Chapter 11 Furious Arrogance, Shattered Testing Equipment
The atmosphere inside the central testing hall was strangely oppressive.
The glaring "301 kg" on the holographic screen was like a resounding slap in the face to those who had just been laughing at Lin Yuan.
"This...this is too ridiculous!"
Someone in the crowd swallowed hard and muttered something under their breath.
"During yesterday's physical test, Lin Yuan couldn't even lift 50 kilograms. Today, he just casually touched the ground and passed?"
"Yeah! Look at his weak movements just now, he couldn't even kill a chicken, how could he possibly have 300 kilograms of strength?"
Doubts quickly spread among the crowd.
Zhang Kuang's previously distorted expression suddenly brightened upon hearing these doubts.
Correct!
The machine must be broken!
How could that good-for-nothing who struggled at the bottom for three years possibly leapfrog two realms overnight? This must be a malfunction of that high-intensity special testing equipment!
"I refuse to accept this!"
Zhang Kuang shoved through the crowd, strode to the platform, pointed at the two-million-dollar machine, and roared:
"Director! Examiners! This score is definitely inflated!"
"Everyone in the school knows what kind of person Lin Yuan is! If that light slap of his could deliver 300 kilograms of force, I, Zhang Kuang, would have swallowed this alloy testing machine whole today!"
Zhang Kuang's eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast that had been provoked.
He could not tolerate Lin Yuan's stain, and that he had entered the Starry Sky Training Camp at the same time as him.
This would tarnish his status as a "successor of a grandmaster"!
The head of the teaching department frowned.
In truth, he was also filled with doubts. Lin Yuan's movements just now were indeed too fake, completely defying the physical laws of martial arts power generation.
"Zhang Kuang, this machine is specially supplied by the military. It is equipped with the top-of-the-line titanium alloy transmission shaft. How could it possibly malfunction so easily?" the dean of students said in a deep voice.
"You don't believe me? Then I'll prove it to you myself!"
Zhang Kuang refused to listen to any advice.
He suddenly turned around, strode to the testing device, and his entire body suddenly erupted with an unusually frenzied surge of ninefold qi and blood!
The crimson true energy burned fiercely on his right fist like flames.
"Open your eyes wide and watch carefully! If this machine isn't broken, my punch will only reach my maximum power level from before!"
"But if this broken machine can even measure 300 kilograms for trash like Lin Yuan, then my punch will definitely blow it off the charts!"
Zhang Kuang roared furiously, gathering all the true energy in his body onto his fist without reservation.
He wanted to use the most violent power to completely tear apart Lin Yuan's disguise and expose this good-for-nothing to the whole school!
"Arrogant! Stop! Don't be ridiculous!" The military examiner on the platform seemed to have noticed something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted to stop him.
But it was too late.
His arrogant right fist, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slammed fiercely into the special alloy target plate!
boom--! ! !
This time, it wasn't the dull thud of before.
Instead, it was a terrifying, deafening sound of metal tearing apart, like a thunderclap!
All anyone saw was that, under the infusion of that powerful true energy, a strange bulge suddenly appeared on the surface of the originally indestructible giant testing instrument.
Followed by.
In Lin Yuan's previous test of "301 kilograms", the internal hydraulic buffer device and titanium alloy transmission shaft, which had already been completely pulverized by the extreme qi and blood...
There has been a complete strike.
Without the internal buffer and force-dissipating structure, Zhang Kuang's punch, brimming with true energy, became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Boom! ...
Amidst a blinding burst of electrical sparks, the military-grade testing equipment, costing a staggering two million federal dollars, exploded with a deafening roar!
Countless sharp alloy fragments, broken gears, and charred wires shot out wildly in all directions, like fragmentation grenades!
"ah--!"
Zhang Kuang, who was the first to be hit, let out a shrill scream.
He didn't even have time to activate his protective inner energy before he was blown away by the massive shockwave of the explosion!
