"Martial Dao Second Layer!"
Inside Qing City First High School's Experimental Class, thunderous cries of shock rang out.
Everyone in the Experimental Class looked at Lin Tian as though he were a monster.
"You did say you'd break through to the Martial Dao Second Layer before the college entrance exam, but now that it's really happened, it's still hard to believe."
Qu Mu sighed with emotion.
"Since I decided to make demands of the Four Great Universities, I naturally need to show them what I'm capable of."
"My current strength shouldn't be considered weak."
Lin Tian smiled.
At the very least, among Qing Province's examinees, he was invincible.
As everyone chatted, their teacher, Wang Yang, entered the classroom.
"Lin Tian?"
"Looks like you've broken through to the Martial Dao Second Layer."
Wang Yang was somewhat surprised when he saw Lin Tian.
Tomorrow was the college entrance exam. Since Lin Tian had appeared here now, he must have already broken through to the Martial Dao Second Layer.
"Yes, Teacher Wang."
Wang Yang nodded.
"The information about your Martial Dao Second Layer breakthrough can't just be known by us. There needs to be recorded data as well. Those people from the Four Great Universities care greatly about that."
"At least during the early stages of Martial Dao, they do."
Wang Yang said.
"Alright."
Lin Tian nodded. Then, led by Wang Yang, he entered Qing City First High School's gymnasium, where there was a testing platform for measuring vital energy and blood.
The others from the Experimental Class followed as well. They wanted to witness Lin Tian's vital energy and blood at the Martial Dao Second Layer with their own eyes.
"Today is the day before the college entrance exam, so many senior students come to test their vital energy and blood, to give themselves more confidence."
"The Experimental Class has its own dedicated testing platform. Come with me."
Seeing many people inside the gymnasium waiting to use the testing platforms, Wang Yang explained to Lin Tian before leading him toward the Experimental Class's exclusive area.
"Isn't that the Experimental Class? I didn't expect them to come to the gymnasium to test their vital energy and blood even the day before the college entrance exam."
"I heard that two incredibly formidable people joined the Experimental Class a few days ago and directly snatched Jiang Mingyue's first-place ranking."
"What? Jiang Mingyue's first place was taken? Could they be someone from the Imperial Capital again?"
Upon hearing this, a senior student said angrily.
Even ordinary students like them knew about the Imperial Capital's actions, and they despised them deeply.
"No, I heard he came from a small city in Qing Province. He was the first to join the Experimental Class, and he's the one who took Jiang Mingyue's first place."
"What? Someone from a small city took first place?!"
"What about the second person? Couldn't he beat the first?"
Many students were stunned. This was the first time they had heard the news.
"Shh, keep it down. The Experimental Class hasn't gone far yet."
The person speaking cautiously looked toward the Experimental Class. Only after confirming that no one was looking over did he continue.
"I heard the second person is a genius from the Imperial Capital. He came specifically for first place in the Experimental Class. After all, it's a spot to enter the Secret Realm."
"So that's how it is. Those dogs from the Imperial Capital!"
Everyone grew furious at those words. It was this kind of thing again. Qing Province had lost who knew how many Secret Realm entry slots because of it.
"Don't get worked up. I'm not finished yet."
"First place in the Experimental Class wasn't taken by that guy from the Imperial Capital. It still belongs to that person."
"What? He actually defeated someone from the Imperial Capital!"
At that moment, they were utterly shocked.
Meanwhile, at the Experimental Class testing platform not far away, Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Tian with admiration.
"Lin Tian, they're all talking about you. Beating someone from the Imperial Capital really feels amazing!"
As he said this, Jiang Cheng looked at Geng Xian with a provocative expression. Those words were meant for Geng Xian.
Geng Xian could only choose to ignore him. He hadn't wanted to come either, but there were too many monsters in the Imperial Capital. What else could he do?
But who could have imagined that Qing Province had an even more monstrous fellow—the second Extreme Martial Artist on Blue Star!
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Lin Tian said with an expression of enjoyment.
"Mm... forget it. I'd better not say anything."
Seeing Lin Tian like this, Jiang Cheng chose to shut his mouth.
