Showing Off! Shocking Everyone!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Ding ding ding…
The numbers on the magic puppet's display kept jumping.
The pleasant sound felt like gold coins falling in front of him.
Austin looked up, unconcerned, and looked at the numbers on the display that had finally stopped.
1000 kilograms!
His score was much higher than his sister Catherine's.
Kona rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
The newbie in her eyes had managed to surpass the passing mark for an apprentice magister.
Everyone gasped at the sight of this.
"1000 kilograms? Wow, it exceeded the standard of an apprentice magister right in his first try."
"Congratulations to that handsome guy. He's going to be an apprentice magister from now on."
"He seems so young to become a magister. He must have a limitless future."
Austin looked at Kona and asked, "I still got two more tries, right?"
Kona hurriedly recorded down Austin's first result and nodded. "Yes, you have two more tries."
"Great."
Austin shook his head, twisted his wrist, and loosened up his muscles.
Cracking sounds could be heard from the various joints of his body.
The muscles that were exposed outside his clothes were like strong and vigorous dragons that swelled up as he moved.
"Generally speaking, the first result displayed on the magic puppet will be the highest out of the three chances."
"After all, the first strike is always the most potent one. If it fails, it will do worse on the next try."
"Though there is no lack of those who can follow up and improve their results."
"Let's take a look. Anyway, with his current results, he's guaranteed to become an apprentice magister."
Every applicant now focused their attention on Austin.
An apprentice magister coming through every other day was not too rare.
Still, it was extremely rare to have more than one person becoming an intern magister among the same batch of candidates.
Sometimes, they would look up to others and motivate themselves to push through their limits.
Austin took a deep breath and clenched his fists again.
This time, Austin was prepared to use ten times the power.
If he used his 100 times power, a single punch would be equivalent to 50,000 kilograms of strength.
Not mentioning whether the magic puppet could withstand it, Austin believed that his fist and arm would be crippled.
Therefore, Austin prepared to increase his strength by ten times first.
Kona watched Austin closely.
His posture was wrong!
His point of leverage was wrong!
He did not use any strength in his waist!
As the saying goes, a long illness makes a doctor. She had seen too many fist power assessments of people who had stepped into the ranks of magisters and more or less knew the technique to exert force properly.
In the eyes of a layman like Kona, Austin's movements were full of loopholes.
But how could such a person be able to unleash strength comparable to an apprentice magister?
It's probably his innate divine strength…
Kona thought to herself.
In the next moment, Kona's pupils constricted.
On his second punch, with just the second punch, Austin had begun to grasp the correct technique.
His feet, waist, and spine slowly adjusted, until they combined and coordinated to utilize the strength in his limbs.
How could that be?
Just how?
She would not have known that Austin had indeed never gone through any systematic training.
However, after the evolution of Austin's cells, his control over his body had reached the highest level.
Like a cat, no matter what position it fell from, it could adjust its body and land steadily on all fours.
This was Austin's instinct at work when he evolved to become a stage 4 life form.
It was the optimal use of the body!
Austin's second punch was ferocious, like a lion pouncing upon awakening.
Bang!
An ear-splitting boom erupted, accompanied by a large wave of white air.
A fist that was ten times stronger smashed heavily onto the magic puppet.
The numbers on the monitor jumped crazily in units of thousands.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding…"
When the numbers stopped, the strength of the magic puppet's fist was displayed as—
12,500 kilograms!
"Gasp!"
Everyone gasped as their jaws dropped.
"10,000 kilograms of fist power! This is already the standard strength of an actual magister, right?"
"He's too strong! I can't believe that I would actually encounter a freak with 12,500 kilograms of force."
"Good Lord, I seriously suspect that he's pretending to be a pig to prey on a tiger1."
"Is he a magister who came to the Beginner's Village to show off?"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"Unbelievable." Kona shook her head. "According to the system, he's a newcomer without any formal registration."
"Wow, I'm convinced."
"That's dope mate."
"So inspirational man. This person is probably here to amaze everyone today."
The crowd gasped in admiration.
Austin withdrew his fist and shook his palm.
The force of the punch, which was more than 10,000 kilograms, had not only rocked the magic puppet.
His fist was also numb from the impact, and his entire arm was almost dislocated.
If I really increased my strength by a hundred times, my arm might be ruined.
Austin thought to himself.
He seemed calm while everyone else was in shock.
10,000 kilograms of force was expected.
"You have a third attempt," Kona said as she swallowed her saliva.
Austin nodded and punched a third time.
12,500 kilograms again!
Compared to the results of the second attempt, the third punch seemed to pale in comparison.
However, the score of the second try was shocking enough.
After the three punches, Austin asked, "Am I an apprentice magister now?"
Kona nodded respectfully.
"Sir, please follow me."
"After you register as a magister, you will be an apprentice magister from today onwards."
An apprentice magister with 10,000 fist power!
The lady at the registration counter looked up at Austin in shock.
"Sir, there's an official magister exam coming up. Would you like to participate?"
"Absolutely!"
Austin nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, the official magister exam registration is free. I'm going to register for you now."
"This is the registration notice. You can bring it back and take a look."
The registration lady pushed a small booklet through the window.
There was a name card on the booklet with the name Lucy.
"This is?"
Austin gave the register girl a puzzled look.
Lucy blushed and explained softly, "This is my name card. My contact number is on it."
"I'm leaving work at six in the evening. If you have any queries, you can contact me."
Austin was slightly startled as he nodded and kept the name card in his pocket.
With the manual, he left.
The booklet recorded the time and location of the official magister exam and the things to take note of.
Perhaps to reduce the mortality rate of apprentice magisters, the booklet included the details of the vicious beasts in the Vicious Beast Town.
The introduction was very comprehensive as the details of the beasts included their weight, height, habits, and weaknesses.
After all, the reason why Vicious Beast Town existed was to allow the apprentice magisters to have actual combat experience with the Vicious Beasts, molding them through the experience of life and death, not sending these apprentices to die.
It was never easy to nurture any apprentice magisters.
