Chapter 122: Chapter 32: The Explosion Shocks the Entire Audience!
Editor: Noodletown Translations “`
Mu Fan was number 697, with a hundred people behind him, but it was obvious that neither the academy’s observers nor the military personnel believed any stronger candidates would appear.
The existence of an 18th level under the age of 20 was already considered lucky to find at an examination site in the entire Planet Purple Jade, let alone one that had already appeared.
Now people were losing interest, and there was little attention paid to the next ten people.
Zhang Yuanren smiled as he looked in the direction of the examiners.
He was confident that they would see his strength.
He skillfully handled the flattery from those around him, who had various motives.
As the eldest son of the Zhang family, dealing with such matters was second nature.
Participating in this exam wasn’t only due to family arrangements but also his own ambition.
With strength, why hide it?
Hmph, that’s the behavior of the weak.
The Zhang family has had heroes for three generations!
“Since you have the strength, why hide it?”
Mu Fan’s lips curled up.
The battles to the death on Loga Star and the numerous brushes with death were all for this one opportunity.
Now…the opportunity had arrived.
Glancing around, there was indeed little attention on them right now, except for the diligent military personnel.
The Lieutenant, after Mu Fan and the others entered the arena, was no longer affected by the earlier tests and instead watched the group like a wolf.
A qualified soldier should not let others sway their emotions.
The Lieutenant stood straight in the field and shouted.
“Strength test begins.”
The group solemnly raised their arms, beginning to gather their strength, except for Mu Fan.
Yes, except for Mu Fan.
Mu Fan stood in front of the finely crafted 2A-level strength testing apparatus, looking at the familiar design, feeling the anticipation that surrounded him, his heart surging.
Just a month ago, he couldn’t even eat enough, and he had to struggle desperately to make money.
A month ago, he hadn’t known Black, and a month ago, he never imagined the world outside Loga Star could be so exciting!
He thought of Black, which changed his destiny.
He thought of his silhouette leaning against the wall each night, gazing at the starry sky, the countless Star Thieves he had killed with his own hands, and the nightmare-like blood and blackness that swept across the galaxy.
He thought of the seven years he had walked alone!
Now, he stood on the stage of his dreams, having waited for this day!
Mu Fan’s spirit was stirred, and his fists made a creaking sound.
Who among you knows the effort I put in to stand here, or the dreams I never let die over the years!
The 17-year-old Mu Fan stood quietly in the arena, tears welling up.
“What are you doing, candidate over there!
Hurry up and test.” An observer noticed the situation and sternly reminded him.
They had no interest in wasting time on useless people.
Mu Fan’s eyes were red as he stood there, his head tilted slightly, watching the examiners.
What kind of gaze was that!
The boy’s wolf-like eyes, thin and tightly pressed lips, and now hot tears slipping from Mu Fan’s eyes, just staring straight back at the outspoken examiner from Bonar Joint College.
“Get on with the test or get off!” The observer saw Mu Fan’s expression.
He had seen many like him who would go to any length for grades.
Other candidates outside also noticed the figure of number 697, fists clenched standing still, but they couldn’t see Mu Fan’s expression, only his immovable stubborn silhouette.
Those outside found it somewhat amusing.
Just a little amusing, this was a place where the fittest survived.
If you couldn’t make it, you should leave, just like those taken away forcefully before.
Other observers stared at this kid, while the Lieutenant, noticing the situation, prepared to walk over.
Mu Fan suddenly grinned at the observer, his face showing a free and easy smile, tears rolling from the corners of his eyes but soon stopping.
Then he suddenly withdrew his smile, moving his right foot backward on the ground, stopping, and crouching slightly with the left leg.
His left hand aimed loosely, while his right hand slowly drew back, maintaining a forward stance like he was about to punch.
The Lieutenant stopped moving as long as the test proceeded normally.
Hmph, lunatic.
The observer from Bonar College smirked disinterestedly, causing the surrounding observers to laugh.
No!
The Lieutenant’s eye narrowed.
Suddenly, he felt his entire body’s hair standing on end!
What had he seen?
That kid’s right arm’s muscles started to twitch mysteriously, the veins entwined with the bulging muscles moving erratically.
Mu Fan wore only a simple T-shirt, and the bizarre change on his partially exposed arm was all too clear to the nearby Lieutenant.
What kind of muscle strength was this to cause such a drastic change!
His momentum continued to rise!
What was going on?
On the neighboring fields, the Martial Path Masters almost simultaneously opened their eyes and looked in this direction.
Suddenly, a flame appeared in their spiritual perception, bright and dazzling.
The blazing Flame of Fighting Will!
Which Martial Path Master inspired the Flame of Fighting Will?
The results for the other nine were already out.
“2658KG”
“2409KG”
“2844KG”
…
One remained, number 697.
Why hadn’t he punched yet?
Nobody knew that Mu Fan’s vision was already entirely blood-red at the moment.
Dense redness covered his sight, now focused only on the target before him, while his whole body’s cells violently unleashed a long-concealed vast energy.
Mu Fan could clearly feel his muscle fibers swelling, tearing, healing, then swelling, and tearing again…
Then a familiar immense power emerged from the depths of his body.
Now, Mu Fan’s right arm slowly retracted to the utmost, his left palm, veined and pulsing, began to tremble erratically.
Huff!
Ah!
Mu Fan could no longer restrain the lava-like heat within his body, striking out fiercely with a punch trailing afterimages.
Those Martial Path Masters finally locked their hawk-like gaze onto the boy in the T-shirt and saw the vanishing fist.
Boom!
When the shadow heavily fell on the target of the strength testing apparatus for half a second, a reverberating muffled sound echoed throughout the area.
The Bonar observer who was laughing suddenly resembled a rooster with its neck squeezed, while another observer holding a water cup shattered it unknowingly.
The Dingchuan Academy assistant, hiding on the side, gaped, unable to close his mouth.
What had he seen?
He rubbed his eyes but hadn’t been mistaken.
Wham!
The whole audience erupted, and the Lieutenant’s palms were sweaty.
He clearly saw the half-meter-thick target of the strength testing apparatus dent inward from the strike.
What was most terrifying was the number displayed on the screen.
5879KG!
It broke through the 20th level of strength!
Completely broke through the 20th level of strength!!!
Incredibly close to the 21st level of strength!!
Zhang Yuanren’s face, once wearing a calm smile, froze, and the ten Martial Path Masters looked at the boy with shaking shoulders as if he were a monster.
Everyone present stared incredulously at the screen, their now-heated gaze converging on that slender figure.
Hehehe…
Shoulders shaking, Mu Fan gasped, suddenly raised his head, and clenched his fists.
“Ah!” A long-suppressed roar burst from his throat.
Did you all…
See it?
