Chapter 273: Chapter 273

Su Yan discovered that the area inside was much larger than he had imagined.

Like the gymnasium used for physical tests, the test area before him was also divided into six regions. They were, respectively, the areas for speed, elasticity, fist strength, reaction, Spirit, and HP.

Among them, the Fist strength test area was surrounded by the most people.

Su Yan guessed that, compared to other testing items, punching might be a relatively easy task. It wasn’t like the 100-meter sprint in the speed test or the dodgeball in the reaction test, which required effort, attention, and even time for the latter. Most importantly, every punch would rapidly display a specific and very noticeable strength value on the Punch Strength Tester, providing people with an intuitive sense of comparison.

This made many capable students enjoy showing off their strength in the Fist strength test area and reaping exclamations of amazement from the onlooking crowd, thus satisfying their vanity.

For most students, they also liked to watch simple and quick battles between strong contenders to obtain pleasure in the swiftest way possible.

Thus, propelled by all these factors, the Fist strength test area became crowded.

"Su Yan, the Fist strength test area over there seems very lively. Let’s go take a look," Qin Yao said. She had initially planned to test her 100-meter sprint, but upon seeing the bustling crowd at the Fist strength test area, she grew curious and wanted to join the excitement.

Su Yan himself had wanted to go to the Fist strength test area as well, so Qin Yao’s suggestion perfectly matched his own desire. Without a second thought, he nodded and said, "Exactly, I want to see that too."

Upon arriving at the Fist strength test area, Su Yan subconsciously surveyed the crowd around him, triggering the Knowing each other ability. He then noticed a girl whose Creature Level was within the Legendary Level Category. She was currently acting as a spectator, silently watching others show off their abilities.

She’s a fish that slipped through the net, Su Yan thought. With her, there are now a total of seven Legendary Level Creatures in the entire gymnasium.

Jing University truly lives up to its name. Although it hasn’t reached the point where Legendary individuals are as common as dogs, just being in a gym during a holiday, one could encounter seven Legendary Level Creatures. It completely outclasses Nanjiang Evolution University.

Su Yan reflected to himself, feeling more convinced than ever that he had chosen the right university. What I need right now is precisely a place like Jing University, filled with competition. Otherwise, being king in a forest without tigers would inevitably wear down my ambition over time, and I’d lack the drive for evolution.

Suddenly, an impact resounded!

A male student whose Creature Level was Rare level stepped forward to test, smashing his fist onto the pad of the Punch Strength Tester.

Soon, a number flashed on the electronic display: 4,399 kg!

As this figure appeared, many students of lower Levels exclaimed in admiration, "Incredible! Just one casual punch and it’s over 4,000+!"

"With that data, the guy must be a Rare Level Creature, right?"

"Yes, he’s the leader of my class. He successfully evolved to the Rare Level category during his freshman year summer break. His talent is truly outstanding."

Hearing the exclamations from those around him, Su Yan couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Just over 4,000 kg and they’re reacting ? If I go up and punch out a score over 10,000 kg, wouldn’t that scare them to death?

While Su Yan was entertaining these thoughts, Qin Yao, beside him, spoke with an air of admiration, "Su Yan, that guy is so amazing. Being able to produce such a result within the Rare Level category after just his freshman year summer break—I really envy him."

"Unlike me. I only managed a 2,800 kg result during the Evolution Talent physical test for the college entrance exams. I don’t even know if I can break the 3,500 kg mark by the summer break after freshman year."

"I feel, with my Evolution Talent, it would be quite difficult, wouldn’t it?" As she spoke, Qin Yao somehow began to express a sense of loss, her tone self-deprecating. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveIꜰire.net

Seeing Qin Yao’s dejected appearance, Su Yan also felt a stir in his heart. In this world where evolution reigns supreme, truly talented individuals are few and far between; most people are mediocre, he thought.

Although Qin Yao was the absolute academic star of her school back in Luo City, upon coming to Jingdou University, she seemed somewhat overshadowed. Just a short while ago, she was the celebrated pride of her school, adored by all. In the blink of an eye, she had become an overlooked nobody at Jing University.

This was indeed a difficult reality to accept.

Thinking of this, Su Yan spoke up to comfort Qin Yao, "Classmate Qin Yao, don’t belittle yourself. You must believe in your talent."

"Think about your sister, Qin Min. Since she was able to evolve to the Legendary Level Category before graduating from Jing University, then you, as her sister, can certainly do it too. You need to have more confidence in yourself."

"Really...? Can I be as excellent as my sister...?" Qin Yao pursed her lips, a fleeting look of loss flashing through her eyes, but ultimately she chose to put on a brave smile. "Thank you, Su Yan. I’ll do my best. Let’s work hard together for the next four years!"

"Yes, let’s work hard," Su Yan said with a gentle smile.

Soon, someone else walked up to the Punch Strength Tester and stopped, preparing to test their fist strength.

At that moment, Su Yan heard many people around him placing bets, guessing how many kg the student currently at the Punch Strength Tester could hit.

"I’ll bet 1 academic credit that her fist strength can exceed 8,888 kg! Who’s in?"

"Heh, I really don’t believe she can hit over 8,888 kg. You’re definitely going to lose!"

"I also think it’s not possible. 8,888 kg—that kind of number would require strength at least approaching the Legendary Level Category."

"But the girl at the Punch Strength Tester doesn’t look like a Legendary Level Creature at all. So, I’m betting with you on this one too!"

Hearing the betting nearby, Su Yan couldn’t help but frown. Why are there gamblers everywhere? he thought. I hope they all go bankrupt soon!

At this moment, Qin Yao, beside him, asked curiously, "Su Yan, do you think that girl can achieve a fist strength of 8,888 kg?"

"Yes," Su Yan answered without hesitation.

Because the girl currently standing in front of the Punch Strength Tester was the Legendary Level Creature he had spotted earlier in the crowd. And the basic fist strength standard for a Legendary Level Creature is as high as 10,000 kg.

So, without a doubt, the girl currently at the Punch Strength Tester could definitely achieve a fist strength of over 8,888 kg.

Upon hearing Su Yan’s decisive answer, the guy who had just questioned whether the girl could hit 8,888 kg frowned.

Quickly, a loud BANG! resounded!

The girl, whose Creature Level was Legendary Level, threw a punch, hammering it onto the Punch Strength Tester’s pad and instantly creating a fist imprint several centimeters deep.

Immediately following that, the electronic display above flashed an astonishing number: 12,345 kg!

The moment the data appeared, the whole place erupted!

"Holy shit! The data broke ten thousand!"

"Who is this girl? How is she so incredible? She must be at least a Legendary Level Creature, right?"

"Incredible! I’m completely outclassed!"

At this very moment, everyone present was shocked. They clearly hadn’t expected a seemingly frail girl to produce such an astonishing number.

And just when everyone was in shock, Su Yan inappropriately remarked, "12,345 kg? That’s just average, I guess. It’s alright."

As soon as Su Yan said this, many people around him looked at him with peculiar expressions. Seeing he was an unfamiliar face and presuming he was just boasting, they immediately retorted:

"Oh, come on! You think 12,345 kg of fist strength is just average? If you’re so good, why don’t you try?"

"Heh, I actually am that good!" Su Yan said, smiling cheerfully. This was the response I’ve been waiting for. It’s time to show my true skills!
