Hum!!
The moment the transformation was complete, Garen felt his whole body go numb. His blood flow suddenly sped up, and the warm feeling suddenly turned into an icy cool feeling. His heart thumped faster and faster, like the beating of a drum.
In the attribute column at the bottom of his vision, his strength attribute began to change again. It went from 0.45 to 0.46, then 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5!! The number stopped at 0.5. At that moment, Garon felt pain in all his muscles. A powerful force gushed out from every part of his body.
His arms, legs, and chest were all slightly bulging with muscles.
Phew …
Garon couldn't help but exhale. The breath was hot.
At that moment, the old man's voice sounded again. "Our White Cloud Dojo's secret method is actually used after training with basic fighting skills. Using a special technique with the secret method can achieve the strongest explosive effect. In the future, you will experience the benefits of using it together. The explosive power varies at different stages, and the average person's explosive power is around 200 pounds (160 kilograms). Through training with the secret method and explosive technique, your strength can reach this upper limit, and it may even be stronger. "
The old man swept his gaze across the room and stood up.
"There are no shortcuts in martial arts! Only hard work! Sweat! Hard work! As long as you work hard enough! Talent can be made up for! "
"Yes, sir!" Everyone couldn't help but shout loudly.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. He took out another piece of paper from his pocket and pasted it on the wall. Then, he walked towards the door and closed it with a creak.
Garon's body was swollen. His blood flowed rapidly in his veins, but he didn't feel cold at all. He exhaled again and slowly relaxed his posture. He stood still and rested for a while. Everyone around him was immersed in excitement and novelty. No one noticed his strange behavior.
The wooden hall was noisy. The familiar students asked each other about their feelings after training the secret method.
"Hey! Garon, how do you feel? "Someone patted his shoulder. Garon quickly turned around and saw Erwin standing behind him.
"My whole body feels warm. It's like running for a while!" Garon quickly replied. "What about you, Senior Brother Erwin?"
"Just call me Erwin." Erwin's expression had a hint of excitement. "I feel about the same as you. I heard that after training with the secret method, the explosive force techniques we learned before can be more effective. The stronger the body, the more explosive the force! My original strength was around 120 pounds. With this secret method, I can definitely reach 200 pounds! This is the limit of a normal man! " "It's just that it's harder to improve. from 1160 pounds to reach 200 pounds. Every little bit of improvement requires a lot of effort and effort.
"Senior Brother, you're still alright. Your foundation was already so high from the start, unlike us." Garen shrugged helplessly. "As long as I can reach your level, Senior Brother, I'm already very satisfied."
"That's easy." Erwin smiled and patted Garon's shoulder. "You have a poor foundation. When you start training, you'll improve a lot. Only later will it slow down. The further you go, the harder it gets. The human body has its limits. 250 pounds is the highest strength record we've ever set in the White Cloud Dojo. Of course, that's without using explosive force techniques. Also, it's just a record of the explosive force of the fist. There are other data such as leg force and impact force. "
"250 pounds?" Garon secretly memorized this number. "Where can I test my strength?"
"The main hall specially made sandbags of different sizes to test your strength. Depending on the distance and weight of the sandbags, we can roughly calculate your strength," Erwin explained.
"Then let's try it together?" Garon was eager to give it a try.
"Yes, Senior Brother Erwin. Take us with you."
While the two were talking, two students had already surrounded them and introduced themselves. One of them was a boy named Kairu, and the other was a girl named Rodelisa. They had been selected in the same batch as them.
"Alright, let's test our current strength together!" Erwin was also interested. He led the three of them out of the wooden hall and through the red wooden corridors. Soon, they arrived at a square field made of white stone. After passing through the field, they entered a large black courtyard built at the edge.
In the middle of the courtyard, five black sandbags of different sizes were placed on a black metal rack. On the right side of the wooden rack hung many yellowed old leather gloves. Some students had already gathered around the sandbags to test their strength.
Garon looked at all the sandbags. From right to left, they were labeled 120, 140, 120, 160, and 200. Each of the five sandbags corresponded to a different weight. Behind the sandbags were white lines drawn on the ground. That was the passing line. One had to hit the sandbags upside down and cross the passing line to reach the corresponding number.
At this time, a group of people had already tried one after another. None of them could hit the passing line. Not even the lightest 120 pounds of sandbags.
Soon, a slender and flat-chested girl walked out from the crowd. Her short silver hair fluttered in the wind from time to time. It was the girl who competed with Garon for the 15th place, Doris. Doris stood in front of the 120 pounds of sandbags. She took a deep breath and took a step back with her right fist pulled back. Her expression was solemn and her posture was meticulous, like a taut spring.
Following her movements, the surrounding voices quieted down. Everyone looked at her carefully to see what level she could reach.
"Her stance is very standard. She must have trained before," Erwin whispered to Garon. "I heard that Doris's family runs a dojo. However, after her father passed away and her mother fell seriously ill, the family couldn't take over. It was difficult to maintain the dojo, so she signed up to join the White Cloud Dojo. She planned to make some achievements in the White Cloud Dojo and return to revitalize her family's dojo after she gained some fame."
