Chapter 8: 40,000 kilograms With One Punch!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yu’s thoughts returned to the present and he proceeded to test his strength.
In order to prevent the testing stone from being broken again, Lu Yu would use an augmentation skill every time to prevent it from breaking.
Lu Yu first activated the Furnace skill to test the effect of the new skill.
Burning his health vitality increased his strength by two times!
Lu Yu suddenly felt his body become unbearably hot, and his strength had increased by a great deal.
Lu Yu sunk his energy into his dantian and using the Crushing Punch, he launched a swift punch out to hit the testing stone.
The entire testing stone trembled slightly before settling down. On the monitoring device beside it read: 2686 kilograms!
As expected, with the support of the Furnace skill, his strength increased by two times. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
Lu Yu continued testing.
This time, he activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill.
With the Minor Achievement Stage of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, his inner strength skill could increase his external strength to a terrifying 16 times.
Lu Yu’s aura instantly rose several levels. The muscles and veins on his body bulged out, filled with terrifying strength.
Using Crushing Punch, Lu Yu shot one punch out, striking the testing stone.
......
The entire testing stone shook violently and trembled for a long time before settling down. Fortunately, it was not damaged.
On the monitoring device beside him, there was an extremely exaggerated number, 21,520 kilograms!
A punch of more than 20,000 kilograms meant that he had already reached the strength of a Martial Master!
Two days ago, Lu Yu was still an ordinary person who had fallen from the level of Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1.
After two days, Lu Yu’s punch strength was comparable to a high level Martial Master!
Lu Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to perform more tests.
This time, Lu Yu first invoked Furnace skill to burn his health vitality. With his body burning hot, his strength was doubled.
Following that, he activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill to operate concurrently, amplifying his external strength to alarming levels.
Suddenly, Lu Yu’s entire body swelled up into a small circle. His muscles bulged out in an exaggerated manner, filled with unimaginable strength.
Sensing the terrifying power within his body, Lu Yu activated Crushing Punch and launched a punch outwards.
Instantly, the entire testing stone trembled violently, and several cracks appeared on it. It was already damaged.
Lu Yu had once again broken the testing stone!
On the side of the testing stone the screen displayed: 43,104 kilograms!
When he saw this number, Lu Yu was shocked beyond words.
Over 40,000 kilograms in one punch. Was this his full-power strike at present?
More than 40,000 kilograms was a threshold for a junior Martial Master to cross the threshold to become an intermediate Martial Master.
A punch strength of 43,000 kilograms had already attained the strength of an Intermediate Martial Master!
This was the strength of an Intermediate Martial Master!
Intermediate Martial Masters were very highly honored. Not even one out of thousands of Martial Arts Warriors could become an Intermediate Martial Master.
Experts who had reached Intermediate Martial Master level were already extremely rare. They would be honored and treated with respect throughout the whole Federation and they would be fought over by various factions.
An Intermediate Martial Master was an indispensable powerful fighting force for any faction.
In fact, many factions had gradually become stronger because of the emergence of an Intermediate Martial Master.
And with this test, the results also confirmed Lu Yu’s speculation.
Although the enhancement provided by the Furnace skill was not as tremendous as the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, it was valuable as an ordinary skill. It was not an inner strength skill like the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill.
In this way, the Furnace skill would not clash with the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill. It could also be used concurrently, and its effects could overlap and multiply.
With the 2-fold increase of the Furnace skill and the original 16-fold increase of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill combined together, they gave Lu Yu an unbelievable 32-fold increase.
At his current strength of a Grade 8 Martial Arts Warrior, with one punch he straightaway surpassed a major level. That one punch unleashed the strength of an intermediate Martial Master!
After the test, Lu Yu was immensely satisfied.
If one punch was sufficient to reach the strength of an Intermediate Martial Master, the Federation Martial Arts Trial was no longer a problem for him.
After that, Lu Yu returned home to rest.
Early the next morning, many people in the neighborhood came out for their morning exercise.
Very soon, someone noticed the broken testing stone. Immediately, many people gathered around to look at it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the broken testing stone and the numbers on the monitoring device next to it.
“What’s going on? Why is the new testing stone broken again?”
“This testing stone can supposedly withstand the full-strength punch of a top Martial Master. How can it be damaged?”
“More than 40,000 kilograms in one punch. Isn’t that the strength of an Intermediate Martial Master? Is there an Intermediate Martial Master in our neighborhood?”
“That’s impossible. Every Intermediate Martial Master is famous. If there’s one in our neighborhood, it’s not possible that we haven’t heard of him!”
A few residents of the neighborhood were still in shock when they saw the couple from their earlier encounter walking past. They hurriedly called out to them.
“Young man, you said yesterday that you saw that old man hit the previous testing stone. Did he hit this one too?” A middle-aged man asked.
What had happened the day before had surprised them. But when they thought further on it, it was quite possible that a Martial Master was hiding in their district or an expert of the Martial Master level had passed by their district.
However, what happened today had undoubtedly shocked them.
Martial Masters were already experts. Intermediate Martial Masters were the true elites of humanity. They were the focus of attention wherever they went. It was impossible that they didn’t know that there was an Intermediate Martial Master in their district.
The two young lovers were a little confused and quickly took a look.
When they saw the cracked testing stone and the incredible numbers on the monitoring device beside it, indicating a punch force of over 40,000 kilograms, they were flabbergasted.
Initially, the two young lovers had insisted that Lu Yu had punched that result yesterday.
However, when they saw the number today, they also became suspicious.
He had punched out more than 10,000 kilograms yesterday, and now he had hit more than 40,000 kilograms today? That was too unbelievable.
“I don’t get it. I did see it yesterday, but yesterday it was over 10,000 kilograms. Why is the punch strength figure so exaggerated today?” The young man said doubtfully.
“That punch yesterday should have been from Grandpa Lu. It might not be Grandpa Lu today,” the woman also hazarded a guess.
The surrounding residents looked at one another and felt that it made sense.
The strength of an Intermediate Martial Master was simply too unbelievable.
However, there were also people making other guesses.
“Do you guys think that maybe, this figure really came from Old Lu’s punch? There has never been an expert in our neighborhood before, so it’s impossible for two experts to appear all of a sudden, right?”
“That’s not possible either. Yesterday, it was over 10,000 kilograms. Today, it has increased by several times. Who can develop his skills so fast?”
“What do you know? He must have been hiding his strength previously. Last night, he saw a new testing stone and went all out. He probably didn’t expect the testing stone was unable to withstand his punch. The upper limit is 40,000 kilograms.”
“In my opinion, it’s also possible that some Intermediate Martial Master passed by our district and tried out the testing stone.”
“That doesn’t seem right either. Intermediate Martial Masters are highly sought after in every faction. They have high-level testing stones in every faction. Why would they come to our tiny neighborhood for testing?”
“What if there is really such a powerful person in our neighborhood? And he’s an Intermediate Martial Master too?”
The group of residents analyzed the situation excitedly. They were shocked by this matter, but after discussing for a long time, they couldn’t reach any conclusion.
