"…"
Everyone's faces twitched a little at Luo Xiu's words.
This kid was definitely showing off!
Jiang Gengyao almost spat out a mouthful of phlegm, his face turning bright red.
"…"
Even the supervisor was momentarily speechless, clearly caught off guard.
Wasn't this student asking an obvious question?!
With a push force of 2009 kg and punch power of 20.36 tons, if he couldn't qualify for the Martial Examination, who else could?!
Even nationwide, you could count on one hand the number of people at this level.
"Ahem!"
The supervisor quickly cleared his throat: "You can!"
"In principle, after one test, candidates may choose to keep or forfeit their results."
He explained helplessly on the side.
Luo Xiu nodded seriously: "Alright then, I'll just test once!"
"As long as I can participate in the Martial Examination—"
"Enough!"
Jiang Gengyao hastily raised his hand to stop Luo Xiu from continuing.
He feared that if Luo Xiu went on, the whole crowd would gang up on him and beat him up.
This guy had just stabbed everyone in the heart.
Everyone's inner thoughts were like a thousand wild horses galloping past, drenched with a flood of insults.
"Luo Xiu just can't help but flex every time he opens his mouth!"
"Not very damaging physically, but the insult is brutal!"
"So basically, none of us are worthy of the Martial Examination?!"
Countless students whispered quietly, afraid to openly challenge Luo Xiu.
Right now, he was clearly the top student at Su City No.2 Middle School!
Who would dare provoke him?
That'd be suicide!
"…"
Seeing everyone ready to fight him, Luo Xiu wasn't afraid but knew he'd stir up a crowd's anger if he kept talking.
He smiled faintly and stood aside with his hands in his pockets.
His pajamas and relaxed posture created an oddly out-of-place image.
"Well, is the preliminary test over?"
Jiang Gengyao glanced at several testing points. The last few stragglers from other classes were nearly finished.
Examiners were tallying the test data, while supervisors confirmed any issues or omissions.
After verification, Du Yingbo nodded at Jiang Gengyao.
"Good, the 2211 Martial Examination preliminary test is officially concluded!"
Jiang Gengyao stood on the platform, his voice carrying clearly across the arena:
"Soon the Education Committee will distribute the list of qualified students to each homeroom teacher. Those with Martial Examination eligibility will also receive their individual codes."
"Good luck to everyone in the upcoming Martial Examination. May you all enter your dream martial schools!"
"Those not qualifying should not be discouraged. Ordinary universities also provide paths to becoming Warriors. Even if you don't reach Warrior status, you can still contribute to society and the country!"
"Luo Xiu, Lin Qiuli, and Su Yi—please remain behind. Everyone else dismissed."
A group of students, led by their homeroom teachers, headed toward the teaching building.
Countless eyes filled with envy watched the three on the playground.
Everyone knew that from now on, they'd have little interaction with these three.
Even Warriors were mostly assigned to domestic duties in government agencies like the Martial Arts Bureau, police, or education departments.
They didn't face battlefields or monstrous beasts but maintained national order.
Though also Warriors, their status was incomparable to someone like Luo Xiu.
Many might never reach Advanced Warrior level in their lifetimes, but for Luo Xiu and the others, Advanced Warrior was probably just the beginning.
"Let's go."
"Meet me in my office."
Jiang Gengyao gave the trio a satisfied glance, especially at Luo Xiu.
Today's test had broadened his horizons.
A push force of 2009 kg and punch power of 20.36 tons—everything fascinated him.
Despite Luo Xiu's mismatched pajamas, Jiang Gengyao felt the kid's authenticity.
Great talents often stood out as eccentric and unkempt—much like the great scientists of a century ago.
The group followed Jiang Gengyao toward the principal's office.
Meanwhile, examiners and supervisors began disassembling and packing up the test equipment onto transport vehicles.
Five minutes later, sweating heavily, Xiao Ming returned.
He looked at the nearly empty playground, his expression shifting.
"Wait… wait a moment!"
Xiao Ming hurried to a supervisor, panting: "Supervisor, is the test… over?"
"Yes, why?"
The supervisor recognized Xiao Ming as a fellow Advanced Warrior and teacher.
"Nothing… it's just…"
Xiao Ming was frustrated. He had searched everywhere near Luo Xiu's home and asked around but couldn't find him.
The kid seemed to have vanished from the world.
"Ah well, next year then."
"What a pity for such talent!"
"Missing a year means next time he'll face university students in the 'special Martial Examination'—competition will be fiercer."
Xiao Ming shook his head, feeling regret for Luo Xiu.
"Forget it. I wonder how Qiuli did?"
Xiao Ming approached an examiner who was just about to laser-seal the printed list to send to the Education Committee.
"Hello, I'm the teacher responsible for this preliminary test at the school."
"May I see the test results?"
Xiao Ming showed his work badge. The examiner checked and pointed to a photocopied file nearby.
"Here, the original goes to the Education Committee now."
"Thanks!"
Xiao Ming scanned the list of students qualified for next month's Martial Examination—39 students in total.
At the top was Luo Xiu.
"…"
Xiao Ming thought he was seeing things.
He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again, then abruptly grabbed the examiner's arm:
"Examiner, did this student actually come for the test?"
He pointed at Luo Xiu's name at number one.
The examiner was annoyed but, seeing Xiao Ming's expression, replied impatiently:
"Yes, he came. Almost missed the preliminary test."
"Can… you let go of me?"
"Okay, okay!"
Xiao Ming let go but stared intently at Luo Xiu's results.
That 2009 kg push force and 20.36 tons punch power dazzled his eyes.
"How… much?!"
"2009 kg push force?"
"20.36 tons punch power?"
"How is this possible?"
"Is this fake?"
Xiao Ming looked dumbfounded.
The examiner who was just freed, noticing Xiao Ming's shock, patted his shoulder:
"This data is real!"
"This student has a limitless future!"
With that, he took the sealed file and headed toward the Education Committee building, leaving Xiao Ming alone on the playground, shaken and questioning everything.
