Chapter 1020: A Fist Shatters, Terrifying Power Shakes and Astounds!_1
```
Luo Yu remained silent.
Lyu Chan thought Luo Yu was scared and teased with satisfaction,
"Kid, it's right not to fight, you're wise. Otherwise, one little punch from me and you might be dead, you know."
The girl next to her who had already given up nodded in agreement, "The terrifying strength of over 5300 kilocalories, a slightly weaker eighth-grade might just explode in an instant, how could they even take that hit."
"Being afraid of this kind of fist isn't shameful."
The worker in black, waiting nearby, didn't urge them this time and appeared much friendlier than before.
That was because Lyu Chan had shown her strength and earned their respect.
Such talents were pampered wherever they went because what the future of Great Xia needed was for these outstanding individuals to band together and protect it.
The staff gave face, but Luo Yu had no intention of doing the same for Lyu Chan.
"A duel?"
"Are you sure?"
Luo Yu asked as he walked towards the Strength Measurement Machine, eyebrows raised in inquiry.
"Are you crazy? Actually daring to challenge someone to a duel, aren't you afraid she'll beat you to death?" The defeatist girl's expression changed as she exclaimed in shock.
And Lyu Chan's eyes curved into a smile as she said,
"Young man, you are quite brave. I like men who don't easily concede."
"Don't worry. Since you have the courage to challenge me to a duel, I promise I won't hurt you."
By this time, Luo Yu had already reached the front of the Strength Measurement Machine. He shook his head and said,
"What I mean is..."
"I hope you still have the idea of dueling with me after I complete the test."
Lyu Chan was taken aback.
"What do you mean?"
The girl who had already given up was also somewhat confused, not understanding the deeper meaning of Luo Yu's words.
"Can I start now?" Luo Yu asked politely.
The staff member nodded to signal, "Just strike with all your strength at the front of the Strength Measurement Machine, and the corresponding value will be displayed and transmitted to the leaderboard on the big screen in real-time."
"Understood, thank you."
Luo Yu nodded, stood up straight, his center of gravity slowly sinking, bent his arm, and began to gather strength.
"Tsk, acting all professional." The girl who had given up tapped her head, with a smile on her lips, and she would never believe that anyone could surpass a freak of nature like Lyu Chan.
Lyu Chan, arms crossed, was very confident in her results, which not just anyone could break. After all, the Ancient Spirit she had inherited was once considered the strongest of an era.
The audience in the stands ignored Luo Yu's testing, their attention fixed on sizing up Lyu Chan and speculating about her origins and the Ancient Spirit she had inherited.
Only the stunning school goddess Diao Lingluo's gaze was on Luo Yu, who was gathering his strength for the punch.
"Is it him?"
"We'll know soon."
"Hey!"
Luo Yu finished gathering strength and let out a cold shout as he threw a punch that hit the heavy, tractioned Strength Measurement Machine squarely in the front.
Low profile?
Low profile my ass!
Today he came to the Great Capital Base Province's martial examination not knowing how to be `low profile.` Now it was time to reveal his true strength.
A corner of Luo Yu's mouth curled upward as the force contained in his fist surged wildly into the Strength Measurement Machine.
"Boom——"
The arena sounded like a thunderclap, startling everyone greatly.
Along with the gigantic booming noise, the entire massive Strength Measurement Machine shook violently. The spot where Luo Yu's fist had collided instantly deformed and sank inwards, even lifting the titanium alloy ground as it was rooted up.
The entire huge Strength Measurement Machine, before anyone could react, was blasted out like a cannonball.
It streaked across the field, leaving a trail of afterimage, driving a strong wind, and finally crashed down with a thunderous impact.
"Bang!"
The ground shook from the impact.
If the venue hadn't been vast, the Strength Measurement Machine might have smashed directly into the audience seats.
The massive roar drew everyone's eyes, and just as they looked over, they saw that in front of Luo Yu there was nothing but barren space, while the massive Strength Measurement Machine was severely deformed with a deep fist print on the front and had been knocked far away, finally crashing down heavily to the ground.
The entire place fell silent in an instant, tens of thousands of spectators speechless, eyes widening as they stared at the crashed Strength Measurement Machine. Their eyes then shifted to the youth in the cap and shades slowly uncurling his fist.
They were gaping, filled with disbelief.
After a quiet of several seconds, the whole place erupted into chaos, the noise piercing the sky.
"Holy shit..."
"What the heck???"
"What... What's going on?"
"That punch?"
"Really? A single punch blew away the Strength Measurement Machine?"
The confused and astounded voices rose and fell, the sight far more startling than when Li Mushen and Lyu Chan had earlier broken the five-thousand-kilocalorie barrier.
"This is no joke, a Strength Measurement Machine being blown away?"
"That thing stands there like a mountain, it seems that even a force of five thousand kilocalories can't move it a hair's breadth."
The continuous gasps couldn't stop as tens of thousands of spectators shifted their focus en masse to Luo Yu, not taking their eyes off him.
"He..."
"Who on earth is he?"
"Could it be..."
Some seemed to have a guess.
And Diao Lingluo's eyes shone brightly with excitement, affirming, "It's him, it must be him, who else could possess such combat power?"
"How much strength is that punch? It's terrifying."
The audience unanimously turned their gaze to the big screen.
They noticed that the big screen had changed, and Lyu Chan, who had barely held the first place for ten minutes, was knocked down.
The first place changed hands.
But there was one thing different...
"What is that?"
"Where's the name? And the strength value?"
