My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 137 Speculation on Ordinary People Breaking Limits

Patrol Team members, upon seeing Wang Zhou's muscles, also had some speculations.

"What do you think Wang Zhou can hit in terms of kilograms?"

An Awakener analyzed, "If it were the old Wang Zhou sporting a beer belly, his maximum punching power probably wouldn't even reach a hundred kilograms, but now, I guess he could hit a hundred and thirty, maybe one hundred and forty."

"I think that estimate is about right, though it might even be lower, considering Wang Zhou hasn't learned any systematic punching techniques."

"That's still pretty impressive. If Wang Zhou could only punch at eighty kilograms before and now he can hit a hundred and twenty, that means he has increased his punching power by forty kilograms in a short period of time... Forty kilograms, even for us Awakeners, that's a significant enhancement."

They discussed among themselves, their eyes fixed intently on Wang Zhou.

Wang Zhou stood before the Punching Power Tester, first doing a few warm-up exercises and then taking a deep breath. Mimicking the two who had demonstrated before, he tensed his body, powered up his legs, and with a surging force, he slammed a fist into the punching pad of the tester.

"Bang!"

The punching pad shook violently.

The Awakeners beside him opened their mouths wide in astonishment; the shaking was even more intense than the impact caused by the ordinary person who had just tested.

"This... Could his punching power break two hundred?"

"How could that be possible? I know Wang Zhou too well. Even if he's built some muscle, he can't be that strong!"

Soon, a number flashed on the display screen of the Punching Power Tester, "386kg!"

Those Patrol Team members, who had followed out of curiosity, now had their eyes widened in shock.

If they didn't know that Wang Zhou often dealt with their Patrol Team, and they were very familiar with each other, they would have thought someone was disguised as Wang Zhou, playing a prank on them.

Yet, a punching power of over three hundred kilograms still seemed unbelievable to them.

"No way! Wang Zhou actually hit over three hundred kilograms, and his form wasn't even correct. If he could master some punching techniques, wouldn't that mean he could punch over four hundred kilograms?"

"Could the Punching Power Tester be malfunctioning?" one of the Awakeners wondered, not believing it, he walked closer and threw a punch. After the 'bang' and shaking of the punching pad, the number displayed was not much different from his previous test.

"So that means, the power of Wang Zhou's punch is real?" he said, sweeping his gaze back and forth over Wang Zhou, "Could it be that you've awakened, Wang Zhou? No, that can't be it. An Awakener's punch would be even stronger, and you don't have the aura of an Awakener. What's going on?"

Puzzlement filled their eyes as they turned toward Director Tang.

Tang Yu did not immediately give an explanation but instead signaled for Wang Zhou to continue testing.

Next, Wang Zhou stopped gathering his strength and quickly swung his fists, 'bam bam bam', pounding the punching pad, emitting a series of muffled sounds.

A string of numbers flashed on the testing machine's display. Although not as high as the charged 386 kilograms, they still steadily maintained above three hundred kilograms in punching power.

It was clear that Wang Zhou's strength had indeed increased significantly.

"Next, let's test the speed."

Tang Yu switched on the speed testing device next to the track, and a green light illuminated on the tester.

The test running track was fifty meters long, with an additional twenty-meter run-up area in front.

Wang Zhou stood at the starting point of the run-up area, leaning forward with a ready stance for a hundred-meter dash.

Whoosh!

He exploded with force, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, his feet pounding rapidly and forcefully against the ground, raising a gust of wind. In just a moment, Wang Zhou had crossed the finish line.

Drip.

The red dot on the speed tester lit up.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Members of the Patrol Team gathered around.

Tang Yu also walked over to take a look, and the number displayed was "12.16m/s".

That's equivalent to a bit over eight seconds for a hundred-meter sprint.

This speed also far exceeded what an ordinary person could achieve, and even though it wasn't quite at the level of an Awakener, it wasn't far off.

"Well done, old Wang. You used to be tuckered out like a dead dog after running a hundred meters, but look at you now, running these numbers without even panting."

Wang Zhou cracked a wide grin, looking as cheerful as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Now, the Patrol Team members were even more curious about the reason for Wang Zhou's newfound strength.

They had already thought it quite remarkable for one's punching power to increase by forty kilograms in a short time, let alone now, with Wang Zhou's strength having multiplied enormously.

They all looked eagerly at Director Tang, especially the ordinary person who had just demonstrated, whose eyes burned with an intense fervor.

Tang Yu no longer kept them in suspense and spoke slowly, "Wang Zhou's increase in strength is due to soaking in the new Body Tempering Liquid developed by the Sanctuary…"

He explained the effects of the Body Tempering Liquid and indicated that it would be added to the exchange list soon.

Their eyes grew even hotter.

They clamored to place advance orders.

Lord Tang, having successfully launched a product and conducted an effective promotion, was in a very cheerful mood at the moment.

Wang Zhou's test result was basically what he had anticipated, if not a little better.

It was probably the first use and his poor foundational condition that led to such a high level of improvement.

An Awakener who had just achieved Awakening could reach just over five hundred kilograms in punching power, and their speed would be around seven seconds for a hundred meters. Given Wang Zhou's physical condition, if he learned some techniques for strength exertion and sprinting, his data could be further improved, nearly reaching the standard of an Awakener.

However, this was just physical conditioning; Wang Zhou's stage of life was still that of an ordinary person.

In other words, an Awakener's lifespan would be longer than that of an ordinary person, while Wang Zhou, even with physical conditioning comparable to that of an Awakener, would still have the lifespan of an ordinary person.

"However… Wang Zhou's potential has not yet been fully tapped. If we can completely excavate his potential up to the limit of an ordinary person, his physical condition could surpass that of a typical Awakener."

This conclusion was not reached by Tang Yu himself, but rather derived from analyzing the research materials obtained from Lin Wei's residence.

If the body of an ordinary person was enhanced to its limit, their punching power could reach eight hundred kilograms, and their speed could get to about five seconds for a hundred meters.

This data was significantly stronger than those who had just awakened, and Tang Yu understood completely.

Ordinary people reaching these numbers had their strength intensified to the limit, whereas Awakeners had only tapped into a small portion of their potential… This was why he wanted to excavate potential before breaking through.

After soaking in the Body Tempering Liquid for a few days, Tang Yu was also confident that he could now take on three of his past selves without any problem.

At this moment, Wang Zhou had tried various training equipment, and Tang Yu fell into deep thought.

"Awakeners first leap to a higher level of life, which then enhances their physical condition, whereas Luo Zhe and others from his world cultivate to unearth bodily potential and use it to strike for higher levels of life."

Ordinary people cannot learn the Cultivation Skill, and it's almost impossible to reach the limits of the body through exercise alone, but with the Body Tempering Liquid, there is a possibility.

Tang Yu was very curious whether ordinary people, upon reaching the limit of their physical potential, could go even further.
