Chapter 247: Soaring to the Heavens

Yeah, where is that Lu Jing? Come out quickly!

They're eating in the cafeteria, why are you Yanghai Martial University students in a hurry?

They're just eager to lose, haha!

After hearing the news, many students from nearby schools rushed over immediately, coming specifically to watch Lu Jing charge the tower.

Still eating in the cafeteria, really not putting us in their eyes......

Never mind Lu Jing for now, where are our tower defenders? I haven't seen a single one!

The Yanghai Martial University students grew anxious, discovering that none of the several upperclassmen ranked high had come.

Don't bother looking, even Feng Zichang lost so miserably—who else do you expect to come?!

Exactly, I think Feng Zichang won't come; no one would willingly offer their face to be hit......

The Shogunate Martial University also seemed destined to lose at first, but eventually a Lu Jing emerged to turn the tide—why doesn't our school have someone like that?

Someone resentfully voiced the doubt in their heart.

As soon as that was said, many people snorted in disdain.

That Lu Jing has been crushing everyone all the way, showing sharpness since the martial exam—where would our school find such a dark horse?

Just then, a youth with hands in his pockets and a long sword on his back walked over slowly.

Who says Yanghai has no one?

The youth strode to the front of the crowd, his spirit soaring, and loudly declared: "It's obvious, the dark horse you're talking about is me."

Who are you?

Who the hell is this? Never seen him, a freshman?!

Seeing someone step forward, the sea of people instantly erupted.

What's your strength? Can you beat Feng Zichang?

Someone questioned, asking.

The youth smiled confidently, "I'm a first-year freshman at Yanghai Martial University, a Fifth Realm Warrior, but I'm confident......"

Before the youth could finish speaking, someone kicked him away.

Damn, just a Warrior Realm—what are you doing here messing around? Go play elsewhere!

You think you're Lu Jing? A freshman with no credits—what confidence do you have?

The youth, kicked over, covered his belly in grievance, squatted to the side and fell silent.

After the commotion, everyone's emotions rose even higher.

Everyone rest assured, Yanghai Martial University has no cowards!

A tall, gloomy-eyed youth wielding a broadsword pushed his way out of the crowd.

Originally, after my strength broke through, I wanted to charge the tower," the youth emanated a chilling aura, snorted coldly, and said: "I want to see if this Lu Jing is really as formidable as he's boasted online!

Seeing the youth speak, the Yanghai Martial University students nearby instantly became excited.

We're saved! This is senior Xue Yiming, ranked twelfth on the National Newcomer Ranking!

Xue Yiming, don't try to steal the spotlight—bring me along!

Another stout, buzz-cut youth stepped out, his face brimming with a confident smile.

This is Hu Cai, fourteenth on the Newcomer Ranking!

Great, Yanghai Martial University still has a chance!

Lu Jing, hurry up—I can't wait!

The Yanghai Martial University students present all shouted loudly, as if they'd won a battle.

For a moment, the area beneath the Ultimate Tower buzzed with voices, waves of sound rolling one after another.

While everyone gathered beneath the Ultimate Tower, waiting for Lu Jing to storm the tower...

Inside the First Cafeteria.

Brother Lu, the cafeteria at Yanghai Martial University isn't bad.

Indeed, it's a bit tastier than the demon beast meat at the Shogunate Seventh Cafeteria.

Lu Jing's mouth was stuffed full, and he spoke haltingly.

Brother Lu, let's eat quickly—I'm afraid we won't have enough time; didn't we say we'd storm five Ultimate Towers in a row today?

Ma Houshi scratched his head, noticing Lu Jing lacked any sense of urgency, and reminded him quietly.

No rush, there's plenty of time.

Lu Jing smiled and remained calm and unhurried.

Half an hour later, he finally rose slowly, surrounded by a large group of students, and walked outward.

He's here!

Lu Jing has finally come!

Beneath the Ultimate Tower, the crowd instantly exploded, automatically parting to make a path.

Under the gaze of ten thousand eyes, the youth proceeded forward with a calm expression.

Behind him, Ma Houshi, smug and arrogant, swaggered about, playing the fox borrowing the tiger's might.

Lu Jing, don't even think about summiting our Ultimate Tower," Xue Yiming stepped forward and said sternly.

Lu Jing didn't even glance at him, directly completed the formalities, and began charging the tower.

Brothers, this Lu Jing is too arrogant—watch how I suppress him!

Xue Yiming's eyes blazed, and he likewise entered the Ultimate Tower.

Not long after, several more people rushed into the Ultimate Tower.

Including Lu Jing, roughly a dozen people were charging the tower at the same time.

Come on!

Xue Yiming, go for it!

The students below the tower stared intently at the big screen, paying attention to how many floors those few people had cleared.

【Lu Jing (external school student), current floor: eleven.】

【Lu Jing (external school student), current floor: twenty.】

【Lu Jing (external school student), current floor: thirty.】

Holy shit, is this for real?!

Brother, hit me once—I think I'm dreaming...

Watching Lu Jing's rapidly changing numbers on the big screen, everyone widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Lu Jing has only been inside for less than ten minutes, and he's already reached the thirtieth floor?!

Together with Lu Jing, Xue Yiming has only reached the eighth floor—the gap between them is like heaven and earth!

My brother Lu is just awesome!

Ma Hou Shi laughed loudly beneath the big screen, his eyebrows dancing with delight as he said, "You know how strong Brother Lu is, right? Tremble!"

The next moment, Ma Hou Shi shut his mouth, because he noticed the students from Yanghai Martial University beside him all flushed red with anger, wishing they could devour him raw.

Look! He's reached the fortieth floor!

Another round of exclamations rose.

No way, is he really going to summit?!

The Tower of Ultimate Extremes has fifty floors in total, with only the last ten left...

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly...

Boom—

Several figures descended from the sky.

Each of them possessed unfathomable strength; standing together, they were like ten suns in the same sky, scorching the nearby students.

Everyone hurriedly retreated to the side.

It's the principal and them!

There's also the vice principal, and the directors...

The students of Yanghai Martial University recognized the arrivals, their faces filled with astonishment.

Has Lu Jing's tower‑clearing caused such a stir that even the principal, who usually shows up only like a dragon that reveals its head but not its tail, has come in person?

Principal, this kid is probably going to soar to great heights.

One of the middle‑aged men glanced at the big screen, sighed, and said.

Hmm, I never expected that the Tower of Ultimate Extremes of our Yanghai Martial University would be summited by an external school student.

The principal shook his head, his expression very complex.

Regret, admiration, helplessness—various emotions mingled together.

If I had personally gone to his house to deliver the admission letter back then, would he have become our student?
