"Let me use the testing equipment, please."
Same old place—Hongchuan Martial Hall.
The pretty receptionist girl stared at Lu Sheng's face for a moment and smiled. "Back again, little brother? Is it midterm season already? You seem really obsessed with your grades."
It was clear now—even the receptionist recognized him.
Was he coming too often?
Lu Sheng paused for a second, then quickly realized.
Yeah… this was his third visit this month.
To him, it only felt natural to test after each significant improvement. But his rate of progress was abnormally fast.
For an average person, three tests a month was a lot.
Basically, he was testing himself every ten days or so.
Even the most performance-focused schools only tested once a month—the monthly exam.
After all, Vitality Index could fluctuate. Unless you measured it daily, frequent testing in a short time could actually be misleading.
Except in rare cases—those Martial Arts prodigies whose Vitality increased rapidly enough to show clear gains every few days.
"Heh… yeah."
Lu Sheng had no good response to the receptionist's teasing, so he just brushed it off.
He entered the familiar testing room and casually picked a machine.
Perfect—no one else was here. He'd have more room to operate.
"Let's test Vitality first."
This was what Lu Sheng cared about the most.
He took a blood sample and placed it into the blood testing slot.
Soon, with a soft chime, the machine displayed a number.
"15.632"
"It jumped that much?!"
Even Lu Sheng was shocked.
He had thought he might still be short of the Official Warrior standard—but this was way beyond the threshold.
Thinking it through, it made sense. He had martial arts knowledge from ten thousand years in the future and the most advanced supplements from that same era.
With those two buffs combined, it would actually be strange not to see such dramatic gains.
"Let's test Combat Power next!"
A glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes as he stepped up to the power testing device and threw a heavy punch.
"Normal state first."
Boom—!
With a deep thud, the screen lit up with a number:
"3137!"
That high?!
Lu Sheng was surprised.
Thanks to absorbing tons of combat techniques and experience, his Combat Power Rating (CPR) had always exceeded what his Vitality Index would suggest.
But this… this gap was huge.
Double the standard, at least!
He never saw that coming.
"Maybe it's because of my fist technique..."
After a moment of reflection, he found the answer.
His punching technique had broken through to a new realm recently—and he hadn't tested his combat power since.
It must be the new technique amplifying his output, causing his CPR to skyrocket.
"If that's the case, then my limit CPR might be much higher than I thought!"
Lu Sheng grew more excited. He decided to run another test.
This time, he would use the Starforce Focusing Technique…
Five minutes later, Lu Sheng walked out of the testing room.
His expression was calm, betraying nothing.
"All done, little brother? Happy with the results?"
The receptionist girl smiled and waved.
Lu Sheng gave a gentle smile in return. His handsome features had a fresh, breezy charm to them.
"Very satisfied."
The receptionist girl playfully winked. "Then good luck on your exams!"
"Thanks."
Lu Sheng waved and strode confidently out of the martial hall.
The receptionist girl watched his back with a grin and murmured, "Such a show-off… but he's got a nice smile."
"Who are you talking about?"
A voice suddenly came from behind, startling her.
She turned and immediately straightened up.
"Senior Ni!"
Ni Shuang was staring in the direction Lu Sheng had left, eyes flickering with interest.
She had spotted him leaving earlier—and recognized him as the "genius from a poor background" who had once piqued her curiosity.
"He just came to test?"
"Yeah, third time this month. I guess he's nervous about midterms..."
The receptionist replied seriously.
Ni Shuang casually said, "Which machine did he use? Take me to it."
She had some free time and was curious to see if Lu Sheng had improved.
"Yes, Senior Ni."
The receptionist quickly led Ni Shuang to the device Lu Sheng had used.
"He's the only one who used it today, so the data should be easy to pull up..."
As she spoke, she brought up the data logs.
Seconds later, Lu Sheng's test results popped onto the screen.
The moment they saw the numbers—
"Ah!"
The receptionist gasped, her pretty eyes going wide as she slapped a hand over her mouth.
Ni Shuang's face changed dramatically, shock and disbelief written all over her face. Her eyes were filled with utter incredulity, like she couldn't trust what she was seeing.
"Is this machine... broken?"
Her voice was hoarse.
The receptionist froze for several seconds before snapping out of it and blurting, "No way! It was just serviced yesterday!"
"Then that means..."
Ni Shuang took a deep breath, trying to calm the tsunami of emotions in her chest. Slowly, she spoke:
"This result... is real."
The receptionist nodded blankly, still in a daze.
Half a minute later, Ni Shuang's voice roared out from inside the testing room—loud enough to be heard all the way from the main lobby.
"Right now—go find that boy who just tested! Get everyone on it!
He comes here all the time, so he must live nearby. Someone around here is bound to know him!
Go, now!"
"Yes, Senior Ni!"
