"Hmph, this is just the value of my mortal body after I suppressed the power of the Fiery Dragon."
The Dark Flame Dragon Blade user explained to himself, then coolly stepped aside.
At this point, all heroes who actively participated in the testing have completed their tests.
All eyes eventually, almost imperceptibly, turned to the other two people in the room—Saitama and "the strongest man on earth," King.
“Alright, next one…” Child Emperor’s gaze shifted between Saitama and King for a moment before finally settling on Saitama.
Tong Di was filled with a curiosity far exceeding that of others about this man who could destroy a meteorite with a single punch, yet whose physical fitness test data was only "excellent".
That kind of destructive power can never be measured by conventional data.
He wanted to see if his invention could reveal even a small part of his potential.
"That bald guy... Saitama, ranked 25th in Class A, it's your turn."
"Ah good."
Saitama lazily stood up, walked to the center of the field, and had an expression that said, "Hurry up and finish this so I can have lunch."
Child Emperor took a deep breath, raised the ugly woman mask, and aimed it at the seemingly ordinary bald man.
The green scanning beam shot out again, sweeping across Saitama's body inch by inch.
At first everything was normal, and the mask made a steady "humming" sound.
But just as the scanning beam reached Saitama's chest, something unexpected happened!
"Buzz—buzz buzz buzz!"
The sound emanating from the mask suddenly became sharp and piercing, like an engine running at overload.
The numbers on the holographic screen started at zero and skyrocketed at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow:
10...100...1000...9999...
The numbers were jumping faster than the screen's refresh rate, leaving a blurry afterimage.
"W-what's going on?" Tong Di was shocked; he had never anticipated this situation.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Warning! Energy reaction overload! Exceeding measurement limit! Exceeding measurement limit!" A piercing electronic warning sound emanated from inside the mask.
Before anyone could react, a crisp popping sound rang out.
The "Ugly Woman Mask" in Tong Di's hand trembled violently, and several spiderweb-like cracks simultaneously broke open from the corners of the four eyes on its surface!
"Ah! My invention!"
Child Emperor let out a heartbroken cry, tenderly holding the ruined mask.
This is his masterpiece, the result of three days and three nights of painstaking effort!
The entire core area fell into a deathly silence.
Snake, the Great Philosopher, and "Flame Dragon Knight" stared at Saitama in disbelief, as if they were looking at a monster in human skin.
They couldn't understand what had just happened.
How could a person's physical strength possibly cause Child Emperor's sophisticated instruments to burn on the spot?
Saitama scratched his bald head innocently, "Uh, I'm so sorry for breaking your stuff."
Child Emperor raised his head, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Saitama completely changed.
He estimated that the average adult male's statistic would be around 5, while a well-trained fighter could reach over 20. The average statistic for a C-rank hero is 100, for a B-rank it's 500, and for an A-rank it's several thousand.
However, there is one thing to note: the maximum number of "Ugly Woman Masks" is 9999; exceeding this limit will prevent analysis.
But... the "ugly woman mask" was completely ruined!
Chapter 63 Is KING a misnomer?
Child Emperor, this genius boy who is only ten years old and the intellectual powerhouse among the S-class heroes, is staring intently at the scene before him, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
"It seems that this bald man's physical strength far exceeds the limit of the 'Ugly Woman Mask'..." Child Emperor thought to himself, his mind replaying that unbelievable scene from just now.
After a brief moment of shock, everyone's eyes turned to the last person—KING, who was known as the "strongest man on earth"!
If Saitama, who destroyed the "Ugly Woman Mask," is an unknown monster that cannot be measured by common sense or data, then...
So, what kind of terrifying existence is KING, who is recognized by the whole world as the "strongest on earth", firmly sitting at the top of the S-class heroes, whose name alone can make countless powerful monsters tremble with fear, and who is always accompanied by the heart-palpitating roar of the "Emperor Engine"?
Even the bald guy's data couldn't be measured, let alone KING's...
That would probably cause the entire research institute's energy system to crash due to overload.
