Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 120 Monster
at the same time.

The top floor of Examination Room No. 1.

This is a huge spectator waiting area that can accommodate thousands of people, and it is already packed with people and bustling with noise.

Countless teachers and school leaders are eagerly awaiting the results of their students' exams.

In the center of the venue, a giant electronic screen is suspended.

There are also hundreds of smaller split screens around it to ensure that viewers in every corner can see clearly.

Chen Meng sat in the back row of the teachers' seating area, looking somewhat nervous.

Wang Zhengguo sat in the back row of the school leaders' section.

To Wang Zhengguo's right, several principals and leaders from Dongjiang No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, and other municipal martial arts high schools were also sitting upright.

To his left sat an elderly man with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a stern face.

Wu Zhenhai, principal of Dongjiang Experimental Middle School.

He crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

He paid no attention to the warm greetings exchanged among the other principals around him, as if he were in another world.

Wang Zhengguo glanced at him, but not wanting to make a fool of himself, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

He and Wu Zhenhai have known each other for decades.

They are all from Dongjiang, and they all rose from ordinary martial artists to where they are today.

However, their educational philosophies were completely different.

Wang Zhengguo advocated education for all, believing that anyone with certain qualifications could take the martial arts exam.

They should be given opportunities and nurtured with all their might.

Wu Zhenhai, on the other hand, firmly believed in elitism.

He believes that whether one studies literature or martial arts, talent determines the upper limit.

It is foolish and inefficient to waste resources on mediocre people who lack talent.

Therefore, the entrance examination for Dongjiang Experimental Middle School is so strict that it is almost abnormal.

Dongjiang No.1 Middle School has more than 1,300 students.

Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, however, has fewer than 300 students across all three grades.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, as a municipal martial arts high school, has maintained an astonishingly high college entrance rate and martial arts exam pass rate for many years.

Just then, the huge screen in the center of the stadium suddenly lit up!
Data streams began to appear on the screen, converging to form a leaderboard.

The entire observation hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's spirits lifted!
The martial arts foundation test data for the first batch of candidates who entered the examination hall is out!

The basic martial arts test is divided into two main categories: "foundation" and "physical fitness".

The former refers to the Qi and Blood Index and the Vitality Index.

The latter refers to peak punching power, 100-meter burst speed, and endurance performance in a 10-kilometer run under standard gravity conditions.

At this moment, the most crucial and fundamental data is being displayed first on the big screen.

The list only shows the top fifty out of all test takers.

Because the data is uploaded in real time, the names and rankings on the list change rapidly. A name that has just entered the list may be pushed off by a stronger one in the next second.

All eyes were fixed on the top of the list.

They are waiting.

We await the emergence of a data point that can dominate the charts for an extended period and truly possesses dominance.

This wait didn't last long.

A brand new statistic has suddenly appeared on the list and immediately topped the rankings!

Furthermore, no matter how the rankings below fluctuate, its position has never been shaken in the slightest!

[NO.1: Yan Hui, Class 1, Grade 12, Dongjiang Experimental Middle School]

[Qi and Blood Index: 99.63]

Life Index: 76.21

A low murmur of discussion instantly erupted throughout the venue.

"Dongjiang Experimental Middle School? What kind of school is that? How could it produce a number one student?"

"Yeah, in previous years, weren't the top three schools, Tianxing Martial Arts High School, Shengtang Martial Arts High School, and Qingtian Middle School, the monsters that dominated the rankings?"

"This seems to be a municipal school, right? Without the support of a powerful family or the Martial Hall, how can it cultivate such a genius?"

"What do you know? This school is an anomaly among public schools. It follows a purely elite route. They don't want anyone without family connections or talent!"

Amidst the murmurs, Wu Zhenhai slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing across his cold face.

Wang Zhengguo glanced at him, though the other man's face remained expressionless.

But he knew that his old rival must be overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Zhenhai."

Wang Zhengguo spoke calmly.

"Even if Yan Hui, whom you personally nurtured, can't hold onto first place in the end, he should be a shoo-in for the top five."

"Humph."

Wu Zhenhai let out a cold snort, his tone filled with powerful confidence.

"What do you know! With Yan Hui's strength, he's at least in the top three."

He just finished speaking.

The rankings have changed again!
Yan Hui's name was moved to second place.

【NO.1: Xu Xiaoman, Class 1, Grade 12, Dongjiang Tianxing Martial Arts High School】

[Qi and Blood Index: 126.45]

Life Index: 82.04

"It's Xu Xiaoman! That genius girl from Tianxing Martial Arts High School!"

