High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 235 - 203: Surpassing the Limit, One Punch Blasts the Punching Power Tester! (Third Update)
The entire underground third floor was trembling, dust falling from the ceiling.
Soon after, an explosion sounded from the end of the testing lab, as if something had exploded inside.
At this moment, everyone stupidly looked at the testing room. How could such a situation occur during a routine test?
The noise felt like an earthquake had happened.
"What just happened?"
"Could it be an earthquake?"
For a moment, the scene became chaotic. The sudden shake caught everyone off guard, even Hong Lie, Zhong Guoping, and Xiao Yun were startled.
In an instant, the three quickly reacted.
As a soldier, Hong Lie was the first to step forward, his voice low and commanding: "Why the panic? What earthquake? Everyone, be quiet. Stop shouting!"
His deep voice, infused with Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power, rumbled like thunder in everyone’s ears, instantly calming the chaotic scene.
Soon after, Zhong Guoping also spoke in a steady voice.
"There’s nothing to panic about. All examiners, reorganize the test, the tests will continue. It’s just a testing incident; the three of us will handle it."
"Yes."
With words from the two, everyone present found their backbone. Besides, none here were ordinary people; the contestants were all geniuses from cities across Guangshen Province.
Immediately, the examiners began reorganizing for the tests, and the chaos on the scene quickly dissipated, though everyone was filled with deep curiosity at that moment.
They looked toward the end of the testing room with eyes full of doubt, wondering what exactly happened inside?
In everyone’s eyes, plumes of thick smoke were billowing from the testing room.
After settling the commotion, Xiao Yun and the others strode towards the testing room at the end. They too were filled with surprise and questions, wondering if Su Mu was responsible for the commotion just now?
The three arrived in front of the testing room, and Hong Lie pushed open the door with one hand.
...
Boom!
The instant the fist touched the red wall.
A deafening roar reverberated inside the testing room, the entire room shaking violently as if it was about to collapse.
Where the fist landed, a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks suddenly appeared on the red wall, spreading instantly to cover the entire surface.
Su Mu’s right arm was embedded into the red wall.
An invisible shockwave from the punch raged within the testing room, making the cheeks of the three examiners sting with pain.
Amidst the cracking sounds.
The pupils of the three examiners shrank sharply as they witnessed a terrifying scene.
The numbers on the red wall were jumping wildly, flickering almost dizzyingly fast, the three of them were horrified, eyes wide open, even forgetting to breathe.
At that moment, the only thing in their eyes was the rapidly jumping numbers.
The initial number was the limit for a Sixth Level Martial Artist.
32000KG...
68000KG...
126000KG...
189000KG...
199999KG...
In a very short time, the number soared to an astonishing 199999KG, which was also the maximum limit of this punch force tester. After reaching the device’s limit.
The data shown on the machine began to erratically jump, fluctuating wildly.
Hiss.
Sparks flew, followed by an explosion, which became the last straw that broke the red wall.
With a crash, the red wall shattered into pieces, falling to the ground with a series of heavy thuds.
At this moment, the expressions of the three examiners were completely dazed, the constant crashing sound seemed to echo in their heads, like being struck with a heavy blow.
They couldn’t comprehend the situation before them, their mouths agape from the immense shock, just staring blankly at that one figure.
"Did I... did I see that right?"
"This guy, with one punch, destroyed... the punch force tester?"
"It’s not just destroyed, is it?!"
"It’s blasted to pieces..."
Drip.
Drool dripped down, and only then did an examiner slowly regain his senses from the overwhelming shock, wiping his mouth without caring about his image, his head buzzing not knowing if it was from the explosion or the sheer shock.
For a moment, his legs felt weak, and he had to prop himself against the wall to take deep breaths.
The event before them was simply unheard of.
The three of them had served as examiners for several sessions of the selection competition and had undergone countless tests themselves, yet they had never seen, or even dared to imagine, something like this.
To blast the instrument to pieces with a single punch?
They had encountered testing anomalies before, but it was usually due to a malfunction in the equipment, causing testing errors. But this could not be explained by equipment failure.
Because the equipment was completely annihilated by Su Mu’s punch, turning into nothing but debris on the floor.
This was an instrument designed to measure punching power, its sturdy material was beyond imagination.
Yet it was shattered by a single punch.
The three examiners knew very well what this meant.
This meant Su Mu’s punch far exceeded the limits of what the instrument could measure, meaning the force was much more than 200,000 KG!
Otherwise, even if it slightly exceeded the limit, it shouldn’t have turned the entire machine into dust.
"Is this guy really not a Grandmaster?!"
One of the examiners swallowed hard, unable to suppress a low murmur in his heart.
Even if a Grandmaster could explode an instrument with a punch, it would still be shocking because this is purely physical strength, and to shatter it meant that the physical strength itself was at a terrifying level.
But the one responsible for all this wasn’t even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but a martial artist below the Grandmaster level?
It was all too surreal, too brutal!
Feeling a chill on their scalps, the three examiners gazed at the silent figure in front of the machinery, momentarily dazed by the overwhelming shock.
Someone tried to form words, their mouths opening and closing, but their brain seemed to be short-circuited, ultimately unable to utter a single word, left as three wooden figures just looking at Su Mu.
Just then, a beam of light streamed in.
The three turned blankly to see.
The door was pushed open.
Hong Lie, Zhong Guoping, and Xiao Yun entered the room.
"What just happened?" Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, but before any of the examiners inside could answer, his pupils contracted sharply, at that moment needing no further explanation.
He understood everything!
And at this moment, even if the three examiners wanted to answer, words failed them, unable to organize their speeches. Someone opened their mouth but what came out didn’t sound like Huaxia language.
At this moment, the peripheral vision of Hong Lie and the others caught sight of the tall figure standing over the red debris inside the room.
Hearing the door open, Su Mu calmly withdrew his right arm and turned around, his calm face showing a hint of apology.
Apology?!
Could it be...
The three focused their gaze, realizing that the spot where the punch force tester once stood was now empty; the remaining red wall framework displayed a screen that continuously spewed black smoke with occasional sparks. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The digits on it continued to jump erratically.
Suddenly, the three realized something, the red fragments on the floor were nothing else but the remnants of the shattered punch force tester!
Suddenly, it was as if they were struck by a tremendous impact, causing their expressions to dramatically change, their faces involuntarily showing deep shock.
Upon first meeting, Su Mu left an indelible impression on Chairman Xiao. Xiao Yun knew he wouldn’t forget Su Mu for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Chairman Xiao couldn’t help but take a few steps back, inhaling sharply.
"This... did someone just explode the punch force tester...?"
Besides the three examiners inside the testing room, there was only one contestant.
Who could have blasted the instrument, the answer was obvious!
