Chapter 221: Reaching the Summit!

Everyone's gaze was focused on the big screen, even NieZhenghao felt his heart sway, and he subconsciously held his breath.

Finally, that dazzling name began to change.

【Lu Jing, current floor: fifty-one.】

"We are champions!"

"The record has been broken again, I'm numb......"

"This is an unprecedented feat, Lu Jing will surely go down in history!"

Endless praise and admiration swirled around the entire Ultimate Tower.

NieZhenghao took a deep breath, excitement flashing in his eyes.

He will witness the rise of an era, an era belonging solely to Lu Jing!

Five minutes earlier.

Inside the Ultimate Tower.

Boom—

Lu Jing leapt up like a falling meteor, his fists crashing down, striking Zhang Mufu.

This terrifying power made even the void tremble!

Zhang Mufu blocked with his energy longsword, but the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, causing his entire lower leg to sink into the earth, rendering him immobile.

"Not bad defense, and you have a terrifying natural talent......"

This was Lu Jing's evaluation of the man before him, and some memories of Zhang Mufu surged to his mind.

"Zhang Mufu, at age sixteen in the first year of the Martial Way,"

"at twenty he cultivated Gang Qi and comprehended Sword Intent."

"at twenty-three he entered the Master realm, and at twenty-eight he broke through to Grand Master!"

"and he awakened a natural lightning talent, his speed extremely fast, even capable of short-distance instantaneous movement......"

"He's indeed strong, but if I had been born in your era, you could only be the runner-up!"

Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, the prolonged battle filling him with unrestrained killing intent, arrogant and domineering.

Hum—

His Blood Qi surged within, endless power flowing into his right fist.

"Let's see how many strikes you can withstand!"

Boom—

Boom—

Each of Lu Jing's punches was like detonating a nuclear bomb.

Zhang Mufu used his talent to dodge the first punch, but the following attacks slammed heavily into him.

"Ah!"

After the frantic barrage, Zhang Mufu's body turned into a shower of light that fell from the sky.

"Exhale—"

Lu Jing shook his trembling right hand; the trembling wasn't from exhaustion but from overwhelming excitement.

"Next is the fifty-first floor."

When Lu Jing arrived at the fifty-first floor, he found the Ultimate Tower empty.

"Congratulations, student Lu Jing, for successfully summiting the Ultimate Tower, breaking the historical record, and earning the reward!"

An ancient, weathered voice echoed throughout Mufu Martial University, reverberating without cease, long lingering.

Outside the Ultimate Tower.

Heads bobbed, wave after wave like a tide.

Everyone heard that ancient, simple voice like a great bell.

But it caused no commotion; instead, the entire campus fell into an eerie silence, only that voice echoing.

Everyone looked dazed, as if drifting in a dream.

This is because too many things happened today, Lu Jing repeatedly pushing beyond their limits.

After the nerves endure too much fright and impact, they temporarily lose the ability to respond.

This is also a kind of self-protection mechanism of the brain.

It's like a computer processor overloaded, crashing outright.

After a while.

The voice circling above faded away.

Someone was the first to awaken from the dazed state.

"Holy crap, what voice!"

"Could this be Zhang Mufu Longyu's voice? Has Lu Jing summited?!"

"So the fiftieth floor is the last floor; once you clear it, it's over?"

"Turns out the Ultimate Tower has fifty floors; if it weren't for Lu Jing, I'd never know in my lifetime!"

At this moment.

Everyone discussed because of that voice.

Some were stunned, some surprised, some excited to the point of their chests heaving violently.

"Look quick, Lu Jing has come out!"

"Holy crap, it's him, it's Lu Jing!!"

A few seconds later, the crowd's gaze shifted from the big screen to the exit of the Ultimate Tower.

Only see a youth slowly stepping out, golden battle armor shimmering around his body, behind him a Bright King phantom constantly rising and falling, around him hung a crescent moon and a few stars.

Within his pupils, golden light surged.

The youth bathed in everyone's shocked gaze, his face calm as before, showing no emotion.

"Lu Jing!"

"Lu Jing!"

Everyone present was shocked by the youth's apparition, and they involuntarily shouted Lu Jing's name.

What happened today will be unforgettable for them for a lifetime.

At this moment, Lu Jing had risen from being a student to becoming the object of faith at the Shogunate Martial University.

And his deeds will be passed down through generation after generation at this school.

Lu Jing was not surprised by this scene before him; he had already sensed everything with his mental power back when he was inside the gate.

He looked at those eyes filled with excitement and admiration, slightly nodded, and raised his palm.

The shouting ceased instantly, and the entire plaza fell silent.

These overly excited students, because of a single gesture from Lu Jing, collectively closed their mouths.

"Brother Lu!"

Just as Lu Jing gathered his thoughts, preparing to walk out.

Ma Houshi waddled over from the crowd, his chubby face flushed with excitement.

"Hehe, Brother Lu, you've worked hard!"

Ma Houshi handed over a bottle of water, rubbing his hands together like a fly, his face full of smugness.

With so many students surrounding him, I'm the only one who can step forward to speak to Brother Lu; as the little master, I have plenty of face.

This is the benefit of clinging to a big thigh; at least I've got this prestige down pat.

"Mm, let's go."

Lu Jing took the water bottle, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

"Brother Lu, where are we going?"

"To the cafeteria."

"Huh?"

Ma Houshi was a bit puzzled.

"Let's go eat, idiot; if we delay any longer we'll miss mealtime."

Lu Jing tossed the empty water bottle to Ma Houshi and strode out.

"Lu Jing, give me an autograph!"

"Lu Jing, do you have a girlfriend?!"

As Lu Jing approached, the students went crazy, making way while tightly following him.

"Lu Jing, come to my office after you eat!"

NieZhenghao's booming voice rang out, instantly drowning out the noisy shouts.

Lu Jing's eyes shifted, and he looked to the side.

Upon seeing it was the vice principal, he nodded.

Even if NieZhenghao didn't seek him out, he would take the initiative to ask about the rewards of the Ultimate Tower.

After reaching the summit, the reward mentioned by that voice is certainly not something ordinary.

Lu Jing speculated that it was likely related to the inheritance of the Zhang Shogunate.

Second Cafeteria of the Shogunate Martial University.

Inside a small private room, two men and two women sat around a table chatting.

"Happy birthday!"

Lu Jing smiled and offered his blessings.

"Yueyue, happy birthday! Look what this is!"

Jiang Fanxin took out an exquisitely wrapped cake from behind her.

Ma Houshi then shoved the paper crown that came with the cake into Lu Jing's hands and gave him a wink.

Lu Jing took the crown and personally placed it on Leng Yueyue's head.

"Thank you!"

Leng Yueyue clasped her hands together, tears glimmering at the corners of her eyes, "Thank you all."