"I'd heard she'd reached the Opening Meridian Realm a year ago, but I didn't expect her to be this high—her Qi and Blood Index is over 100!"

The name Xu Xiaoman is already well-known in the entire circle of geniuses in Dongjiang City.

She is hailed as "the foremost person after Wangshu".

She is also recognized as the number one female martial artist among the martial arts students in Dongjiang City.

However, Xu Xiaoxiaoman's name did not stay in the top position for long.

The giant screen in the center of the venue suddenly flashed.

A live monitoring feed was switched in.

In the picture, a tall, handsome young man with striking red hair is standing in front of a specially made punching power test target.

He took a deep breath, and the muscles in his right arm bulged, like a lurking dragon.

Then, he unleashed a powerful punch!

boom! ! !
The dull thud seemed to send a jolt through the entire viewing hall, even through the screen.

The specially made punching target, which was capable of withstanding the impact of fifty tons, actually trembled violently under this punch!

At the same time, the leaderboards on all the split screens in the venue were refreshed again!

This time, the number one spot has changed hands again!

A name that seemed destined for first place appeared at the top of the list!

[NO.1: Xue Wangshu, Class 1, Grade 12, Dongjiang Tianxing Martial Arts High School]

[Qi and Blood Index: 158.63]

Life Index: 99.37

With this, the top three spots on the list are now completely set.

There was an uproar.

Everyone was utterly shocked by these two terrifying statistics.

There is a huge, visible gap between Xue Wangshu, who came in first place, and Xu Xiaoman, who came in second place.

Especially the life index.

Xue Wangshu is already incredibly close to the 100-point mark!
This is completely beyond the scope of high school students!

At the same time, the results of Xue Wangshu's first physical fitness test in the video also came out.

Punching power: 7883.25 kg!

One punch, nearly eight tons!

This is the number one genius of the younger generation in Dongjiang City!

A thunderous roar of amazement and applause suddenly erupted in the observation hall.

Xue Wangshu had been famous for a long time.

Everyone is discussing how much he has improved since last time.

And just how big is the gap between him and other geniuses?

Such a person is someone that only appears once every few years in Dongjiang.

In the teachers' seating area of ​​Tianxing Martial Arts High School, countless teachers stood up excitedly, and applause thundered.

Their school has two of the most outstanding geniuses, who directly dominate the top two spots on the list. What an honor!

Several school leaders even turned their proud gazes toward the private viewing area on the second floor of the venue.

Those sitting there are the real big shots of Dongjiang City.

They hoped that this achievement, which would be recorded in the history of education in Dongjiang City, would be noticed by those important figures.

Just then, a person wearing a double-layered work uniform hurried by.

He gracefully walked to the back row of the school leadership area, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he went straight to Wang Zhengguo.

He bowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of cautious politeness.

"Excuse me, are you Principal Wang Zhengguo?"

Wang Zhengguo paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes, that's me."

The smile on the staff member's face instantly brightened.

"Hello, Principal Wang. This is Li Kainian, Deputy Director of the Department, located in the viewing area on the second floor. Please come up for a chat."

The staff member paused, then added a sentence that left all the school leaders who were eavesdropping completely dumbfounded.

"In addition, Deputy Director Li would like to learn more about a candidate from your school named Lin Ye."

Wang Zhengguo was completely stunned.

Li Kainian?
This name, like a bolt of lightning from the past, awakened his long-forgotten memories.

Li Kainian was his company commander when he served in the army in his youth. He later heard that Li Kainian had risen through the ranks, but he had long since left the military system.

Unexpectedly... he was transferred to the Department of Education.

Moreover, he was a deputy director-general?

The educational institutions of the Great Xia Alliance are divided into four levels: government, department, bureau, and bureau.

The highest-ranking official in Dongjiang City is the director of the Education Bureau.

"Company, that's at the provincial level!"
Wang Zhengguo's surprise was far greater than what he showed on his face.

Even if this old company commander wanted to catch up with him.

And they certainly wouldn't choose this time.

Most likely, it's because of Lin Ye!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, forced a smile, and readily agreed.

This scene left everyone around them completely dumbfounded.

Especially the school leaders from Tianxing Martial Arts High School who were near the front row, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

what's the situation?
Deputy Director Li surprisingly did not invite the school leaders who had nurtured Xue Wangshu and Xu Xiaoman.

Instead, they hired a little-known principal from Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School?
Also, what did that staff member say?
Deputy Director Li wants to know more about a particular student?
He didn't want to know Xue Wangshu, he didn't want to know Xu Xiaoman, so why would he be interested in a student from a municipal martial arts high school?

