Chapter 134: The Final Stage

Can it defend against all attacks below the Wu Zong Realm?

Situjun nodded, "Looks like this kid's strength will be wasted......"

The crowd chattered, and Ping Zhilei's expression gradually eased.

As long as we stall a bit longer, Jian Ying will be able to stand on the same starting line as him.

"What's inside is a sixth-level late-stage aberration beast; the armored door's defense definitely needs to be high!"

"Then Lu Jing wouldn't just be doing useless work, would he?"

The instructors present watched with interest as Lu Jing pounded the armored door with punch after punch.

Only Dong Ningxue had a complex expression, wanting to speak but unsure whether to do so.

Lu Jing possessed Grandmaster-level punching power; back then, that one punch blew up the machine testing punching force.

That machine also promised to withstand attacks below the Wu Zong Realm...

So what happened...

As expected, it didn't surprise her.

Before Dong Ningxue could come to her senses, a huge roar came from the display!

Bang!

The screen was instantly covered in smoke and dust, and the sound of Lu Jing's punches ceased.

Once the smoke cleared, Lu Jing's figure gradually emerged.

And the armored door that was claimed to defend against all attacks below the Wu Zong Realm collapsed with a crash!

"???"

"I just blinked, and the armored door fell over?"

Exclamations of surprise filled the venue!

Even Situjun wore a look of surprise, frowning as he said, "Play back the footage!"

Situjun's voice unconsciously rose several notches.

Soon, the footage of Lu Jing's final punch returned to the screen.

All that could be seen was the boy's calm face; his earlier punches had little effect.

He suddenly assumed a fighting stance, and his aura shifted instantly!

Immovable King Sutra, tripled power!

Though still and unmoving, yet an invisible breath surged from all directions.

These breaths surged like a tide into his right fist, merging with his mighty Blood Qi and vast Fist Intent!

A great sun of condensed Blood Qi rose from behind Lu Jing!

Scorching, overbearing, unsurpassable!

One punch, and all methods are destroyed!

Like a nuclear bomb exploding, it twisted and deformed the air!

Even before the punch contacted it, the armored door ahead already showed cracks!

Immediately after.

Boom——

The armored door, upon which great hopes were placed, instantly turned to dust!

After throwing the punch, Lu Jing lowered his fist and stood, exhaling a long breath of foul air.

Then he strode toward the final stage.

Inside the meeting room.

Dead silence!

After a moment, a cry of shock rang out.

"The armored door just... "

"This kid just smashed the armored door with a single punch?!"

While Situjun watched Lu Jing's figure, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he could no longer control his emotions.

He leaned forward, muttering, "This punch carries the might of a Grandmaster!"

"Hahaha, great kid!"

Situjun stood up, laughing loudly, "An eighteen-year-old half-step Grandmaster—give him a little more time, and he might yet become a true Dragon Imperial; our Huaguo has successors!"

Situjun's laughter filled the whole meeting room, bringing back to their senses some instructors still lost in shock.

Their heads buzzed in confusion, having lost the ability to think.

Compared to the others, Dong Ningxue remained much calmer, for she had long anticipated this outcome.

However, her tightly clenched fist kept trembling, proving her inner excitement was equally uncontainable!

Lu Jing...

I never expected that East River Province would actually produce a genius like Lu Jing!

Since the Dragon Imperial New Star selection began, East River Province has always been just a runner‑up; that title has become her distant, unattainable dream.

And now Lu Jing is helping her realize that dream!

"Lu Jing, keep going—just the final stage left..."

"No wonder he's going alone to challenge that sixth‑level late‑stage aberration beast..."

An instructor couldn't help but say, "With that kind of punching power, he naturally needs no one's help."

"Yeah, I didn't expect he'd been holding back before—this kid... is terrifying!"

Meanwhile.

Lu Jing finally saw the sixth-level strange beast of the final gate.

His pupils contracted sharply, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

This final gate's strange beast is really weird!

All that could be seen in this sealed, specially made room was a monster with a wolf's head and a human body sitting cross-legged.

This monster gave Lu Jing the feeling of being more like a person than a strange beast!

Howl——

The strange beast opened its blood-red eyes, let out a hiss at Lu Jing, and its eyes actually held human-like hatred and viciousness.

The next moment.

The wolf-headed strange beast suddenly drew the crescent blade at its side and rushed forward.

A fishy wind assailed the nose, a foul stench struck the face!

Lu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he drew the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword from his waist.

Ding!

The Thousand-Blade Demon Sword and the crescent blade clashed, producing a continuously expanding wave of qi that made the blood-fiend mist filling the room surge and roll!

Crack——

The sword case opened, and three flying swords shot out in a line.

Lu Jing didn't hold back; right from the start he used his mental power to control the flying swords to attack the wolf-headed strange beast.

Puchi!

Puchi!

Sword gleams streaked across the wolf-headed strange beast's body.

In pain, the strange beast weakened its grip, allowing Lu Jing to gain the upper hand.

Taking the opportunity, Lu Jing lifted his foot and kicked straight, sending the wolf-headed strange beast stumbling back several steps.

"This strange beast has such strong power and defense......"

Lu Jing's kick used all his strength; although it wasn't as heavy as a punch, it was enough to split gold and break stone.

Yet the strange beast that took the kick seemed completely unharmed.

Howl!

The strange beast was obviously enraged by Lu Jing; it waved the crescent blade in its hand, knocking each of the Minyinfeijian flying swords out of the air.

Afterwards, it gripped the blade with both hands and charged at Lu Jing.

"You like to clash head-on, huh!"

Lu Jing didn't choose to dodge; he likewise gripped his sword and rushed forward.

Boom——

The two blades met, and the ground beneath the man and beast instantly cracked.

This specially made floor could no longer withstand their attacks.

At this moment, Lu Jing's black disheveled hair flew wildly, golden light surged over his body, resembling a divine martial general!

He sheathed his blade then slashed again; the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword tore through the air with a piercing wail, heading straight for the strange beast's neck.

However, the wolf-headed strange beast was clearly battle-hardened; at the moment the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword was about to arrive, it precisely blocked with the long blade in its hand.

Ding!

A clear, metallic clash of weapons.

Lu Jing's gaze locked onto the bloodthirsty wolf-headed strange beast, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword disintegrated, bypassing the crescent blade to slash again at the strange beast's neck.

At the same time, a sky-full of sword blades came rushing toward him.

The wolf-headed strange beast's pupils narrowed slightly, and its skull tilted at an extremely strange angle to the side.

Puchi!

This sure-kill move was actually dodged by it!

The Thousand-Blade Demon Sword only managed to cut its shoulder.

While dodging, the wolf-headed strange beast lowered its body and rolled, also evading the incoming sword blades.
