’ve been quite a burden on them, and buying additional supplements would only make the burden on the parents even heavier.
From his parents’ usual conversation, Lu Sheng learned that his dad had already started to take the initiative to find extra work. He had also begun to work overtime these days, while his mother was also working other part-time jobs.
“I must! I must find a way to make money!”
Lu Sheng secretly made up his mind.
…
On the gray mist shrouded wilderness, two figures were exchanging blows.
Lu Sheng’s opponent was a zombie dressed in a blue jumpsuit.
This type of zombie was much stronger than the ones he had encountered before, the ones wearing gray jumpsuits.
They had greater strength, were faster, and even retained some fighting skills. The one in front of him was like that.
The blue jumpsuit zombie roared in low voice and stretched out its thick arm to grasp at Lu Sheng fiercely.
The arm emitted a “whirring” sound of splitting air.
Lu Sheng’s eyes remained staid, he took a few steps forward abruptly, he used his shoulders and pressed it against the large arm of the blue jumpsuit zombie to block its punch.
Then quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around the latter’s neck in an unconventional position.
And shifted it downwards … and pulled back hard.
His knee blasted out like a cannonball and hit the zombie’s jaw fiercely.
Ka-chow!
The blue jumpsuit zombie’s head folded at a bizarre angle and lulled behind the shoulder.
After quivering for a while, it fell to the ground.
The corpse quickly withered, emitting a black line of smoke that quickly scurried into Lu Sheng’s body.
“Squad Leader … Expert at hand combat* …”
[TN: *subject to change]
When Lu Sheng opened his eyes, indicating that he had absorbed the memories.
The harvest this blue jumpsuit “elite monster” brought was not at all small.
After absorbing the memory, Lu Sheng felt that his comprehension of hand combat had reached a new level.
He seemed to have vaguely touched a bottleneck.
Moving forward was a brand-new world.
