CH 29

Chapter 29 — BQV: 15+

“I’d like to rent the testing apparatus, please.”

It was the same old place, Red River Martial Arts Academy.

The pretty receptionist stared at Lu Sheng’s face for a while and smiled, “Brother, you’re here again? Is it that you’re so concerned about your grades because of the coming examinations?”

The pretty receptionist had recognized him.

Am I that frequent?

Lu Sheng froze for a moment and quickly reacted.

Yes, this was the third he was coming here this month.

He noticed that each time he came to test out his progress was when he’d relatively made a good improvement in his skills and strength, but he also partly blamed the extreme speed with which he was growing.

For a normal person, thrice a month was a lot. And he had measured it almost every week. While even in schools that cared most about a student’s progress, they would only ask the student to undergo the test only once a month.

Because the BQV was a dynamic value, the more frequent you measure it, the less accurate the value would be instead.

Unless the person undergoing the testing was a martial arts genius whose BQV rose rapidly, there would only be a significant increase in numbers once every few days.

“Oh, yeah …”

Lu Sheng had no explanations or reason had to give to the receptionist attempts at flirting, so he only indulged her with vague comments and perfunctory nods.

Walking into the familiar testing room, Lu Sheng found a random instrument. It was just as well that there was no one in the room, making it convenient for him to fiddle with the apparatus.

“It’s better if I gauge my BQV first.” This was the value he was more concerned about.

Lu Sheng took a sample of his blood and placed it under the sampling container of the testing apparatus.

Very quickly, with a soft sound of the machine, a value popped out.

15.632

“That big of an increase?” Lu Sheng himself was startled.

Thanks to his own thinking, he had come to a conclusion that his current level wasn’t enough to reach a Level 2 Martial Artist, but the value turned out to be greater than that.

If he thought about it, with the aid of martial cultivation of supreme martial artists, in addition to the most advanced tonics, 10,000 years into the future, it would be strange not to achieve such exaggerated results.

“Now for my CPI!”

A bright light flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes, and he aimed his fist fiercely at the strength measuring apparatus in front of him.

“Let me measure my relaxed state first!”

Boom …

With a muffled sound, a value popped up on the screen of the strength measuring instrument.

3137!

So high!

Lu Sheng was shocked for a moment.

Because he had absorbed a large amount of combat techniques and experience, his Combat Power Index had always exceeded the corresponding Blood-Qi Value standard.

But this time, the margin was too large.

It was twice as much as the standard!

It was something that Lu Sheng did not expect at all.

“Maybe it’s because of the hand-combat technique …”

Lu Sheng thought for a while and quickly found a clue.

His hand-combat skills, which had broken through once earlier, and he did not get to test it out after that. It was probably his fist techniques that had increased his power output, thus causing the value to soar.

“In that case, my ultimate combat power should be much higher than I initially expected it to be!”

Lu Sheng got a bit excited, and decided to measure it once more. This time, he decided to use the “Stellar Power Generation” technique …

Five minutes later, Lu Sheng walked out of the testing room.

He had a serene expression. One couldn’t discern his mood.

“Brother, did you finish the test? Are satisfied with the results this time?” The receptionist greeted him with a smile.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. His handsome face evoking a feeling a spring in the onlooker’s mind.

“Very satisfied.”

The receptionist winked playfully, “Then I wish you good luck  for your examinations.”

“Thanks.”

Lu Sheng waved his hand and walked out of the martial arts academy in large strides.

The receptionist looked at Lu Sheng’s back as he left and muttered with a smile, “Brat, acting cool, but he’s pretty good-looking when he smiles …”

“Who are you talking about?” A voice suddenly came out from behind the girl, startling her.

The girl turned her head to look at the person who spoke and immediately stood up.

“Senior Sister Ni!”

Ni Shuang stared at the direction Lu Sheng left, and a look of interest grew in her eyes. She had seen Lu Sheng when he had left the previous time, recognizing him as the poor genius who had managed to surprise her once before.

“Did that man come here for a test?”

“Yes. He’s been here three times this month. I guess he’s quite nervous about the upcoming examinations,” the receptionist said a matter-of-fact.

“Which machine did he use, take me to it,” Ni Shuang said, casually.

Ni Shuang had nothing to do, and she herself was a bit curious if whether this Lu Sheng had made any progress this time around.

“Okay, Senior Sister Ni.”

The receptionist quickly led Ni Shuang to the apparatus that Lu Sheng had used.

“He was the only one to use it, today. You should be able to find his date without much trouble.” The receptionist said. She then took the initiative to retrieve his data.

A few seconds later, Lu Sheng’s results popped out. The two waiting for the numbers took a good look at the shown results.

“Ah!”

The receptionist let out a shriek, her pretty eyes widened in an instant, and one hand fiercely covered her mouth.

Ni Shuang’s went through even more drastic and steep changes. She was extremely shocked, with “incredulous” written all over her face. Her eyes showing thick and unmasked disbelief as if she did not trust her eyes.

“This machine … is it broken?” Ni Shuang spoke in a hoarse and difficult tone.

The receptionist froze for several seconds before she reacted violently and blurted out, “Impossible! We serviced it yesterday!”

“Then that means …”

Ni Shuang took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock waves stirring her insides, and spoke with a bit of hesitation: “This score is the real one.”

The receptionist nodded with a dull look on her face.

Half a minute later, Ni Shuang’s voice resounded from within the testing room and could almost be heard even in the lobby of the academy.

“Find the teenager who just underwent his test! Immediately! Go now! Everyone leave now! He often comes to our Red River Martial Academy, he must not live far away, there must be someone nearby who knows him! Go!”

“Yes! Senior Sister Ni!”
