Chapter 4

Lu Li looked back and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth running over quickly.

Lu Li knew this youth.

His name was Jiang Wuyan, and he had also moved into the Martial Artist residential area last year. He was extremely hostile toward Fierce Beasts. After hearing that Lu Li had once joined the army and fought against Fierce Beasts, he admired him greatly and often pestered Lu Li to introduce him to knowledge about Fierce Beasts.

"Big Brother Lu Li, have you broken through?" Jiang Wuyan knew Lu Li's situation and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Li was silent.

His situation was truly difficult to explain.

Seeing this, Jiang Wuyan thought he couldn't pass the test and couldn't help but comfort him: "Big Brother Lu Li, don't worry. A hero like you who dares to fight Fierce Beasts will break through sooner or later. I'm still waiting for you to take me to kill Fierce Beasts."

"Waiting for him to take you to kill Fierce Beasts? I'm afraid there's no hope for that in this lifetime." Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.

"Lei Hong, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Jiang Wuyan turned around, looked at the equally young youth, and glared at him.

"Am I spouting nonsense?"

Lei Hong sneered: "You haven't spent a short time with him; don't you know what his talent is like? He wasted a year of resources in the Martial Artist residential area but still couldn't even break through to become a Martial Artist. If I were him, I would have been too ashamed to stay here long ago."

"Shut your mouth."

Jiang Wuyan shouted angrily.

"Big Brother Lu Li joined the army to fight Fierce Beasts when he was just a quasi-martial artist. This year of cultivation time in the Martial Artist residential area was exchanged with his life. Who do you think you are, daring to talk nonsense here?"

"Who do I think I am?"

Lei Hong's whole body shook, grayish-yellow spiritual light flickered around him, and a fierce, supreme power erupted, charging toward Jiang Wuyan and Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't move a half-step.

Jiang Wuyan was caught off guard and took a step back, saying in shock: "You actually broke through to become a Martial Artist too."

"Hmph, what's breaking through to Martial Artist? Once my cultivation is stable, I'm going to join the army too, and I'll definitely do a hundred times better than him." Lei Hong pointed at Lu Li, his aura increasing even more.

But Lu Li remained unmoved, only saying calmly: "Lei Hong, if you really want to go to the army, I can introduce you right now."

"You..."

Lei Hong's aura stopped abruptly.

Although he hadn't experienced the horror of the army, he had long heard of it. Even Martial Masters and Great Martial Masters could die at the hands of Fierce Beasts at any time there; how could he dare to go now?

Knowing that his momentum had weakened and he could no longer humiliate Lu Li, Lei Hong waved his hand fiercely and left in anger.

"Hmph, you'd better take care of yourself."

Lu Li looked at his somewhat disheveled figure and shook his head lightly.

Come to think of it, he did have some grudges with Lei Hong's family.

The Martial Artist residential area did not forbid bringing family members; as long as one broke through to become a Martial Artist, the whole family could move in.

But there was only one share of cultivation resources.

Initially, Lei Hong and his father, who had already broken through to become a Martial Artist, moved into the area together. In order to cultivate faster, they stole some resources, which Lu Li discovered and stopped privately, thus becoming enemies.

This Lei Hong had broken through to become a Martial Artist at a young age, and now with two Martial Artists in the family, he naturally wanted to show off in front of him.

Lu Li was much older and wouldn't lower himself to his level.

If this Lei Hong really wanted to join the army and fight Fierce Beasts, he would even admire him a little.

Having fought there himself, he knew how terrifying it was.

But unfortunately, this Lei Hong was just talking; he didn't have the guts.

He was a paper tiger after all!

"Big Brother Lu Li, are you okay?" Jiang Wuyan asked worriedly, seeing that he didn't speak.

"I'm fine."

Lu Li shook his head.

"It's getting late, let's hurry to the test point."

He moved and rushed toward the test point.

A few minutes later.

Lu Li arrived at the third test point.

The third test point was divided into three floors, with almost identical layouts, and testing could be done on each floor.

According to his number, Lu Li came to the third floor.

The third floor had a hall with an electronic screen above it. People who came to test waited in the hall, and as long as their number appeared on the screen, they could go in to test.

At this moment, the third floor was already crowded.

The entire residential area of over thirty thousand people needed to complete the test within this day, so even with eight test points, time was tight, and many people were waiting in line at all times.

Lu Li was just about to sit down when he sensed a hostile gaze.

Turning his head, he saw that Lei Hong was already waiting on the side.

Interesting!

Lu Li didn't expect that Jiang Wuyan wasn't assigned to the same place as him, but this Lei Hong was actually testing at the same place.

However, there were many Martial Artists at the test point, and it was a public place in the residential area, so ordinary people didn't dare to mess around here. Although Lei Hong was hostile, he didn't make any extra moves.

Lu Li ignored him and sat down on the side.

A moment later, three numbers lit up on the electronic screen.

1237, 1238, 1239.

Lu Li glanced at the number 1237 on his phone and stood up.

And at this time, Lei Hong actually stood up too.

Lu Li was a little surprised, but didn't have much fluctuation; this Lei Hong had never been in his eyes from beginning to end.

After the third person stood up, he walked toward the test room.

Lei Hong followed closely behind, deliberately lowering his voice.

"Hmph, let's see how you end up later?"

Lu Li ignored him and walked into the test room.

In the room, two recording personnel sat in front of a long table.

Around them were twelve secret rooms, three of which had their doors open. On the open doors were electronic tags 1237, 1238, and 1239, corresponding to their numbers.

Lu Li observed secretly.

At this time, one of the people sitting in front of the long table said: "You should all know the rules. There are electronic tags on the doors of the negative pressure rooms. Go in according to your numbers."

Lu Li nodded and walked into the negative pressure room numbered 1237.

Lei Hong snorted coldly and also walked to the 1238 negative pressure room.

The third person also went to his own room.

"Start!"

Inside the negative pressure room.

The moment the recording personnel spoke, a huge pressure filled the entire room.

Lu Li, being inside, immediately felt pressure coming from all directions.

"So strong!"

Lu Li's expression changed slightly.

No wonder the residential area test was placed in this negative pressure room. The pressure here was extraordinary; it didn't come from the outside, but carried a powerful penetrative quality, able to pass through the skin and act directly on the flesh and blood.

If one were not a Martial Artist with copper skin and iron bones, just that moment alone would be enough to cause injury and force one to withdraw.

"Phew, as expected, there's no luck!"

Lu Li took a long breath.

This kind of peculiar pressure, if he hadn't already broken through to become a Martial Artist, even with the strongest willpower, he wouldn't be able to resist. If he stubbornly supported himself here, he would likely be torn apart by the pressure before the test was completed.

Such a test.

As long as one hasn't broken through to become a Martial Artist, one will never pass!

But now, Lu Li was not worried.

With his current cultivation, he could easily complete it.
