Chapter 572






"Are you the one Iron Tower is looking for?" Lu Sheng guessed with a frown .

"I don't know," the girl replied casually . She combed her hair with her free hand, and inserted it into her pocket .

"If you're not coming, the door's going to close . " She removed her index finger from the open button .

"Let it . " Lu Sheng's tone was cold .

The elevator's doors slowly closed .

The girl leaned back on the metal board . Her head was angled upward as if she was resting .

Through the slit between the elevator doors, Lu Sheng caught a glimpse of the shining dark gold ring on her finger . It seemed to be the Core Ring one used to control armors .

These rings enabled the controller to have their armor follow them around at a distance . Usually, only those with Authenticated Armors would wear it .

It was apparent that this girl brought a real armor with her .

He had wanted to enter the elevator . However, when he was about to move forward, he suddenly smelled blood . It was very similar to the scent he picked up on the rooftop .

Also, the girl was giving off a faint yet peculiar threatening aura .

'As expected, this world is slightly dangerous . ' As he stood outside the elevator, Lu Sheng decided to get his hands on his own Authenticated Armor as soon as possible .

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have sufficient means to protect himself . He had no intention of being forced to unleash his main body so soon after his Arrival and be deported by the World's laws .

'I'll raise my Harmonizing Power to the limits tonight . Then, I'll find a way to earn income and buy my own armor . '

Both Iron Tower and the eye-patch girl seemed to have powerful Harmonizing Power compared to him . Iron Tower was only slightly more powerful than he was, but the girl was much stronger .

The key was that without an Authenticated Armor, his only means of combat was his own body . That would definitely not be an advantageous situation for him .

Lu Sheng waited for a short while in front of the elevator . Then, he turned around and went down the stairs .

When he returned to his own room and closed his door, he heard Iron Tower coming down the stairs and entering his own room .

The heavy slam of his door clearly demonstrated the fury Iron Tower was feeling .

Lu Sheng removed his jacket and went to take a shower in the shower room . After wearing a fresh set of clothes, he lay down on his bed and relaxed his body .





"Deep Blue . "

The light blue frame appeared and hovered before him .

Lu Sheng pushed the modify button with familiar movements .

"Improve Iron Man's Three Gears . "

The frame immediately flashed and quickly blurred .

After a few days of adjustments, Lu Sheng's Weapon Grandmaster spirit had healed all the hidden injuries of this body . The seal on his Yang Essence's healing powers was also loosened somewhat . With it, he made up for the various shortcomings of this body .


Now, his constitution was no longer as weak as four days ago .

After a few days of training, he had built an extremely firm foundation for this body .

The reason why Lu Sheng waited for a few days before continuing improving himself was to prevent his foundations from crumbling .

Although he could improve his Harmonizing Power to a high level in a short time, it was not in line with his original plans .

What he wanted was not a simple and crude improvement; he wanted firm, steady steps of improvement .

His Harmonizing Power quickly reached Average Level Four from Average Level Three . His Iron Man's Three Gears had also reached the second gear, level four .

Lu Sheng felt his own body . This time, it did not seem to be under any pressure . It was clear that Jorin's constitution had been too weak before, impeding his improvements .

Even though it felt extremely easy, he still chose to improve his levels stepwise . He wanted to prevent this body from becoming unable to adapt with it if he improved too quickly .

In truth, he could choose to raise his status by two or three levels at a time . However, Lu Sheng's preference for stability made him chose the safer way .

'I can't be too rash . Let's take one step at a time . ' Lu Sheng stared at the frame that blurred again .

The frame quickly clarified again .

"Iron Man's Three Gears, second gear, level five . " His Harmonizing Power was also raised . It was now Average Level Five .

What followed was a series of easy breakthroughs . He reached the third gear, level one, while his Harmonizing Power reached Excellent Level One .





The Excellent rank was the limit which the elites could reach . The usual tests categorized Harmonizing Powers at the Excellent rank as the human body's limit .

In this alone, Lu Sheng had surpassed 99% of the academy's students . His Harmonizing Power was already at an extremely high level .

He reckoned that the Harmonizing Power of the female student he met in the elevator was also at the rank of Excellent Level One .

Excellent Level One and Two were already the limit of what a human body could achieve . The Levels Three to Five after this were more of a theoretical concept .

However, a Harmonizing Power at this level was already sufficient . Even if he grew stronger and his Harmonizing Power was raised higher, effectively enabling him to master thicker armors, there was a limit to a person's strength . He would not be able to carry too heavy a burden . Hence, the rank of Excellent Level One was the most reasonable status to be in .

Lu Sheng felt his own condition at the moment . His body never felt better . He was filled with vigor, and his strength had improved steadily .

"It seems that my body is getting used to this well . Let's continue . "


"Iron Man's Three Gears, third gear, level two . "

"Iron Man's Three Gears, third gear, level three . "

"Iron Man's Three Gears, third gear, level four . "







"Iron Man's Three Gears, 1326th gear, level two . "

"Iron Man's Three Gears, 1326th gear, level three . "

Lu Sheng lay on his bed . He felt that his Harmonizing Power had spread to a kilometer by now .

'This should be enough for now . ' He slowly stopped investing in his Harmonizing Power . At this stage, all he had to do was to derive and strengthen himself according to the Iron Man's Three Gears' method . He had spent 1,000 Mental Energy units and got good results .

