Chapter 40: Invincible Flow Script x Promise
The camp.
Luo Lin looked at Biscuit with a strange expression.
“Biscuit, are you saying that my physical condition is already at the peak of human capabilities, but because it hasn’t combined with life energy, it hasn’t fully manifested?”
“Exactly!” Biscuit nodded decisively.
There was no reason to hide this.
After all, once he unlocked nen, the speed at which life energy would merge with his body would be unimaginably fast, and by then, Luo Lin would naturally understand.
Luo Lin’s expression became indescribably strange.
What a surprise.
He had thought it was already absurd enough that his mental strength was comparable to Netero’s.
But in reality, his physical condition also matched Netero’s, perhaps even surpassing the aged Netero.
It was just that the short time since he crossed over hadn’t allowed his body to adapt to the life energy of this world, making him appear weaker.
But…
“I still don’t understand the relationship between life energy and physical fitness. Isn’t life energy supposed to nourish the body, allowing it to surpass human limits?”
“From what you’re saying, it doesn’t seem to work that way?” Luo Lin asked bluntly.
Isn’t this the role of a teacher? To ask questions when you don’t understand something.
“How should I explain this to you?” Biscuit paused in thought before answering.
“Actually, if it weren’t for your existence, the relationship between life energy and physical fitness would be exactly as you described.”
“For normal people, life energy nourishes the body, allowing humans to train their bodies to unimaginable levels of strength.”
“But in reality, the relationship isn’t just that. Because of life energy, when a normal person focuses on training, they will unintentionally stir up a small amount of dormant life energy.”
“This portion of life energy doesn’t get absorbed as nourishment to create a qualitative leap in physical fitness. Instead, it fills the body.”
“Think of it like a deflated tire and an inflated tire. Both are rubber tires, but there’s a huge difference.”
“Life energy, in a similar way, fills the human body. While nourishing the body and helping it grow stronger, it also allows the body to exhibit strength far beyond its true physical limits.”
“Otherwise, how could a human weighing a mere hundred or two hundred pounds possibly generate tens or hundreds of tons of force?”
Biscuit finished with this explanation.
Luo Lin immediately felt it made so much sense—it sounded scientific!
But then another question arose.
Considering that Luo Lin’s physical condition and mental strength were already at the human peak at level one, what would his capabilities be at level two? And what about level three or level four?
The answer: Invincible!
Luo Lin thought about how he could level up again after a month of intense effort.
So…
“I didn’t get a training-system script. I got an invincible-training-system script!” Luo Lin couldn’t help but think.
“Biscuit, I’m good now! So, what’s next…” Luo Lin eagerly looked at Biscuit.
Based on what Biscuit had said earlier, she should be teaching him nen next!
“Yes, next I’ll start teaching you nen,” Biscuit said, though she hesitated slightly.
“To be honest, I did hesitate over whether or not to teach you nen, but… compared to that, I’m more eager to see that old man Netero get a beating,” Biscuit said fiercely.
If it weren’t for that old man, she’d still be happily searching for gems by now. She might have already found some new ones to admire.
Instead, she was now facing this raw stone, not knowing whether it was a priceless treasure or Pandora’s box.
“Bah! It’s all that old fart’s fault! When the time comes, it’s his problem, not mine,” Biscuit muttered through gritted teeth.
Watching Biscuit’s poor acting performance, Luo Lin was speechless.
“Alright, I’ll make you a promise. Once I’ve mastered nen, I’ll tell you where I come from.”
“Deal!” Biscuit’s angry expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a cheerful smile as she looked at Luo Lin. “Just remember, this wasn’t me forcing you—it was you who agreed.”
“Yes, yes, I agreed on my own. But whether you believe me or not by then is your problem,” Luo Lin replied irritably.
Wasn’t her constant ranting about Netero just for this?
Obviously, Biscuit had only noticed a slight anomaly; she hadn’t figured out his situation like Netero had. But, women’s curiosity is something else…
Luo Lin sighed softly.
However, Biscuit’s explanation did help him feel a bit more at ease.
With an invincible stream script, what was there to fear?
Moreover, once he mastered nen, he could leave at any time. By then, even if he were exposed, it wouldn’t matter.
At the same time, Biscuit was secretly laughing to herself.
“Heh, this kid thinks he can fool me, but he’s got a long way to go!”
As an old con artist… no, a seasoned veteran, Biscuit could instantly tell whether someone was lying.
Especially someone like Luo Lin, who wore his emotions on his face like an open book.
“Come on, I’ll teach you nen as fast as possible and get you up to speed!” Biscuit was suddenly full of motivation.
Luo Lin was momentarily stunned, but he quickly caught on.
“Alright. The day I’ve mastered nen, I’ll definitely tell you where I come from,” Luo Lin nodded firmly.
However…
Luo Lin’s earlier reaction hadn’t escaped Biscuit’s notice.
As she had mentioned before, someone like Luo Lin, with all his emotions written on his face, was as transparent as could be.
So…
“When you said ‘mastering nen,’ did you really just mean learning it?” Biscuit stared blankly at Luo Lin.
“No, I meant mastering it—completely mastering nen,” Luo Lin shook his head seriously.
“You… I…” Biscuit was dumbfounded.
She clearly hadn’t expected Luo Lin’s ambitions to be so modest. He was willing to reveal his origins just after unlocking nen, but now…
From the look on his face, it was clear that he intended to satisfy her curiosity only after fully mastering nen.
“No—”
…
(Luo Lin: No, no, no, that’s what I intended all along!)
(Luo Lin: (￣︶￣))
