Chapter 60: Burst of Gigantic Strength

When Tobin arrived at the Ancient Martial Arts classroom, there were already quite a few students present, busy warming up. The moment they saw Tobin step inside, everyone paused. A variety of strange looks were cast his way, accompanied by hushed whispers.

Tobin curled his lips in a sneer, completely ignoring them, and jogged over to start his own warm-up.

As for ancient martial arts, he was genuinely prepared to study it properly. Not for any grand reason, but at the very least, it would significantly increase his chances of survival in the future.

Tobin cherished his precious little life quite a bit; after all, it hadn't been easy growing up to this point.

When class time arrived, the instructor teaching ancient martial arts had not yet shown up. The students felt a slight sense of confusion, but instead of leaving immediately, they continued warming up in the classroom or sparred with one another in small groups.

After about ten minutes, a tall and striking figure walked into the classroom, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.

When Tobin caught sight of this person, he was even more dumbfounded, because the newcomer was none other than Alva.

"Huh? Didn't they say the ancient martial arts professor was a man? Why is it her again?" Tobin felt extremely puzzled. He had checked the course schedule beforehand, and the ancient martial arts instructor should have been a male warrior at the fifth stage.

"Professor Tost has resigned from his teaching position at Starsea Academy due to personal matters. The school has arranged for me to take over his duties and serve as your ancient martial arts teacher for this semester," Alva said as she walked up to the podium, her gaze sweeping casually across the room.

The moment Alva's voice trailed off, a wave of cheers immediately erupted from the crowd, all the male students displaying undisguised excitement.

Alva acted as though she hadn't noticed the students' reactions. She simply said indifferently, "Class is starting now. Everyone, line up in formation."

Hearing Alva's command, all the students quickly fell into line, standing at attention across the classroom.

With a mental sigh of "It's a small world after all," Tobin took his place in the queue as well. He knew that Alva would undoubtedly seize this opportunity to thoroughly put him through the wringer.

Seeing that everyone was in position, Alva paced back and forth across the podium twice before speaking: "Since you are cultivating ancient martial arts, you must understand what ancient martial arts actually are, and why they are capable of erupting with such immense power. I don't know how your previous teachers instructed you, but now that I am teaching you, you must remember that practicing ancient martial arts is, in essence, a process of human self-liberation. In truth, the body of every single individual possesses a destructive potential comparable to an S-class warship. It is merely bound and restrained by human consciousness. Once this power is unleashed, it can generate heaven-shaking, earth-shattering might..."

The moment Alva's words left her lips, a jolt went through the hearts of every student present. Even the male students temporarily pushed aside thoughts of Alva's sexy figure and plunged into deep contemplation.

Hearing Alva speak in this manner, Tobin furrowing his brow slightly as he pondered her words. Alva's statements undoubtedly contained profound truths.

Alva lectured for about twenty minutes, and every student listened with rapt attention. Finally, Alva glanced at the crowd below and said, "I've said quite a lot. Now, let's have a student come up and experience this powerful force within the human body firsthand."

Hearing Alva's words, the students below snapped out of their deep thoughts, each of them itching with excitement, eager to volunteer.

However, without waiting for any student to raise their hand and recommend themselves, Alva pointed straight at Tobin in the back row and said, "Student Tobin, why don't you come up and demonstrate. I heard that when you were on Tumu Star, you killed twenty-seven Jemi bugs all by yourself in under a minute. Surely your understanding of ancient martial arts must be quite profound."

Tobin let out a silent groan internally: *Damn it, I knew it would be like this! I have no idea how she plans to torture me, but after being tortured by Xingmeng for so long, am I really going to be afraid of her?*

With that thought, Tobin walked up with an expression of utter resignation.

There were numerous training apparatuses scattered around the classroom. Alva had Tobin stand in front of a tensile dynamometer, a faint, unintentional glint of mischievous amusement flashing in her eyes as she spoke: "As everyone knows, people can unleash physical potential several times their normal capacity during a crisis. This is actually a process of self-liberation. However, that process of liberation is controlled by our subconscious, while our conscious minds cannot control it. What we need to do is learn to control this liberation ourselves. Student Tobin, please step in front of this tension dynamometer."

Seeing the look on Alva's expression, Tobin knew she was planning to mess with him. Yet, as a student, he could not disobey a teacher's order, so he had no choice but to step in front of the dynamometer, muttering inwardly: *Little missy, if you dare to push me too far, I swear I'll use every means necessary to ravage you.*

"These two students, tie Tobin's hands and feet to the tensile dynamometer," Alva instructed, pointing to two male students.

Hearing Alva's command, the two male students immediately stepped forward and securely bound Tobin to the dynamometer. Normally, a dynamometer was only used to measure a person's current physical strength by gripping it with one's hands and pulling or striking it.

Now, Alva had actually had Tobin tied up, leaving everyone extremely curious about what she intended to do.

