Chapter 1867: Chapter 1489: Astonishment (Part 3)
Xia Weiya looked up at Su Mo and returned a brilliant smile.
"You’re pretty good at comforting people."
"Haha, not really, let’s see how long Herbert can last."
Su Mo quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing Su Mo, Xia Weiya gazed at Herbert and quietly waited.
Not long after, an unusual expression appeared on Herbert’s face, showing a look of pain.
Su Mo glanced at the time, exactly thirty minutes, but Herbert did not stop training and was still persisting.
"Thirty-one minutes!"
"Thirty-two minutes!"
.....
"Thirty-four minutes!"
Crack!
The training instrument stopped functioning, and Herbert was ejected.
Molock and others approached, saying to Herbert: "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, how long did I last?"
Herbert immediately asked.
Lord Cokes spoke to Herbert in a low voice: "34 minutes and 6 seconds, a great improvement."
Herbert’s expression relaxed significantly after hearing that, nodding with satisfaction.
"That’s not bad."
Herbert remembered clearly that his previous limit was 32 minutes, so this was indeed a significant improvement.
On the observation platform, Icaroya observed the training results and spoke indifferently.
"Continue."
Goli immediately addressed everyone present.
"Second round, who’s going up?"
The people present looked at each other, and no one immediately stepped forward.
In fact, everyone had similar thoughts, wanting to observe for a while longer and go up to train later.
To see if they could last longer and leave a good impression on Icaroya.
Xia Weiya looked at Su Mo with interest, smiling as she asked, "Su Mo, aren’t you going to show your skills?"
"Yeah! Brother, you’re so strong, maybe you’ll have outstanding results."
Bagley chimed in encouragingly.
Loren agreed and said, "I’m also curious, Su Mo, how long can you last?"
Su Mo had an embarrassed look on his face, feeling like a million grass mud horses were running through his mind.
He had just trained yesterday, and going up now would not only have him in a terrible state, but he might also injure himself, so he replied with a chuckle.
"I’m not up to it, Bagley, you guys go first."
Bagley gave a disbelieving look and said with annoyance.
"You’re not up to it? We don’t believe that, you’re the slipperiest, we can’t trust what you say. At the awards ceremony, you said your contribution wasn’t big, but it turned out yours was the biggest."
"Haha, that was a surprise."
Su Mo was also awkwardly embarrassed.
At this moment, Crock and Lord Cokes stood out.
Bagley exclaimed excitedly.
"The main event is here, Crock and Lord Cokes are going up."
Su Mo was also highly intrigued, as they were the two strongest members of the Royal Order, and he wondered how the results would be.
Soon, the two got on the training device and entered the biological container tank.
Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Goli activated the training equipment.
Su Mo and the others watched intently.
Before long, half an hour had passed.
"It’s been 35 minutes."
.....
"It’s been 40 minutes."
Bagley and the others were somewhat uneasy.
"It’s about time, Lord Cokes is nearing his limit too."
Xia Weiya said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, four minutes later, Lord Cokes was also ejected, leaving only Crock still persisting.
"How long do you think Crock will last?"
Su Mo curiously asked Xia Weiya.
"Not sure, but judging by Crock’s current state, he seems at ease."
Xia Weiya said seriously.
Everyone quietly observed, and soon an hour passed, then two hours.
Su Mo was stunned, knowing that Crock was strong, but not expecting him to be this strong.
He took a few deep breaths, patiently waiting.
When the timer reached two hours and twenty-three minutes.
Crack~
The training instrument stopped.
Crock was ejected, but he looked better than Lord Cokes and the others when he came out.
"As expected of Lord Crock."
Ai Lu and others praised one after another.
Crock addressed everyone present in a deep voice: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded."
"Yes!"
Ai Lu and the others responded.
Lord Cokes and Herbert remained silent, not saying much.
"Alright, everyone keep working hard on your training."
After advising them, Crock headed towards the locker room.
Molock, feeling a bit unfair, spoke to Lord Cokes and Herbert: "It’s actually no big deal, Lord Cokes, Lord Herbert, your strengths aren’t much different than his, it’s just....."
"Molock, enough."
Lord Cokes cut off Molock, but if you looked closely at his eyes, you could see that they were still filled with self-confidence.
Su Mo, with his sharp ears, heard Molock’s words and curiously whispered to Xia Weiya.
"Isn’t Crock’s strength far surpassing Lord Cokes and Herbert’s? Why would Molock say that?"
"Want to know? Come closer, and I’ll tell you."
Xia Weiya showed a charming smile.
"Can’t you just say it outright?"
Su Mo was a bit overwhelmed, responding awkwardly.
"Well, this is a secret, a huge secret, if you don’t want to know, then forget it."
Xia Weiya played hard to get, looking as if she had Su Mo figured out.
Su Mo, with determination, leaned in, and Xia Weiya moved close to his ear and softly said.
"Don’t be fooled by how respectful Herbert and the others are to Crock, that’s just on the surface; deep down, they are also dissatisfied."
"Why?"
"The reason is simple, Crock is different from everyone else. He’s the only one who has been injected with the VI Genetic Potion, a potion that Star Ring City spent endless financial and material resources to create. Now think, Lord Cokes and Herbert, without the VI Genetic Potion, managed over forty and thirty minutes respectively, and Crock only lasts just over an hour more than them, can they be convinced? In their eyes, if given the opportunity to take the injection, they might surpass Crock."
