Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

hum-

The silver-white blood and qi testing device emitted a deep rumble.

Su Yu's hands rested steadily on the sensor panel.

His original plan was to precisely control his Qi and Blood value at 9.8.

A number that's enough to get into a top university like Wuhan University, without being too shocking.

But just now...

He saw Zhao Ze's score of 10.3, and the condescending look in Zhao Ze's eyes, as if he were looking at trash.

Su Yu changed his mind.

If you're going to step on something, then step on it thoroughly.

10.4.

It was just a negligible 0.1 higher than Zhao Ze's proud limit.

It's not very harmful.

But it is extremely insulting.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

The dam of qi and blood within his body, which had been tightly locked by the "Concealing Breath Technique," silently cracked open with an extremely tiny fissure.

boom!

A blinding red beam of light shot up from the transparent glass tube of the testing instrument!

Without any pause!

Without any hesitation!

1.0!

3.0!

6.0! The passing grade was instantly shattered!

"Look! The speed of that beam of light!"

The candidates at the back of the line couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The playground, which was originally stunned by Zhao Ze's 10.3, was once again drawn to the noise of this machine.

"Who is that? Which class is he in?"

"It seems to be Su Yu from Class 3... that liberal arts student who's always at the bottom of the class?"

"Bullshit! 0.8 units of Qi and Blood can surge that powerfully?!"

The red beam of light is still shooting wildly!

8.0!

9.0!

10.0! The perfect score mark flashed by in an instant!

finally.

Just as the beam of light was about to touch the top of the glass tube, it stopped perfectly still and without any fluctuation.

It's frozen on a single number.

[Su Yu, Health and Qi: 10.4!]

[Rating: Excellent!]

The cold, electronic broadcast echoed across the spacious playground.

Once.

One more time.

The whole world seemed to have been muted at that moment.

A deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bright red numbers on the testing machine, their brains completely shutting down.

10.4?

Breaking the highest record of Jiangcheng No. 1 Martial Arts High School in nearly ten years?

Moreover, just a minute ago, he had forcefully pinned Zhao Ze's much-anticipated 10.3 down beneath him!

"Clang—"

Outside the crowd, Li Jianguo, the homeroom teacher of Class 3, suddenly smashed his thermos on the ground.

The scalding hot goji berry water splashed all over the floor.

But he was completely unaware.

Li Jianguo stared wide-eyed at the thin figure standing on the testing platform.

His lips were trembling violently.

Shocked!

A shock mixed with extreme regret and fear struck him like a heavy hammer blow to his chest!

He knew Su Yu's background all too well.

Three days ago, in the teaching and research office, Su Yu's Qi and Blood value was clearly only 0.8!

How could that orphan, whom he called trash and forced to sign a points-selling agreement, possibly unleash a terrifying 10.4 level of Qi and Blood within three days?!

What terrified Li Jianguo even more was Su Yu's attitude.

Too composed.

Standing before that machine that could change one's destiny, facing the astonishment of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

Su Yu didn't even dodge a breath.

There was no elation, no excitement, and he didn't even glance at the glaring result.

It's like... doing something trivial.

"What...did I miss?"

Li Jianguo's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

A genius with a score of 10.4! If he were to report this to the school, how much prize money would he receive? How much honor would he gain?

And now, he has personally offended this genius to death!

Next to the testing station.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood there blankly.

She nearly dropped the small metal vial containing the extract of "Bloodthirst Pill" from her hand.

"you……"

Lin Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at Su Yu as he slowly walked down from the testing platform.

Can't say a word.

But next second.

Her eyes suddenly reddened.

But he couldn't help but smile, a genuine and radiant smile spreading across his face.

Happy.

A pure, unadulterated joy!

She finally understood.

Why was Su Yu's gaze so calm when he refused her family's special recruitment offer three days ago at that dimly lit old street corner?

He said he wanted to apply to the Daixia Kyoto First Martial Arts University.

He wasn't dreaming.

He wasn't just trying to save face.

He truly has that ability!

"You damn liar..." Lin Xiaoxiao muttered softly, but her eyes were full of undisguised gleam.

At this time.

Zhao Ze is standing at the front of the line.

He was like a statue struck by lightning, frozen in place.

That face, which had previously displayed an arrogant and cold smile, was now completely distorted and deformed.

"impossible……"

Zhao Ze stared intently at the "10.4" on the screen, letting out a low, beast-like growl.

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"The machine is broken! It must be broken!"

0.8 to 10.4?

That's a difference of ten times!

Even if you drank the most advanced gene serum in the Great Xia Kingdom like water, it would be impossible to achieve such a miraculous leap in three days!

An opportunity!

A thought flashed through Zhao Ze's mind in an instant.

This kid must have had some incredible luck, he must have eaten some legendary rare and precious treasure!

Hey.

A maddening jealousy gnawed at Zhao Ze's heart like a venomous snake.

On what grounds?

How could someone who can't even afford synthetic meat possibly get such an opportunity?!

But then, Zhao Ze suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He remembered Old Mo who had disappeared last night.

If Su Yu had 10.4 health points...

Do not!

Zhao Ze shook his head violently, forcibly calming himself down.

Even if it's 10.4, that's only at the genius level of just reaching a perfect score in martial arts!

Old Mo is a formal martial artist who has broken the limits of human strength and has a blood energy value of 110!

There is an insurmountable gap between 10.4 and 110!

Su Yu is absolutely no match for Lao Mo!

"He must be being protected by someone in secret..."

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, frantically searching for a reasonable explanation for himself in his mind.

"Or, that bastard Lao Mo took the money and didn't do the job!"

Correct!

That must be it!

Zhao Ze took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his eyes, replacing it with an extremely cold killing intent.

"What about Qi and Blood at 10.4?"

Zhao Ze watched Su Yu walk towards the waiting area for the exam, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Martial arts are not just about dead numbers like health and mana!"

"You're just a nouveau riche who got rich quick by sheer luck. What martial arts skills do you know? What do you understand about power generation?"

"Although my strength is only 10.3, I've been soaking in medicinal baths since childhood and have mastered a low-grade Xuan-level martial art for practical combat!"

"In the upcoming practical assessment."

"I will personally shatter all your pride, and show you just how vast the gap truly is between commoners and noble families!"

Zhao Ze snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the rest area on the side.

……

Testing continues.

However, with Su Yu's outstanding score of 10.4 setting a high bar, the tests of the subsequent candidates seemed rather dull.

Even if an excellent score of 8.0 or above occasionally appears, it can no longer cause a stir among the crowd.
