10: Chapter 10 The Poet Holds the reins! Is Chen Lin still going to play?

The third floor of the Testing Building.

Although it was night, those who came for special training were geniuses, and among them were many hardworking individuals.

Chen Lin's arrival quickly attracted the attention of some people.

Especially those who had gone to the cafeteria for dinner and seen Chen Lin slap Su Qing away.

"Isn't that the freshman who just arrived today? Chen Lin, right?"

"That's him! One against four in the cafeteria, and the best part is that his mouth is like it's been smeared with honey—every time he opens it, he's just spewing trash!"

"Awesome, he knocked down four people just half a day after arriving! Provoking Sun Hao, who's in the top twenty of the camp's combat power—this is too wild!"

"Hurry and go see what his strength is."

Discussions exploded instantly. The students who were originally practicing or testing all stopped what they were doing, their gazes sweeping over in unison.

Moreover, more and more people gathered around.

As soon as everyone heard it was Chen Lin, they all rushed over.

Chen Lin ignored the people around him and walked straight into a strength testing room with a green light on.

The testing room was not big, about twenty square meters.

Both sides were made of high-strength transparent glass to allow people outside to watch.

In the middle stood a silver-white strength tester, looking like an oversized punching bag.

Its surface was covered in dense sensors.

A screen hung on the wall, displaying real-time data.

Chen Lin walked up to the strength tester and loosened his wrists.

First, he would test his base strength.

He took a deep breath, planted his feet in a horse stance, and coiled power into his right fist—he punched out!

"Bang!"

The tester vibrated violently, the numbers on the screen jumping crazily before finally settling on—

[ 687 ]

...

???

"Holy crap! 687? This is just a base strength test! It's actually this high?"

"My God! Look at his aura; he's already at Qiling Stage 6??"

"Wasn't he at Stage 5 at dinner time? Now he's at Stage 6? This is too ridiculous!"

"Normally, a Qiling Stage 6 using Source Energy enhancement is only between 600 and 650, right?"

"Right! My brother is at the peak of Qiling Stage 6. Using Source Energy, his full-power strike is only 642. This Chen Lin hit 687 directly, almost forty points higher than the average!"

"This foundation is too solid! For an average person at Qiling Stage 6, being able to stabilize at 600 is already good. He actually exceeded it by so much. No wonder he dared to slap Su Qing away in the cafeteria; it turns out he has real skills!"

"Exactly! If his base strength is this fierce, if he used Source Energy enhancement, wouldn't his strength break seven hundred directly?"

"700? Oh my beans, no wonder he can fight above his level!!"

"..."

The onlookers widened their eyes!

Clearly, Chen Lin's strength had shocked them!

At this moment, the Emotion Harvesting System popped up messages frantically.

In just a few seconds, it added 300 Emotion Points to Chen Lin.

Inside the room, Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

Is Emotion Harvesting this fast?

Adding the previous 400, doesn't that mean he can level up again?!

Qiling Stage 7?

Chen Lin curled his lips.

He had discovered that this system was too awesome.

Letting him level up was like riding a rocket!

Since it was so effective, he would do it again!

Chen Lin stepped back, closed his eyes, and mobilized the Source Energy within his body.

This time, he wanted to try it while fully utilizing Source Energy.

He opened his eyes and threw a punch!

"Boom!"

The tester let out a muffled sound, and the entire machine slid back half an inch!

The numbers on the screen jumped wildly—

[ 849 ]

...

"Holy crap, 912? Is this human?"

A burst of exclamation erupted from the crowd. Several students even rubbed their eyes, unable to believe the number displayed on the screen.

"Hitting 912 strength at Qiling Stage 6? That's already more than three hundred above the average, right?"

"That's not right! A peak Qiling Stage 9 using full power is only about 950. He just broke through to Stage 6, and he's almost catching up to a peak Stage 9?"

"How thick must this foundation be? What did he grow up eating?"

"Terrifying! Too terrifying! No wonder he could slap Su Qing away with one palm. Su Qing only has a strength of six hundred-something; in front of him, it's really not enough to look at!"

The discussions rose and fell, and more and more people gathered around. Even the people in the adjacent testing rooms were alarmed and ran over to watch the excitement.

In the crowd, a student wearing a gray training suit had a grave expression.

His name was Zhao Yan, one of Sun Hao's friends, who happened to be training in the Testing Building that night.

Seeing Chen Lin hit a value of 912, his heart skipped a beat.

Something was wrong!

Very wrong!

Hitting over nine hundred at Qiling Stage 6—this is no longer a question of being a genius; this is a monster!

In a novel, he would definitely be the protagonist!

Damn it, Sun Hao provoked a person like this for a woman!

Zhao Yan was numb.

No...

A person like Chen Lin should never be offended under any circumstances!

Seemingly having decided something, Zhao Yan immediately pushed the person beside him and whispered:

"Quick... go find Sun Hao!"

"Tell him to treat Chen Lin with caution; if not, come over to apologize and make friends."

The person came back to his senses, nodded, and turned to run outside.

...

[ Emotion Points + 50 ]

[ Emotion Points + 50 ]

[ Emotion Points + 50 ]

[ Current Total Emotion Points: 1460 (Can level up twice) ]

System messages kept popping up, and the smile on Chen Lin's lips grew stronger.

In just a few minutes, the Emotion Points had reached 1460!

With a little effort, he could level up three times!

Strike while the iron is hot, do it again!

...

On the other side.

Li Yang, Wang Chong, and Zhou Hai arrived at Sun Hao's dormitory and told Sun Hao about Chen Lin in the Testing Building with fawning expressions.

Sun Hao playfully patted one of them on the shoulder,

"I know you three."

"You were beaten by Chen Lin in the cafeteria at dinner."

"Telling me the news now, you want to use a borrowed knife to kill. You want me to deal with Chen Lin?"

"Heh. Good idea."

The three of them were so scared they almost peed themselves.

"No, no! Brother Sun, you've misunderstood! We really are here to report the news!"

Sun Hao watched their cowardly appearance, and his smile deepened.

"Alright, stop pretending."

"It is what it is; I'm not going to hit you."

He stood up, loosened his neck, and it made a cracking sound.

"Borrowing a knife, so be it."

"A mere Qiling Stage 5 Chen Lin is just trash in front of me, Sun Hao."

"I can crush him with one finger!"

"What's more—"

Sun Hao's eyes turned cold:

"Who does that Chen Lin think he is? Daring to touch my darling Su Qing?"

"I will definitely settle this grudge!"

Saying this, he stood up.

But before Sun Hao could walk out of the dormitory, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A student ran over in a hurry.

"Brother Sun, it's bad."

"Chen Lin, with a Qiling Stage 6 cultivation, hit a strength of over 900 in the strength testing room!"

"His strength is approaching Qiling Stage 9!"

"Zhao Yan asked me to come and tell you, you might as well go and apologize to Chen Lin."

???

Sun Hao: How much, over nine hundred?!

Is this Chen Lin human?

No, you're at Stage 6, hitting 900 strength—are you even playing fair!
