Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 36 Must Surpass Everyone

"Qin Shi Huang was actually a pretty good person."

Because the Qin Empire was born in ancient China, almost all units were based on Earth's standards, which meant Lu Zhao didn't need to calculate how many Gs double gravity was.

However, although the Empire controls twelve star regions, most of them are vacant. After all, ordinary humans cannot survive in places with twice the gravity. Only those who cultivate martial arts and reach several levels can set foot there.

Therefore, the gravity levels of places like Guzhongzhou, where Lu Zhao's family lives, and most of the developed continents on planets are almost no different from those of Earth.

Soon, Xin Li began teaching.

Whether this guy did it on purpose or it was just his personality, he acted like a very rigid and cold-faced instructor. He gave the entire room double gravity and then started the class, completely ignoring the fact that everyone had to concentrate on listening to the lecture and also on mobilizing their energy to resist gravity.

"This knife, improved by designer Wang Zhao, has a blade length of 118 centimeters and a width of 3.3 centimeters. It is heavier at the front and lighter at the back, with the center of gravity at one-third of the blade length."

Lu Zhao suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Wang Zhao since boarding the ship. The veteran soldiers in the engineering area weren't allowed to enter, let alone the new recruits. He had just entered the Void Sea and seemed to be quite busy there, so he probably wouldn't have time to catch up.

After giving a brief introduction on how to hold and wield the knife, Xin Li began to explain its specific uses, that is, how to cut people.

"The basic uses of a standard-issue saber are mainly cutting, parrying, slashing, and wiping; it can also be used to stab, or thrust."

Swish swish.

He demonstrated several movements.

"A person of normal intelligence should not need much explanation. I will just say one thing: the standard-issue saber has a lighter weight and is designed for speed, mainly for thrusting and slashing."

Lu Zhao thought of the patrolling soldiers he had seen stabbing people in the military zone before; that was a stabbing.

"However, according to the methods of martial arts training, the weight of a knife can also be increased. If you can join a slightly more elite team, there will be craftsmen to help you adjust it. Let's learn the basic movements first."

"When chopping, you need to apply force from the base, where your hand is gripping the blade. There are many angles involved, and when it hits, the blade will have a 'saw' feel. If you smash downwards vertically, that's called a cleave. When cleaving, your arm should be straight, in a straight line with the blade..."

.....

An hour passed, and Xin Li had actually been demonstrating and explaining the theory the whole time.

After talking about knives, we'll talk about guns, and after guns, we'll talk about swords.

He never intended for anyone to practice; he was waiting.

puff.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

Once it happens, it happens again; some people who were gritting their teeth and enduring it all started to relax.

When one's vital energy is exhausted, one cannot resist double gravity, and the spine, lumbar vertebrae, knees, diaphragm, chest cavity, blood, body fluids, and internal organs will all be pulled.

An untrained person would likely faint after just a few minutes in such an environment. However, if one were to cultivate an Iron Body, it might be much better.

Xin Li, holding a large spear, said sarcastically, "I won't help. If you can't hold on, get out on your own. If you stay here, you'll die."

The already pale faces of the fallen men turned even paler, and they could only crawl and tumble away from the scene.

Lu Zhao was still holding on because his "Body Strengthening Method" extracted a lot of internal energy, so it could last longer. At this time, he still had about one-third of his internal energy left.

Beside him, Chen Qinhu was naturally even more formidable; his Chongxuan Technique was probably one of the few techniques that allowed him to withstand even greater pressure with his physical body.

Of course, most of the people here have already learned better cultivation methods than Xingzhifa from Ji Ye. However, on the one hand, they only started yesterday, and on the other hand, those cultivation methods are not necessarily more powerful than those taught by Zhou Changsheng.

About ten minutes later, more people started to leave. With the example set by the unlucky few before, everyone knew to leave a little earlier, at least so they wouldn't have to climb out.

Gradually, the number of people in the venue dwindled until only about ten remained.

Xu Shu, who mastered the Chisel-Gold Finger technique yesterday, is still here; Chen Tanhu is still here; Gongsun Ke and Shi Jian are still here; and I don't recognize the rest.

At this moment, Lu Zhao's energy was also running low. He glanced at these people and felt that their condition was not much better. After all, they had just started learning yesterday, and even the most skilled people could not create a significant gap between them.

Fortunately, at that moment, all the pressure vanished instantly, and the double gravity was turned off.

"call--"

The remaining manpower, including Lu Zhao, were mostly panting heavily.

In the final moments, in order to hold on a little longer, everyone unanimously chose to reduce the resistance of the force, essentially letting the force neutralize part of the double gravity and having the body bear the other part.

Now that the pressure has been suddenly removed, I suddenly feel an incredible sense of ease in breathing.

Lu Zhao didn't just focus on catching his breath. He first glanced at Xu Shu and saw that her face was a little pale and her chest was rising and falling slightly, but not as violently as the others. To be able to comprehend a special skill at the first level was indeed extraordinary.

Looking at Chen Qinhu again, his breathing was very labored, but his face was still bloodless, which showed that he had also exerted himself intensely, but his health bar was thick.

"Everyone else... is pretty much the same as me."

He remained calm until he saw Gongsun Ke.

Ok?

Who exactly is this person?

From the first time Lu Zhao met this person, he felt that he was somewhat unusual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Judging from their current performance, the other party probably has some unique qualities. They may be exceptionally talented like Xu Shu, or they may have received some mysterious training before enlisting, just like me.

"These are all very strong competitors."

All we know for now is that this group of people will be assigned to the regular troops a month and a half later, but we don't know the specific rules.

If the notification comes that there is only one spot available for a top-tier martial guard like the Qingming Guard, then it means that Lu Zhao must surpass all of them, including Chen Qinhu.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard a thud.

Shi Jian collapsed to the ground and fell into a coma.

Xin Li frowned, took two steps forward, and placed her hand on his pulse.

"That madman..."

He angrily called out to one of his men from behind, "Send him to Master Ji!"

The Qingming Guard picked up Shi Jian and darted out the door in a flash, leaving only a blur behind.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Can it be cured?"

It's obvious without even asking that he suffered internal injuries.

Xin Li finally broke down a bit, her previous coldness vanishing, replaced by a slightly embarrassed expression: "If it's Mr. Ji, there shouldn't be a problem. Are you very familiar with him? What's wrong with this guy? Does he really have to die here?"

Lu Zhao said helplessly, "That's just how he is. I'm not sure if he would jump into the Void Sea, but at least he's not afraid."

"....."

Xin Li was rendered speechless.

Lu Zhao secretly glanced at the person and noticed that the person also had a golden special effect on their head.

[Three-zhang Golden Body lv7]

Its level is higher than Zhou Changsheng's special skill.

That's understandable. After all, Xu Feng Chang Ji is a red-level special skill, which is a level higher in quality and is definitely more difficult to cultivate. Moreover, Zhou Changsheng probably started to relax after retiring and didn't practice martial arts much, so he stagnated.

"Ugh, this master is such a worry! Can't he be a little more ambitious?"

As for Xin Li's special skills, he doesn't plan to steal them for the time being. On the one hand, the level is too high, and it's unlikely that they will be useful even if stolen. On the other hand, these Qingming Guards have too many privileges, and he doesn't dare to provoke them casually. He can only spend a few days with them and see if he can get closer to them before observing the effects.
