Chapter 30: The Chief Instructor's Attitude
Editor: Atlas Studios
-
Su Hei, who had left the war drums training ground, was about to return to his dormitory.
At this moment, Fang Dongjin called out to Su Hei.
"Leader Su, please come with me. The chief instructor wants to see you."
"My results earlier must have reached the chief instructor," thought Su Hei.
Su Hei was not surprised.
With his performance just now, it would be strange if the chief instructor did not look for him.
Very soon.
Su Hei followed Fang Dongjin to an office.
He knocked on the door, and Sikou Nanbo's voice came from inside. "Come in."
Su Hei pushed the door open and walked in.
He saw Sikou Nanbo sitting behind his desk. He had an expressionless look as usual.
"Leader Su, I saw your performance just now."
Sikou Nanbo went straight to the point.
"To tell you the truth, I'm shocked."
"A child your age can already be considered an outstanding talent if you're able to become an intermediate-level or even advanced-level martial artist."
"Those who have reached the Perfected Realm like the other team leaders can be called peerless geniuses."
"But I never thought that someone like you, who has such monstrous talent, would appear."
"It's no exaggeration to say that in the thousand-year history after martial artists emerged, there are only a handful of people who can compare to you."
Sikou Nanbo was generous with his praises, making Su Hei feel a little embarrassed.
Nevertheless, he did not dodge Sikou Nanbo's compliments.
"You're too kind, Chief Instructor," Su Hei replied politely.
"No. Everything that I've said is the truth. It's not an exaggeration at all."
Sikou Nanbo waved his hand dismissively and stood up with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Not only are you the hope of the Quilton base, but you might also even be the hope of the entire human race!"
"I, Sikou Nanbo, have been the chief instructor of the City Defense Team for more than twenty years. I've taught tens of thousands of qualified martial artists or even more. I think I'm an outstanding instructor, but regarding you…" His voice trailed off.
At this point, Sikou Nanbo looked at Su Hei meaningfully.
"I don't think I have anything to teach you. In addition, I don't dare to teach you."
"Therefore, from today onward, you don't have to participate in daily training anymore. Moreover, as long as Quilton base has the resources you need, we will supply you with those resources unconditionally. If Quilton doesn't have them, I will think of a way to get them for you."
As soon as he said that, Fang Dongjin—who was standing at the door—was shocked.
Since the establishment of the Quilton Base City Defense Team, no one had ever gotten such treatment.
It was unprecedented and enviable!
"Thank you, Chief Instructor!" Su Hei replied politely.
He had a calm expression.
However, mentally, a surge of unexplainable emotion caught him by surprise.
The City Defense Team would provide him with anything he wanted!
Su Hei was very satisfied with the preferential treatment he was receiving.
When Sikou Nanbo saw how composed Su Hei was, he got a better understanding of the latter's personality.
"This kid is calm and not conceited. He's won't be far from achieving greatness!"
With this thought in mind, Sikou Nanbo spoke once more.
"I've given you the privilege, but you have to promise me that as long as you still have strength, you won't give up on the tens of millions of people in the Quilton Base!"
Quilton was where he was born and raised. Sikou Nanbo had lived here for most of his life. Everything that he did was for the sake of protecting the Quilton base and the people of Quilton.
This was his only request for Su Hei.
"Don't worry, I will." Su Hei nodded.
Actually, Su Hei would have done the same even if Sikou Nanbo did not say that.
He and Senior Class One had transmigrated here, and they had not been ill-treated by the Quilton base.
He already held some feelings for this land.
However, since Sikou Nanbo had made such a request, he would go with the flow and do this favor for him.
"On behalf of the millions of people of the Quilton Base, I thank you in advance!"
Sikou Nanbo smiled in relief.
It was the first time Su Hei had seen the serious man smile.
Following that, Sikou Nanbo waved his hand.
Fang Dongjin understood Sikou Nanbo's order. He walked over to Sikou Nanbo's bookcase and moved the position of a book.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound filled the room. It sounded like gears were turning or grinding.
