Comprehensive Evaluation

Zhou Qi could feel his brain evolving with every session of Meditation.

Memory, calculation ability, spatial imagination.

Had his reaction speed improved?

Zhou Qi thought so, but he wouldn't know for sure until after the test.

Sitting down in the chair, Zhou Qi let out a long sigh before looking at the screen and clicking start.

Color change, click.

Color change, click.

He didn't know how many times he'd clicked, but with his full concentration, only the green dot remained in his mind. He only realized the test was over when the button changed shape and he instinctively went to click it again.

"194!"

"!!!" Seeing the final result, Zhou Qi was shocked, yet it felt natural, as if his long-held guess had been confirmed.

Meditating here really did evolve the brain!

"My turn!" Smoker rolled up his sleeves. "Let me get under 100!"

He was predicting based on the previous test result, after all, his score always crushed Tashigi's.

Zhou Qi chuckled. The limit for human reaction speed is 100. You think you can get under 100?

I don't believe it!

Though, it's not impossible. What if someone cheats using Observation Haki to foresee the future?

Smoker definitely wouldn't. Koshiro, though... I don't know about him.

Smoker rubbed his hands together, clicked the mouse once to get a feel for it, then opened the software. He'd watched it twice, so he knew how to play.

Of course, only this software.

Color change, click.

Color change, click.

Color change, click.

Color change, click...

One minute later, the test ended, and three large characters appeared on the screen.

161!

"Huh?" Smoker's eyes widened. "How is that possible? Let me try again!"

"That's already very strong!" Zhou Qi chuckled. "You're already 30, and you have that kind of reaction speed? You could be an esports pro!"

Esports requires a reaction speed of under 240 milliseconds. The old Zhou Qi would definitely not have qualified.

But Smoker had no problem, and even in the LPL, which was full of geniuses, his reaction speed was top-tier.

Smoker still thought it was slow and tried two more times.

Unfortunately, the software wouldn't make a mistake. It even removed the highest and lowest scores, eliminating outliers and taking the average.

So, in the three tests, the first was 161, the second was 162, and the third, due to his frustration, he actually got 173!

"Smoking is bad for your health and slows down your reaction speed!" Zhou Qi said with a smile. "Maybe you should try quitting!"

"Quitting?" Smoker shook his head. He'd never quit in this lifetime, and he didn't think his reaction speed was slow.

Maybe this number was already top-tier among humans!

"Would you like to try?" Smoker looked at Koshiro.

This great swordsman is older than me. Although his strength is greater than mine, his reaction speed might not be faster than a young person's!

"Alright!" Koshiro sat down with a smile and skillfully opened the software.

His calm demeanor made Smoker uneasy.

It was the same familiar process. One minute later, the result came out.

135...

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Smoker's eyes widened. "How can he be so much faster than me?"

Koshiro smiled and opened the software again, testing once more.

However, this time, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his entire aura changed drastically!

It was still the same process.

One minute later.

109!

"Holy crap!" Smoker blurted out, his pronunciation clear and precise, even earlier than Zhou Qi's exclamation!

Who knows where he learned it from.

Zhou Qi was also extremely shocked. What was going on!

"Didn't they say the human limit for reaction speed is 100? His reaction speed is actually close to the limit?"

"9 milliseconds is already negligible!"

"Did you use Observation Haki?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

"Huh?" Smoker immediately looked at Koshiro, You know Observation Haki?

No, he's a great swordsman, it's normal for him to know Observation Haki, it would be strange if he didn't!

Koshiro just smiled, but he was also a little surprised: "When Observation Haki is activated, not only is the perception of the surrounding world abnormally sensitive, but one's own reaction speed is also increased to the physical limit. Even so, my reaction speed is 109?"

"Of course!" Zhou Qi said: "Human nerve reactions rely on electrical signals. The eyes receive signals, transmit them to the brain, the brain makes a judgment, issues commands, and the signals are transmitted to the hands. This all takes time!"

"In our world, the scientific community generally believes that the limit of human reaction speed is 100ms, but in reality, no one can reach this limit!" Zhou Qi said: "To surpass this limit, you need to practice the legendary Ultra Instinct!"

