Zhuang Silin smiled and said, "Words are useless; I want to see tangible results."
Xu Jintang pondered for a moment, "Then when it's my turn to test, I'll have Yan Yuting assist me. If I can achieve results far exceeding my own abilities with her superpower boost, then what I said will prove to be true."
"What if you can't type it?" Zhuang Silin asked, staring at her.
"That's impossible," Xu Jintang replied firmly.
Her confident demeanor piqued Zhuang Silin's interest. "Alright, the requirement for the First Tier is 200 jin of strength. As punishment for your lateness today, that requirement will be doubled, making it 400 jin. And you just mentioned that Yan Yuting's ability greatly benefits you, so that requirement will be doubled again, making it 800 jin."
"If you can generate 800 jin of force, I will not pursue the matter of Yan Yuting's failing grade."
Chapter 50
The maximum strength of First Tier superhuman is only about 500 jin (250 kg).
Only highly skilled melee-type ability users can do this.
When they heard the requirement of 800 jin, Xue Zhongqi and the others were all dumbfounded.
" Teacher Zhuang, you must be joking, right?" Song Tianqi asked with a smile.
Jiang Shiyi, who was usually not very talkative, also looked up in surprise, seemingly considering the rationality of the request.
Yan Yuting looked utterly devastated.
She eliminated herself, which is one thing, but now she's dragged the class monitor into it too. She's really creating a mess.
"Teacher, it's true that I didn't meet the requirements in the assessment. If you're going to eliminate someone, then eliminate me." She quickly took the blame, not wanting to involve innocent people.
"What's the rush? Do you think I'm the kind of teacher who's unreasonable?" Zhuang Silin looked at Yan Yuting with amusement. "I said if she can achieve this result, I won't pursue the matter with you. If she can't, then her protest is invalid. I didn't say that if she can't hit 800 jin, I'll kick her out of the experimental class."
"Oh, I see." Yan Yuting was stunned, looking like she was about to cry.
So, she was the only one who got hurt after all.
Xu Jintang took a deep breath and stood in front of the strength testing machine to move his wrists.
"Ready?" Zhuang Silin turned to look at her.
Xu Jintang nodded, "Ready."
As she finished speaking, a serious expression flashed across her eyes.
She stepped forward, clenched her fist, and rapidly channeled all her strength into her right arm.
"Bang--"
A loud bang came from the rubber target.
The numbers on the electronic screen behind me jumped rapidly, eventually displaying "one thousand jin".
The scene fell completely silent.
Song Tianqi and the others stared at Xu Jintang in disbelief, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
A hint of seriousness appeared in Zhuang Silin's eyes.
Eight hundred jin was a rough figure she arrived at after comprehensively assessing Xu Jintang's strength.
But unexpectedly, Xu Jintang was able to break through the limits.
" Teacher Zhuang, shall I try again?" Xu Jintang shook his wrist and asked with a smile.
"No need." Zhuang Silin put her hands behind her back, turned to look at Yan Yuting, and said, "I've already stated that as long as Xu Jintang hits 800 jin, I'll let bygones be bygones. You two can go back to your teams."
"Squad leader, you're amazing!" Yan Yuting opened his arms and rushed over, hugging Xu Jintang tightly, his expression full of excitement.
Xu Jintang, struggling to breathe from the choking, quickly waved his hands, "Calm down, calm down."
Yan Yuting then released her, looking at her with eyes full of admiration.
Back with the team, Xu Jintang continued to stretch his wrists.
Actually, that punch she just threw didn't use her full strength.
After absorbing 10% of the Power of Dragon Blood last night, her physical strength is now comparable to that of Third Tier superhuman.
If you go all out, a single punch should be able to hit at least 1,500 pounds.
"You've all passed the strength test. But brute force alone won't win a match. Now, I'm going to assess your combat abilities." Zhuang Silin's expression turned serious again.
As soon as she finished speaking, several tall, slender students walked in chattering at the entrance of the training field.
Xu Jintang looked up.
There were five people in total, both men and women, all wearing Leikedasi school uniforms. Judging from their height and appearance, they were clearly older.
After the five people approached, Zhuang Silin smiled and said, "These five are your seniors from the third year. Their mental strength levels range from the lowest to the highest, which is the Fourth Tier Fifth Tier."
Zhuang Silin turned to the five people, "Come over here and introduce yourselves."
Yan Yuhang immediately stepped forward with a smile, striking a cool pose. "Hello, juniors. I'm Yan Yuhang, the class monitor of the third-year melee class. My current mental strength level is Fifth Tier, and my special ability is Wolverine Body Mutation."
Then, another tall girl walked over. "My name is Gu Nianwei, class monitor of the ranged attack class, mental strength level Fifth Tier, and my special ability is Fire Element Manipulation Technique. Also..." She smiled slightly, put one hand on her hip, and winked at Xu Jintang, "I've been staying up late these past few days to watch your support class's match-up livestream."