In an instant, countless gazes, a mixture of surprise, jealousy, and incomprehension, focused on Wang Zhengguo's departing figure. Chen Meng sat in his seat, watching the principal's retreating back.

He glanced again at the list on the big screen, which remained unchanged, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Before long, Wang Zhengguo arrived on the second floor, led by a staff member.

The space here is far more private and quiet than the first floor. Everyone sitting here exudes a calm and composed aura, suggesting an extraordinary status.

"Jung-guk! Over here, hehe, long time no see!"

A loud and familiar voice rang out.

Wang Zhengguo looked up and immediately saw the head seat.

A tall, dignified old man with a square face was smiling and waving at him.

Wang Zhengguo strode closer and saw that sitting next to Li Kainian was the director of the Dongjiang City Education Bureau.

This is the boss who usually scolds him like a grandson.

Upon seeing him, she wore an awkward smile and reluctantly shifted her body to make room for him.

Wang Zhengguo suddenly felt unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, filled with fear and anxiety.

"sit!"

Li Kainian's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

“We haven’t seen each other in a long time, so let’s take this opportunity to catch up. You don’t need to be so reserved.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengguo sat down as instructed.

Even so, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

All around were scrutinizing and curious gazes.

Behind every gaze lies a great figure whom he usually looks up to.

Surrounded by a group of big shots, even Wang Zhengguo, who was over fifty years old and boasted of having seen it all, felt somewhat suffocated.

The two exchanged a few brief pleasantries.

Wang Zhengguo learned that Li Kainian had only recently been transferred to Ninghai Province to serve as the deputy director of the Education Department.

I am currently conducting research in various cities and prefectures across the province.

I happened to be in Dongjiang yesterday, and thanks to the strong recommendation and persuasion of the Director of Education, I took some time today to come and see this mock exam.

“Jung-guk.”

Li Kainian changed the subject, his expression turning serious.

"Do you know anything about that student named Lin Ye at your school?"

Wang Zhengguo felt a chill run down his spine.

He dared not delay and nodded quickly, briefly recounting Lin Ye's family situation and the story of his father, Lin Tao, being wounded and rendered meritorious service on the front lines.

Li Kainian's expression grew increasingly serious. He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice as he continued to ask.

“We did not conduct a body fluid check before this exam. Although all kinds of instruments have the highest level of anti-cheating measures, I need to get confirmation from you.”

"He wouldn't cheat, would he?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengguo had already guessed seven or eight parts of the truth.

It seems that Lin Ye really did cause a huge stir during the test.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Li Kainian's turn to happen to discover Lin Ye's principal, who just happened to be him.

There would be no conversation like this now.

Wang Zhengguo suddenly stood up from his seat, his back ramrod straight.

He looked at Li Kainian and solemnly assured him, word by word, "I guarantee with my integrity and decades of teaching experience that Lin Ye would never cheat!"

"If he cheated, I am willing to take full responsibility and be dismissed on the spot!"

Li Kainian was taken aback when he saw his appearance, but then his expression relaxed.

A smile reappeared on his face.

He reached out and pressed on Wang Zhengguo's shoulder.

"Sit down! Don't be so tense!"

"If you say that, then I'll believe you."

Li Kainian watched as Wang Zhengguo sat down before slowly dropping a bombshell.

"Do you know that one of your students just triggered the alarm on the sophisticated instrument we use to test blood and qi levels and life force?"

Wang Zhengguo's mind went blank.

What?
Call the police?
Li Kainian continued, "The reason for the alarm is simple: the instrument's main control AI determined that the detected data far exceeded the peak range that should be present for this age group in the database, and even..."

"Even in many formal martial artists who have already entered the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, or even the peak stage, this kind of data cannot be detected."

This time, Wang Zhengguo was completely dumbfounded.

He sat there blankly, his mind a complete blank.

Lin Ye...

Just how high have your blood and energy levels and life force reached?

Li Kainian said no more and nodded to a staff member who had been waiting for a long time beside him.

He immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Consider his test passed, release the data! Let him continue testing other projects."

"In addition, switch the live stream on the main screen to his test site."

Li Kainian leaned back in his chair, his eyes gleaming with interest.

Wang Zhengguo felt his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He was actually unsure about Lin Ye's feelings.

But the words had already been spoken, and he had completely lost face!

Not long after.

The image on the huge main screen in the center of the observation hall suddenly flashed.

Lin Ye was standing in front of the punching power test target.

