What is bodily strength?

[ZackMoon1234]

Ancient Strengthening Technique - Chapter 17

So I'm reading a light novel and it seems like the way they gauge their strength is by the chinese measurement called "jin"

Is bodily strength referring to how powerful their punches can be (D/C) or their body's defense (durability)?

His body can exert more than 10,000 jin

"Reaching the peak of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, Qing Shui could feel that the current might he was capable of exerting, was more than 10,000 jin just based on his bodily strength alone."

Confirmation that he can exert more than 10,000 jin (17)

"Thanks to that, the toughness of my body has already reached an inconceivable state, capable of exerting a force of more than 10,000 jin."

Huh is that stellar transformations that you are reading? I am also reading it as well, also interested in the answer to this question.

A jin is around 596.816 grams or 1.316 pounds.

Probably referring to pressure.

It's Ancient Strengthening Technique

I know 10,000 jin would be 5000 kg, the question is what would that translate to in terms of ap though

So it's not a D/C or Durability?

 

[fandom_12cheeper]

Realistically,it's gonna be like,wall level.

I used a jin to ton converter and it seems to be 5 ton. Using the AP page, it's Large Building, but I don't know if it can be applied as D/C since "Jin" seems to be a weight measurement according to a friend

Yeah,doesn't work like that.Jin is a unit of mass so you can only convert to another unit of mass.In order to get a proper energy value assuming this is Jin/m^2 you would have to assume a surface area of his fists and multiply it by the pressure value.

Yea from what i remember series like this differentiates between lifting strength and what you hit with, mc of stellar transformation can lift like 2000 jin but strike with 10,000 jin, so think maybe we can take it as striking strength since it makes that difference.

 

[fandom_12cheeper]

Meh,either way it isn't particularly strong.

Well, at the current translated chapters (930+), the MC has at least 920,000,000,000 jin worth of strength, and a higher amount of jin for his defense.


I wonder how I'm gonna get the MC's D/C and Durability now

 

[fandom_12cheeper]

You'd prob be better off searching for actual feats.

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

@12cheeper Just noticed the earlier reply so basically would have to find how much energy is in those 5 ton fist, ok.

Chinese novels like these always through around these kind of feats, taking about 10000 jin of force and stuff, it's a genre called wuxia apparently.

You can get op ones though like the mc of stellar transformation who becomes a universe creator and can manipulate time, space and fate, just have to get through 600+ chapters so i can add him to the wiki, on hiatus at moment reading something else.

 

[ZackMoon1234]

I'll find actual feats for this MC so I can make him fight some people in the future.

@Celestial Pegasus What are you reading currently?

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

@Zack Tensei Shitara Slime datta ken the characters are ridiculously op, only has 200+ chapters so trying to go through it first before anything.
