Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 37 Genius? monster!

After a long while, Zhuge Tao managed to force himself to calm down a little.

Although he was still not particularly calm, at least he could communicate normally with Jiang Lan.

He took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Lan, and after a long while, finally spoke:

"Let's test the speed."

Zhuge Tao had a vague premonition that Jiang Lan... seemed to be more than just a genius.

He's a monster!

The word "genius" is simply insufficient to describe Jiang Lan's monstrous talent.

"it is good."

Jiang Lan agreed and then took a few steps forward, standing in front of the track.

Before Zhuge Tao could speak, he turned on the speed test switch on his own.

Jiying!

With absolutely no intention of hiding his strength, Jiang Lan went all out from the start.

Since the decision has been made to erupt, there's no need to hide it.

He decided to give Zhuge Tao a little speed shock.

Jiang Lan tensed her leg muscles slightly and slowly adjusted her physical condition.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

A loud sonic boom rang out, causing Zhuge Tao to widen his eyes as he tried to catch a glimpse of Jiang Lan.

But his efforts were completely in vain.

Zhuge Tao's gaze could only catch a faint afterimage of Jiang Lan.

The speed is too fast for my eyes to keep up with!

In less than two seconds, Jiang Lan reappeared at the starting point and slowly came to a stop.

Zhuge Tao stared wide-eyed, unable to recover for a long time.

Although he couldn't tell how fast Jiang Lan was, he knew how long the track in the three underground training grounds for the God of War was.

One kilometer!

Less than two seconds!

That speed is at least 500 meters per second.

Another intermediate-level War God!

At this moment, even Zhuge Tao was quite surprised.

Even if Jiang Lan told him now that he was a deity descended to earth, Zhuge Tao wouldn't have a single doubt.

It's outrageous, but not too outrageous.

You could say he's become numb at this point.

Jiang Lan looked up at the light screen, quite satisfied with the speed he had just unleashed.

Although the indoor space limited its performance to some extent, it still managed to achieve 95% of its speed.

A moment later, the performance data slowly appeared on the screen.

582.27m/s

Zhuge Tao's legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

582?

What the hell is this thing?

The speed threshold for advanced War Gods is 600 meters per second.

Jianglan 582?

Doesn't this mean that Jiang Lan's speed is only 18 meters per second away from breaking through the advanced war god level?

Zhuge Tao turned his gaze to Jiang Lan, seeing that she was not blushing or out of breath, and seemed completely at ease. He once again felt the injustice of the world.

Judging from his appearance, he clearly hasn't reached his limit yet.

In extreme conditions, wouldn't breaking through those ten-odd meters be an easy feat?

Zhuge Tao swallowed hard.

"Neural response test... Shall we still do it?"

Jiang Lan looked completely bewildered and pointed to her own nose, saying:

"You're asking me? Whether I take the test or not, don't I have to listen to you?"

"oh oh……"

Zhuge Tao then realized, "Oh right, I was the one who invited them over, and now I'm asking them if they want a reading..."

"Shall we take the test?"

"Test".

"Okay, but we need to go upstairs to test neural reaction speed," Zhuge Tao said. "There's no testing room downstairs."

"Yes, that's fine." Jiang Lan readily agreed.

Come here.

Following behind Zhuge Tao, the two took the elevator to the sixth floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a neural response testing machine that was significantly larger than the one at the Extreme Club in Yangzhou City.

"How do you determine whether someone is a mid-level or high-level War God?"

Zhuge Tao looked at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Hey Tao, this is making me really awkward."

He was clearly brought here by Zhuge Tao, but now, no matter how big or small the matter is, Zhuge Tao has to ask for his opinion first.

Who could stand this?

Zhuge Tao remained silent for a while after hearing this.

If it were before, he might have been able to command Jiang Lan with a clear conscience.

But things are different now. Although Jiang Lan is still just an ordinary member of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, her strength has far surpassed his.

Mars.

Moreover, he is a mid-level War God.

He would usually address someone of that level of strength as "Master" if he encountered them outside.

Therefore, Zhuge Tao's current state is already considered quite good.

If it were anyone else, they might have immediately bowed down to Jiang Lan.

Swallowing hard, Zhuge Tao said, "Don't worry about the details, just test it out."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the machine and made some adjustments.

A moment later, Zhuge Tao spoke again: "All done, intermediate-level War God test."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan walked to the machine and stood there.

Zhuge Tao activated the machine, and a hazy red light enveloped the area around Jiang Lan, outlining a small region.

Immediately afterwards, the machine vibrated slightly.

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep—"

Rubber bullets seemed to be flying everywhere, hurtling towards Jiang Lan at incredible speeds.

Jiang Lan was prepared this time, and since Swift Shadow was also activated, she was only a little unaccustomed to it at first and took two bullets.

As for what followed, it was a perfect success.

When the machines finally stopped, Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he had a bit of a psychological aversion to the speed of his neural reactions.

He still vividly remembers the scene when he was hit by the one-horned wild boar.

Actually, although he had very little time to react at that time, he could have completely dodged it if he had been prepared.

However, at the last moment, he only managed to dodge the horn, but was still grazed.

Fortunately, it was just a minor scratch; otherwise, who knows what might have happened to him now.

After that incident, Jiang Lan became extremely cautious when hunting monsters, and would avoid taking risks unless absolutely necessary.

Just as Jiang Lan was pondering, his score slowly appeared on the instrument's light screen.

[Intermediate God of War reaction speed test: Hit twice within 60 seconds, touched the red light 0 times, excellent result.]

Upon seeing the results, Zhuge Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not perfect.

After seeing the data displayed on the screen, he was even a little relieved.

The speed was too fast, and his strength was only that of a high-level warrior. He couldn't see Jiang Lan's movements clearly at all, so he naturally didn't know whether he had been hit or not.

However, if it were him testing it, he would probably be riddled with holes by now.

Looking at Jiang Lan, Zhuge Tao could no longer suppress his excitement and said in a trembling voice:

"Wait a minute, your grades... I need to report them to headquarters."

"Reporting to headquarters isn't a problem..." Jiang Lan changed the subject, "but can I go to the wilderness area first?"

He was so bored that he couldn't stand staying in the martial arts school for even a second longer.

Jiang Lan's strength improved too easily; if he didn't rush into cultivation, he would truly be out of his mind.
