Kill Those Who Leave, the City Lord Arrives!

"Extreme Martial Artist?"

The moment those four words left Wang Yue's mouth, everyone was stunned.

They looked at the figure on the testing platform as though a lifetime had passed.

The Lin Tian of old had once been this dazzling. Now, he had returned.

"Impossible!"

Two different voices rang out at the same time, from Li Ming and Liu Qing respectively.

They were shocked and furious, unwilling to believe that Lin Tian had become an Extreme Martial Artist.

"Last month, Lin Tian was trash with only ninety-eight Vitality Value. How could he possibly become an Extreme Martial Artist with two hundred Vitality Value this month!"

"I request another test. Replace it with a new machine and test again."

Li Ming spoke with a grave expression.

This resonated with many students. They, too, were unwilling to believe that Lin Tian had become an Extreme Martial Artist.

Seeing the reactions of the many students, Wang Yue discussed it with the principal before asking for Lin Tian's opinion.

"Since that is the case, how about replacing it with another machine for another test?"

"I have no problem with that."

Lin Tian nodded, looking entirely indifferent.

The fact that he was an Extreme Martial Artist was set in stone. No matter how many machines they changed, the result would be the same.

"Replace the machine."

After receiving Lin Tian's agreement, Wang Yue exchanged a glance with the principal and left directly.

"Lin Tian, this machine is too old. It has malfunctioned. You can only be happy for a little while longer."

Li Ming glared at Lin Tian with a sinister expression.

"Oh, really?"

Lin Tian smiled teasingly.

"Li Ming, if this is real, what will you do?"

"Will you go mad?"

"That is absolutely impossible!"

Li Ming roared.

"Haha, Li Ming, are you scared already?"

"This isn't like you. Didn't you just make such vicious threats?"

Lin Tian laughed wildly, then looked down at Li Ming below the platform and said in exactly the same tone.

"Li Ming, I'll return those words to you."

"You are nothing but a bug, a crawling insect. You can only look up at me from the very bottom, using those eyes that will never see a trace of brilliance to watch me grow stronger and stronger, step by step."

"And you can only sob quietly in some corner, lamenting that you are merely a tiny bug, only able to survive in dark, filthy corners."

"Li Ming, run. Escape. Flee to the most remote, filthy corner in this last bit of time you have left, and never let me see you again."

"Otherwise, I'll crush you to death!"

Lin Tian's words directly froze Li Ming in place. It was as though he had truly seen that scene.

The scene of himself being crushed to death by Lin Tian!

He then violently shook his head and loudly refuted it.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! There's something wrong with this machine."

Everyone could see Li Ming's fear. Just because of Lin Tian's words, Li Ming had become flustered, no longer carrying his previous arrogance.

"Of course he can't be one. How could trash who didn't even have one hundred Vitality Value a month ago possibly become an Extreme Martial Artist?"

At that moment, Liu Qing's voice rang out, as though giving Li Ming the courage to argue back.

"Yes, yes! Lin Tian absolutely cannot be an Extreme Martial Artist. The machine must be broken."

Liu Qing looked at Lin Tian arrogantly and spoke with disdain.

"Lin Tian, you can only be happy for this little while. Once the new machine arrives, you will inevitably become a rat everyone wants to beat—a mere bug."

"Even I, who am connected to that expert, could only increase my Vitality Value by thirty-eight points in a month. How could you possibly become an Extreme Martial Artist?"

Liu Qing mentioned that Great Sun from yesterday again, and her words convinced quite a few people.

Even Liu Qing, who was connected to the Great Sun, could only increase her Vitality Value by thirty-eight points in one month.

How could Lin Tian, who had no resources to help him, possibly rise from ninety-eight Vitality Value to the two hundred Vitality Value needed for an Extreme Martial Artist in one month?

If becoming an Extreme Martial Artist were truly that easy, everyone in Dragon Nation would be an Extreme Martial Artist.

"Liu Qing, are you really connected to the expert within that Great Sun?"

At this moment, Lin Tian's skeptical voice rang out.

Liu Qing's body trembled for an instant before she quickly returned to normal and said arrogantly.

"Of course!"

"Oh, I see."

"Connected to such an expert, yet you could only raise your Vitality Value by thirty-eight points in a month. Doesn't that make you trash?"

Lin Tian wore an astonished expression.

"Th-this... that's only because that expert appeared yesterday, so my Vitality Value only rose sharply yesterday."