The other three were rather aloof and composed; they simply stated their names and mental strength levels.
After listening to everyone's stories, Xu Jintang felt a strange sense of unease.
" Teacher Zhuang, what brings these senior students here...?" she asked, looking up.
Zhuang Silin smiled and said, "Your second test is to withstand the attacks of these five people for one minute. If even one person is still standing on the platform within that minute, you pass."
Song Tianqi and the others were all dumbfounded, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Even the usually aloof Xue Zhongqi's expression twitched. "Teacher, the lowest level of their mental strength is Fourth Tier."
Zhuang Silin smiled. "Your team also has Fourth Tier contestants. Jiang Shiyi, are you confident you can pass the assessment?"
Jiang Shiyi pursed her lips and pondered for a while. After careful consideration, she looked up and replied, "I'm about 60% confident."
Zhuang Silin raised an eyebrow, probably not expecting her to be so confident, and continued to ask, "Where did you get this 60% confidence?"
Xu Jintang also turned to look over.
Jiang Shiyi calmly stated, "First of all, one minute isn't too long. If even one of us five doesn't fall, we'll consider it a success. Secondly, I'm also at Fourth Tier. I should be able to hold out for a while against my seniors."
"Finally..." Jiang Shiyi turned to Xu Jintang, "I guess my teammates also have some trump cards that are enough to compete with the senior students."
Zhuang Silin slightly curved her lips and looked at the others, "Very good, I'll give you ten minutes to discuss tactics. Once the time is up, the assessment will begin immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, a stopwatch appeared in her hand. After pressing the stopwatch, time began to tick.
"What should we do? The five of us combined aren't even a match for one of their Fifth Tier ability users." Song Tianqi was starting to get anxious.
"No rush," Xu Jintang said, calming everyone down. "When the senior students introduced themselves, they specifically mentioned their special abilities. This must be because Teacher Zhuang deliberately made things easier for us. So, we still have a chance to pass this test."
Xue Zhongqi slowly exhaled, took out a fan and quickly fanned himself. The cool breeze calmed him down a little. "Yes, I need to calm down."
Yan Yuting began to gather intelligence. "Of the five of them, only Senior Yan Yuhang and Gu Nianwei are at the Fifth Tier; the rest are at the Fourth Tier. They've already explained their abilities themselves, so we can use different tactics against them. Maybe we can really hold out for a minute."
"But the problem is, Teacher Zhuang only gave us ten minutes, which isn't enough time to discuss tactics." Song Tianqi said with a bitter face, looking like "this is simply impossible to accomplish."
Xu Jintang raised an index finger and shook it. "You've all fallen into a misconception. Teacher Zhuang's requirement is that we just need to last one minute, not that we have to defeat the other side."
"So..." Xue Zhongqi stopped fanning himself with his folding fan and turned to Xu Jintang, "What's your idea?"
Xu Jintang waved.
Everyone immediately leaned in to listen to the tactics.
Standing on the other side, Gu Nianwei nudged Yan Yuhang, "Look at those five, they're definitely secretly plotting tactics against us."
Yan Yuhang stretched and yawned. "Sigh, in the face of absolute strength, all tactics are meaningless."
"But you've heard about the support class's challenge, right? Both the melee and ranged attackers, who had absolute strength, lost in the end. What are your thoughts on this, Squad Leader Yan?" Gu Nianwei gestured with her hand as if she were holding a microphone and held it to Yan Yuhang's mouth.
Yan Yuhang was speechless for a few seconds, then changed his tone, "You're right, we can't underestimate them. We can't afford to hold back at all; we'll launch a full-scale attack."
Gu Nianwei hesitated for a moment, "Wouldn't that be too harsh?"
Zhuang Silin walked over from the side, looking at her with a surprised expression, "You two are also discussing tactics?"
"No, we're just thinking about whether or not to release the water later," Gu Nianwei replied.
Zhuang Silin smiled slightly, "I called you all over here to see how much potential they can be squeezed out of them under extreme conditions. You don't need to hold back later; those five aren't as fragile as you think."
"Understood, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Gu Nianwei gave a salute.
Yan Yuhang, standing to the side, looked up at the sky and sighed, "If only I had been born two years later, I could have represented the military academy in the league. Now I can only be a sparring partner for my juniors. I was born at the wrong time."
The Military Academy League didn't start until three years later.
And they will graduate from Leikedasi next year.
Gu Nianwei retorted speechlessly, "Give me a break! If I send you to represent the military academy in the league, you'll probably collapse from the pressure in your dorm the very next day."
Yan Yuhang's lips twitched. "That's true. It's definitely a lot of pressure for a first-year student to challenge third-year students."
