Chapter 347

Holy shit!!

A profanity slipped out.

Wang Yongge's expression was priceless, as if he'd suddenly had a heart attack, his face twisted and shocked.

Was that punch just thrown by Lu Jing?

How is this possible?!

He blinked hard, wanting to see more clearly.

Only a tall, slender figure stood before the crystal pillar, slowly lowering his fighting stance, the whole motion giving a natural, effortless feel.

Lu Jing's gaze was calm as an ancient well, gradually reflecting brilliant light within.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

The crystal pillar began at its base, points of light spreading upward.

One...... two......

Four...... six......

The light spread slowly, taking nearly two breaths to illuminate a single ray.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the crystal pillar.

Seven......

"Holy shit, combat power reached 700,000!"

"Too terrifying..."

Chen Qiu muttered to himself, just now he'd said Lu Jing was a connection-backed hire; he'd really slapped his own face.

However, before everyone could accept the fact of seven rays, the crystal pillar lit up again.

The eighth ray lit up...

Brilliant to the extreme!

"Ah? Over 800,000 combat power?!"

"Is this thing not broken? 800,000 combat power is something only a Martial Lord Realm can produce..."

Everyone's heads buzzed.

Chen Qiu remained silent, his eyes narrowed; this eighth ray was too dazzling, could it be...?

As he expected, the ninth ray lit up on the crystal pillar!

The crystal pillar is about five meters tall; the ninth light is at a height of three meters, so those nearby have to look up to see it.

They just stood there, heads upturned, staring blankly.

Dead silence...

The entire testing room fell into dead silence.

Wang Yongge, who had just cursed in surprise, had now lost control of his body, his head buzzing.

A full minute passed before everyone gradually came to.

"Although I was mentally prepared, this result still exceeded my expectations..."

Zheng Xuelan murmured, breaking the silence first.

She knew Lu Jing was strong, after all he'd dealt with a Lord-level Aberrant Beast that even a Martial Lord Realm couldn't handle.

But that Lord-level Beast was ultimately a particularly special psychic-type Aberrant Beast, which is why Situjun found it so troublesome.

Had it been an ordinary eleventh-level Lord, Situjun could have handled it alone, needing no support.

Therefore Zheng Xuelan guessed Lu Jing's true strength was likely early Martial Lord Realm; being able to light seven rays would already be impressive.

But who would have thought, Lu Jing's first move lit up nine rays!

Others fear performing poorly in the test, so they throw extra punches to get the highest value, whereas Lu Jing just threw a single simple punch.

This shows his confidence in his own strength!

"Cough cough!"

The staff member blown five meters away by the aftermath also recovered, giving two dry coughs, his voice hoarse: "Lu...... Lu Jing's test result, 930,000 combat power!"

As the final result was announced, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

At the same time, the astonished gazes fixed on the crystal pillar shifted to the youth beside it.

"Awesome...... so awesome!"

"I, Chen Qiu, am convinced today," Chen Qiu walked up to Lu Jing, took a deep breath, "Just now I spoke rudely, sorry."

After saying that, he actually gave his own face two hard Slaps.

Those who had discussed Lu Jing with Chen Qiu also stepped forward, bowing toward Lu Jing to apologize.

In a world where the strong are revered, defying one's superiors is the stupidest act.

Lu Jing's face was calm; he was currently in the Empty Bright Realm, his heart without a ripple, merely waving his hand slightly.

Chen Qiu and the others felt relieved, hurriedly thanked him and retreated.

"Whoosh——"

After a long exhale, Lu Jing exited the Empty Bright Realm.

Looking at the dazzling nine rays on the crystal pillar ahead, he nodded satisfied.

"This result is not bad......"

A full-powered strike in the Empty Bright Realm can match the Martial Lord Realm!

"Even before attaining the Empty Bright Realm I could kill a Martial Marquis Realm; now that I have the Empty Bright Realm, rising to Martial Lord Realm is perfectly normal."

Lu Jing lowered the sleeves he had rolled up, shifting his gaze to the staff member.

The staff member was startled by Lu Jing's gaze, hurriedly asking, "Sir, do you want to test again?"

He still thought Lu Jing was dissatisfied with this score, planning to throw a few more punches.

"No need, I just want to ask what the next procedure is."

Lu Jing explained.

"You can wait in the resting area for a moment; I need to upload your test results and then submit them to superiors for evaluation and review!"

The staff member nodded and bowed, quickly operating on the tablet.

"Alright."

Lu Jing nodded, turned, and looked behind him.

Only to see everyone in the room staring at him in shock, with the hallway outside the windows also filled with people.

Seeing Lu Jing's gaze sweep over, some bold ones directly pushed the door open and walked straight toward him.

"Hello hello, I'm Chu Chengyue from the Eastern Second War Zone; I was truly shocked outside just now—can we get acquainted?"

The officer named Chu Chengyue smiled, bent over, and extended his right hand.

"Hello, Lu Jing."

Lu Jing also politely shook hands with him.

After shaking hands with Lu Jing, Chu Chengyue trembled all over with excitement, as if he had received a great honor.

"I still have some matters, sorry."

Seeing someone else wanting to come in from outside, Lu Jing hastily politely declined.

Then he walked toward Zheng Xuelan.

At this moment, Wang Yongge was still standing beside Zheng Xuelan; seeing Lu Jing approach, he was frightened and retreated several steps.

"Nine hundred thirty thousand combat power... just what kind of monster is this guy!"

Wang Yongge's expression was complex, his eyes wide open.

Thinking back to what he had just said, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide.

He had thought Lu Jing would harshly humiliate him, but instead Lu Jing simply sat in the resting area, closing his eyes to rest.

Wang Yongge stood dazed for a moment, then took a deep breath and walked up to Lu Jing.

"Sir... sir, I was blind to Mount Tai just now; sorry, sorry!"

Wang Yongge's face scrunched up, looking like he was about to cry.

At this moment, Wang Yongge felt immense regret—if he had offended an ordinary Martial Lord Realm cultivator, it wouldn't have come to this.

After all, if the sky fell, his grandfather would hold it up.

But Lu Jing is no ordinary person; to Wang Yongge, such a young nine hundred thirty thousand combat power is nothing short of a divine being!

If his grandfather found out about this, he would definitely be the one to suffer the consequences.
