LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 762: Chapter 724: Strength Test

Having learned that Rocky was going to design new armor for himself and his tribal warriors, Chief He Nan was extremely excited, as were the few Beastmen he brought along.

Since they did not know the reason Rocky had summoned them to the research institute this time, Chief He Nan had brought some of the strongest warriors from his tribe, which made the news of the new armor designs even more thrilling not just for him, but also for the Beastmen he had brought along.

Unlike Chief He Nan, the Fireteng Tribe did not know Rocky very well. In fact, even though some of them had settled in Backhill Village, they were still distrustful of Rocky; however, it seemed that the matter of the armor could definitely leave a very good impression of Rocky in the warriors’ hearts.

Of course, all these matters were secondary today since the main reason Rocky had summoned Chief He Nan and his group was actually to collect data.

Beastmen had far superior physical qualities compared to humans, which made the existing inheritable or universal data meaningless as those were collected based on human references and were not applicable to Beastmen. This was why Rocky had brought Chief He Nan here—he had not only called upon Chief He Nan but had also asked him to bring several Beastman Warriors to gather the necessary data for the new armors.

Thus, following a brief explanation of the situation to Chief He Nan and his companions, Rocky began the tests without further ado.

“First, the power room door test.”

While speaking, Rocky led Chief He Nan and the others to a machine that looked quite crude, almost like an empty frame, but its base was very firm, entirely embedded in the ground.

“Lord Rocky, what is this…?”

Standing in front of this frame-like machine, the Beastman called out to go first was a bit confused. As one of The Forsaken People, he was completely clueless about research, and the strange appearance of the device before him made him even more bewildered.

In response, Rocky did not explain much but simply nodded to a nearby researcher, who then turned on the switch. Instantly, a light emitted from the frame-like machine, revealing a mirror-like defensive net.

“This is a defensive net specially made to test strength. You just need to break it with all your might. Remember, do not hold back. Use all your strength.”

“Oh, got it.”

Though he did not quite understand Rocky’s purpose, the Beastman called out nodded honestly, indicating that Rocky and the researchers should step back.

Once everyone had stepped aside, the Beastman took a deep breath and roared as he fiercely punched the defensive net.

With one punch, the defensive net in front of the Beastman shattered like a piece of paper and turned into countless light points that disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Is that, is that all?”

Blinking and looking at Rocky, the Beastman did not know if he had succeeded or not.

Actually, this type of test had no concept of success; even if the defensive net were not broken, the machine itself could still measure the attack strength the net could withstand and thus obtain a series of data.

However, the result of the Beastman breaking the net with one punch was somewhat unexpected to Rocky; he had anticipated that the Beastman could break the net, but he did not expect it to be so effortless.

So, Rocky just smiled, whispered something to the researcher beside him, and then looked at the Beastman, “You did very well. Next, I will increase the strength of the defensive net, and you can try again.”

“Okay.”

As the Beastman nodded, the researcher operated the device, and a new defensive net appeared in front of the Beastman—just as Rocky had mentioned, this was a Second-level Defensive Network, stronger in defensive power than the previous First-level one.

Seeing the defensive net unfold again, the Beastman, just like before, took a deep breath and punched it.

With a crack, the Second-level Defensive Network shattered under the Beastman’s punch. Although there was a clear pause when his fist hit the network this time, it still surprised Rocky and the researcher beside him.

If the strength of the First-level Defensive Network was indeed not high, then the strength of the Second-level Defensive Network was no joke. The strength of the Second-level Defensive Network was enough to easily stop a regular Magic Energy Bullet, yet it still shattered under the Beastman’s punch, proving just how formidable the Beastman’s strength was.

“Another one, this time a Third-level Defensive Network.”

With his surprise put aside, Rocky continued because his purpose this time was to collect data on the Beastmen in various aspects, so it was best to measure the limits the Beastmen could reach in each aspect. This would enable him to refer to these data for detailed design and adjustment of the armor.

Thus, not long after, the defensive net unfolded again, and the Beastman swung his fist once more.

With a bang, when the Beastman’s fist hit the Third-level Defensive Network, it did not shatter but made a dull sound as if he had hit a solid iron wall, indicating that the Beastman’s strength had essentially reached its limit and clearly did not have the capacity to shatter the Third-level Defensive Network.

This result somewhat disheartened the Beastman—he even looked at Chief He Nan with a somewhat aggrieved expression, almost as if he was asking for another chance. However, he did not get this opportunity, because, as Rocky had said, the test was just for data collection, not about success or failure. Just being able to test out the range of the Beastman’s strength was enough.

However, this type of test had to gather data from more than just one person, so Rocky then had the other Beastmen begin the same testing process.

Afterward, the Beastmen Chief He Nan brought took turns stepping forward, swinging their fists at the defensive net. Having experienced it once, the following tests for the Beastmen started directly with the Second-level Defensive Network because, given the strength of the Beastmen, the First-level Defensive Network was too easy and no longer necessary to test.

In this way, time quickly passed more than an hour, and several Beastmen brought by Chief He Nan took their turns to complete the tests. The majority of them could easily shatter the Second-level Defensive Network, but they struggled with the Third-level Defensive Network; only three were able to crack the Third-level Defensive Network, and amongst everyone, only one Beastman managed to completely shatter it.

Upon breaking the Third-level Defensive Network, this Beastman excitedly raised his arms and shouted as if he had won a victory, whereas the others seemed downcast as if they had lost. Such was the nature of the Beastmen—highly combative, almost never resting until a clear winner was determined in any situation.

When all other Beastmen had completed their tests, only the last test subject remained—it was Chief He Nan.

“Chief He Nan, it’s your turn,”

After the last Beastman had completed his test, Rocky turned to Chief He Nan. He too was a Beastman, and the strongest warrior of the entire Fireteng Tribe, making it essential to collect his data.
