93: Crazy improvement, is the fourth part so simple?

A faint blood-red mist drifted around Lu Sheng.

It exuded a subtle, almost imperceptible pressure.

On Lu Sheng's skin, a faint red shimmered, as if molten lava surged within his Physical Body.

As a result, the temperature of Lu Sheng's body surface rose slightly at this moment.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's body trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

His clear eyes, however, showed a hint of joy.

"Blood Refinement... Third Stage!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, and a powerful aura emanated from within his body.

Blood Refinement Third Stage, Qi and Blood eighty points!

Just this Qi and Blood alone was comparable to an ordinary Blood Refinement Eighth Stage Martial Artist, and even more so, because he had broken through the twenty-point Qi and Blood Limit.

The quality of Lu Sheng's Qi and Blood was even stronger than that of a Blood Refinement Eighth Stage Martial Artist!

It could be said that in terms of Qi and Blood Cultivation alone, Lu Sheng had already surpassed an ordinary Blood Refinement Eighth Stage Martial Artist.

Coupled with a Physical Body infinitely close to Body Refining Third Stage Middle Stage... Lu Sheng's combat power was extremely formidable now!

"And Hidden Dragon Sword Qi, as well as..."

A glimmer of light flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes, and then, with a slight thought from Lu Sheng, a finger bone, like white jade, appeared before Lu Sheng's chest.

The finger bone floated in mid-air, exuding a sharp aura.

"Sword Demon Clan Sword Bone?"

"Why did the System not react this time?"

Lu Sheng murmured, a little puzzled.

Previously, when facing a Sword Demon Clan Golden Core, the System had shown a strong desire to devour it.

But this time, facing the Sword Demon Clan Sword Bone, which was far more precious than a Sword Demon Clan Golden Core, the System had no reaction at all.

"Is it because my Rank or energy is not enough?"

Lu Sheng pondered.

The benefits of a System Level Up were undoubtedly many, especially the refresh rate, but now it seemed that this System Level Up was not such an easy thing.

Lu Sheng immediately opened the System page.

【Host: Lu Sheng!】

【Cultivation: Blood Refinement Third Stage! (80)】

【Martial Arts: "Luohan Fist" (Perfection), "Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation" (Second Level), "Hidden Dragon Formless Sword" (Hidden Dragon Realm Early Stage)】

【Martial Arts Talent: 【Level Up!】 (Purple) 【Fist Technique Master】 (Blue) 【Strong Strike】 (White) 【Tenacity】 (Green) 【Ronin】 (White) 【"Slaughter"】 (Purple) 【Good Luck】 (Green) 【Sword Dao Divinity】 (Red)】

【Refresh Count: 4】

The refresh count had accumulated to four, and in a little over a month, he would be able to exchange for a red Talent again.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Sheng's mouth curved slightly upward.

"I still have time, so I'll refine this thing first!"

Lu Sheng looked at the Sword Demon Clan Sword Bone floating before his chest, licked his lips, and his eyes gleamed.

Immediately, Qi and Blood surged, roaring out from Lu Sheng's body in an instant, directly enveloping the Sword Demon Clan Sword Bone before him.

Refining it bit by bit... A few days later.

In the Cultivation room.

Lan Zhan looked at the screen before him.

On the screen, there were five images, which were precisely the five youngsters of the forty-fifth batch.

At this moment, whether it was Gu Yun or Yu Qianqian and the others.

They had all successfully passed the second part of the training and entered the third part.

As for Lu Sheng... Lan Zhan's gaze shifted to the image belonging to Lu Sheng.

When the others had just entered the third part of the training, a dark stone tower had already appeared before Lu Sheng.

The fourth part, Sword Mountain!

Indeed, in just a few days, Lu Sheng had already passed the third part of the practical combat training.

In fact, practical combat training was not a difficult matter for Lu Sheng.

As early as in Yun City, Lan Linglong, in order to train Lu Sheng's practical combat ability, had him fight with Vicious Beasts in the suburbs.

Coupled with the later disaster of the Gate of Summoning, Lu Sheng had even clashed with true Demon Race powerhouses.

Even, in order to be able to come to Star Academy, Lu Sheng had survived in the wild for more than a month.

On such a foundation, Lu Sheng's practical combat experience was naturally very rich.

