silence.

A deathly silence.

One moment the examination hall was filled with discussions, the next it transformed from a vegetable market into a library.

The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It was eerily quiet.

Because everyone was stunned.

It felt as if every cell in my body had frozen into ice.

They completely lost their sense of smell.

They lost their ability to move.

They didn't die; they were simply stunned by He Xie's punch.

It's not a physical form of stupidity.

It's not a matter of being foolish in spirit.

He blasted away a punching power testing machine weighing thousands of kilograms with a single punch?

Did the shock knock down everyone within a hundred meters?

Is this the kind of punching power a high school student can deliver?

At this moment, everyone present was being overwhelmed by what they had just witnessed.

What struck them as suspicious was not He Xie as a person, but themselves.

—A casual, unremarkable punch sent the punching power testing machine flying?

I must be hallucinating.

—The sound of the punches was deafening?

I must be hallucinating.

—Did the heatwave generated during the boxing match knock down a large number of test takers?

That must be me... Holy crap! This is a bit hard to explain!

It's all true!!!

Soon, people gradually came to their senses.

Some of them got up, while others remained slumped on the ground.

But without exception.

They all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

Then he cried out in surprise.

"Holy crap! The punching power testing machine has been blown to bits!"

"Holy crap! This isn't scientific!"

"My God! Is there really a black flame dragon sealed inside this person's arm?"

"A transplant recipient! This person must be a transplant recipient!"

"No! He's not a transplant recipient! There's no trace of a transplant on his body at all!"

"Are you an idiot?! They had a very private part transplanted, how could you see it?"

"Awesome! Holy crap, awesome!"

"......"

At that moment, the entire examination hall erupted into chaos.

Everyone was discussing He Xie's background intensely.

They have accepted the fact that He Xie blasted the punching power testing machine away with one punch.

They then began to investigate the reasons behind it.

"Damn, is this my deskmate?"

Zhang Kaizi stared blankly at He Xie, feeling that he looked like a complete stranger.

Lin Chuchu, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

She knew He Xie was very powerful and suspected that his biological level was at least at the advanced second tier.

Otherwise, Brother Jie wouldn't be so afraid of him.

However, at this moment she realized that she had still greatly underestimated He Xie's strength.

He blasted the punching power testing machine away with a single punch.

It knocked down a large number of people.

Is this a high-level second-order creature?

Even a high-level ninth-tier creature would feel inferior to this!

On the other side, Wen Xiuwen covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

It's a ghost!

Is this still the same sickly person who couldn't even kill a chicken?

This is ridiculous! Even graduates from prestigious universities aren't this outrageous!

no!

Screw your best friend!

A man like this is someone you have to hold onto!

Hold on tight!

We absolutely cannot give it up!

Wen Xiuwen glanced at An Ruoli beside her, then at He Xie in front of her, and made this decision in her heart.

An Ruoli, standing beside her, was now completely pale and distraught.

She even became hysterical inside.

We lost?

Did I lose again?

But... why did I lose?

Why?

Even a high-level Tier 2 creature can't beat you?

Why is that?

Am I born to be dominated by you?

Why can't I be on top of you?

Why?!

I don't want to!

I don't want to be dominated by you forever!!!

An Ruoli was on the verge of a breakdown.

But she still tried her best to maintain her usual aloof persona.

One's public persona must not crumble.

Once it collapses, the Dao Heart will also shatter into pieces.

[The contrast value from all examinees in the examination room: +9373 + 8367 + 7363 + 9333 + 8241...]

[Contrast Value]:

[Contrast Value]:

......

[Contrast Value]:

......

Holy crap, that's awesome!

This is truly awesome!

He had just spent one million points of contrast value to exchange for immortal techniques, and in the blink of an eye, he had collected another one million points.

I'm fucking invincible!

He Xie was extremely excited at this moment.

He tried to calm his excited emotions and opened the task panel for a glance.

[Task: Develop the character designs for the two main characters.]

[Character design completion rate: 80%]

[Remaining time: one and a half hours.]

[Reward: One Zanpakuto.]

There's only 20% left to complete the task of perfectly crafting this chuunibyou (Chinese idiom) character.

Zanpakuto, here I come!

Thinking of this, He Xie couldn't care less about being excited.

He turned around and rushed towards the jump test area.

As he charged, he shouted at the top of his lungs with a childish grin, "I will lead the charge!"

[Character design completion rate: 85%]

Seeing this, the candidates in the punching power test area looked at each other.

They quickly got up and chased after them.

Some of the more eccentric ones even imitated He Xie, shouting "Demacia!" as they ran.

"......"

"Tap! Tap! Tap..."

And so, with a flurry of footsteps, more than 90% of the people in the examination hall rushed toward the speed test area.

Even many of the invigilators in the exam room followed along.

"Tongtong, wait for us!"

"Chuchu, let's go over there quickly."

"Ruoli, go and take a look quickly."

As soon as the voices fell, the students from Shanhai Middle School followed.

There was no way around it; He Xie's performance was simply too astonishing.

Everyone wanted to broaden their horizons by going back to the past.

......

Jump test area.

He Xie was ruthless and didn't talk much. After seeing his underlings follow him, he immediately went up to swipe his ID card.

