Chapter 51 - 51 51 Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice a Lost Martial Art?_1 Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice a Lost Martial Art?_1 Zhang Jing’s warning was timely, but it was still too late.
In many traffic accidents, pedestrians usually don’t realize a car is bearing down on them until the very last moment.
So when that car crossed over the green belt and headed towards them, Zhang Jing’s shout to dodge came too late—his words had barely finished when the car was just a few meters away from him.
In the nick of time, someone appeared in front of them and kicked towards the approaching car.
However, against machinery, human strength is akin to using one’s arm to block a vehicle…
Bang!—
Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the car that was about to hit them was abruptly brought to a halt by that kick, making its rear end lift high into the air.
Even when that person put their foot down, there was a large dent in the front end of the car’s bumper.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
It took over ten seconds for someone to recover from the shock and exclaim:
“Damn! Luo Xi, which deity are you descended from?”
“Luo the Immortal saved my dog life today, from now on I’m your person!”
Even the driver inside the sedan was in shock, a look of utter bewilderment plastered across his drunken face.
Where am I?
Who am I?
What just happened?
Oh, I must not have sobered up yet.
Wang Yuanjie and Chen Yao came over, worried, and asked, “Luo Xi, how’s your leg? Are you alright?”
Luo Xi shook his head; he lightly hopped twice to feel out his shin.
Broken bones were unlikely, but bruising was certain.
No big deal.
Luckily the car wasn’t moving very fast, around fifty miles per hour. With his current strength of 26 points, he had managed to forcefully stop a small car in motion with a full-strength kick.
Of course, even with the car not being very fast, the impact force must have been at least a ton.
If it had been a dozens of tons heavier dump truck coming at him, or if it had been moving a bit faster, he probably wouldn’t have had such an easy time. He would likely have been sent reincarnating along with his classmates, after all, in the formula for kinetic energy, velocity is squared.
As more people arrived at the scene, some nearby shop owners noticed the commotion and checked their storefront security cameras.
When they saw from the footage the college student stopping the car with a single kick, everyone’s expression turned blank.
Is this guy even human?
This was a moving car, not some bicycle.
…
In a classically-styled office, a blonde woman watched with interest a video someone had uploaded online. Picking up her phone, she called her superior.
“Teamleader Zhang, I’ve discovered another Dreamland Traveler.”
“Where is this person from?”
“A senior from Haicheng University.”
“Have they obtained any remarkable talent or ability?”
“It’s not clear yet, but judging from the video, it seems to be strength-related. He stopped a BMW traveling around fifty miles per hour with one kick.”
“Well, that sounds pretty ordinary.”
“Should we recruit him?”
“No need for now. The second internal beta test is in two weeks, and there will be more slots available. Going forward we’ll see an increasing number of players like him, but we can’t take everyone into the team. We’re looking for potential, for people with good character and morals to join the team, and these are things that take time to evaluate. Remember, we’d rather have a vacancy than an unfit person.
Of course, you need to remind him to not do anything harmful to society. Send him a few case videos to watch, and a clever person will understand on their own.”
“Got it, Teamleader Zhang.”
….
After the accident, emergency vehicles and police arrived quickly.
As for the drunk driver, because of the sudden stop, they suffered multiple soft tissue injuries and were taken away in an ambulance.
Li Changzhi was a rookie cop who had just started on the job. Because he was closest to the scene, he was the first to arrive.
He too watched the surveillance video from a nearby shop with a baffled look.
Eventually, he found Luo Xi and asked, “Student, can you explain how you managed to stop that car?”
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi replied, “I learned this when I was a child from my grandpa. He said it’s the Invincible Leg of the Great Herculean King, a technique lost for eight hundred years, capable of splitting mountains and rocks, let alone stopping a small car.”
Li Changzhi: “…”
I don’t believe you for a second.
But this kick was already so extraordinary, it seemed it could only be explained by martial arts?
Ring ring ring—
Li Changzhi apologized to Luo Xi and picked up a phone call. After a while, he looked at Luo Xi:
“Student, you are free to go now.”
“Huh?”
Luo Xi was perplexed.
This doesn’t make sense, why would they just let him go?
“Ah, wait a moment.” Li Changzhi handed him the phone, saying, “Someone wants to talk to you.”
Luo Xi took the phone and took a deep breath: “Hello.”
“Luo Xi, hello, don’t be nervous.”
A gentle female voice laughed, “We’re aware of what you might have encountered recently. In fact, ever since you