Therefore, although practical combat training was the third part of the training, it was not very difficult for Lu Sheng.

In fact, if Lu Sheng wanted to, he could pass the third part of the training in just one day.

The reason he had just entered the fourth part, the Sword Mountain training, was only because Lu Sheng wanted to check for omissions and make up for his shortcomings in practical combat.

Only after everything was at Perfection did Lu Sheng enter the fourth part of the Sword Mountain training.

But even so, he had already left Yu Qianqian and the others a whole section behind.

"Blood Refinement Fifth Stage, Hidden Dragon Sword Qi, Body Refining Third Stage Middle Stage... Hiss!"

Lan Zhan looked at Lu Sheng on the screen and couldn't help but gasp.

He rubbed his temples, but the shock in his heart still stirred up waves.

Lu Sheng's progress was simply too fast.

In less than ten days since the first stage of training began, he had gone from just entering the Blood Refinement Realm to his current Blood Refinement Fifth Stage.

A full one hundred and twenty points of Qi and Blood, surpassing most Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artists.

Even those Prodigies whose Qi and Blood Limit reached nineteen points were not Lu Sheng's opponents in the same Realm.

And Body Refining, which was extremely difficult for all Martial Artists to Cultivate, seemed to have no Bottleneck for Lu Sheng at all.

He had already reached Body Refining Third Stage Middle Stage, comparable to a Hundred Veins Fourth Stage Martial Artist.

Such terrifying Qi and Blood and Body Refining, as well as the increasingly condensed Hidden Dragon Sword Qi.

Even if a third-order Alien Demon stood before Lu Sheng, Lan Zhan would not worry about any problems for Lu Sheng.

This guy... was truly a Prodigy!

Lan Zhan grimaced, and when he looked at the images of the other four youngsters, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Lu Sheng's existence... puts a bit too much pressure on them!"

Lan Zhan also had a headache.

It wasn't his first time teaching students, but although the students he taught before were all Prodigies, there were still gaps between them.

However, the gap between Lu Sheng and these youngsters was truly a bit too large!

Perhaps pressure could motivate a person to improve, but when the pressure was too great, it could even directly destroy a person's confidence!

"It seems that after the Tianxing Great Wall stage is over, the five of them will have to train separately!"

Lan Zhan let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat helpless.

Separate training usually meant completing tasks.

Only second-year Star Academy students would encounter this subject, but due to Lu Sheng's existence, the students of this forty-fifth batch had to encounter this subject in advance.

He didn't know if it was good or bad!

Lan Zhan was deeply worried in his heart.

And at this moment, within the Spirit Realm.

Lu Sheng stood before the black stone tower, and he could clearly feel the extremely sharp aura emanating from within the stone tower.

Lu Sheng was extremely familiar with this aura.

Sword Qi!

It was just that compared to the Sword Qi in the Sword Pool, the Sword Qi in this stone tower seemed to have something else in it.

This feeling... was like life itself!

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the black stone tower before him.

The black stone tower had a total of nine layers, and Lu Sheng's task for this part was to start from the first layer of the stone tower, ascend the Sword Mountain, and reach the ninth layer!

Only then would the fourth part of the training be considered complete.

After a brief thought, Lu Sheng took a step forward and pushed open the door of the Sword Mountain.

Creak~

The heavy stone door slowly opened, and in an instant, an even sharper aura roared out from the first layer of the stone tower, directly enveloping Lu Sheng.

It was as if countless blades and swords were falling upon Lu Sheng's skin.

If it were the previous Lu Sheng, facing this surge of Sword Qi, he might have felt extremely uncomfortable.

But the current Lu Sheng... allowing the sharp Sword Qi to fall upon him, Lu Sheng walked into the stone tower as if he felt nothing.

The first layer of the stone tower was empty.

All that existed was the sharp Sword Qi diffused throughout the first layer.

"So... the training of the stone tower is Sword Qi?"

Lu Sheng was a little confused.

Logically, in the first stage of training, with five parts, the further back one went, the greater the difficulty should be.

Why did this stone tower, despite feeling extremely sharp, not bring any pressure to Lu Sheng?

If Lan Zhan knew about Lu Sheng's question, Lan Zhan would probably want to kill Lu Sheng.

The existence of the Sword Mountain itself was to temper a swordsman's Sword Qi.

Thereby improving the quality of the Sword Qi.

