Chapter 681 - 312: Severely Overloaded

Does this thing actually have such powers?

Oh my god...

Under the expectant gaze of his classmates and the encouraging eyes of the Flight Professor, Lu Wenwu finally felt a sensation of his feet about to leave the ground.

He was somewhat pleasantly surprised; it seemed the professor’s judgment was correct.

So what are you waiting for?

Flying Broom, come, show me your limits!

Lu Wenwu’s magic power output doubled in an instant.

Just like a launch start, the broom even made a sound similar to an engine’s roar, thrusting upwards with a sudden lift.

"Crunch!"

A crisp cracking sound occurred, and the old Flying Broom suddenly turned into two green skyrockets, shooting straight into the sky in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

Good news: the broom took off, and it flew very fast.

Bad news: Lu Wenwu didn’t go up.

He looked bewilderedly at the Flight Professor, and the Flight Professor also looked bewilderedly at him.

The two stared at each other, eyes wide open in a kind of stand-off.

Including the Second Prince Zijing, every classmate was looking up at the sky with their mouths agape, watching the two halves of the Flying Broom that broke the model’s speed record.

Wait a minute...

Two halves!?

The broom went up, how come the person is still on the ground!?

A moment later, the Flight Professor seemed to realize something.

He suddenly recalled some rumors he had heard from Wood, which forced him to reconsider the results he had previously dismissed.

And then...

The Flight Professor’s face grew darker and darker, soon turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

He asked with a stern face, "What’s your weight?"

"Weight?" Lu Wenwu was stunned, "I don’t know? I haven’t measured it in a long time."

This was indeed the case.

Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he never cared about his weight anymore.

The Flight Professor took out a large balance scale, as tall as a person, from his magical storage artifact, akin to a super-enlarged kitchen scale.

The intent was clear.

Lu Wenwu obediently climbed on it and sat down.

As a huge magical weight appeared on the other end of the scale, the weight displayed astonished everyone present.

No need to look at the fractions.

Just the largest unit weighed three tons!

"Young Master Duo!?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Oh my god!"

"Magic Goddess’s shiny fishnet stockings!"

"This is simply astonishing!"

"Is he even human?"

"Isn’t he just a giant dragon in human skin..."

"..."

Lu Wenwu’s staggering weight drew exclamations from all his classmates, leaving even the Flight Professor stunned.

He almost shrieked with disbelief, asking a classic question.

"Mr. Tyrannosaurus! Are you really human? Are you sure you don’t have Titan bloodline in you? Damn it! Three tons! I truly don’t know what kind of Flying Broom could let you such a big guy fly! Is your body made entirely of Black Scale Heavy Stone!?"

"Really, no. I haven’t even seen what a Titan Giant looks like."

Jumping off the gigantic balance scale, Lu Wenwu felt a bit embarrassed.

He instinctively wanted to pet a dog to ease the awkwardness, but suddenly realized Mao Mao was still in the dorm, so his hand felt empty.

He could only awkwardly scratch his head.

There’s no need to say, he already knew why his broom could never lift off.

It was indeed an embarrassing matter.

It’s not the broom’s fault; it’s because he’s too heavy.

The broom had exerted every ounce of its effort to lift, yet even when overclocked to the point of breaking into two, it still couldn’t lift the severely overweight Lu Wenwu.

The broom felt bitter inside.

Thanks to the Influence Body Refining Skill, he had long achieved a perfect realm of controlling his power, casually switching between lifting heavy as if it were light, capable of floating over fragile paper like a startled swan.

If not for this, with his terrifying strength capable of flattening mountains with a single motion, wouldn’t he crush everything wherever he went?

An increase in body strength inevitably brings weight gain.

With only a little over three tons, this was already thanks to the cleverness of the Influence Body Refining Skill, which didn’t overly increase his body weight.

If he unfolded the Angry Dragon Dharma Aspect, the weight would be even more astounding.

