Chapter 170: Astonishing Power

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Astonishing Power

"I’ll give it a try!"

A man stepped out from the crowd. He was tall and well-built with dark skin, and he strode forward confidently.

He walked quickly to the Punch Force Tester. After briefly gathering his strength, his muscles swelled, and his massive fist slammed into the Punching Target.

"BAM!"

With a loud thud, the Punching Target shook violently. A series of numbers appeared on the electronic screen: "1725.6 kg."

"Over 1700 kg of Fist Power is not bad, but it’s not enough to get into the top one hundred freshmen," Duan Wei commented with a nod.

Everyone looked at the large screen on the left. As expected, the rankings hadn’t changed at all.

"You need at least 1800 kilograms of Fist Power to break into the top one hundred," someone said.

"Let me try!"

Another person stepped forward. It was another burly man.

His muscles bulged, hard as marble. With a surge of Qi Blood, he threw a punch, viciously smashing it into the Punching Target.

"1901 kg!"

’Such strong Fist Power. It’s almost 2000 kilograms. Which province is this genius from?’ someone wondered in astonishment.

The crowd looked over, and the large screen on the left began to update.

The 93rd spot was replaced by a new name: "Jiang Mao."

’Damn it. I was ranked 12th in Guangdong Province, but my Fist Power only gets me 93rd place?’

The burly Jiang Mao shook his head in dissatisfaction and turned to leave.

Seeing this, others also came forward one by one to show what they could do.

"I was 19th in Shu Province!"

"I was 22nd in Jiangnan Province!"

"..."

"BAM! BAM! BAM!"

Loud thuds echoed as one Fist Power score after another appeared, and the numbers on the large screen kept updating.

"Brother Qi, let’s go too!" Jiangtao and the others were eager to try, finally unable to hold back from showing their strength.

"I’ll give it a shot!"

Li Zhou was the first to stride forward with purpose. He felt his Fist Power should at least get him into the top twenty.

"BOOM!"

The Qi Blood in his body erupted. Like a brown bear swiping its paw, he smashed his fist heavily into the Punching Target.

"1999.1 kg!"

The leaderboard updated. The 43rd spot was replaced by Li Zhou, with "Sixth Institute" clearly marked after his name.

"So strong! He broke into the top fifty!" someone exclaimed.

Seeing this, Li Zhou pumped his fist and broke into a triumphant smile.

"Me too!"

Jiangtao also walked out, cracking his knuckles. The next second, his aura exploded. His Qi Blood surged as his muscles bulged, and he threw his punch like a Vajra.

"BAM!"

"2078 kg."

’Incredible! He exceeded two thousand kilograms of Fist Power!’ the crowd thought, amazed.

On the leaderboard, Jiangtao’s name instantly appeared in the 12th position.

Jiangtao immediately flashed a proud grin.

"My turn!"

Guo Heng, also eager to try, stepped forward. He had ranked fifth in Cang Province on this year’s college entrance exam.

He cultivated the Vajra Tiger Evolution Technique, and his strength was equally astonishing.

His powerful body suddenly erupted with an intense aura. For a moment, it was as if he had transformed into a ferocious tiger, kicking up gusts of wind around him.

"BAM!"

"2178 kg!"

’So strong!’ the crowd marveled internally.

On the freshman leaderboard, Guo Heng’s name instantly shot up to 6th place.

Next, other experts like Wang Qiufeng and Zhou Xiyin also gave it a try. Since strength wasn’t their forte, their results were unremarkable, but they still made it into the top one hundred.

"So many experts, and they’re all from the Sixth Institute?"

The crowd was once again amazed. The Sixth Institute had no shortage of experts.

At the same time, this put pressure on the students from the other institutes.

Guo Heng retracted his fist and walked back to the Sixth Institute’s group with a smirk.

"How can we let the Sixth Institute hog all the spotlight!"

"Today, I’ll show you what real power is."

A booming voice came from not far away.

A tall man with a powerful aura stepped out from the crowd. He had coarse features and a brutish presence.

"It’s Li Lei, ranked 8th in this year’s college entrance exam, and the Dean of the Fourth Institute."

