Chapter 1868: Chapter 1489: Astonishment (Part 4)
Xia Weiya leaned in and spoke softly by Su Mo’s ear, like she was whispering sweet nothings.
After hearing that, Su Mo hurriedly pulled away. That feeling was way too uncomfortable.
Xia Weiya was grinning from ear to ear too, as if nothing in the world was more fun than teasing Su Mo.
"Enough chit-chat, Su Mo, aren’t you going to go up and give it a try?"
Bagley, a bit unwilling to let it go, said to Su Mo. He was really curious what kind of result Su Mo could get.
"I’ll pass. I feel way too noob. Bagley, you go first!"
Su Mo also pushed Bagley forward as he spoke.
"Seriously, you’re a grown man, why so wishy-washy? If you won’t go, I will."
Bagley said, striding straight ahead.
Very soon Bagley’s result came out—he only lasted eighteen minutes.
The rest also went up one after another. The worst result belonged to Loren, who only held on for thirteen minutes total.
It perfectly matched the Royal Order ranking.
Once everyone had taken a turn training, they all shifted their attention to Su Mo.
"Su Mo, your turn."
Everyone called out.
"Ha, how about you guys do a few more rounds, and I’ll go later?"
Su Mo quietly shuffled backward, looking like he really didn’t want to go.
At this point, seeing this, Xia Weiya and Bagley came over, grabbed Su Mo, and egged him on.
"Su Mo, stop being so wishy-washy, get up there."
"Wait, wait..."
Su Mo was both amused and helpless.
"Oh, he’s finally willing to go up. Interesting. I really want to see what kind of score he can get."
Herbert and the others were also really looking forward to the training result, curious what kind of score Su Mo could actually achieve.
After all, this kid had always been the type to stun everyone in one go.
So under everyone’s concerned gaze, Su Mo helplessly stepped onto the training apparatus.
Sitting on the second-floor viewing platform, Icaroya’s cold gaze flickered slightly, as if she’d also developed a bit of interest.
The machine started up quickly.
In an instant, Su Mo was swallowed by endless darkness.
The timer started running.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
Soon, thirteen minutes had passed.
Bagley asked Xia Weiya curiously,
"How long do you think this kid Su Mo can last?"
"Lasting half an hour wouldn’t even surprise me. This guy’s kind of freaky."
Xia Weiya was very optimistic about Su Mo.
However, right as Xia Weiya and Bagley were whispering to each other...
Su Mo’s expression twisted in pain.
Crack~
The machine suddenly blared an alarm and began to shut down. Su Mo was directly ejected out.
The time froze at fourteen minutes and twenty seconds, worse than Bagley, and only a bit better than Loren.
Seeing this, everyone on site broke into an uproar.
"You’re kidding, the result is that bad?"
...
Icaroya watched this scene, her brows slightly furrowed, her gaze shifting again and again.
This result was far beyond her expectations. Under normal circumstances, the first training run should be able to steadily reflect one’s actual level. And the machine never makes mistakes; it only shuts down when it detects that the trainee can’t take it anymore.
After coming out, Su Mo couldn’t help but gasp for air.
He’d nearly suffocated in there. His State really was shot. He’d just done several rounds of high-intensity training yesterday—he really couldn’t take it.
At this moment, Xia Weiya and Bagley walked up to Su Mo, sighed, and said,
"Don’t lose heart. Keep training hard, and one day you’ll get there."
Su Mo froze for a moment, then asked,
"How long did I last?"
"Fourteen minutes and twenty seconds. Barely so-so."
Bagley really couldn’t find any comforting words. This was practically bottom of the barrel.
After hearing that, Su Mo was actually quite happy instead of upset.
"Not bad, that’s pretty good."
"I can’t with you."
Bagley didn’t even know what to say anymore; in any case, he was pretty disappointed.
After that, Icaroya also stood up and left.
