16: Chapter 16 I've got your back!

Until then.

"Next."

"Lin Xiaoxiao."

As soon as the words fell.

The gaze of the entire playground instantly focused on the young girl with a ponytail, wearing a tight black martial arts uniform.

The recognized school beauty of Jiangcheng No. 3 High School.

At the same time, she was also the most mysterious rich daughter in Jiangcheng.

No one knew exactly what her Family did, only that she was usually picked up and dropped off by dedicated bodyguards to and from school, and even the principal had to be polite when seeing her.

Lin Xiaoxiao ignored the surrounding gazes.

She turned her head and looked at Su Yu in the waiting area.

Suddenly, she blinked at Su Yu.

In that look, there was a hint of slyness, as well as a hint of relief that she could finally shed her disguise.

"Watch closely."

Lin Xiaoxiao whispered in a voice only she could hear.

Then.

She turned around and walked onto the testing platform with large strides.

She gently placed her hands on the sensor plate.

Hum—!!!

This time, it was no longer a low rumble.

But an extremely piercing screech, as if the machine was about to overload and explode!

Boom!

The red beam of light was not climbing at all.

It was teleporting!

In the blink of an eye, the beam of light smashed through the 10.0 full-mark scale!

And, with a scalp-numbing speed, it continued to break through wildly!

20.0!

50.0!

100.0! The limit of a Martial Artist was instantly torn apart!

"Beep, beep, beep, beep—!"

The Qi and blood testing machine emitted an extremely shrill red alarm!

This ordinary high school testing machine, which could only accurately test up to 100 points of Qi and blood, was currently enduring terrifying energy that it shouldn't have to at its level!

On the transparent glass tube, fine cracks actually appeared!

The tens of thousands of candidates, parents, and even those knowledgeable City Defense Army soldiers in the audience.

At this moment, all fell into a deathly stupor.

Even their breathing stopped.

The beam of light was still soaring!

200.0!

300.0!

Until the entire glass tube was completely filled with a red light so intense it turned black, and a "crack" sound of being unable to bear the load came from inside the machine.

The beam of light finally stopped.

The electronic display screen flickered wildly a few times.

Finally, it arduously spat out a number that made everyone doubt their lives.

[Lin Xiaoxiao, Qi and blood value: 406.0!]

[Evaluation: Unable to evaluate! System overload!]

Bang!

The clipboard in the proctor's hand slammed heavily onto the ground.

He opened his mouth wide, his eyes almost popping out, looking at that number like a fool.

406?

406!!!

Is this f*cking still a high school student?!

The Realm division of the Great Xia Kingdom is extremely strict.

10 points for full marks.

100 points for a Martial Artist.

And 406 points...

This is the existence that has already crossed the Elementary Martial Artist and stepped directly into an Intermediate Martial Artist!

Although Jiangcheng is only a third-tier small city on the edge of the Great Xia Kingdom, its permanent population exceeds ten million.

Here, an official Martial Artist with a Qi and blood value over 100 already possesses a very high social status, making ordinary people look up to them.

And what about Martial Artists over 400 points?

Those are elite hunters who have survived for over a decade fighting high-level Vicious Beasts in the wilderness outside the city!

They are the powerful captains in the City Defense Army who lead elite squads and fight bloody battles on the front lines of beast tides!

They are even the high-and-mighty senior mentors responsible for teaching and passing on knowledge in the local martial arts universities in Jiangcheng!

Even for the top scorers in the college entrance examination in Jiangcheng's history, after going to a top martial arts university and studying hard for four years, those who can reach this number are as rare as a Phoenix feather!

And now.

An eighteen-year-old high school girl who hasn't even stepped into a university gate has produced Heaven-Defying data on the testing machine on the eve of the college entrance examination that rivals those battle-hardened veterans and university mentors!

This is no longer a Genius.

This is a monster!

It is a true, peerless Prodigy with a sky-high background, smashed out by countless top-tier resources that ordinary people cannot imagine!

On the playground.

Dead silence.

An absolute dead silence that lasted for a full minute.

No one dared to speak.

No one even dared to breathe loudly.

Everyone looked up with awe-filled gazes, as if looking at a god, at the calm young girl on the testing platform.

Zhao Ze slumped on the chair in the resting area.

His 10.3, which he was proud of.

His Family background and resources, which he was proud of.

In front of that glaring "406", it was like a ridiculous joke.

Not even as good as a speck of dust.

"Is this... is this the foundation of a top-tier Family..."

Zhao Ze muttered to himself, his eyes completely losing focus.

And in the waiting area.

Su Yu crossed his arms and quietly watched Lin Xiaoxiao, who was shining brightly on the testing platform.

His gaze remained calm.

406 Qi and blood value.

It was indeed very strong.

Strong enough to sweep 99% of the national candidates in this year's batch.

This also perfectly explained why she could casually produce a special admission quota for the Daxia Capital First Martial Arts University.

A Family of this level is definitely an all-powerful existence in the capital.

However.

Su Yu slightly lowered his eyelids, feeling the locked, bottomless, and terrifying Qi and blood in his body that was like a vast ocean.

1000.8 points.

Martial Master Realm.

He did not smile, nor did he show any emotion.

He just made an objective evaluation in his heart extremely calmly.

"Not bad."

That was all.

The dead silence on the playground lasted for several minutes.

Until Lin Xiaoxiao withdrew her fair hands from the sensor plate.

The piercing alarm sound finally stopped abruptly.

She turned around and casually tidied her high ponytail.

She ignored the proctor's ghostly expression, nor did she care about the extremely awe-filled gazes of the tens of thousands of people in the audience.

She stepped in her special tactical boots, strode with her long legs, and walked straight down from the testing platform.

The crowd parted like Moses parting the sea, automatically making a wide path for her.

No one dared to look her in the eye.

406 points of Qi and blood.

This was no longer a student; this was a humanoid Vicious Beast in the skin of a stunningly beautiful girl!

However.

When this "humanoid Vicious Beast" passed through the crowd and walked to the edge of the waiting area, the originally cold and arrogant aura instantly melted away like ice and snow.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in front of Su Yu.

She lifted her chin slightly, and on her pure and pretty face, there was undisguised smugness and pride.

She looked exactly like a little girl who had just scored full marks and couldn't wait to run home to wait for her parents' praise.

"How was it?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yu, her eyes shining brightly.

Su Yu looked at the girl in front of him with a sky-high background and terrifying strength, and just nodded calmly.

"Very impressive."

No flattery, no awe, just the most objective evaluation.

Hearing these three words.

The smile on Lin Xiaoxiao's face instantly bloomed, brighter than the morning sun.

"Of course!"

She snorted smugly and took a step forward.

Narrowing the distance between the two.

The faint fragrance on the girl, a mixture of high-end shampoo and a light scent of sweat, naturally wafted into Su Yu's nostrils.

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her right hand and clenched it into a delicate little fist.

Extremely naturally, she lightly punched Su Yu on the shoulder.

"In the future, when we go to Daxia Capital First Martial Arts University."

"I've got you covered!"

This punch was very light.

It did not carry a single bit of Qi and blood fluctuation; it was purely a little bit of physical contact the girl had deliberately created under the guise of a joke.
