With a roar that seemed to tear eardrums apart, Fu Junlin bellowed.
The boulder was actually forced backward by his strength alone.
The shock in Shi Hongyu and the others' eyes was beyond measure!
How was that possible!?
Shi Hongyu was a Level Two Master Fistmaster. Even she could not withstand that massive boulder, so how could Fu Junlin, a Level One Master War Banner Master, possibly do it?
Was it because he was a Subspecies?
Subspecies did indeed possess physiques noticeably superior to those of Superior Species, and the difference became more pronounced at higher levels.
But Duo Xinyu was also a Subspecies, so why was his physique as weak as a chicken's?
And why had Fu Junlin's legs swollen to such a terrifying extent??
Meanwhile, on the rear training field of Flying Cloud Vine School.
Through the drone footage, all the teachers and students on the field who saw the full scene after the drone flew closer had their mouths hanging open as they stared at it in disbelief.
The drones Shi Hongyu had thrown against the walls and stuck there had limited energy—their flying energy was limited.
But they had been able to provide footage earlier.
The people on the field had originally only been observing the battlefield through remotely magnified footage. Although several drones provided different angles, the Arena Zone was, after all, like a maze.
After the explosion, the scene below could not be filmed at all by the drones stuck to the walls.
On top of that, Chen Zhengfeng, the War Banner Master, had teleported back while the others had gone silent, and the school's teachers immediately grew anxious.
After an emergency discussion, the dean of discipline ordered a drone launched to fly overhead and determine the situation.
This could help Shi Hongyu and the others.
And the moment the drone approached, it saw this scene.
More accurately, it captured an aerial view of the whole situation. Behind that boulder, desperately pushing it forward, was a gigantic Longhorn Beetle!
On the screen, a boulder stood between the Longhorn Beetle on one side and Fu Junlin, Shi Hongyu, and the others on the other.
Originally, neither side had been able to gain the upper hand.
But Fu Junlin changed, his thighs swelling to a terrifying extent.
With a tiger-like roar, he actually forced the boulder backward.
The rear training field fell into a terrifying silence at the sight.
"Junlin! Keep it up!"
A mist of tears clouded Ling Xiaobing's eyes. She bit her lip hard, clenched her delicate fists, and silently cheered Fu Junlin on.
Quite a few girls covered their mouths, worry written across their faces. Some even shed tears as they silently rooted for Fu Junlin.
But this immediately annoyed many of the boys...
Damn it!...
Pushing a rock was enough to make these fangirls act like this!
At once, many boys looked at Fu Junlin on the screen with even greater hostility.
The dean of discipline reacted the fastest. He immediately snatched the radio from Chen Zhengfeng's waist, pressed the transmission button, and shouted:
"Hongyu! There's a giant longhorn beetle behind the boulder. Its legs should be about to break!"
The dean of discipline had sharp eyes. At a glance, he could tell that although the giant beetle had been pushed backward some distance, its six legs had not retreated.
Instead, its entire body had been shoved into a slant. Although its upper body had been pushed back, its lower limbs were still dug firmly into the ground.
They were bearing immense pressure.
Just as Shi Hongyu was reeling in shock inside the Arena Zone, the dean of discipline's voice came through the radio. She immediately understood what he meant.
"Junlin! Save your strength and wait for my command! Xinyu, Zishu, eight Force Intensity!"
Hearing Shi Hongyu's crisp shout, Fu Junlin finally managed to stop his outburst, seemingly regaining some of his reason.
But in truth, Big Black was controlling his body at that moment.
"Three! Two! One! Push!!"
Shi Hongyu's legs were nearly fully extended by then. They had reached a critical point—once their legs fully straightened, they would lack the necessary reach and would have to put both feet on the ground.
But in that instant, if their strength slackened, they might be knocked back by the rebound. She did not know whether Fu Junlin would still be able to unleash a second outburst then.
So she had to make one final gamble before their legs fully extended.
As for telling Qiao Zishu and Duo Xinyu to provide eight Force Intensity, that was a professional command.
It was relatively common during missions.
Force Intensity was the name of a unit.
Generally speaking, for Subspecies, the ratio at which Palm Energy could drive Passive Energy was 1:1.
In other words, a Subspecies could use one unit of their own Palm Energy to drive one unit of Passive Energy.
This was how attacks were formed.
But for Superior Species, the ratio of Palm Energy driving Passive Energy was 1:2.
In other words, a Superior Species could use one unit of Palm Energy to drive two units of Passive Energy.
For Mighty Species, it was 1:3.
One unit of Palm Energy could drive three units of Passive Energy.
During missions, it was common for Subspecies, Superior Species, and Mighty Species to form joint teams.
So if I was fighting a monster and knew how strong its defense was, how could I tell my teammates what strength of attack would break through its defenses and injure it without wasting energy through excessive damage?
That was how the concept of Force Intensity came about.
Twelve units of energy made up one Force Intensity.
Because twelve was a universally applicable minimum energy unit.
When the team leader said, "I need one Force Intensity of attack power to break the monster's defenses."
A Subspecies would need to use six Palm Energy to drive six Passive Energy. A 6:6 ratio formed one Force Intensity.
A Superior Species would need to use four Palm Energy to drive eight Passive Energy. A 4:8 ratio formed one Force Intensity.
A Mighty Species only needed three Palm Energy to drive nine Passive Energy. A 3:9 ratio formed one Force Intensity.
And so on.
If the team leader wanted three, four, or seven or eight Force Intensity, the team members had to provide the corresponding attack strength to coordinate.
This kind of coordination was generally used more often in higher-level battles.
Because energy was what everything depended on, and not a single unit of Palm Energy could be wasted carelessly.
This was also why Mighty Species were stronger than Superior Species, and Superior Species were stronger than Subspecies.
When everyone possessed the same amount of Palm Energy, I only needed three units of Palm Energy to unleash one unit of energy strength, while you needed six. Who would be drained first?
And when everyone provided the same Force Intensity, it felt like everyone's strength was directed in the same place.
Following Shi Hongyu's shout to push.
The three of them simultaneously poured eight Force Intensity into their legs, while Fu Junlin let out another furious roar.
Hiss! Crack!
The first sound came from the boulder being violently shoved backward a full fifteen centimeters.
The second was the sound of the giant Longhorn Beetle's arthropod limbs snapping behind the boulder.
Shi Hongyu felt the pressure behind her suddenly lighten as the force pushing against the boulder instantly vanished.
The dean of discipline's excited reminder came through the radio:
"Hongyu! The longhorn beetle's legs are broken! Hurry and kill it!"
