Chapter 55 A Second Awakening By Chance
55 A Second Awakening By Chance
After reading all the students’ information, Ning Shi returned the file to Yun Moxiang.
Yun Moxiang was still angry about the earlier matter and left without a word.
At 9:30 A.M., the freshmen tournament’s fifth round of competition was about to begin.
In order to create an atmosphere of competition and to set off the martial spirit in the school, a temporary arena had been built on the Pangu field today.
The competition would no longer be held at the same time, and every match would receive the attention of the entire school.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the competition for the top 16 officially began.
Jiang Bichao went up for the first round. Most fights between students were very monotonous. After exchanging a few moves, Jiang Bichao punched his opponent’s chest.
The other party lost their combat ability instantly.
With the reminder from the official investigation he read earlier, Ning Shi looked at Jiang Bichao’s battle again and discovered his plan.
Jiang Bichao was extremely tall. He was almost two meters tall. Although he could exert explosive force, he was lacking in movement speed and flexibility. Therefore, his strategy was to strike after the opponent attacked.
Every time, he would deliberately expose his flaws to his opponent. After taking a blow from his opponent, he would take advantage of the moment when his opponent’s moves were used up to give a strike that was as fast as lightning. With that, he won in a single strike.
Compared to Jiang Bichao, Luo Yao’s fighting style was much purer. She relied on her strength to bully others. Her opponent was a male student who was 1.85 meters tall.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the air. He spun a few times before he finally fell out of the ring.
Ning Shi checked yesterday’s punching strength test results. Luo Yao’s punching strength was ranked first among all the students, reaching a terrifying 2000kg.
This was her result without mastering the force-exerting technique. If she had learned martial arts techniques, she would definitely be able to punch with more than 3000kg of force.
Or even more.
In terms of strength alone, she was not inferior to many Tier 3 strength-type awakeners.
An extremely petite body and an extremely terrifying strength. The two were combined into one person.
The extreme tension and contrast made Luo Yao quickly become a celebrity student.
Many of her classmates had fallen in love with her. Even her good friend, Jiang Bichao, had gained more attention.
All in all, the freshmen’s tournament still lacked techniques and highlights. In the end, Luo Yao won the championship with her monstrous strength.
Jiang Bichao lost in the quarter-finals to Zong Shangren, a handsome rich kid.
Fortunately, Jiang Bichao won the third and fourth place match and took third place.
At the end of the competition, Ning Shi, as the principal, issued urgently made certificates of honor to the top three students.
During the award ceremony, Luo Yao even made a fool of herself.
The little girl was too excited. She stared at Ning Shi with a red face and turned a blind eye to the certificate Ning Shi handed over.
The whole Hall burst into laughter.
The moment Luo Yao came back to her senses, she wanted to find a hole and hide in it. The first time she met her idol, she almost fainted on the spot.
After the award ceremony, Ning Shi said to the whole school,
“Congratulations to Luo Yao, Zong Shangren, and Jiang Bichao for being the top three in this competition. I hereby announce that these three students will become my disciples.”
“In the future, the students who perform well in the student competition will receive better training and more resources!”
Ning Shi’s words ignited the students’ passion, and a new round of martial arts practice began.
“You three, come with me!”
Ning Shi said to Luo Yao and the other two.
The three of them were intoxicated by the unexpected surprise, especially Luo Yao. She never thought that she would become Principal Ning’s disciple!
Ning Shi brought his three disciples into the multi-functional training room.
In the training room, there were all kinds of training equipment and devices that had already checked each of their body’s data.
Hao Meng had already set up all the equipment. When she saw the four of them come in, she greeted Ning Shi and asked Luo Yao,
“Student Luo Yao, when did your strength start to increase?”
Other than being a little nervous in front of Ning Shi, Luo Yao was usually an open-minded person.
“I don’t remember the exact time, but I think I was around 8 years old. At that time, grandma was old and couldn’t carry the load of tofu pudding. I thought it would be great if I could help her.”
“I tried to carry the load, but I didn’t expect to be able to easily lift the two wooden buckets filled with tofu pudding. From then on, I’ve been helping Grandma carry the load.”
