Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 16 Explosive
Lin Ye didn't do much preparation. After the proctor nodded to indicate that the test could begin, he simply stood still, took a deep breath, and then threw a punch.

[Normal Attack LV5]!
Lin Ye did not invest the precious skill points he gained from leveling up into this most basic skill.

But after more than ten days of relentless, high-intensity leveling and monster-slaying in the ruins of the abandoned city, with thousands upon thousands of swings of the staff and punches, he managed to raise this skill from LV1 to the current level cap of LV5 through sheer proficiency.

At this moment, a casual normal attack from him can deal final damage equivalent to 120% of his base strength.

Therefore, this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable punch contains power that is basically equivalent to some well-practiced basic martial arts techniques.

"boom!"

A deep, resounding bang exploded in the empty and noisy stadium, its powerful sound instantly drowning out all the test noises from the surrounding venues.

The proctor responsible for recording Lin Ye's scores was so startled by the sudden loud noise that his hand trembled violently and he almost dropped it.

The heavy punching target, cast as a single piece from a special alloy and capable of withstanding a violent impact of over a thousand kilograms, was violently thrown backward by Lin Ye's seemingly casual punch!
Beep beep beep...!
At the same time, the numbers on the huge LCD screen directly above the punching target were flashing and jumping wildly.

The final number was set.

567 kg.

"Test Site 3! An instrument malfunction has occurred at Test Site 3!"

"Technician! Inspect the equipment at test site number 3 immediately!"

"Candidate Lin Ye, please stay where you are and do not leave! We are preparing for the retest!"

After the initial shock, the proctor in charge of the area immediately shouted through the communicator on his chest.

His voice was urgent and incredulous, drawing the attention of other students and proctors nearby.

Lin Ye himself was also slightly surprised.

Even though they are both normal attacks, there is a clear difference between a fully charged attack that draws on all the power of the body and a casual strike like this.

Even so, the damage from a single, casual punch he delivered was more than double what it was two weeks ago.

Notice requiring a retest.

Chen Meng, who had been waiting on the sidelines, immediately turned his attention to this.

He frowned. As the homeroom teacher of Class 7, he naturally had to be responsible for any situation his students encountered in the examination room.

Soon, a technician in blue overalls came running from the other end of the venue, carrying a toolbox and panting.

He connected a portable testing device to the punching bag, and his fingers flew across the light screen, sending a series of complex data streams flashing by.

A few minutes later, he asked in bewilderment, "All the core components of the instrument are normal, the reading curve of the force sensor does not show any logical errors, and there is no problem with the machine itself."

The proctor was taken aback when he heard this.

He glanced at the registration form in his hand again, and finally said to Lin Ye, "This student, although there is nothing wrong with the instrument itself, the data is a bit too large. According to the relevant regulations, you still have to undergo a retest."

Chen Meng's face instantly darkened, revealing his displeasure.

Since the instrument is working properly, it proves that the previous results were valid. Why do we need to retest?
This was not only a waste of precious exam time, but also a veiled challenge to his student in front of everyone! After finishing his inspection, the technician wisely stepped aside.

The proctor continued to explain calmly and respectfully, "Mr. Chen, please understand our work. If a candidate's test data differs significantly from their past archived records by more than a threshold, according to the examination procedures, we must conduct at least one retest."

"This is to ensure the absolute accuracy of every score and the fairness and impartiality of the exam. If your student truly has the ability, then taking the test again would be a perfect way to prove themselves, wouldn't it?"

Chen Meng glared at the proctor with his sharp, tiger-like eyes.

He was a strict and unsmiling teacher at the school.

But outside, especially when it comes to his students' honor, he is a notoriously unreasonable and fiercely protective teacher.

However, he ultimately suppressed his anger and did not lash out on the spot.

This is the scene of a joint preliminary examination, under the watchful eyes of everyone. He cannot allow his impulsive actions to have a negative impact on the students.

He simply walked up to Lin Ye, patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, and didn't say much, only giving him a firm look full of trust and encouragement.

Lin Ye nodded solemnly to the teacher.

He knew why the proctor was so insistent on making him retake the test.

Because the electronic registration form in the other person's hand clearly recorded his scores in every mock exam and diagnostic test from the first year of high school to the present.

In his most recent record, his punching power barely exceeded 200 kilograms.

The current figure of 567 kilograms is far too disparate, exceeding the normal range of strength growth, and naturally arouses suspicion from others.

He is here today to shatter all doubts and questions!
With double confirmation from the technician and the proctor, Lin Ye's retest began again.

This time, he was a little more serious.

Stand with your feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, lower your center of gravity slightly, and draw your breath inward from your dantian. In an instant, your aura undergoes a subtle change.

Power comes from the waist and hips, and the force is like a dragon awakening, running up the spine segment by segment, instantly transmitted through the extended shoulders and arms, and finally penetrating the fist without reservation!
"boom!"

Another muffled thud, even more resounding than the last one!
The entire punching pad trembled violently from the impact!

The numbers on the punching bag screen jumped wildly again, but this time, the jumping was much more stable, and finally settled steadily on a new number.

612 kg!
The instant I saw this number.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Meng's usually tense lips.

Surprise!

What the hell is a surprise? This is a fucking surprise!
This number not only far exceeds the admission standard of Wuhan University of Science and Technology by nearly double, but it is also basically on par with the top students in Class 1!
Just as everyone's attention was still focused on Lin Ye, an even louder uproar and heartfelt exclamations suddenly erupted from Test Site No. 4, not far away.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Lin Ye saw a familiar tall figure. She was wearing a tight black training uniform, and her neat ponytail drew a crisp arc behind her head as she slowly retreated from the punching bag.

is her?
