I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"General Zephyr, I've run fifty laps with weights and come back."

The sun bear's eyes were fixed straight ahead, its gaze unwavering, showing no signs of fatigue.

"...Not bad." Zefa pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to punish Higuma and exhaust his energy so he could continue with the lesson.

The punching power testing machine does not test pure muscle strength, but rather the power and destructive force of the moves.

For example, the Six Styles of the Navy, which are widely used by naval officers and CP.

Iron block, finger gun, paper drawing, shaving, moon walk, storm kick.

The Six Styles are not just physical techniques; moves like paper drawing, finger gun, and iron block can also be used to train control over the body.

Characters like Onigumo and later Lucci can also master a skill called "Life Return," which allows them to infuse their consciousness into their bodies, causing hair, torso, and other parts to grow and change according to their will, resulting in physical alterations.

The hair of the main character, Onigumo, can even be used as six new arms that appear out of nowhere.

From the Six Styles to Life Return, it's not just about training physical fitness and striving to become a superhuman, but also about gradually improving control over physical strength.

When physically exhausted, one should concentrate, strengthen control, and precisely manage the strength of the limbs.

It's like a rich person can squander money at will, while a poor person has to stretch every penny in half to spend it.

Zefa has experience with this kind of thing.

Seeing that Higuma was covered in sweat, as if he had just stepped out of a steamer, he nodded silently.

“Now, test your punching power again,” Zephyr said calmly.

"it is good."

The sun bear nodded.

He took two steps forward, took a deep breath, stepped back half a step, pushed off with his back foot, twisted his waist and turned his hips, and threw a punch.

This punch seemed to create ripples in the air, and its speed was much faster than before.

boom!

The entire punching power testing machine shook, and even the floor beneath our feet trembled slightly.

The bright red numbers on the screen flickered for a moment before settling on a single number.

13468!

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

The instructors, including Xiu Zuo, who had been observing from the sidelines, were immediately taken aback.

What surprised them was not how strong Higuma's punch was... In the Navy, there were many who could deliver an even stronger punch.

To their astonishment... before training, Higuma's punching power stat was 11414!

After running 50 laps with a weight on his body, Rikuma's punching power was actually about two tons higher than before.

Is this reasonable? No, it is not.

After running fifty laps with a weight, although it's not the arm muscles that are tired, a lot of physical strength must have been used up. It's already good that you can still deliver punches with the same power as before.

Instead of decreasing, it increased. This was the first time that Xiu Zuo, as an instructor, had ever seen such a situation. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zefa.

Zefa pondered for a moment, then nodded;

"good."

"Run another 50 laps, this time with a 400KG weighted vest."

The sun bear's stamina seems to be better than I expected... I misjudged it.

But it doesn't matter, let's keep going.

Zephyr didn't explain, and Higuma didn't ask. He just eagerly put on his weighted vest and started running in the sunlight again.

More than an hour later, Higuma stopped again. This time he was sweating even more, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"Have some water and rest for a bit, then test your punching power again," Zefa said.

boom!

Rixiong gathered his strength again and threw a powerful punch. This punch was even slightly faster than before, and the speed of the punch was so fast that it was almost blurred at the moment of force.

15254!

"What's going on? His punching power has actually increased?"

At this moment, Xiu Zuo focused his attention and finally figured out some of the trick:

"This is certainly not because Sun Bear's strength suddenly increased, or because he made rapid progress in mastering more powerful techniques..."

"It's speed; his punching speed is increasing..."

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zefa again, wanting to see Zefa's reaction.

Zephyr noticed this as well, and although he was puzzled, he nodded calmly on the surface.

"good."

"Put on a 600KG weighted vest and run 50 laps around the training camp."

History repeats itself time and time again.

As the weighted vest grew heavier, Rixiong's steps became increasingly sluggish.

The Emperor's Engine beat silently within his chest, his heart felt as if it were about to explode, and his blood surged and churned within him like a river.

Again and again, round and round.

By the time Xiong had stood in front of Zefa for what seemed like the umpteenth time that day, almost half the day had passed.

Before Zephyr could speak, Higuma stood in front of the punching power testing machine again.

call.....

He exhaled a long breath, and the visible heat shot out like a sharp arrow.

By simply expending physical strength, the Emperor Engine was pushed to its limit.

My body was as hot as a furnace, and my blood was as surging as a river.

Exhaling a breath brings a scorching heat wave, causing blood and qi to surge, like a blazing sun.

Not only does physical fitness increase and reaction speed improve, but thinking speed also increases in Emperor Engine mode.

Neither Sig nor Sun Bear have ever experienced such a moment.

Although Sieg often faces formidable enemies and teeters between life and death, he rarely engages in prolonged or grueling battles that drain his stamina.

call.....

He strode up to the punching power testing machine.

Take a deep breath, clench your fist, and throw a punch.

The moment the fist was fully charged and thrown, the entire arm blurred for a moment and disappeared from everyone's sight.

boom!

An invisible ripple spread through the air, followed by a muffled thud, and the ground trembled once more.

Then, the navy men nearby saw Higuma's fist reappear.

A deep fist imprint was left on the alloy steel plate of the punching power testing machine.

21547!

If one of Gian's punches is equivalent to the full force of two African elephants stomping on him, then this punch probably has the power of seven elephants.

It was more than three times stronger than the maximum punching power of the Sun Bear a few days ago.

Higuma stared quietly at the numbers on the panel, his blood surging through his veins, yet his mind was surprisingly calm.

"Maybe KING really can become a genuine S-class hero." This thought flashed through his mind.

The increase in muscle strength is an effect brought about by the Gian card.

But the seemingly endless stamina, with the effect increasing the faster the heartbeat, is the effect of the Emperor Engine.

This is the combined power of a 100% young giant, plus the 100% true Emperor Engine. The two are stacked together, resulting in a powerful and fast attack.

He stared blankly at the numbers on the panel.

Along the way, Sieg encountered opponents who were far stronger than him, and he relied on all sorts of strange abilities to deal with them. He had gotten used to walking a tightrope.

Although he kept saying he wanted to become a general, at this moment... Higuma finally saw hope.

A hope that one will no longer need to walk a tightrope, but can steadily make progress and live a peaceful life.

Whether it's the shadow clone Sun Bear or Dracula, they both possess something that Sigurd lacks.

time.

For Navy Commander Higuma, the Navy Headquarters is arguably the safest place in the world, bar none.

After the hypnotic reinforcement, even the arduous training became enjoyable, as it was like having the best environment paired with the best teachers.

"this....."

After several attempts, Xiu Zuo and the others finally figured out what was going on.

"The more stamina I expend, the faster my punches become. Is this some kind of strange physique?"

At this moment, Xiu Zuo suddenly realized:

"Teacher Zefa previously said that he would customize a special training plan for Rixi Xiong, teaching according to his aptitude."

"It seems that Professor Zephyr has fully grasped the secrets of Sun Bear's physique. He is testing Sun Bear's physical potential."

"I see..."

Amidst the gazes of the instructors, Zephyr coughed lightly. He glanced at the setting sun and finally gave up on the idea of ​​completely exhausting the sun bear's stamina.

"That's enough for today. Tomorrow, we'll begin practicing the Six Forms."

"Also, Higuma, you can start looking for your team now."
