High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Chapter 90: Shocking Numbers! Did You Eat the Mythical Spirit Fruit?

660KG.

The moment the numbers appeared, the entire room fell silent for about a second.

Then, two completely different voices exploded at the same time.

"Pshaw, it's nothing special! Seventy kilograms less!"

"That's it? That's it? Not even seven hundred! What the hell are you pretending to be?!"

"Wait! Wait!" A bespectacled boy suddenly grabbed one of the students who was still making a fuss next to him, his voice cracking, "Dude! Can't you guys use your brains?!"

"Who is Su Chen? He's a holdout!!!"

"Although he has improved a lot recently, his previous punching power... seemed to be less than four hundred!"

"I remember it was 367 kilograms!"

"What data is this? From several months ago?"

"No! It was the joint entrance exam for ten schools! Just two weeks ago!"

"What?! The ten-school joint exam? The ten-school joint exam from two weeks ago?"

"Um!

'

"You fucking tell me... he went from 367 to 660 in just two weeks? Almost doubled???"

The boy who was just making a fuss had his mouth open, but he couldn't utter a single word.

While everyone was still frantically discussing the data from the first punch, Su Chen had already unleashed his second punch.

With this punch, he mobilized even more spiritual energy.

With the added power chain of the Overlord Body Technique Iv3, the power of the Mountain-Opening Fist increases exponentially.

Three acupoints on the arm, Tianquan, Quze, and Zhengmen, resonate simultaneously!

The fist made a short, explosive sound as it pierced the air.

"Bang--!!!"

701KG!

Holy crap!!!

This shout wasn't from just one person; it came from at least twenty people simultaneously.

"What's going on??? He wasn't using his full strength just now?"

"It might be a three-stage martial arts technique, with each punch being more powerful than the last."

"Idiot! There are only three-stage palm strikes, not three-stage fist strikes!"

"Then what is this? Tell me what this is!?"

At that moment, the expressions of the people on the sidelines were more interesting than those of any of the spectators around them.

Guo Hao's eyes widened.

His lips parted slightly, then closed, then parted again.

Those eyes, which had just been full of confidence, were now filled with disbelief.

With 642 kilograms, he thought he had already won.

Jiang Yunxin weighs 678 kilograms, but he can comfort himself by saying that the other person's starting weight is higher.

But Su Chen...

This person, whose strength was less than 400 two weeks ago, actually managed to throw 701 kilograms?

It exceeded his weight by nearly 60 kilograms!

Liu Xiangdong's expression changed even more subtly.

The smug smile on his face froze slightly when the first punch, weighing 660 kilograms, came out.

But when the number 701 kilograms from the second punch appeared, the smile on his face vanished completely.

His pupils contracted slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed once, and his lips pressed into a thin line.

Those eyes, which had just been filled with composure, now held a hint of something indescribable.

Zhang Yan was completely stunned.

When she saw the first result, her heart skipped a beat.

660 kilograms, still a full 70 kilograms short of 730!

She had just been thinking that Su Chen's performance was already quite impressive, and with such a significant improvement, he could at least regain some face.

The remaining gap is something she can overcome by personally stepping onto the field and crushing Liu Xiangdong!

Before her brain could process this thought, Su Chen's second punch was thrown.

701 kg!

Based on her understanding of Su Chen, with this old cunning guy performing like this, his third punch will definitely exceed 730!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it this way.

Zhou Chengjie stood at the edge of the crowd, his eyes fixed on the numbers on the screen, his expression filled with disbelief and solemnity.

How...did you do that?

Jiang Yunxin turned her head sharply to look at Yang Xin standing next to her, her voice tightening: "Didn't you say his score this morning was 601kg?"

Yang Xin was completely stunned.

She blinked, then blinked again, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion: "I...that's what I saw. Maybe I practiced for two hours and was completely exhausted?"

Jiang Yunxin took a deep breath, slowly turned her head, and her gaze fell again on the figure standing straight on the testing platform.

He hit 601 kilograms when he was exhausted.

He hit 701 kg at his peak.

This promotion, this concealment, this cunning...

