Unrivaled in the Entire School

Suppressing the smugness in his heart, Li Biao tested his physical fitness, obtaining a score of 616.

Afterward, he walked over to the Punch Force Tester, focused his energy, and threw a punch!

[Punch Force: 626 kg, Body Control: 90 points]

Seeing this data, especially the remarkably high 90 points in Body Control, the students who had been skeptical a moment ago immediately dismissed their doubts: it was truly impossible for multiple precision instruments to malfunction at the same time.

Li Biao also became the first examinee on the field so far to reach 90 points in Body Control, a brilliant result that was beyond question.

Han Zhen, the homeroom teacher who had been observing from the side, felt very satisfied.

Half a month ago, after confirming that Chen Mochuan had awakened, he had also spoken with Li Biao and already knew that he too had joined the ranks of the awakened, so he had anticipated the rapid rise in his blood-qi value.

But seeing Li Biao stand by the instrument, unwilling to leave even after the system had automatically recorded his results from the three punch tests, he guessed that this kid wanted to "show off in public" and couldn't help but find it amusing.

In a good mood, he made a rare joke: "Why are you still standing there? Do you want to take over as the proctor?"

Hearing this, Li Biao shook his head frantically and immediately fled the testing area in a somewhat "flustered" manner, returning to Chen Mochuan's side.

Once out of his teacher's line of sight, Li Biao immediately regained his triumphant expression, winking at Chen Mochuan: "How about it, Brother Chuan? Can I count as having stunned the whole crowd this time?"

Watching his best friend's penchant for showing off, Chen Mochuan was caught between laughter and tears, teasing him in return: "I suppose so. I just heard some classmates gasp in shock."

Li Biao grinned and chimed in: "Then they're really great for making such an outstanding contribution to global warming."

After a while, it was the turn of Jiang Hao, who had ranked first in the grade during the last monthly exam, to step up for testing.

He handed in a report card of [Basic Physical Fitness: 725 points], [Blood-Qi Value: 7.75, Punch Force: 713 kg, Body Control: 92 points], once again causing astonishment among the students.

Su Zhining, who followed him, also achieved results no less impressive than Jiang Hao's: [Basic Physical Fitness: 723 points], [Blood-Qi Value: 7.65, Punch Force: 711 kg, Body Control: 93 points].

"At the stage where blood-qi exceeds 7, these two can still maintain an increase of nearly 0.6 in a month. They are truly monsters!"

"After all, they are awakened ones. It's normal for them to make rapid progress in martial arts early on, but they might not necessarily go further than us in the end..."

"Won't they break through to become Martial Artists before the College Entrance Exam? If so, they'll definitely get into The Big Six!"

"That's too hard! To become a 'Mortal Shedding' Martial Artist, having a blood-qi of 10 is far from enough. That requires breaking the limits of the human Essence Gate and undergoing a transformation of one's life level."

"In that case, Li Biao's blood-qi is rising so fast—could it be that he also awakened a Spirit Talent?"

Once this speculation was raised, it was quickly accepted by a portion of the students. They cast envious glances at Li Biao, wishing they could awaken a Spirit Talent themselves immediately.

Li Biao ignored the gazes of others entirely, his attention focused on Jiang Hao and Su Zhining. Those two seemed to notice something as well, both looking toward this side with thoughtful expressions.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Biao curled his lips and muttered under his breath: "They just awakened a bit earlier than me. I'll catch up to them sooner or later!"

Chen Mochuan, however, did not pay too much attention to their results. He knew there was still a significant gap between himself and these two top students, so he did not feel any unnecessary anxiety.

His student ID number was toward the end, but it would be his turn soon.

"Chen Mochuan!"

Han Zhen looked at this student in whom he had placed high hopes, wishing for him to bring some surprises. Half a month ago, his blood-qi value was 3.66; he figured it must have successfully broken 4 by now.

"Brother Chuan, they're calling you! Go, go!" Li Biao urged him repeatedly, looking even more excited than when he had tested himself, just waiting to watch his good brother perform.

Glancing at his restless best friend, Chen Mochuan felt a bit helpless, but he didn't delay, stepping forward quickly and steadily into the blood-qi detector.

A soft yellow light flashed, and after a short prompt tone, the screen at the top of the blood-qi detector clearly displayed the result:

[Blood-Qi Value: 4.49]

The scene was instantly in an uproar, the volume of the noise far exceeding any previous instance.

"Is... is this right?"

"If I remember correctly, his blood-qi hadn't even broken 3 last month! This increase is over 1.5!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The instrument must be broken this time!"

The surrounding students began to clamor.

This time, even Han Zhen, who had prepared himself mentally and set his expectations very high, was stunned into speechlessness.

This terrifying rate of improvement could never be achieved by a Yellow-Grade Spirit Talent; it was highly likely to be the much rarer Mysterious-Grade Spirit Talent!

He had taught for many years and seen many students with Yellow-Grade Spirit Talent, but this was the first time he had encountered a seedling with Mysterious-Grade Spirit Talent.

Lin Hong, standing to the side, was also a bit dazed. As the Stance Training teacher for the key class, although he knew in advance that Chen Mochuan had awakened, no one told him this student was so ferocious.

He didn't even bother to restore order to the exam area immediately, instead subconsciously checking to see if the instrument was functioning normally. The result, of course, was that everything was as it should be.

Throughout the Martial Arts Arena, apart from the person involved, Chen Mochuan, who remained calm, only Li Biao—who had already known—was looking around, secretly chuckling as he watched the shocked expressions of the crowd.

If it weren't still exam time, he would have loved to use his Personal Terminal to take a picture of this "gallery of human nature" as a souvenir.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Hong hurriedly raised his voice to restore order, but the clamor was difficult to quell for a while.

It wasn't until Han Zhen also spoke in a deep voice to stop them that the Martial Arts Arena gradually quieted down.

"The result is valid!" Han Zhen announced solemnly, then signaled for the exam to continue.

On the basic physical fitness platform, after Chen Mochuan scored 439 points, he immediately walked over to the Punch Force Tester.

He knew well that the power of a punch does not just come from the arm, but begins from the feet.

Only with a stance as stable as a mountain can one channel the strength of the entire body, segment by segment, to erupt at a single point with minimal loss; thus, he spread his feet, slightly bent his knees, and stood firm.

As he adjusted his breathing, his previously relaxed body tensed up, his waist and hips sank, and the soles of his feet gripped the ground as if they had taken root.

Then, he pushed off the ground with both feet, his leg muscles coiling like springs to store energy, and the power surged upward, segment by segment, through his straightened spine, driving his shoulder blades to spread like wings.

His right arm transformed into a fully drawn longbow, the technique of Clear Force pushed to its absolute limit in that moment, and the strength of his entire body, like a rushing torrent, converged entirely into his clenched right fist!

With a dull, solid "thud," the impact rang out as the concentrated power erupted the instant his fist made contact with the cushion!

The screen of the Punch Force Tester flickered, then clearly displayed the test results: [Punch Force: 427kg, Body Control: 95 points]

Previously, among those who had taken the test, six people had reached a Body Control of 90 points, with the highest being Su Zhining at 93 points.

And now, Chen Mochuan had raised this record to 95 points in one fell swoop, crowning himself the best in the class and, without a doubt, the best in the entire school.
