16: Shocked the whole audience, competing for the title of martial arts champion

“Lin Wu, a third-year high school student, whose previous strength test result was 2470kg, has achieved 7470kg in this test. His score is exceptionally outstanding and has been recorded in the provincial ranking System! He is ranked first in the entire Bei Province and is qualified to participate in the Martial Champion competition!”

On the large screen, Lin Wu’s name also appeared.

“Bei Province Rank 1: Lin Wu, Strength 7470kg!

Bei Province Rank 2: Bai Qiuxin, Strength 6781kg!

Bei Province Rank 3: Zhao Rulong, Strength 6774kg!”

Upon hearing this score and seeing this ranking,

the entire school erupted!

Especially the students; they were even more shocked.

“Holy crap, this is a true Genius! He was unknown before, but now he’s actually become the provincial number one!”

“Before the class split, I even shared a desk with him for a while. I never thought he’d be so awesome now.”

“Martial Champion is definitely secured. Look at the gap between him and the second place; it’s a sheer cliff of a lead!”

“I remember this person; a marketing account once featured her, saying she was the daughter of an ancient Family in Bei Province!”

At this moment, no one questioned Lin Wu anymore.

All the students admired Lin Wu immensely!

“Too awesome! He shattered a Prodigy with one punch!”

“Stop talking, you’re making me excited! He’s totally a novel protagonist!”

The students were discussing animatedly. Even when the teachers came out to maintain order, it took a long time for them to quiet down.

Not only that, the teachers’ reactions were also significant.

“If our school can produce a Martial Champion, we might really become a prestigious school!”

“Yes, congratulations, Old Liu! With a student like him, it’ll be hard for you not to get promoted in the future!”

The ‘Old Liu’ other teachers referred to was, of course, Lin Wu’s Class Teacher.

“You flatter me. These are all the results of Lin’s own hard work. His being in my class is truly a blessing from my ancestors!”

Everyone was overjoyed, excitedly conversing, and many even pulled out their phones to take pictures.

Lin Wu calmly walked off the stage, awaiting the subsequent results.

And Xiao Li, as the former top student in the entire school, as someone who had once enjoyed being the center of attention, felt even worse than if he had eaten excrement.

He went to an secluded corner, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number... At a villa on a certain mountaintop.

Xiao Family ancestral land.

At this moment, the Xiao Family Head stared intently at Lin Wu on the screen.

Veins bulged on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot.

“Master, Young Master is calling...”

The Xiao Family Head first took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled a single word.

“Answer.”

Xiao Li’s voice quickly came through the phone.

His voice was full of anger and grievance.

“Dad, what exactly is going on? Didn’t you say that after performing the secret technique, I would be the top in the city, and I would be directly recommended for the Martial Champion competition? Why...”

Hearing his son’s voice, the Xiao Family Head’s anger immediately subsided by half.

“Son, don’t panic. Of course, you can be the top in the city. Don’t worry, I will solve it for you.”

The Xiao Family Head then hung up the phone, and his expression gradually turned grim.

Over the years, the Xiao Family had been continuously weakening. The original True Qi-level powerhouses had aged, and the new generation was increasingly weaker.

If this continued, the Xiao Family would fall out of the ranks of prominent Families and completely become a marginal small Family.

That was what the Xiao Family Head was most unwilling to see. Without powerhouses as their foundation, the Xiao Family would only be devoured by other Families.

So the Xiao Family Head decided to take a desperate risk!

To ensure everything was foolproof, he even found a Demonic Path organization to cooperate with, one side providing money, the other providing effort, forcefully pushing Xiao Li into the Martial Champion competition!

Moreover, if one could become the top in the city, they could be directly recommended for the Martial Champion competition.

If one did not become the top in the city, they would need to pass other tests to forcefully enter the Martial Champion competition.

But this would not only take a long time, reducing Cultivation, but any unforeseen changes during the process would also be unacceptable to him.

Now, Lin Wu suddenly appeared, disrupting all his plans.

As for how to go from second in the city to first in the city,

there was only one way: eliminate the first-ranked person in the city!

And the butler beside him spoke.

“Master, we are already involved with the Demonic Path and have paid a considerable price. Should I inform those few minor Demonic Path members to take action and eliminate him?”

The Xiao Family Head nodded; he had the same intention.

“This kid is unknown, probably from some poor backwater. He doesn’t have any backing, so just kill him directly.”

“But be careful, use their hands to eliminate him.”

“Yes!”

...Meanwhile, at First High School.

The Martial Arts College Entrance Exam was nearing its end.

Most people had obtained preliminary data, and their next step was to participate in other stages of the exam.

On another side of the school, there were also two Examiners dressed in military uniforms.

They were nominally part of the Examiners, but in reality, they were Demonic Path members wearing human skin.

“Damn it, a wrench has been thrown into our plans! If that kid from the Xiao Family doesn’t become the top in the city, we won’t get our money!”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother will find a way.”

And one of them received a phone call.

The caller was, of course, the butler.

There was only a short sentence from that side.

“The Master wants you to handle it yourselves. You figure it out.”

The call was then disconnected.

The two Demonic Path members gradually revealed their true nature.

“Later, let Big Brother find an excuse to kill that kid and refine him into a Medicinal Pill. Otherwise, it will be hard to quell the hatred in our hearts.”

“That’s exactly what we should do!”

These two Demonic Path members quickly took action... Examiner Wei, who was next to the teachers, also received a message from his accomplice.

Actually, there was no need for the Xiao Family to tell him.

He himself had already planned it this way.

He found the Vice Principal and fabricated an excuse.

“We feel that Lin is a good student and would like to meet him. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, the Vice Principal agreed without hesitation.

He thought that if people from the military wanted to meet Lin Wu, there must be some benefit involved.

“Of course, no problem. Where do you plan to meet?”

Examiner Wei’s face lit up with a smile upon hearing this.

“Let’s go to an abandoned teaching building on the east side of the school. Our conversation is not suitable for outsiders to hear.”

Hearing this, the Vice Principal became even more certain that there was some benefit involved.

“I will go and inform Lin immediately.”

The Vice Principal immediately took action.

And “Examiner Wei” also went to the abandoned teaching building with his two Demonic Path accomplices.

“When he arrives, the two of you control him.”

“This kid cannot be killed too quickly. He has some Materials on him that will aid our Cultivation!”

The two Demonic Path members nodded repeatedly.

A few minutes later,

Lin Wu arrived alone.