Alva walked over, checked whether Tobin was tied securely, and finally nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, students, now I will demonstrate the immense energy generated after potential is stimulated. Under what circumstances do people generally stimulate their potential? Usually when their survival is threatened, or when the lives of those they care about are in danger, and so on. At such moments, the subconscious automatically flashes into action. However, since we cannot simulate a life-threatening situation right now, we must use another method of stimulation—pain. Extreme pain can stimulate the powerful potential of the human body, allowing a person to burst forth with strength several times beyond their normal limits."

Hearing this, Tobin instantly understood what Alva was planning to do. Gritting his teeth, he cursed furiously in his heart: *Damn it, this vicious little woman is too ruthless! She actually plans to torture me like this. Just wait and see how I ravage her in the future.*

"Alright, now I will channel the true energy within my body to strike Tobin's specific meridians. This will cause him to experience excruciating pain, which in turn will unleash his formidable strength. Everyone can observe just how high his power output can reach. Tobin is only a first-stage martial warrior, and his maximum strength output should normally cap out at around 5T. However, once I stimulate his potential, his strength can soar even higher, potentially reaching over 10T." A trace of a smile danced in Alva's eyes as she slowly walked over to Tobin's side.

"Teacher, don't you think this method is a bit too cruel? Can't we choose something else? If a teacher as gentle and beautiful as you resorts to this kind of training method, you'll definitely be criticized by others. For the sake of your reputation, Teacher, I think it would be better to switch to another method." As Tobin watched Alva approach, a sudden feeling of goosebumps crawled all over his body.

Even though Xingmeng had hacked him to death countless times and he had endured Reina's brutal torment, the taste of such torture was still unpleasant, after all.

Moreover, Alva's method of pure pain-induced stimulation would likely be even more agonizing. Therefore, it was better to avoid experiencing it if possible.

"Student Tobin, as a member of the Lei family, are you really afraid of such a tiny test? That won't do at all. You must remember that every single member of the Lei family is a hero; you cannot act like a coward. Alright, let's begin now. Teacher believes you will definitely succeed." Without giving Tobin a chance to speak further, Alva reached out and jabbed her finger directly into one of Tobin's pressure points.

Instantly, Tobin felt a soul-piercing wave of agony wash through his body—it hurt even more than when Reina had beaten him last time. It was only then that Tobin realized Reina had actually been holding back.

"Aah..." Tobin let out a miserable shriek, his limbs instantly thrashing violently.

Because his limbs were bound to the dynamometer, Tobin's violent movements caused the digital readout on the dynamometer behind him to spike immediately.

"Everyone look, his current strength has effortlessly reached 6T. But this is not enough; there is still room for improvement. Keep watching." As she spoke, Alva tapped Tobin's body a few more times, pouring in a substantial amount of extra force.

"Aah..." Tobin let out another agonizing wail, cursing Alva up to his eighth generation of ancestors in his heart. This time, the pain was even more excruciating, causing him to struggle with his body with redoubled frenzy.

Because of the extreme physical pain, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Tobin's mind. Fragments of images from his dreams—where he had countless times transformed into an unparalleled martial arts grandmaster—suddenly flooded into his consciousness.

In an instant, they fused together perfectly. With a ferocious struggle of his body, accompanied by several loud *pop* sounds, all four ropes binding him snapped apart. The momentum of his strength remaining unchecked, Tobin lunged forward, knocking Alva flying and slamming heavily on top of her.

Since Alva was slightly taller than Tobin, this collision resulted in Tobin's head smashing straight into Alva's generous breasts.

Alva was wearing a T-shirt today, and her deep cleavage was already faintly visible. Now that Tobin's head had smashed directly against it, he burrowed straight into the neckline of Alva's top.

Although Tobin's consciousness was still somewhat hazy, his instincts told him that these were Alva's breasts. He had already fantasized about this countless times in his dreams; how could he possibly let go now? He immediately wrapped his arms tightly around Alva, pressed his mouth firmly against her skin, and thrust his tongue out to lick her fiercely.

"Ah..." This time it was Alva's turn to let out a cry of shock. However, Tobin's strength at that moment was astonishingly great. She struggled twice, yet failed to break free. That tickling, sensitive sensation left her feeling both humiliated and enraged, her face flushing crimson in an instant.

After a full five or six seconds, Tobin's mind gradually cleared, and the terrifying strength from moments before dissipated. Only then did Alva manage to shake Tobin off and kick him flying with a single blow.

"Aah..." Tobin let out a miserable shriek, faking unconsciousness mid-air as he plummeted. He knew that this was the moment Alva was at the height of her fury; if he showed any signs of being fine, he would definitely be severely beaten up by her.

However, if he pretended to pass out—especially since Alva had resorted to unorthodox methods—she would bear the heavy responsibility for the incident and certainly wouldn't dare to punish him any further.
