Chapter 90

The replenishment was definitely luxurious .

Tang Ling managed to spot exhaustion in Su Yao last night and the wound that was recovering under his large overcoat . Su Yao must have gone through some difficult hurdles to get all the required ingredients .

Tang Ling did not mention any of it though he etched every detail in his heart . If he did not get any enhancement from the soup, he would hate himself instead .

Before the soup, his normal punch was around 580 kgs of force .

Fortunately, Su Yao had his back . Otherwise, with such a huge difference in the measurement, Tang Ling would never have passed the test .

“Giving your best here isn’t a wise decision . ” Yang Kong commented . It was indeed unwise . The following tests, especially the reflex test, were very stamina-consuming . Could Tang Ling still pass?

“B-But I don’t have a choice . If… if not because of…” Tang Ling tried to defend himself . If he did not know the consequences of his decision, it would have seemed fake .

“Because of what?” Yang Kong raised a brow . He was half a scientist, so he would never spare any sensitive analysis, and Alan would never stop Yang Kong from questioning either .

“Ah…?” Tang Ling was a little regretful for spilling the details, but since Yang Kong had voiced his question, he took a deep breath and said in once breath as if he had just made a huge decision, “My body can absorb nutrition very fast . It’s also the reason behind my huge appetite . Under extremely rare circumstances, my ability allows me to absorb a huge amount of nutrition and grant myself an explosive boost for a period of time . ”

“Extremely rare means?” Yang Kong added a question .

“It means I can’t use it often . If I use my ability, I can’t perform again for another half a month to a month . ” Tang Ling then looked down, seemingly guilty of his ability .

“Hmm…” Yang Kong was a little lost in the situation as he looked at Alan for a solution .

Tang Ling’s action was considered scrapping the rules . While it was not considered as going against it, it could not be considered as normal as well .

However, Yang Kong did not spare extra attention at Tang Ling after asking about his ability .

It was really an insignificant one and not entirely rare . It was not as stellar as the performance that Tang Ling showed during his first exam either . Yang Kong was more interested in Tang Ling’s earlier performance albeit him not showing any special color during his talent test .

“It’s considered a pass . High nutrition paste doesn’t go against any rules . ” Alan gave his own insight into the difficult situation that Yang Kong tossed him .

Andy cheered for Tang Long, and Orston casually added, “No wonder your general results are so good . Is it because of the explosive boost from your eating? It must be . That explains your appetite, but it’s a little unfortunate that the explosive boost is just temporary . You should keep it to make it worthwhile . ” Orston meant well and even added a reminder for Tang Ling .

Although Orston was simply bullsh*tting, it made sense on second thought . The explosive boost had its limits but converting it into a shorter duration and spreading it out should be plausible, should it not?

It was also considered an ability and was very helpful during an actual battle . Although it was not an inheritance like Orston’s and Yu’s, it was still an ability of sorts .

The two girls rolled their eyes at Orston, but he did not care .

The invigilators were all very calm at Tang Ling’s reaction which disappointed him .

Is the mastermind not among the instructors? Despite that, Lionel showed a flash of miscalculation which was captured by Tang Ling .

But who cared? Lionel was already an obvious enemy .

The test continued .

There was no pretending in the speed test, and after running 100 meters ten times, Tang Ling was able to produce a decent result with 6 . 8 seconds .

It was within expectations because even without the speed tester, people would have a general feeling about speed . If he feigned his speed under that many pairs of eyes, would it not make the enemy seem a little too stupid?

Of course, Tang Ling should be more exhausted than before .

He was already exhausted from the 50 punches, so he should not have had enough time to recover during the ten 100-meter runs .

As a matter of fact, Tang Ling intentionally controlled his speed . His true speed could reach 5 . 5 seconds per hundred meters or even faster if he gave it his fullest .

“Pass . ” Yang Kong was more or less relieved . The improvement in speed for a weak talent like Tang Ling was considered amazing .

After all, during the first exam, Tang Ling’s speed was only at an average, somewhat poor, range, which was around 8 seconds .

“Do your best during the third . ” Out of his personal feelings, Yang Kong encouraged Tang Ling . He really did not want to see Fei Long’s face when he came back and heard that Tang Ling was kicked out of the First Reserved Camp .

However, in Tang Ling’s condition…

Not only Yang Kong, even Andy and the two girls were worried about him .

Thuja felt a little troubled as well . Even though the boy’s general result during the training was mostly because of the food that he ate, his willpower and virtues were not part of the credit of the food .

As for Tang Ling’s condition, Thuja tended to lean towards Orston’s lousy eating theory . Tang Ling himself did not deny it either, did he?

Nonetheless, Thuja really hoped Tang Ling could pass the test, but at the same time, he sighed in his heart, exclaiming the importance of talent . He did not expect Tang Ling to be the one who ran into problems and danger during the test .

Even with all the worries, Tang Ling was not that nervous . He wiped his sweat and even had the mood to ask Yang Kong for a bottle of water . After he finished it, he calmly walked to the reflex testing machine .

“Oh, I almost forgot about his prediction ability . ” Yang Kong chuckled . It was a topic that he had once discussed with Fei Long . He was surprised that Tang Ling seemed to have the ability to predict movement and possessed powerful battle wisdom .

As for what battle wisdom was, Yang Kong was not concerned, but his prediction ability was an expertise that was widely recognized in this era .

It was somewhat magical, but it would not be displayed on the Genetic Chain Talent . If there must be some signs, it would be that 80% of all the people with prediction abilities had an exceptionally powerful spirit .

Of course, a person with a powerful spirit would also show up in the Genetic Chain, but not everyone with a powerful spirit possessed the prediction ability . It was something similar to instinct, like how the spirits of beasts were not as powerful as humans but they possessed this kind of ability .

In conclusion, a person with a powerful spirit had a higher chance to possess prediction ability than a normal person .

However, the prediction should be an instinct of sorts and should not be neglected either because it was powerful, especially during battle .

It was a lot more helpful than natural agile reflexes . Reflexes could not catch up to instinct .

What exactly was instinct? It was too difficult to explain .

Was it reaction without action?

All sorts of mystery revolving around the human body piqued Yang Kong’s excitement .

On the other hand, Tang Ling had begun his reflex test .
