Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 36 Get ready, here I come!

Twenty minutes later, in Jiangnan Base City, at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, on the third basement floor.

As Jiang Lan stepped off the elevator, she looked at the furnishings in front of her and raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had ever seen the underground of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

The place was simply furnished: a punching power testing machine, some equipment that Jiang Lan couldn't name, and a circular running track. It looked no different from the place where he had tested his speed before.

Zhuge Tao looked at Jiang Lan with anticipation in his eyes.

"I even opened the War God Training Room specially for you! Brother Lan, it's all up to you now!"

Jiang Lan: "?"

He was just about to say that he should be the one calling Zhuge Tao "brother."

It's a super-generational addition.

Zhuge Tao walked up to the punching power testing machine, which looked quite expensive, and introduced it:

"This is a test machine used exclusively by the God of War. It can withstand an instantaneous impact of up to 500 tons. It is also the most advanced punching power test machine that can be used inside buildings."

"And that's only possible underground. If it were upstairs, a punch with the force of 500 tons might just collapse the building. As for testing machines with even stronger load-bearing capacity, we don't have any right now; we'd have to go to the Hongning City headquarters for those."

Jiang Lan nodded.

Five hundred tons? He doesn't have that much strength.

According to Jiang Lan's own estimation, his current punching power is about 150,000 to 160,000 kilograms, which translates to about 150 to 160 tons.

Taking two steps forward and walking to Zhuge Tao's side, Jiang Lan stretched and said:

"Shall I begin?"

Zhuge Tao took several steps back, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Let's begin!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan looked at the punching power testing machine and took a deep breath.

One of the reasons he agreed to participate in the test was that he wanted to know exactly what level his power had reached.

Speculation is just speculation; without seeing the specific numbers, Jiang Lan was also a little itchy to find out more.

His muscles tensed slightly, and his strength rose from the ground, down to his calves and thighs, then to his waist and abdomen. Finally, all of Jiang Lan's strength was concentrated in his arms.

His fist, like a battering ram, left a trail of afterimages in the air as it slammed towards the punching power testing machine.

"Thump!!!"

The punching power testing machine vibrated violently, causing Zhuge Tao's heart to tremble as well.

Although the specific numbers on the machine had not yet been displayed, Zhuge Tao was almost certain that Jiang Lan's punch was more powerful than that of the God of War.

He is a high-ranking warrior, but still some distance from being a god of war. His punching power is approximately 400,000 kilograms.

The power and force of Jiang Lan's punch were far beyond what he could match.

The difference in strength between the two was so great that Zhuge Tao couldn't figure out how to compare them for a moment.

Zhuge Tao's chest heaved as he stared intently at the virtual screen above the punch strength testing machine, as if afraid of missing something.

Jiang Lan also looked up at the light screen above.

He was quite satisfied with the punch he had just landed.

It can be said that the punch he just threw had almost completely unleashed the power within his body.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a few seconds, and finally, a line of data slowly appeared on the screen.

173268KG

"170,000?!"

Zhuge Tao opened his mouth wide, as if he had stopped breathing.

He had actually considered that Jiang Lan's potential might be outrageous.

In his mind, his expectation of Jiang Lan's punching power was around 80,000 kilograms. Even if it exceeded that number, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he could accept it calmly.

After all, the difference between people can sometimes be much greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Just because he can't achieve it doesn't mean Jiang Lan can't.

But 170,000...

Such outrageous numbers are beyond his wildest imagination; he never even dreamed of such a thing happening.

When Jiang Lan left Mingyue Community, her strength was only about 15,000 kilograms.

Only three days have passed, and the power has increased tenfold and even taken a turn?

Let alone Zhuge Tao, even if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe the numbers displayed on the punching power testing machine's screen.

Jiang Lan, standing to the side, looked at the data displayed on the screen and a smile appeared on her lips.

The sacrifice system did not disappoint him.

In three days, the total strength increased by more than 150,000 kilograms, averaging 50,000 kilograms per day.

If more and stronger monsters were offered as sacrifices, Jiang Lan's strength would only increase even faster.

According to Jiang Lan's own speculation, once he reaches a place with more abundant 'resources,' his strength might improve at twice the speed it does now.

In other words, the punching power alone can increase by at least 100,000 kilograms per day.

The threshold for planetary-level strength is a punching force of one thousand tons, or about one million kilograms.

At a rate of 100,000 kilograms per day, Jiang Lan will be able to reach the threshold of the planetary level in ten days.

Moreover, the body-tempering pills obtained through sacrifice do not only increase strength, but also simultaneously enhance speed and nerve reaction ability.

Although the types of monsters hunted may vary, this ratio may differ.

But as long as he kills enough, this gap will automatically balance out.

Even at the current pace, achieving planetary status in twenty days would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, he no longer needs to worry about the bet with Yao Rao.

Jiang Lan was itching to get back into the wilderness and improve his strength.

Just as Jiang Lan was thinking about something, Zhuge Tao seemed to suddenly come back to life, jumping up to Jiang Lan's side and gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands.

This sudden action left Jiang Lan completely bewildered.

What are you doing, buddy?

Before he could speak, Zhuge Tao's lips trembled as he exclaimed, "Intermediate War God! You're an intermediate War God!"

Jiang Lan's lips twitched slightly.

His earlier assessment was correct; it seems that Zhuge Tao was truly frightened this time.

They were all terrified.

Having broken free from Zhuge Tao's grasp, Jiang Lan said:

"It should be about right, but the speed hasn't been tested yet."

"No need, no need..." Zhuge Tao shook his head frantically, then nodded frantically. "Yes, yes! Test it, test it now!"

Jiang Lan: "..."

broken.

If Zhuge Tao were truly scared out of his wits, then his crime would be enormous.

No matter what, Zhuge Tao had treated him quite well, and Jiang Lan didn't want anything to really happen to him.

"Tao-ge, calm down."

Jiang Lan stepped forward and patted Zhuge Tao on the back, offering words of advice.

"Calm down! I'm perfectly calm right now!" Zhuge Tao replied, panting heavily, each word distinct.

Jiang Lan: "..."

No.

Dude?

Why don't you take a look at yourself and see where you've actually calmed down?

"Really, Brother Tao, don't scare me. Don't have a heart attack and die here. I won't be able to explain it away."
