Chapter 156: Suppressing the Petty Troublemakers

Just as Lu Jing was waiting for the test, the outside was already in an uproar.

As long as you turn on the TV, you can see the livestream of this Martial Way exam.

And in the upper right corner of the screen, a Blood Qi ranking was displayed.

This is the national top 100 ranking!

The names of the vast majority of people couldn't even stay for 0.1 seconds before being instantly brushed away.

After half an hour, the top of the ranking gradually stabilized, while the names at the bottom kept changing.

Now the student ranked 100th has 62 points of Blood Qi, a four-realm warrior, and in the national Martial Way exam they can barely make the list!

At this very moment, the number of people watching the livestream has exceeded one billion.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on the changes of the top 100 ranking.

"This year's examinees are generally very strong!"

"I also noticed that, in just half an hour, four-realm warriors can only be at the bottom—it's terrifying."

"If it weren't for the Martial Way exam, I wouldn't have known our country had so many heaven-defying geniuses!"

At the same time, inside an examination hall.

A sturdy-built man with blue eyes and blond hair completed the Blood Qi test.

The proctor beside him stared at his results, unable to help widening his eyes.

The Blood Qi top 100 ranking changed again, and a name suddenly rose to the top.

【Name: Alex】

【Age: 19】

【Blood Qi: 81.33】

【Rank: First!】

When Alex's name appeared, viewers across the country guarding the livestream room were both shocked and doubtful.

"The first place has changed, and the Blood Qi actually broke through 80—it's terrifying!"

"This person's name seems off—maybe they're not from our Huaguo?!"

"Quick, look at the Eagle Country TV station—they're interviewing this Alex!"

As soon as Alex stepped out of the examination hall, he was surrounded by Eagle Country reporters who had been ready for a round of interviews.

"Alex, regarding the Martial Way exam hosted by Huaguo, do you have anything to say?"

Alex shrugged, his proud hooked nose letting out a disdainful snort: "Hmph, it's too simple, with no challenge at all!"

Alex's arrogant remarks immediately drew a wave of criticism.

"Can't you just get out? Are you bullying our Huaguo because we have no one?"

"It's so embarrassing—our country's Martial Way exam top spot was actually taken by a foreigner!"

Just as everyone was discussing, the top 100 ranking changed again.

【Name: Sikong Jian】

【Age: 18】

【Blood Qi: 85.72】

【Rank: First!】

"That person's rank was surpassed—first place is now our Huaguo person!"

"Great, let's see how arrogant that kid can still be!"

"Hahaha, I know this Sikong Jian—he's a genius from our province, awesome!"

Just as countless people across the country were happy about Sikong Jian's results, the top 100 ranking changed again.

【Name: Takeuchi Ichiro】

【Age: 18】

【Blood Qi: 89.02】

【Rank: First!】

When Takeuchi Ichiro's name appeared, it undoubtedly sparked discussion again.

"This name must be from Fuji Country!"

"I have to say, this person is incredibly strong—nearly 90 Blood Qi at eighteen!"

"Could they have started training from the womb?"

While Huaguo was in an uproar, on the livestream websites of distant Eagle Country and Fuji Country, countless local viewers were also watching.

After seeing their own country's Alex and Takeuchi Ichiro take first place, the on-screen comments were all cheers.

They even began publicly mocking on the foreign internet.

"It's laughable—Huaguo's Martial Way exam top three actually has two foreigners!"

"This is the funniest thing I've encountered this year!"

"Huaguo is truly done—I heard their Longyu is also old, now facing a situation with no successors."

Being slapped in the face like this, even Huaguo officials couldn't sit still.

They all stepped forward to ban violative remarks.

Huaguo's highest department.

Inside the emergency meeting room.

The huge room was filled with dozens of people.

"We urgently need a Martial Way genius to step up and shut these people up!"

"But it's not that easy—they came prepared, selecting the strongest geniuses from their own countries!"

"What are we supposed to do?! We usually don't hold back on resources for you, and now not even a single genius can step up?"

Situjun, seated in the back row, rose calmly and said, "Everyone, don't panic. Remember there's still one person who hasn't been tested; once they appear, they will surely suppress these external enemies!"

"Are you referring to… this year's Dragon Imperial New Star?"

"Exactly, it's Lu Jing!"

Inside Anwu City's gymnasium, after the brief incident, the Blood Qi test continued.

At that moment, a student stepped forward, raised a hand, and said, "Proctor, I have a question!"

"What's wrong, have you also taken prohibited substances?"

"I just took a Dan Medicine that hasn't been released for production; will I be judged as violating?"

The proctor shook his head, "Don't worry, only substances specifically listed by the state as prohibited count as violations; other supplements are fine."

The student who stepped forward breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them, and returned to the line.

Soon, it was Lu Jing's turn for testing.

All the proctors and testing staff present fixed their gaze on Lu Jing.

Not because they knew Lu Jing, but because his aura and appearance among the students were like fireflies, drawing attention.

"Come, extend your hand."

The one testing Lu Jing was a masked girl, speaking very gently.

Lu Jing hesitated briefly and said, "My skin is rather thick; perhaps we should use a better blood‑drawing needle."

"What?"

The girl blinked, a little puzzled, and said, "What are you saying? This blood‑drawing needle can pierce the defenses of the Wu Zong Realm; can it still not be used for your test?"

She then took Lu Jing's hand and aimed the needle at his index finger.

Crunch—

The sturdy blood‑drawing needle snapped in response.

"Hey, what's happening?"

The girl's face was shocked; when the needle touched Lu Jing's skin, it felt as if it were stabbing steel.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? Speed up, there are many candidates behind you!"

The proctor beside them urged.

"Alright, I'll swap another and try..."

The girl furrowed her brows, seriously replaced the needle, and tried again to pierce Lu Jing's finger.

To avoid the needle breaking again, she proceeded very carefully this time, moving slowly.

However, no matter how she stabbed, she could not pierce Lu Jing's skin.

"You're a master? That's impossible!"

The girl, holding the blood‑drawing needle, looked at a loss.

"What's wrong?"

The proctor walked over.

"I don't know what's happening; the needle won't penetrate his skin..."

The girl hurriedly explained, her face anxious.

"Oh?"

The proctor looked at Lu Jing, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
