Repay Grudges

Deng Rensheng had been watching Wang Tianyu all along and saw the fierce look in his eyes.

Deng Rensheng immediately knew that he had failed to persuade Wang Tianyu.

In truth, Deng Rensheng was someone who cared greatly about saving face.

There was a reason Deng Rensheng was acting so disgracefully now.

He was doing it to keep Wang Tianyu from eliminating him.

The martial arts exam was simply too important. Since there were other martial artists in his family, Deng Rensheng knew more than Wang Tianyu did.

The martial arts exam was not like an academic exam, where poor performance still allowed you to repeat a year and take it again.

There was only one chance at the martial arts exam. Once he failed, it meant Deng Rensheng would be forever shut out from martial arts universities.

Martial cultivation had always been about the survival of the fittest.

If Deng Rensheng could not pass this martial arts exam, it meant that he would never be able to enter a martial arts university for the rest of his life.

Without entering a martial arts university, he would not receive the cultivation techniques and resources they provided.

Then his path of martial arts would come to an end.

"Wang Tianyu, as long as you let me go, I'm willing to pay any price."

Deng Rensheng was still trying his best. He knew he was no match for Wang Tianyu.

There was only one way to get past this hurdle: Wang Tianyu had to let him go willingly.

"Name your price. I'll give you all my family's money."

"Women? I'll give Xie Hongmei to you. My family has several prettier ones too. I'll give them all to you."

Deng Rensheng was panicking badly. He still hoped he could move Wang Tianyu.

Wang Tianyu did not continue listening to Deng Rensheng's nonsense.

He was aiming for first place in the martial arts exam. He had no time to waste.

A vicious glint flashed through Wang Tianyu's eyes. Without saying a word, he attacked with lightning speed.

Bang! Bang!

Even at his peak, Deng Rensheng had not been Wang Tianyu's match, much less now, when half his vigor and spirit had already drained away.

Deng Rensheng's block did nothing. Wang Tianyu's two punches landed solidly on him.

After taking those two punches, Deng Rensheng lay on the ground, vomiting blood.

Even after Deng Rensheng lost his ability to fight, Wang Tianyu did not stop.

Deng Rensheng wore his scoring device on his right wrist. Wang Tianyu lifted Deng Rensheng's right hand, making as if to take the scoring device from his wrist.

"Don't!"

Deng Rensheng was extremely weak now, but he struggled to pull back his right hand.

Crack.

Wang Tianyu exerted force with his hand.

There was a sharp crack from Deng Rensheng's arm bones, followed by a piercing scream from his mouth.

Wang Tianyu had been ruthless. He had directly broken Deng Rensheng's arm.

"You had someone try to cripple one of my hands. Now I've crippled one of yours. Fair, isn't it?"

After saying that, Wang Tianyu removed the scoring device from Deng Rensheng's wrist.

Holding Deng Rensheng's scoring device, Wang Tianyu transferred the points the way the staff had explained.

When he held the two scoring devices together, Wang Tianyu felt his own device vibrate.

Then the number on the scoring device around Wang Tianyu's wrist changed from 2 to 4.

"Only 4 points. I need to hurry."

After transferring Deng Rensheng's points, Wang Tianyu looked at the giant wolf lying on the ground.

The giant wolf's scoring device had no wristband; it had been attached directly to its ear.

Wang Tianyu had no intention of overlooking that single point on the giant wolf.

After repeating the same process, Wang Tianyu's score became 5.

"This kid's not bad. He's got some fire in him. I like that."

Outside, Li Wan, the mayor of Qingjiang City and an exam proctor, smiled and praised him before taking a sip from his cup.

Numerous cameras had been set up throughout the examination grounds, recording Wang Tianyu and the others with perfect clarity.

The laptop in Li Wan's hands displayed footage from every camera.

With no particular target in mind, Li Wan had originally been clicking through the feeds at random.

By chance, Li Wan noticed Wang Tianyu.

At first, Li Wan had not found anything particularly remarkable about him.

It was only because most examinees had prioritized the giant wolves as their targets.

Wang Tianyu, meanwhile, was the first examinee to make a move and seize someone else's points.

That was why Li Wan had kept his eyes on Wang Tianyu.

Seeing Wang Tianyu remain unmoved by Deng Rensheng's temptations and cleanly cripple Deng Rensheng, Li Wan smiled and nodded.

