Chapter 6

Tian Xiangdong's 7-point strength made Zhou Wen slightly surprised.

The strength tester's value and the strength value in the mobile game had a slight discrepancy, but it wasn't too much, and they could basically be considered the same unit.

Before Zhou Wen obtained the mysterious phone, he also only had 7 points of strength.

"It's your turn." Tian Xiangdong stepped aside and looked at Zhou Wen, saying.

Zhou Wen walked to the strength tester, and the gazes of Tian Xiangdong and the other two fell on him. They all wanted to know how much real strength this former first genius of Guide High School still had.

Yu Qiubai in the energy chamber also wanted to know how much strength Zhou Wen still had after more than a month of decadence.

Although strength doesn't degenerate as quickly as practical combat reaction skills, having strength is one thing, and exerting it is another.

The technique of exerting strength requires long-term practice to perfectly unleash one's strength. Over time, the technique becomes rusty, and even if the body still has the strength, it's hard to fully unleash it.

Zhou Wen stood in front of the pressure plate, assuming the stance of a one-inch punch. The one-inch punch is not an energy technique but a common fighting skill, one of the regular teaching contents in school.

However, the one-inch punch is easy to learn but hard to master. To unleash the maximum strength in the shortest distance requires a lot of hard practice to achieve. Moreover, the one-inch punch has a short range and lacks the elegant and cool posture, so most students prefer to practice those techniques that are effective and look powerful.

Of course, more students choose to practice weapon skills, as the killing power of weapons in actual combat is much higher than that of fists and feet.

Seeing Zhou Wen's fist almost touching the pressure plate, Fang Ruoxi and the others realized that Zhou Wen was going to use the one-inch punch.

Tian Xiangdong pursed his lips and said, "The explosive power of the one-inch punch is indeed strong, but the technique of exerting strength is not easy to practice. It's hard to master without years of hard training. I hope Zhou Wen doesn't end up making a fool of himself."

Although Tian Xiangdong's words were not pleasant, Yu Qiubai somewhat agreed with his statement. The one-inch punch is not easy to practice, and Zhou Wen seemed to have practiced it little in the past. Recently, he had been decadent and obsessed with the game. Using the one-inch punch for the strength test at this time might even make his test score worse.

Bang!

While the four were thinking, they saw Zhou Wen's fist tremble extremely fast. The speed of the punch was so fast that if it weren't for the explosive sound from the pressure plate, they would have thought they were seeing things, as if Zhou Wen's fist hadn't moved at all.

The eight eyes of the four people quickly looked at the screen, wanting to know how much strength Zhou Wen's punch could generate.

"Too short a distance!" Tian Xiangdong, Fang Ruoxi, and Li Zhi all had the same thought.

"The distance of his punch was really too short. Although the one-inch punch is about unleashing the strongest power in the shortest distance, it's hard to exert strength if the distance is too short. It's like how a person needs to squat to jump higher, and the arm needs to pull back to punch more powerfully. The one-inch punch goes against this, and only true one-inch punch experts can unleash full power in such a short distance..." Yu Qiubai thought more.

However, when they saw the numbers on the screen, they all widened their eyes.

The numbers lit up one after another, quickly reaching 10. Zhou Wen's one-inch punch actually generated 10 points of strength.

"10! It's actually 10! How is this possible?" Yu Qiubai was both surprised and delighted.

Yu Qiubai, who had been teaching for many years, knew very well how terrifying it was for a high school student to generate 10 points of strength without using an energy technique.

Even with strength crystals, it's hard for ordinary students to reach such a level during high school, as the enhancement of ordinary strength crystals is limited. After strength exceeds 7, using ordinary strength crystals is almost useless.

Unless there are extremely high-quality strength crystals, which can further increase strength, otherwise, one can only practice energy techniques to continuously temper the body and slowly increase strength.

But that is really too difficult. Before evolving to the Legendary level, ordinary humans find it hard to reach 10 points of strength. Most humans have only 7 or 8 points of strength before reaching the Legendary level.

Zhou Wen was clearly still at the Mortal level, yet he could purely use his physical strength to generate 10 points of strength. This was rare in the entire alliance, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say one in a million.

"Could it be that Zhou Wen didn't give up on himself? Could it be that he has been sleeping in class because he has been practicing too hard?" The more Yu Qiubai thought, the more he believed it was true. He looked at Zhou Wen with a mix of approval, affection, and even more relief: "It must be so. The old principal had good judgment, and I misunderstood him. 10 points of strength at the Mortal level, in Guide City, no one can match him. Even among high school students in the entire Earth Federation, he is top-notch... What a good child... He must have suffered a lot..."

The more Yu Qiubai thought, the more he found Zhou Wen appealing. He believed that Zhou Wen not only had great talent but also an excellent character. After losing to An Jing, Zhou Wen had endured a lot of criticism without defending himself and had managed to cultivate to such a level in such a short time. Such character and talent are rare among high school students.

"Is this fake? Generating 10 points of strength without using an energy technique? Could this guy be practicing strength at home every day?" Tian Xiangdong couldn't help but swallow hard. Generating 10 points of strength at the Mortal level was really scary, and such a person was rare in a small city like Guide City.

Li Zhi and Fang Ruoxi also looked at Zhou Wen with strange expressions. Although Fang Ruoxi had always believed that Zhou Wen was not a person who would give up, and that he must have been practicing in private, she didn't expect him to have improved his strength to such a level.

"It seems there is still some discrepancy between the strength tester's data and the game. In the game, my strength limit is 9, but in reality, it's 10." Zhou Wen thought to himself.

"Generating 10 points of strength, worthy of being called the first genius of Guide High School. But if you think you can win me with this, you're wrong." Tian Xiangdong said, looking at Zhou Wen.

Seeing Zhou Wen's test result, Tian Xiangdong was willing to let Zhou Wen join their team.

Although Tian Xiangdong could generate more than 10 points of strength with his lightning fist, it required the consumption of energy. With his current energy level, he could only generate one punch in a short time and couldn't fight for a long time.

Zhou Wen, on the other hand, had 10 points of real strength and could fight for a longer time, which was very helpful to the team, even more so than his lightning fist.

Moreover, Zhou Wen's one-inch punch showed that he hadn't really fallen into decadence and had been secretly practicing hard, so there was no issue of being rusty.

However, Tian Xiangdong was unwilling to admit defeat and still planned to win against Zhou Wen first, then generously indicate that he could accept him into the team.
