Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

Shadow Cat struggled to pull itself off the steel bars.

Lin Ran couldn't bear to see it in so much pain, so he decisively stepped forward and punched it in the head.

Bang!

The light spot explodes, points +200.

"Two hundred points, twice as much as the Ironclad Lizard."

Lin Ran pulled the steel bar out of the ground, bringing with it a lot of rubble and leaving a hole the size of a fist.

At this moment, a school-wide announcement popped up on the points panel.

"Announcement: Lin Ran from Class 1 of Senior 3 Martial Arts has accumulated 1,500 kills in C-level scenarios, breaking the record for the highest single-game score this year."

Lin Ran frowned slightly: "Didn't you overdo it...?"

Inside the training hall, Qin Hanzhong stared at the monitor screen.

The display screen in front of him was divided into dozens of small windows, each showing a real-time view from a holographic capsule.

The other students' scenes all showed them struggling against the mutants.

Some were chased all over the street by the Claw Rat, some barely managed to fend off the Armored Lizard with their weapons, and others were eliminated directly by the Shadow Cat's sneak attack.

Only window number eleven has a completely different style.

Lin Ran carried a steel bar through the ruins, and dealt with any mutants he encountered with a few blows.

After a series of intense battles, even his breathing remained steady.

Qin Hanzhong reached up and touched the stubble on his chin.

"What kind of tricks does this kid have?"

Zhao Meng was squatting behind a section of broken wall, panting heavily. The ironclad lizard's tail had just whipped his chest, leaving it still numb.

The announcement pops up at this time.

He stared at the line of text in the upper right corner of his vision, his mouth gradually opening.

"One thousand and five?"

Zhao Meng was slightly stunned. Just then, a sharp-clawed rat pounced from the side.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late; the clawed rat's claws had left three bloody scratches on his shoulder.

He stabbed the bone spur he had picked up into the claw rat's jaw with his other hand. The light exploded, and his score jumped by ten points.

"I'm still here fighting rats, and he's already racked up 1500 points?"

He glanced at his score: 490.

It's not even a fraction of Lin Ran's.

"Born with superhuman strength... that's a lie, isn't it?"

Zhao Meng gripped the bone spur tightly and stood up from behind the broken wall.

Three more clawed rats darted out from the rubble ahead, their scarlet eyes locking onto him.

"Fine, I can't lose face too much."

He exerted force with his feet, unleashing his speed-type talent to its fullest extent, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

At the same time, Bai Ruolin had just dealt with the second Shadow Cat, and her score jumped to 870.

Upon seeing the announcement, her pupils constricted slightly, then she took a deep breath: "Ordinary people, they really are hiding their true abilities!"

When Lin Ran punched Sun Jingyao away on the stage that morning, she knew this guy was no ordinary person.

But being able to get 1,500 points in a C-level scenario means that the guy's strength has reached a level that can crush a second-tier mutant.

How many secrets are you hiding?

She flipped and jumped down from the second floor, and the sound she made when she landed was noticed by an armored lizard.

"Let's see who reaches two thousand first!"

With that, she charged toward the armored lizard.

On the other screen, Lin Haozhe's score remained at 580.

His left shoulder had been ripped open by the shadow cat, and blood was still seeping out.

This bleeding condition will slow his movements, and if it lasts too long, he may be eliminated.

He was trying to stop the bleeding when a notification popped up.

"1,500 points!" His expression instantly turned extremely ugly: "Sometimes, people really are not in control of their own lives..."

At that moment, the shadow cat that had previously scratched him pounced on him again.

Lin Haozhe rolled to his side, his shoulder knocking over a pile of clutter in the stairwell.

The tin can hit the steps with a loud clang.

Shadowcat missed its target and immediately went into stealth mode upon landing.

Lin Haozhe gripped the dagger he had found earlier, his breathing slowing.

Clang!

The stealthy shadow cat stepped on a tin can, staggered, and became visible.

The dagger flew out of Lin Haozhe's hand.

bass!

The dagger sliced ​​across the shadow cat's hind leg, leaving a trail of blood droplets.

