77: I want four!!

A faint voice, laced with a smile, resounded through the classroom.

Yu Qianqian and the others’ gazes instantly fell upon Lu Sheng.

Including Lan Zhan!

The moment they saw Lu Sheng, their eyes clearly paused in surprise.

Lu Sheng, is back?

But when they sensed the Qi around Lu Sheng, they couldn’t help but frown.

The Qi of the Qi Blood Realm!

They all knew about Lu Sheng's desire to push the limit of twenty points of Qi Blood, and they also knew that because of this, Lan Zhan was extremely disappointed in Lu Sheng, feeling he hadn't lived up to his potential.

As for them, although they also wanted to see if Lu Sheng could succeed...

Based on what they knew, breaking this limit… was basically impossible.

Even figures like the Ten Saints of Great Xia couldn’t break the limit of Qi Blood.

How much less Lu Sheng?

For a moment, their gazes towards Lu Sheng gradually carried a hint of worry.

Lan Zhan had given Lu Sheng seven days to think carefully; if he couldn’t Breakthrough to the Blood Refinement Realm within that time, points would be deducted.

And now… Lu Sheng’s Qi was still confined to the Qi Blood Realm.

However, compared to the other four youngsters, when Lan Zhan’s gaze fell upon Lu Sheng, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He could naturally sense the Qi around Lu Sheng, which was indeed only at the Qi Blood Realm.

However, the fluctuation of Qi Blood within Lu Sheng’s Physical Body was extremely different from that of an ordinary Qi Blood Realm cultivator.

The Qi Blood… was more condensed and more powerful!

What’s going on?

Lan Zhan was somewhat puzzled. Although he was a half-step Golden Body Realm expert, if Lu Sheng didn’t fully unleash his cultivation, he couldn’t discern exactly how much Qi Blood Lu Sheng possessed.

This was also the purpose of the Qi Blood detector.

However, although he was somewhat perplexed, he still said, “Hmph, you still know how to come back!”

Lan Zhan snorted, feeling even more annoyed as he sensed the Qi fluctuation around Lu Sheng, which was merely at the Qi Blood Realm.

“It seems my words fell on deaf ears!”

Lan Zhan’s words carried a hint of… resentment?

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, as if he hadn’t heard the emotion in Lan Zhan’s voice, and simply spoke softly.

“Teacher, the assessment time… hasn’t ended yet, has it?”

Lu Sheng’s arrival was naturally for the assessment.

The ranking assessment… determined the allocation of their points for the upcoming period.

In a place like Star Academy, exchanging resources, weapons, and Martial Arts all required a certain amount of points.

Lan Zhan glanced at the four people and said indifferently.

“They’ve all already had one assessment, so they’re not at their Peak condition. Do you think it’s fair to them for you to come and be assessed now?”

Lu Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed, and he spoke softly.

“In that case… I’ll fight all four of them alone!”

As Lu Sheng’s voice slowly trailed off…

In an instant, the temperature in the entire classroom seemed to drop.

Long Tianxing, Gu Yun, Xia Kong, and Yu Qianqian’s gazes instantly fell upon Lu Sheng, and their eyes held a strong sense of incomprehension.

Even… displeasure!

What does that mean?

You’ll fight all four of us alone?

Who the hell are you looking down on?

Especially Gu Yun. Don’t let Gu Yun’s calm demeanor fool you; within that calm nature lay an inherent arrogance.

Gu Yun stood up, his gaze level with Lu Sheng’s: “Forget four, you have to defeat me first!”

As his voice fell, the Qi Blood within Gu Yun’s Physical Body instantly erupted.

Rumble!!!

Dark red Qi Blood swirled around Gu Yun’s Physical Body, covering the iron chains. The silver chains, at this moment, seemed to transform into dark red giant pythons.

Blood Refinement third layer, a full fifty-plus points of Qi Blood, continuously roared out from Gu Yun’s Physical Body, accompanied by an extremely powerful sense of oppression!

Gu Yun’s eyes were utterly cold, staring intently at Lu Sheng.

Those who could enter Great Xia Academy were all top-tier Prodigies; they all had their own pride.

And Lu Sheng’s words had undoubtedly thoroughly enraged them.

What right do you have to fight all four of us alone?

Just with your Qi Blood Realm cultivation fluctuation?

Not only Gu Yun, but Long Tianxing and Yu Qianqian’s expressions also turned somewhat unsightly.

Although Xia Kong was honest and simple, the smile had now vanished from his face.

Lan Zhan was also stunned when he heard Lu Sheng’s words, but he quickly returned to normal.

“Alright, if you want to fight all four, then fight!”

Lan Zhan had originally harbored a hint of dissatisfaction with Lu Sheng’s disregard for his advice and his attempt to challenge the twenty-point Qi Blood limit.

Now, Lu Sheng was acting so high-profile.

Lan Zhan also wanted to teach Lu Sheng a lesson, to let Lu Sheng know that in this world, he wasn’t the only Prodigy!

Nineteen points of Qi Blood was Heaven-Defying, but at the same time… it wasn’t unique in Great Xia!

