CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 22: NO STATS, ONLY HARD WORK AND SWEAT
Yan Luo’s leg strength is far greater than his arm strength, so when he jumps with all his might, he can feel his body height instantly elevate.
When his jumping height reaches its peak, the instruments he’s wearing faithfully record the data.
——8.9 meters!
Without wearing an exoskeleton, Yan Luo’s jumping ability allows him to reach the height of a three-story building.
"Wow!"
When Sasa saw this data, she couldn’t help but exclaim.
Particularly since Yan Luo’s own weight was 107.1 kg, logically speaking, it should be impossible for him to jump that high.
Now, his jumping height is enough to prove that although he looks like a human on the outside, in essence, he is vastly different from ordinary Blue Star People.
Yan Luo’s muscle structure, cell structure, joint structure, and bone structure must all have changed, so much so that even his heart and lungs have been correspondingly enhanced, allowing him to unleash extraordinary power in a very short amount of time.
For example, when compared to an Engraver with the same strength as Yan Luo, the Engraver’s instantaneous burst capability should be less than half of Yan Luo’s.
This is not a question of whether the Engraver is strong or not; rather, Yan Luo’s body structure is more suited for bursts of power.
Considering that Yan Luo’s appetite hasn’t changed much, Sasa has evidence to speculate that his energy utilization efficiency has also improved.
Realizing this, Sasa felt as if she had smelled Immortal aura, her whole body tingled, and her fervent gaze instantly shifted to Yan Luo outside the vehicle, the passion in her eyes seemed capable of melting glass.
Yan Luo involuntarily shivered and sharply turned to look at the armored vehicle.
The windows of the armored vehicle were coated, so the interior couldn’t be seen from outside, but Yan Luo could feel that Sasa was watching him.
[One jump isn’t enough; you need to do ten jumps, then take the average and median to calculate how strong your jumping ability really is.] Sasa urged Yan Luo.
Yan Luo could clearly feel the excitement in Sasa’s voice.
Is it really worth getting this excited over?
Yan Luo remained silent, merely continued jumping.
8.9 meters wasn’t the limit of Yan Luo’s jumping ability; his highest jump even reached 9.4 meters.
[Good! Very good!]
Sasa’s excited voice once again transmitted through the earphones to Yan Luo’s ears: [Rest for three minutes, and then we’ll test your running speed, three sets of 100-meter shuttle runs, one minute interval each!]
To be honest, ten jumps weren’t tiring for Yan Luo, even starting shuttle runs immediately wouldn’t be a problem.
But since Sasa needed the most genuine data, Yan Luo could only sit down and rest for a moment.
Three minutes passed quickly, and Yan Luo stood up, stretched his body, then marked a tree 100 meters away with his goggles, and marked where he was now.
The 100-meter shuttle run, start!
Sasa’s eyes gleamed as she watched the data being collected by the instruments on Yan Luo, she was so excited she almost rolled her eyes.
She picked up Yan Luo’s notebook and started recording the data.
The data on these instruments would need to be deleted after testing, and thoroughly wiped clean to avoid leaving any trace that could reveal Yan Luo’s special traits to others.
At this moment, Sasa had only one thought.
——This research project must be mine, no one else can take it!
In the three sets of shuttle runs, Yan Luo’s best result was 15 meters per second. It was clear that his burst capability was indeed strong, only his body hadn’t been enhanced specifically for running.
After the shuttle run, Yan Luo followed Sasa’s instructions to take out a strength tester from his spatial tool, rested briefly, then struck the instrument with all his might.
Maximum punch force (straight punch) was 2.1 tons, maximum kick force (side kick) was 4.8 tons.
This data was quite impressive, an Engraver with just a single "Strength" Engraving simply couldn’t achieve such data.
However, there was still a problem with Yan Luo’s body.
Through the perspective shared by Yan Luo’s goggles, Sasa saw that his knuckles were broken and frowned: [Compared to your strength, the resilience of your body is still insufficient.]
Yan Luo’s muscle structure had been enhanced, only his skin wasn’t yet.
[The tests will stop here for now, come back and rest for a while, and I’ll start to create a training plan for you.]
Hearing this, Yan Luo put the testing equipment back into his spatial tool and returned to the vehicle with the briefcase.
Sasa asked him to show her the broken skin area, and Yan Luo obliged.
Then, Sasa wiped away the blood from the wound with a tissue, and took out paper and pen to continue taking notes.
She had heard Yan Luo say that when he was digesting Magic Power, the speed at which his wounds healed would accelerate.
This situation matches the true meaning of ’training’, so Sasa thought that Yan Luo’s body’s healing speed had also been enhanced.
In fact, Sasa wasn’t wrong; Yan Luo’s wound underwent the process of stopping bleeding, scabbing, and then shedding the scab in a very short time.
For an ordinary person, even a tiny wound would take one to two days of fussing, but Yan Luo’s wound healed so swiftly and cleanly, it was truly startling.
At this moment, Yan Luo suddenly sensed a hint of danger, almost leaping out of the vehicle, but he managed to control himself in time.
"What do you want to do?" Yan Luo watched Sasa warily.
Sasa faced Yan Luo, despite wearing large goggles, Yan Luo could still feel the fervent gaze behind them.
"Don’t overreact, I was just thinking..."
Sasa looked at Yan Luo as if she had found a rare treasure... no, to her, Yan Luo’s existence was the rare treasure!
A strong healing ability, does that mean that if I were to cut off some of his skin and muscles, or even blood vessels and nerves, he could regrow them?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t she have unlimited experimental material?
Even if nerves can’t, skin and muscles should be able to grow back, right? Even bones and joints might grow back, right?
Gulp!
Sasa couldn’t help but swallow, the sound loudly echoing in the silent vehicle.
"...Hehe." Sasa gave a silly smile, trying to play it off.
Yan Luo’s forehead veins twitched, "Enough! Were you thinking of dissecting me just now?"
Sasa immediately shook her head, righteously explaining: "No, no, no, dissection would be too wasteful, I merely wanted some of your body tissues for research!"
Then, noticing Yan Luo’s gaze turning cold, Sasa quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about your future training plan!"
Sasa lowered her head, opened the notebook, and pointed at the recorded data: "Look, from the current data, your running and body resilience are weaknesses, when digesting Magic Power, pay attention to training these two aspects. Running is simple, just keep running, but improving body resilience is a bit more difficult, you need to punch things and crash into hard objects, which takes a lot of willpower."
During the training process, Yan Luo would endure pain many times, each time more intense, until he was completely numb.
Yan Luo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then shook his head.
"It’s okay, as long as it makes me stronger, it doesn’t matter."
Turning around to put the spatial tool back, Yan Luo gripped the steering wheel once more, and asked: "What next? Shall I help you finish the scientific research task first?"
Sasa turned her head to look at Yan Luo, puzzled, "Don’t you need to rest for a bit? You’ve just gone through so many tests."
"No need." Yan Luo replied calmly, "After my bodily functions strengthened, my stamina also increased significantly, the tests earlier were just a warm-up for me."
Upon hearing this, Sasa was stunned for a couple of seconds, then slowly smiled again, taking out her notebook to make records.
"Stamina is also a crucial training direction, many Engravers can’t fight for more than fifteen minutes not because they’ve used up all their Magic Power, but because their stamina doesn’t allow them to continue. Engraving’s enhancement of the body is ultimately just an added bonus, even for close-combat sequence Engravers, they can only have inexhaustible strength when their Engraving is activated."
