After exchanging a few words with Xia Cheng, Lu Sheng bade the two of them farewell. He entered the library while Xia Cheng's other female companion teased him.
The library was like a U-shaped horseshoe. It had a total of six floors. Three floors were underground, and the other three were above ground. It was silver-gray in color. A huge emblem of the Platinum Academy hung at the top — a six-petaled flower.
It looked similar to a six-pointed star. The petals were slender and straight. Apart from the oval stamen in the middle, Lu Sheng could not tell it apart from a six-pointed star.
It was currently class time. Not many students were entering the library. Most of them were in a hurry. Only students like Lu Sheng, who had just started school and had yet to receive their textbooks, would come to the library to look for information.
Lu Sheng entered the library's main hall. He obtained his library card from the aged librarian. He walked to the floor map and searched for the information he wanted.
In Jorin's memory, the last time he entered the library was a few months ago. He was investigating the clues of the explosion case.
Back then, he stayed in the third underground floor for half a month. Although he did not find many clues, he had a deep understanding of the cause and effect of the case.
The Platinum Academy listed the explosion case as a research case for the Intelligence Department and the Assassination Department.
Until now, the culprit had not been found for the successful assassination of the important person. It could be said to be one of the ten most successful assassination cases in the federation's history.
Soon, Lu Sheng found the floor where the Harmonizing Power teaching materials were stored. They were in Room A10 on the second floor above ground.
"Bam."
Suddenly, someone bumped into him from behind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
A refined bespectacled man scratched his head. He was panting slightly as he apologized.
"I ran too fast. I can't control myself."
"It's fine," Lu Sheng said drily, "Just be more careful next time."
"Of course, of course." The bespectacled man nodded hastily. Then, he ran to the floor map and glanced at it. Then, he ran away hastily and dashed into the elevator that had just opened not far away.
The elevator doors closed. Lu Sheng stood where he was, deep in thought. He reached into his shirt pocket and felt a white note.
"Interesting." He raised his eyebrows and did not take out the note. Instead, he walked into the stairwell and went up to the second floor.
In the empty stairwell, he quietly took out the note and glanced at it.
There was only one line of clear words on it: "Be careful."
'This handwriting again …' Lu Sheng frowned slightly. The reason why Jorin had come to the library to investigate the explosion case was because he had received the guidance of the mysterious note.
This time, the note came again.
Also, the bespectacled man was completely different from the last time.
'There's more to this than meets the eye … I'll have to be careful. Looks like Jorin's investigation has caused some trouble. My arrival this time might not be an accident.' He had some guesses in his mind. Jorin was knocked unconscious by the sparks, but he did not do it on purpose.
He walked up to the second floor unhurriedly. There weren't many people on the floor, and there were a few couples hugging each other in the aisle. One of them was kissing each other as if no one else was around.
Lu Sheng found the A10 reading room next to a couple. He pushed the door open and walked in.
The librarian of the reading room was a young female student. She sat at the table by the door and was reading a book that looked like a biography of an XXX.
Lu Sheng passed his card to her for inspection. The girl glanced at it casually and returned it to him.
Lu Sheng took the card and glanced around. Surprisingly, there were only a few people in the entire borrowing room.
"Martial arts and combat are on the left. Harmonizing Power and Mechanical External Components are on the right. Look through them yourself." The librarian said lazily without even lifting her head. Then, she continued reading her book.
Lu Sheng did not mind.
Harmonizing Power was not valued because everyone's aptitudes were similar. Moreover, the method of training was simple.
The Harmonizing Power training methods of many schools were actually similar. The only difference was the method of training.
This mainly depended on one's aptitude. Moreover, the difference between the most talented and the least talented would not be too great. Therefore, it was only natural that it was not valued.
Lu Sheng walked past a female student who was searching for information on the floor. Soon, he found a row of bookshelves about Harmonizing Power.
'Introduction to Harmonizing Power', 'Path of Harmonizing Power', 'Preliminary Exploration of Harmonizing Power', 'Open Your Heart', 'On the Power of Focus', 'The 365th Day I Fell in Love with Harmonizing Power' …
All sorts of gimmicky book titles made Lu Sheng lose most of his interest in sifting through them.
He quickly scanned through them and quickly decided on the simplest book — 'The Three Mainstream Schools of Harmonizing Power'.
He took the book out and flipped through it casually. Lu Sheng quickly understood what this so-called Harmonizing Power was. This was what was recorded in the book.
"… The nature of Harmonizing Power has been debated for decades, but there has never been a consensus. Some say that it's the materialization of the brain's spirit, while others say that it's the materialization of focus and perception. Some even say that it's a power given to humans by some kind of god to protect themselves.
"This power is terrifyingly stable. Although it's not eye-catching and can't compare to the mental cultivation methods of the various sects, it's an indispensable key to armors and armaments.
"Scientists have discovered that the key influencing factor of Harmonizing Power is mainly produced by the coordination and unity of the body's stamina and spirit.