Shadow Cat let out a miserable cry and dragged its injured leg as it tried to escape upstairs.

Lin Haozhe pounced forward, pressing down on the back of Shadow Cat's neck with his left hand, and with a flick of his right hand, the dagger flew back into his hand.

With his A-level metal-type superpower, he was just able to control this dagger; if it were too heavy, it would probably be difficult to handle.

Pfft!

He plunged a knife into the shadow cat's neck, and the light exploded.

The score jumps to 780.

At this moment, messages also popped up on the communication wristbands of other students in the school.

Upon seeing this announcement, all the students were astonished.

"Are you kidding me? An ordinary person who hasn't awakened yet, with 1500 points?"

"Is it possible that he has actually awakened, but it just can't be detected?"

"With today's testing equipment being so precise, what situation could it not detect?"

"How would I know? But with his strength, who would believe he hasn't awakened it?"

Some of the eliminated students gathered around the screen, staring at Lin Ran's live feed, wanting to see just how freakish this guy was.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Lin Ran realized that his previous behavior was a bit out of line, so he deliberately slowed down his scoring speed.

His score did not break 1600 until the end of the virtual exercise.

After everyone walked out of the holographic capsule, Qin Hanzhong stood behind the monitoring station and pulled up the real-time physiological data of capsule number eleven.

Heart rate: 72.

Blood pressure: Normal.

"This physical strength..."

He glanced at Lin Ran, but ultimately said nothing more.

Zhao Meng leaned closer: "Brother Ran, how did you do that?"

"How did you do that?" Lin Ran asked knowingly.

"It's about points! How did you manage to get 1500 points in such a short time?"

Lin Ran feigned surprise: "Oh, just lucky, nothing more."

He hasn't received the awakening potion yet, so his persona as an ordinary person is no longer sustainable.

Lin Haozhe walked over: "Brother Ran, the car is already waiting outside the training hall."

"Okay." Lin Ran looked at Zhao Meng: "See you tomorrow."

Lin Haozhe felt a tightness in his chest at Lin Ran's indifferent attitude.

He had to wait for Lin Ran to go to school and remind him after school; he felt like a servant now.

I've never been treated like this before.

It's all Lin Ran's fault!

The Rolls-Royce Phantom smoothly drove out of the school gate.

Inside the car, it was Lin Haozhe who spoke first: "Brother Ran, have you awakened yet?"

Lin Ran casually replied, "No, as I said, I came to the Lin family for the awakening potion."

"I see... Sun Jingyao has an A-level talent, ranking in the top five in the senior martial arts class."

Lin Haozhe carefully chose his words: "You already have this kind of strength before you've even awakened. I can't even imagine what it will be like after you use the gene serum..."

"Don't worry, I won't take your position as the young master of the Lin family." Lin Ran looked out the window: "If nothing unexpected happens, I can leave the Lin family once I get the gene serum."

"No, Ran-ge. I didn't mean that!" Lin Haozhe quickly waved his hand. "I just think you're really amazing."

The street scene rushed past the car window, and neon lights lit up one after another.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit more relaxed than yesterday.

Song Yishu kept piling food onto Lin Ran's plate, making the bowl overflow with food.

"How are you adjusting to Xinhai No.1 Middle School today?" Lin Hongbo asked casually.

Lin Ran nodded: "It's alright."

"I heard you beat up one of the Sun family's boys?"

The news spread really fast.

Lin Ran swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke again: "He wanted to give me a gift, and I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I had to accept it."

"Sure enough, people who like to cause trouble will cause trouble wherever they go." Lin Zhiyao pouted.

"Third sister, don't say that." Lin Haozhe quickly defended Lin Ran: "Brother Ran didn't cause trouble. It was Sun Jingyao who provoked Brother Ran."

Lin Zhiyao scoffed, "Then why doesn't he provoke others? Why does he have to provoke Lin Ran?"

In fact, she already knew that Lin Ran had been targeted by Sun Jinghuan before, and now that Sun Jingyao was provoking Lin Ran, it must be related to Sun Jinghuan.

But she deliberately asked the question she already knew the answer to, clearly trying to make Lin Ran uncomfortable.
