Of course, Lu Sheng's ambitions were not limited to this.
The standard Vitality Index for a First-Level Official Warrior is 1.5, and the Combat Power Rating (CPR) standard is 150.
Lu Sheng's goal was to become a formally recognized First-Level Warrior by the Martial Alliance before the college entrance exams, or even higher.
"The benefits of being an Official Warrior are incredible. Even if I do nothing each month, I can still collect thousands in allowances from the Martial Alliance.
Many high-paying jobs have First-Level Warrior certification as their minimum requirement.
If I reach First-Level Warrior status before the exams, I'll have a real shot at entering a prestigious Martial University.
After a few years of further study, whether I choose to teach at a martial hall or apply to become an officer, the future is wide open..."
At this moment, Lu Sheng deeply felt how bright his future was.
And all of this was thanks to the dream he had a few hours earlier.
After the test, Lu Sheng paid the 100 yuan testing fee and quickly returned home.
He couldn't wait to enter the dream again for another exploration.
...
"Damn, I can't believe I'm sleepless?!"
Lu Sheng sat up in bed helplessly, scratching his head with frustration.
Maybe it was because he had eaten too much for dinner or the increase in his Vitality Index, but his mental state was surprisingly good. His mind was clear, and there was no hint of sleepiness.
"It's only seven o'clock; it's too early to go to bed. Forget it, I'll do some exercise first. Once my body gets tired, sleep will come naturally..."
Lu Sheng checked the time and decided to do a bit of pre-sleep exercise.
The exercise was, of course, his so-called Thirteenth Set of Brast Calisthenics—The 24 Body Tempering Forms.
"Perfect timing, my Vitality Index surged; I need to consolidate it..."
Scientific research shows that the human Vitality Index is not constant; it has peak and valley values.
When you engage in intense exercise or take supplements, your Vitality Index temporarily peaks.
But when you rest or are sick or injured, your Vitality Index drops to its lowest.
So, martial artists usually need to engage in high-intensity training after supplementation to ensure the permanent increase of their Vitality Index, maximizing the effect of supplementation. This is common knowledge.
Lu Sheng's Vitality Index had surged by 0.18 today, so the corresponding exercise was inevitable.
"First form..."
Lu Sheng began his evening practice of the Body Tempering 24 Forms on the yoga mat, a routine he had done countless times.
But not long into the practice, he felt something was off.
"Something's wrong... why am I doing this move?"
Lu Sheng suddenly stopped, his expression strange.
The Thirteenth Version of the Body Tempering 24 Forms had been practiced by him since childhood, for about seven or eight years. It had almost become second nature to him, and he could perform the movements even with his eyes closed.
While it wasn't perfect, he was confident that there wouldn't be any mistakes.
But just now, he clearly felt that he had subconsciously performed a completely different set of movements.
And this set of movements was something he had never learned before.
"I get it..."
Lu Sheng quickly realized what the problem was.
He had absorbed the martial memories of two zombie-like beings in full-body suits. Along with their battle techniques and experiences, he had also inherited their cultivation memories.
What he had just practiced was the BodyTemperingArt they had repeatedly practiced before their death!
"The BodyTemperingArt of those full-body suit zombies is completely different from the one I practice!"
With curiosity, Lu Sheng decided to follow the BodyTemperingArts from the zombies' memories.
"There are a lot more movements than in the set I practice—over two hundred moves!"
"Some of these moves look difficult, but since I've inherited their memories, it's like I've practiced them countless times. It's not too hard to do them..."
"As for the effect..."
"Sss—"
When Lu Sheng performed one of the moves, he felt a tingling sensation in his body, like an electric shock.
It was an incredibly strange feeling, like a hot current flowing through his body, so comfortable that he almost moaned.
"This feeling... it's only happened once before, back when I first tried practicing the Body Tempering 24 Forms... After so many years, this is the second time!"
Lu Sheng felt like he had discovered a new world.
He focused on practicing this new BodyTemperingArt.
If there had been another person in the room, they would have seen Lu Sheng's body twisting into strange and peculiar movements.
These movements, when linked together, had a surprisingly harmonious beauty.
Throughout the process, Lu Sheng's body kept trembling slightly.
His body temperature was rising, and a large amount of white vapor was rising from his skin. Sweat poured down, almost soaking the yoga mat beneath him.
"Whoo—"
Finally, Lu Sheng completed the last movement.
He collapsed onto the yoga mat, feeling completely drained, but his state had never been better. It felt like he had just undergone an in-depth massage from the inside out, and he could almost hear his muscle cells celebrating.
"Gurgle, gurgle—"
A strong hunger pang hit Lu Sheng's brain.
"I just ate dinner a few hours ago, didn't I?"
Lu Sheng felt incredulous.
His empty stomach kept reminding him that his body urgently needed a large amount of energy.
And the only thing that could have caused this...
Lu Sheng's Vitality Index had increased again!
"Incredible!"
Lu Sheng's face was filled with amazement.
He had only practiced the BodyTemperingArt once, and his Vitality Index had increased again.
If word of this spread, he might immediately be recognized as a martial genius!
