Chapter 28: The Young Eagle's Gentle Cry

  Standing in front of the power tester, Sun Yan looked at his own hands and then raised his head to gaze at the huge light screen in front of the hall, his eyes calm, without sorrow or joy.

  I finally stand here, but my mood is vastly different from half a month ago.

  Next to the strength tester, the staff confirmed again, "Candidate No. 144, first strength test, ready to start!"

  Sun Yan slowly took a deep breath, his entire body relaxing as he gazed at the testing device's punching bag. Without any warning or movement, he raised his hand and swung out a fist, which seemed to be floating gently without any power.

  At once, this caused a burst of ridicule from the surrounding examinees. What was this 144th examinee doing here? With such a punch, it's likely that the testing device wouldn't even be able to display a value; a punching force below 50kg is automatically ignored by the strength tester.

  The resting area at the edge of the hall, Qian Lie sneered and shook his head. This piece of trash really didn't disappoint him, it was so tense that it couldn't even exert a bit of strength, it's simply more rubbish than rubbish. However, occasionally stepping on rubbish is also another kind of fun.

  He turned his head to look at the not-too-distant Shui Lian Qing, and a greedy glint flashed in Qian Lie's eyes. After graduation, he must get Shui Lian Qing under his control. Just thinking about this beautiful and aloof girl, her slender body like white jade, panting and begging for mercy beneath him, a flame ignited in Qian Lie's lower abdomen, leaving him parched and tongue-tied.

  Bang!

  A dull sound rang out, as if an iron hammer struck a war drum, the humming noise slowly reverberated in the great hall.

  Many candidates were bewildered, not understanding where the sound came from. When their eyes fell on the numerical values on the test screen, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, eerily quiet, with a pin drop audible.

  “2021KG！”

  That light and fluffy punch, which seemed like it couldn't even kill a mosquito, actually had 2021 kilograms of punching power.

  Machine malfunction!

  This is the first thought that arises in the minds of all examinees. If a single punch can produce 2021 KG of power, wouldn't their strength be able to break through ten thousand, comparable to that of high-level martial artists?

  It must be a malfunction!

  Sun Yan took a step back and didn't hear the staff confirm his score for a long time. He looked over curiously and asked, "Is there a problem?"

  The staff member looked stunned and numb, he glanced at Sun Yan, then looked at the numbers displayed on the power tester screen, raised his hand to signal the supervisor not far away, "I'll check the instrument, it might be a malfunction, the test is suspended for 5 minutes."

  Not far away, Qian Lie's eyes were wide open, staring at the numbers on the test screen. 2021KG? Is this broken machine crazy? It actually jumped out such an absurd number. With Sun Yan's trashy strength, it would be difficult to even reach 200KG, let alone 2021KG.

  In the crowd, only Shui Bing's beautiful eyes shone with a different color, this boy has always been like that, handsome to the point where people can't move their eyes away.

  In the monitoring room, a strange atmosphere spread out. Class teacher Li Gang was stunned and after a while, he came back to his senses and dryly said: "Sorry! Everyone, it's probably a machine malfunction. Our class student is usually only at the level of physical training, let everyone see the joke."

  "Oh, only the physical body?" Guo's face was expressionless, his tone couldn't be heard with joy or anger, he sat down again, "Then let's take another look. Xiao Ye, these power testers were provided by your military department, and they malfunctioned after just a few uses, you must investigate thoroughly when you get back."

  Zhong Xiao Ye Zefeng nodded and sat down as well: "Guo Tuan, please rest assured that if the quality is not up to par, I will definitely report it to the relevant departments."

  The conversation between the two seemed to be discussing the quality of the power tester, but those with discerning ears could hear that there was more to it than met the eye.

  Among the people present, except for the three invigilators led by Knife Teacher, the strongest was Rodney, the head instructor of the academy. As a 9th-level great warrior, his vision was not comparable to that of other instructors in Nan Eagle Academy.

  Just now, candidate No. 144's punch was clearly seen by Rodney, and because he saw it clearly, his scalp has been numb all the time.

  That punch, where is the light and fluttering fist? Where is a student who has only reached the "tempering body" stage able to come up with such a move? That punch clearly utilized internal yuan circulation, condensed yuan explosion, simulating the "Burst Fist" technique, achieving the effect of an initial-stage "Burst Fist". Moreover, relying solely on the explosive force of internal yuan, it was able to deliver a punching power of over 2000KG. This examinee's internal yuan cultivation must have reached the realm of a second-level martial artist.

  A warrior who can achieve the power of martial arts just by bursting his inner yuan, what does this represent? This represents that this warrior's control over his inner yuan is extremely skilled.

  A 16-year-old second-class warrior, with internal yuan control so skilled, yet a C-class student, and still subject to the "Teacher's Protective Measures" sanctions...

  A string of thoughts flashed through, Rodney felt his head was about to explode, and he could only subconsciously follow suit and sat down.

  "Everyone, please sit down." Dao Laoshi smiled and gestured for everyone to take a seat. He sighed and said: "Alas, the equipment these days! The quality is getting worse and worse. I remember when I was in the military, even the lowest-level strength testers could withstand my punches. Ye Zefeng, this time when you go back, be sure to bring our opinions with you. If even the military is cutting corners, then if war breaks out again, we'll all be waiting for disaster."

