Chapter 314: Chapter 306: Everything Goes Dark (Five in One)_4

The virtual interface turned yellow, stopping the training session.

Time froze at 11 minutes and 32 seconds!

At that moment, the transparent cover automatically opened, and Astre, the senior student, opened his eyes and climbed out on his own.

Shani’er hurried forward, handing him a towel and saying,

"Senior, please wipe yourself off."

"Thank you."

Astre nodded his head in appreciation.

Spectators around the area burst into applause, offering sincere praise.

"Amazing!"

"Not bad!"

Astre didn’t show much pride, remaining quite composed.

Su Ming watched this scene and said to Lin Chuyu and the others,

"Let’s go train as well!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chuyu and the other two nodded their heads.

They headed toward the unused training pods, where the number of pods matched the number of reservations, leaving none spare.

As Su Ming and his friends had arrived late, their pods were scattered in different corners.

Su Ming walked over to his training pod and raised his hand to bring up the virtual operation interface.

Looking at the displayed standard training mode, timed training mode, and neural overload training mode, he unhesitatingly chose the last option.

Then, Su Ming jumped into the training pod and began his training.

...

Time ticked away.

Throughout the training area, everyone was busy with their intensive training regimes.

As soon as they had rested enough, they immediately dove into the next round of training, given the exorbitant cost of training here.

At this moment, the pod next to Su Ming opened, and a youth with a clear complexion gasped for air as he climbed out of the pod.

"Zhang Hua, over here!"

A student called out, waving, from a distance.

Zhang Hua promptly walked toward his companion but glanced inadvertently at Su Ming’s pod as he passed by.

His body stiffened in disbelief, and he turned to look at the virtual display, which showed:

Life status: Normal.

God-tier connection status: Yes

Training mode: Super neural overload mode

Training time: 21 minutes 13 seconds! 21 minutes 14 seconds!

...

"Quick! You guys come and see, who is this guy?"

Zhang Hua’s eyes bulged as he shouted somewhat indiscreetly.

As his yelling spread, people started to gravitate toward him.

Even Lin Chuyu and his resting companions approached.

Shani’er asked curiously,

"What’s the matter?"

"Look at this person’s training time; it’s even more impressive than Senior Astre!"

Zhang Hua exclaimed excitedly.

"No way, for real?"

Shani’er and the others showed expressions of extreme surprise.

Astre also furrowed his brows and approached, taking a careful look at the virtual display. When he saw the displayed time, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

"22 minutes 11 seconds? Who is this person?"

A stir went through the crowd on site!

...

In the pitch-black spiritual world, Su Ming drifted like a fallen leaf.

He silently felt the difference between a super neural connection under overload and a normal super neural connection.

He found there wasn’t much of a difference and didn’t experience any discomfort.

But just then, Su Ming suddenly sensed something amiss, his expression becoming grave.

The unusual sensation didn’t come from his mind but rather seemed like a physical discomfort, as if his body had reached its limit.

Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately terminated the super neural connection.

Instantly, the virtual interface popped up with a prompt.

"Super neural connection disconnected, training session interrupted!"

The transparent cover subsequently opened, and Su Ming swam to the surface of the pod. But when his head emerged, he was shocked by the scene before him.

He saw himself surrounded by a crowd of training students.

"What’s going on?"

Su Ming wore a baffled look.

At that moment, he overheard the crowd around him whispering.

"My goodness, 24 minutes and 13 seconds, this is incredibly strong!"

"Who is he? Do any of you know him?"

"Oh my, isn’t this the freshman Su Ming?"

"Su Ming, he’s that guy who ranked first in the practical tasks!"

"Yes, that’s him!"

"I remember he’s an external student, so strong?"

"Don’t look down on him because he’s from an external school, he’s amazing! If nothing unexpected happens, he’s predicted to be the highest achiever among the freshmen this year."

"Why didn’t he transfer to an internal school, then?"

"That’s unclear, but there are rumors that the internal school has already extended an invitation, but he’s not willing to transfer."

...

"Truly a great reputation is well deserved, junior, you are indeed remarkable!"

Astre reached out his hand directly to Su Ming.

"Thank you."

Su Ming shook Astre’s hand and climbed out of the training pod, thanking him.

"What a trip this was, it wasn’t wasted; I spent a lot of money, but it looks like I need to train even harder."

After Astre spoke, he walked toward the training pod.

The onlooking crowd also moved towards the training pods, feeling the immense pressure.

Only Lin Chuyu and the other two remained.

Beikaen sighed and said, feeling a bit deflated,

"Su Ming, to be honest, I was a little annoyed about you getting those high credits. But now I finally know where I stand compared to you!"

"Uh, just lucky."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Don’t be modest, I don’t need those comforting words. In this world, the strong are just that, and though I’m not as good as you right now, I’ll definitely work hard to catch up to you. I’m off to train."

Beikaen turned and walked to his own training pod.

An Ruoxue also grinned at Su Ming, saying,

"Absolutely monstrous, I need to double my efforts too."
