30: The arrogant Kong Xin, standing still!

Lu Sheng fumbled to catch the Golden Core that Kong Xin threw over.

Looking at the Golden Core he held in his hands, Lu Sheng suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Although Lu Sheng currently didn't know what effect the Golden Core had, the terrifying power contained within it alone was enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

Furthermore, besides Kong Yunchang and Lan Linglong, the other Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall looked at him with fervent eyes, which further indicated the Golden Core's significance.

Yet, such a thing seemed to be nothing in Kong Xin's eyes.

"This..."

Lu Sheng looked at the Golden Core in his hand and couldn't help but lick his lips, but he still raised his head to look at Kong Xin.

"Senior Sister, this is perhaps too valuable. I... cannot accept it!"

In the end, Lu Sheng suppressed the greed in his heart.

Although the Golden Core in front of him could upgrade his System Rank, Lu Sheng was not a naive fool. Accepting such a grand gift from Kong Xin now meant that he would eventually have to repay this favor!

Kong Xin waved her hand nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? If you want more, come to my place later. I can kill a few Heteromorphic Golden Body and dig out their Golden Cores for you every day!"

As soon as she said this, Lu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became somewhat strange.

How could a Golden Body Realm existence be like fish waiting to be slaughtered in Kong Xin's mouth, easily killed?

One must know that a Golden Body Realm existence was several Realms above the Viscera Refining Realm.

Looking across the entire Southwest region of Great Xia, the number of Martial Artists with such Cultivation would definitely not exceed two digits.

Yet, Kong Xin didn't care about it at all.

How terrifying was his Senior Sister's strength?

Lu Sheng's heart couldn't help but be swept by waves of shock.

"Alright, Little Junior Brother. Since Senior Sister has said so, then just accept it. Just as Senior Sister said, this Golden Core... really isn't much to her!"

At this moment, Lan Linglong's gentle voice slowly sounded.

Listening to Lan Linglong's words, Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment before putting away the Golden Core, then bowed slightly to Kong Xin.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Kong Xin waved her hand and casually sat on a chair, her gaze suddenly becoming sharp as she looked behind Lu Sheng and reprimanded loudly.

"All of you, stand properly! Since I'm back, don't even think about slacking off!"

The Martial Hall Disciples, who had been looking for opportunities to slack off because of Lu Sheng's arrival, all changed their expressions upon hearing Kong Xin's words, and then resumed standing in those strange postures.

At this moment, Lu Sheng also sat on a chair, looking at the standing posture of a Martial Hall Disciple, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Senior Sister, what's the use of them standing like that?"

Although Lu Sheng could see that standing in such a posture consumed a lot of physical strength, he didn't know what effect it had.

Kong Xin glanced at Lu Sheng and explained: "This is Standing Stake, a method used by the military to train soldiers' physiques. You should know that for a Martial Artist, besides their own Qi Blood, their physique is also very important!"

"Some Martial Artists with strong physiques can easily achieve cross-Realm combat, so training the physique while Cultivating Qi Blood has a good effect on later Realms."

"Oh, right..."

Kong Xin seemed to have thought of something, her gaze falling on Lu Sheng, a glimmer flashing in her eyes.

"How about you try it too? It's a good chance for me to see what your physique is like!"

Listening to Kong Xin's words, Lu Sheng's heart was also a little eager to try.

During this time, relying on his 【Slaughter】 talent, his physical fitness, or physique, had improved a lot.

However, Lu Sheng didn't have a very clear understanding of the current strength of his physique.

It was a good opportunity to try this strange standing posture and see what level his physique had reached.

"Okay!"

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he stood up, walking towards the open space.

"Just imitate them and stand. The longer you stand, the stronger your physique naturally becomes!"

Kong Xin's reminder came from behind.

Lu Sheng nodded, then stood next to a Martial Hall Disciple, imitating his posture, and began to clumsily assume that strange stance.

In the rest area.

Lan Linglong looked at Lu Sheng's actions and couldn't help but scold softly: "Senior Sister, Little Junior Brother is only in the Qi Blood Realm and hasn't started Body Refining. If you make him do Standing Stake so early, what if he harms himself?"

Kong Xin's gaze fell on Lu Sheng, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Although Kong Xin said so, Lan Linglong was still a little worried. After all, Martial Artists in the Qi Blood Realm primarily focused on Qi Blood, and Body Refining was mostly done in the Hundred Meridians Realm.

"Alright, since your Senior Sister said so, she naturally has a plan. Don't worry!"

At this moment, Kong Yunchang, who had been silent, spoke up for once.

Lan Linglong then relaxed and looked at Lu Sheng.

By this time, Lu Sheng had almost learned the Standing Stake posture.

Standing Stake was not difficult to learn, but like horse stance, everyone might be able to do it at first, but as time passed, the stimulation of gravity on the muscles made it very difficult to persist without strong willpower and physical fitness.

Lu Sheng stood quietly in place, mimicking the Standing Stake posture.

At first, Lu Sheng only felt a little awkward, with no other sensations.

However, as time went on, Lu Sheng found that when he maintained this posture, all the muscles in his body seemed to be enduring a huge force, and a stimulating soreness instantly pricked Lu Sheng's nerves.

"Indeed, this Standing Stake is not as simple as I imagined, but my current physique is much stronger than before, so I should be able to last for a while!"

Lu Sheng thought silently.

In the rest area.

Kong Xin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Lu Sheng maintaining his Standing Stake, and suddenly spoke.

"Junior Sister, how long do you think Little Junior Brother can last?"

Lan Linglong pondered for a moment: "Little Junior Brother hasn't started Body Refining yet, so he can probably last about two minutes!"

Two minutes was basically an excellent level that a Peak Qi Blood Martial Artist could maintain.

However, Kong Xin's mouth curved slightly upwards, and she said softly.

"Two minutes, huh? But why do I feel that Little Junior Brother can last... five minutes?"
