"Huff…"
Luo Xiu gasped as he reached Jiang Gengyao.
He had gone all out to make the preliminary test.
When leaving home, he ran at a Warrior's speed—only a few times faster than a normal person.
Now, his speed was like the legendary Lingbo Weibu or Shenxing Baibian footwork, leaving afterimages behind.
No one except Jiang Gengyao, Du Yingbo, and a few others had ever seen such speed.
Not even Quasi-Warriors, much less Warriors, could move this fast.
Only Manifested Strength or Hidden Strength experts mastering special force application could run like this.
But this student was obviously neither Manifested nor Hidden Strength.
"Who is this student?"
Du Yingbo pointed at Luo Xiu, eyes still full of shock, and looked at Jiang Gengyao.
"Luo Xiu, go… line up!"
"Last for Class 7!"
Jiang Gengyao exhaled, gesturing toward Class 7.
"Got it!"
Luo Xiu adjusted his breathing and walked with a surprised Lin Qiuli toward Class 7.
The students looked at him curiously.
Chen Fan, having just finished, said, "Boss, your speed… that's crazy!"
"Grandmaster taught you, right?"
Lin Qiuli and others perked up their ears.
"No idea!"
Luo Xiu feigned ignorance but knew it was the "Divine Foot" skill from Marrow Cleansing Classic that caused it.
The six divine skills in Marrow Cleansing Classic—Buddhist six supernatural powers—were: Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, Past Life, Divine Foot, and Extinction.
Luo Xiu had only scratched the surface of Divine Foot, but even that gave him speed rivaling Hidden Strength experts, far surpassing Manifested Strength.
"That's some bragging!"
"Must be Grandmaster's teaching!"
"Jealous and envious!"
The crowd doubted Luo Xiu, and he shrugged, joining the last line.
He waved a hand teasingly at Lin Qiuli: "Hey, Qiu girl, done testing?"
"Qiu girl?"
Lin Qiuli was amused and annoyed: "Who's your Qiu girl?"
"You are. What else should I call you? Ali? Old Lin—"
"Stop!"
Lin Qiuli quickly raised a hand: "Just call me by name!"
"Names feel strange."
"After all, I'm the man who knows your secret!"
Luo Xiu joked, but Lin Qiuli pointed at the test point: "The secret's out now!"
"Oh?"
"You finally dared to show your strength?"
"Going all out?"
Luo Xiu glanced at the screen. Though Lin Qiuli's score was hidden, Chen Fan joked, "Boss lady's strength… better not know it."
"Too crushing!"
"Crushing?"
Luo Xiu smirked, "We'll see who's crushing who!"
"Just a Warrior!"
He stared at Lin Qiuli, making her feel inexplicably nervous.
"You… probably became a Warrior too, right?"
Lin Qiuli honestly hadn't considered Su Yi a real threat; she broke through to Warrior months ago, and Su Yi, even with the Gene Potion, was still slightly behind.
Only Luo Xiu gave her a real sense of rivalry—someone who could see her Warrior strength at a glance.
"You'll find out soon!"
Luo Xiu fell silent and queued up to await his test.
Meanwhile, Jiang Gengyao and Du Yingbo stood on the playground's elevated platform, eyes locked not on the test points, but on Luo Xiu's direction.
"Principal Jiang, this student must be your school's greatest asset?"
Du Yingbo's gaze sharpened.
Jiang Gengyao nodded: "Yes, I once thought he was an ordinary student. Now I realize I underestimated the meaning of being a Grandmaster's disciple!"
"Which Grandmaster?"
Du Yingbo asked, astonished.
"I wondered how he could have such speed without mastering force application—this must be a top-level footwork technique."
"Yes, I suspected the same."
"So the preliminary test results have great suspense!"
Jiang Gengyao laughed heartily, his earlier worries vanished, replaced by high expectations for Luo Xiu's performance.
"Principal Jiang, you haven't told me which Grandmaster yet."
Grandmasters were numerous but mysterious—well-known names across Summer Country.
"If I knew, I'd have told you…"
Jiang Gengyao shook his head and whispered, "I wonder if he hid his strength last test."
"This time… hope he gives his all!"
Usually after early tests, the rest were dull, but Jiang Gengyao watched the entire process.
By now, Class 1 and 2 had finished.
Class 7's second last tester, Fang Ping, had just completed, and the supervisor called out:
"Class 7, No. 049, Luo Xiu proceed!"
Whoa!
Every eye in the arena turned toward Class 7's test point.
"Almost done!"
Luo Xiu glanced around then smiled at Lin Qiuli: "Qiu girl, don't blink later!"
Swish!
Under Lin Qiuli's "gentle" gaze, Luo Xiu stepped firmly into the test container.
His preliminary test officially began!
