Chapter 85: Loli Grandmaster
Lu Jing's build was minuscule next to the Blazing Fire Cloud Dragon; those below could not tell if anyone was on its back.
"Besides, you all saw on the surveillance last night that this Blazing Fire Cloud Dragon has been tamed by him into obedience; there won't be any big problem."
The staff member who asked whether it had been shot down clearly didn't understand; he stared at Zhu Xingyao and said solemnly, "Officer, if these trainees meet with an accident because of your decision, can you bear the consequences?"
"Crack!"
Zhu Xingyao's gaze turned gloomy and icy; the lollipop in her mouth shattered with a crack, "Are you questioning me?"
The next moment.
A savage aura burst from her body, and the mighty Blood Qi within her actually made people feel scorching heat, searing the water vapor in this space into distortion.
"Grand... Grand Master?!"
That staff member's legs went weak, he collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, and stammered.
He couldn't believe that this girl who looked under twenty was actually a Martial Ancestor Realm powerhouse!
I had thought Zhu Xingyao was just using connections to pad her résumé at the training camp, but I never expected she'd kicked an iron plate.
Although Zhu Xingyao deliberately controlled the dispersion of her aura to avoid hurting others, the leaked trace still made the other staff tremble all over.
"That's enough, Xingyao," Dong Ningxue waved her hand, signaling her to stop.
"Hmph, next time speak to me more politely!"
Zhu Xingyao gave a cold snort and withdrew the Martial Ancestor Realm's quasi-substantial aura.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the huge stone weighing on their hearts had been moved aside.
After this little interlude, everyone's expression toward Zhu Xingyao changed.
Their eyes were filled with fear and awe.
But not far from the entrance, a noisy sound came.
"Holy shit, there's a person standing on the dragon's back!"
"Indeed, could this young dragon be his mount?"
Everyone looked up and saw the young dragon circling in the air, descending lower and lower, as if looking for a place to land.
On the young dragon's back, a youth stood against the wind, his robes fluttering, his black disheveled hair flying wildly, exuding an indescribable aloofness, elegance, and transcendence.
At first glance, he looked like a figure stepped out of a painting.
I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before...
Some students who had seen Lu Jing's appearance on the bus stammered, "He couldn't be a fellow student from our batch, could he?"
Just as they were discussing, the young dragon made a dive and reached the ground.
As its fleshy wings flapped, sand and stones flew; some weaker students were blown straight into disarray.
Just as the students were being suppressed by the terrifying aura of the young dragon descending from the sky, a voice suddenly rang out in the air.
"'Little Fire, stop playing.'"
The next moment, a figure landed, blasting a huge pit in the ground and kicking up an earth-shaking tremor.
"Could he possibly be... Lu Jing?"
The open area fell silent for a while, until a student finally stammered out a guess at Lu Jing's identity.
Besides that mysterious person ranked first on the leaderboard, who else could it be?
At this moment, the young dragon spread its wings, standing behind Lu Jing, making him look like a god or demon.
His hair, tousled by the strong wind and left loose, only grew more unrestrained and uninhibited.
His position was subtle, exactly between the students and the entrance.
This made the students who intended to gather dare not step forward any further.
With such a terrifying young dragon demon beast present, who would dare walk straight up to it?
"Are you Lu Jing?"
The students hesitated a moment, then asked in an extremely polite tone.
"I am."
Lu Jing nodded, his face bearing a gentle smile.
This scene happened to be seen by Leng Yueyue nearby, and she instantly recalled that recruitment assessment.
When Lu Jing finally negotiated over the phone, he smiled just like that.
Feng Xilan stepped forward, his gaze solemn as he glanced at the young dragon behind Lu Jing and asked:
"Lu Jing classmate, I don't know what you mean by this."
"Right, everyone's getting ready to finish the assessment; why are you blocking the road?"
"Exactly, this demon beast won't hurt anyone, will it?"
Lu Jing chuckled, "The road here is so wide; I'm not blocking it at all—just go around."
"As for the demon beast... it will definitely hurt people... but if you do a bit of business with me, I can get it to move aside."
"Do business?"
Everyone obviously didn't understand Lu Jing's meaning.
"Right, this assessment only lasts two days; I believe many of you haven't managed to earn enough points."
Lu Jing tapped his wristwatch, "How convenient—I have plenty of points here and can help some classmates who didn't pass the assessment; for just 100,000, you can buy some points from me, honest and fair!"
"As for those who already passed the assessment, they should buy some too, after all, it can still boost their ranking, right?"
These words left the students stunned, but they quickly reacted.
"Lu Jing, isn't this just forced selling?"
"Exactly, 100,000 for a few points is way too black!"
Those saying this were exactly the ones who had already gathered enough points; they now just wanted to hurry to the entrance to assemble.
And some trainees who hadn't gathered enough points were now feeling restless.
A hundred thousand could be an ordinary family's entire savings, but to the trainees of the Genius Training Camp, it was merely the price of a single Dan Medicine.
With the money for one Dan Medicine, one could exchange for the chance to stay on in the training camp, and no one could refuse.
I'll buy some points!
I want to buy too!
I'll buy two points!
Soon, the crowd spontaneously split into two groups: one came to find Lu Jing to buy points, while the other stayed where they were, their expressions uncertain.
Don't rush, line up and come one by one.
Lu Jing's face broke into a smile as he gestured for everyone to come in order.
In no time, he sold 30 points, earning three million.
All right, those who have bought points may leave first.
Lu Jing waved his hand, and the drake lying on the ground immediately understood his meaning, shifting its body to the side in a very human-like way.
Seeing that the trainees who had bought points had already left, those who didn't need points began to feel anxious.
These people gathered together, with Feng Xinglan taking the lead, to discuss countermeasures.
What should we do? This person looks hard to deal with.
I heard that all the demon beasts released by the training camp were hunted down by him alone; I don't know if it's true or not.
A man shook his head, saying, "I'm not really sure; anyway, I've never personally seen him hunt demon beasts."
His companion retorted angrily, "Of course you haven't seen them—they operate at night, while you were still trembling in fear up in a tree!"
So what do you suggest—are we supposed to fork over money to buy his points? Anyway, I admit I can't beat him, but Feng Xinglan and his crew surely won't stand for this, right?
