Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 106 Waiting for someone to punch him (Daily 10,000 words)

Wang Dong nodded, still feeling a lingering fear.

Xiao Xiao, who was standing in the anti-impact test area, was a little distracted. Didn't Wang Dong just walk this way? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye? She was hoping to create a chance encounter with Wang Dong and see if she could blush and her heart would race!

Xiao Xiao craned her neck, her little head scanning around, and saw Huo Yuhao pulling Wang Dong's fair little hand and walking away. She stomped her foot in anger.

Damn it, what are you two grown men up doing together? Huo Yuhao, you've got a name for yourself. I'll remember you.

……

Since each project only had about twenty people, once the projects were divided, there was almost no need to queue for testing.

The skinny young man in front of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong who was taking a deadlift test was named Song Qinghan. When he introduced himself, he said that his wish was to join the Soul Guidance Department, so Huo Yuhao was impressed by him.

The student named Song Qinghan almost cried when he saw the barbell plates in front of him, which were thicker than his blanket. He found two of the smallest-looking plates, attached them, and pulled with all his might. Finally, he successfully lifted the barbell, which weighed 50 kilograms with the empty bar, and his face turned red.

"Not bad, you can pull 100 pounds, that's impressive."

Xu Sanshi took the form from Song Qinghan and noted down her grades: "Don't be too anxious. Students who have been trained by Teacher Wang will at least double their grades in the end, and some may even triple or quadruple them. Grades are not very important at the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Song Qinghan immediately nodded excitedly. Although he enjoyed the life of a Soul Guidance Master, it didn't mean he didn't want to improve his physique. After all, even support-type Soul Masters pay great attention to improving their physical fitness.

"Let's try adding five slices to each side first."

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao said something, and the two of them quickly picked up a few dumbbell plates from the ground and started adding them. Song Qinghan could only watch helplessly as the bare barbell he had just been pulling was transformed into a behemoth with barbell plates stuffed on both sides in just one minute.

"The added barbell plates alone weigh 400 pounds."

Song Qinghan sighed as he watched the two of them quickly assemble the enormous barbell.

Even if I quadruple my deadlift scores under Teacher Wang's guidance, I still won't reach the starting point like him.

Wang Dong slowly walked to the barbell, took a deep breath, gripped the barbell with both hands, and the veins on his fair arms bulged. With a sudden lift, without any apparent effort, he managed to pull up the 500-pound dumbbell, and then slowly lowered it down.

"Wow, a 500-pound deadlift right after starting school?"

Xu Sanshi was also shocked by Wang Dong's results: "Can we increase them further? Maybe we can increase them even more."

"No."

Wang Dong waved his hand. He looked relaxed just now, but he had actually used at least 90% of his strength. If he added more, although he could still improve his score a little, it would be too embarrassing. No, he couldn't do this deal.

"Oh well."

Xu Sanshi recorded Wang Dong's deadlift score on the form before turning to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, how about you show us your strength?"

Huo Yuhao was a little embarrassed by Xu Sanshi's words. He picked up the barbell that Wang Dong had put on the ground and pulled it a few times, then added four more bars before he felt a bit strained.

"Not bad, 660 pounds, that's a record-breaking number. Want to try something higher? Try to break the deadlift record of 700 pounds. I doubt that even if Teacher Wang trains five or six classes of freshmen for the next time, they will have a hard time getting better results than you."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong, who tossed his head somewhat defiantly: "Give it a try. I know you're stronger now, so I'll definitely get all the records in the other events later."

With the weight increased to 700 jin, Huo Yuhao exerted his strength again. His legs were already trembling slightly, and his face turned red instantly due to blood rushing to his head. But Huo Yuhao still managed to pull the barbell up with a jolt.

Huo Yuhao held the barbell suspended for three seconds as required before putting it down, breathing heavily.

At this moment, Song Qinghan was dumbfounded. He and Huo Yuhao were about the same size, so how come this guy's strength was more than seven times that of him?!

The group quickly completed the remaining tests. It's worth mentioning that the student responsible for recording the striking power test was none other than Jiechu, who was currently hugging a super thick mat, waiting for someone to punch him.

It's not that Jiechu has any masochistic tendencies, but mainly that Shrek Academy hasn't developed a sufficiently useful strength testing device yet. They can only have offensive-type Soul Masters act as human testing devices, assessing the opponent's striking power based on the victim's own feelings and the distance they are knocked back.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. After all, according to the information he heard from Ning Ge, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would arrange a batch of soul power testing devices for new students. They only needed to punch the thick leather-covered striking area in the center of the device, and they could get their score in the next second.

According to Jiechu, although his job was a bit tough, he could earn three times the credits of others. Huo Yuhao could only sigh helplessly and quickly finished testing his strength zone results with Wang Dong before moving on to the next assessment.

In the strength zone test, Huo Yuhao basically broke all the highest records by himself, which made Wang Dong extremely envious. He was determined to redeem himself in the speed test!

Twenty minutes later.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's name all over the leaderboard in the speed test area, Wang Dong was a little frustrated. Shouldn't someone with such great strength be clumsy? How come he's faster than him too?

"Were you trying to unleash your martial spirit when you were running 100 meters just now?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Wang Dong looking so angry.

"Hmph, so you can't release your martial spirit, otherwise I could just fly up and leave you far behind."

Thinking about Huo Yuhao's bizarre running pattern—faster than a rabbit and able to maintain a steady pace—Wang Dong felt a bit powerless. This seemed quite different from the academy life he had imagined. Was he not the male protagonist among this year's Shrek Academy freshmen?

Wait a minute, those young men from reclusive sects in the supernatural tales all entered the academy in the same way, soared to great heights, and began their enviable academy life.

Why is it that things are different from what I imagined when it comes to me? Could it be that he's not the main character?

Wang Dong was filled with deep doubt.

Sometimes I really feel the difference between people is too great. An untrained adult can usually only deadlift about 100 pounds, while a skilled fitness coach can lift up to 400 pounds, which is already very rare and impressive.

However, the world record deadlift result is only 501 kilograms, which is just over 1,000 kilograms. This just goes to show that people's physical abilities cannot be generalized.
