Chapter 49: The Entire Campus Shaken! Sweeping Through the School!

The high-pitched voice echoed through the hall.

At the same time, golden light surged violently from the first pillar in the center of the hall.

Xu Jingming’s name, as if a supreme sovereign had descended, shone brilliantly atop the number-one ranking.

Due to Xu Jingming’s appearance, all other names on the leaderboard rippled like waves, their rankings descending one by one.

“Number one, Xu Jingming, punch force: 4589 kg.

Number two, Luo Yang, punch force: 4321 kg.

Number three, Chen Dahai, punch force: 4122 kg.

......”

This sudden scene left those who had intended to mock Xu Jingming.

Silent as if their throats had been clenched shut.

In an instant, the entire hall sank into deathly silence.

“Has the peak punch force record been broken?”

Suddenly, a voice from somewhere echoed through the hall, snapping everyone out of their shock.

Immediately, the entire hall erupted in chaotic chatter!

“Holy shit, the punch force record was actually broken?!”

“Over four thousand five hundred kilograms? Is that even human punch force?!”

“One punch and you’d turn me into meat paste—you’re telling me this guy’s a freshman?!”

“......”

Keep in mind that

Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym was built from the very founding of the Metropolis Psychic University.

It could be said that Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym witnessed the entire historical evolution of the Metropolis Psychic University!

These five leaderboards on the third floor of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym had accumulated punch force data from over one hundred thousand students of the Metropolis Psychic University.

In any era, the top one thousand on any of these lists were figures who led their times.

Precisely because of this, the higher the ranking, the harder it was to break.

The last time the record on the first pillar was broken was nearly a decade ago!

And now, the peak punch force record for first-rank psychic beings had finally been broken again!

And it was broken by a mere first-rank lower-tier freshman.

How could they not be stunned and incredulous?

Many quickly pulled out their phones to photograph Xu Jingming’s figure in the center, recording this historic moment.

Others rushed to share the news with friends and professors.

Some even posted it directly onto the Metropolis Psychic University student forum.

In the hall, some suspected Xu Jingming had cheated by using psychic abilities or combat techniques.

After all, pure physical strength reaching over four thousand five hundred kilograms of punch force was simply too astonishing.

But this claim was quickly dismissed by others.

The punch force testing machine in the center of the hall was controlled by the school’s artificial intelligence, Eva.

And it was a sub-unit meeting first-class AI standards.

If cheating had occurred, the result would have been voided immediately—there would be no announcement.

“By the way, this Xu Jingming is only first-rank lower-tier.

He hasn’t even reached first-rank peak—does that mean this record can still be broken further?”

A voice from the crowd instantly sparked another wave of heated discussion.

Right, Xu Jingming is already this powerful at first-rank lower-tier.

What would he be like at first-rank middle-tier or upper-tier?

Keep in mind that

The top ten names previously etched on the first pillar were all first-rank peak beings who had hit their absolute limit!

But Xu Jingming was completely different—no one knew his true limit!

On the other side, hearing the surrounding chatter, Liu Wentao was stunned.

He had originally hoped Xu Jingming would embarrass himself, making his own performance seem less embarrassing.

Who knew Xu Jingming was this terrifying—his single punch shattered a record held by over a hundred thousand people.

Now, his own rank beyond one hundred thousand looked utterly ridiculous.

“Bro, you’re truly my blood brother!”

Watching Xu Jingming walk down, Liu Wentao was utterly convinced:

“Brother Ming, from now on I’m following you! Wherever you go, I go!”

“That’s exaggerated.”

Xu Jingming smiled and shook his head.

In fact,

this punch had slightly exceeded his expectations.

He had guessed his maximum would be around three thousand five hundred kilograms.

He hadn’t expected it to be over a thousand kilograms higher.

“Looks like Lei Ting Dragon truly suits me.”

Xu Jingming nodded inwardly, then turned to the staff beside him:

“Breaking a record also grants academic credits, right?”