Li Lei strode out with the confidence of a predator. He was over 2.2 meters tall, with an exceptionally muscular upper body.

Resembling a savage bear, he twisted his thick neck and loosened his arm joints.

"BOOM!"

An intense aura instantly erupted from his body. Lin Qi frowned. ’His Qi Blood is very strong,’ he thought. ’His Qi and Blood Value has most likely broken 30. He might even be stronger than me.’

Li Lei swung his fist heavily, smashing it into the Punching Target like a cannonball.

"BAM!"

The Punching Target shook so violently it made everyone’s heart pound. They had a feeling this punch would be incredibly strong.

"2401 kg!" The data appeared on the screen.

On the projected large screen, the third-place spot instantly changed to Li Lei’s name.

At the same time, on the historical rankings to the right, he had also shot up to the 15th position.

"Such high Fist Power! That’s almost the minimum requirement for a Third Realm Martial Artist, isn’t it?" someone gasped.

"Is this the power of our Dean and senior brother?" everyone exclaimed in awe.

"I’m out."

Amidst the crowd’s gasps of amazement, Li Lei smirked and turned to leave smugly.

He glanced around. ’It’s almost impossible for anyone here to have a stronger Fist Power than me.’

"Brother Qi, it’s your turn!" Jiangtao reminded Lin Qi, who was beside him.

The crowd from Cang Province, now all part of the Sixth Institute, looked at Lin Qi, curious to see just how strong his Fist Power was now.

"Hooo..."

Lin Qi exhaled a deep breath, nodded, and slowly walked out from the crowd.

"Lin Qi is up!" someone whispered.

"Lin Qi, the national tenth rank? He’s a whole size smaller than Li Lei. His Fist Power can’t be that good, can it?" someone wondered aloud.

"I agree. He probably specializes in speed," another person analyzed.

Guo Heng watched Lin Qi’s back with great curiosity. ’We both cultivate the Vajra Tiger Cultivation Method, and the gap between our Qi and Blood Values isn’t that large.’

He also wanted to see just how big the difference in their Fist Power was.

Lin Qi arrived before the Punching Target. His gaze instantly sharpened, and the Great Tendons in his body tensed and coiled.

He stomped his foot, putting force into it. It was as if a Vajra Tiger had instantly awakened, letting out a roar. His Qi Blood surged wildly, and his ferocious aura instantly kicked up a massive gust of wind.

The great dragon of his spine awakened like a winding serpent, each vertebra snapping into place. The Great Tendons transmitted a terrifying force to his arm.

Veins bulged on his skin. He clenched his fist, unleashed his power, twisted his waist and hips, and launched his strike like a cannonball.

It cut a perfect arc through the air before smashing heavily into the Punching Target.

"BAM!"

Following the heavy thud, the Punching Target shook even more violently. Even Li Lei, who had been leaving, stopped in his tracks and turned to look.

"BEEP! BEEP!"

The electronic screen flickered and then displayed a string of data: "2599.9 kg."

On the freshman rankings to the left, Lin Qi’s name instantly replaced Li Lei’s, appearing in third place.

At the same time, on the historical rankings to the right, Lin Qi’s name also appeared in the 8th position.

Seeing the data on the electronic screen, many people’s eyes went wide.

"Holy crap, that’s insane! Nearly 2600 kilograms of Fist Power."

"That completely surpasses the Fist Power of a Third Realm Martial Artist, right?"

"Could it be that Lin Qi is about to break through to the Third Realm?" The crowd erupted in an uproar.

"He has two hundred kilograms more Fist Power than Li Lei. That’s a huge gap!"

Guo Heng’s eyes bulged. He had an excellent physical foundation and also cultivated the Vajra Tiger Evolution Technique, yet his Fist Power was more than four hundred kilograms less than Lin Qi’s?!

"CRACK!"

In the distance, Li Lei instantly clenched his fists, veins popping on his arms as he ground his teeth fiercely.

’In the domain I excel at most, I actually lost to Lin Qi—a guy who’s smaller than me and ranked lower than me.’

’How is this possible?’

He couldn’t accept such a result.
