Chapter 81: A Punch from Xiao Bai

Punching Power: 30 tons!

Kicking Power: 75 tons!

Beyond these, punch speed, leg speed, running speed, jumping power, reaction, endurance, resilience, and cellular vitality (i.e., recovery ability) among many other metrics showed that Clark's current strength has indeed reached more than ten times that of the last test!

As for the power of punches and kicks, this figure is obviously much higher than just ten times.

This involves a mechanical theory of gravitational acceleration. For instance, a used TT dropped from a high building can smash through a car's windshield. When both strength and speed attributes are enhanced, the resulting destructive force is not simply additive but multiplicative!

Correspondingly, his defense power has increased similarly to his offensive power.

The specific ratio is such that if Clark kicked himself at full strength, it would injure him but would not be fatal.

Such a level of defense could already ignore some small caliber handgun shots.

Now, Clark, if placed on a battlefield, would absolutely be a highly mobile humanoid tank!

Obstruct people, kill people; obstruct cars, smash cars!

Seeing Clark's latest physical test data, not only did Yi Long have a bitter smile on his face as if the waves ahead died on the beach, but even Hank Pym couldn't help but exclaim: "Your physical fitness now can definitely be considered superhuman. If we're just talking about the data, you could take on ten Captain Americas."

"Don't flatter me too much," Clark quickly shook his head and said. "Forget ten, even if I could go 50/50 with one Captain America, I'd be more than satisfied."

Of course, Hank Pym didn't know the meme behind 50/50, assuming Clark was just being modest, typical of Easterners, and changed the subject: "From what you said earlier, you lost consciousness after being engulfed by quantum energy into the Quantum Realm, and when you woke up, it was nine years later, right?"

Bringing up this matter, Clark also became serious and nodded earnestly.

Although a power boost through such a journey is great, if possible, he still hoped to understand exactly what happened.

If the method for rapid strength enhancement could be fully mastered, then Thanos would be nothing. Just replicate the process a few times, and by the time the purple titan shows up, a casual beating would suffice.

However, clearly, such instantaneous invincibility seems unlikely to fall into his lap.

After hearing this, Hank Pym fell silent for a moment before finally saying: "Over these nine years, I've advanced my understanding of the quantum realm through the notes you left. I think you might have been sucked into a time vortex, which caused you to leap over nine years in an instant."

With a scientific responsibility, Clark, after hearing Hank Pym's analysis, still said: "Is it possible that the flow of time outside is different from that within the Quantum Realm, so Mindy and I actually spent ten years unconscious in the Quantum Realm?"

Hank Pym chuckled and pointed at the wristwatch on Clark's hand.

This wristwatch, which Clark always used as a "magic wand" launcher, also had a timing function.

The kind that could record the year, month, day, and time.

Clark hadn't noticed before, but after Hank Pym mentioned it, he looked at his wrist, and sure enough, it still displayed the year 1999!

Seeing Clark's realization, Hank Pym then said: "Based on my research on the Quantum Realm, time vortexes are extremely dangerous. Once inside, any outcome is possible."

He paused, then added: "It seems your strength enhancement and Mindy's special abilities are benefits from the time vortex. But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't even think about trying it again after tasting the sweetness!"

Clark nodded in agreement to Hank Pym's advice.

Gaining energy from such a dangerous place has about the same odds as winning the lottery. The difference is, if you fail the lottery, you only lose a few dollars, but if something goes wrong in a time vortex...

Well, think about it!

"Good to have you back, don't think too much," Hank Pym finally showed a radiant smile. "Come on, let's go home. The family must be very anxious by now."

Hearing Hank Pym say "the family" instead of just "Hope," Clark suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, as he and Hank Pym and others approached the villa's entrance, they were met by an urban white-collar dressed Eastern beauty.

It was Nalan Bai, who had become more mature and charming than nine years ago.

"Clark, you liar! You promised three years, but after three years, another three years, and then another, it's been almost ten years, damn it!"

As she spoke, the aggrieved Nalan Bai already stretched out her delicate fists and unceremoniously punched Clark in the chest.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Clark was directly sent flying by Nalan Bai's punch, traveling seven or eight meters before crashing heavily against the courtyard wall and then bouncing back to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

A punch that could easily send Clark, with the strength of 30 tons, flying, just how strong is Nalan Bai? 10 tons? 20 tons? Or... even stronger!?

Receiving impression points +666 from Hank Pym!

Receiving impression points +666 from Hope Van Dyne!

Receiving from Mindy...

Receiving...

As a wave of impression points flooded in, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Especially Nalan Bai, looking at her right hand still poised to punch, began to wonder if she was hallucinating.

After all, she's a genuine weak woman!

Not only has she not undergone any genetic modification, but she also never learned the family martial arts. With her strength, let alone a superhuman like Clark, even a normal child around Mindy's age couldn't be punched away that far by her! Looking up again at Clark, unable to get up from the ground, a ridiculous thought crossed Nalan Bai's mind...

Could this be the legendary... scamming for compensation? Receiving impression points +9 from Nalan Bai!

"Hehe..." Seeing everyone stunned by the sudden turn of events, Clark finally slowly got up from the ground and chuckled: "How satisfying was that punch, did it vent your anger?"

"If you're still not satisfied, you can continue to hit me a few more times. I guarantee 100% cooperation, making it more visually impactful than the special effects in Hollywood blockbusters."

Receiving impression points +9 from Nalan Bai!

Looking at Clark's nonchalant demeanor, Nalan Bai felt most of her anger dissipate.

She simply couldn't stay mad.

This detestable guy, it seems he's become even more handsome than nine years ago...