The A-rank heroes Snake, the Great Philosopher, and the Dark Flame Dragon Blade Master all had this seemingly absurd yet perfectly reasonable thought pop into their minds at the same time.
Their gazes toward King were filled with awe and anticipation.
Lin Mo remained outwardly unmoved, his perpetually cold and aloof face showing no sign of emotion.
Having traveled through time and experienced numerous life-or-death crises, his mindset has indeed changed a lot. He is no longer like he was at the beginning, when he would be so scared that his legs would go weak at the sight of strange people.
Moreover, he is indeed curious about his current physical strength, as the system's values are different from those measured by the "Ugly Woman Mask".
He needs a point of reference to more clearly define his place in this world.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, KING finally moved.
He didn't say anything more, but simply walked slowly to the center of the room.
"Thump...thump...thump...thump..."
The familiar yet unique sound of a heartbeat, like the beating of war drums, echoed clearly in the silent laboratory.
The sound wasn't loud, but it possessed a strange, magical power that struck directly at everyone's heart, making them feel inexplicable pressure.
"Oh my god! It's the 'Emperor Engine'! The legendary 'Emperor Engine' has been activated!"
A strange light gleamed in Tong Di's eyes. Instead of feeling fear, he was so excited that his face turned red.
"That's right, that's the feeling! Come on, Uncle King! Let me witness the limits of this instrument with my own eyes!"
He almost couldn't wait to point the still oddly shaped "ugly woman mask" at Lin Mo.
Everyone held their breath, and even Saitama, who was bored while waiting and was about to yawn, cast a curious glance at them.
Lin Mo was still a little nervous.
'System, open your personal panel.' He silently recited in his mind, and a semi-transparent panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
Name: Lin Mo (KING)
【Sex: Male】
【Energy Value: 20,360】
[Stamina: 90]
【Strength: 90】
【Speed: 90】
[Mind Power: 90]
Looking at the neat rows of "90"s on the panel, Lin Mo felt a little more at ease.
"Test, begin!"
At the command of the Child Emperor, the activation button for the "Ugly Woman Mask" was pressed.
A beam of light suddenly appeared in the eye on the mask, slowly sweeping across KING's body.
Snake and the others stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding in their throats.
They stared intently at the holographic screen on the side of the instrument, hoping the imagined scene would appear.
The scan, which took only a few seconds, felt like an eternity.
Finally, the scan is complete.
A line of clear numbers slowly appeared on the holographic screen on the side of the instrument.
Physical Strength Value: 3888
"Three...three thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight?"
Snake uttered the number almost instinctively, his tone filled with disbelief.
This number is undoubtedly top-notch.
It surpasses all the A-rank heroes present, and may even be higher than most A-rank heroes specializing in melee combat.
Looking at the entire Hero Association, this is a report card that can make people proud.
But... does he deserve the title of "the strongest man on earth"?
You know, that bald Saitama just now burned the "Ugly Girl Mask," which has a measurement limit of nearly 10,000!
And KING's value was just a mere four-digit number that could be easily measured by an instrument.
"how come……"
The great philosopher frowned; the result was far from the cataclysmic scene he had imagined, one that would cause the instruments to explode again.
"Hmph, I knew it, just an ordinary machine..."
The Dark Flame Dragon Blade Master was about to utter his melodramatic remarks, but the eerie silence of the scene silenced him.
"3888... Just as I expected." Unlike the others' surprise, Lin Mo wasn't really surprised.
After multiple skill point upgrades, his physical body has undergone a complete transformation, reaching the top level of an A-class hero, but there is still a considerable gap between him and those true S-class heroes.
The atmosphere in the laboratory became incredibly oppressive.
Everyone's gaze shifted from the holographic screen and focused on Child Emperor.
They desperately wanted a reasonable explanation from this gifted child.
Tong Di did not answer. He frowned and stared intently at the data on the screen, his small face filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"Impossible... The instrument scan is correct, and the energy supply is perfectly normal. This value is accurate; Mr. KING's vital signs, muscle density... combined, this is the result."
He raised his head and looked with a probing gaze at the man who had remained expressionless throughout, as if he didn't care about the outcome at all.
