Chapter 81 - The Effects Of Breaking Through

"Gu Yang, D-rank High State, not bad. I remember that your rank was D-rank Low State, but your attack power is actually a High State. Alright, you can move on now." 

Instructor Yang praised and immediately urged him to leave since there were still other students who had yet to take their test. 

"Next!" He then called out.

Following the next few minutes, a group of students went to take their test, however, most of them were either Rank E or Rank D. 

Randy was the last person in line, so he had to wait his turn as various students went to take their ability tests. 

None of them were able to get a Rank C attack power and thus the test proceeded smoothly.

And very soon, it was finally Randy's turn to take his test. 

He had been waiting for so long since he was the last one to take his test, but now it was finally time for him to get this ability test over with. 

As he walked forward, the instructor proceeded to stare at him for a while before thinking to himself.

'Hmm…? Isn't this kid the trash who couldn't even awaken his ability throughout his entire time in the academy? Although I heard that he had awakened his ability recently from Instructor Liu, and yet the one whom he had supposedly hurt during his bout yesterday was doing surprisingly okay, so based on that, it couldn't have been a noteworthy ability that he had awakened, right? As expected, once a trash will always be a trash.'

Thinking so, he immediately lost interest in the student that was going to take his ability test. 

At this point, as Randy walked towards the doll that was not too far away from him, a group of students started jeering in his direction.

"Hey, isn't this our class's loser, Randy? Why is he taking the test? Did I miss something?"

"I heard that this loser had somehow awakened his ability and even managed to defeat that Gu Yang who took his test a while ago. I even heard that his ability was a body reinforcement-type and that he even had a higher rank than Jeremiah's rank."

"Oh, I heard about that too, they said that he had some transformation ability that changed his hair color in a silver white color and his expression was really terrifying. I really am curious about it now that I think about it."

"So that's why… No wonder that loser is now participating in the practical training class." 

"Tch, do you believe that his recently awakened ability could be better than those that had awakened it for a long time than he did? Did you not see Jeremiah's attack power just a while ago? He had a fucking B-rank attack power, do you think Randy would be able to surpass that kind of difference in strength with his physical attack?"   

"Well, I guess that makes sense…"

"Hehe… does this loser think that he could beat Jeremiah's record just now, he shouldn't embarrass himself by even attempting this ability test. As for me, I don't believe that he awakened any ability, you guys are probably exaggerating his ability… Did you all forget that he was the strongest in terms of raw physical strength? I think that he probably broke through to the next stage in his physical strength, and as for the hair color, that's probably a lie told by some idiots." 

While the students were discussing this matter, Randy had already stood in front of the dolls with a pondering expression.

Although he could hear what these students were saying as he passed them, all the way until he stood in front of the doll, he did not pay them any attention and continued to ponder about something. 

At this point, Randy had pondered whether he should use his profound technique or use his transformed state, or perhaps both. 

After deliberating for a while regarding the ruckus using them both would cause, he eventually decided not to use his transformed state and simply use his profound fist technique as it should be enough to get a good score with his current comprehension of the technique.

With that decided, he stood casually in front of the doll while looking at it for a while.

Meanwhile, the other students who were watching him immediately shut their mouths as they waited with bated breaths. Some had a look of anticipation after hearing that he awakened his ability, and others, the look of mockery as they could not wait to ridicule him when he gets a worse score. 

As they watched Randy's figure, he suddenly assumed a random stance with his fist clenched, however, if one looked closely enough, they could feel that the air around his fist rippling just from him clenching his fist.

This aroused the attention of the instructor, as he suddenly focused on the student partaking in the test. 

After infusing his fist with magical energy, Randy casually throws a punch without putting much strength in his fist. 

Void Punch!

"BOOM!!"

A loud smashing sound resounded and the doll which seemed malleable, similar to the one back at the awakening center, actually broke apart, or more precisely, it was carved inwards.

And very soon, the result was announced for everyone to hear: [Ding! 505 Attack Damage]

Immediately after announcing this, the doll suddenly turned dim, seemingly affected by the impact of the punch just now, thus destroying some of its functions.

There was a sudden eerie silence…

All the students including the practical training instructor gasped in shock and disbelief as they stared at Randy's figure with a gawking expression. 

They were so baffled by this unexpected occurrence that it rendered them speechless and some even had their mouths left agape wide, and even if a fly were to fly into their mouth right now, they might not even notice it due to the shocking scene.

'Damn! I used too much energy to attack just now. After reaching the peak of the 4th circle magician realm, I could vaguely feel a qualitative change in my current magical energy, so it seems that this was most likely the result of that effect? Is that why I could feel an increase in my total magical energy's strength and also, the density of my attack power just now?"

Randy wondered with a pondering expression as he looked at the mess that he had caused from his attack just now.