"She looks like she's only sixteen or seventeen, right? It's not easy to shoulder the responsibility of a family at such a young age. "Garon nodded slowly.
Ha!!!
Suddenly, Doris's body rushed forward. Her right fist fiercely punched a straight line. Wearing the yellow leather gloves, she viciously smashed the black sandbag.
Bang! Ugh!
Doris was hit by the sandbag that swung back and fell to the ground. Her eyes were red as tears welled up in her eyes.
The surrounding students roared with laughter.
"Look at her stance, I didn't expect her to only hit one-third of the distance …" "Shouldn't you lower your expectations for girls?"
The sandbag swayed with a whoosh, constantly swaying on the shelf.
Another boy went up to try. He looked very muscular and was a head taller than Garon and Erwin.
With a muffled bang, the boy hit more than half the distance. He was only a little bit away from breaking the boundary. "I'm so close to passing with 120 pounds." He shook his head and left the stage.
"I'll go!"
The boy beside Garon, Kairu, went up and hit half of the distance. The girl, Rodelisa, went up and hit one-third of the distance.
"You're not going to try?"
"I'll take a look first." Garon nodded. He didn't know what level his strength was at. After increasing so much, he was secretly looking forward to it.
"Then I'll go first." Erwin loosened his fist, rolled up the sleeves of his white robe, and walked up.
Bang!
120 pounds passed the line easily. Erwin's face was relaxed as he warmed up his fist without a care.
The surrounding students quieted down immediately. Their attention was drawn to him. This was the first new student to pass so easily.
Doris, who had failed, also stood in a corner and looked at Erwin. Her eyes flashed with envy.
"Senior Brother, do your best!" "Try to get 140 pounds!" Garon and the other two yelled softly.
Erwin smiled and walked up to the 140 pound sandbag. He took a standard punching posture and took a deep breath.
Bang!
The black sandbag swung violently and flew more than half the distance, easily breaking through.
Then it was 160 pounds. After a muffled bang, the sandbag was just a little bit away from passing the line.
Erwin smiled and shook his head. "I can't do it anymore. This is my limit. I've tried many times. Today, I had a breakthrough because of the secret training method. Before, even 140 pounds was difficult."
"I'll try too." Garon also walked up and stood at the 120 pound position. He put on his boxing gloves and didn't use any force techniques. He just got into the right posture and took a deep breath.
"I can't increase it too abruptly. I'll just use three-quarters of my strength." He slowly relaxed the muscles in his fist and arm. He estimated that he could only reach three-quarters of his strength.
He tightened his right fist.
Bang!
The black sandbag flew out. It was just a little bit away from passing the line.
Even though his fist was wrapped in his boxing gloves, he still felt a little numb.
"Not bad!" Erwin cheered loudly. In the eyes of a long-term trainer like him, he could naturally see that Garon hadn't used his full strength. If he had, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to break through 120 pounds. At first, he thought that this junior brother Garon wouldn't be able to break through 120 pounds. He didn't expect him to make it in such a short time. "As expected, teenagers in their puberty period are no ordinary people …" He shook his head speechlessly.
Among the other students, a few who had almost passed looked at Garon's physique. They were a little unconvinced and went up to try again. Each of them rubbed their fists and made up their minds to break through 120 pounds today.
Most of the remaining students were far from it. Some of them started to surround those who had better results and asked them about their force techniques. Others slowly left.
Doris bit her lower lip and stared at the arena where Garon was walking down from the sandbag. "He wasn't as strong as me a while ago … and he's grown so much in less than a month! How's that possible!? " She recalled how she had trained hard day and night in order to inherit the dojo. However, due to her naturally weak body, she had only barely reached the standard of a normal girl. Along the way, she had suffered so much and shed so many tears. For a moment, a sense of bitterness and unfairness welled up in her heart.
Garon casually stretched his arms and neck. He estimated his own standard in his heart. "If I punch with all my strength, I should be able to break through 120 pounds easily. However, it'll be difficult to break through 140 pounds. My actual strength is still much weaker than Senior Brother Irwin's. "
Irwin's standard was considered outstanding among the new disciples in the entire White Cloud Dojo. However, he had reached the limit of his physique. Every bit of improvement would require a lot of effort and hard work.
The average official disciple's strength was around 160 pounds. Those who could reach 180 pounds were disciples who had received secret techniques for a long time. The highest 200 pounds could only be easily broken by the Dojo Master. That was the limit of an adult's physique. At the very least, it was the limit of an adult's physique in the Federation.
Irwin was only 18 years old, but he was already close to the limit of an adult's physique. It was obvious that he had trained for a long time. Garon, on the other hand, was able to reach 120 pounds at the age of 16. It was obvious that he was already above average among his peers.
Moreover, he hadn't used the secret technique that had reached the second stage. If he used it together with his explosive technique, his strength would increase greatly. He might even be able to reach 140 pounds.
