Chapter 133: What Is Dragon Imperial?

"Hmm, I've already seen it."

Situjun nodded, shifting his gaze from Lu Jing's screen to the lone blood‑filled screen hanging on the opposite wall.

On that screen, thick blood‑red filled everywhere, and a wolf‑headed humanoid monster stared expressionlessly toward the camera.

At the same time.

Jian Ying was still fiercely battling in the Sixth Stage.

Using the numerical advantage formed by the shadows, he successfully slew all five aberration beasts.

But his condition wasn't great either—his face was pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he bore multiple wounds.

"These damned beasts!"

Jian Ying cursed under his breath.

Just as he was slaying the third aberration beast, he was injured by its life‑for‑life attack.

"This Sixth Stage is already this hard—what level of aberration beast will the Seventh Stage be?"

"Or first recover *** power, I am the strongest existence among this batch of talents; the officials surely designed the stage based on my strength as a template, so there shouldn't be any big problem......"

Thinking of that, Jian Ying sat cross‑legged, took out something resembling a vial from his bosom, and drank it.

Meanwhile, Fan Kong had actually cleared the Sixth Stage before Jian Ying and arrived at the Seventh Stage.

Seeing the weapon‑wielding sixth‑stage aberration beast before him, he exhaled without changing his expression.

"Amitabha, it seems I must use that ability to pass this stage......"

The next moment, he took off his clothes and neatly placed them aside.

He gripped a wooden stick in his right hand, made a fist with his left, and repeatedly pounded his chest with his fists.

Thud—thud—thud—

As he kept pounding like that, his whole body took on a visible layer of blood‑red at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

Immediately, his blood‑qi began to boil, and the hair on his body grew wildly.

Once the pounding sounds inside the stage faded, Fan Kong's figure had vanished.

All that remained was a roughly five‑meter‑tall ape‑like monster wrapped in blood‑red, and not far ahead, the sixth‑stage aberration beast.

Compared to that aberration beast, Fan Kong was even more terrifying at this moment!

At that moment, all participants in the selection heard the announcement coming from their wristbands.

"A participant has cleared the Seventh Stage and reached the Final Stage!"

"Please, the remaining participants, speed up—the Final Stage requires at least three people to arrive simultaneously before it can be opened!"

The hearing geniuses all froze for a moment.

Some geniuses who had just reached the Third Stage sat on the ground with listless faces, devoid of will to live.

"What the heck is this? I've only made it to the Third Stage, and he's already cleared the Seventh Stage—can the gap between geniuses really be this huge?"

After the announcement ended, many people voluntarily chose to give up.

Sitting cross‑legged, Jian Ying suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of disbelief flashing in his gaze.

"Who on earth is he? Even if he's strong enough, doesn't he need to rest?"

"Is it that monk?"

"Or is it that dark horse from Valley West Province?"

Jian Ying's heart pounded wildly, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

His stamina had only just recovered halfway; he stared at the armored door leading to the Seventh Stage, gritted his teeth, and went forward.

"Maybe the Seventh Stage aberration beast is easy to beat; otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Anyway, there are still two slots—if I make it in time, I still have a chance at the Dragon Imperial New Star!"

The armored door slowly opened, and Jian Ying's face showed resolve and decisiveness!

However, the moment he saw the sixth‑stage aberration beast in the darkness, the color drained from his face.

"A sixth‑stage aberration beast......"

On the other side, Fan Kong's eyes were bloodshot as he grappled with the aberration beast.

If it weren't for the faint hint of a human face visible on him, one couldn't tell who was the real aberration beast.

A sudden jolt from his wristband made his blood‑filled eyes clear a little.

Gradually, Fan Kong's attacks became more orderly, and he quickly seized the upper hand.

"Has someone already reached the final stage......? No matter who it is, it doesn't matter—as long as I give it my all!"

Outside the Cave.

Inside the conference room.

"This kid Lu Jing is not bad—his physique is formidable, his mental power is flawless, and what's even rarer is his character!"

Situjun praised without reservation: "This time the title of Dragon Imperial New Star truly belongs to Lu Jing!"

The instructors below murmured in agreement, nodding along.

Only Ping Zhilei looked anxious, watching Jian Ying flounder and dodge in the Seventh Stage, unable to stay seated.

"Lord Seat, this selection isn't over yet—isn't there still an Eighth Stage? Don't jump to conclusions so quickly; give others a chance!"

As soon as she said that, Ping Zhilei regretted it a little.

By saying that, wasn't she publicly questioning Situjun's decision?

But having come this far, she could only grit her teeth and stand there.

"The Eighth Stage?"

Situjun looked at the screen occupying a whole wall on its own and said, "That's the final stage you set up, right?"

The deputy officer hurriedly reported: "Yes, Lord Seat, this stage contains the king of the aberration beast tribe—a late‑sixth‑stage aberration beast!"

He hadn't finished speaking when a gasp rang out from inside the conference room.

This kid seems to have some other ideas!

What is he trying to do, challenging that sixth-level late-stage aberration beast alone?!

The deputy officer looked up and saw Lu Jing actually walk up to the armored door of the eighth level on his own initiative, pounding it with punch after punch.

Lord Seat, isn't Lu Jing being too arrogant, completely disregarding authority?

Ping Zhilei found an opportunity, quickly stood up and said: "The final level is clearly meant to test their unity and leadership, yet Lu Jing actually wants to forcefully challenge it alone!"

Ping Zhilei originally thought Situjun would be furious and order it stopped, but unexpectedly......

Good, I like this kid even more!

Situjun laughed heartily, his eyes full of praise: "Daring to challenge authority, unafraid of difficulties and obstacles, doesn't our Huaguo's Dragon Imperial New Star need such a spirit?"

This......

Ping Zhilei looked dazed, not knowing what to say.

Situjun's face glowed red; he really liked this kid a lot!

From the youth's body, Situjun saw his own reflection.

What is Dragon Imperial?

Dragon Imperial means to break all shackles and rise to the challenge!

How strong is the armored door of the eighth level?

Situjun watched as the armored door kept producing loud bangs under Lu Jing's bombardment, his eyelids twitching.

Report to Lord Seat, the armored door of the final level can withstand all attacks below the Wu Zong Realm; that is, as long as one is not a Grandmaster, it cannot be opened!

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Can it withstand all attacks below the Wu Zong Realm?
