Improved Nine-layered Thunder Blade? Hong's Shock

"Do you have any other questions?" Yang Hui looked at Yang Wu.

"No." Yang Wu shook his head slightly.

He already knew the general situation, so there was no need to waste time.

"Of course, even if you meet the standards, you'll still need to pass an assessment before entering the Elite Training Camp," Yang Hui continued.

"If you fail the assessment, you can at least enter the Basic Training Camp!"

"Of course, all of this depends on whether your talent meets the standards. You don't need to think too much about the assessment yet."

"First, let's do a simple verification. Go throw two punches at the Punching Power Testing Machine."

"One punch without using Force Exertion, and the other using the Nine-layered Thunder Blade's Force Exertion."

With Yang Hui and Zhou Zhengyong's discernment, they could indeed judge Yang Wu's Nine-layered Thunder Blade realm by the number of instantaneous accelerations when his fist shot out.

Furthermore, the two punching power readings alone could also reveal the realm of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

However, they had no idea that Yang Wu practiced the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

Yang Wu adjusted his breathing slightly. Then, his entire right arm carried an imposing momentum as it drove forward, his fist tracing an arc through the air.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out, and the Punching Target shook violently.

A line of data immediately appeared on the Punching Power Testing Machine's screen—"9001kg."

"Hiss, that's quite an increase." Yang Hui was shocked when he saw the data.

Based on the general standards for physical fitness, punch force between 4000kg and 8000kg fell within the High-level Fighter range!

Meanwhile, 8000kg to 16000kg was already within the Junior Warlord range.

If they remembered correctly, Yang Wu's punch force had been around 5000kg after his first cultivation of Gene Primary Energy.

Yet only two months had passed, and he had already reached 9000kg.

Although Yang Wu was a little old, his talent for Gene Primary Energy alone already qualified him to join the Elite Training Camp.

Seeing the exaggerated figure, Yang Wu could not help but smile happily.

It looked outrageous, but it was actually within Yang Wu's expectations.

Under normal circumstances, training after life-and-death battles allowed one's strength to improve faster.

Yang Wu gathered his momentum again. This punch was meant to use the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade's Force Exertion method.

Yang Wu had no intention of hiding his speed in cultivating the Nine-layered Thunder Blade. After all, his strength would inevitably attract attention in the future.

Revealing some of his advantages in advance still had considerable benefits.

"Hah!"

Yang Wu let out a low shout.

As he shouted, Yang Wu's right arm flashed through the air. In that brief instant, it accelerated twice in succession.

His speed instantly broke through the sound barrier, creating a terrifying sonic boom. Then, the heavy fist, like an Iron Hammer, smashed directly into the Punching Target.

Boom~~

The Punching Target jolted violently and toppled backward, only bouncing back up after a long while.

"Feels great." Yang Wu looked at the display.

The display paused briefly before showing a number—"27003kg."

Yang Wu was quite satisfied with this figure. A punch force of 27000 kilograms was already terrifying; after all, that was 27 tons of force!

Moreover, according to the physical fitness standards, 16000kg to 32000kg all fell within the Intermediate Warlord level.

However, even among Intermediate Warlords, someone barely reaching the 16000-kilogram threshold was vastly different from a veteran Intermediate Warlord.

At full power, Yang Wu's strength was already close to that of a plain Advanced Warlord.

"I didn't expect you to give me such a huge surprise, Yang Wu. Accelerating twice in succession after throwing a punch means you've already reached the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade." Yang Hui smiled faintly.

Because Yang Hui and Zhou Zhengyong had been focused on observing Yang Wu's Force Exertion method, neither had paid attention to the punch force reading.

Thus, neither noticed the "abnormality" in Yang Wu's data.

After all, one punch had been brute force at 9001kg, while the other had been a full-power eruption of the Second Layer of the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade, at 27003kg.

If it were the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, it should theoretically have been around 18900kg. At the very least, it should not have been 27003kg.

"The Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade... that doesn't seem right?" Zhuge Tao's puzzled voice rang out.

"What is it?" Zhou Zhengyong frowned. "With our eyesight, could we have judged it wrong?"

"I'm not saying your judgment was wrong." Zhuge Tao shook his head slightly.

"Judging solely from Yang Wu's Force Exertion method, it should indeed be the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade. But this punch force data is wrong."

"The punch force data is wrong? Let me see..." Zhou Zhengyong looked toward the Punching Power Testing Machine. "It really is wrong!"

"Why is it 27003kg?" Even Yang Hui, a War God, was dumbfounded. "Could it be that Yang Wu hid his strength in the first punch?"

"I didn't!" Yang Wu shook his head slightly. "I merely made a few simple changes to the Nine-layered Thunder Blade's Force Exertion method. I didn't expect a blind cat to catch a dead mouse."

"The improved Nine-layered Thunder Blade has a stronger Force Exertion Level."

"None of us have cultivated the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, so we don't know much about its specifics." Yang Hui shook his head slightly.

"However, your Force Exertion method does indeed resemble the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade."

"As for what to do specifically, I've already recorded a video and reported it to the Hall Master. The Hall Master will judge everything."

There were indeed many matters Yang Hui could not decide on his own, and this time, something had happened that he could not assess.

So after recording the video, he directly sent it back to headquarters for evaluation.

In Yang Hui's view, Hall Master Hong was the Global Number One Expert. There was no way he could make a mistake.

As for an improved Nine-layered Thunder Blade Force Exertion manual?

Yang Hui could only sneer at that!

In any case, he did not believe it. He simply assumed that Yang Wu had hidden his strength in the first punch!

And whether Yang Wu had hidden his strength or not was not important to Yang Hui. He only needed to confirm that Yang Wu had comprehended the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade and report it to headquarters.

From this point alone, Yang Wu had absolutely met the Elite Training Camp's standards. Even the assessment would not trouble him!

As for Microscopic-level Movement Technique and Proficient-level Saber Technique, Yang Hui did not verify them again.

That was because the surveillance footage from the previous Quasi-Warrior Assessment had already proven everything.

Limit Martial Hall Headquarters.

"Hmm?" Hong, who was cultivating, was suddenly interrupted by a notification from the Auxiliary Intelligence. He could not help but frown.

Hong would not be disturbed unless it was something important.

But this concerned the Elite Training Camp, and Yang Wu had cultivated the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade in one month!

"An increase of 4000 kilograms in punch force in two months, and he may have even hidden his strength?"

"He cultivated the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade in one month?"

Seeing the Auxiliary Intelligence's brief report, Hong was shocked.

Using the Original Work as an example, after Wu Tong discovered Luo Feng's situation, he had evaluated him as someone who could cultivate the Third Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade in half a year. Such a person only appeared once or twice a year.

And in terms of comprehension, Luo Feng in the early stages of cultivation was indeed inferior to Lei Shen.

The reason Lei Shen had taken decades to create the Nine-layered Thunder Blade...

First, he had relied entirely on self-creation. Second, the Nine-layered Thunder Blade's Force Exertion itself had flaws, making it increasingly difficult to cultivate further.

Hong and Lei Shen had a good relationship. Based on Hong's understanding of Lei Shen's talent, it was roughly on par with Yang Wu's!

That was precisely why Hong was so shocked.

Still, hearing was false while seeing was believing. Hong decided to first watch the video Yang Hui had sent.
