Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: What a Broken Machine, One Punch Wrecked It!

A huge punch strength testing machine was pushed over.

“This is a punch strength testing machine with a maximum limit of 1500 pounds,” Chairman Chen said.

“Long Aotian, let’s test your punching strength first!”

For Chairman Chen, his son Chen Ye could not possibly know powerful friends at this stage. Being able to befriend a third-tier strongman was already impressive enough.

So, in Chairman Chen’s view, this Long Aotian’s comprehensive strength was at most not exceeding the third tier.

The others watching the scene shared the same view. Because, although this young man had a loud name, he looked too young, probably not over twenty years old. How strong could someone so young be? Only Chen Ye.

Staring at the punch strength testing machine in front of him, his face was conflicted.

Although he wasn’t sure how much force he could exert with a full punch, it definitely wouldn’t be something the 1500-pound punch strength machine could withstand.

If it were any other testing facility, Chen Ye wouldn’t mind breaking it. But now, this was his old man’s territory. Breaking things here, even if the Chen family didn’t have to pay for it, would still make Chen Ye uncomfortable!

“Chairman Chen, what’s the maximum power of the punch strength testing machine here?” Chen Ye asked.

Chairman Chen was taken aback, though he answered truthfully, “It’s 4500 pounds.”

4500 pounds? Chen Ye thought that should be enough, right? Even if his strength exceeded 4500 pounds, it shouldn’t be by much, not enough to break the machine.

With this in mind, Chen Ye asked, “Chairman Chen, can I use the 4500-pound machine to test my punching strength?”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were quite a few sneers from the crowd. It seemed they were mocking Chen Ye for overestimating himself?

Chairman Chen didn’t object, saying, “The 4500-pound punch strength testing machine is fixed in place and cannot be moved. Since you want to try… there it is.”

Following Chairman Chen’s direction, Chen Ye saw a large steel machine not far away, fixed in place. He walked over without saying a word.

Seeing the machine secured by thick steel bars, Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Then he stood in front of the punching target and asked, “Do I hit here?”

Chairman Chen nodded, “Yes.”

Chen Ye began to prepare. Many in the crowd couldn’t help but comment quietly when they saw this scene.

“Where did this impulsive kid come from? Doesn’t he know that the 4500-pound punch strength testing machine is meant to test fourth-tier strongmen, and it has to be a fourth-tier strongman with strength attributes?”

“He chose such an arrogant name. Could he be a fool?”

“Maybe he really has the strength?”

“It’s impossible. I’ve seen the faces of almost all the fourth-tier strongmen in the country. This kid looks unfamiliar, and he’s so young…”

…

Chen Ye’s mental strength had long since improved. Under the influence of his mental strength, his hearing was also extremely keen. So even though the crowd’s comments were very quiet, he heard them clearly.

Of course, Chen Ye didn’t care what these people said. At this moment, his fists clenched, already fully charged.

The next moment, Chen Ye threw a punch. The testing room seemed to darken.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion resounded in the testing room, like thunder, ringing in everyone’s ears.

Even those who were watching were left dumbfounded. They didn’t even see how Chen Ye struck.

A burst of fire flashed by. In the scene, only Chen Ye remained, still in the punching position.

As for the 4500-pound punch strength testing machine fixed to the ground, it had flown far away and crashed into the wall, turning into a pile of scrap metal, emitting sparks continuously.

It was wrecked by Chen Ye’s punch…

Silence, the entire testing room seemed like a paused movie. Everyone remained stunned, in utter shock.

Those who were just discussing Chen Ye were all dumbfounded…

Even Chairman Chen looked at Chen Ye in amazement. Originally, he thought that his son’s friend would be at most a third-tier.

Unexpectedly, he brought in a nuclear bomb. The power erupted by this Long Aotian just now had already surpassed Chairman Chen.

Of course, Chairman Chen was not a strongman who purely relied on strength. His ability to become a fifth-tier was largely due to his status as a true martial arts master, which contributed greatly to his comprehensive strength.

After the shock, Chairman Chen’s brows furrowed deeply, his expression becoming serious.

Where did this young strongman named Long Aotian come from? How come he hadn’t heard of him, even though his strength attributes were close to the fifth tier?

Moreover, how did his son know such a strongman? Or was the other person getting close to his son for some ulterior motive?

“Um… Chairman Chen, I’m really sorry for breaking your machine,” Chen Ye said awkwardly.

He just wanted to test how strong he was by giving it his all. He didn’t expect that even the 4500-pound machine couldn’t withstand his full punch?

Hearing Chen Ye’s words, Chairman Chen’s serious expression immediately turned into a smile, switching effortlessly.

“It’s okay, this machine is old anyway. I’ll have headquarters send over a new punch strength testing machine. It’s said that the upper limit has reached 7000 pounds. Long Aotian, you can try it next time.”

“Alright!”

Chen Ye agreed readily, but he was thinking that he probably wouldn’t come next time. Because with his current rate of strength growth, even 7000 pounds wouldn’t hold up!

At this moment, the surrounding crowd gradually came back to their senses, and then, with awe-filled eyes, they looked at Chen Ye as if he were a monster.

No wonder this kid dared to take such a flamboyant name, dared to test the highest limit of the punch strength machine; turns out, he really had the strength!

Chairman Chen added, “Long Aotian, although we can’t continue with your punching strength test now, it’s certain that you definitely exceed the standard of the fourth tier… You said your agility and physique are also good? Do you want to test them?”

After just a moment of thought, Chen Ye agreed.

“Sure! Let’s test it.”

Testing agility and physique shouldn’t break anything, so he could test them with confidence.

Then, Chen Ye went to a hundred-meter track to test his speed first.

Without hesitation, he stood on the starting line, slightly bent over, ready to go.

At this moment, the crowd, no longer dared to look down on Chen Ye, all watched seriously.

Bang!

The sound of the starting gun.

Boom!

The sound of Chen Ye starting. The two sounds almost rang out simultaneously.

The moment Chen Ye started running, the plastic ground under his heels was dug into a big pit by the force of his start, flipping the ground…

Looking at Chen Ye, he was like a rocket, almost breaking through the finish line with just a blink of an eye, almost crashing into the wall because he couldn’t stop…

Faster than a whirlwind!

Not long after, the monitor screen next to it displayed the data Chen Ye had just run.

1.3 seconds, a hundred metres in 1.3 seconds!!

You have to know, this is a hundred-metre race, and it takes some time to accelerate from a standstill to reach maximum speed.

In other words, Chen Ye’s true running speed would surpass the previous figure.
