Four Levels in a Row

Communication between Martial Artists was extremely convenient. More and more Martial Artists came down from upstairs, leaving their rooms and quickly gathering in the Testing Hall on the first floor.

Lin Zhen was in no hurry. He intended to make a name for himself through this as well. He already had a little reputation, and this Private Customization incident was the perfect opportunity to expand it.

When he reached the testing machine, Lin Zhen warmed up for a while and dawdled for several minutes, making Fu Chengya and Shen Tuohua even more convinced that he was putting on an act.

Lin Zhen could not be bothered to argue with them. Seeing that over a hundred people had gathered in the hall, he knew it was about time.

Feeling that his body had reached its peak condition, Lin Zhen prepared to begin.

Zhao Liang stood beside Lin Zhen and announced loudly, "Lin Zhen's previous left fist strength was 397 kilograms. We will now test his left hand."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Zhen threw a ferocious punch with his left hand.

The crowd saw only the afterimage of his fist, and their hearts jolted. Lin Zhen's speed had become incredibly fast.

"Boom!"

Even the testing machine trembled slightly. This was not an effect an ordinary student could produce.

A huge number appeared on the electronic screen.

"789 kg!"

"Damn! What kind of result is that? Is that even normal student data?"

"Is this kid left-handed? Hasn't he reached the late Level Seven Warrior stage?"

"Lin Zhen isn't left-handed. His right hand is his dominant hand. God, how did he become this strong? How much of an increase is that? Someone calculate it for me!"

Zhao Liang stood there with his mouth hanging open, utterly at a loss for words.

Lin Zhen ignored everyone's reactions. He swung his right arm and threw another heavy punch.

"Boom!"

"794 kg!"

When that number appeared, everyone was dumbfounded. This kid had balanced strength in both hands, and each punch was close to 800 kilograms. That was practically the Level Seven Peak.

Someone quickly calculated the increase. Lin Zhen's Gene Optimization had improved his physique by more than 98%, almost 99%.

Throughout Ice City Base City, people had heard of someone improving by 87% after using a customized Gene Potion. As for improvements above 90%, there was no one in all of Ice City. It was said that only a handful of people in the capital had exceeded 90%.

But an improvement of 99% had never been heard of in history.

Fu Chengya and Shen Tuohua were completely stunned. They had no idea how to evaluate the scene before them. This was simply insane.

Many Martial Artists immediately began contacting their teammates, determined to recruit Lin Zhen, this super potential prospect, into their squads.

A 99% improvement! A person like this would probably soon break through the limits of a Level Seven Warrior and become a Level Eight Warrior. Even advancing to the General Level would not be far off. He was an absolute genius!

As long as his Neural Reaction met the standard, he would have risen four levels in a row, crossing directly from the Level Three Peak to the Level Seven Peak in one leap!

And Lin Zhen's crazy performance was still not over.

In the Punch Speed Test, Lin Zhen unleashed 15.9 punches in one second. Every punch carried over 650 kg of force, also at the Level Seven Peak.

As for the final Neural Reaction test, under Lin Zhen's deliberate control, he still achieved 0.021/m. This result practically made everyone's eyes pop out.

As long as Neural Reaction reached 0.01/m, it was at the General Level. Lin Zhen's Neural Reaction was actually at the peak of a Level Eight Warrior. That alone was enough for him to face a Level Eight Warrior without falling behind.

Only Lin Zhen himself knew that after taking the Gene Potion, his Mental Power had improved again. The silver-level transformation of the sphere of energy in his mind was now more than halfway complete, placing him at the Silver Mid Stage. His Neural Reaction had officially entered the General Stage!

He simply did not want to reveal that secret yet. It was always good to have another trump card.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Lin Zhen walked toward Fu Chengya and Shen Tuohua. "You two should fulfill your promise now, shouldn't you? Five million each. Not a cent less!"

Fu Chengya and Shen Tuohua's expressions turned incomparably ugly. They had never dreamed the result would be like this. Since when had Customized Potions become so effective? They could actually improve physical fitness by 99%! If they had known, they would have chosen Customized Potions and taken a gamble no matter what.

"Coincidence! This has to be a coincidence! Lin Zhen, you just got lucky. That's why you had such a huge improvement. No one can improve by 99%!" Fu Chengya's eyes were turning red. If so, he would be Lao San among this batch of students.

"Whether it was a coincidence is none of your concern. You should worry about whether there's enough money in your account. Hand it over. Don't let people look down on you."

Lin Zhen showed the two no courtesy whatsoever. With everyone watching, they could not back out. They reluctantly took out their phones and began transferring money to Lin Zhen's card.

Lin Zhen soon received notifications that two transfers of five million had arrived in his account. He now had another ten million.

"Thanks!"

Lin Zhen smiled and turned to leave.

At that moment, the Martial Artists gathered outside surged forward, ready to recruit Lin Zhen.

But Lin Zhen raised a hand. "Seniors, please don't rush. Brother Zhao has treated me very well and taken great care of me since I joined the Martial Hall. A person cannot repay kindness with ingratitude. I've already decided to join Brother Zhao's squad."

Then he turned to Zhao Liang. "Brother Zhao, does your squad still need someone? If so, could you save a spot for me?"

A Martial Artist squad had a standard roster of five people. Lin Zhen knew that Zhao Liang's squad currently had only four members and was missing one. They had been planning to recruit from among the students. Zhao Liang was a good man, and Lin Zhen had made this decision long ago.

Sure enough, Zhao Liang revealed a gratified smile. Laughing heartily, he patted Lin Zhen's shoulder. "From the day I saw you at Sixth High School, I knew you were a good kid. Our squad will enter the Wilderness Area again in five days. Welcome aboard."

Seeing this, the other Martial Artists smiled knowingly despite their disappointment. Valuing loyalty was also a Martial Artist's virtue. With Lin Zhen acting this way, no one could criticize him. They could only admire him.

With the matter settled, Zhao Liang originally wanted to take Lin Zhen out for drinks. Unlike when Lin Zhen had first entered the Martial Hall, this time he intended to befriend Lin Zhen as an equal. After all, they would be comrades from now on.

Although Lin Zhen was still only at the Warrior Level, he believed that Lin Zhen would become a Level Eight Warrior within a few days, and the General Level would not be far away either. Given Lin Zhen's age, his room for growth would be enormous. Perhaps one day, Lin Zhen would leave him far behind. Becoming friends with him now was absolutely the right choice.

However, Lin Zhen did not go out. Instead, he said to Zhao Liang, "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid I don't have time right now. In three days, we're going to negotiate with Zhang Huai and the others. In five days, I'll be entering the Wilderness Area with you. I want to use this time to practice my Spear Art."

Zhao Liang nodded. "All right, train for a few more days. Three days from now, I'll bring the other members of our squad so everyone can get acquainted. Then we'll go find Zhang Huai with you. This time, we have to make that kid Zhang Huai pay dearly! Let him know that our Demon Hunter Squad isn't to be trifled with!"
