Four Times, Shocks The Entire Audience

"It's over, it's all over."

Seeing He An walk onto the stage, Sun Wangxian couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Not only him, but even Wang Zheng, whom he had just found, let out a long sigh.

"Brother Sun, Brother Wang, no need to worry, Xiao An won't disappoint you," He Ping glanced at the two and said to comfort them.

"Besides, things have already reached this point. Even if we worry, it's useless. We might as well relax and watch. What if there's a miracle?"

A miracle?

Surviving would be a miracle in itself.

Sun Wangxian grumbled in his heart, then asked in confusion, "Brother He, why aren't you worried at all?"

"Worried? How could I not be worried?"

He Ping smiled.

"Heh heh, if you're worried, then pigs can fly!" Sun Wangxian continued to grumble.

However, at this moment, Wang Zheng noticed something amiss. He was closest to He Ping and naturally understood how much the latter cared for his younger brother.

Now, facing life and death, he wasn't worried at all.

It was too strange.

Could it be... Xiao An is playing the pig to eat the tiger? Wang Zheng looked at He An on the stage and thought to himself.

On the stage.

He An slowly walked up.

All eyes were on him at this moment.

Curiosity, scrutiny, mockery...

"Young man, how many jin of stone lock do you plan to choose?" the tester asked.

He An thought for a moment.

Since he had come onto the stage, he hadn't planned to hide his strength any longer.

But everyone else had chosen three thousand jin. If he chose too high, wouldn't he seem out of place?

Finally, he made a decision. It was better to leave some room.

"I choose... three thousand jin!"

The scene erupted in shock.

"Three thousand jin? Has this kid gone mad?" Meng Cao exclaimed, standing up in surprise.

Master Li sneered, "In my opinion, this kid is just seeking attention. Knowing he'll embarrass himself, he might as well do it in a grand fashion."

He pulled Meng Cao, "Brother Meng, let's just sit back and watch how this kid makes a fool of himself!"

"Indeed!"

Meng Cao sat down with a mocking expression, his gaze fixed on He An on the stage.

As expected.

Lord Wei was also startled.

This kid, why did he choose a three-thousand-jin stone lock? He's only been practicing martial arts for a few months, hasn't he?

"A few months!"

Zuo Ying covered his mouth.

Hearing He An's choice, Wu Feng breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You weren't wrong. This kid was playing the pig to eat the tiger all along," County Governor Shen squinted and smiled.

Wu Feng laughed heartily, "Three thousand jin. This kid is indeed not as simple as he appears. If it weren't for my son's reminder, I might still be completely fooled by him."

"What are your plans next?"

"Win him over. Win him over at all costs."

Wu Feng's lips curved into a faint smile. "It has now been proven that his talent is beyond imagination. It's time to use the other purpose of the situation I've set up."

"Force him into a desperate situation!"

County Governor Shen pondered.

"Exactly," Wu Feng agreed with a smile.

"To win the Inner Growth Pill, he must expose his strength."

"Once his strength is exposed, he will arouse suspicion and be brutally targeted by them."

"When he has no one to turn to, and is on the brink of death, I will personally offer a helping hand. By then, he'll have no choice but to join our side, whether he wants to or not."

"Aren't you afraid that once he knows all this, he'll have no good feelings towards you or the Wu Family?" County Governor Shen continued to ask.

"What do you think?"

Wu Feng retorted.

County Governor Shen chuckled, "I don't think you are afraid."

"Hahaha!"

The two exchanged a smile, quickly drawing the attention of Meng Hai and the Xu Family Patriarch, Xu Hetong.

"Go investigate this kid on stage."

They both gave the order simultaneously.

He An was unaware that his casual choice had triggered an investigation by many prominent figures in Fangcheng.

"Are you sure you want to choose three thousand jin?" the person in charge of the test asked, trying to dissuade him. "A three-thousand-jin stone lock is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to lift."

"If you force yourself to lift it, it will cause damage to your body."

"Since that's the case, why not choose the lightest one to go last? Even if people laugh, it's better than damaging your body."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Good advice is wasted on a stubborn fool. The tester stopped trying to persuade him.

He An walked towards the stone lock and gently felt its weight with his hand, finding that it was exactly as he had guessed – the three-thousand-jin stone lock felt as light as cotton.

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring intently at He An's movements.

"Just showing off!" Meng Cao scoffed.

The next second, to everyone's astonishment, He An, without any hesitation, lifted the three-thousand-jin stone lock with incredible ease.

"How is that possible!"

Meng Cao shot up from his seat, his shock too immense to suppress.

He rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing, yet the image of He An holding the three-thousand-jin stone lock remained seared into his vision.

Master Li gripped the armrest of his chair with such force that it snapped.

He gasped for air, his mind in turmoil. This kid, he's been hiding his strength all along!

The two exchanged a look.

Deep apprehension arose in their eyes.

Meanwhile.

Gulp.

Sun Wangxian swallowed hard, his eyes dazed as he looked at He Ping.

"Brother He, I'm not dreaming, am I? He An just lifted a three-thousand-jin stone lock like it was nothing?"

He Ping shrugged, a smug look on his face.

"I told you to relax, but you wouldn't believe me."

"I believe you now. I believe you," Sun Wangxian murmured.

But then, a flicker of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

It's done. I've made it.

Wait for me, Town Martial Division Captain!!

He roared inwardly.

"This kid really knows how to hide his strength. Even I couldn't see through him," Wei Yangyun said with a wry smile. He glanced subtly at Zuo Ying beside him, who was covering her mouth in shock, and began to ponder something else.

Setting them up!

On stage, after putting down the stone lock, He An showed no signs of stopping.

The second time.

Still effortless!

The third time.

Still very easy!

It was only on the fourth lift that He An felt a slight weight. After effortlessly lifting it again, he lost the desire to continue.

"That's enough!"

He said softly.

The tester, snapping back to reality, quickly responded, then loudly announced, "He... He An, three thousand jin, four times."

At this moment, everyone's expressions were varied.

"Lifting a three-thousand-jin stone lock four times, and this kid can still do it so easily. Just how terrifying must his strength be?" Master Li said warily.

"Impossible!" Meng Cao grunted in a low voice.

"Even if this kid can lift a three-thousand-jin stone lock, he shouldn't be able to do it this many times, unless..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind: "I get it, I know why he has such strength."

"Yi Jin Jing, it's definitely because of Yi Jin Jing."

"Yi Jin Jing can strengthen the body, that's why he has such strength."

"Moreover, think carefully, with Xiao Si and Ning Yuan, who have one foot in the Muscle Condensing Realm, unable to lift the three-thousand-jin stone lock four times."

"How could he, someone who learned martial arts halfway, possibly achieve this."

"So I guess he must have exhausted all his strength, and even suffered severe internal injuries, to be able to lift the three-thousand-jin stone lock four times."

"When we fight later, his internal injuries will be exposed, and it will all be revealed!"

"That's right, that's exactly it!!"

A sinister look flashed across his face.

Although Master Li had some doubts, he still nodded: "Brother Meng, what you said is correct. Lifting the stone lock can still be achieved through trickery."

"But the actual combat later is what will truly decide everything!"

"At that time, he will still be doomed!!"
