Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2419

At that moment, cheers and laughter filled the entire room. Compared to their initial seriousness and tension when everyone first arrived, they were more relaxed after talking to Lucio. "Mr. Lou is good. He has such a friendly attitude!"

"I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to meet such a kind captain."

"Not only is he kind, but Mr. Lou has also shared so much information with us."

Everyone discussed in excitement while showing their appreciation for Lucio.

However, amidst the crowd's praises, Fade kept a serious expression on his face, and his emotions were unreadable.

"Are you okay, Fade? Why are you unhappy?" Joey asked with concern.

He looked at her, then glanced at Halston and the others. "Don't let down your guard. Don't believe everything others say," he said solemnly.

Upon hearing his reminder, Joey and the others shuddered as if they had thought of something.

They nodded and did not say anything else. Instead, they began to meditate and cultivate.

Meanwhile, several people marched towards Lucio as he left the bedroom.

The leader, a man in a black robe, looked at him with a cold smile and said, "Lucio, are you starting to buy people over again?"

Lucio said with a smile, "Pierzy, I was only having a casual conversation with the students. You think too much."

"Casual conversation? Haha! Everyone knows about your trick of bewitching others with your talk," Pierzy sneered.

Beside him, a woman in a red robe spoke, "These are only little tricks, after all. You can only impress them with your Hall's true ability. Your little tricks can't make up for it."

"Suanne is right. You are only a bunch of lowlifes trying to buy people over by playing tricks. Haha!" Pierzy said bluntly.

Lucio's face fell upon hearing those words. His gentle expression turned cold instantly.

However, he quickly regained his composure and replied with a smile, "Pierzy, if you're brave enough, you should save these words for the chief. Otherwise, don't speak nonsense here." "You..." Pierzy's expression darkened, and he was about to say something.

However, Lucio waved his hands dismissively and turned to leave.

Pearson and Suanne stared at his back with cold eyes.

"Lucio might seem like he's all smiles, but he's actually a devious man."

"Those naive kids will realize how vicious he is once the test begins."

Then, the two of them turned around and left. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Fade and the others were unaware of what was going on outside.

After a day's rest, everyone woke up to the sound of the bells early in the morning.

After washing up, the group of people gathered in the main hall on the first floor.

That morning was the first time that Fade and others met all the other team members.

They glanced around and realized that the massive hall was full of people. Fade estimated that there were more than 500 people.

500 people would not be considered many in the outside world.

However, those present here were all young and talented martial artists under thirty-six years old and they all possessed strengths at around the Heaven Level or even higher. From the looks of it, almost all of the younger experts from earth's secular world had gathered in the hall.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but size up each other.

Of course, Fade also looked around. Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze fixed on the back of his head.

He was keenly aware of someone staring at him. He immediately turned his head to look back.

He saw a foreign man with brown hair and deep- set eyes looking at him fiercely with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"Who is he? Why is he so hostile towards me?" He thought to himself.

Fade frowned in puzzlement.

Just then, he noticed the two familiar faces behind the man.

Bart was as tall and burly as ever, and he was well- dressed for the occasion. Beside him, Aiden kept a huge smile on his face.

They were the leaders of the Micovia and Earlington teams, respectively, in the International Youth Martial Arts Convention.

These two were known as the strongest martial artists in their teams, but at that moment, as they stood respectfully beside the brown-haired man, they had indirectly hinted at the man's identity. "Could he be a hidden talent from Micovia or Earlington? Or perhaps someone from the Sacred family?"

Just as Fade was busy guessing the man's identity, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hall.

Sixteen middle-aged men and women walked in, and the crowd suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Fade and the others also noticed Lucio standing among the sixteen people.

It was obvious that these sixteen people were the Sixteen Inner Hall's captains.

After the captains briefly introduced themselves, they went to their teams and began giving their speeches.

Lucio walked up to Fade and the others, still smiling like he was the day before. He clapped his hands and said softly, "I have said what had to say yesterday. Thus, I won't talk much today. I'm only here to tell you one thing, and that is to calm down and to do your best,

The team responded in unison. Then, Lucio clapped his hands and led everyone out of the hall, marching forward.

After walking for about half an hour, the team left the bustling street and arrived at an open space.

Just when everyone was confused, they turned a corner and noticed a black shadow. A tall stone building appeared in front of them, emanating an invisible pressure on them. They couldn't help but look up. Lucio clapped his hands and introduced, "This is the Earth Studio. The various tests that I mentioned yesterday will be held here today. Now, let's go in!"

After they entered the Earth Studio, Lucio exchanged a few words with the person in charge. Then, a group of staff members came up to confirm Fade and the other's identities before handing each of them a nameplate the size of a palm.

"All of your test results will be recorded on the nameplate. Don't make any attempt to cheat. Once you're caught, you will be

disqualified directly. Those seriously involved will be killed on the spot. Do you understand?" One of the staff members instructed.

Everyone grew nervous upon hearing this, and they all shouted in unison, "Understood!"

Lucio smiled at their response and said, "Don't be nervous. Just perform normally."

"Let's begin!" He announced, then nodded at the Earth Studio's staff.

Later, Fade and the others were taken to a black stone room with several pieces of special equipment inside.

"This is used to measure physical strength. You are not allowed to use positive energy. Punch here," the staff member said, pointing to a piece of equipment that looked like a boxing machine.

Kaegan was the first to stand up. He took a deep breath and punched the equipment heavily.

Suddenly, the light on the machine flashed, and a string of numbers appeared on the screen.

The staff member next to him announced calmly, "Strength, 20,342 kilograms. Next!"

After Kaegan retreated, Halston stepped forward to measure his strength, and he received a score of 23,250 kg.