“Because of this, grandma has always blamed herself, saying that I can’t grow tall because of the burden. You know, I grew especially fast when I was young and was taller than everyone else. I was 1.4 meters tall when I was 8 years old.”
Hao Meng shook her head. “An appropriate amount of weight won’t affect your growth. You can’t grow taller probably because of your nutrition. Did you not eat enough when you were young?”
Luo Yao’s face showed a trace of embarrassment. She glanced at Ning Shi and whispered,
“Yes, my parents passed away a long time ago. My family’s financial condition was average, and my grandma didn’t starve me. It’s just that I have a big appetite. I’ve already eaten twice the amount of food of children my age, but I still can’t fill my stomach.”
“So you’ve been enduring your hunger?” Ning Shi couldn’t help but ask.
Luo Yao nodded her head lightly, “Yes, it was very hard at first, but as time went on, I got used to it.”
Children of the poor take care of themselves early. Ning Shi looked at Luo Yao with admiration. She was too sensible.
She had been helping her grandmother with chores since she was young. In order to reduce her grandmother’s burden, she had even endured her hunger.
Hao Meng was holding a tablet in her hand and recording with an electronic pen as she said, “You should have awakened naturally when you were very young. As a strength-type awakener, your appetite will increase greatly after awakening. The better the talent of the awakener, the greater the increase in appetite.”
“To a certain extent, the more you eat, the stronger you are.”
Ning Shi immediately asked, “This isn’t right, is it? I’ve seen Luo Yao’s file. She was awakened after taking the awakening potion, so there should be a reaction to the ‘Luo’ substance in her body. We can try testing it out on the specialized paper.”
The reason why Ning Shi quickly retorted was that this concerned Luo Yao’s qualification to participate in the World Young Awakener Fighting Tournament. If Luo Yao had awakened naturally, she would not be able to participate in the world tournament.
Even if she couldn’t participate in the competition, Ning Shi would still take Luo Yao as his disciple. However, he would feel regretful that his student didn’t have a stage to show off.
Hao Meng didn’t answer. She took out a blood syringe and said to Luo Yao, “I need to draw some blood to test the reaction of the ‘Luo’ substance. Is that okay?”.
Luo Yao nodded. She found a place to sit down and placed her thin, pale, yellow arm on the table.
Hao Meng’s actions were very swift. She drew a little blood, took out a testing paper the size of a middle finger, and explained.
“The surface of this test strip is covered in lead powder. The ‘Luo’ substance has a special characteristic. After leaving the human body, the ‘Luo’ will deteriorate. When the deteriorated ‘Luo’ comes into contact with the lead powder, a chemical reaction will occur, producing a great amount of heat.”
“If student Luo Yao’s body has a reaction to the ‘Luo’ substance, this test paper will burn after coming into contact with her blood.”
After saying that, Hao Meng dipped one end of the test paper into the blood.
In an instant, smoke rose and the test paper began to burn. The faint purple flame shook.
Hao Meng had already expected this outcome. She turned around and looked at Luo Yao with an interested expression, which made Luo Yao’s hair stand on end.
Ning Shi knew that Hao Meng’s occupational disease was acting up. Big shots in scientific research always wanted to study new phenomena.
He coughed and touched his nose, saying, “According to the reaction of the ‘Luo’ substance, Luo Yao did indeed awaken after drinking the drug.”
Hao Meng didn’t answer Ning Shi directly, but asked Luo Yao, “How much do your grandma’s tofu pudding and wooden bucket weigh?”
Luo Yao shook her head. “I haven’t measured it specifically. Grandma’s tofu pudding is very delicious, and her business is very good. That’s why the wooden bucket is bigger. The wooden bucket is about 70 to 80 centimeters high, and the diameter is this big.”
Luo Yao gestured with her hands to indicate a distance of over a meter.
Ning Shi immediately understood Hao Meng’s meaning. Such a large wooden bucket and there were two of them. The weight was estimated to be more than a hundred kilograms.
An 8-year-old child lifting a 60 kg heavy object with such ease, exceeded the limits of the human body.
Hao Meng continued, “Generally speaking, an 8-year-old child can lift a 5 to 10 kg weight. Luo Yao’s strength has already exceeded the limits of an ordinary person.”
