At this moment.
Outside the testing room, the ghost exorcists who had been there earlier all followed, crowding around the glass window to peer inside.
The situation outside the window.
Zhang Wei paid it no mind, his gaze fixed on the punching bag before him.
"Captain Huang, do I just need to punch this once?"
Huang Qingshan had just introduced it to him.
This punching bag was used to test physical strength. The staff had already prepared a strength testing punching bag suitable for him.
As everyone knew, no matter how strong a 10-year-old child was, they wouldn't be as strong as an adult. Naturally, the strength testing standards would be different, and the testing equipment would also be different. One couldn't possibly use an adult punching bag for a child, as they wouldn't be able to move it no matter how strong they were.
The punching bag before him, according to Huang Qingshan, was a strength testing punching bag suitable for ghost exorcists aged 20-30.
"Yes."
Huang Qingshan nodded and asked the staff member beside him:
"Xiao Zheng, did you increase the intensity of the strength testing punching bag as I requested?"
Others didn't know Zhang Wei's situation, but Huang Qingshan did.
Zhang Wei's strength was far beyond that of his peers. He had once snapped the arm of a Doubled-Armored Corpse from Xishuangbanna with his bare hands.
"Yes, I increased the intensity of the strength testing punching bag." Staff member Xiao Zheng operated the computer for a moment and then turned to Zhang Wei, "Mr. Zhang Wei, you can begin the test."
"Alright."
Zhang Wei nodded slightly.
He walked up to the punching bag and raised his left arm, clenching his fist.
[Ding! Added 2328 system points to the host's left hand]
Previously, he had used items with system points added to deal with ghosts. He didn't know what level his current physical fitness was. To avoid embarrassment and fearing he might fail the test, Zhang Wei didn't dare to hold back at all. He added all the points and went all out.
The next moment.
Zhang Wei threw a punch at the punching bag.
BOOM—————
A deafening roar, like a pressure cooker exploding, suddenly echoed throughout the room.
Where Zhang Wei stood, it was as if a sandstorm had erupted, swirling and scattering everywhere.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Whether it was Huang Qingshan and the staff inside the room, or the ghost exorcists outside, everyone fell silent. Their discussions stopped abruptly at this moment.
At this moment.
They all seemed petrified.
Their eyes were wide open, their gazes uniformly filled with bewilderment and shock.
"This is a joke... right, it, it exploded?!"
Staff member Xiao Zheng murmured, stunned, his eyes almost glued in place.
The strength testing punching bag had exploded.
It had been blown up by Zhang Wei's punch.
This scene.
Made them feel as if they were dreaming, but the special sand packed inside the punching bag exploding everywhere and directly impacting their minds confirmed that it wasn't a dream; it was real.
Whoosh!
The extreme silence, with Xiao Zheng's single sentence, acted like a fuse, instantly turning into an extreme commotion.
The ghost exorcists outside the room snapped back to reality.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? The punching bag exploded?!"
"Damn it, has this glass been secretly replaced with an LCD screen? Are we not seeing the situation inside the room, but are being shown special effects on TV?"
"What kind of monstrous strength is this?"
"Hey... can anyone tell me if I'm seeing a Saiyan? This..."
They were ghost exorcists.
And many were personnel from the Wei Dao Division.
Therefore, they were very clear about how sturdy that strength testing punching bag was. They had all tested it when they joined the Wei Dao Division.
Yet now...
They were witnessing something they had only dared to dream of: blowing up a punching bag.
Even Huang Qingshan was going wild.
He quickly looked at Xiao Zheng:
"Xiao Zheng, are you sure you increased the hardness of the testing punching bag?"
"I really did, I swear," Xiao Zheng raised his hand to the sky and swore.
Seeing this.
Huang Qingshan's expression turned manic.
He had thought he had already overestimated Zhang Wei's strength and had specifically notified Xiao Zheng to increase the hardness of the testing punching bag to ensure a more accurate test.
But now... he had underestimated the situation.
He had still underestimated Zhang Wei's terrifying power.
His strength was too immense. With this strength alone, he was qualified to be a Tiger Guard in the Wei Dao Division.
Just then.
While everyone was stunned by Zhang Wei's strength, Zhang Wei himself was also startled.
Looking at the sand scattered all over the floor and the scattered remnants of the punching bag.
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched.
What was the deal with this punching bag? Why was it so fragile? Was it his overwhelming strength? Or was there something wrong with the punching bag, a shoddy product?
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have gone all out with the points.
Now, it was bad.
He hadn't received the five hundred thousand yet, and he had already incurred a debt.
Immediately.
Zhang Wei turned to look at Huang Qingshan and the others, his face filled with embarrassment, and he scratched his head sheepishly, saying:
"Captain Huang, this... I'm sorry, I didn't expect this. Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
His voice was not loud.
But everyone present was paying attention to Zhang Wei and heard him clearly.
Looking at Zhang Wei's simple apology, and then at the shattered punching bag.
Everyone inwardly exclaimed, "Damn it!"
Are you sure you should be worried about paying for it right now?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a punching bag, it's no big deal."
Huang Qingshan quickly waved his hand:
"With the disappearance of hundreds of ghost exorcists in the Northeast, if it weren't for your artifact helping to save Wu Nian and the others, we wouldn't have been able to find the other missing persons. We already feel bad for not giving you a reward, so a punching bag is nothing."
He continued with a smile:
"Besides, I didn't expect you to be so strong. It was my oversight. I should have asked Xiao Zheng to increase the punching bag's strength more."
Zhang Wei understood upon hearing this: "So it's because I'm too strong? I thought it was because the punching bag's quality was too poor. That's good then."
Everyone: "..."
Listen to yourself, is this human language?
One ghost exorcist clutched his chest and exclaimed, "Doesn't Zhang Wei realize how outrageously strong he is? I feel like my heart is aching. When I tested my physical abilities before and got a sixth-tier rating, I was so proud. Now, compared to Zhang Wei, I feel like I don't know what I was so smug about. The clown was me all along."
Other ghost exorcists also chimed in.
"Just based on Zhang Wei's strength, his physical test will at least be a sixth-tier, no doubt."
"Is this what it's like to be on the Potential Rising Star list? Now I know why I can't get on the list."
"I strongly suspect that Zhang Wei isn't a Taoist priest. Could he be a private disciple of some Buddhist sect, primarily cultivating Buddhist golden bodies?"
"Hey, you guys say Zhang Wei's strength is so immense, what about his other physical abilities? What are his speed and reaction times like?"
As the last sentence was spoken.
The ghost exorcists present suddenly froze.
That's right, Zhang Wei's strength is so formidable, what about his speed and reaction times?
Uniformly.
Everyone hurried to look at the window, afraid of missing Zhang Wei's next test.
On the other side.
After Huang Qingshan finished speaking, he gestured:
"For Zhang Wei's next physical test of speed, you'll use that treadmill. The method is also very simple. You'll just run on the treadmill with all your might for ten minutes."
"Run with all my might? Captain Huang, are you sure?"
Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
With the strength he displayed by blowing up the punching bag earlier, Zhang Wei realized that he might be stronger than he had anticipated, so he was afraid he might break the treadmill as well.
