A hundred meters in four seconds worked out to twenty-five meters a second. That was not even Huang Tian's top speed, but merely the standard for the early phase of the First Stage. Though he did not yet know how this world divided its levels of power, he could still distinguish between the early, middle, and late phases of the First Stage.
He was now in the middle phase of the First Stage. A single punch carried several tons of force, and at a full sprint, he could cross a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. But he suspected someone was manipulating this planet's "spiritual energy revival" from behind the scenes, and judging by the state of the world, that person's intentions were likely far from good.
