Inside his room, Lu Sheng was sitting on the floor in a strange posture.
As he kept changing his posture, his breathing also adjusted accordingly in a wonderful rhythm.
After the final movement, Lu Sheng relaxed his body.
Sweat flowed down his muscles like a stream, and his whole body was steaming as if he had just stepped out of a sauna.
âThe combat zombies in the dream world were all practising this Body Refining Technique before they died, each with different levels of proficiency with different body parts. I am now able to do the whole set of movements perfectlyâŠâ
The results will naturally vary even if different people practice the same Body Refining Technique.
For example, someone might be better at the first 30 movements, while someone else might be better at the last 30 movements.
Different movements correspond to different muscle group exercises, resulting in the difference in each individualâs physical qualities.
And Lu Sheng absorbed the memories of so many uniform zombies, almost integrating the parts that everyone was good at,, so much so that he has now attained a very high level of proficiency in the set of Body Refining Technique and the accompanying Breathing Method.
âThe effects are still amazing. I can almost feel my previously unexercised muscle groups being developed every day.â
âIf the level of human bodyâs development with this set of Body Refining Technique is at 100%, then the level of human bodyâs development with the 24 Forms of Body Refining implemented by the Global Martial Union may not even be 1%âŠâ
âThe difference between these two Body Refining Techniques is simply too greatâŠâ
Lu Sheng couldnât help but sigh.
After practice, Lu Sheng got up and simply used a towel to wipe off his body.
A familiar knocking sound came from outside the door just after he changed into some dry clothes.
âLu Sheng, come out to eat.â
âGot it.â
Lu Sheng replied back and quickly cleaned up before walking out of his room.
The family was already waiting for him at the dinner table.
There were around seven or eight plates of dishes on the table, most of which were meat dishes.
A basin full of white rice was placed in front of the seat belonging to Lu Sheng.
Thatâs right, a basin.
Because the family could no longer find a container larger than a basin.
âXiao[1] Sheng, come and eat.â
[1. Xiao = Little. (An affectionate way of calling someone)]
Mother Zheng Yufen asked Lu Sheng to sit down.
Lu Sheng nodded, sat down, and began to bury his face in rice.
Over the past week, Lu Shengâs meal size had progressively gotten larger and larger.
Initially, it was only twice the size of his sister Lu Qinghe, but now, itâs nearly five times the size that Lu Qinghe eats.
With two large eaters at home, mother Zheng Yufenâs everyday task: cooking, had become a major job.
âReally can eatâŠâ
Lu Qinghe looked at the way Lu Sheng buried his face in rice and muttered out, then she also stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into her own mouth, not willing to be outdone by him.
Lu Dahai joyously watched the pair of kids eating, his mood was very pleasant.
âEat all you want, thereâs more than enough rice.â
âWhatâs wrong with Xiao Sheng recently, he eats so much, but is still getting thinner and thinnerâŠâ
Zheng Yufen pinched Lu Shengâs sharply defined arm and said with some concern.
âWhat do you know⊠boys are like this during their development period.â
Lu Dahai added a piece of pork ribs to Lu Shengâs rice bowl and asked with a smile, âHave you measured your Blood Qi Value recently, did it increase?â
Lu Sheng didnât even raise his head and said in a muffled voice, âYes, it has increased a little.â
Lu Dahaiâs eyes lit up, and he couldnât help but ask, âHow much did it increase by?â
âAlmost⊠almost exceeded 1, I think.â
Lu Shengâs mouth was stuffed with rice as he replied in a vague manner.
He didnât dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring his parents, nor could he explain.
âAlmost exceeded 1? Good, goodâŠâ
Even if he had withheld most of his progress, this result still made Lu Dahai extremely surprised.
âTomorrow, Iâll go out and buy some pills for you⊠Blood Qi growth isnât something that can be replenished by just eatingâŠâ
Lu Sheng lifted his head, and his eyes lingered on the plaster patch that showed a corner of his dad, Lu Dahaiâs, shoulder for a while, but he didnât speak.
Lu Dahai was only an ordinary worker, and his motherâs salary at the supermarket wasnât high either.
With a family like this, it was already a struggle to afford the everyday martial arts practice for the two kids.
Buying additional pills would only make the burden on his parents even heavier.
From his parentsâ usual conversation, Lu Sheng learned that Lu Dahai was already actively looking for extra jobs to do after work these days, while his mother was also working other part-time jobs.
âI have to! I have to find a way to make money!â
Lu Sheng secretly made up his mind within his heart.
â â â
Two figures were exchanging blows in the grey mist-covered wilderness.
Lu Shengâs opponent was a zombie dressed in a blue uniform.
This type of zombie was much stronger than the ones he had encountered at first, the ones wearing grey uniforms.
They had greater strength, greater speed, and they had even retained some of their combat skills.
The one before him was one of them.
The blue uniform zombie roared and extended its big arm to fiercely grasp Lu Sheng.
The arm made a âwhirringâ sound in the air as it approached Lu Sheng.
Lu Shengâs eyes remained unchanged, taking several fierce steps forward, using his shoulder against the blue uniform zombieâs big arm, he deflected the punch.
Then he quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around its neck in an obscure position.
With a fierce downwards pullâŠ
His knee blasted out like a cannonball, brutally hitting the zombieâs jaw.
Crack!
The blue uniform zombieâs head turned at a weird angle, drooping behind its shoulders.
After staggering for a bit, it fell to the ground.
The zombie quickly weathered, and a black line of smoke emerged, rapidly scurrying into Lu Shengâs body.
âSquad leader⊠good at fist techniquesâŠâ
Lu Sheng opened his eyes, indicating that the memories had already been absorbed.
The blue uniform âelite monsterâ brought Lu Sheng a considerable harvest.
After absorbing the memories, Lu Sheng felt that his comprehension of the fist techniques had reached a new level.
