Chapter 251: 170. Attaining sainthood in the flesh_2
Lu Tianrong finished speaking and then added, “Alright, no need to stand around, everyone, hurry up and select a weapon. Once you’ve chosen, we’ll start practicing the appropriate weapon usage.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to pick out weapons.
Lin Zichen glanced at the weapons around him and found that they were all melee cold weapons—swords, blades, spears, maces, and the like.
He didn’t really need these weapons, so he simply scanned them briefly without going up to choose one.
Firstly, he didn’t like to use weapons; he preferred smashing with his fists and kicking with his feet.
Secondly, the strength of level-B alloy wasn’t even as high as his body’s strength after completing body tempering thrice, so carrying them would only add unnecessary weight.
“Xiao Chen, what kind of weapon do you think suits me?”
Shen Qinghan had tried several weapons but couldn’t decide, so she sought Lin Zichen’s advice.
Lin Zichen spoke gently, “If you don’t have a particular preference for a type of weapon, then you should choose one with a larger attack range as much as possible.”
Shen Qinghan nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll look for a weapon with a large attack range.”
Having said that, she turned around again and, following Lin Zichen’s suggestion, began selecting a weapon with a large attack range.
After circling around for quite some time,
she eventually selected a two-meter-long spear.
This was one of the weapons with the largest attack range she could find in the weapon room.
Taking into account her arm span, she would have an attack distance of about two and a half meters.
Another weapon with an attack range as large as that of the spear was the massive Guan Dao cleaver.
But the Guan Dao was too heavy; she didn’t feel comfortable handling it.
Most importantly, she preferred the thrusting action over the chopping motion.
At the same time,
everyone else had also chosen their weapons.
Li Moyu, who favored strength, picked a mace covered in sharp spikes.
Ma Xiwei, leaning towards agility, chose a pair of light dual swords.
Luo Yongjian didn’t choose; he already had his own sword made of level-B alloy, so there was no need to select from these weapons.
“Instructor, are there no firearms?” Zhang Kai looked at Lu Tianrong and asked.
As a mechanically modified human, he had no interest in the cold weapons here, finding them too primitive.
Lu Tianrong replied, “There are only cold weapons.”
After speaking, he added another sentence, “This special training is designed to boost your fighting capability in Origin Land, and in that place, due to various restrictions, it’s impossible to use firearms; one can only use cold weapons, which is why we specifically train you in the use of cold weapons.”
Zhang Kai said, “But I am a mechanically modified human; I won’t have the chance to go to Origin Land, so I won’t need cold weapons.”
Lu Tianrong was dismissive, “Cold weapons are also very necessary on Earth. When your ammo runs out and the enemy hasn’t been wiped out, a cold weapon is the only choice you have.”
After hearing this, Zhang Kai didn’t speak up again and obediently went to select a weapon.
By now, he had realized that Ji Shen Group was just there to accompany the prince in his study, serving as practice partners for the Genetic Integrators.
This so-called military special training was specifically organized for Genetic Integrators.
As for Lin Zichen, who walked the Pureblood Human Path, he was an exception.
Looking at past years, the strength of freshmen following the Pureblood Human Path was very weak, and they didn’t qualify to attend the military special training.
However, Lin Zichen’s strength surpassed that of Genetic Integrators his age, which gave him the eligibility to represent Shan University here.
If Lin Zichen could indeed break the shackles of ordinary organisms with his pure blood human body, he would also shine and stand out among the talented Genetic Integrators in Origin Land in the future.
“Has everyone chosen their weapons?”
Lu Tianrong, who had been playing with his phone, saw that the time was about right and looked up to ask everyone.
People responded sporadically, saying they had chosen.
Seeing this, Lu Tianrong asked everyone to gather under the martial stage.
In the center of the weapon room, there was a standard large martial stage for those who had chosen their weapons to go up, spar, and test if the weapons suited them.
Soon, everyone had gathered under the martial stage.
Lu Tianrong, noticing that Lin Zichen was empty-handed, couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Zichen, where is your weapon?”
Lin Zichen replied, “Report, Instructor, I am used to fighting bare-handed; I don’t need a weapon.”
Lu Tianrong responded, “A weapon can greatly enhance your combat power. Choose one anyway.”
Lin Zichen replied, “No need, Instructor.”
Lu Tianrong frowned slightly, feeling that this genius from Shan University was a bit too arrogant.
Probably the success of the entry assessment had gone to his head.
