After using the Tiger Cannon Fist, he could reach over 16,000 kilograms!
He did not know the exact figure. He could only find an opportunity to test it after martial law was lifted.
Such strength had already fully entered the level of a War General Level Martial Artist.
And this was only Yang Yu's first cultivation session.
Even the most gifted Monsters probably only improved this much after absorbing Cosmic Energy for the first time.
Moreover, Monsters did not understand Force Application Technique or Martial Way Insight.
So humanity's potential actually far exceeded that of Monsters.
It was only because, in the early stages of mutation, Monsters possessed overwhelming numbers, superior physical conditions, and faster reproduction rates that they had pulled far ahead of ordinary humans from the start.
Only elites among humanity could contend with or defeat most Monsters.
But there had previously been far too few humans who practiced martial arts.
Compared to animals that possessed the strength of a Junior Fighter almost as soon as they mutated, humanity was at a tremendous disadvantage.
Even though the strongest human Martial Artists were no weaker than the most powerful Monsters in the early stages, the gap in strength among the middle and lower ranks was simply too great.
That was why, despite Hong and Thor's immense strength, they could only ensure that the land belonged to humanity.
The seas, on the other hand, had to be avoided.
And even that required the cooperation of various High-Tech Weapons developed later on to hold humanity's Base Cities on land.
Otherwise, even if Hong and Thor worked themselves to death, they would not be able to provide support everywhere. The number of Monsters was simply too terrifying.
If humanity wanted to rise again, it absolutely could not rely on just one person or a handful of people.
Only when everyone grew stronger could it succeed.
Now that Yang Yu had successfully cultivated Genetic Origin Energy, and his improvement from the first session had been so enormous,
once his Spiritual Force naturally awakened, Yang Yu's Combat Destructive Power would become even greater!
Yang Yu estimated that Hong and Thor had probably reached the realm of Martial Way Grandmasters even before the Grand Nirvana. Their physical fitness and martial techniques had both reached their limits.
At this point in time, they should have also completed their first refinement of Cosmic Energy.
After all, it was perfectly normal for Martial Way Grandmasters to happen upon the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method while meditating and thus step onto the path of refining Genetic Origin Energy.
Yang Yu guessed that Hong and Thor's improvement after refining Cosmic Energy for the first time should have been much greater than his own.
After all, his Martial Way Insight was only at the Master Level. Although their pure physical fitness might have been about the same,
the enormous gap in Martial Way meant that Hong and Thor's efficiency in absorbing and converting Cosmic Energy was certainly higher.
Based on the extent of his own improvement,
Yang Yu estimated that after Hong and Thor completed their first refinement of Cosmic Energy, their pure punching strength should have reached the level of Senior Fighters.
Combined with their Body Force Output techniques, their final strength should have been that of Intermediate War Generals.
In other words, one minor level above Yang Yu.
Of course.
This was only Yang Yu's speculation. The exact situation remained unknown.
But it should have been more or less like this.
After all, Hong and Thor's Martial Foundation was simply too profound. Judging from the Original Work, the two of them reached the War God Limit less than a year after the Grand Nirvana erupted, then broke through to the Planetary Level in around three years.
So it was perfectly normal for them to possess the strength of Intermediate War Generals at this point in time.
Moreover, Yang Yu guessed that the reason Hong and Thor took three years to reach the Planetary Level was most likely because they spent the middle two years searching for a method of breakthrough.
That was, searching the entire world for Ancient Civilization Ruins.
Otherwise, they could have broken through even faster!
This was the true worth of the two most gifted people on Earth before Luo Feng appeared.
Of course.
Now Yang Yu had to be added to that list.
Once Yang Yu's Spiritual Force awakened, the destructive power he could unleash in actual combat would even surpass theirs.
After all, a Spirit Reader's strength was usually calculated as two levels above a Martial Artist's rank.
But that also depended on having sufficient Spiritual Force.
Yang Yu guessed that the Spiritual Force within his mind should not be weak.
At the very least, it would be enough to support him until the War God stage, which was Apprentice Level 7.
If he was lucky, he might even possess Spiritual Force reserves at the War God Limit, just like Luo Feng.
Thinking of this, Yang Yu did not hurry outside. Instead, he continued sitting cross-legged on the bed and quietly sensed the Spiritual Force deep within his mind.
He tried to catch a glimpse of it.
But because it had not yet awakened, no matter how hard Yang Yu focused, he gained nothing at all.
After thinking back carefully,
he recalled that aside from the obscure tremor of a Mysterious Space somewhere in his mind when the Baihui Acupoint had fiercely absorbed Cosmic Energy at the beginning, there had been no further movement.
It was the same now, as though he were no different from an ordinary person.
But Yang Yu did not mind.
Judging from Luo Feng's awakening process in the Original Work,
as long as one's physical fitness could withstand the Spiritual Force Burst, there would not actually be any danger.
With physical fitness at the Quasi-Martial Artist level, successful awakening was even guaranteed.
The only difference was how quickly it happened.
He looked at his watch. It was now seven thirty in the evening.
From eight in the morning until now, nearly eleven hours had passed!
Absorbing Cosmic Energy for so long was within Yang Yu's expectations.
After all, before this, Yang Yu's physical fitness had already reached the Human Body Limit, fully comparable to that of a Junior Fighter.
Combined with his profound Martial Way Insight and powerful perception,
it made sense that he could absorb for so long and improve so greatly.
He rose and moved around a little.
A series of muscle and bone cracking sounds came from all over Yang Yu's body.
He took a few tentative steps. The sudden increase in strength still felt somewhat unfamiliar.
But with his Master Level Martial Way Insight and powerful Strength Control,
after practicing several sets of San Ti Shi and Xingyiquan, Yang Yu had completely adapted to his surging strength.
After confirming that he had fully mastered his strength,
Yang Yu opened the door and went to the living room, where he saw Grandfather sitting at the dining table with a variety of dishes laid out before him.
The news continued playing in the hall.
"Xiao Yu, you're up! Come eat quickly. You've been hungry all day."
When Grandpa Yang saw Yang Yu emerge, he hurriedly got up to serve him rice and reheated the dishes that had gone a little cold.
"Grandfather, you should eat too."
With that, Yang Yu began eating. He truly was a little hungry.
Although he had absorbed Cosmic Energy all day, he had not yet reached the Planetary Level. His body still needed food, so at the sight of the delicious meal, his stomach immediately began growling.
The food tasted especially good.
"Haha, don't worry about me, Xiao Yu. I already ate earlier. These dishes are all for you." Yang Yu had not left his room all day. Although Grandpa Yang had been very worried, because of Yang Yu's instructions that morning, he had forcibly restrained the urge to knock on the door. Instead, he silently prepared the food and waited for Yang Yu to come out.
Moreover, Yang Yu's recent martial arts training had indeed produced remarkable results, so Grandpa Yang could only comfort himself and ease his worries.
After all, Yang Yu had truly behaved very maturely during this period.
After finishing dinner and cleaning up with Grandfather,
the two sat in the living room and began watching the evening news.
They continued following the developments of the situation.
