NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Power Is Off The Charts!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Never in his wildest dreams had Zhou Hao imagined that the value on the blood essence testing device would go off the charts just because he had casually circulated his cultivation technique!
“What kind of rubbish equipment is this!”
2
Speechless, he went to the strength-measuring device.
Due to the situation just now, he didn’t dare to use too much strength and lightly hit the device.
2
Boom.
The testing tool that could withstand a full-strength strike from a martial artist shattered with a cracking sound.
Zhou Hao was stunned.
He swore that he was really here to test his strength, not to smash things.
“Someone is trespassing in our school’s training hall. Ring the alarm!” A security guard noticed the guard lying on the ground and shouted.
3
Ring ring.
1
An ear-piercing alarm sounded.
Zhou Hao didn’t even think twice before escaping.
4
He was so fast that the security guards did not even see his shadow before they realized that there was no one in the training hall.
2
The news of the trespasser at the training hall soon reached the school leaders.
It was late at night, and the principal, the dean, and the higher-ups of the school all rushed to the school.
The testing equipment in the training hall was the root of their school. If it was lost, half of the school would be gone.
“Quick, check if there is any missing equipment!” Principal Zheng shouted anxiously.
The security guard, who had checked several times, checked again. Even the dean started checking with him.
But after checking, the dean was dumbfounded.
Principal Zheng’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the dean’s reaction. He wondered if they had lost the most important blood essence testing device.
He hurried over.
Seeing that the blood essence testing device was fine, he finally relaxed. However, when he walked closer and saw the value of the blood essence testing device, he was dumbfounded.
“2000 units!”
The test indicator needle was placed at the rightmost side.
“This, this…” Principal Zheng was so shocked that he could not speak. 2000 units was the peak strength of a high-level martial artist.
The most outstanding student in the school, Xu Ling, had only gotten 300 units.
“Principal, look at this.” The dean pointed at the strength-measuring device.
Principal Zheng hurried over and stared at the highest value on the testing machine.
“13,000 kilograms.”
4
Similarly, this was also the limit of a high-level martial artist. However, this didn’t mean that the other party was only as strong as a high-level martial artist at his peak. It was just like how people would score 100 points on a test because they could only score 100 points, while others scored 100 points because the highest score on the test was only 100 points.
1
It was obvious that in this situation, the person who had tested his strength on the devices was the latter.
Principal Zheng took a deep breath. “Could it be that a high-level martial artist secretly came to our school to test his strength?”
Principal Zheng couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Why would a high-level martial artist come to their school to test their strength? If they had wanted to test their strength, surely they would go to the Martial Artist Union or the Underground Alliance’s merchant shop to test it accurately.
“Captain Wang, did any school teachers come over tonight?” The dean thought of the school teachers and quickly asked.
The security captain shook his head and said hesitantly, “The teachers didn’t come, but a student who claims to be in year three did.”
“A year three student?”
Principal Zheng and the dean exclaimed in unison.
“Right. A student wearing a school uniform and a black hat,” another security guard said.
Principal Zheng was excited. “To the security room.”
Soon, a group of school executives rushed to the security room and turned on the surveillance cameras.
1
Indeed!
It was a student wearing Qu Cheng High School’s uniform. However, due to the angle, they could not see the student’s face. Then, they hurriedly checked the surveillance cameras of the training hall.
2
It was still the same black hat student.
Principal Zheng and the dean looked at each other and saw the ecstasy on each other’s faces!
Blood essence value of 2,000 units.
Strength value of 13,000 kilograms.
No matter which value it was, it represented the limit of a high-level martial artist.
3
Principal Zheng and the dean would not be surprised if a senior martial artist who had been living in the wilderness outside the city reached such a standard.
But now, the strength supposedly belonged to a year three student!
This simply refreshed their understanding.
“Currently, among all the high schools in the nine bases in the country, the most outstanding student is the direct descendant of the Cheng Family, and his strength is that of an intermediate-level martial artist!” The dean said word by word.
Principal Zheng’s face was filled with abnormal excitement. He took a few deep breaths and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“A genius, a peerless genius!!”
The dean also nodded heavily. “He reached the limit of a high-level martial artist in his third year of high school. He is definitely an unparalleled genius that was born after Planet Earth had gone through so many changes for the past hundred years!!”
2
“Most importantly, such a peerless genius belongs to our Qu City High School!”
Principal Zheng seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. When he heard the dean say Qu Cheng High School, he trembled with excitement.
4
He had been a high school principal for decades and nothing out of the blue had ever happened.
When it was almost time for him to retire, an exceptional genius had suddenly appeared in the school.
How could he not be excited?
2
“Principal, the most important thing now is to find this peerless genius of our school and think about how to handle this matter.” The dean was much calmer than Principal Zheng and said in a low voice.
2
As soon as Principal Zheng heard this, his excitement gradually calmed down.
After all, the surveillance camera had not captured the student’s face at all.
Moreover, the emergence of a peerless genius in the school was a huge matter.
They had to think carefully about how to handle this.
After some serious consideration, Principal Zheng turned around and looked at the other higher-ups and security guards. He said in a low voice, “No one is allowed to leak what happened tonight. We will announce it after we find the super genius.”
The other higher-ups and security guards nodded.
But everyone knew deep down…
How could such a huge matter be kept hidden?
