It was a bit different from what Lu Sheng had imagined. After leaving the selection passage, he was directly escorted back to the room he was in before.
The officer escorting him told him to take a good rest.
Although he had been confirmed as the Enlightened Star General, the rest of the results were yet to be evaluated to be presented in the final ranking.
The room had been cleaned, and there were two supplements on the small table beside the bed.
One was a blue pill. With information marking that it was to replenish physical energy, and the other was a purple liquid, which was specially prepared for a spiritual master to replenish spiritual strength.
Lu Sheng did not expert too much in this selection.
Having the Natural Breathing Technique, his stamina was almost dozens of times that of an ordinary martial artist at the same level, and he had the endurance to withstand drawn out fierce drawn out battles.
To be precise, apart from breaking through the limit in his daily practice, he had not experienced the feeling of being exhausted in battle for a long time.
This was one of his advantages, but it went unnoticed. It would’ve given them another thing to be shocked over.
Regarding his spiritual power, he had consumed less than half of his total reserves. The main reason was that the Mastery technique, Ten Suns, One Sky, consumed a lot of energy.
Lu Sheng made an estimate by himself. With his current reserve of spiritual power, it could at the most support him use the Master-level technique three to four times at the most. If he tried to overdo it, his spiritual power would be overdrawn from him, and he’d feel tingling in his brain.
Lu Sheng picked up the spiritual supplement on the table, opened it and poured it into his mouth.
A trace of coolness immediately diffused from the depths of the cerebral cortex, quickly flowing through his entire brain.
“It is equivalent to soothing the cerebral cortex, stimulating the release of potential in the cerebral region, thereby achieving the effect of restoring spiritual strength. In fact, it is equivalent to a high-level functional drink, which is refreshing. In a sense, it is similar in principle to the Crystal Contemplation Method. But it’s completely different from absorbing memory fragments …”
Lu Sheng savoured the effect of this spiritual potion carefully, and found that the effect was really unsatisfactory. After drinking a bottle of the potion, the refreshing feeling lasted only a few minutes, and it was over.
Lu Sheng recovered less than one-tenth of his spiritual power.
“Maybe it has something to do with me. My spiritual power and purity are much higher than ordinary Level 3 Spiritual Masters, which gives me wanting more in terms of efficacy. It may be different for others …”
Immediately afterwards, Lu Sheng took the little pill to restore his physical strength.
This stuff was even better.
After Lu Sheng ate it, it was not much different from not eating it at all, and it was no different from chewing a Snickers bar when he was bored.
Lu Sheng suddenly remembered He Ling Su.
I don’t know what’s going on with He Ling Su’s Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction.
Since he left Baihe City, Lu Sheng had yet to contact her.
After taking the supplements, Lu Sheng sat on the bed and began to practice the Breath of Thunder that he had just comprehended.
Switch, Breath of Thunder.
Lu Sheng’s breathing rate and rhythm suddenly became strange and prolonged.
He seemed to be able to hear the muffled sound of thunder rolling within the dark clouds right before rainfall, from within his chest.
The circulating breath stimulated the muscles and blood of his whole body, including the bones, as if trying to produce something out of it.
Under this kind of stimulation, Lu Sheng punched violently.
A different sound erupted from his punch as it broke through the air.
“It’s faster, and the explosive power released is also much stronger … It combines the advantages of the Breath of Flames and the Breath of Wind respectively, but has it reached the extreme of these two breathing techniques? Generally speaking, it is considered to be more balanced and more comprehensive than Natural Breathing Technique …”
Of course, he wouldn’t understand the true potential of these four breathing techniques unless and until he reached Level 4 and developed inner strength.
The true power behind the special breathing techniques would come to fore once he gained inner strength. The little strength he gained wasn’t even the near close to what the breathing techniques were actually capable of.
Lu Sheng, who finished experimenting with the Breath of Thunder, lay flat on the bed. The bed was not particularly soft, but Lu Sheng was very relaxed.
He was like a string pulled taut for a while now. Never relaxing in the slightest. Now that the dust of Qiming General Selection has settled, he could finally take a breather.
“Did I push myself too hard …” Lu Sheng raised a hand in front of his eyes, looked at the gray ceiling through the gap between his five fingers, and thought silently in his heart. “If I didn’t have the weight of the future on me, I could easily lead a very comfortably life now …”
For a moment, Lu Sheng began to miss the salted fish life of his from a while ago. He would secretly nap in cultural class, hang out with his classmates in combat class, laugh and make merry with his buddies, and go straight to the Internet café after school …
“Doesn’t everyone live ? What does the future 10000 years and its development of martial arts have to do we me? I’ll be long dead by then, anyhow. It’s possible that even descendants won’t survive till then …
“Why should I, an ancient man from 10,000 years ago, worry about people suffering disasters 10,000 years from now? I don’t even know if there even is a next life, so I just have to live this life happily. Right, Lu Sheng …”
Lu Sheng’s thoughts began to leave him, and something in him seemed be gradually leaving him. But in the end, Lu Sheng still clenched the five fingers stretched out in front of his eyes bit by bit.
“No.” His expression became serious and determined. “Since you’ve seen it with your own eyes, how can you pretend to have not seen it? Now that you have made a choice, how can you give up easily? I am not only doing this for the people of the distant future, but also for myself. Since I’ve seen the peak, how can I be satisfied and be willing to live in a ditch?
“Giving it your all, even if it means gnashing your teeth, breaking bones … it’s not something anyone can have. I should consider myself lucky …”
Lu Sheng’s eyes gained their former calm, “I came, I saw, and I’m willing to burn for this. This is my choice. This is what I want.”
At this moment, the golden sun in Lu Sheng’s mind suddenly shone brightly, releasing infinite light and infinite heat, outlining densely packed small blood vessels, muscles, tendons, nerve endings, and lymphatic tissues in his body …
The Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture, breakthrough …
It also affected the surrounding organs and tissues.
Qi and blood roared in Lu Sheng’s veins.
There was a brilliant golden light in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
“Just rebuilding my thoughts has caused 20% increase in by BQV per the Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture. If Rebuild my entire self, the effect might increase far beyond my previous imagination …”
In addition, the spiritual power also saw surge and greatly improved for a period of time, at least 50% higher than before.