With a muffled thud, Zhang Kuang slammed heavily onto a marble column more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he slid down like a dead dog.
His prized custom-made vest was blown to shreds, his body was covered in bloody scratches from tiny shards, his face was charred black, and his hair was smoldering.
The entire room fell silent.
All the students were so terrified by the sudden explosion that they collapsed to the ground, screaming and clutching their heads in panic.
Even the head of education and the military examiners on the platform were shocked, their ears ringing and their faces filled with horror.
A military-grade testing device capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a powerful expert at the Town General Realm...
He was actually blown to pieces by a single punch from a high school student at the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm?!
How is that possible!
"Drip... Waaah... Drip... Waaah..."
The fire alarm in the lobby was blaring.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Lin Yuan had somehow retreated to a blind spot.
He stood with his hands in the pockets of his faded school uniform, watching Zhang Kuang scream in the distance, his face utterly calm.
"I already told you this broken machine is about to fall apart, but you insisted on finishing it off."
Lin Yuan silently commented in his heart, "His merits and fame are deeply hidden."
"Arrogant!"
The military examiner was the first to react. He jumped down from the platform and rushed to the explosion ruins with a livid face.
Looking at the irreparable metal wreckage scattered on the ground, the examiner's heart was bleeding!
Two million federal dollars!
This is a valuable asset that the military lent to the school!
"Sir... Commander..."
Zhang Kuang struggled to lift his charred head, spitting blood as he shouted with wild joy:
"Did you see that?! The machine really broke! I smashed it with one punch! That piece of trash Lin Yuan definitely cheated!"
"I'll cheat your grandpa!"
The examiner, who had maintained his composure throughout, finally couldn't help but utter a curse.
He grabbed Zhang Kuang by the collar and lifted him up like a chick, his eyes blazing with anger.
"Do you think military products are made of paper?!"
"If you hadn't forcibly injected that frenzied internal energy into the target plate just now, disrupting the internal pressure balance, how could this machine have possibly exploded!"
The examiner was so angry he was trembling.
He simply couldn't believe that it was Lin Yuan's earlier palm strike that had broken the machine.
Even if all the bones of a useless person at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm are broken, it is impossible for them to leave a white mark on titanium alloy.
The only explanation is that Zhang Kuang deliberately used some kind of destructive internal energy martial arts technique in order to show off!
The head of the teaching department rushed over and nearly fainted when he saw the wreckage all over the ground.
"Arrogant! You're utterly lawless!"
The head of discipline pointed at Zhang Gang's nose and began to curse:
"To prove that a classmate's passing grade was fake, you actually maliciously damaged school property worth two million! Your narrow-minded behavior is utterly unworthy of being a martial artist!"
"I didn't! I really just threw a random punch!" Zhang Kuang cried, tears streaming down his face.
He is truly innocent!
He swore that his punch just now only had a force of 1,000 kilograms at most, how could it possibly have shattered a machine that could bear a weight of 100,000 kilograms!
But given this bizarre scene, no one believed his explanation.
"Alright! Stop explaining!"
The examiner coldly interrupted him.
"Given your egregious behavior, although you retain your eligibility to enter the Starry Sky Training Camp, your personal resource allocation will be reduced by half!"
"This money will be used to compensate for the damage to this machine!"
boom!
These words struck Zhang Kuang like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and frozen in place.
Half of the special training camp resources have been deducted?!
That was his only reliance for breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm and surpassing Su Qinghan!
Zhang Kuang turned his stiff neck and stared intently at Lin Yuan in the corner through the crowd.
Lin Yuan maintained his indifferent expression, as if it were none of his business.
But in Zhang Kuang's eyes, that calm face was clearly filled with extreme mockery!
"Lin Yuan...I..."
Enraged, Zhang Kuang spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from anger.
Su Qinghan, standing at a distance, quietly watched the whole farce unfold.
Her gaze never left Lin Yuan's hands.
