Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

"Four hundred and eighty-two, not bad, that's good enough."

Scarface nodded and picked up his notebook to make a note.

"Next one, hurry up and come over!"

As he watched the people in front of him step forward to be tested one by one, a hint of impatience flashed in Wei Xiu's eyes.

He doesn't want to waste a single second right now.

It's not just about the 700,000, but also about making myself stronger before the finals!

Just as the bearded man finished recording the data and the next person was about to step forward...

Wei Xiu walked straight through the crowd to the front.

Moreover, he didn't walk towards the grip that tests elemental power.

It's right in the center of the force gauge, the impact resistance target used to test punching power!

This caused many people to look at him strangely.

Similarly, testing one's elemental power is the most convenient, as it directly reflects a person's strength.

As for testing strength... you have to produce some terrifying numbers to demonstrate your abilities.

However, without a good martial art to rely on, many people are actually unable to effectively convert their Yuan energy into power.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Wei Xiu took a deep breath and approached the machine.

With a firm landing, his wide sleeves were instantly stretched taut by his bulging muscles!

There were no fancy moves, not even any martial arts techniques used!

It's just a basic, pure straight punch!

"Bang!!!"

A deafening explosion, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded throughout the underground space!

The pure steel target, which was at least ten centimeters thick, was visibly dented by half a fist's width after this punch!

The display screen connected to the force gauge instantly flashed red, and the numbers skyrocketed like a rollercoaster, finally settling on a number that left everyone dumbfounded!

1024KG!

A terrifying punch with a force exceeding one ton!

At this moment, the entire underground space fell into a deathly silence!

The bearded man, who had just been full of sarcasm, now had his mouth agape enough to fit a light bulb, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back!

He believed he could achieve that number with the strength of a quasi-martial artist, but that would require using martial arts techniques!

But this kid actually managed to get such a number just by brute force!

That kid's got some nerve for his age!

To everyone's astonishment, Wei Xiu slowly withdrew his fist, his calm eyes behind his sunglasses showing no emotion.

"I think I passed? When does it officially start? I have things to do."

Scarface was staring at the numbers on the force gauge, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets!

One thousand and twenty-four kilograms of punching power!

These are absolutely not the statistics that an ordinary high school student could produce!

This kid is either already a quasi-martial artist, or his physical abilities have reached an abnormal level!

Regardless of the type, they are all extremely rare and superior instruments for drug testing!

"Brother, impressive skills!" Scarface's impatience instantly turned into enthusiasm as he rubbed his hands together and approached.

"What should I call you? You'll have a name in the underworld from now on!"

Wei Xiu slightly turned his head, avoiding the smoke exhaled by the other party, and said in a cold voice:

"Yu. Just call me Yu."

Let's just use the codename from the Tianwu simulator, so we don't forget it when there are too many names.

If this deal goes through, I'll come back again.

"Jade?" Scarface paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"Good, Brother Yu, that's impressive!"

"Don't rush, we'll start right away after everyone else has been tested!"

After saying that, he took out a crumpled notebook from his pocket, turned to the latest page, and carefully wrote down the character "jade".

Then, three more words were heavily marked at the end.

"High-quality product!"

……

The test continues.

A dozen or so burly men took turns trying, some cursing and swearing, others gritting their teeth and turning red in the face, but the final results were uneven.

The three men, each with less than 400 Yuan Power, were ruthlessly blasted away by Scarface.

"You can't even meet the entry requirements, going in is just a death sentence. Get out! Don't waste my time! Don't let me see you again!"

In the end, eight people remained, making a total of nine including Wei Xiu.

Scarface closed the notebook, tucked it into his pocket, and walked toward a passageway in the corner.

"Wait here, I'll go get someone!"

Wei Xiu leaned against the wall, arms crossed, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality he kept an eye on the direction of the passage with his peripheral vision.

Before long, footsteps approached from afar.

Scarface reappeared, but this time, he was followed by someone.

Wei Xiu raised an eyelid slightly.

This is a woman in her early thirties, wearing a gray office lady suit made of expensive-looking fabric, with black sheer stockings and a pair of high heels.

He exuded an urban elite aura that seemed completely out of place in this gloomy underground space.

But what shocked Wei Xiu the most was...

I've seen this face before!

That's the same Anlei Group representative who threw 300,000 yuan in cash in front of Lin Yao on the bus that night and forced her to sign a gag agreement!

"It was her..."

Wei Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses, and his heart sank considerably at that moment.

Since it's this woman, it means I'm going to test a drug that's exactly the same as, or even more terrifying than, Lin Yao's father's!

The woman completely ignored the lewd gazes of many people in the room, calmly walked to an operating table, placed her briefcase on it, and opened it.

Several people in white coats who had been waiting nearby immediately surrounded them and carefully took out glass vials containing a dark red liquid from the box.

The liquid was extremely dark in color, and it did not let in any light even when the room was brightly lit.

Just looking at it gives one a burning, oppressive feeling.

Scarface held the crumpled notebook in both hands, hunched over, and walked to the woman's side. He pointed to a line of text and whispered a few words, then deliberately gestured towards Wei Xiu with his lip.

The woman's gaze followed his direction and swept over.

Those extremely cold eyes, as if looking at a string of data, lingered on Wei Xiu for no more than two seconds before looking away.

There was no extra expression, no interest whatsoever.

It was as if Wei Xiu was just a numbered experimental vessel, nothing more.

"You can go now," the woman said to Scarface without turning her head.

"Yes, yes, you're busy, you're busy."

Scarface immediately retreated with a fawning smile, and before leaving, he obsequiously closed the passageway door.

The atmosphere in the underground space suddenly turned chilly.

The woman walked up to Wei Xiu and the others, glanced around, and then spoke in the same indifferent voice as she had on the bus that night.

"I am the person in charge of this drug trial, and I am signing this agreement with you on behalf of the client."

"The drug you are testing is a new type of Yuanli activator being developed by a large pharmaceutical group. Its purpose is to enhance Yuanli output efficiency and bodily functions by stimulating the body's Yuanli network."
