"Bang!"
Just as a magic barrier in one of the test chambers was activated, an immense sound made everyone's ears buzz.
They saw the "Dragon General 2.2T" Individual Exoskeleton Tactical Armor, still in the process of being equipped, land a heavy punch on a piece of equipment.
The device, which stood taller than a person and was as wide and bulky as a large wardrobe, now displayed a row of numbers on its digital screen.
Each testing chamber was quite spacious, at least a hundred square meters, and filled with all sorts of equipment, including Ability Users, allowing for a variety of tests and methods.
"1163 kilograms!"
The visitors were astounded, exclamations erupting from all around.
This was strength beyond that of an ordinary person!
If such a blow were to land on someone, it could cripple or even be fatal, and it might even kill a sturdy buffalo.
"What we are testing now is the 'Dragon General 2.2T's straight punch amplification component. Strength is not about being as powerful as possible, but rather about how to exert force effectively. Despite this punch having over a ton of impact force, if designed poorly, it can easily harm the user.
The strength testing machine we are using now is available for everyone to try and see for themselves how much punch strength they have and compare it to the 'Dragon General 2.2T's."
The Guide Big Brother had meticulously arranged a live interactive session.
Just seeing the numbers and hearing verbal explanations couldn't truly convey the enhancement in personal physical capabilities brought about by exoskeleton equipment like the Individual Tactical Armor.
The trainees and their families lined up to give their all and punch at the testing machine.
18 kilograms, 54 kilograms, 32 kilograms, 76 kilograms...
With a loud "bam," the digital display showed the number "110 kilograms."
"Wow, that's a lot of strength!"
Then, another record was set with "156 kilograms."
Yu Mingze, amidst admiring gazes, proudly pulled back his fist, looking around the crowd. He soon spotted Chen Fei and his sister Chen Meng and shot them a challenging look, saying, "Who wants to give it a go?"
As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Chen Fei.
For a fire mage to deliver a punch with the force of a professional boxer was truly unexpected.
In the next second, around Master Yu, the scene turned into one of grandstanding and endless flattery.
"Brother, you should try!"
Chen Meng encouraged Chen Fei to take part, determined not to let that annoying show-off, Master Yu, steal the spotlight.
It was time to show the might of a Grade B supernatural power user!
The Chen siblings were known to have thoroughly trounced their elder cousin's youngest son, easily dominating him, so their strength was naturally not to be underestimated.
"Don't you want to play?"
Chen Fei could clearly hear the underlying message in his sister's urging, playful!
"Hehe!"
Chen Meng giggled a few times, but her body was honestly readying itself for action.
Soon it was the Chen siblings' turn, with Little Sister Chen going first. With a roar, she thudded a muffled punch onto the cushioned impact board.
"155 kilograms!"
"Wow! Almost broke the record!"
"That's amazing, one wouldn't think she had such strength."
...
If putting all his strength into it couldn't surpass someone's bare fist, what was the point of having Tactical Armor?
Chen Fei glanced indifferently at Master Yu, who was turning pale. The guy was shivering, almost on the verge of wetting himself.
He had assumed that 1748 kilograms of punch strength was Chen Fei's limit, but out of the blue, nearly 400 kilograms were added to that force. Was this guy serious?
Maybe his true limit was even beyond this number.
Guide Big Brother had a sudden realization, guessing a possibility, and immediately asked, "Mr. Chen, are you an Ability User?"
"Sort of!"
Chen Fei nodded, not wishing to dwell on the topic.
One must be low-key, or else get struck by lightning for showing off.
"I see. May I ask, what type of Ability User are you, a War Professional or a supernatural power user?"
Guide Big Brother immediately ruled out Spellcasters.
Although Mages might not be weak in physical strength, their power had limits.
A guy capable of throwing a two-ton punch, even if he was a Mage, would likely have dual training in magic and martial arts, much like choosing a major in college; there's a main and a minor, each with a focus.
"Can you keep a secret?"
Chen Fei was determined to remain low-key to the very end, not letting others easily know his trump cards.
The amount of ammunition left inside a fighter jet's weapons bay is a secret known only to the pilot.
Seeing that Chen Fei was reluctant to share, Guide Big Brother couldn't quite bring himself to press the issue, and awkwardly chuckled, "Ah, sure! No problem, whatever you prefer, we won't force you!"
"Please wait a moment, could I try this?"
Techs inside the test chamber suddenly waved at Chen Fei, then pointed towards a workbench that had several steel plates standing up, piled on top of each other.
These were originally prepared for the "Dragon General 2.2T," but at this moment, to the techs, Chen Fei seemed like a piece of Tactical Armor integrated with a human.
How much combat power Individual Exoskeleton Tactical Armor could amplify depends partly on the materials and design, and partly on the wearer's personal physical quality. The interaction between these two factors determines the actual performance ceiling of the product.
A search throughout the entire Henghai Tactical Weapons Group wouldn't find a person who could deliver a two-ton burst strength punch.
When a young Ability User with outstanding physical qualities appeared before the tech team responsible for improving the "Dragon General" Tactical Armor, it was as if they had discovered a rare treasure.
Who knew to what degree he could raise the ceiling of the "Dragon General 2.2T," possibly even surpassing the "Dragon General 4.0" still in service (almost every ten years, there would be a significant technical upgrade, and the version number would increase by +1 before the decimal point).
Their faces all but screamed, "Take me now!"
"Last time!"
Chen Fei shook his head, having no interest whatsoever in such experiments.
He had studied economics with great effort, only to end up fixing aircraft. He didn't quite finish fixing the plane, but managed to learn the Neanderthal tribe's secret technique "Fight to the Death" first, nearly killed himself fighting an Evil Dragon, and got stuck with a damn Dog System.
The aircraft still wasn't fixed, and then, damnit, there was war. To survive in the corporate warfare, he had to reluctantly get into the cockpit and engage in Aerial Combat, follow up with further training, and now... these scoundrels wanted him to engage in frivolities, obviously not a chance!
Without talking about money, it really hurt feelings!
"The last time!"
Guide Big Brother decided on his own. He saw Chen Fei's impatience and subtle refusal and wanted to stop while the latter still had some patience.
Those Ability Users, always proud of their talents, were usually eccentric, with only a few being normal.
Chen Fei walked straight to the homogeneous steel plate, didn't gather any strength, simply threw a casual punch, and it sank right in up to his shoulder.
The metal material offered no resistance against his fist whatsoever, not even stopping until it reached his shoulder.
