Chapter 116: Lin Mo is the Number One in Xia country!



Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios



The first day of the martial arts college entrance examination had already ended.


Demon City.


The moment Yan Yimo walked out of the examination hall, she was concerned about her ranking in the entire Xia country.


As the eighth-ranked genius on the Genius List of Xia country, it was impossible for her competitors to be in one city or one place. Instead, they were the top geniuses in the entire Xia country.


“My performance today was quite normal. My results for both subjects are about the same as I expected!” Yan Yimo thought to herself. “111 points for combat technique and 106 points for punching force test. A total of 217 points for both subjects. Currently, I’m ranked 13th in Xia country.”


Yan Yimo’s ranking was actually a little low.


However, this was normal. After all, the illusion technique that Yan Yimo was best at was too niche and would not be listed as a part of the martial arts college entrance examination. Therefore, this examination was undoubtedly a loss for her.


But even so, Yan Yimo still wanted to fight for a good ranking in the entire Xia country.


“The foundation test tomorrow morning is my biggest advantage!” Yan Yimo had been cultivating steadily for so many years, and her foundation was extremely solid. “Let’s see what this random test will test tomorrow afternoon! If it’s a random test that’s more beneficial to me, I still have a chance of becoming one of the top five or even three in Xia country!”


As for being number one in Xia country…


Yan Yimo did not dare to think about it.


“Currently, Ye Yi, who is ranked first in the martial arts exam, has 122 points in combat technique and 113 points in the punching force test! He got 235 points in both subjects, pulling ahead of me by 18 points!”


The 18-point difference made her despair!


Yan Yimo was not the only one. Everyone understood that Ye Yi had undoubtedly locked onto this year’s “Xia country’s top scholar of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination”!


Suddenly—


Yan Yimo’s entire face was filled with question marks.


She looked at a message she had just received on her phone in a daze. “Lin Mo, 150 points for the punching force test?”


She quickly confirmed her personal information.


That’s right, it was the Lin Mo she had met when she went to Haicheng City.


“Well …”


“How is that possible?”


“There must be a mistake!”


A figure immediately appeared in Yan Yimo’s mind.


‘That Lin Mo who has nothing to do every day?’


The Lin Mo who fished by the school lake all day and roasted it after catching it?


That Lin Mo who could fool killers with his words?


Full marks for punching force test?


Are you kidding me? What is this?


Yan Yimo’s nose twitched reflexively, as if she could smell the familiar fragrance of grilled fish again.


However, she could not believe that a student like Lin Mo, who was obviously a bad student, would actually get full marks in the punching force test!


“Impossible!”


“Absolutely not!”


Yan Yimo knew very well that it was impossible to get full marks for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination! This was because when setting the standard for full marks, it was aimed at “not getting it”!


No one was supposed to get full marks!


In fact, to be precise, it was deliberately to prevent others from getting full marks!


In other words, in theory, there was no possibility of full marks.


Something that was theoretically impossible had been done by a “bad student”?


How could Yan Yimo believe that?


Moreover, what was even more unbelievable to Yan Yimo was that Lin Mo did not just get full marks!


The perfect score for the punching force test was 2,500 points of cell strength!


However, Lin Mo’s cell strength was as high as 3,016 points!


It was over by 516 points!


“Well …”


No matter how unwilling Yan Yimo was to believe it, this was news confirmed by the Xia country’s Martial Arts Administration. Not only did Lin Mo pass two different cell strength detection instruments and a total of three repeated tests, but he also defeated a two-star martial artist invigilator with a single punch.


“A proctor used for the punching force test in the martial arts college entrance examination?” Yan Yimo’s eyes widened. “That’s right! This does seem like something Lin Mo would do!”


After being shocked for a while, Yan Yimo finally chose to believe the news.


“What a madman!” Yan Yimo couldn’t help but think, “Full marks for the punching force test… No wonder he rejected my offer to send him to a top martial arts school without thinking!”


Yan Yimo’s previous doubts were cleared up in an instant. Lin Mo didn’t need her recommendation anymore!


“He was probably still laughing at me in his heart when I said I was guaranteed admission, right?” Yan Yimo couldn’t help but clench her fists. “Damn it!”


But soon, Yan Yimo discovered another problem.


“Lin Mo actually gave up on the combat technique this morning?”


Yan Yimo was very puzzled. Why did he give up on the exam?


“Could it be that he feels that his combat technique is too weak and can’t show it? But… with such a high punching force, no matter how weak his combat technique is, he must have already stepped into the third rank! As long as it’s above the third rank, his points will at least be above 100!”


Thinking of this, Yan Yimo was suddenly stunned.


She had discovered something very frightening!


If Lin Mo hadn’t given up on testing his combat skills, wouldn’t he have scored at least… 250 points today!?


“Hiss—” Yan Yimo gasped.


250 points! At least!


‘What does that mean?’


