“This… this is straight-up One Punch Man!”
“What terrifying strength! Our school’s testing machine might be basic, but it can withstand attacks below Bronze Five-Star, right?”
“Even a strength-type awakener couldn’t blast the machine away like that!”
“Have you all forgotten? South God’s a spatial-type awakener…”
The gymnasium erupted with gasps, the students utterly gobsmacked.
Jiangnan scratched his head, not expecting his full-strength punch to send the machine flying.
Is the Strength Potion really that powerful?
He scratched his head sheepishly, “Teacher… I don’t have to pay for this, do I?”
[Resentment Points from Li Xiang +999!]
[Resentment Points from Li Muyan +999!]
[Resentment Points from Wang Tianyi +999!]
Pay for it, my foot!
Is that the point?
…
Heh heh, the headmaster’s that resentful?
They wouldn’t actually make him pay, would they?
The invigilator’s eyelids twitched.
He’d been right there, watching. Could a high schooler really throw a punch like that?
Clearing his throat to mask his embarrassment, “A few students, go fetch the testing machine!”
“Don’t worry, you won’t have to pay. It’s our school’s oversight!”
“Besides, it’s about time we got a new machine!”
Headmaster Wang’s face darkened completely.
[Resentment Points from Wang Tianyi +999!]
Jiangnan sniggered.
Teacher, stop talking!
Keep going, and the headmaster might have it in for you!
Soon, a few students hauled the machine back from the field.
They were questioning their existence. That thing weighed at least seven or eight hundred pounds!
How did he send it flying that far?
The basketball players on the field were terrified!
Which Year 12 legend did this?
Blasting a testing machine out of the third-floor gymnasium?
Scared the living daylights out of them…
The staff and students stared in silence at the machine, looking like it had been hit by an armour-piercing round.
Jiangnan’s punch had left it thoroughly wrecked!
The display flickered but held on!
“Black Iron Seven-Star! Attack Power ∞!”
Jiangnan’s name rocketed to the top of the leaderboard.
…
“Blimey! Did I see that right? South God’s got that kind of attack power at just Black Iron Seven-Star?”
“Attack Power ∞! Maxed out!”
“Absolutely mental!”
Headmaster Wang eyed the battered machine, feigning calm, “Hmm… doesn’t look too damaged. A quick fix, and it’ll be fine!”
Then…
“Bang!”
The machine gave up its final mission, sparking and shutting down for good…
[Resentment Points from Wang Tianyi +999!]
Fix it, my arse!
Headmaster, are you really that frugal?
The invigilator asked, “I recall you awakened spatial abilities. How’s your strength…”
Jiangnan casually replied, “Oh, yesterday at Jiangcheng Night Market, I was running my stall, got punched, and it awakened me. Picked up strength-type abilities too…”
Invigilator: “???”
Headmaster: “???”
Li Muyan: “What the heck?”
Jiangnan had rehearsed this excuse!
“Bloody hell! No wonder he looked familiar. That viral video on Weibo, the bald guy smashing a uni student with a stool—that’s South God!”
“No way? Dual-type awakening?”
“Got punched and awakened? That easy…?”
All eyes in Class One turned to Li Muyan, dawning with realisation.
So that’s what happened!
Jiangnan cracked her boyfriend’s head open yesterday! Hence this morning’s exchange…
The invigilator smiled, “Well, that’s your fortune. I’ll report this to the school. Dual-type awakeners are one in a million.”
“You’ll get an extra spiritual bead each month!”
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up, “Thanks, teacher!”
Stepping down, he approached Li Muyan.
With a shy grin, “Tell my mate Wang thanks when you’re at the hospital. Without him, I wouldn’t have awakened dual types!”
Li Muyan’s teeth itched with rage.
[Resentment Points from Li Muyan +999!]
What a cheeky move!
The classmates’ gazes on Jiangnan were now tinged with envy.
Awakening dual types from one punch?
Is there such a good deal in the world?
His luck was unreal!
Should they ask Li Muyan’s boyfriend for a punch too?
Invigilator: “Alright, next, Class One, Liu Wuquan!”
“Uh…”
“Those who didn’t get tested, the exam’s postponed until the new machine arrives!”
He realised Jiangnan’s punch had obliterated the machine. Test what now?
[Resentment Points from Invigilator +200!]
[Resentment Points from Liu Wuquan +666!]
…
The system’s Resentment Points list went wild, with untested students contributing a wave of points!
Jiangnan thought his classmates were just too adorable.
If there’s a next time, he’d definitely reform!
Hmm…
Maybe punch the machine out even earlier!
Cheeky indeed!
The monthly exam ended prematurely thanks to Jiangnan’s fist.
As the crowd dispersed, Li Xiang approached, sneering, “Don’t get too cocky. With your rubbish talent, dual-type awakening or not, you’ll only shine briefly!”
“You’ll be left in our dust sooner or later!”
Jiangnan flexed his fist, “What’s that, human excavator? Is your skull harder than the titanium-magnesium machine?”
Li Xiang: “…”
[Resentment Points from Li Xiang +888]
“Hmph! We’ll see!”
Watching Li Xiang storm off, Jiangnan was chuffed.
After Wang Lin, this guy was his second golden goose, steadily providing nearly 30,000 Resentment Points! Got to keep him fed!
After school, Jiangnan rode his bike straight to Jiangcheng Night Market!
On the way, he was already plotting his money-making scheme.
Jiangcheng Night Market, selling Strength Potions at his stall!
At the market, Jiangnan activated his spatial ability, opening a portal beside him.
As a spatial-type martial artist, he might not do much else, but the perk was opening a pocket dimension for storage.
With his current strength, he could maintain a three-cubic-metre space without effort.
Most of his stall goods were stored there!
Super convenient!
He spread out his square stall cloth, neatly arranging socks, pants, hairbands, and hairclips.
The only difference was ten mineral water bottles on the stall!
Their caps clearly opened, labels torn off.
Scrawled in marker on each bottle were four big words:
“Farmer’s Three Punches!”
These were the Strength Potions Jiangnan had pre-filled!
“Come one, come all, have a look, take a gander!”
“Socks, pants, hairbands, hairclips, cheap as chips!”
“Plus, ancestral Farmer’s Three Punches! Even tastes a bit sweet!”