Faced with Lin Tian's questioning, Liu Qing stammered out her response.

"Oh, really?"

"Then do you know what realm that was?"

"Anyone can guess that realms stronger than the Martial Dao Ninth Level exist. You only said it was above the Martial Dao Ninth Level, but none of us know what that means."

"Can you specifically tell us that expert's realm?"

"After all, that expert acted to increase your Vitality Value. Your relationship must be anything but ordinary, right?"

Lin Tian's series of questions directly rendered Liu Qing speechless. She had only just thought of yesterday's expert while on the way here.

Everyone heard the exchange between Lin Tian and Liu Qing, and their entirely different performances gave them much to think about.

Many people turned suspicious gazes toward Liu Qing. She was so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground, desperately trying to think of an excuse to muddle through.

Just then, Wang Yue appeared on the field once more, bringing the new machine with him.

When the test result appeared again, those three digits remained unchanged.

"I don't believe it!"

Li Ming shouted from below the platform, then rushed onto it and stepped onto the testing platform.

When the Vitality Value of two hundred and fifty appeared, Li Ming could not help taking several steps back.

His own Vitality Value had not changed, which meant Lin Tian's Vitality Value was real.

He could not believe it.

"Right! Lin Tian might not be an Extreme Martial Artist. He might have broken through to become a Martial Artist first, then reached two hundred Vitality Value."

Li Ming seemed to have grabbed onto a lifeline and hurriedly looked at Wang Yue and the others.

But after he said those words, everyone looked at him as though he were an idiot.

The mark of becoming a Martial Artist was active vitality surrounding one's body. Yet Lin Tian could only display his vitality through the testing platform, so he clearly could not be a Martial Artist.

Lin Tian being an Extreme Martial Artist was an indisputable fact.

After confirming this, the principal of Second Middle School and Wang Yue instantly rose and came before Lin Tian.

"No one is to leave this place by even half a step. Anyone who violates this order will be killed without mercy!"

Wang Yue instantly released his aura. The powerful force of the Late Stage of Martial Dao Fourth Layer pressed down on everyone until they could barely breathe.

Meanwhile, the principal beside him took out a small communication device and pressed it.

"Before the city lord arrives, no one may leave this place."

The principal looked at everyone and spoke in a deep voice.

The appearance of an Extreme Martial Artist during this physical test had exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the three thousand years since Blue Star's spiritual energy revival, only one Extreme Martial Artist had appeared. Yet now, another had appeared—and at their Yicheng Second Middle School.

Otherwise, they would not have gathered all the teachers and senior-year students here.

"Principal, Director, why won't you let us leave!"

"I'm leaving anyway."

A student below shouted in dissatisfaction, then directly ran toward the edge of the field.

"Wang Yue!"

The instant the principal shouted those words, Wang Yue's figure had already shot out like a bolt, appearing before the fleeing student in an instant.

"Director, what right do you have to stop me from leaving?"

The moment the student finished speaking, he saw Wang Yue's palm strike down at him.

A lump of mangled flesh appeared on the school field just like that.

"Ah! Ah!"

The students who witnessed the scene were so terrified that they screamed themselves hoarse.

"Murder! The teacher murdered someone!"

Panic instantly spread through the students.

"Quiet!"

Wang Yue shouted, using his own power to suppress the chaotic students.

He looked coldly at the crowd of students before him and slowly spoke.

"If anyone else tries to leave, this will be their fate."

After saying that, Wang Yue returned to Lin Tian's side once more, protecting Lin Tian together with the principal.

As for the student he had struck to death, he did not care what identity the other party had. Since this involved an Extreme Martial Artist, even slaughtering every student in Second Middle School would be acceptable.

Dragon Nation's higher-ups would handle the aftermath afterward.

"It seems the importance of an Extreme Martial Artist exceeds my imagination."

Seeing Wang Yue kill a student without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian was inwardly shocked.

The student who had openly tried to flee might have been a spy from an enemy nation, but he might also have been an ordinary student.

Yet Wang Yue would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one slip through.

Under such intimidation, no one, including the teachers in the stands, dared make any other move.

Three minutes later, a figure descended from the sky and landed beside the principal of Second Middle School.

Seeing Yicheng City Lord Zhao Cheng arrive, Wang Yue and the principal finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"City Lord, an Extreme Martial Artist has appeared!"