The cameras in the examination grounds did more than record images; they also transmitted sound.

Li Wan had heard Deng Rensheng and Wang Tianyu's conversation clearly as well.

With Li Wan's many years of experience, he could tell at a glance what Deng Rensheng was planning.

That Wang Tianyu could make such a decisive choice at his age made Li Wan think even more highly of him.

"Old Zhang, take a look at Camera Eight. I found a good prospect."

Li Wan called over the director of the Martial Management Bureau, signaling for him to come watch Wang Tianyu with him.

"Really? Just how good is this prospect? Let me have a look."

As he spoke, the director of the Martial Management Bureau switched the feed to Wang Tianyu as well.

Wang Tianyu had no idea Li Wan was praising him.

After taking the giant wolf's points, he turned and continued searching for other targets.

Wang Tianyu had not intended to kill Deng Rensheng. With the exam rules in place, he would not take that risk.

Still, Deng Rensheng's condition was far from good. Wang Tianyu had been especially vicious just now.

Not long after Wang Tianyu left, a soldier jumped down from a large tree some distance away.

The soldier strode quickly to Deng Rensheng's side. Looking at Deng Rensheng lying on the ground, the cold expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

Deng Rensheng had little consciousness left. He merely groaned in pain in a daze.

The soldier lifted Deng Rensheng with one hand, tucked him under his arm, and left the area at high speed.

"Give me the scoring device. Otherwise, it won't be so simple in a moment."

A male student stood in front of Wang Tianyu.

There was blood at the corner of the student's mouth. Clearly, Wang Tianyu had already exchanged blows with him.

At first, the student had hidden behind a huge tree.

When he saw Wang Tianyu approach, he chose to ambush him.

However, due to the gap in their strength, the carefully prepared ambush failed.

After dodging the student's attack, Wang Tianyu smashed a fist into the ambusher's face.

The student wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"If you want my points, come take them yourself."

Handing the scoring device over to Wang Tianyu meant being eliminated.

The student knew he had chosen the wrong target, but since it had already happened, he could only brace himself and fight Wang Tianyu.

There was naturally no surprise in the outcome. After a few exchanges, the student was lying on the ground.

"I gave you the chance to hand it over yourself, but you refused. You just had to suffer a little before you'd be satisfied."

After grumbling at the student, Wang Tianyu prepared to take the scoring device from his hand.

Wang Tianyu's movement startled the student.

The student thought Wang Tianyu resented his earlier ambush and was coming over to take revenge on his injured self.

Terrified beyond measure, the student did not think twice before struggling to press the emergency button on his scoring device.

"You may take the scoring device, but you may not attack him again."

It seemed that soldiers happened to be patrolling nearby. Less than ten seconds after the student pressed the distress signal, a stern-faced soldier appeared before Wang Tianyu.

"Where was this guy hiding?"

The soldier was far stronger than Wang Tianyu and the others. Wang Tianyu had not noticed anyone else nearby at all.

Fortunately, the soldier had no intention of harming him, so Wang Tianyu did not dwell on it.

"I wasn't planning to do anything else. I only wanted to take the scoring device."

After explaining himself to the soldier, Wang Tianyu removed the scoring device from the student.

His wrist vibrated again, and the points in Wang Tianyu's scoring device became 9.

It can work like this?

At first, Wang Tianyu had only 5 points.

He had two points himself, seized two from Deng Rensheng, and gained one from the giant wolf.

Now, the student who had ambushed him had 4 points in his scoring device.

Whether the student had seized another examinee's points,

or earned points from two giant wolves,

Wang Tianyu did not care where the student's points had come from.

At that moment, Wang Tianyu discovered a quick way to increase his points.

That was to directly seize other people's scoring devices.

By defeating other examinees, Wang Tianyu could take all the points in their scoring devices.

This was much faster than going around looking for trouble with giant wolves.

Having made up his mind, Wang Tianyu smiled at the soldier and left.

The soldier said nothing more and watched Wang Tianyu depart.

Only then did he turn his gaze toward the student on the ground.

The student's injuries were not light. He probably could not walk down the mountain on his own.

These soldiers all carried people in the same way.

The soldier picked up the student from the ground with one hand and tucked him under his arm.

"Ow, it hurts..."

The student's cry of pain did not draw the soldier's attention at all.
