Chapter 51 — Beasts Tread Alone, While Cattle Herd Together
Using his spiritual power to see, everything within a hundred meters radius was visible to him.Using X-ray vision was a basic functionality now.
Then he spread the spiritual power throughout the surface of his body.
For example, the spiritual power focussed on the legs, could not only reduce the resistance from air, but also generate propulsion force, greatly increase his speed. He could also achieve an effect similar to making him weightless.
Lu Sheng estimated that if his spiritual power was strong enough to a certain extent, he could even rely solely on it to levitate!
When the same spiritual power was concentrated on his fist, it could enhance his explosive power to a certain extent.
But it could also be used without augmenting his body parts. Lu Sheng had tried it before, and he could completely rely on his spiritual power to lift a heavy object of about 20 kilograms.
This was almost equivalent to the “telekinesis” described in novels. There were also people who simply used their spiritual power to thrash people.
Lu Sheng had tried to attack zombies in the dream world using just his spiritual power, but the results weren’t ideal. Still, considering how the zombies were rendered nearly unconscious immediately, the power it could generate was much stronger than he had previously anticipated.
In short, spiritual power was like a panacea for Lu Sheng. It could be used everywhere, and was effective every time. It could not get any better.
At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a sealed passage with four walls made of pure steel plates. It was about two meters wide and could accommodate four people walking side by side.
Someone reached out and knocked on the wall, and a dull ringing sound came from within the wall.
Their expressions doured at that.
This proved that the surrounding walls were much thicker than they had thought.
Lu Sheng just stood in the corner watching the group of teenagers conducting various experiments, in fact, he had already scouted everything underneath the moment he had entered the space.
The steel plates on the walls were more than 50 centimetres thick, and there was a concrete wall behind the steel plates. Basically, there was only one way to go.
In addition, there were some unexpected contraptions hidden in the wall. Of course, these teenagers needed to discover those by themselves.
“From the looks of it, this is the so-called induction ceremony.”
Among the students from Qingyuan City, there was a tall, thin, and handsome boy with a proud expression on his face. He sneered and said, “I thought it would be something special, so it’s just this? So boring.”
Someone shouted, “Lin Shaoyu, did you already know that there was something fishy about the induction ceremony?
Fuck, why didn’t you remind everyone about it earlier? I fell down on my butt, and it hurts so much that I feel it’s going to split!”
The boy called Lin Shaoyu glanced at him in disdain and said, “You don’t even have the ability to adapt to the situation, and you still have the nerve to call yourself an official martial artist?”
“You!” The youth who was ridiculed had a look of shame and anger on his face, but he didn’t dare to do anything.
“Alright, stop arguing. We are all from the same city, and it wasn’t easy for us to get into this training camp. None of us want to be eliminated. Let’s hurry up and think of a way to clear this test.”
A tall and sweet-looking girl came out to smooth things over.
“What can we do? We can keep moving forward,” someone said. “Didn’t the person who led us in just now say that we can clear the examination if we reach the exit?”
“If we stick together, we will definitely be able to pass the subsequent tests. After all, we have ten Level 1 Martial Artists.”
Suddenly, someone pointed at Lu Sheng in the corner and said, “What about this guy? He’s not from Qingyuan City.”
Suddenly, all eyes landed on Lu Sheng. These people stared at Lu Sheng, and their expressions gradually became playful.
“Just in time. Since we don’t know what dangers lie ahead, we can use him to test out the way ahead,” someone suggested.
Immediately someone echoed.
“That’s a good idea.”
The pretty girl from earlier was reluctant, “This … I don’t think that’s a good idea. He’s here to participate in the training, just like us …”
The boy called Lin Shaoyu smiled and comforted her, “It doesn’t matter. People like him who rely on connections to get in and didn’t even clear the Martial Arts Assessment will be eliminated in a few days even if he enters the training camp. It doesn’t matter …”
Lu Sheng listened in amusement on the side and shook his head and stood out.
“Yo, you’re quite proactive.”
Lin Shaoyu nodded and said, “Kid from Baihe City, if you behave well, we might consider giving you a hand and let you follow behind us later.”
Lu Sheng smiled with a calm face and said indifferently: “Beasts tread alone, while cattle herd together.”
After saying that, Lu Sheng walked towards the passage without looking back.
Lin Shaoyu quickly reacted and a look of shame and anger appeared on his face.
“Fuck, how dare you call me cattle?!”
Lin Shaoyu rushed forward, raised his fist, and tried to punch Lu Sheng from behind.
At this moment, the steel plates on both sides of the passage between Lin Shaoyu and Lu Sheng suddenly shrank, and a black shadow emerged from the wall.
Lin Shaoyu jumped and retracted his body.
Immediately after, as if some kind of chain reaction was triggered. Sounds of a series of mechanical clicks and cogs of machines running could be heard behind the steel plated wall, and a many black shadows scurried about one after another.
In just a few seconds, the originally empty passageway was filled with tall and burly figures.
There were black shadows of burly figures blocking their way every few meters, and there was only so much gap left between them.
When the group from the Qingyuan City saw the black shadow’s appearance, their expressions changed.
“Mechanical puppets!”
