Chapter 16: One Punch Equaled 150,000 kilograms
Under everyone’s unwavering gaze, the figures on the instrument panel jumped wildly. After passing the 10,000 range, there was still no sign of the figures stopping. Soon, it exceeded 90,000 and crossed into the 100,000 range. 110,000, 120,000… With every upward jump in the figures, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. Finally, the instrument panel stopped changing and the figures came to a stop at a very ridiculous number. 158,000 kilograms! Everyone nearby was instantly shocked. How was this even a Martial Master? This was a Great Martial Master level! Breaking through the 100,000 kilograms threshold in one punch meant he had already broken through to the Great Martial Master level! Great Martial Masters were considered the true elites of this world. In the army, Great Martial Masters could easily become officers with their evolution level. In school, a Great Martial Master was at least a school director. In a dojo, a Great Martial Master was at least a deputy dojo master. Great Martial Masters were already considered leaders in society! Immediately, the people around them began debating heatedly in great surprise. “He’s so strong! I didn’t expect him to be a Great Martial Master!” “Earlier these people were wondering if he was truly a Martial Master. In the end, it turns out he was really not a Martial Master, but a Great Martial Master!” “This smack in the face is too ruthless. The City Lord’s Advisor and the East End Dojo’s Deputy Dojo Master were all badly mistaken.” “Great Martial Masters are simply too strong!” “The old man is awesome! He’s a Great Martial Master!” “…” At this moment, Wang Kang, the restaurant owner of the Resplendent East Restaurant, was overwhelmed with regret when he witnessed what happened. He had thought that Lu Yu wasn’t a Martial Master based simply on hearsay, so he had come rushing out to challenge him. However, the test results now showed that he was actually a Great Martial Master! Instantly, Wang Kang felt like dying inwardly. A Martial Master causing trouble for him was already bad enough. Now if a Great Martial Master came to cause trouble for him, wouldn’t he be doomed? The more Wang Kang thought about it, the more regretful he felt. He quickly said to the waiter beside him, “Quick, go and prepare some precious dishes, then send it over later as an apology!” The waiter was also astonished. He had never imagined that the person he had just served was an Honorable Great Martial Master! “Yes, yes, yes,” the waiter replied hurriedly and immediately rushed off to make preparations. At this moment, standing in the midst of all the commotion, Lu Yu was quite satisfied with the figures displayed on the instrument panel right before him. One punch of 150,000 kilograms showed that his strength had indeed increased by a lot. That wild bluefin tuna was really not bad. It could improve his strength by so much! And Lu Yu was well aware that this wasn’t his maximum limit yet. He hadn’t used his full strength just now, so the amplification of the Critical Hit Enhancement was not likely to have been maximized. However, simply this level was more than enough. On the other side, the City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng’s expression turned really awful. Initially, he had been convinced that Lu Yu wasn’t a Martial Master and was only a Martial Arts Warrior. That was why he had mobilized such a big group of people to come here to test him on the spot. He originally wanted to expose Lu Yu in front of everyone, then punish him and arrest him. The end result was totally unexpected. After the test, it was proven that the other guy had not only reached the level of a Martial Master, but he actually surpassed it and had even reached the level of a Great Martial Master. This was truly a big slap to his face. It was extremely humiliating for him. Although the people around him were in awe of his authority and didn’t dare say anything in front of everyone, they were already secretly gossiping about him as the City Lord’s Advisor. Without a doubt, they were all thinking that he was not very capable as the City Lord’s Advisor and didn’t have good judgment of people. On the other hand, the Deputy Dojo Master Dai Chao, who was very hot-tempered by nature, could not take it anymore. He shouted angrily, “Fake, fake, this result is impossible, it must be fake!” On hearing Dai Chao’s words, the people around all quieted down and looked at him with confusion. A passerby could not help but ask curiously, “Deputy Dojo Master Dai, isn’t this the latest testing device? The City Lord’s Advisor had personally checked it just now and confirmed that there was no problem. How could the results be fake?” “That’s right. Are you saying that there’s a problem with the City Lord’s Advisor’s inspection as well?” “How can this be fake? We all saw the test process with our own eyes. Logically, there shouldn’t be any problem!” The people around him started to question him. They could not understand why Dai Chao was still shouting that there was something wrong with the test results at this point At this time, Lu Yu also laughed scornfully. He looked at Dai Chao and said, “Deputy Dojo Master Dai, then you tell me, at this time, how can the test results be faked?” Dai Chao pointed at Lu Yu angrily and said, “Don’t think I don’t know! The City Lord’s Advisor’s inspection was definitely fine. The testing equipment is also fine. But after the Advisor completed his inspection, you went to check it again. You must have done something to the testing equipment at that point!” The surrounding people nodded slightly when they heard this. They all felt that it was possible. After all, it was indeed Lu Yu who had checked the equipment again after the City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng, had completed his inspection. Dai Chao sneered and continued, “You, Lu Yu, are way too brazen. You have total disregard for us. You not only cheated in front of me, in front of the City Lord’s Advisor but also in front of so many people! A year ago, you were someone who couldn’t even keep your title of a Martial Arts Warrior. Now one year later, it is not possible that you can reach the Martial Master level, let alone a Great Martial Master!” When the people around heard this, they were all shocked. “What? A year ago, he was only a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior. He was on the verge of losing his title as a Martial Arts Warrior?” “Even those geniuses with all kinds of resources can only improve from Grade 1 to 6 or 7 in a year at most. It’s impossible for them to become Martial Masters, let alone Great Martial Masters!” “But that’s not impossible either. There are some capable people who can advance 1 major realm every year, and there are also those who have experienced some fortuitous encounters and jumped 2 major realms. It’s just that there are very, very few of them.” “It seems that this person might have cheated after all. It’s impossible for him to advance from a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior to a Great Martial Master in one year!” “He’s really bold. He actually cheated in front of the deputy dojo master and the City Lord’s Advisor. This person is going to face some serious consequences.” “…” At this time, Lu Yu was also sneering, thinking that all these people were really interesting. He then asked in a chilly tone, “How interesting. No matter how I perform in the test, you all say that my results are problematic and that I am cheating. And it’s all based simply on what you guys say?” The City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this time. “There was indeed something wrong with your results just now. It’s too strange, so it doesn’t count. How about this? Deputy Dojo Master Dai Chao, if I remember correctly, your ability is that of an Advance Martial Master, right? The two of you are only separated by 2 levels in your abilities, so you two can fight here. As long as you can defeat him, we will acknowledge your results. If not, it means that you cheated in your previous results. We will send you to prison!” Qin Cheng looked at Lu Yu menacingly, thinking in his heart, “You’re dead for sure!” Dai Chao was indeed an Advanced Martial Master, but since he was able to become the deputy dojo master with the evolution level of an Advanced Martial Master, his combat ability was naturally way above that of an ordinary Advanced Martial Master. In fact, his combat ability was already similar to that of a Junior Great Martial Master. In this way, even if Lu Yu did have some ability, he was not Dai Chao’s match at all. 4 s