Just now, he was stuck in that fully enclosed metal cabin for a full ten minutes.

He even thought it was a machine malfunction and called the proctor.

However, the only message he received was to wait in place while a thorough review was underway.

Fortunately, the final test was finally completed before he arrived at the room where his punching power was tested.

Lin Ye looked at the heavy punching bag in front of him, which gleamed with a cold metallic light, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

This time, he has no intention of hiding himself any longer.

Lin Ye knew that this mock exam was the biggest stage for him.

He wanted everyone to see him!

Lin Ye slowly pulled his right fist behind him, lowering his center of gravity and making his spine resemble a fully drawn bow.

He mobilized every drop of boiling blood and qi in his limbs and bones!

He poured all of his Qi and blood bursting techniques from the Opening Meridian Realm into his fist.

[Normal Attack] allows him to unleash 100% of his power with every punch!
Then comes the [Charged Strike]!
Finally, there is the [Spear Stance]!
At this moment, there is no difference between throwing a punch and drawing a gun.

Use your fists as weapons!

Soul-Chasing and Deadly!

The four forces combined and exploded in an instant!
Lin Ye threw a punch.

This punch didn't even actually touch the punching target.

Inside the observation hall, all the audience members sitting in the front row, as well as all the leaders in the second-floor viewing area.

They all heard a muffled bang through the high-fidelity speakers!

A glint of light flashed in Li Kainian's eyes.

The other Dongjiang City leaders sitting next to him also had their expressions change drastically at the same moment!
This is……

Sonic boom! !
The speed and power of this punch were astonishing, even over such a short distance.

This caused a violent compression of the air, creating sonic boom ripples that were visible to the naked eye!
Followed by.

boom--! ! ! !

A deafening roar, several times louder than when Xue Wangshu tested it before, exploded out!

Lin Ye's fist struck the very center of the punching target!

Then, something happened that left all the spectators utterly astonished.

That sturdy punching target, made of a special alloy, could only be made to shake violently even by Xue Wangshu's full-force blow...

Under Lin Ye's punch, the entire target surface was dented by a terrifying indentation more than ten centimeters deep, centered on the point of contact with the fist!
The entire punching bag, along with its base which weighs several tons, was subjected to this unimaginable force.

It slammed backward and moved half a meter, leaving two glaring white marks on the floor!
The whole place was silent!

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

If Xue Wangshu was a genius...

So……

Who is this expressionless boy on the screen who is retracting his fist?
A monster in human skin?
a long time.

The murmurs surged from every corner of the venue like a tidal wave, quickly coalescing into a deafening roar!

"Holy crap... wasn't that target supposed to withstand an impact of up to fifty tons?"

"That noise...how many tons must that be? My God..."

"Who is this guy? He's wearing a school uniform, I've never seen him before!"

The second floor has a separate viewing area.

A smile appeared on Li Kainian's face.

It's the kind of surprise and interest that comes from actually finding a big fish in a shallow pond.

The director of the Dongjiang City Education Bureau, sitting next to him, looked utterly horrified.

He was losing control of his facial expressions.

His strong desire to retain Li Kainian was to let this leader see Xue Wangshu.

This was to highlight his achievements in Dongjiang.

Look, this is the most awesome genius in Dongjiang.

How about it, not bad, right?
But things are developing in a way that far exceeds his expectations.

He felt like a superstar he had painstakingly built up was suddenly being completely outshone by a random passerby.

Wang Zhengguo felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

His blood was rushing to his head, his cheeks were flushed red, his breathing was rapid, and he was both excited and terrified.

If Lin Ye's previous abnormal values ​​could be attributed to cheating...

But this punch, delivered in full view of everyone, is enough to shatter any doubts!
While the entire audience was still immersed in the visual impact of Lin Ye's punch,

The huge main screen in the center of the venue, along with hundreds of surrounding split screens, flickered simultaneously without warning!
The rankings, which had become relatively stable and almost unchanged, have once again begun to fluctuate dramatically!
In the seating area of ​​Tianxing Martial Arts High School, the pride and joy on the faces of the principal and a group of teachers froze instantly.

They watched helplessly as the student, who had just reached the top and was shining brightly, achieved first place—a result they considered the greatest honor for the school.

It trembled on the screen.

Then, they were forcibly pushed down one place!
It became second!
The throne has changed hands!

A completely new and unfamiliar name has taken the top spot with an overbearing and domineering attitude!

[NO.1: Lin Ye, Class 7, Grade 12, Dongjiang No.1 Middle School]

[Qi and Blood Index: 236.81]

Life Index: 204.77