However, the improvement in Harmonizing Power would only translate to having a greater ability to refine his senses of his surroundings while he donned his armor . There were no other substantial changes . This made Lu Sheng feel slightly disappointed .

'Now, it's time for me to search for a suitable armor . ' He stood up from the bed and looked at the skies outside the window .

His powerful Harmonizing Power's range gave him extremely sharp senses in a one-kilometer-radius . The sounds of insects, the wind, the breathing and turning sounds of the sleeping students, the churn of flowing water, even the vibrations of a mosquito's wings far away reached his ears .





'This Harmonizing Power is like purely sensory power . However, this also increases my reaction speed, making me nimbler .

'Well then, it's time for me to think of a way to obtain a good Authenticated Armor . ' Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on his bed . His mind-blowingly expansive Harmonizing Power was like a formless tendril . With him as the center, it slowly swam and rocked outward in an area of a kilometer .

Every movement in this area was reflected in his heart .

After lying down for a while, his expression suddenly had a slight change . He slowly got up .

Trained in martial arts, this move was a piece of cake for him . However, his posture did not seem too balanced .

'This body is lagging behind the control of my will . Perhaps the duration of training is too short . I should train in two pure combat techniques . '

Lu Sheng did a quick search in his memories . He found the most suitable combat method for himself in no time .

"Fickle 1008 Plum-folding Hands . "

He had seen this pure physical art in the Scarlet Whale Sect's storeroom, and had committed it to his memory .

However, it was purely a technique-based skill formula and also a pure physical art, hence Lu Sheng's dislike for it . That was why he'd merely treated it as a way to increase his own knowledge of the martial arts when he memorized it .

He never would have thought that it would come in handy now .

With a thought, Lu Sheng immediately saw a new frame appearing on Deep Blue's interface .

"Fickle 1008 Plum-folding Hand . Uninitiated (Five levels in total) . "

'With my current body's quality, I should be able to raise my status to Full-mastery in one go . ' Lu Sheng gave it some thought and stared at the frame of this physical art .

"Raise Fickle 1008 Plum-folding Hand by five levels . "

The frame blurred . A few seconds later, it regained clarity again . This process was repeated five times .

Lu Sheng felt two units of Mental Energy disappear from his main body, merging with this body .

Then, his arms, shoulders, chest, back, and the rest of his body slowly heated up . His body temperature seemed to be rising steadily .

He quickly directed the flow of his Yang Essence to these parts of his body . This was in preparation to heal any parts of his body that would be damaged due to the swift improvements .

This sensation lasted for a dozen minutes before slowing down and coming to a stop .

With the light in his room, Lu Sheng raised his hands and tore a thin layer of semi-transparent skin from the surface of his body .

After shedding the skin, his arms became translucent as jade, slender and soft . The lines of his muscles could not be seen . His arms were more perfect than a lady's .

"Not bad . " Lu Sheng clenched his fists with satisfaction . He felt that his upper body was able to keep up with the operation of his Harmonizing Power already .

He swiftly got to his feet and wore his jacket . Then, he went out the door .

It was in the dead of night, and the corridor was deserted . The air was cold with a slight, chilly breeze .

Lu Sheng closed his eyes . He quickly locked onto the location of his target . Then, he started going down the stairs .

He entered the elevator, taking care to avoid the surveillance cameras, and walked out of the dormitory building along the blind spots .

A biting cold wind blew outside the building . Silhouettes of the trees swayed and rustled in the air .

He kept moving forward along the shadow between the buildings . With his Harmonizing Power's senses, he could even pick up the buzz of electricity of the cameras . Thus, Lu Sheng avoided the surveillance cameras easily enough .

He had raised his Harmonizing Power to a mind-blowing state . He deserved the title of a monster in this world .

He walked past the living quarters and the cafeteria . He quickly closed on to the basketball court near the teaching blocks . He saw a middle-aged man with short white hair standing by the wire fence . His hands were on the fence as he peered through it .

A brown-haired girl knelt by his feet . The girl was pressing on her abdomen, while blood flowed continuously out of her mouth .

The two of them seemed to be having some sort of conversation . However, they were mainly speaking in some dialect . Lu Sheng could not understand them .

Lu Sheng stood in the shadows . He looked on silently as the girl struggled to speak her final words . The girl's body eventually grew cold as all life evaporated from her .

The white-haired man turned to look at the girl . He remained motionless for a long while .

She was his eldest daughter . She was also a sad girl that had vowed to kill him . Among his 50 children, he had the highest hopes for this daughter of his . Alas, she was a disappointment in the end .

"You've lost to love and friendship . In mere three years, you've fallen to this lowly state . What a shame…" He stroked his daughter's long hair .

"You've forgotten that emotions are the greatest hindrance for our tribe . After having emotions, your blade is no longer as sharp as it once was…"

He was the third best assassin of the Bai Family, a tribe of assassins . He was also the top Starlight assassin of the world . When he discovered that his daughter had sunk into love, he decided to deal with her as the family would have .

"An assassin should not have love… We can only possess extreme skills after giving up on everything else . That's the only way… not to be completely engulfed by the eternal darkness…" A hint of deep sadness flashed across Bai Shi's eyes .
