Chapter 9: 9

Chapter 9: Experiment

“That kid actually lied to me by saying that there was only a 50% chance of dying!”

Lu Heng punched the bed.

When he traded some food stamps for the flower poison ginseng back then, the other party said that the chances of him dying after consuming it was only 50% and that, as long as he did not die, he would definitely become stronger.

When he consulted He Bing, who was a professional in the field of pharmaceuticals, he discovered that the success rate was less than 5% .

If he had known that the success rate was so low, he definitely would not have traded the food stamps for those things.

Although he was in a hurry to become a martial artist to resolve the urgent situation at hand, he would never have tried something with a 5% success rate, no matter how desperate he was.

A 50% success rate was fine and could still be called a gamble. However, a 5% success rate was simply suicidal…

“Damn it, I’ll definitely get even with him when I have the chance!”

After punching the bed again, Lu Heng finally calmed down.

Although this matter made him very angry, it was already in the past. At least he was still alive and well now.

The most important thing he had to do now was quickly study why his body’s reaction to the consumption of flower poison ginseng was different compared to ordinary people.

“Senior Brother He said that after eating flower poison ginseng, all the muscles in my body would twitch. In my case though, why did my head hurt so much to the extent I fainted?”

After He Bing explained the symptoms of poisoning, Lu Heng had initially thought that his experience differed from others because he was lucky not to be poisoned.

In the end though, He Bing said that everyone would be poisoned, without exception.

This made Lu Heng realize that he actually might be an exception.

“Senior Brother He also said that those who were lucky enough to survive would have their muscles strengthened, but my strength did not increase either…”

When Lu Heng woke up from the coma, the first thing he did was to examine his body. In the end though, he found nothing wrong with his body.

Not only was there no discomfort, there were no scars visible on the surface of his body.

This made him extremely happy. He thought that he had succeeded, so he had quickly found a place to practice the introductory moveset to see if he had really become stronger.

However, after practicing, he found that there were no changes in his strength at all.

He tried again and again but, in the end, he could only helplessly conclude that the flower poison ginseng had not worked.

After that, he gave up on the idea of eating the flower poison ginseng again.

After all, even if he was lucky enough to survive again, he might not necessarily become stronger, so why would he risk his life?

He had then stored away the remaining two flower poison ginseng plants, hiding them under the bed.

In fact, he had only ever intended to buy one plant, but when the other party found out that he had enough food stamps, the other party had tried his best to sell it as a buy-two-get-one-free deal.

At that time, Lu Heng’s mind had been full of thoughts about what would happen if he did not succeed and died. His thoughts were all over the place and, in the end, he was actually persuaded by the other party.

“I thought I had suffered a loss, but it now appears that I might have actually profited from this.”

Lu Heng stared at the flower poison ginseng in the iron box and thought this to himself.

He was almost certain that the sudden increase in his martial arts talent was related to his consumption of flower poison ginseng.

He knew his own matters best, after all.

Lu Heng was well aware that his original martial arts talent had not been good. It was definitely not something that had been inaccurately measured during the school test.

As such, this sudden change in his body could only be attributed to the consumption of flower poison ginseng.

In fact, after eating the flower poison ginseng back then, he had vaguely sensed that practicing martial arts had become easier.

At that time though, the thought of it being due to the flower poison ginseng had not crossed his mind at all, and he had not realized that his talent in martial arts had increased.

After all, he had never heard of a single instance where a person’s talent was able to change.

It was not until today, when Instructor Wu personally told him that his talent could be considered excellent, that he realized that perhaps his talent in martial arts had changed.

“It would be great if I could test my physique again. That way, I can confirm whether or not my talent has actually improved.”

It was impossible to test one’s comprehension ability accurately, as it was based on the teacher’s judgment. However, one’s physique could be measured by scientific means.

However, the problem was that once one started to cultivate internal strength, one’s physique could not be measured accurately.

This was because the cultivation of internal strength would draw qi into one’s body. The mysterious energy of qi would then gradually increase one’s physical strength.

This would cause the reagents used to test one’s physique to be unable to accurately measure one’s body’s adaptability to qi.

Generally speaking, as one continued to cultivate internal strength, the differences in the measured values would grow larger and larger.

Therefore, everyone would normally only have their physique tested once in their lifetime, which was when they were being divided into civil and martial arts classes in school.

Sighing slightly, Lu Heng picked up one of the flower poison ginseng.

“Since I only fainted the last time I took flower poison ginseng, it should be the same this time.”

“I was able to strengthen my talent back then, so it should work this time too!”

Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Heng swallowed the flower poison ginseng in his hand in one gulp.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not choose to take this risk. At the very least, he would not take this risk without some measure of certainty as to its actual effects.

The problem was that he really did not have much of a choice now.

He had to become a martial artist before his military service commenced. Otherwise, he could only accompany Xiaoxiao into the wilderness and try to fend for both of them or, more accurately, if he did not become a martial artist, he and Xiaoxiao would die in the wilderness. If he failed at this juncture, they would just have to accept their fate.

Moreover, he had already eaten the flower poison ginseng once. After eating it, he had still emerged safe and sound. His body did not experience any of the symptoms described by He Bing.

This was sufficient to prove that he was different from others. The risks involved with his consumption of the flower poison ginseng were likely far lower than they were for others.

Lu Heng wanted to believe that he would be lucky a second time.

“Hmm…”

After the flower poison ginseng entered his stomach, it did not take long for the intense pain to assault Lu Heng.

Lu Heng instinctively clutched his head and gritted his teeth to endure it.

At this moment, he was already lying on the bed. So, as long as he endured the pain and fainted like last time, everything would soon be over.

Thump Thump Thump!

Lu Heng’s heart was beating faster and faster. Cold sweat kept oozing from his entire body, drenching his clothes.

At the same time, Lu Heng felt his vision blur, and his consciousness gradually fading.

Finally, he completely lost consciousness.

Lu Heng had a nightmare.

In his dream, he saw his dead parents and big brother again. However, not long after the family was reunited, the three of them died one after another.

In a flash, the day of the martial arts assessment arrived. Lu Heng was eliminated from the assessment and did not succeed in becoming a martial artist.

After that, he returned home and witnessed the people in the community taking Xiaoxiao away.

He frantically tried to stop them, trying to alter Xiaoxiao’s fate.

Just as he was being overcome by the anxiety of it all, he suddenly woke up.

Lu Heng opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. He remained motionless for several seconds, after which he suddenly stood up and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside.

“One hour. This time, I was only unconscious for one hour!”

Before eating the flower poison ginseng, Lu Heng had specifically looked at the time in order to compare it with the last time.

The results were now out; it was four hours shorter than the last time, one-fifth of the initial duration.

“Is it because I had a nightmare?”

Lu Heng tried to analyze the situation.

“It seems like… The headache this time was not as intense as the last time?”

He was a little uncertain. He did not know whether it was because he had experienced the pain once and had been prepared for it, or whetherit was because the pain this time had actually lessened.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Heng looked at the iron box by the bedside.

There was still one last flower poison ginseng inside the box.

“Let’s eat this one too and try it again.”

Lu Heng grabbed the flower poison ginseng. He looked at the time on the alarm clock and ate it without hesitation.

This time, he was not worried at all. After all, he had emerged just fine after consuming it twice. Moreover, the symptoms he had experienced were completely different from others, so he would definitely be fine this time.

After swallowing the flower poison ginseng, Lu Heng quickly laid down on the bed and waited for the pain to strike again.
