Chapter 366 - 362: The Terror of [Jin Feng]
Lin Qi was pleasantly surprised. Typically, the minimum Fist Power for any given Realm was calculated based on Martial Artists who specialized in speed.
An ordinary Martial Artist specializing in strength would have a Fist Power about a hundred kilograms higher than the minimum.
A top-level genius specializing in strength might exceed it by five or six hundred kilograms.
Geniuses with Innate Divine Strength, like the Unawakened Huo Wanyang and Wei Peng, could surpass the minimum Fist Power by over a thousand kilograms.
And an SS-level genius like Victor could even exceed it by nearly 2,000 kilograms.
But he himself possessed a top-level Talent. By his calculations, when he broke through to the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs, his Fist Power would surpass the minimum by at least 3,000 kilograms!
But he hadn’t even broken through yet, and his Fist Power had already reached 13,000 kilograms.
So, once he did break through, his Fist Power would increase dramatically again. Surpassing the minimum by over 4,000 kilograms would be no problem at all.
’Let’s try it again with [Jin Feng]!’
Lin Qi released [Jin Feng]. Golden patterns appeared on his skin, and a brilliant golden light burst from his body.
An endless stream of power surged from within him. He felt more powerful than ever before.
It was just like activating his Little Divine Power, [Vajra Transformation]. His physical attributes skyrocketed, and it felt as if he could shatter the very space around him.
THUMP-THUMP!!
His heart beat powerfully. His blood churned like rolling thunder, rushing to every corner of his body.
His muscles bulged, and his entire body was shrouded in a Golden Sharpness!
He clenched his fist again. The golden patterns glowed dazzlingly, making his body look like a Divine Weapon.
WHOOSH!!
He threw his punch, cutting through the air like a sharp blade. The terrifying force of it formed a gale that instantly tore the air apart.
BANG!!
His fist once again slammed into the red Punching Target. The air cracked, and an invisible shockwave spread outwards.
A violent wind raged wildly within the Martial Arts Room.
BOOM!
Before Lin Qi’s eyes, the red Punching Target shook violently again, and in the next instant, it suddenly exploded!
He instantly shot backward, retreating into a corner.
The special material wrapping the Punching Target’s exterior exploded, and its fragments drifted through the Martial Arts Room.
BZZT! BZZT!
The metal device inside the Punching Target was completely wrecked, its parts scattering across the floor and emitting sparks.
BEEP!!
The electronic screen filled with garbled text and died completely.
Lin Qi was startled. ’I blew up the Punch Force Tester?’
’So what exactly is my Fist Power right now?’
"Little Chan, search for the maximum force a Punch Force Tester can withstand!"
"Yes, Master!"
Little Chan, dressed in black, nodded and quickly searched the data in her mind.
"Master, the one you are currently using is the S1-series Punch Force Tester produced by the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo. It costs 50,000 Xia Country Coins!"
"It can withstand a maximum of 20,000 kilograms, or 20 tons of Fist Power!"
Lin Qi nodded, looking at the wrecked Punch Force Tester before him. ’This means my Fist Power has already surpassed 20,000 kilograms.’
’It exceeded the maximum limit the Punch Force Tester could handle.’
’By activating [Jin Feng], my strength increased dramatically, allowing me to punch with over 20,000 kilograms of force.’
’That’s an increase of at least 1.5 times my original strength, maybe even close to double.’
He was secretly shocked. A Fist Power of 20,000 kilograms—that was already the minimum for a Sixth Realm Martial Artist.
’In other words, my current strength is already comparable to a Sixth Realm Martial Artist.’
’I already possess the Combat Power of a Sixth Realm Martial Artist!’
Lin Qi was astonished. Just by awakening a Special Ability, he had gained the power to fight across two whole Realms.
’This Special Power is too terrifying.’
He clenched his fists, still feeling the endless power coursing through his body.
’Special Power is so much stronger than the Little Divine Power, [Vajra Transformation]. After all, the Little Divine Power only lasts for less than three minutes.’
’But a Special Ability can be used at any time, even though it’s also very draining.’
’But I feel like I could fight at high intensity for several hours without any problem.’
He looked at his reflection in the mirror. He exuded a terrifying might—unyielding, sharp, and powerful, like a Celestial God who had descended.
It suddenly occurred to him that even if awakening a Special Ability granted someone immense strength, it would be nothing compared to his own.
’Even if Xiang Long had the same Qi and Blood Value as me and also used [Jin Feng], he could never produce a Fist Power of 20,000 kilograms.’
Lin Qi’s mind raced. ’For a so-called Special Ability, there isn’t much difference in its effect among those who awaken it.’
’The Combat Power one can unleash depends entirely on the user’s own Foundation.’
’For example, with the same Special Ability [Jin Feng], everyone might get a 1.5x strength multiplier.’
’But the gap between me and Xiang Long is enormous.’
’This must be why some people who awaken Thunder are S-class geniuses, while Yu Zhuoran is an SS-level genius.’
’And some are even SSS-level geniuses.’
After thinking it over for a moment, Lin Qi retracted his Special Ability. He didn’t feel much of a drain on his stamina.
’Now that I’ve Awakened, I should find a chance to tell Master Yue and Dean Liu. I can get upgraded directly from an S-class to an SS-level genius.’
At the same time, Lin Qi also thought of the Awakening Fruit.
’I wonder if I’ll get another chance to fleece that sheep.’
...
A few minutes later, Lin Qi opened the door to the Martial Arts Room and found his parents, Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, standing at the entrance.
"Dad, Mom, why are you standing here at the door?"
His mother, Fang Huiyi, smiled.
"Little Qi, you’ve been in there for almost seven hours. We were getting a little worried."
But Lin Zhen looked at the Lin Qi before him and felt that something was off.
His son, Lin Qi, was exuding waves of Sharpness that were chilling to the bone. At the same time, he had also become even more handsome.
He didn’t pay it too much mind, just assuming Lin Qi had made another breakthrough in his Martial Arts.
But when he saw the chaos inside the Martial Arts Room, especially the Punch Force Tester that had been reduced to a pile of scrap metal, he was stunned.
"What... what happened here?"
Lin Qi smiled. "I accidentally broke the Punch Force Tester. I’ve already ordered a new one."
"You broke the Punch Force Tester?"
Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
If he remembered correctly, he had heard from the property management that the Punch Force Tester in the Martial Arts Room could withstand 20,000 kilograms of Fist Power!
And his son, Lin Qi, had just blown it up?
’Just how strong is my son now?’
For a moment, he felt as if the world had become completely unfamiliar.
...
「Imperial Capital, Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy」
It was currently summer vacation, so all the students and most of the teachers had gone home.
The entire campus seemed unusually deserted, with only a few staff members and intelligent robots around.
Before the Tenth Academy’s Red Cloud Building, which soared into the clouds like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, more than twenty figures were gathered in the spacious plaza.
Vice-Principal Xu Wenji stood in the center of the crowd, dressed in a red and white robe.
The others stood half a step behind him in a line. They were men and women of various postures, all wearing robes embroidered with different academy emblems.
Each of them exuded a powerful aura; they were all High Realm Martial Artists.
They were the leaders of the Nine Great Academies—either vice-deans or deans. Dean Liu was also among them.
This group of leaders, a rare sight elsewhere, was gathered together now, occasionally glancing up at the sky as if waiting for something.
