Chapter 121: 0111 Money is life

Lu Chenzhou, after reading the introduction, found that the "Void Avoidance Protective Clothing" was actually divided into three models: low, medium, and high, corresponding to the levels of danger posed by Floating Level Void Things.

The most common white Floating Spirits were considered Low-Level Void Things.

Such Void Things mainly attacked using illusions, accompanied by Yin Wind and eerie sounds as spiritual attacks, only capable of frightening feeble mortals and low-ranked Martial Artists. When their target’s spirit was shattered, they would invade the body with their cold, evil energy and devour the victim.

For Medium-Level Void Things, their methods were more diverse.

The Beauty Head parasitic Void Thing that Lu Chenzhou had killed at the villa that day was considered a Medium-Level Void Thing, according to Officer Chen. Its lethality was strong, but because it had a physical weakness, it was easier to deal with than the typical spiritual Medium-Level Void Things.

As for High-Level Void Things, their strange methods were endless and unpredictable. Chen Zhen said that unless one was a Martial Artist or a Tenth Rank expert, encountering such would mean it was crucial to flee immediately!

"Intermediate Protective Suit, ten million, the same price as my master’s beloved blade,"

Lu Chenzhou clicked his tongue in amazement. The official website stated that the intermediate protective suits could defend against Medium-Level Void Things and also withstand medium-caliber rifle bullets, buffering the impact and, with the exceptional physical condition of a Martial Artist, most gunfire was not a concern.

"Advanced Protective Suit, made from the most advanced materials, is embedded with a Virtual Magnetic Field generator, valued at 30 million. That’s the price of ten houses in Su City."

Upon reading this, Lu Chenzhou’s eyes widened.

The Advanced Protective Suit could even prevent large-caliber rifle bullets from penetrating, and when encountering High-Level Void Things, it would automatically emit a Virtual Magnetic Field, capable of resisting for a period of time. With such a garment, unless encountering Void Things beyond the Floating Level, or if too far from the urban area, one could hold out until the police arrived. The only downside was the cost.

Of course.

The "bulletproof" aspect of the protective suits was only intended for criminal elements with conventional firearms. The Da Xia military had some cutting-edge individual firearms technology, but criminal elements’ equipment was often a version behind the military’s, not currently a concern.

"In this era, money is life."

Lu Chenzhou saw that the intermediate and advanced protective suits were out of stock, just like the Void Blades—too low production to meet the demand of the influential and powerful.

For some, 30 million was mere pocket change.

Once Lu Chenzhou had the money, he would definitely get an Advanced Void Protection Suit for himself and one for each of his parents. These suits could be worn as regular liners; warm in winter and cool in summer, and they were non-washable. They also had great elasticity and toughness; they wouldn’t become unwearable due to growth unless one grew into a giant like those Western fighters.

"Even if I become a Martial Artist later, wearing an extra protective suit when facing enemies and Void Things is an extra layer of security, and I can use one for a long time."

Of course, wearing a technological protective suit would not be allowed in formal competitions. However, the safety factor in competitions was very high, even the Su City exchange matches were guarded by Grandmasters.

Lu Chenzhou was not worried about being assassinated during a competition.

"Better start saving."

He intended to buy a Low-Level Protective Suit first, which would greatly enhance his safety when outdoors. With both technology and Martial Arts combined, like stacking armor, Lu Chenzhou could feel secure.

...

January 10.

The winter exam arrived as scheduled, and Su City was swept by a chilly wind.

Inside the classroom for the written exam, the students were all incredibly nervous.

The most nervous among them was Liu Huan.

He also wanted to obtain a Class A rating; he had reached the Seventh Rank in his junior year and had recently comprehended the crucial Hua Realm, feeling that he stood a chance. Now, with the Su City campus short-staffed, there might be a bit more leniency.

In the back of the classroom, Lu Chenzhou had finished the "Martial Arts History" exam paper twenty minutes early. The previous summer exam, he had come late and hadn’t even finished it. He didn’t waste a minute and went to train at the practice field during the break.

"How did he finish so fast?"

"Faster than Wen Tiange."

"Damn, is Chenzhou going to rank first in this written test?"

Everyone internally marveled. Whether it be in Martial Arts or academics, the current Lu Chenzhou was unequivocally a silent, formidable Demon King!

Many secretly set him as their goal.

...

Two days later, the written exam ended.

That evening, the results of various courses were freshly released, and in the evening classroom, class representative Wen Tiange held the report card as everyone’s gazes turned toward him in unison.

He paused, then looking at Lu Chenzhou, he said,

"First place, Wen Tiange, 766 points."

"Second place, Lu Chenzhou, 753 points."

Wen Tiange’s unbeaten legend had persisted, but it was a very close call, nearly being usurped by Lu Chenzhou, and it was incredibly thrilling.

The classmates breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Lu Chenzhou was only second.

"Good, Chenzhou still seems human, not a monster."

"I almost thought he was going to top the class."

"This guy’s comprehension and learning ability are too strong."

Next, Wen Tiange looked at Liu Huan, who was full of expectation, and continued,

"Fourth place, Liu Huan, 714."

Liu Huan laughed heartily, excitedly slapping his thigh.

His performance in the written test had been very good, and he hoped to strive for Class A.

The next day.

The real Martial Arts assessment arrived.

Still organized by the students’ admission numbers, Lu Chenzhou was third from last, followed by two transfer students. Liu Huan was the first to go out, his back resolute.

Soon, he came back, his expression subtly ecstatic. The teachers hadn’t explicitly told him the results of his assessment, which meant he also had a chance at being rated Class A!

The three key members, Tiger Teeth Girl, Liu Quanhai, and other outstanding students in the class were still Class B Martial Artists. Indeed, maintaining Class B was already commendable; such people could stay for further studies at Dragon City Martial Arts University after four diligent years.

As the day passed, most students returned to the classroom with joyful expressions, having all passed, except for one individual who seemed utterly dejected, clearly destined to leave.

Finally, it was Lu Chenzhou’s turn at the training ground.

Yu Zheng smiled slightly, waving his hand and said,

"You can go back, you’ve already been internally determined for Class A. You can say your goodbyes early to your classmates and start studying about Dragon City Martial Arts University... and embrace your college life."

The judging panel had already seen Lu Chenzhou’s competition videos; an assessment was needless. If they couldn’t rate Lu Chenzhou as Class A, it would only mean the panel was blind.

Lu Chenzhou thanked him, his heart calm as he turned and returned to the classroom.

Class A was just the beginning for him.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou return so quickly, the classmates were all stunned.

Liu Quanhai asked,

"Chenzhou... you’re not taking the assessment?"

Liu Huan said enviously,

"Assessment? What for! He’s definitely been exempted and accepted into university directly!"

Tiger Teeth Girl laughed,

"Chenzhou, you’ve laid the groundwork early in Su City Dragon Martial. Plant the trees so we can enjoy the shade later on. When we arrive, don’t pretend you don’t know us."

Everyone was envious, and some were a bit jealous.

It’s all part of human nature.

They were more happy and reluctant.

Without the top scorer, it somehow felt like there was less motivation.
