Chapter 30 Fist Strength Test

“Alright, this is a safe zone. Return the way you came. I need to go back,” Golden Shield said.

“Boss!”

“Big Brother!”

All of a sudden, everyone was anxious.

Gui Suan stepped forward and said with a solemn expression, “Old Pang, don’t be rash. I know you’re a loyal person, but if we go back now, we’ll have to face dozens or even hundreds of Sandworm Beasts. Moreover, Wang Xu might have already been drowned by the Sandworm Beasts while we were escaping. If you go back now, you’ll only die in vain!” Golden Shield waved his hand. “Gui Suan, you know me best among all of us. Wang Xu has joined the Crimson Flame Legion. He’s a part of my Crimson Flame. Even if I die, I have to bring back his bones. Even if I can’t bring them back, I have to at least kill a few Sandworm Insect Beasts to avenge Brother Wang Xu!”

Gui Suan sighed. Golden Shield was very stubborn. He couldn’t persuade him, so he could only say, “Since you’ve made up your mind, bring me along. Although my strength isn’t high, I can still resist one or two Sandworm beasts.”

“Boss, I’ll go too. I have to help avenge Brother Wang!”

“Big Brother, I’ll join too!”

Everyone asked to return. Golden Shield sighed silently and his eyes became firm. “Alright, we’ll go back and take revenge for Brother Wang. But remember, we’re not going to die. Once you see that the situation is bad, escape quickly, understand?”.

The group had just left the area of the Sandworm Beast when they returned in the blink of an eye.

“Eh?” Golden Shield held his alloy shield in his hand as he walked at the front of the team. His nose caught a strong smell of blood.

“What a strong smell of blood. Did a massacre happen here?” Red Eyes smelled it too.

Golden Shield frowned. “Everyone, be careful. Don’t let your guard down.”

The group walked on the sand, and the last person was responsible for erasing the footprints along the way. Soon, they returned to the scene of Wang Xu’s massacre.

“My God, what… what’s going on?” Red Eye’s eyes widened.

The sand within a radius of 100 meters seemed to have been soaked in a vat of blood. The blood seeped into the sand and dyed it red. The thick smell of blood floated in the air, and a light sniff was pungent. The most surprising thing was that hundreds of Sandworm Beasts had disappeared. The smell of blood was theirs, but not a single corpse was left behind.

“Did someone from another legion come to kill them?” Red Ax asked, voicing his doubts.

Even a few level-six Gene Warriors would have a headache if the Sandworm Beasts attacked in groups. But now, there was only blood on the ground and no corpses. Other than a powerful legion killing them, they couldn’t think of any other explanation.

“Wait! Look over there!” Suddenly, Blue Sword saw a figure and quickly pointed.

Everyone looked over and saw a familiar figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. His body was covered in blood, and the dust and sand were stuck to his face by the blood. He looked miserable. “Wang Xu!”

“Brother Wang!”

Everyone was extremely excited. Being surrounded by dozens of Sandworm Beasts was no less terrifying than facing a level-seven Gene Warrior. It was simply unbelievable that Wang Xu could survive!

“Huh? It’s the boss and the others.” Wang Xu opened his eyes when he heard the sound. He saw Golden Shield and the others rushing over from afar and grinned.

“It’s really you. I’m so glad you’re okay!” Red Ax shouted happily.

“It’s all my fault.” Golden Shield looked apologetic. “I gave the order to retreat when you were at your most dangerous. I wanted to come back and help you take revenge, but it seems that I did something unnecessary.”

Wang Xu smiled. When Golden Shield and the others left, he was completely unaware. He was focused on comprehending the Movement Technique and had no time to care about anything else. Later on, when he slaughtered a large number of Sandworm Beasts, he realized that Golden Shield and the others had already left.

On second thought, it was true that the strength of a group of level-five insect beasts was terrifying. If he hadn’t comprehended the Movement Technique, he would have probably died at the insect’s mouth. In the Crimson Flame Legion, only the Golden Shield was at level six, and the rest were all at level five. If they faced a group of Sandworm Beasts, they would only die in vain.

Golden Shield must be worried since he had returned at this time. It proved once again that Golden Shield was indeed a good leader and worth following.

“By the way, why is there a large pool of blood here? Where’s the swarm of Sandworm Beasts?” Red Eyes thought of the most important question and said.

“Did a powerful legion come?” Red Ax asked.

The few of them looked at Wang Xu curiously. Wang Xu smiled mysteriously. Then, he rolled his eyes and nodded. “Yes, an especially strong legion came before. It’s called the Phantom.”

“Oh God!”

“It’s them!”

Everyone gasped in shock. Even Golden Shield couldn’t help but turn pale with fright. The Phantom Legion was ranked 15th, and their strength was already publicly acknowledged to be powerful. Among them, there were three level seven students, and the rest were all level six students. How could such a terrifying lineup not be powerful?

It wasn’t that Wang Xu didn’t trust them. It was better to preserve some strength here. The more trump cards he revealed, the closer he would be to death. Wang Xu understood this principle.

“Why would they save you?” Black Whip asked.

Everyone nodded. The stronger the legion, the more they didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. Besides, they had to spend some effort to deal with the group of Sandworm Beasts. Who would stand up for a stranger when they had nothing to do?

“I know a person in the Phantom Legion called Zhang Xinglin. He comes from the same academy as me,” Wang Xu said.

Wang Xu did not lie about this. After he came, he specifically asked about the whereabouts of Ying Xing, Zhang Xinglin, and the others. He learned that Ying Xing had joined a legion ranked 81st, Tang Yan had joined the legion ranked 97th, and Zhang Xinglin had unexpectedly joined the legion ranked 15th.

