Chapter 136: Force Overlord
Chapter 136: Force Overlord
Along the way, they passed by a restaurant, a cinema, and a library.
It was evident that the entertainment facilities here were impressive. Bing Li explained, "Constant cultivation can be monotonous, so having some recreational activities to relax the body and mind is a good thing."
After walking for a while, the two arrived outside a large hall, from where they could hear dull, pounding sounds of impact.
Jiang Cheng approached and saw many people inside, shouting loudly while forcefully punching at the machines in front of them.
The sounds were coming from within.
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up instantly.
Was this a place to test punching strength?
"You're right, that's the Force Punch Tester. Fifth Rank and below Force Warriors can test their strength here. On the other side is the Speed Zone, where they use infrared for 100-meter speed measurement."
Bing Li pointed to the other side of the hall.
Several figures were sprinting on the track, and one of them was incredibly fast, completing the 100-meter distance in less than three seconds.
Jiang Cheng was startled.
That guy, was he a Fourth Rank Force Warrior?
"Are you surprised?"
Noticing the astonishment in Jiang Cheng's eyes, Bing Li smiled and said, "In the slums, Fourth Rank Force Warriors are rare, but here, not only are there Fourth Rank, but also Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Rank, and our Dawn Society's leader has even reached the Tenth Rank, just a step away from becoming a Force Sage."
"Force Sage?"
Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Is that a title above Force Warriors?"
"Yes, above Force Warriors are Force Sages. Above Force Sages are Force Supremes, and above them are Force Overlords. At this level, one can roam the universe in their physical body, and even the most basic Force Overlord can easily destroy an asteroid."
Bing Li's eyes shone with admiration.
During the most prosperous times of the Yan Nation, they could form squads of Force Overlords. If any race dared to provoke them, they would annihilate the entire race and their planet.
Unfortunately, a century ago, they suffered a great loss of energy, and the remaining strength was only enough for self-preservation. They, too, were abandoned here.
Bing Li sighed and continued, "However, for us living on the Morning Star, it's not easy to even become a Force Sage, let alone a Force Overlord."
Jiang Cheng could guess that this was probably related to the blockade imposed by the Horned Clan.
"Bing Li, how much stronger is a Force Sage compared to a Force Warrior?"
Bing Li chuckled, knowing that Jiang Cheng would ask this, and replied, "The highest rank of a Force Warrior is Tenth Rank, with a maximum punching strength of 100 tons, a top speed approaching 100 meters per second, and an astonishing physical defense capable of withstanding 50-millimeter artillery fire.
Upon successfully breaking through and reaching the First Rank of a Force Sage, their strength is ten times that of a Tenth Rank Force Warrior, or 1,000 tons. They can withstand a hit from a 120-millimeter artillery shell without a scratch. The increase in speed isn't as significant, but they are still 30% faster than a Tenth Rank Force Warrior, reaching 120 meters per second."
"Such a huge gap?"
Jiang Cheng exclaimed.
Was a Force Sage completely overpowering a Force Warrior?
"Yes, and becoming a Force Supreme is even more terrifying. At that level, the aftershock of a single stomp could level our Outer Borough, and they can even withstand a nuclear blast."
Bing Li sighed.
Jiang Cheng thought to himself that, judging by the gap between a Force Sage and a Force Warrior, the strength of a Force Supreme was likely more than ten times that of a Force Sage.
"Alright, that's enough of a tangent. Let's talk about the testing," Bing Li turned to Jiang Cheng, "If you feel that your strength has improved, you can come here for testing at any time. You can also take the assessment here."
"If you pass the assessment, you'll be able to receive more rewarding tasks and unlock higher-level item purchase permissions. Take the Lotus Meditation Technique you obtained as an example; theoretically, you should at least be a Third-Rank Primordial Energy Warrior to have the permission to buy it."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Brother Bing Li," Jiang Cheng quickly replied.
It seemed that the person Red Tea had come to discuss was the one standing before him.
His heart couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
He had never thought that buying items required not only money but also corresponding permissions.
Initially, he had been concerned that the headquarters wouldn't have items to enhance spiritual energy.
But now, even if they did, he wasn't sure he could afford them.
"Hehe, you're quite quick-witted," Bing Li chuckled, then sighed, "It's indeed rare for someone as young as you to reach the first rank. Moreover, you live in the slums and have achieved this—it's not easy."
He glanced at an idle Force Punch Tester beside him, "How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"
"Mhm."
Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation; he also wanted to see how powerful he had become.
He walked up to the machine and threw a punch at the sensing area.
The screen above instantly displayed a number: 89.
Jiang Cheng adjusted his stance and threw another punch; the number jumped to 158.
On the third attempt, he unleashed his full strength.
"Peng!"
A muffled sound echoed, and the number reached 212.5.
Despite this, the machine didn't budge.
Jiang Cheng threw several more punches in quick succession, and the numbers hovered around 210.
Unbeknownst to him, a crowd had gathered behind him.
"This newcomer has reached the first rank?"
"Impressive! The newcomers from a few months ago were all ordinary people. The most impressive one could only sense Primordial Energy, and he was still far from opening his first acupoint."
"Pfft, so what if he's first rank? He's still got a long way to go."
For a moment, various voices filled the air.
Among them were over a dozen envious gazes.
Apparently, there were many Fourth and Fifth-Rank Primordial Energy Warriors around, and those who hadn't opened their first acupoint were also numerous.
"This is our newest member, Sea of Stars, a First-Rank Primordial Energy Warrior. Everyone, please take good care of him," Bing Li introduced.
The crowd reacted differently; some were indifferent, while others smiled.
"Don't take it too seriously,"
Bing Li said, "Although we're all from the same society, strength is revered here. If you're strong, you'll earn everyone's respect. When doing tasks, they'll yield more spoils to you. It works both ways, of course. But since you're new, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The tasks the society assigns you before you reach the third rank won't be too challenging."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of something and asked, "Brother Bing Li, what's the first task the society will give me?"
"Didn't Red Tea give you some hints before?"
"Mhm, he said it's someone I know."
"That's right, but this task isn't easy. You'll need to think it through carefully. Come, I'll take you to the task area. Usually, you'll receive or hand in tasks there, and it's also where you exchange various items. There are many good things in the society, so don't get overwhelmed."
At this, Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed.
