Testing

Not long after Ye Mohan left, the secretary named "Little Wang" turned around and gave Su Li and Xia Ke a huge smile. She asked,

"You're students from Donghai University, right? I'm Director Ye's secretary. You can call me Secretary Wang!"

"By the way, you two are a couple, right? A couple becoming Superhumans together—how enviable..."

Watching Secretary Wang prattle on without stopping, Su Li said helplessly, "Secretary Wang, can we register now?"

"Of course. Come with me!"

Secretary Wang smiled and waved for the two of them to follow her downstairs.

A moment later, the three of them arrived at a place that looked like a training room.

"Before registering as Superhumans, you'll need to undergo a few simple tests!" Secretary Wang pointed at a Force Tester and said, "That's a specially made Force Tester. Go up and give it a try!"

"Okay..."

Su Li nodded and stepped forward. He struck it with a "full-power" punch.

1223kg!

Looking at the data he had produced, Su Li sighed in relief. He had genuinely been afraid that he might lose control and produce some horrifying number.

Although this figure was still on the high side, it was barely acceptable!

"Oh, your boyfriend is pretty strong!" Secretary Wang watched from a distance, somewhat surprised.

Based on her past experience, for someone who had just become a Superhuman, a strength of around 1000 kg was already quite good. Only a few people with extraordinary talent could exceed that limit.

"Mm!"

Although she didn't know exactly what Secretary Wang meant, Xia Ke still nodded earnestly.

Someone had praised her boyfriend, so of course she was happy!

"Don't feel pressured. Just hit it with all your strength!" After Su Li stepped down, he said this to Xia Ke.

"Okay!"

Xia Ke nodded and stepped up.

Boom!

1334kg!

Su Li: "..."

Secretary Wang: "..."

Looking at the number on the Force Tester, Secretary Wang turned her head again and said, "Oh, your girlfriend is pretty strong too!"

"Could this thing be broken?"

Su Li felt extremely frustrated. What was going on with Xia Ke? How could a normal F- Superhuman have such great strength?

Could it be an enhancement from her talent?

But wasn't her talent an enhancement to her charm?

"Impossible!" Secretary Wang said with absolute certainty. Then she asked, "Su Li? Your name is Su Li, right?"

"Su Li, you need to face reality. Your girlfriend is obviously stronger than you. From now on, you'd better think carefully about the consequences before doing anything!"

Su Li: "..."

"Well, I didn't perform well just now. I'll do it again!" Xia Ke, who was still standing on the Force Tester, said this before punching it again.

1123kg!

Looking at the newly displayed data, Xia Ke sighed in relief.

"This is actually my true level!" Xia Ke said as she stepped down.

"You don't have to do this!"

Su Li nearly wanted to vomit blood. Xia Ke had actually tried to comfort him like this?

If he got serious, he could blow up this Force Tester with one punch in a matter of seconds!

"Hehehe, you two are really interesting! All right, the strength test is complete. Let's go test some other data!" Secretary Wang waved at the two of them.

The testing lasted for more than an hour. Most of the tests measured physical data, such as physical toughness, reaction speed, and movement speed.

At the end of the testing, Secretary Wang said, "All right, you two. Next is the final test: your talents!"

"What's that?" Xia Ke thought for a moment, then asked, "Is it the speed at which we absorb energy while practicing the Breathing Technique?"

"Your talent is actually the superpower you acquired when you became a Superhuman. As for why it's called a 'talent,' I don't know either!" Secretary Wang explained.

"So it's a superpower!"

Su Li said nothing. When he heard Secretary Wang mention the word "talent," his thoughts immediately turned to something else.

Yes, the source of Superpower Technology.

It wasn't that Su Li refused to believe that humans had developed this technology themselves. After all, Superhumans truly existed. What if someone had gotten incredibly lucky and managed to develop it?

But now, Su Li felt that this possibility was unlikely.

The reason was the terminology. When Superhumans acquired special abilities, why call them "talents"?

Names like "superpowers" were much more vivid than this strange term, and ordinary people could understand what they meant at a glance.

Yet they had chosen to call Superhumans' special abilities "talents"!

What did that indicate? It indicated that the emergence of Superhumans on Earth had most likely been influenced by other factors!

If there were other sources, what could they be? Aliens? The ruins of an ancient civilization? Or perhaps... Su Li's imagination ran wild for a moment, and he suddenly felt that the real world had become much more complicated.

While Su Li was deep in thought, Xia Ke patted him on the arm and said, "Su Li, Su Li, what are you thinking about? Secretary Wang is calling you!"

"Huh?" Su Li came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I got distracted."

"It's fine. Come on, show us the talent you acquired!" Secretary Wang said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Su Li nodded and activated his will. In an instant, three translucent longswords appeared in front of him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three longswords transformed into three white streaks of light and suddenly appeared embedded deep in a distant target.

"Unlimited Blade Works! That's the name I gave it."

Secretary Wang: "..."

After hesitating for a moment, Secretary Wang finally nodded.

This was a fairly lethal talent, but it was completely useless for scientific research!

Secretary Wang silently gave her assessment in her heart.

Just then, Xia Ke looked at the longsword Su Li had just handed her and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

"It's for you!"

Carbon gold had an advantage in this regard. It looked like crystal and was extremely beautiful, making it a perfect tool for pleasing girls.

"Mm!"

Xia Ke nodded and happily examined the gleaming longsword.

"Ahem, controlled weapons like that can't be brought into public places!" Secretary Wang, who had sensed the romantic atmosphere between them, promptly reminded them.

"It's fine. I'm not taking it outside!" Xia Ke said unconcernedly.

"...Then, what's your talent?" Secretary Wang asked as she looked at Xia Ke.

"I'm actually not entirely sure!" Xia Ke thought for a moment, then continued,

"If we're talking about a special ability, it might be my eyes? Before becoming a Superhuman, I suffered from severe congenital amblyopia. But now, my eyesight has become extremely good!"

"How good?" Secretary Wang asked.

"Just a little better than a normal person's..."

Secretary Wang: "..."

"I'm asking about a special ability, not something irrelevant!" Secretary Wang said through clenched teeth.

"Oh!" Xia Ke nodded, then continued,

"Then it's probably my gaze? I always feel that my eyes have some special ability, but I've never tested it, so I'm not entirely sure!"

"Your gaze..."

Secretary Wang was somewhat speechless. Superhumans generally couldn't be wrong about their perception of their own abilities. In other words, Xia Ke's gaze really did possess a special ability.

Perhaps she could kill people with a look!

Su Li, who was standing nearby, also nodded when he heard Xia Ke's words.

If Xia Ke had a talent, then her gaze was undoubtedly the most plausible possibility. After all, he had also been captivated by Xia Ke's gaze the previous night.

A talent that could make a girl more beautiful was simply perfect for someone as looks-focused as him!

Just as Su Li was secretly nodding, the long-silent Blue Screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking at the information displayed on it, a trace of understanding appeared on Su Li's face.
