At this moment, Lu Xiaobai stopped talking and began to focus entirely on his physical training.
For this mission, apart from completing five times the normal training volume, he also needed to finish it within six hours. He didn't have much time to waste...
An hour later,
Huff, puff—
Both Lu Xiaobai and Yu Wei were panting heavily. It was obvious that their physical strength was failing and they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
And right now, they had only just completed their usual daily training volume...
Strange, this doesn't look like he's hiding his true strength.
Nangong Ling crossed her arms over her chest, her attention fixed on Lu Xiaobai.
Her sharp eyes could tell at a glance that his panting wasn't an act; his stamina was genuinely on the verge of exhaustion.
Given his current state, if he wanted to complete three times the training volume, he would have to break past his limits!
Brother Lu, can you really do this?
Yu Wei also noticed Lu Xiaobai's condition and whispered,
If it's really too much, let's just swallow our pride and apologize to the Great Demon King...
Swallow our pride?
Lu Xiaobai's face was slightly pale, but he said with a smile,
Xiaowei, I'm a member of the Lu family. Don't you know what our family does?
Who doesn't know that? The founders of the Elixir of Immortality Group...
As soon as his voice fell, his expression suddenly jolted as he remembered something.
Brother Lu, you...
Hehe!
Lu Xiaobai let out a slightly sleazy laugh, then instantly pulled out a vial of red liquid from his jacket and gulped it down.
In an instant,
His face was no longer pale but quickly became rosy. The stamina that was nearly depleted recovered in the blink of an eye.
This was the Lu family's Physical Recovery Potion!
I truly am a genius!
Lu Xiaobai felt brimming with energy, his condition better than ever before.
For ordinary people, completing this two-star mission would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. But he, Lu Xiaobai, wasn't cast from a commoner's mold; he was a bona fide pay-to-win player!
At this moment,
Yu Wei looked at the energetic Lu Xiaobai and instantly understood.
No, Brother Lu, how am I supposed to learn this...
He thought of what the other had said earlier, watch closely and learn well. How could anyone possibly learn this...
Popping potions?
In the distance, Nangong Ling also witnessed this scene. Her mouth fell slightly open, a trace of dumbfoundment in her eyes.
Is this the so-called foundation of the Lu family you were talking about?
But then again, considering the Lu family was in the medicine business, this stuff really was their foundation...
At the same time,
The students who had already completed their physical training also looked over one after another.
Some were bewildered, some were envious, and others secretly cursed him for wasting good stuff.
The Physical Recovery Potion was a combat-type potion, so its price was naturally quite steep. Just that one vial he drank had a market retail price of five thousand Alliance Coins!
For most high school seniors, the martial star resources they consumed in a month were probably only worth this much.
It should be known that they only received such significant financial support from their families because they had entered the sprint phase for the Star Exam. If they were freshmen or sophomores, five thousand Alliance Coins would be enough to support their expenses for an entire semester!
Soon,
Restored to his peak condition, Lu Xiaobai completed twice his usual daily training volume. But for him, the training process wasn't even halfway done!
Sorry everyone, I really didn't mean to provoke you...
Lu Xiaobai noticed the gazes of the onlookers and silently said in his heart.
The next second,
He once again pulled out a Physical Recovery Potion from his jacket and gulped it down in one breath.
In an instant, he was fully resurrected with full health!
Watching this scene, the corners of everyone's eyes twitched. They felt their hearts bleeding; there goes another five thousand Alliance Coins...
He really wasn't acting like a human being at all...
Brother, dear brother, how about we help you train? Stop wasting things, it hurts us to watch!
Someone couldn't help but speak up.
Even though the potions weren't theirs, this reckless waste of God's gifts was truly too much for them to bear...
Lu Xiaobai, however, ignored them.
If he could hire someone to complete this mission for him, he would have done it long ago...
Soon,
Lu Xiaobai gulped down two more potions and successfully completed the three times training volume requested by Nangong Ling.
Everyone thought he would stop, but to their surprise, he popped another potion and continued training.
You're still going?
Nangong Ling's expression was a bit complicated, her gaze looking at him as if he were a psychopath...
This was just a routine physical training session. Was it really necessary to go this far? Did he really have too much money to burn?
Lu Xiaobai said with a look of determination,
Teacher, I don't feel like I've reached my limit yet. Let me continue!
How the hell are you going to reach your limit like this?
Nangong Ling's forehead was covered in dark lines as she directly cursed out loud.
With his method of popping potions, even if he did ten or a hundred times the training volume, it would be impossible for him to touch his so-called limit.
Alright, stop!
Nangong Ling frowned slightly and said softly,
You have already completed the training task I assigned very well.
She even somewhat suspected that the three times training volume she had set was too excessive, which was why it had stimulated his mind to the point of abnormality...
No way!
Lu Xiaobai directly refused.
What a joke, he had already popped so many potions. If he didn't finish the rest of the training, wouldn't he be suffering a massive loss...
Lu Xiaobai, what exactly are you trying to do?!
Nangong Ling put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at him.
Teacher, don't get excited...
Worried that she would forcefully step forward to stop him, Lu Xiaobai hurriedly explained,
Three times the training volume is only the limit for ordinary people. But I am a member of the Lu family, I must complete at least five times the training volume no matter what!
I must protect the face of my Lu family!
Is this how you protect it?
Nangong Ling was going a little crazy.
Was this guy really a member of the Lu family? Why did it feel like he was specifically trying to smear the Lu family's name...
She completely couldn't understand Lu Xiaobai anymore...
My Lu family is in the medicine business, so of course I use medicine to protect it. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
...
For a moment, Nangong Ling surprisingly found no way to retort.
Teacher, classmates, you don't need to mind me. Just go about your own business.
Lu Xiaobai still didn't stop.
To others, this was purely a meaningless squandering of wealth, but to him, as long as he completed this mission, he could earn Starry Sky Points to upgrade his star skills!
And all he had to pay were just a few bottles of Physical Recovery Potion...
This was an absolutely worthwhile deal!
You wicked spendthrift!
Nangong Ling could only silently complain in her heart, but she really had no reason to stop him. After all, the content of today's martial star class was physical training in the first place.
At this moment, she glanced over and saw the melancholy expressions on the other students' faces. She instantly knew that the impact of this scene on them was too great.
Alright, everyone, ignore this guy. Let's continue with the class!
Nangong Ling hurriedly spoke up.
"Since we happen to have enough time today, I will demonstrate a new Star Skill to everyone. It is called Basic Fist Technique!"
"This might not be of much help for your Star Exam, but it is still a combat Star Skill, and you will all have to learn it eventually..."
With that said, she began to demonstrate the Basic Fist Technique!
In truth, she had no obligation to teach this Star Skill, as it was not part of the middle school curriculum. However, she was worried that everyone's Dao heart would shatter due to Lu Xiaobai's prodigal behavior, so she had no choice but to forcefully divert their attention...
Sure enough, as soon as the crowd heard there was a new Star Skill, they stopped paying attention to Lu Xiaobai and began to focus entirely on learning.
