Chapter 203 Qualification Test!
Now, Long Tian, Bai Li, and others warmed up on the field, among many other students.
Most of them exuded determination, but some resigned themselves, acknowledging that only one person had successfully passed the first session—Li Yue'er.
Despite the presence of over 400 individuals, the atmosphere lacked intense competition, as some were keenly aware of their own capabilities.
Engaging in simple movements, Long Tian directed his attention to a sizable platform near field number one. On this platform rested a large stone and a prominent screen, where several individuals in black attire, alongside teachers, engaged in conversation.
Long Tian's gaze focused on the large stone. Although he was not familiar with the qualification test, he was confident it related to a punching strength test—the stone was exactly the same as in the Tianjia Pavilion.
Soon after, the discourse between the teachers and imperial officers reached its conclusion, prompting the headmaster to approach the microphone.
"Alright, my students, the first test is about to commence. Prepare yourselves, and may good luck be with you," he declared, his resounding tone reaching everyone present.
The students brimmed with heightened enthusiasm, fueled by the prospect of participating in the most prestigious survival competition in the Han Empire.
After a duration surpassing five minutes, the teachers descended from the platform, leaving the imperial officers as the sole presence.
Holding a microphone, one of the officers asserted, "I believe it's time to commence the test. I trust you're all familiar with your assigned numbers. Consequently, I will call your names based on these numbers," maintaining a calm yet authoritative tone.
His words permeated the students' ears, garnering responses and nods from the majority.
Observing this, the officer nodded in acknowledgment and continued to scrutinize the paper in his hand. "Alright, the initial student to take the stage is Long Tian. Please proceed forward," he declared.
Upon hearing this, a wave of surprise swept through the students, igniting conversations and murmurs.
"Oh, Long Tian is taking the lead? Surpassing 5000 pounds of punching strength shouldn't pose a significant challenge."
"He's the young master of the ancient family, practically a dragon; it must be a breeze for him."
"Yeah, I'm genuinely curious about the extent of his strength."
In the midst of the murmurs, Long Tian confidently strode towards the stage. Friends who were familiar with him extended words of encouragement and pats on the shoulder.
A beautiful blonde-haired girl, Liu Qian, also gazed at Long Tian. Since their relationship had improved, she wished him the best.
Now, Long Tian stood before the large stone, anticipation evident on his face. His curiosity about his punching strength mirrored in his expression.
On the opposite side, the imperial officer approached and inquired, "Have you familiarized yourself with the rules?"
Long Tian responded with a confident smile, "Using solely physical strength, punching strength must be 5000 pounds or above, and martial spirit is prohibited, correct?" he asked, his persistent smile reflecting his assurance.
The officer nodded, "Indeed, you seem well-informed. You can commence now," he declared.
Long Tian acknowledged with a nod, and as the staff withdrew, he locked his gaze onto the large stone with a sharp intensity.
His right hand clenched tightly, revealing veins in his muscular fist. The air around his fist felt dense, emitting an imperceptible aura.
Taking a deep breath, his narrowed eyes fixed on the stone. In the next moment, he struck the stone with his fist.
THUMP!
The sound of the punch hitting the stone resonated, causing the stone to vibrate, even shaking the stage and surprising the imperial officers.
The vibration dissipated after a short while, and on the big screen, numbers spun, capturing everyone's interest and curiosity.
Shortly after, the spinning numbers came to a halt, revealing [Punching Strength: 11991 pounds. Long Tian: passed].
Witnessing the screen, astonishment rippled through everyone, including the teachers and imperial officers. It wasn't merely a double-digit number; Long Tian's punching strength had soared to an astonishing 11991 pounds!
This extraordinary display left everyone in a state of admiration and disbelief.
"Shiiit, over 11000 pounds! That punching strength could level a building!"
"Man... That number is beyond incredible; is he truly human?"
"Hahaha, undoubtedly, the young master of the Long family—his talent is exceptional, truly deserving of the title genius."
Various sounds of admiration echoed from all directions, with even the teachers commending Long Tian's remarkable strength.
In the midst of it all, Liu Qian smiled, experiencing a sense of joy and pride witnessing Long Tian's immensely powerful punch.