The female staff member was still dazed.

Seeing the handsome face so close, she snapped back to reality, blushing slightly:

“Of course—it’s 400 academic credits. It should’ve already been credited.”

Xu Jingming checked his phone—sure enough, a notification appeared: academic credits deposited.

Adding the 200 credits gifted by Senior Liu Ming at Professor Yang’s villa, and the 100 base credits from the school,

his student account now held over 700 credits.

“Good. If I break another record next time, will I get more credits?”

Xu Jingming put away his phone, eager to try again.

“You only get credits once for breaking a record.”

But the staff member gave him a negative reply.

He felt a pang of regret.

His strength was far from first-rank peak—he’d surely break first-rank records multiple times ahead.

“But there are four other pillars, corresponding to second through fifth-rank psychic beings.

Breaking records on those pillars works the same way.”

Xu Jingming smiled faintly—he’d already found a way to earn credits.

Meanwhile, the senior students in the hall, now calmer, approached him with smiles.

“Xu junior, this is your first time here, right? Come, sister will teach you how to use the equipment.”

“Xu junior, nice to meet you—I’m Wang Jie from third year. Call me Brother Jie.”

“Junior, our club is short on members—how about joining us? We’ve got lots of girls.”

“......”

The punch force leaderboard, though only reflecting physical strength and not psychic power or combat technique,

still implied that if someone had this much punch force, how could their other abilities be weak?

Besides, anyone who made the top ten on the punch force list was a prodigy appearing only once every few years.

And Xu Jingming had not only made the top ten—he shattered the record and became number one!

Anyone who got into the Metropolis Psychic University wasn’t stupid.

With such a promising junior, who wouldn’t want to befriend him now?

But Xu Jingming, witnessing this scene, felt his scalp prickle.

He dared not stay any longer in the public training hall and quickly dragged Liu Wentao away.

He found a private training room to complete the rest of his strength tests.

Yet he didn’t know that

the news of the first-rank psychic punch force record being broken

swept through the entire campus like a whirlwind.

Many now knew that among this year’s freshmen, there was a terrifying newcomer named Xu Jingming.

“Over four thousand five hundred kilograms of punch force—my junior’s physical strength is terrifyingly extreme.”

In a student villa, Senior Liu Ming stared at the forum post on his phone, muttering in amazement.

He himself had once challenged the punch force leaderboard.

Back then, he was a first-rank upper-tier psychic with the first level of Lei Ting Indestructible Body.

Yet he had only managed to produce a punch force of just over three thousand five hundred kilograms.

Compared to Xu Jingming now, the difference is not slight at all.

“Qiuyun, Qiuyun, look quick—this guy is so hot!”

Inside the library, Song Qiuyun, who was browsing a combat technique scripture, was quietly called by her roommate Qi Dongxia.

At the same time, a phone was handed to her.

On the phone, a young man stood tall beneath a spotlight, a pillar before him glowing brightly.

The young man was tall and sturdy, his features resolute, his eyes sharply defined—cold and clear.

“Him?”

Song Qiuyun instantly recognized him as the boy she had sensed on the road, one who radiated the aura of a ferocious beast.

“So his name is Xu Jingming, and his strength seems quite formidable...”

This was a post on the school forum, and it was quite popular.

After reading the entire content, Song Qiuyun’s beautiful eyes glowed faintly.

In that case, the unusual aura of the ferocious beast was not her imagination.

“But how did he generate such an aura?”

Song Qiuyun gazed at the figure in the image, her beautiful eyes carrying a faint hint of curiosity...

“Xu Jingming! So you’ve come to Magu too!”

“This time, I’ll reclaim every honor that belongs to me!”

Inside the villa, a young man glared at the figure in the image with resentment.

If not for Xu Jingming, he would never have lost the title of Jiangnan Province’s top scholar and become a laughingstock of Ning’an City!
