Chapter 5: Got Awakened After Being Punched Once?
"This... this is literally a one-punch man!"
"What terrifying strength is this? Although our school's testing machine is a basic version, it can at least withstand attacks below Black Iron Five Stars!"
"Even a power-type awakener can't blast the testing machine away, right?"
"Are you guys forgetting? Nan Shen is a space-type awakener..."
The entire venue was filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath, and the students in the gymnasium had completely lost it.
Jiangnan scratched his head; he hadn't expected his full-force punch to send the testing machine flying.
Was the Strength Potion this terrifying?
Jiangnan innocently rubbed his head: "Teacher... this... I don't have to pay for this, do I?"
[From Li Xiang: Resentment +999!]
[From Li Muyan: Resentment +999!]
[From Wang Tianyi: Resentment +999!]
Pay for your sister's compensation?
Is this the point?
...
Hehe? Is the principal this resentful?
He couldn't actually be making me pay for it, could he?
The invigilator's eyelids were twitching too!
He had been watching from the side just now; was this punch really something a high school student could pull off?
He cleared his throat twice to cover his embarrassment: "A few students, go bring the testing machine back!"
"Don't worry, I won't make you pay; it's our school's negligence!"
"Besides, it's about time our school got a new testing machine!"
Principal Wang's face turned completely black.
[From Wang Tianyi: Resentment +999!]
Jiangnan snickered to himself.
Teacher, don't say any more!
If you keep going, the principal is going to give you a hard time!
In a short while, a few students carried the testing machine back from the playground.
They were seriously questioning life—this thing was so heavy.
It weighed at least seven or eight hundred jin, right?
How did you manage to blast it that far?
A few students playing basketball on the playground were scared stiff!
Which big shot from senior year was this?
Blasting the testing machine from the third-floor gym all the way out here?
Scared the hell out of me...
The entire faculty and students collectively fell silent as they looked at the testing machine, which looked like it had been hit by an armor-piercing shell.
Jiangnan's punch had sent it straight through!
The display screen was flickering a bit but was still holding on!
"Black Iron Seven Stars! Attack Power: ∞!"
Jiangnan's name shot straight to the top of the leaderboard.
...
"Gasp! Am I seeing things? With such terrifying attack power, Nan Shen is only Black Iron Seven Stars?"
"Attack Power ∞! MAX!"
"Truly impressive!"
Wang Tianyi looked at the battered and broken testing machine and forced calm: "Mm... It doesn't look too badly damaged. It can still be used after some repairs."
But then...
"Boom!"
The testing machine completed its final mission, burst into a shower of sparks, and completely shut down, scrapped for good...
[From Wang Tianyi: Resentment +999!]
What's the point of repairing it now?
Principal, is being this thrifty really a good thing?
The invigilator: "I remember you awakened as a space-type ability user, so how did your physical strength..."
Jiangnan casually replied: "Ah ah! Yesterday, while I was setting up my stall at Jiangnan Night Market, someone punched me, and it awakened me again. I awakened a power-type too..."
Invigilator: "???"
Principal: "???"
Li Muyan: "What the fuck?"
This explanation was one Jiangnan had thought up in advance!
"Damn! No wonder he looked so familiar. That viral video from Weibo yesterday—the one where that guy was beating up college students with a small stool—wasn't that Nan Shen?"
"It really is! No way? A dual-type awakening?"
"Got awakened from just one punch? Is it that easy?"
Everyone in Spirit Martial Class One instantly focused their gaze on Li Muyan.
They looked as if they understood.
So that's how it was!
Yesterday, Jiangnan had cracked Li Muyan's boyfriend's head open, which was why there was that conversation earlier this morning...
The invigilator smiled: "Mm, this is your opportunity. I'll report it to the school. A dual-type awakening is one in ten thousand."
"Starting from next month, you'll be issued one more Spirit Bead per month."
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Thanks, teacher!"
After stepping off the platform, Jiangnan walked up to Li Muyan.
With a shy expression, he said: "When you get a chance, go to the hospital and tell Brother Wang thanks for me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to dual-awaken!"
Li Muyan ground her teeth in hatred.
[From Li Muyan: Resentment +999!]
Being this cheeky was really satisfying!
The surrounding classmates looked at Jiangnan with even more envy.
Getting punched and ending up with a dual-type awakening?
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
This luck was too good, right?
Should they also contact Li Muyan's boyfriend?
And have him take a swing at them too?
The invigilator: "Alright, next up, Class One, Liu Wuquan!"
"Uh..."
"For those who didn't get tested, the monthly exam is postponed. We'll conduct the test once the new testing machine arrives!"
Only then did he realize that the testing machine had been blown to pieces by Jiangnan's punch. What was there left to test?
[From the invigilator: Resentment +200!]
[From Liu Wuquan: Resentment +666!]
...
The system's resentment list refreshed wildly, and the students who missed their tests contributed a wave of resentment points to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan thought to himself that his classmates were just too adorable.
If there was a next time, he would definitely reform!
Hmm...
He'd make sure to blast the testing machine even sooner!
He was quite the troublemaker!
The monthly exam had ended early, all thanks to Jiangnan's punch.
As everyone was leaving, Li Xiang ran over and said coldly: "Don't be too happy too soon. With your trash talent, what good is a dual-type awakening?"
"You might be impressive for a moment, but sooner or later, we'll leave you in the dust!"
Jiangnan raised his fist: "What's it to you, human excavator? Is your skull tougher than the titanium-magnesium alloy testing machine?"
Li Xiang: "..."
[From Li Xiang: Resentment +888]
"Hmph! Just you wait!"
Watching Li Xiang's retreating figure, Jiangnan was absolutely delighted.
After Wang Lin, this guy had become his second big money piper, having already provided nearly 30,000 resentment points bit by bit! He'd have to take good care of this one!
That evening after school, Jiangnan rode his battered old bicycle straight to Jiangnan Night Market!
On the way, he started calculating his money-making plan!
Jiangnan Night Market, setting up a stall to sell Strength Potion!
Arriving at the spot, Jiangnan activated his space ability, and a spatial rift suddenly opened beside him.
As a space-type spirit martial artist, there might be other things he couldn't do.
But one advantage was being able to open an alternate dimension to store things.
With Jiangnan's current strength, he could only open a 3-cubic-meter space, and it didn't take much effort to maintain it.
Many of his stall goods were stored in the alternate dimension!
Extremely convenient!
He spread a square stall cloth flat on the ground and neatly arranged socks, underwear, hair ties, and hairpins.
The only difference was that there were ten extra mineral water bottles on the stall!
The bottle caps had clearly been opened, and the labels had been torn off.
On the bottle bodies, four crooked characters were written with a marker.
"Farmer's Three Punches."
This was the Strength Potion Jiangnan had prepared in advance!
"Come, come, come! Take a walk, take a look, have a browse!"
"Socks, underwear, hair ties, hairpins—super cheap!"
"Plus the ancestral Farmer's Three Punches! And it's a little sweet!"
