Chapter 253: 171, Blocking Armor-Piercing Rounds with Bare Hands_2
“Ready?”
“Fire.”
Lin Zichen said calmly.
As soon as his voice fell,
Zhu Shishi’s thoughts moved ruthlessly, firing an enhanced armor-piercing round.
“Bang!”
A deafening explosion sounded.
An astonishing scene occurred!
Lin Zichen’s hand wasn’t pierced by the armor-piercing round!
It was Zhu Shishi’s mechanical arm that exploded!
The armor-piercing round couldn’t penetrate Lin Zichen’s arm, and got stuck in the gun barrel, unable to shoot out. With no outlet for the immense impact force, it detonated inside the barrel, blasting Zhu Shishi’s fully metallic right arm to pieces.
“How is this possible?!”
Zhu Shishi’s eyes widened, her face filled with shock.
The others around were equally stunned, faces filled with disbelief.
Even an enhanced armor-piercing round was stopped!
Stopped without a scratch!
What did this mean?
It meant that Lin Zichen’s physical body had a defensive power greater than a steel plate 10 centimeters thick!
Such a high level of defense was at least at the Ordinary Ninth Rank!
And it was on the higher end of the Ordinary Ninth Rank!
Terrifying indeed!
This lad was truly terrifying!
He had the bearing of a saint in physical form!
At this moment, every person present was overwhelmed with shock, their understanding of the physical body completely shattered, witnessing the birth of a miracle.
She’d always thought Lin Zichen, who chose this path, was a fool who would regret it in the future.
But now, she started to doubt herself.
To doubt whether her father was wrong,
the Pureblood Human Path wasn’t a dead end as her father said.
Instead, it could be a hitherto unknown path of light.
If traversed, it could far surpass other evolutionary paths, leading humanity to a completely new level.
...
“Is Zi Chen really human?”
Zhang Kai doubted life itself, unable to comprehend Lin Zichen’s strength.
Back when they were in junior high in the Martial Arts Team, he, as a senior student, was utterly crushed by junior Lin Zichen, leaving him with no confidence and feeling worthless.
It wasn’t until years later, after joining the Mech God Group and being reborn as a top talent of the company, that he slowly regained his self-confidence.
Whenever he returned home for the holidays, whether it was neighbors or friends, relatives or former classmates, they would all crowd around him.
The goddess who wouldn’t give him the time of day before would now climb into bed with just a flick of his finger.
The geniuses who looked down on him now eagerly greeted him with “Bro Kai.”
This made him feel like he was the best.
At least in his past relationship circles, he was the best.
The one who made it the farthest.
However, at this moment, having seen Lin Zichen block an enhanced armor-piercing round with his bare hands, he found that familiar sense of helplessness from junior high flooding back.
Crushed back then in junior high, he was still being crushed now as an adult, feeling like they existed in different dimensions.
No matter how amazing he was in his two-dimensional world, he could never surpass three-dimensional Lin Zichen.
...
“This physical strength feels like it can compare with some of the physically weaker advanced-level creatures.”
Lu Tianrong looked at Lin Zichen on the stage, filled with shock.
He had served nearly ten years as a special training camp instructor at the Nanjiang Province military headquarters, where he had seen countless chosen sons of heaven.
Among them were the capital’s genius Li Yijin, the mechanical prodigy girl Lü Qingyu, and the strongest new recruit of the military district, Liang Sanxu... and other unrivaled geniuses of the same rank.
