14: Chapter 14 Qi and Blood Test

After a brief moment of hesitation, fear was quickly replaced by a fury at being toyed with.

He shoved the butler standing in his way aside and strode toward Su Yu.

"Move! Get out of my way, all of you!"

Like an enraged lion, Zhao Ze roughly shoved the examinees aside as he passed.

Seeing this, the bodyguards rushed to follow him like hungry wolves, forcibly carving a path through the crowd.

Lin Xiaoxiao was just about to continue persuading Su Yu when she was suddenly interrupted by the commotion.

She turned her head and immediately frowned.

"Zhao Ze? What kind of madness is he up to?"

Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Su Yu's side.

Zhao Ze rushed to within three meters of Su Yu and stopped.

He stared fixedly at Su Yu.

His chest heaved violently, and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked and popped.

"You..."

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, squeezing out a single word from between them.

He wanted to ask where Lao Mo had gone.

He wanted to ask how he had survived.

But he couldn't ask.

This was the examination hall!

The City Defense Army and surveillance cameras were everywhere!

Hiring someone to commit murder—if he let that slip here, even the Zhao family wouldn't be able to protect him!

Su Yu watched Zhao Ze's frustrated expression, looking like he wanted to eat someone but didn't dare open his mouth.

The curve of his lips deepened slightly.

"What?"

Su Yu's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Zhao Ze's ears.

"Young Master Zhao, with that expression..."

"...have you seen a ghost?"

A light, airy remark.

It was like a sharp knife, precisely stabbing into Zhao Ze's most fragile nerve!

Zhao Ze's face turned livid instantly.

As expected!

This kid definitely knew about Lao Mo!

Lao Mo had failed!

No, something must have happened to Lao Mo!

But how?

A piece of trash with a 0.8 rating, how could he survive against a formal Martial Artist? And he even dared to stand here and mock him?!

"Su Yu."

Zhao Ze stared fixedly at him, his eyes flashing with a venomous light.

He lowered his voice, speaking word by word at a volume only the two of them could hear.

"I don't care what despicable methods you used."

"But if you dare to step into this examination hall today..."

"...I guarantee you will regret being born into this world."

"I will let you know that in the face of absolute strength, your little cleverness is worth nothing!"

Facing Zhao Ze's malicious threat.

Su Yu didn't even lift an eyelid.

He couldn't even be bothered to retort.

There was really no need to waste breath on a dead man.

"Excuse me."

Su Yu calmly spat out these two words.

He directly ignored Zhao Ze's murderous gaze.

He walked around him and headed straight for the entrance of the examination hall.

"You're courting death!"

Zhao Ze was furious and subconsciously reached out to grab Su Yu's shoulder.

"Zhao Ze! What are you doing!"

Lin Xiaoxiao let out a sharp cry and slapped Zhao Ze's hand away.

She looked coldly at Zhao Ze.

"This is an examination hall. Do you want to be executed on the spot by the City Defense Army?"

Zhao Ze's hand froze in mid-air.

He glanced at the City Defense Army soldiers not far away, who already had their hands on their holsters, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, this has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Ze snorted coldly and withdrew his hand.

"I just wanted to remind this classmate Su that if he doesn't have the strength, he shouldn't come here to embarrass himself."

"We'll see."

Zhao Ze took a deep look at Su Yu's back and turned to walk toward another passageway.

The butler quickly followed, lowering his voice.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

"What are you panicking about!"

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, his eyes sinister.

"So what if he survived? He's still a 0.8 piece of trash!"

"During the upcoming Blood Qi test, he will be exposed and kicked out of the examination hall in front of everyone!"

"Even if he gets lucky and sneaks into the practical examination."

Zhao Ze clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

"On the ring, fists and feet have no eyes."

"I have a hundred ways to cripple him on the ring fair and square!"

...

"Clang—"

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Accompanied by a deep bell toll.

The large iron gates of the Jiangcheng No. 1 Martial Arts High School slowly opened to both sides.

"Examinees, please have your admission tickets and ID cards ready and line up to enter the examination hall."

"First assessment: Basic Blood Qi test."

"Passing threshold: 6.0."

"Those who fail will be eliminated on the spot."

The cold, electronic broadcast voice echoed over the square.

The crowd began to move slowly.

Su Yu followed the flow of people into the spacious school playground.

In the center of the playground, ten huge, silver-white metal instruments were set up.

Blood Qi testers.

These were precision instruments developed by the Great Xia Kingdom military, capable of measuring accurately to one decimal place, with no possibility of cheating.

The examinees were divided into ten columns.

Su Yu stood in the middle of the seventh column.

Coincidentally, Zhao Ze was just a few spots ahead of him.

The testing speed was very fast.

"Li Qiang, Blood Qi value: 4.2, fail! Eliminated!"

"Wang Tao, Blood Qi value: 5.8, fail! Eliminated!"

"Zhao Ming, Blood Qi value: 6.1, pass! Enter the waiting area!"

...

The cold electronic voice continued to sound.

Accompanied by the weeping of examinees, or shouts of ecstatic cheers.

The path of martial arts is just that cruel.

Pass, and you ascend to the heavens in one step.

Fail, and you fall into the mud.

The line kept moving forward.

Soon, it was Zhao Ze's turn.

Zhao Ze took off his coat and handed it to the proctor nearby.

He took a deep breath, casting the emotions affected by Su Yu to the back of his mind.

His eyes became confident and fanatical again.

He strode onto the testing platform and pressed his hands onto the instrument's sensor board.

Hum—

The tester emitted a low roar.

The red beam of light soared wildly inside the transparent glass tube!

1.0!

3.0!

6.0!

8.0!

The beam of light broke through the 8.0 mark, and still showed no sign of stopping!

The eyes of the entire venue were attracted over.

Even the proctor couldn't help but straighten up.

Finally.

The red beam of light stopped steadily at an extremely dazzling mark.

[Zhao Ze, Blood Qi value: 10.3!]

[Evaluation: Excellent!]

Boom!

The entire playground instantly boiled over!

"10.3! My god! That's 0.3 higher than a perfect score!"

"Worthy of being the young master of the Zhao family! This talent is too terrifying!"

"He will definitely be scouted by Kyoto Martial Arts University!"

Listening to the gasps and exclamations around him.

Zhao Ze withdrew his hands and let out a long breath of stale air.

He enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.

This was the stage that belonged to him!

He turned around and looked down at Su Yu, who was standing at the back of the line.

His eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.

As if saying: See that? This is the gap between you and me.

Su Yu ignored him.

He just calmly watched the few examinees ahead finish their tests.

Then.

Under Zhao Ze's gaze, who was preparing to watch a joke.

Under the gaze of Lin Xiaoxiao, who was so nervous she was about to crush the empty medicine bottle in her hand.

Su Yu stepped forward.

He walked onto the testing platform.

He didn't take a deep breath.

Nor did he make any movements to gather strength.

He just extremely casually pressed his slender, fair hands onto the sensor board.

"Beep—"

The Blood Qi tester began to operate.
