15: Chapter 15, Section 10.4: What about Qi and Blood?

Hum—

The silvery-white Qi and Blood tester emitted a low roar.

Su Yu's hands pressed steadily onto the sensor plate.

His original plan was to precisely control his Qi and Blood value at 9.8.

A number sufficient to get into a key martial arts university without appearing too shocking.

But just a moment ago.

He saw Zhao Ze's score of 10.3, and the other party's condescending gaze, as if looking at trash.

Su Yu changed his mind.

Since he was going to step on him, he might as well do it thoroughly.

10.4.

Just a negligible 0.1 higher than the limit Zhao Ze was so proud of.

The damage wasn't significant.

But the insult was extreme.

His mind stirred slightly.

The floodgate of Qi and Blood within his body, tightly locked by the Breath Concealment Technique, quietly cracked open a minuscule gap.

Boom!

Inside the tester's transparent glass tube, a dazzling red beam of light instantly shot up from the ground!

Without any hesitation!

Without any delay!

1.0!

3.0!

6.0!

The passing line was instantly torn apart!

"Look! The speed of that light beam!"

Several candidates waiting in line couldn't help but exclaim.

The playground, which had been shocked by Zhao Ze's 10.3, was once again drawn to the commotion caused by this machine.

"Who is that? Which class is he in?"

"Seems like it's Su Yu from Class 3... that liberal arts student who is always ranked last?"

"Bullshit! Can someone with 0.8 Qi and Blood charge this fiercely?!"

The red light beam was still surging!

8.0!

9.0!

10.0!

The full-mark scale flashed by!

Finally.

When the light beam was about to touch the top of the glass tube, it stopped extremely steadily, without any fluctuation.

It locked firmly onto one number.

[Su Yu, Qi and Blood value: 10.4!]

[Evaluation: Extremely Excellent!]

The cold electronic broadcast voice echoed over the vast playground.

Once.

Again.

The whole world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button at this moment.

Dead silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bright red numbers on the tester, their brains completely crashed.

10.4?

Broke the highest record of Jiangcheng No. 1 Martial Arts High School in the last decade?

And, just a minute ago, it had just crushed Zhao Ze's much-anticipated 10.3!

"Clang—"

On the periphery of the crowd, the thermos in the hand of Teacher Li Jianguo, the homeroom teacher of Class 3, fell to the ground without warning.

Scalding goji berry water splashed all over the floor.

But he was completely unaware.

Teacher Li Jianguo widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the thin back standing on the testing platform.

His lips were trembling violently.

Shock!

A shock mixed with extreme regret and fear, like a heavy hammer, slammed into his chest!

He knew Su Yu's background too well.

Three days ago, in the faculty office, Su Yu's Qi and Blood value was clearly only 0.8!

How could that orphan, whom he had pointed at and called trash, forcing him to sign a score-selling agreement, erupt with a terrifying 10.4 Qi and Blood within three days?!

What made Teacher Li Jianguo feel even more terrified was Su Yu's attitude.

Too calm.

Standing in front of the machine that could change fate, facing the shock of tens of thousands of people.

Su Yu didn't even have a disrupted breath.

No wild joy, no excitement, he didn't even glance at that glaring result.

It was as if... he had done a trivial thing.

"What on earth... have I missed?"

Teacher Li Jianguo's legs went soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

A peerless Genius with 10.4!

If he reported it to the school, how much bonus could he get? How much honor could he obtain?

And now, he had personally offended this Genius to death!

Beside the testing platform.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood there blankly.

The small metal bottle containing the "Blood Burst Pill" extract in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"You..."

Lin Xiaoxiao widened her pure and beautiful eyes, watching Su Yu walk slowly down the testing platform.

Unable to say a word.

But the next second.

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

Yet her mouth corners couldn't help but rise, blooming into a heartfelt, incredibly brilliant smile.

Happy.

A pure, unadulterated happiness!

She finally understood.

Why Su Yu's eyes were so calm three days ago in that dim old street alley when he refused her family's special admission quota.

He said he wanted to take the exam for Daxia Capital First Martial Arts University.

He wasn't dreaming.

He wasn't just trying to save Face.

He really had the strength!

"Dead liar..." Lin Xiaoxiao muttered softly, her eyes filled with undisguisable radiance.

And at this moment.

Zhao Ze, who was standing at the front of the line.

His whole person was like a statue struck by lightning, frozen on the spot.

The Face that had originally worn an arrogant sneer was now completely distorted.

"Impossible..."

Zhao Ze stared fixedly at the "10.4" on the screen, a beast-like low roar emitting from his throat.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"The machine is broken! It must be broken!"

0.8 to 10.4?

A gap of a full ten times!

Even if one drank the top-tier gene potions of the Great Xia Kingdom like water, it would be impossible to complete such a Heaven-Defying transformation within three days!

Opportunity!

A thought flashed through Zhao Ze's mind.

This brat must have had some incredible luck and eaten some legendary Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Jealousy.

Crazy jealousy, like a poisonous snake, gnawing at Zhao Ze's heart.

Why?

Why should a piece of bottom-tier trash who couldn't even afford synthetic meat get such an Opportunity?!

But immediately after, a layer of cold sweat suddenly seeped out of Zhao Ze's back.

He remembered Lao Mo, who had gone missing last night.

If Su Yu had a Qi and Blood value of 10.4...

No!

Zhao Ze shook his head violently, forcing himself to steady his mind.

Even if it was 10.4, that was only at the Genius level that had just reached the full marks for the martial arts exam!

And Lao Mo was a formal Martial Artist who had broken the limits of the human body, with a Qi and Blood value as high as 110!

Between 10.4 and 110 lay an insurmountable chasm!

Su Yu could absolutely not be Lao Mo's opponent!

"Someone must be protecting him in the dark..."

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, frantically searching for a reasonable explanation in his heart.

"Or, that bastard Lao Mo took the money and didn't do the job!"

Right!

It must be like that!

Zhao Ze took a deep breath, forcing down the terror in his eyes, replacing it with an extremely cold killing intent.

"So what if your Qi and Blood is 10.4?"

Zhao Ze looked at Su Yu walking towards the waiting area, a cruel curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.

"Martial Arts isn't just about looking at the dead numbers of Qi and Blood values!"

"You, an upstart who relied on luck to skyrocket your Qi and Blood, what Martial Skill do you know? What do you understand about force exertion?"

"Although I only have 10.3, I have been soaking in medicinal baths since I was a child, and I have mastered a Profound Rank Low Grade practical martial art!"

"In the upcoming actual combat assessment."

"I will personally shatter all your pride and let you know exactly how big the gap is between a commoner and a noble family!"

Zhao Ze snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the rest area on the side.

...

The test continued.

But because Su Yu's 10.4 score was a pearl before them, the tests of the subsequent candidates seemed insipid.

Even if an excellent score above 8.0 appeared occasionally, it could no longer arouse the exclamation of the crowd.