And Lu Sheng's Hidden Dragon Sword Qi... looking at the entire Great Xia, it was the most top-tier Sword Qi, a hundred times the quality of ordinary Sword Qi!

Coupled with the existence of the Sword Demon Clan Sword Bone, although Lu Sheng had not completely refined the Sword Bone, after these few days of attrition, the power released from the Sword Bone was also gradually improving the quality of the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi.

So much so that... the tempering of the Sword Mountain on the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi even seemed insignificant.

Naturally, it couldn't bring any pressure to Lu Sheng.

But Lu Sheng was unaware of this.

After experiencing the Sword Qi on the first layer, Lu Sheng unhesitatingly walked towards the second layer.

However, upon reaching the second layer, although the Sword Qi became sharper, the sense of oppression Lu Sheng had expected still did not appear.

Lu Sheng continued to climb.

Third layer!

Fourth layer!

...Eighth layer!

All the way to the ninth layer!

When Lu Sheng's figure appeared on the ninth layer, finally, the Sword Qi on the ninth layer finally brought a hint of pressure to Lu Sheng.

But this pressure... Lu Sheng's body trembled slightly, and Hidden Dragon Sword Qi roared out from his Dantian.

In an instant, that subtle pressure immediately dissipated.

And with the dissipation of the pressure, the stone tower began to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, it turned into garbled data and slowly disappeared.

Lu Sheng's face showed a hint of innocence, and he looked suspiciously at the world before him.

Lu Sheng pursed his lips, looking at the shattered Sword Mountain world, a fact that Lu Sheng found somewhat mystical but had to admit was before him.

The fourth part of the training... seemed to have been passed??

Just like that??

Countless question marks appeared in Lu Sheng's mind.

How could this fourth part of the training be so easy?

Lu Sheng scratched the back of his head, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.

And in the Cultivation room, Lan Zhan looked at the image belonging to Lu Sheng, and a somewhat helpless expression appeared on his face.

"This guy... only the last Sword Mountain remains!"

Lan Zhan suddenly felt that the plan he had made for Lu Sheng might have been too simple.

It should be known that both the Sword Mountain and the Sword Pool were meant to temper a swordsman's Sword Qi, so that a swordsman could better comprehend Sword Intent!

Only by comprehending Sword Intent could one be considered to have embarked on the correct Dao of a swordsman.

It was just that... the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi that Lu Sheng had created in the Sword Pool was too Heaven-Defying, so much so that the tempering of the Sword Mountain had no effect on Lu Sheng.

"In that case, the tempering of this Sword Mountain won't be a problem for Lu Sheng either!"

Lan Zhan stroked his chin.

"It's only been less than ten days, he won't clear it directly, will he?"

Lan Zhan couldn't help but think so.

But as soon as this thought emerged, Lan Zhan couldn't help but shiver.

Clearing the first stage of training in ten days.

This speed... not to mention the history of Star Academy, Lan Zhan even estimated that such a ruthless character might not appear in the next hundred years.

"Forget it, if he clears it, he clears it. This guy is a Prodigy, and if I keep suppressing him, it will be detrimental to his growth!"

Lan Zhan shook his head and let out a bitter laugh... The Sword Mountain world gradually dissipated.

Around Lu Sheng, it was a vast expanse of white.

A moment later, other colors poured into this white world, as if an invisible painter was constantly sketching something in this white world with different colored inks.

A moment later, the world changed.

A mountain peak, like a sword blade, appeared before Lu Sheng.

The mountain peak pierced into the sky, as if it wanted to completely pierce through the entire firmament. White mist enveloped the mountain peak, as if draping a white veil over the entire mountain.

Lu Sheng gazed softly at the mountain peak before him, but he saw that many sword blades were actually stuck in the mountain peak.

"This... is Sword Mountain?"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, a curious expression appearing in his eyes.

Lu Sheng took a step, walking towards the mountain peak before him, stepping into this mountain peak that resembled a sword blade.

But as soon as Lu Sheng stepped onto the mountain peak, a dilapidated sword blade was horizontally stuck in front of him.

Perhaps sensing Lu Sheng's arrival, that dilapidated sword blade swayed gently, emitting a crisp sword cry.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!

The sword cries echoed, and the next moment, a blurry figure appeared before Lu Sheng.
