Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Promoted 4 Levels in a Row

Martial Artists can communicate with each other very easily. More and more Martial Artists came downstairs from their rooms and quickly gathered in the first-floor testing hall.

Lin Zhen wasn’t too anxious either. He also planned to make a name for himself through this competition. He already had a bit of fame, and this custom gene potion event was an excellent opportunity to expand it.

When Lin Zhen arrived at the testing machine, he started by warming up for a while, which only made Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua think that he was showing off.

Lin Zhen didn’t bother arguing with them. Seeing that there were already over a hundred people gathered in the hall, he knew it was time.

Feeling his body at its peak state, Lin Zhen was ready to start.

At this moment, Zhao Liang stood beside Lin Zhen, shouting, “Lin Zhen previously had a left fist strength of 397 kg. Now, it’s time to test his left hand.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhen threw a powerful punch with his left hand.

Everyone only saw the afterimage of a fist and was shocked by how incredibly fast Lin Zhen had become.

“Boom!”

The testing machine trembled slightly, an effect that no ordinary trainee could produce.

A large number flashed across the electronic screen.

“789kg!”

“What kind of result is this? Is this data from an ordinary student?”

“Is this kid a left-hander? Has he reached the late stage of a seventh-level warrior?”

“Lin Zhen isn’t a left-hander. He’s right-handed. Good heavens! How did he become so strong? How much did he improve? Who can do the math?”

Zhao Liang was also speechless, not knowing what to say.

Ignoring everyone’s reaction, Lin Zhen swung his right hand and threw another powerful punch.

“Boom!”

“794kg!”

When this number appeared, everyone was astonished. The boy’s fists were balanced, each punch almost reached 800kg, which was almost at the peak of the seventh-level.

It didn’t take long for someone to calculate the increase. Lin Zhen’s gene optimization had increased his physique by almost 99% after consuming the genetic potion.

In the entire Ice City Base City, it was rumored that some people had achieved an 87% increase with customized gene potions. However, no one in Ice City had ever heard of an increase above 90%. It was said that only a few people in the capital had achieved more than 90%.

But an increase of 99% was unheard of in history.

Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua were utterly dumbstruck, not knowing how to react to the scene before them. This was simply too crazy.

Many Martial Artists immediately started contacting their teammates, determined to recruit Lin Zhen, the super potential stock, into their team.

With a 99% increase, such a person would likely break through the limits of a level seven warrior and become a level eight fighter soon. Even advancing to the War General level wouldn’t be far off. Absolutely a genius!

As long as his nerve response was up to standard, he could be promoted four levels at once, from level three peak to level seven peak. What a leap!

Lin Zhen’s crazy performance continued.

In the punch speed test, Lin Zhen threw an insane 15.9 punches in one second, each punch exceeding 650kg, also reaching the seventh-level peak.

As for his final nerve response, under Lin Zhen’s deliberate control, it reached 0.021/m, a result that blew everyone’s minds.

As long as the nerve response reached 0.01/m, it would be considered War General level. Lin Zhen’s nerve response was at the peak of a level eight fighter. Based on this alone, he would be able to hold his ground against level eight fighters.

Only Lin Zhen knew that after consuming the gene potion, his Spiritual Power had improved again. Now, the Silver Middle Stage was already more than half-way completed in his mind, and his nerve response had officially entered the War General Stage!

However, he didn’t want to reveal this secret yet. It was always good to have an extra trump card.

Under the shocked gaze of the onlookers, Lin Zhen approached Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua. “You two should fulfill your promise. Five million each. Not a penny less!”

With extremely ugly expressions on their faces, Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua had never imagined such a result. Who would have thought that a customized potion could have such an enormous effect? If they knew this, they would have chosen the customized potion without hesitation.

“It must be a coincidence! Lin Zhen, you’re just a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse, that’s why your increase was so significant. No one could possibly have a 99% increase!” Fu Chengya’s eyes were red with envy, as this result placed him in third place among the current batch of trainees.

“Whether it’s a coincidence or not is none of your concern. Worry about whether you have enough money in your card instead. Hand it over and don’t let people look down on you!”

Lin Zhen didn’t bother being polite with the two of them. In front of everyone, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and transfer the money to Lin Zhen’s card using their phones.

Soon Lin Zhen received a message. His card had received two transfers of five million each, totaling ten million.

“Thank you!”

With a smile, Lin Zhen turned to leave.

At this moment, the Martial Artists outside hurriedly surrounded Lin Zhen, ready to recruit him.

Lin Zhen waved his hand: “Elders, don’t rush. Brother Zhao Liang has been treating me well since I joined the Martial Arts School. I have decided to join his team out of gratitude.”

He then turned to face Zhao Liang: “Brother Zhao, is there a vacancy in your team? If so, could you save a spot for me?”

An ideal Martial Artist team consisted of five people. Lin Zhen knew that Zhao Liang’s team currently had four members, with one spot to be filled soon. They planned to recruit from among the students. Lin Zhen had decided early on to join Zhao Liang’s team.

As expected, Zhao Liang revealed a gratified smile, patted Lin Zhen’s shoulder, and laughed: “From the first day I saw you in No.6 Middle School, I knew you were a good one. Our team will enter the Wilderness Area again in five days, and you’re welcome to join us.”

Upon seeing this, the other Martial Artists showed understanding smiles despite their regret. Valuing loyalty was a Martial Artist’s virtue. No one could fault Lin Zhen’s decision, only admire it.

With the matter settled, Zhao Liang initially wanted to invite Lin Zhen for a drink. Unlike when Lin Zhen first joined the Martial Arts School, this time he wanted to interact with Lin Zhen as an equal since they would be comrades in the future.

Although Lin Zhen was still only a Warrior, Zhao Liang believed that it wouldn’t be long before Lin Zhen became a level eight fighter, and advancing to the War General level wouldn’t be far off. Given Lin Zhen’s age, his growth potential would be vast, and there might be a day when he would surpass Zhao Liang. Befriending him now was definitely the right choice.

However, Lin Zhen didn’t go out. Instead, he said to Zhao Liang, “Brother Zhao, I’m afraid I don’t have time now. In three days we’ll be negotiating with Zhang Huai and the others. In five days, I’ll enter the Wilderness Area with you guys. I want to use this time to practice my spear skills.”

Zhao Liang nodded: “Alright, you can train for a few more days. In three days, I will call the other members of our team to meet and get to know each other. Then we will go find Zhang Huai with you, and we must make that kid bleed! They must know our Demon Hunter team is not easy to mess with!”
