85: So hot! Rolled up!

About an hour passed.

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

In his Dantian, the subtle Sword Qi had already reached one-thirtieth of a wisp of Sword Qi.

Although there was still some distance to a true wisp of Sword Qi, such progress in such a short time was already quite remarkable.

Lu Sheng stood up, his gaze fixed on the Sword Pool.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Sheng took a step forward.

The sharp Sword Qi remained, but now, after enduring the onslaught of wisps of Sword Qi, Lu Sheng already had sufficient resistance to the various sharp edges between heaven and earth.

As a result... Lu Sheng moved closer and closer to the Sword Pool.

This time, Lu Sheng stopped ten meters from the Sword Pool.

"This is the limit. To enter the Sword Pool, I probably need to reach at least one-tenth, or even one-fifth!"

Lu Sheng estimated, then retracted his gaze.

"Today is enough. My Sword Dao Realm has improved, and my cultivation... also has a faint opportunity for a Breakthrough!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly.

Although he had spent the entire day immersed in the Sword Dao Realm, cultivation and Sword Dao complemented each other.

The improvement in Sword Dao would naturally bring feedback to cultivation.

Although Lu Sheng had just Broken through to Blood Refinement First Layer today, with the nourishment of the Sword Qi in his body, Lu Sheng had already captured the opportunity to Breakthrough to Blood Refinement Second Layer.

"It is indeed Star Academy. With such training, everyone's progress will be very rapid!"

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's mind stirred slightly, and he directly exited the virtual world.

The virtual pod slowly opened. Lu Sheng glanced at the room, where only he was awake, and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Are they... that competitive?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but wonder.

But Lu Sheng didn't care. His Sword Dao Cultivate for today was almost done, and he still had to rush back to Breakthrough to Blood Refinement Second Layer, so there was no need to keep pushing himself.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time, no need to rush!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng had no more worries in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Lan Zhan, he left the room.

If Yu Qianqian and the others knew about Lu Sheng's thoughts, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood.

They were already forced to compete because of Lu Sheng's terrifying progress.

And after seeing them compete, Lu Sheng even felt it was unnecessary.

This gap in mindset... was slowly widening... The next day.

Sunlight streamed over Tianxing City, seemingly blowing away a hint of the oppressive gloom within the city.

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes from his bed.

A hint of crimson flashed through Lu Sheng's eyes, mixed with a touch of joy.

"Blood Refinement Second Layer!"

"Forty points of Qi and blood!!"

Lu Sheng's lips curved slightly upwards.

Just his Qi and blood alone were enough to rival an ordinary Blood Refinement Fourth Layer Martial Artist, plus Body Refining Third Layer Early Stage... and the Sword Qi within his body.

The current Lu Sheng... his Battle Intent was terrifying!

"Today, I will continue to Cultivate and strive... to enter the Sword Pool!"

Lu Sheng smiled, got up from his bed, and after a simple wash, headed towards the Cultivate room.

He didn't know if it was because Yu Qianqian and the others Cultivated too late yesterday or if Lu Sheng arrived too early, but when Lu Sheng arrived, he didn't see Yu Qianqian or the others.

However, Lu Sheng didn't care. Anyway, it was exclusive training, so he would just start first if he arrived first.

He skillfully lay down in the virtual pod. With a slight thought, Lu Sheng re-entered the virtual world.

The Sword Pool world reappeared before Lu Sheng.

And not long after Lu Sheng entered the virtual world, in the training room, the four figures of Gu Yun slowly arrived.

When they saw Lu Sheng, who had already entered the virtual pod and started Cultivating, the four of them fell silent.

But soon, in the eyes of all four, a similar flame, bit by bit, emerged.

The four exchanged glances, each seeing the fervent Battle Intent in the other's eyes.

So passionate!

They were competing!

A moment later, the four of them entered their virtual pods and began their respective training... Time passed little by little.

About two or three days passed.

The four of Gu Yun finally completed the requirements of the first part of the training and entered the second part of the training.

Naturally, Lan Zhan was immensely relieved by this.

In his estimation, it would take Gu Yun and the others at least four or five days to pass the first part of the training.

But with Lu Sheng's presence, he was like a catfish, stirring up the enthusiasm of the forty-fifth-grade students.

Through repeated internal competition, they completed the first part of the training in a very short time.

"At this rate, there might actually be hope of completing the first stage of training within a month!"

"At that time..."

A profound look suddenly appeared in Lan Zhan's eyes.

"It's also time to let you see the real Tianxing Great Wall!"

Lan Zhan murmured, his gaze involuntarily falling on the screen, on Lu Sheng's image.

Looking at Lu Sheng in the image, a strange expression appeared on Lan Zhan's face.

"This guy... is truly a Prodigy!"

Lan Zhan murmured, beneath the surprise, there was a sense of numbness.

In the virtual world.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged by the Sword Pool. At this moment, Lu Sheng could already withstand the sharpness of the Sword Pool world.

Although he still couldn't enter the Sword Pool, he could already sit by it.

Wisps of Sword Qi, under the pull force emanating from Lu Sheng's Dantian, surged into Lu Sheng's Dantian bit by bit.

And within Lu Sheng's Dantian, the subtle Sword Qi began to grow little by little.

Who knows how long passed, when suddenly, within Lu Sheng's Dantian, that subtle Sword Qi suddenly emitted a crisp sword cry, echoing within Lu Sheng's body.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The sword cries were incessant, just like a newborn baby at this moment, letting out its first cry upon arriving in this world.

Lu Sheng's body also trembled slightly with this sword cry.

Immediately after, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp look flashing through them.

Lu Sheng's lips curved slightly.

"Sword Qi... has finally successfully condensed!"

Lu Sheng's faint murmur sounded so crisp in the silent valley.

He slowly looked at the calm Sword Pool before him.

A ray of light flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.

"With the blessing of Sword Qi... perhaps I can enter the Sword Pool!"
