章節 26: Physique Test
If Gu Yue was said to have been the Soul Master with the highest spiritual power at her age, it was now changed to Gloxinia!
After all, even if they were in the same realm, a difference of 200 was still as big as heaven and earth!
Silence. The room was enveloped by silence.
After a few more seconds, the one who broke the silence was Wu Zhangkong, who had returned to his usual stoic expression. "Alright then.. You guys are truly monstrous. But, a Soul Master doesn't just rely on spiritual energy. This time we'll do a physical strength test. Follow me."
The order for the strength test was also very peculiar. The first one up was Gu Yue.
Similar to when she tested her powerful spiritual power, Gu Yue's strength once again blinded everyone.
The strength test simply measured the power of one's punch, and it didn't measure anything like carrying capacity or how much stress their bodies could undergo.
After all, only attack power held any meaning to Soul Masters.
Bang! Left fist, 115 kilograms.
'D, damn!' Xie Xie nearly fell flat on his butt. 'Isn't, isn't she an elementalist Soul Master? Isn't she just nine years old? How can she have 115 kilograms of strength?'
Gloxinia's reactionn was similar to Xie Xie's aswell. The reason being that whenever he used the Head Key to double check facts from his memory, he would usually skip straight to the memories he had of the wiki, not the novel.
So, when he saw Gu Yue's strength, he was also surprised as he expected her to have at most 70 kilograms of strength!
As Gu Yue turned her head, she shot a cold glance at Xie Xie, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Xie Xie swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly averted his gaze. This was his first time finding out that Gu Yue's strength was actually so frightening!
Bang! Right fist, 143 kilograms.
Xie Xie practically had tears streaming down their cheeks now. 'Can't she give us just a little bit of face? Is she even a girl? Isn't she actually a female T-Rex!?'
A trace of surprise flashed through Wu Zhangkong's eyes as he announced, "Next, Gloxinia."
Bang! Left fist, 61 kilograms.
Bang! Right fist, 69 kilograms.
He was able to attain these results because although his strength is said to be lower than the average 9 year old's in his status screen, that's only relative to what a 9 year old at the same realm as him would have.
Now, don't compare his results with the others in Class Zero, since it is after all a class of elites who can fight across realms.
"Xie Xie!"
Bang! Left fist, 153 kilograms.
Bang! Right fist, 164 kilograms.
Xie Xie wiped away his sweat as he relaxed and let out a deep breath. At the very least, he was physically a bit stronger than Gu Yue. Using his Agility, he managed to speed up his punches to give them a bit more strength than usual. Not only that but both his martial soul's were related to dragons, which gave him a physical boost.
"Tang Wulin."
Wu Zhangkong observed Tang Wulin with a steady gaze. Naturally, he had also arranged the students in this test according to his estimates, from lowest to highest. It was just that Gu Yue's strength had been outside of his expectations.
Tang Wulin walked over to the strength test machine with bright eyes and an intense desire to know just what level his power had reached after absorbing the essence of the first seal.
His hands subconsciously clenched into a tight fist, popping sounds emitting from his entire skeleton. The aura of the Golden Dragon King appeared, causing a slight change in Gu Yue's expression.
He hadn't even made a move yet, but his oppressive aura already differentiated him from the previous students.
Xie Xie's muscles began to twitch as he thought to himself, 'It won't be that high. It won't be that high. It won't be that high…'
Bang! Left fist, 1156 kilograms.
Bang! Right fist, 1348 kilograms.
A rumble resounded throughout the room, stunning the other three students.
Even though they knew Tang Wulin was very strong, they had never expected him to be this strong.
Even Gloxinia who knew his strength was surprised. After all, reading about a 9 year old with over 1000 kiilograms of strength is a lot different than actually seeing it in front of your eyes..
"Is… Is he even a human?" Xie Xie muttered in shock.
Wu Zhangkong didn't let Tang Wulin return, rather, he coldly instructed, "Once more with your right hand covered in the scales."
"Oh." Tang Wulin raised his right arm as a golden light appeared, covering his arm with a layer of golden scales.