"In today's society, there are three mainstream Harmonizing Power training methods. The first is the fifth set of cross exercises. The second is the 77th variation of self-massage. The third is the Iron Man's Three Gears. "
The styles and tendencies of the three Harmonizing Power training methods were different.
However, the overall effects were minimal. They were all about developing the human body's abilities. The methods were different, but the effects were similar. It had to be said that this was a preliminary indication that the current training methods had already reached an extremely high level of development.
Lu Sheng analyzed them briefly. Since the effects were about the same, he finally chose the Iron Man's Three Gears which had the least side effects and the highest quality-price ratio.
Compared to the other two training methods, the Iron Man's Three Gears had obvious advantages. However, the disadvantage was that it was very tiring. Very tiring. Its range of application was not very wide.
"This is it. Let's see the specific training method. "
The Iron Man's Three Gears was very simple. It was divided into three levels. Mastering the third level would basically allow one to develop all the Harmonizing Power in the human body.
Based on normal statistics, it would take three years.
Lu Sheng quickly memorized the steps of the training method for the third level. Since it was similar to the various movements and postures of yoga gymnastics, he would at most add weights. Hence, there were not many words. There were about 4,000 words in total. Along with the explanation of the pictures, for a Weapon Grandmaster like Lu Sheng, it only took him two minutes.
Two minutes later, he had completely memorized the entire training method. Then, he tried to find similar descriptions and explanations for the Iron Man's Three Gears from other books.
After flipping through dozens of books, Lu Sheng tabulated all the contents and came up with the most standard version with the highest error tolerance.
'Then, it's the training for the first level. I can start it immediately when I get back. Fortunately, this training method doesn't require too much of an environment.'
Putting away the books in his hands, Lu Sheng walked out of the space between the bookshelves.
"Jorin?" A tall, long-haired male student happened to be standing in the space between the bookshelves. He was looking at Lu Sheng in surprise. He seemed slightly surprised.
"You're here too?"
"It's you, Shajay?" Lu Sheng was slightly surprised as well. Unlike the immature Jorin, he had a vague feeling that it was too much of a coincidence for Shajay, the class monitor, to appear here.
"I'm here to look up some information. Jorin, are you feeling better? The accident just now seemed pretty serious. "Shajay put on a kind expression.
"Thank you for your concern, class monitor. I'm feeling much better now," Lu Sheng replied casually.
"That's good …" A hint of confusion flashed past the bottom of Shajay's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"You can continue. I'll be heading back," Lu Sheng added.
"Mm-hm, alright." Shajay nodded slightly.
After watching Lu Sheng leave the reading room, Shajay's expression slowly turned cold.
'He's still alive after all this. He's really lucky.'
He turned around and ignored everything else. He took a random book and left the reading room.
Soon, Lu Sheng's figure appeared in the reading room again. He looked to his left and right. When he did not see Shajay, he had an answer in his heart.
…..
In the afternoon, he returned to the dormitory.
Lu Sheng immediately began training the first gear of the Iron Man's Three Gears. The first gear training did not require external weights. Hence, he could do it indoors.
'Imagine a viscous liquid covering your entire body and every inch of your skin. Then, maintain this state and assume the posture according to the diagram.'
Lu Sheng had been practicing martial arts for a long time. He had dabbled in many skills and secret techniques. Naturally, he was extremely proficient in such basic training that was similar to external techniques.
However, this Jorin's body was too weak. It could not withstand too much of a burden. Lu Sheng was only halfway through the first gear when he felt a tearing pain all over his body. Many of his muscles and fascias were forcefully pulled apart.
'That's about it. It's good that I've learned the basics.' Without wasting any more time, Lu Sheng immediately sat down to rest. He poured himself a glass of water and finished it in one gulp.
'Deep Blue.'
He called out in his heart.
The light blue frame appeared. Lu Sheng immediately looked at the last frame.
"Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level 2 (Iron Man's Three Gears, Uninitiated). (Special traits. Armor manipulation range is 11 centimeters from the body surface.) "
'As expected, it's displayed?' Lu Sheng did not waste any time. He pressed the modify button under the modifier. Then, he focused his gaze on the Armor Harmonizing Power frame.
"Upgrade the Iron Man's Three Gears by one level."
His Mental Energy was reduced by a tiny amount. It was not even one unit.
Lu Sheng immediately saw the frame tremble slightly. It blurred for a moment before it regained its clarity. The new frame immediately switched to the primary and secondary frame.
"Iron Man's Three Gears, first gear, level 1. (Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level 3) "
Lu Sheng felt an invisible power growing. This was a strange feeling. It was as if he had better control and attention to the things around him in a small area.
'Did it increase by one level?' Lu Sheng read the book. He knew that there were three levels of Harmonizing Power.
Weak, Medium, and Superior.
Each level was divided into five levels. The three levels added up to a total of 15 levels. An ordinary person could slowly increase their Harmonizing Power with time if they trained according to the training method. The limit of an ordinary person would be in the range of Medium Level 2 or 3.
Training methods like the Iron Man's Three Gears corresponded to the 15 levels. The first gear, second gear, and third gear corresponded to the three levels of Weak, Medium, and Superior.
'Let's continue, then.'
