Chapter 782 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The crowd was silent as they stared at the red number. Looks of astonishment replaced the smiles on their faces.
No one expected Dustin to have such terrifying strength. His punch was over ten thousand pounds of force! It was incredible!
âFuck! Who is this guy? How can he be so strong?â
âAnd I thought five thousand pounds was the limit. This guy broke through ten thousand!â âDamn it! Heâs a freaking monster!â
The martial artists present began discussing among themselves and expressed their surprise. The Steeljaws Fellowship disciples were in shock, unable to believe it.
Desmond had exerted his full strength only to achieve five thousand pounds of force. While Dustin easily surpassed ten thousand pounds of force.
Dustin completely crushed them with that display of strength. It was humiliating!
âHow was that possible? How could this skinny guy have such incredible strength? Did he use internal energy?â Gianna questioned.
âIf he used internal energy, the machine would have shown an invalid result. So that punch he threw was raw strength,â someone explained
Although they didnât want to admit it, Dustin was strong. He had far surpassed their expectations. âTen thousand and one pounds. That number should get me qualified for the next round, right?â In comparison to the crowdâs reaction, Dustin appeared calm. It was as if he had done something ordinary.
âHuh? Oh, right! You have advanced directly to the next round!â After a momentary daze, the staff nodded.
He had looked at Dustin in contempt, but it was now replaced with awe.
If Dustinâs punch was ten thousand pounds of force, he couldnât imagine if it was with internal energy.
âHey, chubbs, did you see that? Now thatâs strength. What you both did was childâs play.â Georgia crossed her arms with a smirk in contempt.
Gianna was infuriated at the jab but could only stay silent. Although strength didnât represent their ability, they still won this round.
âHey! Donât get arrogant. I havenât even made my move yet!â At that moment, Devon stepped forward. He was burly and looked strong with muscles that resembled rocks.
âThatâs right! We can still win with Devon around!â Giannaâs eyes lit up immediately.
She was excited. Devon had much stronger raw strength than Desmond.
âDevon is naturally strong. Not being able to use internal energy will show you how strong his raw
strength is!â Desmond was confident.
âThatâs right! Devon is the true underdog!â The others nodded in agreement.
Each of them had their own strengths and talents.
They were either fast, strong, with great defense, immense internal energy, or good at swordsmanship.
Among them, Devon undoubtedly possessed the greatest strength.
âYou think hitting ten thousand pounds of strength is impressive, brat? Let me tell you the truth. I achieved that three years ago!â
With a cold gaze, Devon turned to Dustin and laughed at him. âToday, Iâll show you what strength truly is. Keep your eyes wide open!â
As he spoke, he approached the strength tester machine and deeply breathed. He then positioned his fist and began to gather his strength slowly.
When he stretched his arm as far as he could, he used his foot to push off and delivered a strong punch onto the punching pad hard.
A resounding explosion shook the entire tester machine. The red digits on the display screen started to fluctuate and ascend.
The numbers surpassed the ten-thousand mark without any signs of slowing down.
Finally, the number settled at an impressive 14387! That was over four thousand pounds higher than Dustinâs results earlier.
âWhat the fuck? Is he for real? 14 thousand?â
âHeâs a fucking monster!â
âDamn it! This guy broke the record! Thatâs ridiculous!â
