Chapter 164

Chapter 164

The machine did not break this time. After gusts of wind, and shock waves passed, everyone had their eyes dead set on the machine’s display screen.

The numbers on the display jumped crazily. In an instant, it had reached 500,000, then took another jump of a hundred thousand upwards. In the blink of an eye, it broke through 900,000.

The hearts in the room hung high. By the time the value officially broke through 990,000 and reached seven digits.

Their hearts fell instead.

It was as if they had finally verified something, their hearts had reached a certain critical point, and the next thing they knew, they were flat.

1,100,000!

1,200,000!

The speed of the numerical value beating slowed down and finally stopped at 1,235,700. Stopping at it.

The small examination room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. People had their eyes bulge at the final figure. It set off monstrous waves in their hearts, wreaking havoc on their psychological defences.

Xu Yaodong was already completely at a loss as to what to say. BQV comparable to that of a Master, a Master’s Will, and the path opened up to become a Level 7 Master. Even the Combat Power Index had reached the level of a Master.

Even if the other aspects were still a bit short, it was still worthy of the name of a.

Even if it fell short of a bit on some ends, it was still well deserved to call him a Quasi-Master. An eighteen-year-old Quasi-Master. A young Quasi-Master!

Xu Yaodong looked at Lu Sheng who stood with his fist closed in front of him with a complex expression, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he blurted out violently, “Where’s the internal energy? Why don’t you use your internal energy?”

Lu Sheng shook his head and said, “I’m not Level 5 yet, my internal energy has yet to take form.”

[Note: Level 4 forms the Internal Strength, you become a Level 5 after you manifest your internal energy/strength to form a Qi shield.]

Dang!

A ten-thousand-ton sledgehammer fell hard in Xu Yaodong’s heart, and his entire body almost staggered back half a step.

Not a Level 5 … No internal energy …

Lu Sheng’s words were as calm as water, but in Xu Yaodong’s ears, they were like thunderbolts. He had not yet reached Level 5, and he had already been able to fight at the level of a Master. Then, how would it be, when he truly became a Master? Wouldn’t that be comparable to a Grandmaster, with combat ability and power that surpasses a CPI of tens of millions, directly?!

Xu Yaodong opened his mouth to say something, but not a single word came out. After a moment of silence, he instructed the invigilators on either side of the silly floundering, “Don’t forget to record the results.”

Then he patted Director Liu’s shoulder and lamented, “Director Liu, congratulations. A true dragon is going to emerge from your Baihe City, ah …” After saying that, Xu Yaodong turned around and left. There was an indescribable despondency in his back.

Prodigies were like a sword, cutting down and maiming the hearts of seniors in their paths, ah … 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦

Director Liu’s lips trembled, he repeatedly murmured a few words, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“A true dragon … a true dragon … I have a true dragon in my Baihe City …”

Next to them, the two invigilators came back to their senses, shivering as they registered the scores.

Lusheng walked out of the sports centre, blending in with a group of examinees who were either dejected, dazed, excited, or exhilarated. His expression remained as calm as ever, like a returning tiger after a leisurely stroll.

Lu Hai and Lu Qinghe quickly went up to greet him.

“How did the exam go? Were you able to display your full strength?” Although Lu Hai had said that it was fine as long as Lu Sheng had no regrets, he was still concerned about the results.

Lu Qinghe also looked nervous and expectant. She quickly asked, “Brother, how did it go?”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “It went better than I expected. Going to the capital shouldn’t be a problem.”

Hu —

Only then did Lu Hai and Lu Qinghe breathe a sigh of relief. Since Lu Sheng himself said that there was no problem, then there was definitely no problem. The martial sciences examinations were not like the cultural exam, where one had to wait for the results. One would know the results of the exams on the spot.

Next, one just had to go back and wait for the overall results and the admission cutoff score of each martial arts university this year. The cutoff score did not fluctuate much every year. Comparing it to the previous batch, one could more or less know what university one could go to.

“Good, good, good!”

Lu Hai’s face was glowing. He chuckled and said, “It’s good that you finished the exam. No matter which university you go to, the family will support you.

Even if we have to sell everything we have, we’ll still support you!”

“Dad, with brother’s strength, do you still need to sell everything you have? He’s already gotten so many scholarships …” Lu Qinghe stared at Lu Sheng with bright eyes and sighed with emotion.

“Brother, you said you can get into one of Jingdu’s Sage Martial Universities. How many years has it been since there was a Baihe had a student go to a Sage Martial University? Then wouldn’t you be the city’s martial arts champion?! Wow, brother, you’re going to be the martial arts champion! Brother, you’re my idol!”

Shh, shh —

Lu Hai made a shushing gesture for Lu Qinghe to keep quiet.

“Lower your voice, others can hear you …” Indeed, when Lu Qinghe said things like Sage Martial University, martial arts champion, the people around them looked at them strangely.

“It’s not even set in stone yet. Don’t put your cart before the horse, others will laugh at you …”

Although he said that, Lu Hai, was also unable to restrain his joy. He muttered: “Martial arts champion, haha, my Lu family is going to have a champion …”

Lu Sheng looked at the two of them, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He called out: “Let’s hurry up and get back.”

“Okay, okay, let’s go home. Your mother has already prepared a table of delicious food for us.”

Lu Hai waved his hand and the three of them walked towards the parking lot.

“Martial arts champion? Sage Martial University? You really dare dream big …” As soon as the three of them left, someone immediately sneered disdainfully.

“As if your family has that kind of luck? Is a Sage Martial University that easy to get into? A family of idiots…” As he was speaking, a pale-faced and dazed examinee walked in front of this person.

“Hey, baby, you finished the exam? How was it, how was your performance?” Her face was filled with anticipation as she asked eagerly.

“Not very good …” The examinee shook his head, his expression somewhat absent-minded.

Suddenly, he noticed something in front of him and his whole body trembled violently. Then, he pointed at the back view of Lu Sheng’s family in the distance. Agitated and fearful, he trembled and complained. “Mom, it’s this person! This person smashed the testing apparatus with one punch during the exam. Even the chief invigilators of the Martial Arts Association and the Education Bureau were alarmed … He … he affected my performance …”

The last sentence was said by the examinee with extreme lack of confidence, but … Since he had already failed to live up to his family’s expectations, he should at least find a reasonable reason. Hearing her son complain, the woman who had previously mocked Lu Sheng’s family turned her head to take a look. The expression on her face instantly froze.

“What did you say? The … the testing apparatus was smashed?”