One had to know that even Ye Yi, who was currently ranked first in Xia country, had the highest scores in “combat technique” and “punching force test”. However, the two combined only had 235 points!


In other words…


If Lin Mo had not given up on the exam this morning, he would have crushed Ye Yi by at least 15 points!


Yan Yimo’s eyes widened. “Lin Mo is the number one in Xia country!?”


… .


At this moment, an emergency meeting was being held at the Xia country’s Martial Arts Administration.


The topic of the meeting was naturally Lin Mo’s results.


There were only three people attending the meeting: the Martial Coronation Martial Arts Bureau of the Martial Arts Administration, Director Ma Xingwu of the Genius Exploration Department, and… Elder Zijin of the Grandmaster Hall.


“Cell strength 3,016 points?”


Lin Mo’s cell strength was undoubtedly even more shocking than his punching force test results!


“How is that possible?” Director Ma still couldn’t believe it. “Due to our surroundings, isn’t there an upper limit to the strength of our cells?”


Why did the fist strength test of the martial arts college entrance examination use “cell strength 2,500” as the perfect score?


It was because there was an upper limit to the cell strength in the gravity environment of the Blue Planet!


And the value of this upper limit varied from person to person! Some people had a cell strength of less than 2,000 points, while others had just over 2,000 points. There were also some with extremely strong physical growth talent who had a upper limit of 2,100 points, or even 2,200 points!


As for those with more than 2,300 points, they almost never appeared!


It was also because of this that the maximum score for the punching force test was set at 2,500 points—it was impossible for anyone’s physical limit to reach 2,500 points! It was also impossible for anyone to get full marks for the college entrance examination!


“Therefore… Lin Mo’s 3,106 points of cell strength must have broken through the upper limit!” Chief Wu said firmly. “Generally speaking, there are two ways to break through the cell strength limit!”


The first method was to use the gravity room—since it was the gravity environment of the Blue Planet that limited the upper limit of cell strength; wouldn’t building a gravity room and creating an environment with “multi-gravity” be able to break through this upper limit?


The second method was even simpler, the evolution potion! If there was an evolution potion above A2, he could naturally increase his cell strength head on.


“Most of the gravity rooms are in martial arts universities, and they’re all lined up 24/7 to be used. They’re completely loaded! Only students from martial arts universities have the chance to come into contact with them!” Chief Wu continued, “As for the evolution potions above the A2 level, the regulation is very strict. Moreover, they’re specially made according to everyone’s DNA! We previously had a clear rule that each DNA can only be manufactured with a maximum of five A2-level evolution potions. If it exceeds that, this DNA will be locked down and can’t be manufactured anymore… Logically speaking, it’s impossible for Lin Mo to obtain a large number of A2-level evolution potions!”


“I just investigated Lin Mo’s background!” Director Ma said. “Lin Mo’s mother, Zhang Qian, is from the Zhang family in Jingdu City!”


“The Zhang family?” Chief Wu frowned slightly. “If it’s the Zhang family, they really have a way to get a large number of A2-level evolution potions!”


“It doesn’t have to be through the evolution potion!” At this moment, Elder Zijin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, “Don’t forget that in theory, there is a third way to break through the upper limit of cell strength! As long as one’s talent is strong enough to break through the norm, there is no upper limit!”


“Is there really such a heaven-defying physical growth talent?” Chief Wu and Director Ma felt that it was unlikely—after all, such a heaven-defying physical growth talent had never appeared on the Blue Planet!


“I think Lin Mo must have used some method to obtain a large number of A2-level evolution potions!” Director Ma expressed his opinion. “Of course, Lin Mo’s talent must be extremely high. Otherwise, the Zhang family wouldn’t have helped him at all costs!”


“There’s no need to rush to a conclusion!” Elder Zijin was very calm. “Whether it’s because his physical growth talent is too heaven-defying or because he secretly used a large number of evolution potions… won’t we know everything tomorrow morning?”


“That’s true!” Chief Wu said hurriedly. “The test tomorrow morning will be the foundation test! If Lin Mo really secretly took a large number of evolution potions, his foundation will definitely be unstable and his score will definitely be very low!”


“We’ll see in the morning!”


Neither Director Ma, Chief Wu, or Elder Zijin linked “Lin Mo” to Black Earth.


After all, in the eyes of most people, Lin Mo and Black Earth were two extremes.


Black Earth’s talent in combat technique was extremely heaven-defying, but his physical growth talent was extremely trashy! Even half a month ago, “Black Earth” was only a quasi-martial artist. His punching force had not even reached 1,200 kilograms!


On the other hand, Lin Mo was the exact opposite. Whether or not he had really taken a large number of A2-level evolution potions, it had already proven that his physical growth talent was very strong! Otherwise, who would waste precious evolution potions on him?


However, Lin Mo’s combat technique was quite lousy. As a result… he directly gave up on the morning’s combat technique!