Su Chen stood on the testing platform and gently flicked his right hand.

He seemed to be waiting for something, waiting for the surrounding discussions to ferment, waiting for those who were just laughing at him to digest this number, waiting for those who had never taken him seriously to take a good look at this screen!

Then, he moved!

The third punch.

This time, Su Chen didn't throw a punch as cleanly and decisively as the previous two.

He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

The residual spiritual essence of the Water Elemental Fruit was still exerting its last bit of heat within the body.

The tiny meridians that had been opened up in the cultivation room that afternoon were now transmitting spiritual energy with unprecedented efficiency!

Four acupoints on the Ren meridian—Jiuwei, Juque, Zhongwan, and Qihai—resonate simultaneously.

Three acupoints on the arm, Tianquan, Quze, and Zhengmen, are fully activated.

The Du Meridian, which is not yet activated, is the main meridian that connects the spine and runs through the body's Yang energy, and it is also pulsating slightly at this moment.

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

The power surges up from the soles of the feet, passes through the calves, knees, and thighs, and converges for the first time at the waist and hips.

Then it travels up the spine, through the thoracic vertebrae and shoulders, merging with the spiritual energy flowing from the arms.

The entire chain of power in his body was stretched to an unprecedented limit in that instant.

Then-

"Bang-!!!"

The sound of that punch hitting the tester was as muffled as a clap of thunder.

The tester vibrated violently, and the numbers on the display jumped wildly.

Then... freeze!

735KG.

The entire stadium was completely silent.

That silence wasn't the same "shocked silence" that Liu Xiangdong had when he typed 730.

It was a deeper, more absolute stillness, like everyone holding their breath at the same time.

Yang Fan stood there with his mouth agape, frozen in place as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

Liu Yongchao, who was next to him, bobbed his Adam's apple three times, but couldn't utter a single word.

The two exchanged a glance.

No one spoke!

Because they didn't know what to say.

I don't know what words can express their feelings at this moment!

On the stage.

The silence was broken by an ordinary class teacher.

"What...what's going on?"

Lei Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 5, jumped up from his chair, his eyes fixed on the numbers on the electronic screen below the stage.

He turned to look at Zhou Qingguo, the homeroom teacher of Class Six, who was sitting next to him, his voice filled with undisguised shock: "Old Zhou, what's going on??? How...how did he do that? Was he hiding his abilities before?"

Zhou Qingguo was completely stunned.

His brain truly went blank at that moment.

Su Chen was a student in his sixth class.

He watched Su Chen climb up the ranks from the bottom of the grade.

From grade 10 to grade 11, from grade 11 to grade 12...

从高三第一次周考的589名，到十校联考的534分—371名，再到上周的596分—年级136

name.

He thought that was Su Chen's breakout period.

But now, this student he has been watching closely has unleashed a punch with a force of 735 kilograms!

This is definitely in the top five of the grade!

No! He's most likely fourth in the grade!

Zhou Qingguo's mind went blank.

But precisely because the system crashed, his face showed no unusual reaction—no shock, no confusion, no bewilderment.

To outsiders, he simply looked calmly at the audience, as if he were watching something he already knew would happen.

Several homeroom teachers nearby asked a series of questions.

"Old Zhou? Old Zhou! Say something!"

"How much strength did he have last time? This increase is too exaggerated!"

"Did your class secretly give him extra help? No way! It should be regular tutoring."

Zhou Qingluan finally came to his senses.

He coughed, picked up his thermos, and slowly took a sip.

Then, in an extremely calm, even somewhat cryptic tone, he uttered a few words: "It's a secret, I can't say."

Upon hearing this, all the homeroom teachers around were stunned.

secret?

What secret?

Two weeks ago, a student's strength was less than 400 kilograms, but two weeks later, he hit 735 kilograms.

The difference between these two cannot be explained by simply saying "train hard".

Could it be some kind of special constitution? A family tradition? Or some kind of resource channel they don't know about?

The homeroom teachers exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.

Lei Yi slowly sat back down in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest.

