Chapter 77: Thousand-Ton Fist Power
Chapter 77: Thousand-Ton Fist Power (Please Continue Following)
Boom! Boom!
The punchbag trembled violently as numbers on the electronic screen flickered wildly.
"1157.3kg!"
"1156.9kg!"
Lin Qi fired off two more punches, finally settling on an exact measurement.
"My current punching power has surpassed the limit for a first-stage Martial Artist."
He exhaled sharply, clenching his fists as exhilaration surged through his chest.
Though he now possessed a Vital Energy Stat, physical strength testing hadn't been neglected.
Ordinary first-stage Flesh Cultivators typically maxed out around 1000kg.
Li Zhou, however, was an anomaly—naturally gifted with immense strength. At 9.8 Vital Energy, he'd already struck 1036kg.
Now Lin Qi, also at 9.8 Vital Energy, had shattered 1157kg—over 100kg more than Li Zhou.
The difference between their Vital Energy Stats was a full 1.0.
"This is the gap in our body constitutions", Lin Qi mused.
He recalibrated the speed tester.
Two minutes later, he exploded into motion—a blur carving through the air with shrieking force.
Beeep!
Panting lightly, he studied the screen: "19.5m/s!"
The average speed for a 9.99 Vital Energy first-stager was 18m/s. He'd exceeded that by 1.5. Li Zhou, while naturally strong and bulky, managed only a mediocre 16m/s.
Lin Qi now had definitive proof—his body constitution surpassed Li Zhou's at the same Vital Energy level.
Combining raw power with speed, and factoring in his Dragon Vigor Tiger Might innate talent, his stamina and endurance were formidable too.
A true all-around warrior.
Returning to his private training hall, Lin Qi applied Crimson Blood Healing Balm, swallowed stamina elixirs, and resumed Stance Training.
His Vital Energy Stat and martial arts proficiency already exceeded expectations.
But he couldn't slacken his efforts yet—he'd squeeze every ounce of progress possible before the final exams.
The higher his stats, the greater his chances of upgrading to an A-rank contract.

Days of relentless training passed in a flash.
January 6th arrived—the eve of the Final Exams.
---
In Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion, Room A128, Guo Heng swung his battle saber furiously, sweat drenching his martial arts uniform.
"My Vital Energy and blade techniques still aren't strong enough", he growled. "I must climb the rankings—can't disgrace my sister!"
---
At Second High's training hall, Jiang Tao's sweat glistened across his bronze torso as his saber carved hurricane-force arcs.
His expression suddenly brightened.
"I've broken through!"
"I've grasped the Third Killing Move. With a little more time, I'll perfect it."
A grin spread across his face.
"Brother Qi, this time you'll lose to me."
---
Nearby, Yu Jing's body steamed like a boiled shrimp, Vital Energy surging in thick waves.
His handsome face contorted in frustration.
"Why?!"
"After all this time, why haven't I broken 9.99 Vital Energy? What part of me hasn't been refined?!"
He screamed, lunging with his long spear—his form twisting like a venomous snake striking in desperation.

Final Exam Morning
Chill winds whipped through the campus as students buzzed with anticipation.
In the principal's office, Jiang Zhiguang cradled a potted plant, watering it gently.
Fresh green shoots pushed through the soil—particularly one vigorous stem climbing skyward.
"Actually grew it", Zhang Cheng remarked, eyeing the sprouts.
Jiang Zhiguang beamed.
"Time flies. Curious how the rankings will shift this time."
Zhang Cheng stood, grinning.
"My gut says big surprises await."
Jiang nodded.
"Many families are watching these results. They'll decide countless fates."

After hours of academic exams, martial artists gathered at 7:30 PM.
"Half a month of nonstop training—it'll pay off!"
"I'm breaking into the top 30,000. I'll attend one of the Three Great Academies!"
Li Zhou stood aloof, arms crossed.
The undisputed top student, his dominance unchallenged.
"This time, I'll crack the city's top five, top ten in the province."
He clenched his fists.
"Nationally... could I make top hundred?"
Bam!
Zhang Cheng's palm slammed the Vital Energy Analyzer, silencing the room.
"The Final Exam begins. Let's see what you've earned this semester!"
Tension gripped the air.
Lin Qi remained calm—no need for nerves.
"First up—Xu Chenhui!"
One by one, students stepped forward.
"Vital Energy: 7.62!"
"7.63!"
"8.76!"
Gasps erupted as scores climbed steadily. Average stats neared 8.0.
"Chen Zichuan—8.76!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Is Chen following Lin Qi's path into the Top Ten?"
Jiang Tao grinned.
"Zichuan's a grinding machine. Not surprised."
Lin Qi smiled. Chen's ranking would skyrocket.
"Next—Lin Qi!"
Zhang Cheng's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"9.7?"
"Bet it's 9.7!"
"Doubt it. 9.6 at best."
Yu Jing scoffed.
Lin Qi stepped forward, the room's collective gaze burning into him.
He stretched his arms—nearly six feet tall now—gripped the analyzer's metal bars, and exploded with power.
Boom!
Muscles swelled. Vital Energy roared outward in a crushing wave.
"Such overwhelming pressure!"
Li Zhou and Zhang Cheng stiffened.
Infrared scanners flashed.
The screen displayed: "Lin Qi—Vital Energy: 9.91!"
Silence.
Then pandemonium.
"9.91?! How?!"
"Impossible! When did he jump this high?!"
