Chapter 168: Martial Top Scholar

Clang!

A piercing sword sound followed.

Lu Jing had already appeared ten meters behind Niangchang Shana.

The Thousand-Blade Demon Sword, which had remained sheathed in his hand, was somehow already drawn, its bright silver blade stained with vivid red.

"You......"

Niangchang Shana's eyes first showed doubt, then turned to surprise, and finally froze in fear.

A blood line appeared on her abdomen, continuously expanding.

Thud——

Niangchang Shana's body split in two at the blood line, the upper half collapsing to the ground!

"Phew——"

Hearing the thud behind him, Lu Jing let out a breath.

Finally, it was over.

This move is a newly developed technique of his, combining burning power with the speed and strength boosts from the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique and the Immovable King Sutra, plus a drawing slash condensed with all Blade Intent.

This move's power is enormous; it is the strongest slash he can currently unleash.

It can inflict devastating damage on enemies in a straight line ahead!

Moreover, it is extremely fast, leaving enemies no time to react.

Whether facing a single foe or a group, this move is very useful, though it requires charging beforehand and is easily interrupted during the process.

At the same time, this move consumes a great deal, placing a heavy burden on the body; with his current stamina, he can use it at most three times in a row.

Clang——

In the image, the tall youth lightly flicked the blood off his long blade, then sheathed it.

A cold wind blew, lifting the youth's black bangs on his forehead to reveal his calm, deep eyes.

At this moment.

Outside, billions of Huaguo viewers were stunned into silence by the recent scene.

First, Niangchang Shana transformed, emitting a destructive deathly light.

This forced Lu Jing to keep retreating, seeming on the verge of defeat.

But in the blink of an eye, Lu Jing found Niangchang Shana's opening, and after charging, he killed her with a single slash!

All of this happened so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

"What's going on? I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I turned off the stream, and in less than a minute Lu Jing had killed her!"

"Lu Jing is truly too strong—not only is his talent near monstrous, but his combat skills are flawless!"

"As expected of Huaguo's genius, once he goes all out, no one can stop him!"

"You up there, how can you be sure Lu Jing used his full strength? Maybe this isn't even his limit."

In today's practical simulation, Lu Jing's trump cards kept appearing; the stronger the opponent, the stronger he became—speed, physique, defense, Fist Intent, Blade Intent, spiritual talent, and swordsmanship...

His performance led everyone to think that Lu Jing's trump cards seemed endless; even if a stronger opponent appeared, he could still easily slay them!

With Niangchang Shana's death, only Lu Jing remained alive on the Primordial Island.

"Congratulations, examinee Lu Jing, for successfully passing the final stage of the practical simulation!"

Lu Jing only heard that announcement before his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

At the same time.

In the comprehensive scoring center of the Martial Exam practical simulation test.

Dozens of staff members watched the successful Lu Jing, their faces filled with shock and helplessness.

Their job is, after the practical simulation ends, to calculate examinees' scores based on their combat skills, time to enter the central area, and various other factors.

Normally, the scores could be calculated as soon as the practical simulation ended, but now a special situation has arisen.

In the history of the Martial Exam practical simulation, such a situation with Lu Jing has never occurred before.

One person killed over a dozen examinees ranked in the top fifty, and his combat skills were all perfect scores.

Furthermore, Lu Jing's final drawing slash added to the score a terrifying value.

This situation is simply unprecedented.

Thus, the scoring machine remained stuck, and Lu Jing's score had exceeded the limit.

"What do we do? The machine has been jammed here for half a day—how are we supposed to give the examinees their scores?"

The staff members gathered together and reported this information to their superiors.

Finally, after discussion by the higher-ups, they directly gave Lu Jing a perfect score!

A moment later.

On the various live broadcast screens, the score ranking for this Martial Exam appeared.

【First place: Lu Jing, first in Blood Qi testing, full marks in the practical simulation, overall ranking first!】

【Second place: Niangchang Shana, second in Blood Qi testing, 89 points in the practical simulation, overall ranking second!】

【Third place: Yàlìkèsī......】

【Fourth place: Zhúxià Yīláng......】

Countless viewers waiting in front of their screens for the Martial Exam results instantly erupted.

"Lu Jing is indeed the Martial Top Scholar!"

"Truly deserved!"

"Huaguo's hope!"

Besides Lu Jing securing first place with overwhelming scores, the top hundred list also showed other changes.

Zhang BaiChuan and Sikong Jian were killed midway by foreign geniuses, so they didn't reach the central area, therefore their scores were low.

If it weren't for Lu Jing, the top five of this list would all be occupied by foreign geniuses.

Besides that, many other Huaguo examinees, thanks to their outstanding performance in the combat simulation, successfully made it into the top fifty.

This is also thanks to Lu Jing and Zhang BaiChuan drawing fire from those people.

Ultimately, in the martial exam total rankings, Huaguo examinees occupied seventy spots, and the results were fairly ideal.

In a mysterious place.

Senior officials from Eagle Country, Fuji Country, and other nations gathered together.

Their auras were extremely terrifying, all possessing strength far surpassing the Lord Realm.

"Ni Chang Sha Na and they actually failed......"

Eagle Country's senior official sighed and said.

"Ni Chang Sha Na's strength is already comparable to a Grandmaster, and after transformation she is even above a Grandmaster, yet I didn't expect she would still lose to Huaguo's Dragon Imperial New Star......"

Fuji Country's senior official stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "It seems this person named Lu Jing is the one foretold in the prophecy; he will definitely pose a great threat to us in the future!"

"Well, this time we also gained something; at the very least we confirmed his identity. Let Ni Chang Sha Na stay in Huaguo for now, and later assign her a mission!"

Dongchuan Province.

Inside the combat simulation room.

Lu Jing regained consciousness and sat up from the simulation cabin.

After pushing open the door, the outside was already crowded with staff.

Xu Xingwu and Ye Hongyun, the President of the Martial Association of Dongchuan Province, were also waiting outside.

They were each excited, yet they struggled to restrain themselves, avoiding making noise that would disturb Lu Jing's simulation.

Upon seeing Lu Jing come out, they all brightened up and shouted.

"Lu Jing has come out!"

"Martial Top Scholar Lu Jing!"

Ye Hongyun walked over, wearing a smile of admiration and enthusiasm, "Lu Jing, congratulations, you scored full marks on the simulation test and will be recorded in the annals!"

"Lu Jing, you really did it!"

Xu Xingwu's face flushed red with excitement, to the point of almost triggering his high blood pressure.
