Testing! The Power of a First-Order Martial Artist!

"I didn't encounter any difficulties."

"I've already condensed a Qi Vortex. I came to choose a cultivation technique."

Faced with Su Qingxue's question.

Lin Yuan shook his head and replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking.

The entire underground training ground instantly fell into dead silence.

Su Qingxue stood frozen in place.

Her beautiful eyes widened sharply, and even her breathing stopped for half a beat.

What had she just heard?

Condensed a Qi Vortex?

Only three days had passed!

In that era of full spiritual energy revival in her previous life.

Even geniuses built up with national resources needed at least a month to condense a Qi Vortex!

But now.

Spiritual energy had yet to fully revive.

The free spiritual energy in the air was pitifully thin.

Yet Lin Yuan had done it in only three days?

What kind of concept was that?

This could no longer be described as monstrous talent.

He had practically shattered the iron law of biological evolution!

It was not just Su Qingxue.

The newcomers recruited by the military were equally thunderstruck.

Ye Qingshan held a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

He squeezed so hard that the plastic bottle crackled, spilling water all over his pant leg.

Yet he did not notice at all.

Chu Tiankuo's mouth hung open wide enough to fit a lightbulb.

He turned to look at Xiao Zhan beside him.

"Brother Xiao."

"Did I hear that right?"

"He condensed a Qi Vortex and became a Martial Artist?"

Xiao Zhan said nothing.

This blade technique grandmaster from his previous life was staring fixedly at Lin Yuan.

There was no jealousy in his gaze.

Only the instinctive shock one felt upon seeing an unattainably towering mountain.

Song Qingyin bit her lower lip and looked at Lin Yuan's profile.

So this was what a true genius looked like? This was way beyond the limit!

While everyone's brains were still frozen.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the training ground.

Several researchers in white coats rushed over as if they had gone mad.

The lead research supervisor had even run his glasses crooked.

"Lin Yuan!"

"What did you just say?"

"You really condensed a Qi Vortex?"

The research supervisor grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and asked anxiously.

"Yes."

Looking at the researchers whose eyes were shining.

Lin Yuan calmly nodded.

"This is unbelievable!"

"This is nothing short of a miracle!"

The research supervisor was so excited that he could barely form coherent sentences.

He turned and roared at his assistants behind him.

"Quick!"

"Bring the equipment over!"

"Prepare the highest-grade test!"

"I want the data! I want the data immediately!"

The assistants were just as fired up as they ran off to calibrate the machines.

Lin Yuan did not refuse.

Ever since he had begun cultivating martial arts.

He had undergone testing once every day.

Besides.

Lin Yuan also wanted to know.

Just how much he had improved after breaking through to a First-Order Martial Artist.

Ten minutes later.

The testing equipment in the center of the training ground was ready.

"Lin Yuan."

"Quick, throw a punch with all your strength!"

Standing before the control console, the research supervisor's voice shook uncontrollably.

Lin Yuan walked up to the force-testing target.

He did not assume any complicated stance. He simply clenched his fist and drew back his arm.

The instant he gathered strength.

A faint yet solid stream of true energy flowed through the meridians in his body and gathered in his right fist.

"Bang—"

A visible shockwave spread outward.

Several research assistants standing nearby were even pushed back two steps by the blast.

The electronic display on the force meter began flashing wildly.

The red digits surged upward at breakneck speed.

Finally.

The number froze in place.

5208 KG!

"5208 KG?"

Staring at the number on the screen.

The research supervisor went blank, repeating it as if possessed.

The entire training ground erupted as well.

Ye Qingshan shot to his feet and stared fixedly at the screen.

More than five tons!

Was that a force a human could produce?

An ordinary family sedan only weighed a little over a ton.

Lin Yuan's punch could crush a car straight into a sheet of metal!

"If that hit someone..."

"It wouldn't even need to land. The fist wind alone could shatter their internal organs."

Chu Tiankuo swallowed and instinctively touched his chest.

Su Qingxue could no longer remain calm either.

She strode over to the equipment and stared at that glaring string of numbers.

She remembered clearly.

When Lin Yuan had tested yesterday, his punching force had only been 2451 KG.

Today, it had more than doubled!

Was this what a true monster was?

One had to know.

In Dragon Country during her previous life.

An ordinary First-Tier Early Stage Martial Artist generally had a punching force of around 3500 KG.

5208 KG was already very close to that of a Mid First Rank Martial Artist!

"Speed!"

"Test his speed, now!"

A moment later.

The research supervisor regained his senses and gave the order loudly.

On the hundred-meter test track.

Lin Yuan stood at the starting line and lowered his body slightly.

As the electronic countdown ended.

"Whoosh!"

Only a blurry afterimage remained where he had stood.

By the time everyone reacted.

Lin Yuan was already standing at the finish line a hundred meters away, without even taking a breath.

"4.7 seconds!"

When the assistant at the control console shouted the number, his voice cracked.

4.7 seconds for one hundred meters.

Without any running start, it was practically low-altitude flight!

This had completely surpassed the limits of human physiology.

"Heart rate normal!"

"Blood pressure normal!"

"Bone load-bearing capacity perfect!"

"No tears in the muscle fibers!"

"..."

The assistants rapidly reported his various physical data.

The way they looked at Lin Yuan now was no longer the way one looked at a person, but at a perfect evolved organism.

Just then.

The training ground doors were shoved open forcefully.

Nie Dingguo led a group of senior officers toward Lin Yuan at a brisk pace.

The old general's strides were fast and heavy.

He had clearly received an emergency report, abandoned his meeting, and rushed over.

"Commander!"

"Have you seen the data?!"

The research supervisor hurried forward.

He handed the freshly printed report in his hand to Nie Dingguo.

Nie Dingguo lowered his head to study the report.

Several senior officers behind him also gathered around.

After seeing the numbers on it.

The generals who had weathered countless storms all drew sharp breaths in unison.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Nie Dingguo said "good" three times in a row, excitement appearing on his face.

He strode over to Lin Yuan and heavily patted him on the shoulder.

"Lin Yuan."

"You haven't let the country down!"

Over the past few days.

There had actually been some opposition within the military district.

After all, pouring the resources of the entire military district into training one young man.

Was indeed a rather risky move.

But now.

Lin Yuan's performance was enough to silence everyone!

"You flatter me, Commander."

Lin Yuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He knew very well how much weight he carried now.

The greater the talent he revealed, the more protection and resources the nation would provide.

And that was precisely why.

Lin Yuan had never considered playing the fool to catch a tiger.

He wanted to use the nation's strength to grow powerful as quickly as possible.

Only then.

Could he protect everything he cared about.

"Commander."

"Since Lin Yuan has already broken through."

"According to our agreement, he is now qualified to choose a genuine martial arts cultivation technique."

Su Qingxue stepped forward, her tone becoming incomparably solemn.

The better Lin Yuan's talent and the stronger his strength.

The greater humanity's advantage would be when facing the Ferocious Beasts.

"Arrange it immediately!"

Nie Dingguo nodded without hesitation.

He turned to look at the adjutant behind him.

"Clear out the No. 3 Secret Command Room immediately."

"While Lin Yuan is choosing a cultivation technique, no one is allowed to approach. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with under military law!"

The adjutant snapped to attention and saluted before quickly turning to make the arrangements.

"Lin Yuan."

"Pick whatever cultivation technique you want!"

"As long as Instructor Su has it, the military district will fully support you!"