“But…”

Suddenly, Lan Zhan’s tone shifted slightly.

He looked at Lu Sheng and said in a deep voice.

“Once you fail, your ranking will automatically drop to fifth place, and at the same time…”

“You should still remember what I told you seven days ago, right!”

After speaking, Lan Zhan’s gaze fixed directly on Lu Sheng.

He had originally thought Lu Sheng would hesitate a bit, but what he didn’t expect was that, facing such a harsh demand from him…

Lu Sheng didn’t hesitate at all, immediately nodded, and then agreed.

“I can!”

Now it was Lan Zhan who was somewhat taken aback.

However, he was still a half-step Golden Body Realm expert and had experienced much. His expression only changed for a fleeting moment before he turned his gaze to Yu Qianqian and the other three.

“You four heard that, right? Someone is looking down on you. You know what to do next!”

“If four of you can’t even defeat Lu Sheng alone, it would be shameful!”

Lan Zhan’s words were undoubtedly a spark, instantly igniting the already high emotions of the four individuals.

Yu Qianqian shot Lu Sheng an unfriendly glance and snorted, “Come on!”

As her voice fell, the sword case on Yu Qianqian’s back trembled slightly.

Immediately after, a small sword blade instantly detached from the sword case and landed in Yu Qianqian’s hand.

Buzz!!

A sword cry completely echoed through the classroom.

Long Tianxing’s expression was slightly grim. He looked at Lu Sheng and said in a deep voice, “Although I’m at the bottom of this class, Lu Sheng… you’re being too insulting!”

As he spoke, a blue glow flashed across the spatial bracelet on Long Tianxing’s hand.

Immediately after, an extremely small golden hammer appeared in his hand.

Treasure Artifact!

In Great Xia, not only Martial Arts and cultivation were divided into Realms, but even weapons were also divided into Realms.

They were ordinary weapons, top-grade weapons, Treasure Artifacts, Treasure Artifacts, and Spiritual Artifacts.

Among them, after reaching Treasure Artifact, they were further divided into Low Grade, Middle Stage, and High Grade.

And at this moment, the golden hammer in Long Tianxing’s hand was precisely a Low Grade Treasure Artifact.

Do not underestimate this small hammer just because it is Low Grade. One must know that among ten Viscera Refining Realm Martial Artists, it would be good if one possessed a Treasure Artifact.

Yet, in Long Tianxing’s hand, there was such a weapon.

“Hehe, Lu Sheng, I also think you’ve gone a bit too far. I won’t hold back!”

Xia Kong scratched the back of his head in an honest manner, and then, the honest expression on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by an extremely strong Battle Intent that surged forth.

“Come, fight!!”

Xia Kong let out a low roar, his muscles instantly writhing, as if an extremely explosive power was about to burst out from within Xia Kong’s muscles.

In an instant, his Body Refining second layer Middle Stage cultivation erupted fiercely.

The ultimate Physical Body strength instantly surged.

Streams of Qi intertwined, emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation.

Completely filling the entire classroom space.

And their target… was only one!

That was Lu Sheng, standing at the doorway!

Feeling the terrifying Qi emanating from the four, Lu Sheng’s face showed no expression, only the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and then… he took a step forward!

The moment Lu Sheng took that step…

From within his seemingly extremely slender Physical Body, an ultimate Physical Body strength suddenly erupted.

Rumble!!!

Vaguely, Yu Qianqian and the other three only felt a series of rumbling sounds in their ears.

Like the crashing of waves.

“This is…”

And Lan Zhan, standing to the side, felt this surge of Physical Body strength from within Lu Sheng, and his pupils instantly constricted.

Even this half-step Golden Body Realm expert had a look of disbelief surface on his face.

“Body Refining third layer!!”

Lan Zhan’s mind suddenly shook.

He knew Lu Sheng’s Body Refining talent was good; seven days ago, he was already at the Body Refining second layer Middle Stage cultivation. But Lan Zhan never would have thought…

In just seven days, Lu Sheng had actually raised his Body Refining cultivation directly to the Body Refining third layer!

This was… comparable to a Hundred Meridians Realm expert!

For a moment, Lan Zhan’s throat moved slightly, and he swallowed.

However, the more of a Genius Lu Sheng showed himself to be, the more annoyed Lan Zhan became at Lu Sheng’s attempt to challenge the illusory Realm of twenty points of Qi Blood.

He didn’t understand why Lu Sheng was so persistent about a seemingly illusory Realm.

But, the next moment, he understood.

The Qi of Body Refining third layer emanated from Lu Sheng’s Physical Body.

Immediately after, Lu Sheng took another step.

With this step… a surge of Qi Blood, seemingly weak but enough to shake all of Great Xia, instantly spread out.

A full twenty points of Qi Blood swirled around Lu Sheng’s Physical Body, like latent Dragons coiled within Lu Sheng’s Physical Body.

At this moment, the smile on Lu Sheng’s lips grew even wider.

“Get ready, I’m about to…”

“Make my move!”
