Xie Xie was practically on the verge of tears.
Could they give him a way to survive?
Was this really a girl?
She was practically a female tyrannosaur!
An Elementalist's strength was barely any worse than his, a Twin Martial Souls agility-type Soul Master's...
How was anyone supposed to live like this?
The strength advantage he had built through painstaking training had not even made a ripple before Gu Yue.
Although Ye Yingluo was surprised, she quickly regained her composure.
She recorded Gu Yue's numbers on the form, and the expression on her face had already changed from initial shock to calmness.
After all, there had already been Han Li, whose spiritual power was absurdly above the limit despite not possessing a spiritual Martial Soul.
So having Gu Yue, who possessed a spiritual Martial Soul but whose strength was absurdly above the limit, was perfectly normal too.
Perhaps after being shocked too many times...
One simply stopped being able to feel shocked.
It was like getting struck by lightning once; when struck a second time, all one could think was, Oh, here it comes again.
Ye Yingluo then looked toward Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin stepped forward on his own initiative.
He had been standing to the side, watching Gu Yue's test results. There was no particular expression on his face.
But the slight tightening of his lips revealed that he was quietly competing with her as well.
He walked up to the machine. Instead of punching immediately, he first loosened his wrists and shoulders, adjusted his breathing, then lowered his center of gravity into a horse stance and fiercely threw a left punch.
"Bang!"
Two hundred and twenty-three kilograms.
Then came his right fist.
"Bang!"
Two hundred and thirty-eight kilograms.
The test results appeared.
No one was particularly surprised.
Strength exceeding two hundred kilograms was already terrifying for a nine-year-old child.
But in an environment like Zero Class, with Gu Yue and Xie Xie setting the stage before him...
That number instead seemed less outstanding.
Although Tang Wulin possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.
His first Martial Soul was still Blue Silver Grass, a useless Martial Soul, while his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.
But as a tool Martial Soul, its enhancement to a Soul Master's physical qualities was not as great as that of a beast Martial Soul.
The Clear Sky Hammer brought explosive power and greater attack strength, but unlike a beast Martial Soul, it did not directly enhance one's foundational physical attributes.
Therefore, Tang Wulin reaching more than two hundred kilograms of strength at the age of nine was already a very respectable performance.
It could only be called average.
Not dazzling, but absolutely not poor either.
Finally, it was Han Li's turn...
Everyone's gazes became expectant.
Xie Xie had already adjusted his mindset. He stood off to the side with his arms folded, staring unblinkingly at Han Li.
Tang Wulin was equally focused.
Gu Yue's gaze held curiosity and scrutiny.
Even Ye Yingluo and Wu Changkong unconsciously focused their attention on Han Li.
Ever since before, Han Li had given them the impression of possessing unmatched strength.
From sending Tang Wulin flying with a single slap on the training ground to his terrifying performance in the spiritual power test just now.
Han Li had already become synonymous with a monster in everyone's minds.
Especially in terms of strength.
That power of the Golden Dragon Claw, capable of shattering everything...
Was what had left the deepest impression on everyone.
So what would Han Li's test result be?
Seeing this, Han Li calmly stepped forward.
He stood before the strength-testing machine.
The upper limit of this machine was ten thousand jin of force.
That was five thousand kilograms of strength.
For a nine-year-old child, that upper limit was absurdly high. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to break.
Han Li did not make any preparatory movements.
He merely raised his right fist and casually, almost absentmindedly, tapped the target surface.
Yes, tapped it.
"Boom!"
A thunderous blast exploded through the room.
The machine instantly caved in at its center.
The metal target surface twisted and warped, while the internal structure collapsed and broke apart under the enormous impact.
The entire machine looked as though it had been struck head-on by a speeding train...
It was violently ripped from its fixed position, slammed into the wall, then fell to the floor and shattered into a pile of scrap metal.
At that moment, Ye Yingluo and Wu Changkong were completely dumbfounded.
They had to know...
This machine was capable of withstanding ten thousand jin of force.
Converted into kilograms.
That was a full five thousand kilograms!
In other words, Han Li's punch had exceeded five thousand kilograms of force!
At that moment, a thought arose in everyone's minds.
Human?
Was he really human?
Right now, Han Li felt to them like a humanoid Soul Beast walking upright.
What Ten-Year Soul Beasts, what Hundred-Year Soul Beasts...
They probably could not withstand a single punch from Han Li.
This was not strength a nine-year-old child should possess, nor was it strength a two-ring Soul Master should possess.
What did five thousand kilograms mean?
Five tons!
A small Soul Guidance Car only weighed one or two tons. Han Li could punch a car into the air.
At last, Ye Yingluo took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her voice calm.
"I... I'm going to find the headmaster."
She turned and quickly left the room. Her high heels struck the floor in rapid clicks that gradually faded away.
The remaining few stood in the room, now resembling ruins, looking at one another. No one knew what to say.
About ten minutes later...
Ye Yingluo returned.
Headmaster Yu Zhen was following behind her.
Yu Zhen was a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and imposing, with a stern face and a dark formal suit.
After entering the room, he swept his gaze over the pile of ruined machine parts on the floor, then looked at Han Li with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"This machine is indeed broken. Replace it."
As Yu Zhen spoke, he gestured behind him.
Two staff members carried in a larger machine.
This machine was more than a full size larger than the previous one. Its metal target surface was thicker, and its base was sturdier.
The staff installed the machine, calibrated it, then withdrew.
The upper limit of this testing machine reached a full one hundred thousand jin, or fifty thousand kilograms.
"Come on, little fellow."
Yu Zhen looked at Han Li, his tone carrying a hint of encouragement.
"Let me see your true strength."
Han Li nodded and walked up to the new machine.
A punch fell.
"Bang!"
The target surface gave off a dull, thunderous impact.
The entire machine shook violently.
The numbers on the Soul Guidance Screen rapidly climbed.
They finally stopped.
Left hand, twenty-five thousand two hundred and ninety-four kilograms.
Han Li did not pause. His right hand immediately followed.
"Bang!"
An even duller, heavier boom.
Right hand, twenty-nine thousand one hundred and thirty-eight kilograms.
The values appeared.
The entire room fell silent.
Xie Xie's eyes widened more than they ever had before. His mouth hung open, but he could not utter a single word.
Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly.
Yu Zhen stood at the doorway.
At that moment, the composure on his face vanished, replaced by shock he could not conceal.
He had served as headmaster for so many years and seen countless gifted students, but he had never seen any nine-year-old child strike with more than twenty-five thousand kilograms of force.