“The reason why I kept asking her about this was that her current strength has also exceeded the strength limits of ordinary awakeners.”
“For strength-type awakeners, their physical fitness will increase rapidly within two weeks of awakening. After two weeks, the growth will slow down and they will enter a bottleneck period.”
“According to the previous records, the one with the greatest increase in strength was Wu Si from the Black Bear Kingdom. His fist strength had reached 1200kg.”
“What was worth mentioning was that Wu Si was a boxer himself. He had a good body and knew how to exert force.”
“Since Luo Yao’s awakening until now, in about two weeks ‘time, she had already achieved a punching force of 2000kg. What kind of concept was this?”
“Brother Shitou, think about it. Those who can enter our school are the most talented young strength-type metahumans in the country. Out of more than six million people, 5000 of them were selected to enter our school.”
“During yesterday’s test, only 249 people had a punching force of 750kg and above.”
“With this comparison, you’ll know how abnormal Luo Yao’s strength growth is.”
It had to be said that as a big shot in scientific research, Hao Meng was very sensitive to data. When Ning Shi saw Luo Yao’s fist strength, he would only think that she was gifted, but Hao Meng could detect the difference.
Hao Meng looked at Luo Yao, who was a little nervous from her words and smiled.
“Luo Yao, don’t be nervous. With Principal Ning Shi here, no one will dare to hurt you. According to my speculations, you should be the first person who had awakened twice in the history of human awakeners.”
“When you were very young, you naturally awakened once.”
“Due to insufficient nutrition, your body has been in a state of insatiable hunger for a long time. After taking the awakening potion, your hungry body absorbed the medicinal effects of the awakening potion, and by chance, you underwent a second awakening.”
“That’s why your power is so abnormal.”
Luo Yao shook her head, “I’m very strong, but compared to the principal, I’m not worth mentioning. Miss Hao Meng, you saw the principal’s performance at the opening ceremony, right?”
“He lifted a 30-ton bus so easily. He’s so strong!”
Luo Yao complimented Ning Shi, and Hao Meng laughed happily. The distance between the two of them was shortened.
“Brother Shitou’s strength has already reached Tier 8. He’s the strongest person on Saturn. You can’t compare to him.”
“Excluding a few talented individuals, strength-type Awakeners could achieve a punching force of 400kg to 1000kg after two weeks of awakening. This was the normal value of a Tier 1 strength-type Awakener.”
“Like other types of awakeners, a Tier 1 strength-type awakener’s body would also be exhausted after using the explosive increase in strength.”
“After reaching Tier 2, one’s punching power would range from 1500kg to 2000kg. The body would have adapted to the increase in strength and could use great strength at any time.”
“After entering Tier 3, your fist strength will increase to between 2500kg to 3000kg. Most of them have already mastered a powerful force-exerting martial art technique. The best among them can burst out more than twice their body’s strength for a short period of time.”
Hao Meng put away the tablet and specially reminded her, “Fist strength is only one of the key factors in a battle. Body speed, reaction, flexibility, and other qualities are all very important.”
“Luo Yao, I’ll focus on monitoring your growth and recording the special traits of a second Awakener.”
Meanwhile, Ning Shi’s focus was very strange. He asked Hao Meng.
“Now that Luo Yao’s body has awakened for the second time, if she continues to take in sufficient nutrients from now on, will she still be able to grow taller?”
Ning Shi, who had read Luo Yao’s information, knew that Luo Yao had always felt inferior because of her height.
Hao Meng could feel Ning Shi’s kindness, but she wasn’t sure.
“Before Luo Yao, there has never been anyone who has undergone a second awakening, so everything is unknown.”
“From a scientific point of view, every awakening was an opportunity for the body to evolve. In theory, as long as she had enough nutrition, she should be able to grow taller.”
“It’s just that I can’t say the exact value.”
Hearing Hao Meng’s words, Luo Yao’s eyes lit up and she immediately hugged Hao Meng’s arm.
“Miss Hao Meng, I want to grow taller! Don’t worry, I’ll cooperate with your research. As long as I can grow taller, I’ll do anything you want!”