  "Blade Team, your teachings are." Ye Zefeng bowed respectfully, "I will definitely bring your opinions to the Quality Supervision Department."

  Wang Sen sat to the side, looking at Knife Teacher and the other three. He was most familiar with them, and he could clearly feel that something was off. However, he didn't know where the problem lay. Could it be that the 144th examinee really had such abilities? That academy should have known about such a student long ago. The Qian family's bunch of fools wouldn't possibly go looking for trouble on their own initiative.

  In 5 minutes, the result of the staff's inspection came out, and that power tester was completely normal and had no problem at all.

  The staff looked at the value displayed on the strength tester and felt it was strange, but since there was no problem, they had to follow the rules.

  " Candidate No. 144, first strength test result —— 2021 KG."

  In an instant, the hall was in an uproar. All the examinees found it hard to believe that the punch of candidate No. 144 was actually counted as a score. Moreover, the score was exactly 1kg higher than Qian Li's.

  Qian Lie clenched his fists tightly, his eyes almost spewing fire, "Malfunction, it must be a machine malfunction!"

  Feeling Qian Li's glare, Sun Yan turned his head and smiled: "Ai, it might be a machine malfunction? Otherwise, how did my score just happen to be 1KG higher than yours, Qian Li? But even if I'm only 1KG ahead, shouldn't my final score still be able to enter the top 1000 of all-time records?"

  In the strength test, candidates have three chances, and the highest score of the three is taken as the final result. In other words, even if Sun Yan's remaining two scores are worse, the 2021KG score will still be unbeatable.

  Damn it, damn it, damn this trash! Qian Lixing was furious in his heart, he hated that he couldn't rush up and beat Sun Yan violently right now. But they were currently in the examination hall of the graduation exam, if he made a scene like this, he would be disqualified from the exam and his scores would be completely cleared to zero.

  "Just you wait, trash! You'll be exposed in no time!" Qian Lie suppressed his anger with all his might. He absolutely didn't believe such a thing could happen - it was even more humiliating than being trampled by a pig."

  Sun smiled and didn't bother with him anymore. What's the point of paying attention to this kind of guy? His goal, of course, couldn't be the record of 1000th place.

  He took another look at the front, and the light screen hanging in the hall had 1,000 record information that changed from time to time. Obviously, this was a test score of candidates from other examination rooms refreshing the top 1,000 scores of previous years.

  Sun Yan's gaze slowly moved upwards, looking at the top record on the light screen - 3999KG.

  "Teacher, can we start now?" Sun Yan asked with a smile.

  The staff member was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Uh, okay. Candidate No. 144, second strength test, 30 seconds to prepare..."

  He took two steps forward, and Sun Yan stood in front of the power tester again. His shoulders slightly sank, his feet suddenly exerted force, his body slightly rotated, and the vertebrae above his waist suddenly straightened, bursting out with great power. His left fist was retracted, holding his waist button, his right arm bent, and a strong power instantly penetrated his arm, causing all the muscles in his arm to bulge. His right fist became even thicker, as if it had thickened by two circles.

  At the same time, a strange humming sound shook out, following his fist's trajectory, and the air seemed to stir up strands of invisible ripples.

  Bang!

  The ground seemed to shake slightly, and the people in the hall felt a slight tremor under their feet. The examinees who were closer to the center of the venue even felt a strong gust of wind blowing across their faces.

  On the screen of the dynamometer, the numbers kept jumping and changing, finally stopping at 3999KG.

  Not far away, Qian Lie's face froze in a cold smile for an instant, his eyes bulging out, the pupils almost popping out. 3999KG! This trash, how is it possible?

  She stared at the scores on the screen, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud. Screaming out loud in this situation would be too embarrassing, others would think she's crazy.

  However, Su Qing had such self-control, but many other girls in the hall did not have such restraint. Those dazzling numbers had already made many female candidates involuntarily let out high-pitched screams.

  "Ah——!"

  "He's so handsome!"

  "Heavens, I'm going to die!"

  The entire venue 362 was in an uproar, that seemingly weak and feeble candidate No. 144 had actually... he had actually tied the record for first place in the strength test of all previous years.

  What kind of god is this examinee? With such strength, how come I've never heard of him in Nan Ying Academy?

  Inside the monitoring room, with a loud crash, the instrument in Class Director Li Gang's hand fell to the ground. Cold sweat rained down, permeating his forehead and cheeks, dripping drop by drop onto the floor.

  At the back, Qian Juren and Qian Wei looked extremely ugly, with dark clouds all over their faces, almost as black as if they were about to drip water. What's going on? Isn't Sun Yan that rotten mud from Class C-69?

  Teacher Knife adjusted the instrument on his wrist and pulled out Sun Yan's information, projecting it onto the wall in clear view, word by word.

  His smile gradually turned cold, "Martial arts cultivation - Tempering the Body? Who can tell me, is it that examinee in the main hall who is impersonating someone? Or was he still in the Tempering the Body stage when his information was recorded, and within half a month, he jumped three levels to become a second-level martial artist, huh?"

  As they spoke, a sharp aura burst out from Knife Teacher's body, causing the temperature in the entire surveillance room to drop suddenly. Everyone felt a stinging sensation on their skin, as if a knife was about to cut them down, and even the air seemed to be sliced apart.