Such self-confident geniuses weren’t unheard of in the past; they just needed to be put in their place…
Thinking this, Lu Tianrong said to everyone, “Since everyone has chosen their weapons, let’s start familiarizing yourselves with them.”
“The best way to familiarize yourself is to spar with others on the martial stage.”
As he said this, Lu Tianrong looked at Lin Zichen with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Lin Zichen, you said you’re accustomed to fighting bare-handed—I’m quite curious about that. So, you go up to the martial stage first and let everyone see your strength.”
“Fine.”
Lin Zichen answered succinctly.
Having said that, he leaped onto the martial stage with a single bound and waited for others to challenge him.
Lu Tianrong said to the others, “Those who want to challenge Lin Zichen can come up on their own.”
“I’m up!”
As soon as the voice fell, a dark figure leapt onto the martial stage below.
It was the genius from the military zone—Zhao Yuanzhong.
Zhao Yuanzhong, holding a machete with eyes full of fighting spirit, said, “Lin Zichen, are you ready?”
Lin Zichen: “Bring it on.”
The moment his voice dropped, Zhao Yuanzhong’s calves exploded with power, his figure flashed, and he rushed in front of him instantly, slashing at his chest with the knife.
This slash carried an extremely fierce force.
The sharp blade, rubbing through the air, produced a tearing sound.
If hit, it would result in either death or severe injury.
Faced with such a terrifying slash, Lin Zichen showed no intention of dodging.
Instead, just as the blade was about to fall, he calmly reached up and grabbed it!
Catching the blade with his bare hands!
Challenging the iron-cutting blade with his flesh and blood body!
Then, with a sudden forceful squeeze!
“Crack!”
Accompanied by a sound of shattering.
The large machete, made of B-grade alloy, was instantly covered with startling cracks on the blade.
Then, under the incredulous gazes of the crowd below, it instantly broke into pieces and scattered on the ground.
“Holy shit, what’s happening?”
“To crush a machete made of B-grade alloy with bare hands, is this guy even human?”
“This strength is insane!”
“It’s really too exaggerated, is this what they call ‘having a saintly body’ in the legends?”
Everyone below the stage was shocked, exclaiming one after another.
As for his opponent, Zhao Yuanzhong, he was so stunned that he felt numb all over.
Numb mentally and physically.
How could he be so strong?!
On the other side.
Lu Tianrong glanced at the unharmed Lin Zichen on the stage and then at the pile of broken blade pieces at his feet, feeling an overwhelming sense of shock.
At this moment, he finally realized that it wasn’t that Lin Zichen was overconfident, but that he had underestimated Lin Zichen, as well as the physical enhancement of the Pureblood Human Path.
“Zhao, come down, let me go up and learn from him!”
Liu Ruihe, also a genius of the military zone, called out to Zhao Yuanzhong on the stage.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhong kicked away the broken blade pieces in front of him and immediately jumped off the martial stage to swap with Liu Ruihe.
Liu Ruihe leapt from the crowd and landed with a heavy “thud” on the stage.
He held a heavy mace in his hand and asked Lin Zichen, “Ready?”
Lin Zichen: “Bring it on.”
Liu Ruihe wasted no words, took an arrow step forward, and in the blink of an eye rushed in front of Lin Zichen, swinging the mace down at him fiercely.
“Dang!”
A clear sound rang out.
Lin Zichen punched out, meeting the descending mace head-on.
Under the impact of the mace, Lin Zichen’s fist remained unscathed.
On the contrary, Liu Ruihe, holding the mace, had his wrists split open, bleeding profusely.
At the same time, again came “crack” sounds.
The mace, several times more durable than the large machete, also showed countless cracks and broke into pieces, falling onto the martial stage.
Such a powerful body… Liu Ruihe looked at the broken mace pieces at his feet, his face filled with shock.
“Bro He, come down and let me have a go!”
Another military zone genius wanted to challenge Lin Zichen.
Liu Ruihe said nothing, stepped down with the broken mace pieces in tow.
Just as that military zone genius was about to step onto the stage.
The instructor, Lu Tianrong, couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly spoke up to stop them:
“Enough, no more challenges; none of the weapons here can harm Lin Zichen in the slightest. If you keep breaking more weapons, my days as an instructor are over today.”
Looking at the broken machete pieces and mace chunks on the ground, Lu Tianrong felt completely numb.
The weapons made of B-grade alloy, each worth more than a million.
In just the blink of an eye, two were damaged.
If this continued, he would definitely be held responsible by the leadership.
