Chapter 171: Astonishing Strength
Chapter 171: Astonishing Strength
"I'll give it a try!"
A massive, muscular man with dark skin stepped forward from the crowd. Striding confidently, he approached the Punch Force Analyzer. After a brief preparation, his muscles swelled like coiled springs. With a thunderous roar, he unleashed a sledgehammer fist that slammed into the Punch Target.
"Bang!!"
The impact shook the machine violently. Digital numbers flickered onto the screen—"1725.6kg."
"Over 1700kg of Fist Strength is decent", Duan Wei nodded. "But it won't crack the top 100 freshmen."
As expected, the leaderboards remained unchanged.
"At least 1800kg is required to enter the top 100", someone remarked.
"Let me show you!"
Another towering figure pushed forward. His muscles rippled like marble statues as Vital Energy surged through his limbs. His fist struck the target with a deafening crack.
"1901kg!"
Gasps rippled through the crowd. "So close to 2000kg! Which province is this genius from?"
The left screen updated—the 93rd position now read "Jiang Mao."
"Dammit! I was Guangdong Province's 12th seed!" Jiang Mao muttered bitterly, stomping away.
One after another, competitors stepped forward.
"Shu Province's 19th!"
"Jiangnan Province's 22nd!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
Numbers flashed across the screen as the rankings shifted.
"Bro, let's show them!" Jiang Tao urged, dragging his companions forward.
Li Zhou went first, his face brimming with confidence. "My Fist Strength should place me in the top twenty!"
Golden light erupted from his body like a bear's paw striking. The Punch Target shuddered under his blow.
"1999.1kg!"
The leaderboard updated—Li Zhou claimed 43rd place, marked "Sixth Institute."
"Amazing! Top fifty!" spectators shouted. Li Zhou grinned, flexing his fists.
Jiang Tao followed. His Adamantine Body technique flared as he struck.
"2078kg!"
The crowd recoiled. "Over 2000kg!"
Jiang Tao's name shot to 12th. He smirked triumphantly.
Guo Heng stepped forward next. "Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method!"
His tiger-like aura whipped the air into a storm.
"2178kg!"
The sixth position lit up with his name.
Wang Qiufeng and Zhou Xi Yin tried their luck, barely scraping into the top 100.
"Sixth Institute has so many powerhouses!" murmured the crowd, tension rising among rival schools.
"Let me show you real strength!"
A thunderous voice boomed. Li Lei, this year's 8th national seed and Four Institute's senior disciple, stomped forward. Towering over 2.2 meters, his bear-like muscles bulged.
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes. Li Lei's Vital Energy likely exceeded 30 stat points—possibly even stronger than himself.
Li Lei's punch shook the Punch Target like a bomb blast.
"2401kg!"
The third position updated. Li Lei's name blazed on the historical leaderboard at 15th.
"Almost Third-Circle Martial Artist level!"
"Senior disciple strength!"
Li Lei turned away, smug. "Your turn, Bro Qi!" Jiang Tao nudged Lin Qi.
Cang Province's Sixth Institute members held their breath.
Lin Qi inhaled deeply, stepping forward.
"National 10th seed Lin Qi? His frame's smaller than Li Lei's", someone doubted.
"He's probably a speed-type", another theorized.
Guo Heng watched intently—their Vital Energy stats were similar, yet their fighting power gap remained unknown.
Lin Qi's muscles tensed like coiled serpents. Golden Vajra Tiger energy surged. His fist carved a perfect arc, striking with apocalyptic force.
"Bang!!"
The Punch Target nearly tore off its hinges. Even Li Lei froze mid-step.
"2599.9kg!"
The screen flashed—Lin Qi claimed third place, eighth in history.
"2600kg?!"
"Surpassed Third-Circle standards?!"
"Did he nearly break the third realm?" The crowd erupted.
Guo Heng's eyes nearly popped out. Four hundred kg difference?!
Li Lei's fists clenched, veins bulging. Defeated by a smaller-built junior? Unacceptable!
