How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?-Chapter 60 - 58: Surpassing
BOOM—!!
A muffled, yet far more terrifying, explosion of sound—much louder than during Li Jun’s test—ripped through the gymnasium as if a bomb had been detonated!
Following that, a faintly visible ring-shaped shockwave violently expanded outward from the point of contact on the punching target!
The air around the target’s surface distorted violently, and the resulting blast wave even kicked up the dust on the ground, forming a small whirlwind! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The sound from the powerful, heavy blow instantly startled all the students below the stage, who had been busy chattering among themselves.
They thought something had exploded somewhere.
Or that a large truck had blown a tire.
That was, until they saw the terrifying state of the punching machine in front of Lin Ye on the stage.
And felt the strong winds from the aftershock that washed over them—
Most of the chatter came to an abrupt halt.
Immediately after, everyone heard the ear-piercing creak of the punching machine, which weighed several hundred kilograms and was cast from a special alloy!
The entire machine was swaying back and forth so violently it looked like it was dancing disco!
It was moving so much that it looked like it would snap in half at any moment!
"Ho... Holy...!"
A student swore subconsciously, his voice trembling.
"Th... That machine... It’s like it got hit head-on by a huge truck!"
"Is that the kind of fucking power a human can even produce?!"
"Gave me a heart attack!"
The terrifying commotion in this area instantly drew the attention of everyone else in the gymnasium.
Even the supervising teachers from other classes, who had previously been paying little attention, turned to look, their gazes filled with shock and uncertainty.
When they saw the punching machine that looked like it was about to fall apart, everyone’s heart sank.
The homeroom teacher of Class Five, a female teacher who, despite being middle-aged, still possessed a graceful charm, looked over in this direction.
The homeroom teacher of Class Six gasped, turning to Chen Meng beside him with a face full of disbelief.
"Chen, is that the dark horse from your class... the one named Lin Ye?"
"Such terrifying explosive power! That impact force... It has to be at least 1,500 kilograms, right?"
Listening to the shocked, hushed questions from his colleagues, Chen Meng kept his arms crossed, his expression blank.
But only Chen Meng himself knew that it was harder to keep the smile off his face than to hold down the recoil of an AK-47!
An unprecedented feeling of pure, cathartic satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart.
He felt that even if he could go back to his own high school days and achieve Lin Ye’s current result in front of countless eyes,
it wouldn’t feel as good as this moment right now.
’Is this the joy of raising a prodigy?’
The ultimate sense of accomplishment from personally forging a piece of common iron into a Divine Weapon made every pore in his body open up with pleasure!
Under the watchful eyes of the entire crowd, the wildly fluctuating numbers on the punching machine finally, slowly, settled.
The teacher in charge of recording stared at the number, rubbed his eyes, and looked again to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
He picked up the microphone and, in a trembling voice that was almost a whisper, announced the result—one that was destined to be recorded in the annals of Dongjiang First Middle School’s history.
"Third Year, Class Seven, Lin Ye... Punching strength test result..."
"2017.7 kilograms!"
The number, broadcast through the loudspeakers, echoed clearly into every corner of the gymnasium.
Then, an uproar like a landslide and a tsunami erupted!
"Two... Two tons?!!!"
"Is there something wrong with my ears?! The teacher said two thousand kilograms, right?!"
"Holy hell—! What kind of monster is he!!"
"No way! He doesn’t even look that muscular! How does it feel like he could kill me seven or eight times with one punch?!"
"That’s insane! Is he even a high school student?!"
Waves of discussion mixed with fear, shock, and disbelief erupted from every corner of the venue!
And then, a scene appeared that made countless people—especially the students of Class Seven—so excited their blood boiled.
On the massive electronic screen hanging high above the gymnasium, the punching strength leaderboard, which had long been dominated by a few names from Class One, suddenly flickered!
The data began to refresh!
The name and score of Jiang Feng, who had been sitting high and mighty in first place, were suddenly knocked down a spot!
A brand-new name, searing with the heat of absolute power, took its place!
[NO. 1, Third Year Class Seven, Lin Ye, Punching Strength: 2017.7 kg!]
BOOM!!!
The Class Seven camp erupted completely!
"HOLY SHIT!! LIN YE IS A FUCKING GOD!!!"
"YE!! I’M ON MY KNEES FOR YOU, YE, AHHHHH!!"
"Number one! Someone from our class is number one in the year!!"
The one shouting the loudest, his voice on the verge of giving out, was Li Jun.
His face was flushed red with excitement as he grabbed the shoulders of a classmate next to him and shook them wildly, as if he were the one who had reached the top!
[Ding! A large amount of Negative Emotion Value has been collected...]
In Lin Ye’s mind, the system notifications flooded in like a waterfall.
There was nothing like crushing the number one spot under his heel in front of the entire school to display his "Demon King" prestige!
The number before them was the best refutation of all the rumors!
Lin Ye now had a rough estimate of his current full-power strike.
Two tons with one punch.
’And that wasn’t even my limit.’
’Because I know that if I hadn’t used a [Normal Attack] just now...’
’...but had used [Charged Slam] instead,’
’then that number would be multiplied by another 1.5.’
’Three tons in a single punch!’
’Without even realizing it, I seem to have strayed further and further down the path of being inhuman.’
The punching strength test ended, and the second event was the Qi and Blood index and life index test.
This time, Lin Ye didn’t have to wait long.
The list was completely randomized, and he was drawn near the beginning this time.
It was worth noting that Li Jun’s Qi and Blood index and life index had also improved greatly. His stats were no longer teetering on the edge of the danger line and now safely met the admission standards for a martial arts university.
When he got off the stage, he even received high praise from Chen Meng: "You’ve gone from being a good-for-nothing to looking a bit more like a person."
The compliment made him so happy he couldn’t tell which way was up.
"Next, Lin Ye!"
As the teacher called his name, everyone’s gaze focused on him once more.
If before they had been curious and scrutinizing, now, all that remained was anticipation.
They all wanted to know what kind of terrifying numbers the monster who could punch with two tons of force would have for his internal foundation!
Lin Ye walked onto the stage with a calm expression and lay down in the futuristic-looking Qi and Blood testing pod.
The pod door slowly closed.
A soft blue light, like flowing water, began to scan his entire body from head to toe.
The results would take a moment to appear.
This time, Chen Meng, standing on the sidelines, no longer showed the slightest trace of nervousness on his face.
He couldn’t even be bothered to suppress his forced smile anymore, letting his lips curl into a wide, open grin.
His eyes held only the calm and composure of someone waiting for an expected result.
’If nothing unexpected happens...’
’this kid should have already surpassed everyone else in these foundational martial arts stats as well!’