"drop!"

"He Xie, candidate from Shanhai Middle School, your identity is correct, begin the test."

When the electronic prompt sounded, all the candidates in the jumping test area stopped taking the test.

All eyes turned to He Xie.

We eagerly await his incredible performance.

Yes, there are enough people.

It's time to experience the power of a honey trap.

Thinking about it, He Xie walked to the bounce sensor in front and stood there.

There was no fancy jumping technique whatsoever.

Some simply squat slightly, then tense their legs and exert force forcefully—

At the same time, he shouted in a very childish and immature way:

"Nine Heavens Thunder - Double Kick!"

[Character design completion rate: 90%]

The next moment—

"Bang!!!"

He Xie exerted too much force, kicking the floorboards so hard they shattered, sending shards of stone flying everywhere.

Immediately afterwards—

"Buzz!!!"

He was instantly launched into the air.

From the initial bowed shrimp posture, it gradually transformed into Superman's flying pose with his arms outstretched upwards.

"Buzz—"

"Weng—"

"Weng—"

Its speed was so great that it produced a series of ear-piercing explosions in the air.

Soon, a loud bang was heard!

He Xie jumped too high, his head smashed through the ceiling, his neck got stuck in the wall, and he was hanging in the air, teetering on the verge of falling.

"Holy crap, this is actually a person!"

"Awesome!!!"

"Thanks, my Superman, you're awesome!"

[The contrast value from everyone: +9272 +8252 +9167 +5261 +2926...]

[Contrast Value]:

......

[Contrast Value]:

......

[Contrast Value]:

......

"Cool!"

Suddenly, He Xie's excited shout came from the ceiling.

The next moment, a series of soft cracking sounds of gravel breaking were heard.

He Xie pulled his head out of the ceiling and fell freely from a height of more than 20 meters with his face covered in dust.

Approximately 2 seconds later—

"Thump!!!"

He Xie knelt on one knee with one hand, performing a dashing scene of a god descending to earth.

This caused many girls to scream and exclaim how handsome he was!

[The contrast value from everyone: +4325 +3724 +4782 +4212 +4687...]

Another wave of massive contrast values.

That was fucking awesome!

He Xie accepted the contrast values ​​from everyone and immediately got up and headed to the speed test area.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately followed.

Today, He Xie is the main character in the examination room.

Everyone said, "I'm not even taking the test today, I'm just watching you show off!"

......

Speed ​​test area.

On the 100-meter track.

He Xie didn't hesitate at all and went straight to swiping his ID card.

"drop!"

"He Xie, candidate from Shanhai Middle School, your identity is correct, begin the test."

"Who's there! Seven warriors, come and race me in the 100 meters!"

He Xie took the lead and stood on the track, turning back to shout to the army of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers behind him.

Soon, a series of strong, resounding, and somewhat childish responses came from behind.

"The will to charge into battle is one of certain death!"

"A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon!"

"As long as we live, the tower stands!"

"......"

After several shouts, the remaining seven tracks were instantly filled with people.

Among them were several familiar figures.

They are Xu Haolong, who punched 2200kg at the beginning; Zhang Kaizi, his arrogant deskmate; and a proctor in uniform.

Um? ? ?

Invigilator?

He Xie looked at the middle-aged man on the track next to his and was completely dumbfounded.

What the heck?!

Why are the proctors standing up too?

He was puzzled by this and couldn't help but look at the other person and ask, "Teacher, is it reasonable for you to take the test with us candidates?"

Invigilator: "That's reasonable."

He Xie: "Goodness, aren't you afraid of getting a tongue-lashing from your boss after the exam?"

Invigilator: "What are you afraid of? I'm the director of this city's gymnasium!"

He Xie: "Awesome!"

All the test takers: "Awesome! Awesome!"

He Xie secretly used a "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy" card on the director of the city gymnasium to peek at his biometric information panel.

Name: Zhang He

[Race]: Human

[Level]: Advanced Rank 9

[Skills]: None available

[Weakness]: Conventional

Only advanced level nine?

How can someone so weak become the director of the city gymnasium?

He's probably got connections.

He Xie thought to himself.

Soon, the starting gun fired for the 100-meter sprint.

"Bang!!!"

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the other seven people besides He Xie rushed out onto the track.

At the same time, He Xie raised his hand and delivered three heavy punches to his own chest.

"Bang!" x3.

Movement speed +1024%.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the onlookers on both sides of the track, he flew out like a bolt of lightning.

Then, with lightning speed, he placed his hands behind his back on both sides, mimicking the sprinting posture from Naruto, and shouted at the top of his lungs with a chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) expression as he ran:

"I'm going to be Hokage!!!"

[Character design completion rate: 95%]

"Buzz—"

A piercing whistling sound came through the air.

He Xie transformed into a streak of light, instantly overtaking the seven people in front of him, and even creating a terrifying gust of air that forcefully blew the seven people off the track.

Then, he crossed the finish line alone, turned around, and held up his index finger to the crowd, imitating Ryoma Echizen from Prince of Tennis, shaking his finger with a chuunibyou expression:

"You still have a long way to go."

[Character design completion rate: 100%]

[Ding-dong!]