“I see. No wonder. The Phantom Legion is really powerful. In a short period of time, they swept through dozens of Sandworm Beasts.” Red Axe exclaimed with envy in his eyes.

“Don’t even think about it, Ax. They’re all elites among elites. When will it be your turn?” Blue Sword teased.

Everyone burst into laughter, but Gui Suan suddenly said, “Wang Xu, you’ve reached level five?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately looked at Wang Xu with surprise in their eyes. They had been discussing why Wang Xu wasn’t dead and had forgotten that Wang Xu had already broken through.

“Haha! This is great! Those who survive a disaster are bound to be blessed! Let’s go, let’s continue to complete the mission. When we go back, we’ll have a drink to calm Brother Wang Xu’s nerves.” Golden Shield’s face was filled with joy. Wang Xu had advanced to level five, and his combat strength had increased by a step. This meant that the strength of the Crimson Flame Legion had also greatly increased. It was naturally a joyous matter.

The next mission was completed even more smoothly. Wang Xu’s addition was like adding wings to a tiger. Even if six or seven Sandworm Beasts were attracted at the same time, they could still be successfully dealt with. This greatly accelerated the progress of the mission. In just two hours, they collected the corpses of fifty Sandworm Beasts and immediately returned to their legion base.

The rewards for the mission were generous, but there wasn’t much left for each team member when it was split. Wang Xu didn’t care about this. The most important thing for him now was to improve his movement technique.

Wang Xu realized that the improvement in his movement technique was even more powerful than the improvement in his realm. He was like a harvesting machine when he hunted insect beasts. Insect beasts couldn’t hit him, but he could harvest insect beasts… Thinking of this, Wang Xu was excited.

Movement techniques were not omnipotent. If he encountered a student who was equally outstanding in movement techniques, he could only rely on his realm and strength. Although Wang Xu was excited, he was not arrogant to the point of looking down on others.

“After advancing to level five, I should be able to cultivate the Nine Lightning Sword Techniques and the Misty Movement to perfection.”

Wang Xu rushed back to the cultivation room after eating and drinking as soon as he returned to the legion base. He didn’t go to the bar to have a drink, nor did he relax. He seized every minute and second to cultivate.

The sixth technique: Thunder Dragon enters the Earth

The seventh technique: Violent Lightning Strike

The eighth technique: Lightning Fear Sword

The ninth technique: Nine Revolutions Lightning Sword

Wang Xu had already reached level five, and with the foundation of the fourth level of the “Basic Body”, the “Nine Lightning Sword” was nothing to him. He had completely comprehended it. The “Nine Lightning Sword Techniques” was an advanced ancient martial art. After cultivating it to the ninth level, Wang Xu realized that his strength output level had already reached 2.0. This meant that he could instantly unleash double his strength!

“I haven’t tested the level of my fist strength at level five yet. Let’s see how much my fist strength has improved.”

There was only simple cultivation equipment in the cultivation room. The fist strength testing device could only be seen in the public cultivation room. Wang Xu casually found a cultivation room and walked in. He realized that someone was testing his fist strength.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, Wang Xu saw the numbers on the electronic screen jumping faster and faster.

3,560 kg.

5,862 kg.

6,854 kg.

9,685 kg.

It was not until 10,254 kg that the value was finally determined.

Wang Xu’s pupils suddenly constricted. The strength of the fist could exceed 10,000. It was either a powerful level six or a level seven master!

Wang Xu immediately looked at that figure and his eyes lit up.

It was a woman with a ponytail and a white tank top. The woman had a graceful figure, and her snow-white neck and skin were crystal clear. Just her back view alone could charm countless male students.

Wang Xu was also a man, so he couldn’t help but take a few more glances. The woman seemed to have sensed his gaze and turned around.

She was so beautiful!

Wang Xu was stunned. He had seen many beautiful women. Tang Yan was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She was beautiful. However, if the woman in front of him could only be described as devastatingly beautiful!

She had thin lips, a slightly upturned nose, and a pair of bright eyes. Wang Xu had only seen such beauty in the paintings of ancient figures. He didn’t expect such beauty to really exist in reality!

However, Wang Xu quickly regained his senses. When he saw the woman looking at him, he couldn’t help but wipe his nose awkwardly.

The woman glanced at Wang Xu casually as if she was already used to it. She turned around indifferently and left the cultivation room.

Wang Xu calmed down a little and walked to the fist strength testing machine. He moved his feet and his waist sank. Power came from his spine. He stared ahead and a vast aura suddenly appeared. His aura changed drastically, and he was like a different person from before.

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and then the values on the electronic screen jumped crazily.

“Yes, it should be able to reach about 5,000 kg.” Wang Xu thought to himself.

3,569 kg.

5,896 kg.

7,592 kg.

8,521 kg. 9,825 kg!

Hiss!

Wang Xu was shocked by himself. How was this possible? He was only at level five, and when he was at level four, he only had a strength of 3,000 kg. How could his fist strength have such a terrifying change after he had only advanced one level?

9,825 kg was just a little bit away from breaking through 10,000. If word got out that this was the punch of a level-five student, probably no one in the Genius Legion would believe it!

Immediately, Wang Xu rushed to the cultivation room while thinking.

A moment later, a beautiful figure walked into the empty cultivation room. It was the ponytailed woman who had just tested her fist strength. She had left her clothes in the training room because she left too quickly and immediately came back to get them.

But when she saw the value displayed on the punching machine, she was stunned.

That boy… seemed to only be at level five!
