Chapter 76: You Can Go Ahead and Try Moving

Not bad, kid, you hit hard.

Dong Ningxue remarked that his strike was heavy, but her face showed an interested expression.

Pull up the surveillance footage; I want to take a look.

Yes!

The staff quickly captured the scene of Lu Jing subduing Wu Yi in one move and then beating him on the ground.

What a ruthless guy—where did this trainee come from?

Colonel Dong, this trainee is Lu Jing, representing Anwu City No. 2 Middle School.

Lu Jing?

Dong Ningxue rubbed her chin, "That name sounds familiar......"

Soon she remembered.

A few days ago, there were rumors that the grandson of the Martial Arts Association president, Ye Shaohua, suffered a loss at Anwu City No. 2 Middle School, having his arm cut off by a student named Lu Jing.

That must be him!

I hope he really has the strength the rumors claim; then he'll be an excellent whetstone for the seed participants of this training camp!

Dong Ningxue turned and left the military camp; to her, a suddenly appearing Lu Jing wasn't worth special attention.

This genius training camp truly aims to cultivate only a few: the Feng family's Feng Xinglan, the Yao Martial Arts Hall's Yao Rong, and the military's Hao Pengjie, among others.

In the Huangshen Forest.

Lu Jing opened the points ranking on his wristwatch.

First place: Hao Pengjie—30 points

Second place: Lu Sang—23 points

Third place: Yao Rong—19 points

The ranking board only shows the top ten's information, but interestingly, besides the points details, the real-time locations of the top ten are also displayed.

It seems the training camp intentionally lets these seed participants be challenged by others to boost their combat ability.

Lu Jing has four points, Leng Yueyue has two, and neither of them appears on the ranking.

"Let's split up from now on," Lu Jing suddenly stopped, looking at Leng Yueyue to the side, "I'm going to hunt demon beasts; it's too dangerous for you."

Leng Yueyue originally wanted to insist, but realizing her strength would only hold Lu Jing back, she reluctantly nodded, "Fine, anyway my points are enough to pass the assessment—you be careful."

Lu Jing nodded, told Leng Yueyue to hide in the outskirts, then ran toward the demon beast location marked on his wristwatch.

He wanted to take this opportunity to gather more colorless crystal blocks and, by the way, obtain the ranking reward.

Bang!

With a booming sound from a fist impact.

A level-two demon beast over eight meters long crashed to the ground, shaking up rubble and causing a violent earth-shaking tremor.

This demon beast's chest had a hole piercing through its body, and through that hole, a youth slowly retracted his fighting stance.

Who would have thought that the biggest dark horse of this genius training camp wasn't looking for trouble elsewhere, but was hunting demon beasts right here?

"This is already the fourth one; with the wristwatch's positioning, it saves me from having to search everywhere for suitable demon beasts."

"This kind of wild savage ox supposedly tastes good...."

Lu Jing originally only hunted demon beasts of level three or above, but this wild savage ox proved too tempting.

Although the wild savage ox isn't strong, its meat price is outrageously high, making it a hot commodity in all martial halls.

The main reason is that this demon beast's meat is fresh and delicious, naturally fragrant.

No matter how it's prepared, the final product makes people drool.

Lu Jing sliced a piece of meat from the demon beast's thigh with the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword, preparing to grill it for dinner.

This assessment lasts two days; the training camp has prepared large amounts of food and drinking water at the entrance as supplies.

But Lu Jing doesn't plan to go back for them, since the round trip would waste too much time.

Anyway, he has a whole box of drinking water and condiments like cumin in his ring, enough to survive alone here.

However, just as Lu Jing had made a simple grill from branches, he heard footsteps behind him.

"Brother, you've got great taste—while others are struggling to survive here, you're enjoying life."

A slightly harsh voice sounded.

Lu Jing extended his mental perception backward and saw three people approaching; the leader, a youth in a windbreaker, smiled and said, "Brother, did you kill this wild savage ox?"

"What's up?"

Lu Jing glanced at him, then turned back, continuing to fuss over the meat on the fire, occasionally sprinkling on spices.

Gurgle~

Among the three, the left‑handed, scrawny teenager stared at Lu Jing's grilled meat, his stomach growling uncontrollably.

They had originally planned to go back for supplies, but it was already late and they didn't want to travel at night.

The danger level of the Huangshen Forest at night is several times that of daytime.

Many high‑level demon beasts leave their territories at night to hunt lower‑level ones.

If luck is bad, it's highly likely to run into those high‑level demon beasts.

"Let me introduce myself—I'm Lu Sang," said the windbreaker‑clad youth with an extremely friendly smile, "Are you alone, brother?"

However, Lu Jing didn't reply for a while; only the thigh meat on the grill gave off waves of meat aroma.

This made the scrawny teenager's stomach growl again.

"Look at your lack of ambition!"

Lu Sang was ignored by Lu Jing; his smile vanished for a moment as he took out his frustration on the scrawny teenager beside him.

"Brother, don't misunderstand—we mean no harm; we just happened to see the firelight and came over to check."

Lu Sang continued, "We three are together; do you want to join us? After all, more people can look out for each other."

"I refuse."

Lu Jing picked up the long blade and carved several grooves into the beef leg so the seasoning could blend in better.

"What, do you know whose invitation you just refused?"

The thin boy whose stomach kept growling couldn't help but say, "Haven't you checked the points ranking? My brother is second!"

"Exactly, so many people are lining up to join our team, and you outright refused?"

Another trainee widened his eyes, face full of disbelief.

Seeing Lu Jing refuse without hesitation, Lu Sang's expression turned somewhat unsightly; he narrowed his eyes and glanced around.

Not far off, someone else approached following the firelight; anyone daring to move about at night was not to be underestimated.

Lu Sang furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, then relaxed his grip on the long blade and said with a smile, "Brother, since you don't want to join, I won't force you—this huge ox is too much for you to finish alone; why not share it together?"

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Jing's reply, he strode straight to the wild ox's carcass and prepared to take some meat.

"Put it down—did I let you move?"

Lu Jing cut a piece of meat from the ox's leg, put it in his mouth, and coldly said to Lu Sang,

"You?!"

The thin boy, who had been hungry for a day, could no longer hold back and stepped forward, shouting angrily, "We're all from the same training camp—what's wrong with cutting you a piece of meat? Don't force us to just take it from you!"

"Then go ahead and try."

Lu Jing's face remained calm, as if he didn't even regard those few people in his sight.
