Tian Xiangdong's 7 Strength surprised Zhou Wen slightly.
The Strength value of the Strength measuring device was slightly different from the one in the game, but it wasn't too different. It could basically be treated as the same unit of measurement.
Before Zhou Wen obtained the mysterious phone, he only had 7 Strength.
"It's your turn," Tian Xiangdong said to Zhou Wen as he retreated to the side.
Zhou Wen walked to the Strength measuring device as Tian Xiangdong and company's gazes landed on him. They wanted to know how much strength this former number one genius of Guide High School had left.
Inside the Primordial Energy cabin, Yu Qiubai also wanted to know how much strength Zhou Wen had left after more than a month of being dispirited.
Although Strength wouldn't degrade as quickly as one's reaction speed in actual combat, possessing Strength was one thing, and exerting force was another.
Exerting force required a long period of practice to perfectly release one's strength. Over time, one's technique would become rusty, and even if one still had Strength, it would be difficult to fully release it.
Zhou Wen stood in front of the pressure board and assumed the stance of Inch Punch. Inch Punch wasn't a Primordial Energy Skill, but an ordinary combat technique. It was part of the school's regular teaching material.
However, Inch Punch was easy to learn but difficult to master. It allowed one to produce the greatest amount of Strength in the shortest distance. It required a lot of hard practice before one could achieve anything. Furthermore, Inch Punch's distance was short, so it didn't look beautiful or cool. The typical student was more willing to practice fist techniques that looked domineering and effective.
Of course, more students would choose to practice their weapon techniques. After all, in actual combat, the lethality of weapons was far greater than their fists and legs.
Seeing Zhou Wen's fist nearly stick to the pressure board, Fang Ruoxi and company realized that Zhou Wen was about to use Inch Punch.
Tian Xiangdong curled his lips and said, "Inch Punch's explosive strength is indeed very strong, but it's not easy to master. It's difficult to master it without years of hard practice. I hope Zhou Wen won't overreach himself."
Although Tian Xiangdong's words weren't pleasant, Yu Qiubai agreed with him. Inch Punch wasn't easy to master, and Zhou Wen didn't seem to have practiced it much in the past. In the past month or so, he had been engrossed in gaming. If he were to use Inch Punch for the Strength test, it might even worsen his results.
Dang!
As the four of them were in thought, they saw Zhou Wen's fist tremble extremely quickly. The speed of the punch was just too fast. If it wasn't for the explosive sound coming from the pressure board, they would have thought that they were seeing things. It was as though Zhou Wen's fist hadn't moved at all.
The four's eight eyes quickly looked at the screen. They wanted to know how much strength Zhou Wen's punch could produce.
The distance is too short! Tian Xiangdong, Fang Ruoxi, and Li Zhi simultaneously had the same thought.
The distance he punched just now was too short. Although it's said that One-Inch Punch uses the shortest distance to unleash the strongest force, it's very difficult to exert force if the distance is too short. It's just like how an average person has to squat down to jump higher and retract their arm to strike out with more force. One-Inch Punch works in the opposite direction. Only a true One-Inch Punch expert can unleash his full strength at such a short distance … Yu Qiubai thought more about it.
But when they saw the numbers on the screen, their eyes widened.
The numbers lit up one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they reached 10. Zhou Wen's Inch Punch had actually produced 10 Strength.
“10！ It's actually 10! How is that possible? "Yu Qiubai was pleasantly surprised.
Yu Qiubai had been teaching for many years, so he knew very well how terrifying it was for a high school student to produce 10 Strength without using a Primordial Energy Skill.
Even if the typical student had a Strength Crystal, it would be very difficult for their Strength to reach such a height in high school. This was because the typical Strength Crystal had a limited augmentation to one's Strength. After one's Strength exceeded 7, using the typical Strength Crystal was almost useless.
Unless one had an extremely high quality Strength Crystal, one's Strength could only improve further. Otherwise, one could only practice Primordial Energy Arts to constantly temper their bodies and slowly increase their Strength.
However, that was just too difficult. Typical humans would find it difficult to reach 10 Strength before evolving to the Legendary stage. Most humans would only have seven or eight Strength before advancing to the Legendary stage.
Zhou Wen was clearly only at the Mortal stage, but he could produce 10 Strength purely with his body. This was considered rare in the entire Alliance. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was one in a million.
Could it be that Zhou Wen hasn't given up on himself? The reason he's been sleeping in class is because he's been training too hard? The more Yu Qiubai thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. The way he looked at Zhou Wen was mixed with approval and love, as well as a sense of gratification. That must be the case. The former principal really has a good eye. I misunderstood him. 10 Strength at the Mortal stage. Probably no one in Guide City can match him. Even among the high school students in the Earth Federation, he's one of the best … What a good kid … It's really been hard on him …
The more Yu Qiubai thought about it, the more he found Zhou Wen pleasing to the eye. He felt that not only was Zhou Wen talented, but he also had an excellent character. Ever since he was defeated by An Jing, he had been the target of criticism. Despite the immense pressure, Zhou Wen didn't try to defend himself. He had managed to cultivate to such a stage in such a short period of time. Such a temperament and talent were rare among high school students.
It's fake, right? 10 Strength without using a Primordial Energy Skill? Don't tell me this fellow hides at home every day to crazily hone his Strength? Tian Xiangdong couldn't help but gulp a mouthful of saliva. 10 Strength at the Mortal stage was just too terrifying. There weren't many such figures in a small city like Guide City.
Li Zhi and Fang Ruoxi looked at Zhou Wen with odd expressions. Although Fang Ruoxi always believed that Zhou Wen wasn't a person who would give up on himself and that he was definitely training hard in private, she never expected him to cultivate his Strength to such a level.
From the looks of it, the Strength measuring device's data is somewhat different from in-game. In-game, my Strength is 9, but in reality, it's 10, Zhou Wen thought to himself.
"To be able to produce a Strength of 10, you live up to your reputation as the number one genius of Guide High School. However, if you think you can beat me with this, you're wrong," Tian Xiangdong said to Zhou Wen.
Upon seeing Zhou Wen's results, Tian Xiangdong was already willing to let him join their team.
Although Tian Xiangdong could produce more than 10 Strength with Lightning Fist, it expended Primordial Energy. With his present Primordial Energy, he could only deliver one punch in a short period of time, making it impossible for him to engage in prolonged combat.
As for Zhou Wen, he had a solid 10 Strength, allowing him to engage in prolonged combat. This was of great help to the team, even more so than his Lightning Fist.
There was also Zhou Wen's Inch Punch. To be able to use such an Inch Punch, Zhou Wen clearly hadn't truly fallen into depravity. He had definitely been cultivating in secret, so there was no problem of him being rusty.