Right on the heels of that, the walls shifted to the sides, revealing a secret chamber.
Seeing that Fang Dongjin stood there unmoving, Sikou Nanbo frowned. "What are you waiting for? Take it out."
"But… I can't lift this." Fang Dongjin smiled awkwardly.
Of the three people in this room, he was the weakest.
Sikou Nanbo was stunned and helplessly walked into the secret chamber.
Everyone in the City Defense Team knew that Fang Dongjin was a martial artist in the Perfected Realm.
Su Hei was aware of that too. In addition, he knew that in the City Defense Team, there were hundreds if not thousands of martial artists who were also in the Perfected Realm. Someone who could become an instructor was definitely the strongest one among them.
Fang Dongjin's combat power was around 70,000 to 90,000.
Something that even he could not lift must be an extraordinary item.
Just as he was feeling curious, Sikou Nanbo walked out with a special black box.
"This is the most technologically advanced invention in the Zosteylor Base Alliance. You can adjust the gravity force for this training suit. It weighs 100,000 pounds, and it can be adjusted up to 10 times heavier, which is a million pounds."
One million pounds! It was a hefty 500 tons!
A training suit could actually be that heavy!
It was no doubt the most advanced technology. It would even benefit advanced-level Grandmasters.
"Thank you, Chief Instructor!" Su Hei replied politely.
Su Hei smiled.
A 10,000-pound training suit was not effective on him anymore.
This training suit that weighed a million pounds came at the right time.
"You don't have to be so polite."
Sikou Nanbo waved his hands.
"Take it and leave. Don't neglect your training. No matter how gifted you are, you still have to rely on daily training to improve. Otherwise, your martial art realm might regress," advised Sikou Nanbo.
"I understand!" Su Hei nodded.
Without another word, he picked up his training suit and left the office.
During their entire conversation, no one asked Su Hei which realm he was in currently.
The three of them were aware that Su Hei was a Grandmaster.
Watching Su Hei leave, Fang Dongjin closed the door.
"Chief Instructor, how much gravity weight do you think Su Hei can withstand?" he asked.
Sikou Nanbo thought for a moment.
"In the beginning, it will probably only be 100,000 pounds. In a month, Su Hei will be able to withstand 200,000 pounds of gravity. In three months, that number will increase to 300,000 pounds. After half a year, he'll be able to withstand 400,000 pounds. I estimate that he should be able to withstand one million pounds of gravity within two years," he replied.
"Two years?" exclaimed Fang Dongjin.
He was dumbfounded.
This meant that Su Hei would become an advanced-level Grandmaster within two years.
If that was the case, Su Hei could cultivate at an amazingly rapid pace!
-
After leaving the office, Su Hei rushed back to the dormitory.
He slammed the door shut and impatiently changed into his new training suit.
When he put on the 100,000-pound gravity training suit, Su Hei felt a strong pressure pressing down on him. It was as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on his body.
Su Hei got a little disoriented and almost fell on his butt.
"That was close. This training suit is as thick as an autumn outfit, but it is as heavy as 100,000 pounds. How impressive!" thought Su Hei.
Su Hei could not help but feel amazed.
"The chief instructor mentioned that I can adjust this to ten times the force of gravity. I'll try 200,000 pounds first."
Even though Su Hei was mentally prepared, his legs shook from the sudden weight change.
"300,000 pounds."
His legs continued to shake.
He could still bear this weight but could not continue to adjust the weight anymore.
"It'll take me a month at most to be able to handle 300,000 pounds of weight effortlessly. I guess my combat strength will increase significantly too," he thought.
Su Hei tried to gauge the time required for him to be able to handle that weight.
"In six months, I will adjust this to the maximum weight."
The time he had stated was much shorter than what Sikou Nanbo had predicted.
If Sikou Nanbo and Fang Dongjin knew what Su Hei was thinking, they would probably go crazy.
Su Hei was really ambitious!