"Ultra Instinct?" Koshiro was stunned: "What kind of technique is that?"

"A technique that only exists in fantasy!" Zhou Qi said: "It's said to allow the subconscious distributed throughout the body to make judgments independently when encountering danger, without going through the brain. This way, the reaction speed is increased unprecedentedly because one step is skipped!"

"Isn't that muscle memory?" Koshiro asked: "When swordsmanship is mastered to the extreme, if danger is encountered, the sword technique can be used before the brain can even react!"

"It's muscle memory, but it's for all the muscles in the entire body!" Zhou Qi said: "And swordsmanship is limited to those few moves..."

"That's true..." Koshiro nodded, imagining whether it was possible to have muscle memory all over his body.

Difficult, very difficult!

Just one set of swordsmanship, practiced to the point where the body moves before the mind, requires a huge amount of time, let alone all the muscles in the entire body.

However, if there was enough lifespan and enough time, it might be possible to try.

"Right, today's test subject is Tashigi, let's quickly move on to the next item!" Zhou Qi also recorded the result of this reaction speed test.

"The last item, strength!"

"Strength is divided into two categories: pulling strength and grip strength!" He wanted to add weightlifting, but this sport can easily injure the body without professional training, so he decided against it.

However, tension meters and grip strength meters are common everywhere.

Zhou Qi handed Tashigi an electronic tension meter: "Use all your strength, pull to your limit!"

Tashigi took the tension meter. It was a device with an instrument in the middle and two handles on either side. The user held one handle in each hand and straightened their arms to stretch their wingspan as much as possible.

Tashigi stretched her wingspan with all her might, but the tension meter had a very high limit, and it was impossible to pull it to the limit.

"55 kilograms!" Zhou Qi looked at the result and recorded the number.

There was no such pull in world competitions, so there were no corresponding world records.

Mainly, this posture was not conducive to exerting force, and the resulting number would not be very large, which would not excite the audience.

If the audience wasn't excited, naturally no one would watch, and competitions that no one watched would certainly not be held.

But with this strength, Tashigi should be able to draw a 100-pound bow, which was still incredibly powerful.

"Ah!"

As soon as Zhou Qi finished writing, he turned around and found that one of the handles of the tension meter had fallen to the ground, with a long line trailing behind it.

As for the tension meter, it was in Smoker's hand.

"It's broken!" Smoker's face was full of guilt: "How much? I'll pay for it!"

"It's fine, this thing isn't expensive."

But he was still speechless, my tension meter's limit was 150 kilograms!

But then he thought about it, he's a Captain in the headquarters, his Power Level must be at least two or three thousand, so pulling 150 kilograms wouldn't be easy?

"Don't bother trying this grip strength meter either, it probably won't measure your limit!" Zhou Qi handed the grip strength meter to Tashigi: "Come on!"

Soon, the result came out, 125kg!

"Huh?" Zhou Qi was a little surprised, this time she didn't break the world record!

The world record was 195kg. Not only did she not break the world record, but she was far from it!

Even so, she was still very strong.

Zhou Qi had also tested it himself when he bought the grip strength meter, and it was only 53 kilograms.

Zhou Qi wrote down this record as well, and finally glanced at the total score.

Speed: 9.45/100 meters.

Standing long jump: 3.68 meters.

Reaction speed: 189ms.

Pulling strength: 55kg.

Grip strength: 125kg.

Overall, her speed and explosive power surpassed the best in humanity. Her reaction speed was slightly slower, but still in the second tier, just below the best athletes.

Her pulling and grip strength couldn't compare to those strongmen weighing hundreds of pounds, but if you categorized Tashigi by her weight, she could win with crushing results in her weight class.

In short, she was a superhuman, but not entirely so.

Next, it was time to test the data after consuming a Devil Fruit.

He handed the Devil Fruit to Tashigi. "Here you go!"

"Mmm!" Tashigi looked at the Mera Mera no Mi, which resembled a dragon fruit, and swallowed slightly. She glanced around; the three big men didn't seem to have any intention of providing her with a fruit knife.

In that case, she'd just have to bite into it!

Tashigi buried her face directly into it.

"This tastes awful!"