"Using someone else to do the dirty work, without shedding a drop of blood."
A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Su Qinghan's beautiful eyes.
She knew better than anyone that Zhang Kuang hadn't blown up the machine. That idiot Zhang Kuang had simply acted as the fuse that ignited the powder keg.
A monster that truly uses those illogical high-frequency oscillations to completely shred the internal structure of a machine.
He was that "good-for-nothing" who was ridiculed by the entire school for three years!
……
At the same time.
Beneath the Seventh Security Zone, in a dark cave where the sun never shines.
The pungent smell of blood filled the air.
In the center of the cave, there is a huge throne made of human bones.
A figure shrouded in black mist was leaning lazily against the bone seat.
He is the Archbishop of the Seventh Division of the Dark Spirit Society, codenamed "Shadow Demon," a terrifying evil cultivator at the half-step Town General realm.
"Archbishop, 'Raven,' who was sent to the ruins to carry out the miniature beast tide plan, has had its life-giving spirit lamp extinguished."
A heretical elder at the Profound Sea Realm knelt on one knee, his voice filled with deep fear.
"Our spies on the outskirts risked their lives to transmit intelligence back."
"That plan not only failed, but it also brought forth a... Grandmaster of External Strength!"
The elder handed over a blurry photograph.
The photo shows a solitary figure standing in a hundred-meter-deep pit, wearing a pale, faceless mask.
"Without a trace of true energy fluctuation, relying purely on physical strength, he crushed dozens of high-level alien beasts with a single foot."
As the Shadow Demon stared at the figure in the photograph, the black mist surged violently.
"A grandmaster of external martial arts?"
"How could such a powerful old monster be lurking in a remote and impoverished place like the Seventh Safe Zone!"
The Shadow Demon's voice carried a chilling undercurrent of extreme apprehension.
What evil cultivators fear most is a martial artist whose qi and blood are extremely masculine and can defeat all evil spirits!
One punch can break all techniques; no matter how strange or mysterious your methods are, they will all be crushed into mincemeat.
"Archbishop, we've found a crucial lead!"
The elder quickly added, "There was a student named Zhang Kuang at Gaowu No. 1 High School who claimed to have gained the appreciation of that Grandmaster in the ruins, and was even described as having a 'promising future'."
"I suspect that the arrogant young man is very likely the successor secretly groomed by that grandmaster!"
"Otherwise, why would such a powerful figure, who is rarely seen, show favor to a high school student?"
The Shadow Demon sat bolt upright, its eyes, hidden in the black mist, shooting out two crimson beams of light.
The successor of a grandmaster?
This is a truly earth-shattering piece of intelligence!
If that Grandmaster truly has a weakness or vulnerability in the Seventh Safe Zone, it would be a devastating blow to the Dark Spirit Society's infiltration plan.
"We absolutely cannot let this kid grow up!"
Shadow Fiend slammed his fist on the skull armrest and gave a stern order.
"Gaowu No.1 Middle School will begin its wilderness survival training at the Starry Sky Special Training Camp tonight."
"Pass on my order! Immediately dispatch the Blood Kill Squad!"
"Four experts at the early stage of the Profound Sea Realm will be dispatched, equipped with magical artifacts capable of concealing their presence, to infiltrate the special training camp!"
The Shadow Fiend's laughter was as piercing and menacing as a night owl's.
"I want you to chop that arrogant brat into mincemeat at all costs!"
"I'd like to see if that Grandmaster of External Strength, who has been hiding in the shadows all this time, can still sit still after losing his only successor!"
Inside the dark cave, a murderous aura was brewing.
A deadly net has been quietly cast to target "Zhang Kuang, the grandmaster's successor."
And at this very moment.
Zhang Kuang, who was lying in the school clinic, crying his heart out because half of his resources had been deducted, had no idea what was going on.
The boast he made to show off is about to bring him a desperate, hellish disaster.