As the Golden Dragon King's oppressive aura emerged, Xie Xie subconsciously retreated back a step as his martial souls began to tremble in fear, and perhaps even submission toward Tang Wulin.
Bang! 2,700 kilograms.
Numbness. Xie Xie's entire body was numb now.
Everyone else would already be impressed when the total strength of two arms was over one thousand kilograms. Yet, for this guy, one arm already had over two thousand kilograms of strength!
When this number appeared, everyone, including Tang Wulin, was fired up. This number was truly too monstrous!
'No wonder he could stop my Basquias for a bit during the fight.. He had over 2000 kilograms of force!'
"Test your dragon claw now," Wu Zhangkong said with a wooden expression.
"Oh!" Tang Wulin wanted to try it too. After raising his right fist, however, he lowered it and asked Wu Zhangkong, "Teacher Wu, if I break the machine, do I need to pay for it?"
Wu Zhangkong wrinkled his brows. "No. This machine can bear up to five thousand kilograms of strength. Even if you somehow manage to break it, you won't need to pay."
"Okay!"
A golden light quietly filled Tang Wulin's eyes, turning his pupils into slits while a tyrannical aura burst forth from his body.
Xie Xie was overwhelmed with shock. He knew that under the suppression of Tang Wulin's tyrannical aura, he could only exert, at most, half of his strength. And even if he wasn't opposing Tang Wulin, the suppression he felt was still too much.
Tang Wulin's hands began to grow, his joints becoming thick and solid as his hand transformed into the Golden Dragon Claw.
That dazzling Golden Dragon Claw was covered in fragmented scales while the three inch claws were as smooth and glossy as a mirror.
Honglong, kacha!
A number flashed on the screen, but not a moment later, the place on the machine where Tang Wulin had punched it exploded into bits of metal fragments, leaving only a hole behind.
This was the effect of the Golden Dragon Claw's 'crushing.'
It really did break…
Then just how strong was he?
Having just witnessed Tang Wulin absolutely destroy the strength testing machine, two students were completely in shock and couldn't even recall the number that had briefly flashed on the screen.
Only Wu Zhangkong and Gloxinia had been able to catch the number.
Wu Zhangkong recorded it into his book, silently writing down '3998 kilograms'.
Even the steady and ice-cold Wu Zhangkong couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva somewhat uncomfortably.
Xie Xie felt his legs ache, but at the same time, he no longer felt that the condition his legs were in was that bad anymore. If he wasn't facing Gloxinia but Tang Wulin instead, would his legs be in even worse condition than now?
"Next, reaction speed test."
Different from expected, Gloxinia had the best reaction speed. What was surprising, however, was that it wasn't Gu Yue in second place, but Tang Wulin. Following Tang Wulin in third place was actually Xie Xie, leaving Gu Yue in fourth place.
Now, these results mostly stem from both their physical strength and spiritual energy, as physique does increase reaction speed, though a bit less than the increase spiritual energy gives.
After seeing the results of this test, Xie Xie's self-doubt only grew greater and greater.
In addition to reaction speed, they continued to test all aspects of the body. Number one was Tang Wulin, followed closely by Gu Yue.
Surprisingly, any of the tests that had to do with nerves or brain functions, Gloxinia was the best at or close to the best at!
"The testing is finished now. Today's tests were primarily on your body's abilities and doesn't represent everything. Martial souls are still crucial to Soul Masters, so some students shouldn't be discouraged. Now, class dismissed. Tang Wulin and Gloxinia, follow me." Wu Zhangkong gracefully walked away with Tang Wulin and Gloxinia in tow.

Author's Note: For the stats that were shown in last chapter, the averages are with people in the same realm as him, even if another 9 year old soul elder doesnt exist, he is compared to what they would have if they did exist.
Also, Strength in his stats is basically Physique so it will now be changed to that from this chapter.
Finally, I am watching the new spider man movie tomorrow w/ some friends... Is it any good? (no spoilers pls.)
Thank you all for so many collections and power stones!