His gaze shifted from Su Chen to his own student Liu Xiangdong, and then back to Su Chen.

Lei Yi shook his head slightly, suppressing the thought in his mind of "if only I had recruited him into Class 5 back then".

You can't force a relationship to be sweet!

What a fine cabbage! I regret that Old Zhou stole it!

Zhang Zhenshan, the homeroom teacher of Class 7, suddenly chuckled.

His laughter wasn't loud, but several of the homeroom teachers nearby heard it.

The homeroom teacher of Class 3 turned his head and asked in confusion, "Old Zhang, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Zhenshan shook his head, his gaze falling on Zhang Yan, who was standing below the stage with her arms crossed and a wide grin that almost reached her ears.

His tone carried a hint of meaning: "Nothing much. It's just that... tonight might be quite interesting."

"Is this even a possibility?? Yi Qi is already in an uproar!"

offstage.

Su Chen stepped down from the testing platform.

His pace remained unhurried.

The people around him automatically made way for him.

Those who had been mocking him as a "clown" just moments before now fell silent. Some slunk away, and no one remembered the people who had been watching the spectacle.

Some people immediately started to change their expressions.

"I remember you mentioned Qifu, right? He submitted 596 papers in this week's test, ranking 136th in the grade. Compared to the ten-school joint exam, that's an improvement of over two hundred places!!! How can you all underestimate him?"

"What?! He's that good at weekly tests?"

"Nonsense! Didn't your teacher mention him? I'm from Class 7, and our homeroom teacher used him as an example to give us a thorough dressing-down. We couldn't even lift our heads or breathe properly."

"Holy crap! I didn't know that! If I had known, I would definitely have supported him! Who does Liu Xiangdong even bother with???"

"You guys are such opportunists!"

"Nonsense! I didn't say a single word from beginning to end. I've always supported Su Chen, okay?"

"Damn it! Shameless! I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

"Hehe~ You just don't know his grades. If you knew he did so well on this week's test and improved so much, would you question his behavior? Of course not!"

"Yes! Yes! Anyone who can get into the top high school, who has an intellectual problem?"

"Damn it! I really regret it! I regret not recording this, recording your faces."

"Me too! I always felt that some dogs were barking quite loudly just now, but now I'm just pretending it never happened."

"So, given the current situation, who's going to win that million-dollar bet?"

"It's definitely Su Chen! Do I even need to think? I can figure it out with my toes."

"Yes, Su Chen is the king of speed! His speed boost is far greater than his strength."

As Su Chen stepped off the stage, his gaze passed over Guo Hao.

Guo Hao's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

His 642 kilograms are nothing to brag about compared to Su Chen's 735 kilograms.

Su Chen's gaze finally landed on Liu Xiangdong.

Liu Xiangdong could no longer maintain his composure.

His lips were pressed into a thin line, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.

It was neither anger nor fear.

It's something more complex...

It's like someone who's always been confident in their ability to stay afloat, suddenly discovering a fish much bigger than they imagined swimming underwater, which jumps out and swallows them whole.

Su Chen looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Are you satisfied with this result, Liu Xiangdong?"

Liu Xiangdong's eye twitched. In the past, they would at least maintain a peaceful facade, but this time, his tone was sharp and direct!

He was silent for about two seconds, and then he also raised his hand.

"Slap~ Slap~ Slap~"

Three rounds of applause, the rhythm neither too fast nor too slow, were particularly clear in the quiet stadium.

"Very impressive!" Liu Xiangdong's voice sounded calm.

Su Chen did not respond to him.

He glanced at Zhang Yan, then at Jiang Yunxin, before turning away and preparing to leave.

He accompanied Liu Xiangdong "for fun" because he was afraid that Zhang Yan should not be wasted on this minor role.

Now that the game is over, it's time for Zhang Yan to face off against real opponents.

At this moment, Liu Xiangdong suddenly spoke up.

"Did you eat the mythical fruit?"

Su Chen stopped in his tracks.

His heart suddenly raced. But his face remained unchanged.

He also turned around and met Liu Xiangdong's gaze.

In his mind, countless thoughts flashed by in an instant.