Meanwhile, Long Tian wore a satisfied smile as he observed the screen. He couldn't help but recall the time in the Tianjia Pavilion when his punching strength reached around 25,000 pounds, but during that instance, he harnessed his dragon and demonic powers. Now, it was a testament to his pure physical strength.
The imperial officer promptly announced, "More than 11000 pounds! Long Tian passes! Please proceed to field number 2," he declared.
With those words, a lively applause resonated from everyone, and Long Tian simply smiled as he strolled towards field number two. Amidst the crowd, congratulations and admiration continued to be voiced. contemporary romance
After some time, he had entirely left the first field and transitioned to the second field.
The imperial officers swiftly conveyed, "Now, after witnessing such greatness, let's proceed with the next participant, Ko Bong, please step onto the stage."
With those words, a male student approached the stage.
--------------
Now, Long Tian found himself in close proximity to field number two, devoid of any students; only imperial officers occupied the space.
His attention was drawn to a room with a distinctive black box design positioned at the center of the field, unquestionably marking the location for the second test.
Upon spotting Long Tian, the imperial officers extended their welcome, "Please enter; the second test is waiting for you."
Long Tian responded with a simple smile and entered the room.
Inside, his immediate sight fell upon a spacious black marble floor, flanked by imperial officers on both the left and right.
Casually, Long Tian remarked, "Does the second test really have to be indoors like this? It seems this school received subpar facilities from the government."
No response came from the imperial officers until a middle-aged man approached. "Well, Tianzhou High School is considered the weakest institution among the 1200 martial arts schools. So, the provided facilities align with its performance," he explained.
Upon hearing this, Long Tian nodded, "That makes sense. Alright, what's the second test?" he inquired.
The middle-aged man smiled and elucidated, "The second test is quite simple. You just need to stand in the middle of the room, and you have to withstand increasing gravitational pressure every minute. There are 10 levels of gravity, and if you can maintain consciousness at level 5, you pass."
Long Tian nodded, comprehending every word from the middle-aged man. "Alright, let's do this," he affirmed.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Stand in the center, and we will commence the second test," he instructed.
With those words, Long Tian proceeded forward and halted right in the middle of the room, standing within a large circle that seemingly marked the boundary of the escalating gravitational area.
After some time, a sudden mechanical sound echoed, and a rounded apparatus descended from the ceiling, halting about 8 meters above Long Tian's head.
"Before we commence, I'd like to mention that Li Yue'er set the previous record in the second test, enduring gravitational pressure up to level 8," the middle-aged man stated.
A smile crossed Long Tian's face upon hearing this; Li Yue'er's capabilities were commendable.
"Alright, you may begin," he declared.
The middle-aged man nodded and pressed a button on the apparatus.
In the next moment, waves emanated from the machine directed at Long Tian. Simultaneously, he felt the gravitational force intensifying every passing second, yet it posed no challenge for him.
As time ticked away—30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes passed.
This time, distortions appeared in the air within the circular zone, and Long Tian, already perspiring, had to fortify his leg muscles to maintain his stance.
The 7th minute arrived, bringing 70 times Earth's gravity, causing Long Tian to strain his muscles with veins bulging.
Now, the 8th minute with 80 times gravitational pressure. Gritting his teeth, Long Tian felt internal organs ache as his muscles tensed.
Onlookers were astonished; Li Yue'er had succumbed at the onset of the 8th minute, yet Long Tian remained resolute.
Surpassing the previous record, the 9th minute commenced, and this time, Long Tian had to slightly bend his knees due to the immensely potent gravitational force, causing his entire body to tremble.
The spectators' expressions displayed escalating admiration, entirely fixated on Long Tian.
Finally, the 10th minute dawned with 100 times gravitational pressure, resulting in slight cracks in the marble beneath Long Tian and his body turning red due to the surge of blood within his body.
Some internal organs suffered injuries, but thanks to his galaxy dantian, a nebula emerged, mending them akin to regeneration.
With each passing second, Long Tian clenched his fists and bellowed, "RAAAAAAAAARGH!" His thunderous voice, accompanied by a burst of crimson aura, sent everyone backward, and the apparatus promptly shut down.
Several devices clattered to the ground, and the marble floor exhibited extensive cracks. All eyes were fixed on Long Tian, standing enveloped in a crimson aura.
A triumphant grin adorned his face as he gazed at his hands. "Finally, I've broken through!"