"Are you all going to test your vital energy and blood too?"
After activating the testing platform, Wang Yang looked at the Experimental Class students and asked.
"No need. We know where we stand. Just test Lin Tian's."
Everyone shook their heads.
They were all Martial Dao Second Layer martial artists. Entering Dragon Country's Four Great Universities was as certain as nails driven into a board.
Among them, only Jiang Mingyue and Geng Xian could make the Four Great Universities offer terms.
As for someone who could set his own terms and make Dragon Country's Four Great Universities choose, Lin Tian was the only one.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Tian stepped onto the testing platform.
400!
The instant those three numbers appeared, wave after wave of cheers erupted from the Experimental Class.
"He really is at the Martial Dao Second Layer!"
"This is actually real? In such a short time!"
The commotion from the Experimental Class naturally drew the attention of everyone else in the gymnasium.
"What's going on with the Experimental Class?"
"I think I heard Martial Dao Second Layer. Isn't the Martial Dao Second Layer the most basic requirement for the Experimental Class?"
They did not understand why the Experimental Class was cheering.
Beside the Experimental Class testing platform, Wang Yang stared at those three numbers, his expression somewhat blank.
"He really... broke through."
In his hand was a small sphere. The scene of Lin Tian testing his vital energy and blood had already been recorded by it and sent to the Martial Saint Yuanming.
Before long, this information would become known to Dragon Nation's upper echelons.
Someone truly could raise their vital energy and blood by one hundred points in just a few days!
"Alright, now that the test is done, let's head back. Today is the last day I'll be teaching you. Let's have a good talk today."
Wang Yang said to the Experimental Class with a smile.
Elsewhere, after the Martial Saint Yuanming at Qing Province Garrison Army headquarters received the video Wang Yang had sent, he sighed with emotion.
"Everything he said was true. In that case, the Four Great Universities need to seriously consider what level of conditions they can accept."
As long as Lin Tian could break through to the Martial Dao Second Layer before the college entrance exam, he would have the qualifications to make harsh demands of Dragon Country's Four Great Universities.
Now, the only question was what conditions Dragon Country's Four Great Universities could accept at most.
"This video really needs to be sent back to the Imperial Capital for those people to see. What kind of attitude should Dragon Nation take toward Lin Tian, this Extreme Martial Artist?"
Dragon Nation, the Imperial Capital's Imperial Court!
"Yuanming sent over a video. It's said to be of that Extreme Martial Artist. Let's all take a look."
An aged voice echoed through the Imperial Court.
Whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, several figures appeared inside an enormous conference hall.
"That kid who's an Extreme Martial Artist is supposedly quite arrogant. He's right up my alley."
A plump old man said.
"Enough. Watch the video. I reckon it'll shock all of you."
An elderly man with a head full of white hair smiled from the seat of honor in the conference hall.
Then, the video of Lin Tian's test began playing.
"Four hundred points of vital energy and blood? Didn't word only come out a few days ago that he had just reached two hundred points and become an Extreme Martial Artist?"
The moment they saw Lin Tian's vital energy and blood, the others were filled with doubt.
"This is what makes this Extreme Martial Artist special. In just these few days, he rose from two hundred points of vital energy and blood to four hundred."
"This little fellow has truly given us a heaven-shaking surprise."
The aged old man said with a smile.
"In one month, he went from ninety-eight points of vital energy and blood to becoming an Extreme Martial Artist, then took less than ten days to break through to the Martial Dao Second Layer. There may be a powerful force backing him."
"But no matter what, this little fellow is one of us in Dragon Nation."
"What do you all think we should do?"
"The little fellow's identity has basically already become known to the major forces of Dragon Nation."
The aged old man's words plunged the people in the conference hall into deep thought.
After a long while, it was still the plump old man who spoke first.
"Since the identity of the Extreme Martial Artist has already been exposed, there's no need to hide it any longer."
"Let's take this college entrance exam as an opportunity to announce Lin Tian's name as an Extreme Martial Artist to the entire nation."
"I believe it won't be long before this kid's name resounds across Blue Star!"