Like those body modification enthusiasts in the cultivation realm’s demonic faction, obsessed with enhancing body strength and accommodating more powerful organs, their weight generally exceeded ten tons, completely resembling the legendary giants in size.

In hindsight, Lu Wenwu actually always overlooked this problem.

In the Dungeon World, it went without saying, whether in apocalyptic ruins or objects made from extraordinary materials, even if they broke, he wouldn’t care.

On the Blue Star, such a situation never occurred either.

This was mainly thanks to the tailored modifications done in the Divine Continent, making all public transport, buildings, roads, and other constructions stronger than they appear.

To ensure all players can live normally, the officials made every effort.

This time, Lu Wenwu encountered an organization without such experience for the first time and used unmodified tools for the first time, quickly exposing the issue.

The Flying Broom couldn’t lift him, making Lu Wenwu both amused and helpless.

However, speaking of being overweight, he suddenly realized a problem.

If buildings were specially reinforced, it would make sense.

But aren’t the beds, sofas, chairs at home all too sturdy?

For so long, the furniture at home never changed; they were the ones given when his apartment was allocated by the state.

At that time, the state didn’t know he would take the Body Refining path, so the furniture ought to be ordinary.

But how could ordinary furniture endure his weight and Mao Mao’s combined weight for so long?

Sometimes Mao Mao would transform into a huge form, taking up most of the bed, and Lu Wenwu would curl up with Xiaobao, sleeping beside the warm dog’s belly, soft and cozy.

At those times, he was completely relaxed, unlike outside where he would deliberately control his body.

Yet, he never considered the furniture’s weight capacity.

Instantly, Lu Wenwu fell into contemplation.

He was sure that the furniture at home never changed.

The state didn’t know he took the Body Refining path at the start, so they couldn’t have sent him a set of special Body Refining furniture, as that would be costly.

So... why?

At that moment, two loud bangs snapped him out of his thoughts.

It was the two halves of the broom finally falling.

The impact, akin to space-based weapons, left two large craters on the flight practice lawn.

The Flight Professor let out a deep sigh, "With your weight, you are practically isolated from the standard market Flying Brooms. Custom-made flying carpets, flying cars, and Flying Boats for large creatures might suit you better."

"If you still want to continue this course, you’d better visit Professor Wood, and have him custom make one for you. I hear you two get along well, Professor Wood should be happy to help."

"If that’s really not possible... well, I’ll try to apply with the dean to exempt you from the test. This was originally for your roommates like the Silver Skull and Fire Element, those special species, but given your special circumstance, maybe there’s room for flexibility."

Getting Wood to make him a super-alloy broom?

What a joke, that old man would surely hammer his head with a mallet upon hearing he broke the school’s broom!

Lu Wenwu chuckled dryly, "I’ll try... I’ll try..."

The Flight Professor said nothing more.

He glanced at the time and dismissed the class early, taking the broom’s remains, broken into pieces, to find the dean.

The snow wolf boy Snow was the first to approach, wagging his fluffy white tail, full of curiosity as he asked, "Tyrannosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, with your weight so heavy, why are the dining chairs, dorm beds still intact?"

The other classmates shared this curiosity, silently perking up their ears to listen.

"Well... at other times I control my strength, trying not to exert my entire weight, but with the flying broom incident, it’s not something I could control..."

Lu Wenwu chuckled dryly, brushing it off.

He couldn’t admit he went back to the Dragon Mansion to cultivate every night, never actually sleeping on the school beds?

Regarding controlling weight, with just a leverage point, it’s achievable, not difficult in Martial Dao.

For instance, classic techniques like the Light Body Skill, Thousand-Pound Fall, Crossing the River on a Blade of Grass are all similar.

However, people in this world wouldn’t understand, so Lu Wenwu couldn’t explain.

So...

He could only brush it off.

That evening, Lu Wenwu’s glorious feat once again spread throughout the Magic Academy, becoming wildly famous once more.

The Second Prince Zijing was envious to the point of turning purple, his eyes red with jealousy, almost grinding his teeth, hating that the attention wasn’t on him.
