Because of the awakening of the spiritual master, Wei Wen's warrior strength had soared to 6,400 kg of punching power.
This increase was expected; after all, upon awakening, a spiritual master experienced a significant enhancement in physique and overall strength. However, every spiritual master typically had only one chance for such a substantial boost.
Wei Wen had already undergone an awakening once, leading him to a newfound level of power, yet the idea of a second awakening was beyond his imagination.
But the system's reminder couldn't be ignored. If there was a chance, he was determined to explore it.
"Sisi—"
As Wei Wen focused, genetic energy flowed steadily into his body through the Baihui points on his feet, palms, and the top of his head.
"The rate of absorption seems to be faster today, much like when I first awakened as a spiritual master," he noted, a glimmer of realization sparking in his eyes.
Cosmic energy surged into Wei Wen's body through five channels, igniting every cell to fervently devour the magical genetic energies surrounding him. The influx of energy sent waves of exhilaration coursing through him, and he felt as if his entire soul was resonating with the power.
His sea of consciousness expanded, engulfed in a swirling mist that danced around him. At the center of this mist floated a dark golden sphere, slowly rotating like a celestial body. As it spun, it emitted streams of mist that multiplied rapidly, filling the void with an aura of strength.
Typically, the release of mental power was a gradual process, but the speed at which Wei Wen's mental power was emitted was astonishingly rapid. It was evident that he had genuinely experienced a second awakening.
When the realization hit him, Wei Wen felt momentarily stunned. Yet, as clarity returned, a thrill of excitement washed over him. No matter the correctness of this situation, it was undoubtedly a boon for him.
The second awakening had unlocked a pathway for the floodgates to burst open, allowing the dark golden sphere to continuously release spiritual power. This not only heightened his mental faculties but also further transformed his physical abilities.
"Boom!"
Wei Wen's fist shot out with a force that shattered the air, sending a shockwave rippling through the room.
"I'll head to the Extreme Martial Arts Gym tomorrow to put this newfound strength to the test," he decided, anticipation bubbling within him. He was eager to see just how potent his current abilities had become, especially after experiencing the effects of this unusual second awakening.
Though he lacked formal testing, Wei Wen had honed a keen sense of control over his strength as a warrior. He estimated that his power had surged by roughly 1,000%, giving him the potential to deliver a punch with over 10,000 kg of force!
In the realm of warriors, a strength of 4,000 kg was considered the minimum for a senior warrior, while 8,000 kg marked the threshold for a junior general-level warrior. However, these figures were merely rough standards, as true strength in today's world was often assessed through one's achievements in defeating formidable monsters.
Wei Wen understood that physical prowess was just one component of being a powerful warrior. Mastery of techniques and skills could often overcome sheer brute strength, and he was determined to refine both his physical capabilities and his mental prowess.
With a final focused breath, he felt the dark golden sphere pulsating with energy, affirming the newfound strength coursing through him. Tomorrow would be the day he proved to himself just how far he had come.
Of course, it's a bit far-fetched to say, but after this second awakening, Wei Wen's warrior strength has reached the level of a junior warrior (apprentice level 4).
Before the spiritual power is exhausted, the strength of a spiritual master is two levels higher than that of a warrior, meaning that Wei Wen is now a high-level warrior spiritual master.
Although it's unbelievable, this is a good thing for Wei Wen, no matter how you look at it.
At five o'clock the next morning, just as dawn broke, Luo Feng rushed to the Extreme Martial Arts Gym in Yi'an District.
He hadn't received his quasi-martial artist certificate yet, so he used his "senior martial arts student" ID card to enter the advanced student teaching building.
"Madman! First off, congratulations on passing the quasi-martial artist exam!" a senior student from the martial arts school said, looking at Luo Feng in surprise. "But why are you here so early?"
Luo Feng's nickname, "Madman," had existed for quite some time, likely since the day he defeated three senior students.
"There's a warrior's actual combat assessment on August 8th, so I need to prepare in advance," Luo Feng replied with a smile. "How did you guys find out that I'm a quasi-martialist?"
Not many people knew about his recent success in the quasi-warrior examination.
"The teacher mentioned it during class yesterday," the senior student explained. "Wei Wen, you, and Brother Yang have all become quasi-warriors."
"Especially since I just confirmed it with Wei Wen," he added with a grin.
"Wei Wen?" Luo Feng smiled at the thought.
Not only had he cultivated his genetic power on the first day, but he had also awakened as a spiritual master.
Facing Wei Wen, the target he wanted to catch up to, Luo Feng felt a sense of relief.
Suddenly, he heard a loud howling sound coming from upstairs, startling him.
"Which master is making such a loud noise?" Luo Feng wondered, intrigued.
Without wasting any time, Luo Feng transformed into an afterimage, racing up the stairs toward the fourth floor.
Only quasi-warriors were allowed on the fourth floor, but since Wei Wen was now a warrior, he could enter freely.
Luo Feng, having also passed the quasi-martial arts assessment, slipped past the old man on duty and successfully made his way to the fourth floor.
"Huh?" Luo Feng was taken aback when he saw a lone figure in the martial arts training hall. "Wei Wen?"
In the martial arts training hall on the fourth floor, Wei Wen stood before the boxing strength testing machine, contemplating, "It shouldn't break, right?"
He took a deep breath and adjusted his stance.
Then, with a powerful swing, Wei Wen threw a punch in an arc, exuding immense force.
Boom!
A low sound resonated like a drumbeat, causing the boxing target to vibrate violently.
Moments later, a line of data flashed across the boxing strength testing machine's display: "10,081 kg."
An ordinary truck weighs only a few tons, so it was easy to imagine how powerful Wei Wen's punch was.
One punch is enough to make someone reincarnate.
"Oh, the increase is pretty much what I expected," Wei Wen said with a smile as he glanced at the number.
"Damn, Wei Wen, did you make that howling sound just now?" Luo Feng exclaimed, astonished.
He walked toward Wei Wen, and as his eyes fell on the display screen of the boxing strength testing machine, he was stunned by the data.
"10,081 kg?" Luo Feng stared at Wei Wen, feeling as if Wei Wen had transformed from a monster into an ordinary person. "Is this really the punch power you generated?"
After absorbing the original energy of the gene and awakening, Luo Feng had a rough estimate of his strength level, believing his punch strength to be around 3,000 kg. As for the power of a spiritual master, it should be about four times that, approximately 12,000 kg.
Reaching this level of power, Luo Feng thought he might have surpassed Wei Wen, and he felt a sense of relief in facing him.
However, upon witnessing Wei Wen's punch, Luo Feng realized he had celebrated too soon.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?" Wei Wen replied with a light smile.
It was a simple way to provoke Luo Feng, but judging by his expression, it seemed quite effective.
Luo Feng wasn't one to give up easily. Despite the impressive boxing stats, he still felt determined to catch up and surpass Wei Wen; after all, he was still a spiritual master.