Did Liu Xiangdong know about the Overlord Fruit?

Do not!impossible!

The transaction of the King Fruit was conducted through Zhang Yan, and only the eight people involved in the transaction knew about it.

He, Zhang Yan, Lin Xiyue, Jiang Yunxin, Yang Xin, and three other girls.

Of these girls, only Zhang Yan and Shuai Xiyue had contact with Liu Xiangdong.

These two people obviously wouldn't betray us.

Moreover, if Liu Xiangdong really knew, he wouldn't have waited until now to tell everyone!

Given his personality, Hayako brought this up the first time she provoked him.

So, he was guessing!

My weight gain was incredible; I went from 367 kg to 735 kg in just two weeks, more than doubling.

This kind of increase is hard to explain using normal cultivation, elixirs, and martial arts techniques.

At his current level, the Meridian Opening Realm, it was impossible for him to fuse with the Spirit Pearl.

Therefore, the only reasonable possibility that can cause a person's strength to increase dramatically in a short period of time is the Mythical Spirit Fruit!

In the early days of the apocalypse, there were countless examples of people who directly leaped to the fifth realm, the Spirit Martial Realm, by consuming mythical spiritual fruits and fusing with mythical spiritual pearls.

Compared to those examples from the early days of the apocalypse, my own improvement is nothing.

Su Chen's brain completed all the above deductions in a fraction of a second.

Then, as if pausing deliberately, he slightly curled up the corners of his mouth in a meaningful arc.

"you guess."

Two words, light and airy, as if talking about a trivial matter.

Liu Xiangdong's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not ask any further questions.

He feared that if Su Chen answered "yes" or "no," he would have already lost!

Su Chen looked at Liu Xiangdong's silent expression and didn't say another word.

He turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked at a leisurely pace toward his group.

As Zhang Yan watched him approach, the expression on her face shifted from suppressed resentment to admiration.

She skipped a couple of steps and darted in front of Su Chen, her eyes sparkling. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then felt that nothing she said would be enough.

Finally, she could only give Su Chen's shoulder a hard shove, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "You...you rascal! You're really good at hiding things!"

Su Chen's shoulder swayed as she shoved him, and he rolled his eyes: "Easy! My hand's still dazed after just three punches."

Wang Yichuan, usually a quiet and honest man, had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

He didn't speak, but simply nodded vigorously at Su Chen.

Yang Fan and Liu Yongchao squeezed through the crowd. Yang Fan grabbed Su Chen's arm, his voice cracking, "Brother Chen! You—how did you do that!?"

Liu Yongchao stood to the side, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, finally managing to stammer out, "Brother Chen—do you have some secret you haven't told us?"

Su Chen smiled, patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, and said casually, "There's no secret. Just practice! Practice hard!"

He turned his head, and Ziguang passed through the crowd, landing on the stands.

Zhou Qingguo was holding his thermos, slowly sipping his tea, a sophisticated smile on his face.

Su Chen was deep in thought.

How can this be explained?

It seems that Liu Xiangdong asking about the Mythical Spirit Fruit on the spot was a good thing for him!

As long as the matter of the King Fruit doesn't get out, it's a good thing!

Or rather...

Destroy the evidence before revealing it.

This mythical spiritual fruit can be placed in the pet space, which can be considered as destroying the evidence!

After quickly thinking it over, Su Chen looked away from Zhang Yan beside him and asked, "Have Mei Chen and the others arrived yet?"

Zhang Yan paused for a moment, then immediately took out her phone to check the messages in the grade group chat.

A moment later, she looked up, her eyes regaining their defiant gleam: "Still not here! But it should be soon."

"Okay!" Su Chen nodded, a faint smile on his lips. "Then, it's your stage now!"

Hopefully, it will reach 1,000 kilograms soon.

"Otherwise, you'll have to wait to pay up!"

Zhang Yan gave a soft snort.

"Hmph! Just you wait and see!"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan muttered to herself, "It's a pity that Sister Xiyue didn't come. Otherwise, seeing this scene would have been so exciting!"
