Chapter 104: Yuan-replenishing Pill

Do you understand?

The trainees shouted in unison: "Understood!"

But for a martial artist with extraordinary lung capacity, that voice sounded a bit weak and feeble.

"What ranking battle, still need rankings? First place is definitely going to be Lu Jing's......"

"Exactly, we're just here to make up the numbers."

"As the top talent of Pinghe City, I actually can't even hope to catch up to them; when I go back I'll definitely train hard!"

Zhu Xingyao heard the murmurs of the crowd below, raised her little hand, and a soldier beside her brought out three wooden boxes.

Clack!

Zhu Xingyao directly opened the box, revealing the supreme-grade Dan Medicine inside.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly wafted over, drawing everyone's gaze.

Holy crap! What Dan Medicine is this? Just smelling it makes my Blood Qi feel like it's condensing!

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the supreme-grade Yuan-replenishing Pill.

Supreme-grade Dan Medicine?! This stuff is priceless and unobtainable—you can't even buy it!

A commotion broke out in the crowd, stirring everyone's emotions.

However, the next second, Zhu Xingyao directly closed the box.

The tempting medicinal fragrance was instantly cut off.

Dong Ningxue said solemnly: "Here are three supreme-grade Dan Medicines, to be awarded to the top three of this ranking battle......"

So, youths, if you want it, go strive for it!

Under the temptation of the supreme-grade Dan Medicine, the previously lazy trainees all straightened up, filled with high spirits.

For the supreme-grade Dan Medicine, go all out!

I'll go all out anyway—there are three pills, as long as I don't run into Lu Jing, I still have a chance!

Even if I encounter Lu Jing, I'll still give it a try—maybe... never mind, if I really meet him, I'll just lie on the ground and play dead.

Everyone quiet down, the test will begin now—those whose names are called, please come on stage!

As Dong Ningxue's deputy, Zhu Xingyao naturally took on the task of calling names.

Guan Tian Yue!

As her voice fell, a female student stepped out of the line and came to the Blood Qi testing device set up earlier on the square.

She took the needle, drew blood, all in one smooth motion.

While the Blood Qi test was taking time, Guan Tian Yue punched the strength tester.

Beep! Blood Qi test complete, 45.23 ka!

Beep! Punch strength 5398 kg!

Upon hearing her numbers, the female student's face broke into a confident smile as she strode down the stage.

51.23 ka already reaches the standard of late Third Realm.

And her punch strength far exceeds the standard for a Third‑Realm Martial Artist.

Below the stage, some people who knew the female student began to gossip.

"I know Guan Tian Yue; when she first came to the training camp, her Blood Qi was only 45 ka—has she improved this much?"

"She has lots of points and eats High-grade Demon Beast Meat every day—of course her progress is huge!"

This is also why they risk everything to enter the genius training camp.

No matter which cohort, as long as they graduate smoothly from the training camp, their strength will undergo a qualitative leap.

Zhu Xingyao continued shouting: "Next, Yao Rong!"

Bang!

As her voice fell, the sturdy Yao Rong leapt up and landed on the stage, shaking the ground with a tremor.

Beep! Blood Qi test complete, 65.72 ka!

Beep! Punch strength 8178 kg

Hiss...

The vast square echoed with successive gasps of cold air.

"No way, Yao Rong used to be a Third‑Realm Martial Artist, now she's a Fourth‑Realm Warrior?"

"Moreover, her punch strength is a bit exaggerated—does this still allow people to live?"

"As expected of a Talent Endowed, besides Lu Jing, probably no one has greater strength than her!"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Yao Rong curled the corner of her mouth and performed a bicep‑displaying move on stage.

Instantly drew a wave of boos.

During this period at the training camp, her supply of high‑grade Dan Medicine never really ran out.

Plus, soaking daily in the Pressure Test Room, her Blood Qi and strength shot up nonstop!

Yao Rong's gaze unconsciously fell on Lu Jing in the corner; the reason she trains so desperately is inseparable from that person.

It was Lu Jing's formidable strength that stimulated her.

In the Huangshen Forest, that final punch that blasted her away has become the scene she dreams of most during this period.

As a defensive‑type Talent Endowed, she hasn't been hit like that in many years.

Now thinking about it, it's actually quite pleasant......

Thinking of this, Yao Rong involuntarily let out a soft moan, her face instantly flushing.

She actually looks somewhat cute, which clashes starkly with her burly physique.

The crowd below wore looks of confusion.

Come on, your face is as red as a teapot!

Under puzzled gazes, Yao Rong covered their face and ran down.

Zhu Xingyao watched Yao Rong's figure, shook her head helplessly; she might be the only one here who understands Yao Rong.

"Next, Lu Jing!"

As Zhu Xingyao uttered Lu Jing's name, the whole venue fell silent in an instant.

Some even forgot to breathe.

Complex gazes pierced the crowd, landing on the boy at the back.

The boy was handsome and tall, and, facing everyone's stare, calmly walked onto the stage.

Lu Jing's first impression is peaceful and sunny, giving people the illusion of a boy‑next‑door.

If one hadn't seen him stride atop a giant dragon, with an unrivaled, invincible aura...

Lu Jing ignored the surrounding attention, took the blood‑collecting needle, rolled up his sleeve and stabbed it in.

Snap!

The sharp, hard blood‑collecting needle broke on the spot!

Lu Jing scratched his head, "Sorry, could you give me another to try?"

The staff member in charge of testing hurried forward and handed over a new blood‑collecting needle.

Lu Jing tried again, stabbing toward his fingertip.

Snap!

This time the needle snapped even cleaner, leaving no trace on his fingertip.

"Um..."

Lu Jing raised his hand and said with a smile, "I request a different blood‑collecting needle; this material simply can't pierce my skin."

When he said that, not only the trainees below were stunned, but even Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao wore looks of disbelief.

"Could you hurry, please?"

Lu Jing spoke calmly, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Zhu Xingyao and Dong Ningxue exchanged a glance, looking at each other.

The blood‑collecting needles given to these trainees are not made of ordinary material; they are forged from a special Xuan Iron, extremely costly and very sharp.

Skin of those below a Fifth Realm Warrior can be easily pierced; why does it fail on Lu Jing?

"Go, bring the golden blood‑collecting needle!"

"Yes!"

The staff member hurriedly ran down the stage.

In no time, they brought up a golden blood‑collecting needle.

"Here, this needle is for the martial instructor's test; it should be fine."

Lu Jing nodded, "Probably."

Whether it can actually pierce, he himself wasn't sure.
