My cells devour all worlds.

Three to five hundred?

Four hundred and fifty kilograms?

1123KG? A Level 1 Awakened?

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that the Awakened Ones weren't as powerful as he had imagined.

Of course, he was referring to lower-level awakened beings.

At least the Niu Dazhuang in front of him did not make him feel dangerous.

Keep in mind that his strength reached several tons after completing his second mission.

Although he didn't choose physical strength and experience as his reward last time, the bonuses from being a Grandmaster of Innate Skill and a Grandmaster of Horizontal Training were still considerable, increasing his strength by at least several times.

Lu Sheng couldn't give a specific number, but he conservatively estimated it to be over ten tons, and that's just in terms of force.

Awakened beings possess a wide variety of abilities, and it's impossible to measure their strength solely by the amount of power they wield.

Unlike internal energy cultivation, strength cannot be roughly determined by the number of meridians opened.

Lu Sheng voiced his doubts, "I understand, Captain Shi, but I have a question: other types of Awakened shouldn't be tested using this method, right?"

"Of course not."

Captain Shi seemed to have misunderstood Lu Sheng's meaning. He smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid you won't meet the strength requirements and therefore won't let you take the test?"

Before Lu Sheng could speak, he began to explain himself:

"The methods for detecting different types of awakened individuals are of course different, but the testing standard is similar: it's all about destructive power."

"Level 1 Awakeners are also known as Beast-level, meaning they possess the power to fight against ferocious beasts such as tigers, lions, and bears."

"The test for a Level 1 Awakened is very simple: to independently kill a beast like this."

"Your abilities are more defensive, and your strength is unclear. If I were to put you to the test too easily, failure would be a minor issue, but developing psychological trauma would be a major one. That's why I want to see how strong you are and whether you meet the standards to start the test."

After saying that, Shi Yi looked at Lu Sheng with a grin, and said with a wicked smile, "How about it? Scared yet? Still want to take the Level 1 Awakening test?"

Unfortunately, he didn't see a trace of fear on Lu Sheng's face.

Shi Yi's smile faded. "Tsk, boring. I'm in a good mood today. Do you have any more questions? Ask them all at once."

Destructive power, beast-level, capable of fighting beasts, I see.

Hearing Shi Yi's words, Lu Sheng readily agreed, "What about other levels of Awakened? Also, Captain Shi, what level of Awakened are you?"

"You asked those questions later... never mind, you've already asked them."

Shi Yi seemed a little annoyed by the trouble, but he still began to speak:

"Level 2 Awakeners are also known as the extraordinary level. They have already transcended the realm of ordinary people. They are not afraid of small-caliber firearms and can easily kill those large beasts."

"As for Level 3 Awakeners, they are impervious to guns and cannons. Their destructive power is like cannonballs scattering the ground. They are crudely called cannonball-level, and I am at that level."

At this point, Shi Yi paused, a hint of longing in his eyes: "Level 4 Awakeners are comparable to natural disasters, such as tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, floods... capable of easily destroying a city."

"As for a Level 5 Awakener, if you can suppress a Level 4 being, then you are a Level 5."

A Level 3 Awakener, no wonder he felt threatened.

Lu Sheng looked at Shi Yi in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He estimated that he was currently only at the level of a level two awakened being, far from reaching level three.

If he were to face his opponent, he would likely be easily subdued.

After all, there are differences between levels three. Even if one is just a little bit short of a natural disaster, one is still a level three awakened being. It's just unclear what state Shi Yi is in.

I wonder if it's possible to imitate this?

The thought flashed through Lu Sheng's mind. He secretly memorized Shi Yi's appearance, preparing to try it out when he had time.

"Alright, that's all for now. Find out the rest for yourself."

Shi Yi yawned and urged:

"Now, go up there and give me a punch. I need to go back to sleep later... I have official business to attend to."

Niu Dazhuang was still standing aside, seemingly wanting to see the newcomer's strength level.

Lu Sheng no longer hesitated. He stepped forward, pulled back his fist, as if drawing a bow and gathering strength.

He also wanted to know roughly how much power he possessed.

Then I'll use only 10% of my strength.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment, then held back a bit of his strength before throwing a punch.

"boom--"

The sound wasn't as explosive as Niu Dazhuang's punch; instead, it was somewhat muffled.

Dengdengdeng-

The numbers began to jump and climb.

Shi Yi glanced at the data casually, slightly disappointed: "280KG, what a waste of your size..."

He suddenly stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, finally realizing that there was no dot between 280 and the 0 that followed.

"...2800KG?!"

Upon hearing the first half of Shi Yi's sentence, Niu Dazhuang, who had already prepared his words of comfort, opened his mouth, stammered twice, and suddenly uttered:

"Um... I haven't finished my training for today, I'll be going now..."

After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.

"..."

Shi Yi wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he burst into laughter. "Good lad, you've been hiding your true strength for a while now, haven't you?"

Lu Sheng was slightly startled; it seemed he had underestimated himself.

He went along with it, saying, "For a while."

"Looks like you've secured your Level 1 Awakening status. Come with me."

Just as Shi Yi finished speaking, Luo Tao walked over with Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan, saying:

"Captain Shi, both ladies have passed."

Yu Qingyi waved a badge with a green sprout on it at Lu Sheng, in a very good mood, "Brother Lu, have you finished your test?"

"He hasn't yet; he needs to take the Level 1 Awakening test."

Shi Yi answered for Lu Sheng.

Yu Qingyi's eyes widened slightly. "Wow, really? Brother Lu."

Lu Sheng nodded slightly.

Yu Qingyi turned to Shi Yi and asked, "Can we go with them and take a look?"

Clearly, Yu Qingyi learned something from the test she just took.

"Of course, come with me."

Shi Yi didn't care at all and led Lu Sheng and the other two to a room that was slightly smaller than the previous one.

The room was divided in two by iron railings.

Two people were standing on one side, and various kinds of cold weapons were displayed against the wall.

Behind the iron railing was a dog that was over a meter tall at the shoulder and about the size of a calf.

At this moment, the big dog was constantly moving its feet, its eyes fixed on the two people outside the fence, its sharp teeth slightly bared, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, and its throat constantly growling.

It looks ferocious and terrifying.

As soon as Lu Sheng reached the door, he heard one person say to another person who appeared to be an examiner:

"Why have the performance targets changed? What happened to that black chicken from last month?"

"You'd have been killed by others long ago. Enough with the nonsense. Are you going to take the exam or not?"

The examiner's tone was very impatient.

"I……"

The man swallowed hard, staring at the large dog behind the railing, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Just then, the dog seemed to sense something and suddenly started barking wildly.

"Woof—!"

It even lunged directly at the railing, making it clang loudly, as if it was about to leap out at any moment.

The examiner remained calm, as if he were already used to it.

But the man trembled in fear, "I...I give up."

"Fine, you can leave now. If you do this again, don't waste my time."

The examiner waved.

The man's face turned ashen. He mumbled something but said nothing, silently walking towards the exit, brushing past Lu Sheng and his group of four.

The examiner then noticed them. "Captain Shi, what brings you here?"

"Bring a new person for evaluation."

Shi Yi walked to the weapon rack and said to Lu Sheng, "Kid, take a look and pick a weapon that suits you before you go in."

Just as Lu Sheng was about to step forward, Yu Qingyi grabbed his sleeve from behind, her eyes filled with fear. "Brother Lu, are you really sure? Maybe we should..."
