Chapter 25 You Pervert - The Demon Lord? Zhang Yan's Secret
"Wow, you pervert!"
Zhang Yan's exclamation attracted the attention of many people in the room.
Several boys who were training nearby turned around, their eyes scanning back and forth between Su Chen and Zhang Yan, their expressions becoming subtle.
Zhang Yan then realized what she had said, her face flushing red. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "No! That's not what I meant! I was talking about his grades! Grades!"
Su Chen leaned against the force gauge, his whole body aching and limp like a puddle of mud, but he couldn't help but smile: "Don't ruin my reputation!"
"you!!!"
Zhang Yan grinned, too lazy to argue with him, and turned her head back to stare intently at the number on the screen.
385KG!
Her eyes widened as if she were repeatedly confirming something.
You should know that she trained like crazy for the past two and a half hours.
Do 2000 push-ups, divided into ten sets.
2000 pull-ups, alternating between overhand and underhand grips, until my arms were shaking like a leaf.
Do 500 squat jumps, making sure to jump as high as possible each time and cushion the impact with your knees when you land.
There's also core training: plank for a total of 40 minutes, crunches for 1,000 times, side planks for 15 minutes per leg...
After a series of punches, almost every muscle in Su Chen's body was in a state of extreme fatigue.
When Su Chen finished the last set, he collapsed on the ground like a dried-out salted fish, too lazy to even move a finger.
Zhang Yan only gave him three minutes to recover.
Three minutes!
Then they dragged him in front of the force gauge and made him punch them.
In her experience, under these conditions, achieving 60% of her usual score would be considered quite good.
The result... 385KG!
This number is higher than Su Chen's best result of 375KG three days ago when he was in top form.
It's another ten kilograms!
At his peak!
At that time, he was full of energy and vitality, without any signs of fatigue.
Now, having just endured two and a half hours of hellish training, every muscle in his body was protesting.
Zhang Yan felt that her worldview had been impacted.
She remained silent for a while, frowning, her mind racing.
In her experience, after extreme strength training, being able to exert 70% of one's usual strength is already considered a gift.
Su Chen, however, achieved a total of 385KG.
That's not right.
That's completely wrong!
"You... what level is your Overlord Body Technique?" Zhang Yan raised her head, her eyes filled with an almost scrutinizing seriousness.
Su Chen thought for a moment and said truthfully, "It is indeed only at the beginner level."
"What about the Mountain-Splitting Fist?"
"Pretty much."
"That shouldn't be happening!" Zhang Yan's voice rose a half-octave, her arms crossed, her brows furrowed into a deep frown. "Both of your skills are beginner level, how could you possibly achieve this result when you're exhausted? Unless..."
She paused, looked Su Chen up and down, as if she were getting to know him all over again.
Su Chen did not respond.
He knew very well why this had happened.
The first reason is that he discovered far too many hidden acupoints.
Four days ago, although only twelve of his meridians were open, a total of forty-one acupoints were discovered.
Today, that number has become sixty-eight.
Twenty-seven places have seen price increases!
Most of these acupoints are not "activated," not infused with spiritual energy, and not formally opened.
But their locations have been found, the pathways of the meridians have been opened, and spiritual energy can flow freely between these acupoints.
Every acupoint plays a hidden role!
Even if it's just a tiny bit, all 68 points added together make for a fairly significant overall improvement.
Martial arts training is essentially an accumulation of quantity.
If one acupoint increases the effect by 1%, then sixty-eight acupoints would increase it by 68%.
Of course, addition is not that simple in reality, but the logic is correct.
The second reason is that he learned the Mountain-Opening Fist, but he experienced not only the proficiency of level 3, but also the complete spiritual energy circulation path of the third realm.
The third level of the Mountain-Opening Fist requires activating nine acupoints.
He has only truly activated one acupoint, Quze.
However, the other eight acupoints, having been continuously cleansed by the spiritual energy from the learning machine for several days, have already been stretched open considerably.
Like a balloon, it's not fully inflated, but it's already more than half full.
These acupoints, which are stretched but not fully opened, can also provide assistance.
While it's not as good as being fully activated, it's much better than having nothing at all.
Su Chen estimated that the power of his Mountain-Splitting Fist was roughly equivalent to an ordinary person activating four to five acupoints.
