Chapter: 1152
Paul was a former leader of Balerno martial arts. He was also a formidable martial arts grandmaster.
His status was comparable to the leader of the Boulderthorn branch masters. Even the present leader of Balerno martial arts was his student.
These were more than enough to show his influence within the martial world.
"Hmph, we’ll let you go this time on behalf of Sir Paul. But you won’t be so lucky next time!" Desmond sneered.
"You guys got lucky!" Gianna seethed. Although upset, she couldn’t make a scene with the Hill family backing them.
"Dustin, just focus on the main task. Don’t bother with them," Patrick advised in a lowered tone.
They came here to be assessed. Things would get complicated if a deadly incident involving Noel’s disciples were to occur.
Even if Dustin remained unharmed, he would be disqualified from the tournament.
"I understand." Dustin nodded.
Then, he looked at Scarlet. "Kid, put your sword away. We can’t kill anyone here."
"Alright." Scarlet nodded obediently.
Her cold and aggressive demeanor disappeared completely. Her attitude toward Dustin and the rest was really different.
"
‘Alright, let’s not waste time. Get ready for the strength test."
Seeing that the fight was over, the staff from the martial arts alliance began giving instructions. "The rules are simple. No one is allowed to use internal energy. Only physical strength is allowed.
"Hitting one thousand pounds is considered a pass. Two thousand pounds and above is considered good. Five thousand pounds and above is considered excellent. Those who hit ten thousand pounds and above can advance immediately."
"Now, who is going first?"
"Me!" Gianna approached the strength tester machine confidently.
The strength tester machine was made from metal. It had a flexible punching pad right in the middle designed to absorb and measure the force of the strike.
Upon delivering a punch, the display screen would present the amount of strength.
"Guys, I’ll try it out for you first." Gianna took a deep breath before delivering a powerful punch, smashing the punching pad.
With a heavy thud, the punching pad slammed into the tester machine. At the same time, the red digits on the display screen fluctuated rapidly and settled at 1250.
"No way! A woman punched 1250 pounds of force? That’s stronger than me!"
"She’s impressive to hit those numbers without internal energy."
Whispers and murmurs spread among the crowd, expressing their surprise. It was impressive to achieve those numbers as a young lady not older than 18.
