Chapter 160: Rules? They're Meant to Be Broken!

"Never mind, since they're all suspects, let's find a way to kill them all......"

Ck—

"All participants are ready for this combat simulation; it's about to begin!"

At this moment, not only the over one‑billion viewers in Huaguo, but also overseas audiences are watching the live broadcast of this combat simulation.

And the candidates from their own country are naturally the focus of attention.

"The most exciting segment is here!"

"I don't know how Lu Jing's combat ability is, but I hope he can give those foreigners a good beating!"

"Come on, candidates of Huaguo!"

Suddenly, the live feed split into a small window showing information on the top ten candidates.

【Lu Jing, Blood Qi rank #1!】

At the same time, a calm‑faced youth appeared on the screen, fists clenched, waiting for the official start of the test.

"Look, it's Lu Jing!"

Lu Jing's appearance caused a wave of excitement among Huaguo viewers.

"Lu Jing, my superhero!"

"So this is the person who ranked first in Blood Qi, huh? Doesn't look particularly special, covered up so tightly you can't even see the face."

"What could be special about a strong person? Do they need an extra hand or something?"

Next, the screen switched to Ni Chang Sha Na, who ranked second in the Blood Qi test.

Ni Chang Sha Na wore dazzlingly bright clothes and a faintly visible flawless beauty, attracting many eyes.

"Wow, this girl is so beautiful, I'm ready to defect."

"Indeed beautiful, with an indescribable charm!"

In the frame, Ni Chang Sha Na lightly brushed her hands, and a golden beetle crawled out from her body.

Soon, a swarm of insects gathered before her, and a golden giant python spitting a pearl coiled on her shoulder.

"So terrifying."

"So it's a snake‑scorpion beauty......"

"Brothers, I like it even more!"

Besides some jokers, others pointed out Ni Chang Sha Na's talent for summoning insects: "She must be a Talent Endowed, a branch of the Beast‑taming line, able to control insects!"

The screen changes again.

A figure wearing a ghost‑face mask appeared, a long samurai sword hanging at the waist, and strangely, his silhouette vanished from the screen.

"Someone from Fu Shi Guo can actually become invisible!"

"I like that talent."

"Fu Shi Guo loves these sneaky little attacks!"

Next, Huaguo candidates Si Kong Jian and Zhang Baichuan also appeared on the screen.

Their appearance again drew cheers from the crowd.

As a hidden‑world Martial Way family prodigy, they enjoy great popularity.

Si Kong Jian is surrounded by lightning, like a Thunder General.

Zhang Baichuan bears a long sword, exuding a pressing sword aura.

"Si Kong Jian and Zhang Baichuan look far more reliable than Lu Jing."

"Indeed, these two come from Martial Way families; their foundation is deep, beyond ordinary Martial Artists. In real combat, both could fight above their level!"

Many on the field favor Si Kong Jian and Zhang Baichuan.

"Where did Dong Ge come from? People from Martial Way families can fight above their level, but Lu Jing can't?"

"The Blood Qi gap is right there; as long as Lu Jing doesn't flop in combat, he'll definitely win steadily!"

At this moment, the combat simulation officially begins, the screen cycling through candidates in battle.

"Just follow the route, right?"

Lu Jing looked at the arrow that suddenly appeared on the road and strode forward.

Roar—

A roar came from the bushes ahead.

Lu Jing's spiritual force spread forward, and a fourth‑grade Demon Beast appeared ahead.

"Starting with a fourth‑grade Demon Beast Wasteland Wolf, interesting......"

Lu Jing kept his pace, making no move.

As he approached, his spiritual force converged and pressed toward the Wasteland Wolf.

Pfft!

The car‑sized Wasteland Wolf was first deformed by a pair of invisible hands, then its body burst open, scattering into a blood mist.

This is the horror of heightened spiritual force—killing truly from the unseen.

"I wonder how many Demon Beasts were set along the way; let's finish quickly."

Lu Jing thought to himself and quickened his stride.

Soon, the ground ahead rose, and a red‑eyed rock mouse charged at him.

Lu Jing simply vaulted over; the rock mice exploded one after another, blood staining the ground red.

The path was like a hot knife through bamboo; these Demon Beasts couldn't hinder Lu Jing's steps at all.

Not only Lu Jing was this effortless, other top‑ranked candidates also faced virtually no pressure.

Everyone gave their all, with no reserve.

The speed was so fast that the viewers watching the livestream couldn't help but gasp.

"They're just too strong! Before, just looking at their Blood Qi values didn't feel like much, but now seeing them slay Demon Beasts so easily, I finally realize how terrifying their strength is!"

"Yeah, in less than half an hour, these top-ten ranked people have already covered one-fifth of the route."

Just then, Alex's figure flashed, not following the regular route but sprinting sideways toward the other side.

"Hey, look, what is that Yingguo person going to do!"

"Holy shit, where's the referee? Someone's not following the rules!"

"The rules didn't say you can't go out of bounds, but everyone's racing against time—who would voluntarily leave the route!"

Alex, his whole body wrapped in golden light, was fast; before long he had already encountered two Huaguo examinees.

But after just a glance, he lost interest.

His target was only the top-ranked Lu Jing, Sikong Jian, Zhang BaiChuan, and others.

Soon, a flash of lightning ahead caught his attention.

"If I remember correctly, Huaguo's Sikong Jian has a lightning affinity..."

Alex licked his lips, instantly changed direction, and rushed toward the spot where the lightning flashed.

At this moment, Sikong Jian held a double-handed sword, its blade crackling with lightning, even his eyes inhaling and exhaling electric light.

His arms bulged with muscle, the double-handed sword whistled through the air, and he chopped off the head of the Demon Beast before him.

Whoosh—

"The further ahead, the higher the Demon Beast's level—I don't know where Lu Jing has rushed to now."

Just as he was about to continue forward, suddenly a sense of danger welled up in his chest.

"What the hell, is it a Demon Beast?"

Sikong Jian's expression changed slightly, he gripped his double-handed sword, and took a defensive stance.

The next moment, a golden light struck like lightning.

Boom—

Sikong Jian was blown back tens of meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood in midair.

But he quickly adjusted his posture, landed firmly on the ground, planted his double-handed sword into the earth to stop his retreat.

"You...... Alex? Not following your own route, what's the meaning of ambushing me!"

Sikong Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, coldly staring at Alex not far away.

"Haha, can't I just be lost? Even if I'm eliminated, I'll still drag you down with me!"

Having said that, without giving Sikong Jian a chance to catch his breath, golden light burst from his body, making him look like a Saiyan.