The third reason...
Zhang Yan underestimated his physical reserves.
His endurance, strength, and recovery ability have all steadily improved after four days of high-intensity training.
In addition, the stimulation from his learning machine has made his unactivated acupoints in a much better state than those of ordinary people, providing a greater boost.
Zhang Yan thought he was completely exhausted, but in reality, he still had a breath left in his body.
Three factors combined resulted in this 385KG!
Su Chen knew in his heart that this was far from his limit!
If you were to throw a full-force punch at your peak, you should be able to handle a weight of 440kg or more without any problem.
Each technique offers the most noticeable improvement when you first start learning; the rest requires gradual, persistent practice.
This time, he has essentially mastered both the Mountain-Opening Fist and the Overlord Body Technique! This improvement is within the normal range.
"How did you manage to do that?" Zhang Yan's voice interrupted his thoughts, her scrutiny turning into confusion. "Or... have you been hiding it all along?"
Su Chen rolled her eyes at her: "What did I hide? I've lived an upright and honest life, okay!"
He paused, a meaningful smile curving his lips.
"But you... you old fox."
Zhang Yan's expression froze for a fraction of a second.
"How...how am I an old fox!?" Her voice rose half an octave, but her confidence was clearly not as strong as before.
"Do you really want me to say it?"
"Speak!" Zhang Yan puffed out her chest, adopting an upright and righteous demeanor. "I am upright in my conduct and have nothing to hide!"
Su Chen found her expression amusing.
This girl's acting skills are really bad.
"Your Invincible Body Technique..."
"???"
Zhang Yan's eyes widened instantly, and her pupils contracted slightly.
Judging from Su Chen's expression, it was as if he were looking at a monster.
It took her a while to recover from the shock, and she said in a very low voice, "You...you really aren't that old monster in disguise? Oh my god, you wouldn't happen to be the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, would you?!"
Although she lowered her voice, some people still heard her exclamation at the end.
As soon as the words "Thousand-Faced Demon Lord" were uttered, the eyes of several people nearby all turned towards him.
Su Chen's face darkened.
Several boys around, who knew Zhang Yan and Su Chen, a regular in the top class, were taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Su Chen really wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground!
The title "Thousand-Faced Demon Lord" is extremely offensive in Jiangling City.
"It's mainly because you're stupid; you blew it out as soon as it was blown up," he said through gritted teeth in a low voice.
Zhang Yan's mouth opened and closed repeatedly.
They were blown out?
"Hmph!" She snorted loudly, turning her face away. "Well, you know... but you can't tell anyone."
"No problem!" Su Chen nodded. "But I'm curious, why are you hiding it? You're clearly so short of resources. Hiding it isn't like you."
He paused, then added with a hint of playful threat, "If you don't tell me, I'll start making a big fuss."
Su Chen was able to point out this problem because he had achieved this result after experiencing the introductory version of the Overlord Body Technique.
He estimates that his punching power limit can reach 450KG.
Zhang Yan, the Overlord Body Technique, level 6!
Her combined strength score in the joint entrance exam was 680kg, which is indeed quite high, exceeding the full score standard of the college entrance exam by a full 40%.
But given her level 6 Overlord Body Technique foundation, this score is still a bit low.
Zhang Yan bared her teeth in anger, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.
She hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Swear! Swear you won't tell anyone. Otherwise, I really won't tell you."
"Is it that serious?"
"Hmm! You're really serious!" Zhang Yan's expression was so earnest that she didn't seem to be joking. "Of course, if you feel you can't keep your word, you can choose not to listen."
Su Chen stared intently at her.
My mind was filled with doubts.
What's going on?
This little girl doesn't seem like someone who would have any big secrets.
He glanced at the panel above Zhang Yan's head out of the corner of his eye.
The number in the "Affection Level" column is fluctuating.
lv7……lv7……lv7……
A sign that your favorability rating is increasing!
Su Chen glanced at the still-flashing favorability rating.
Another promotion?!
No! It's almost level 8!
Is this the beginning of a romantic relationship?
Sharing secrets is indeed key to increasing favorability.
Su Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his distracting thoughts.
"Okay, I swear."
"Then come with me, there are too many people here."
