Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 94 Young People Always Have Spirit

An old residential community in Huacheng.

Wang Ziming, a high school sophomore, carried a stainless steel basin bigger than his face and frantically rummaged through it with his chopsticks. A large basin of rice mixed with braised pork broth was emptied in less than three minutes.

He put down the empty bowl, grabbed half a roast chicken from the table, tore off a large piece with the skin and meat, and ate it in big bites.

"Eat slowly!"

Seeing her son's hearty appetite, Liu Cuihong pushed another bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup towards him.

Wang Ziming picked up the soup bowl his mother handed him and gulped it down.

He patted his stomach and let out a satisfied burp after finishing the whole roast chicken.

"Ziming, are you really determined to participate in that extraordinary assessment?"

"If you actually pass the exam and become a superhuman, will you still have to fight those monsters?"

"Isn't this very dangerous?"

"Maybe we shouldn't go. Let's just stay home, study, get into a regular university, get married, and live a stable life!"

"OK?"

Liu Cuihong asked with a worried expression.

Wang Ziming grabbed a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Listening to his mother's nagging, a series of events that had happened this summer involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

This summer vacation was truly thrilling for him.

First, Lao Zhang, a neighbor and fishing buddy who fished with my dad, was dragged into the water by something late at night. He was never seen alive or dead.

Several days later, they heard the news by chance that the angler had been dragged into the water and eaten by a super crocodile while fishing alone at night.

Because of this incident, Mom confiscated all of Dad's fishing gear and strictly forbade him from going fishing again.

A few days later, the family went to visit their grandparents in the countryside, and unfortunately, they encountered a ghost again.

He got up to pee in the middle of the night and heard a baby crying incessantly in a neighbor's house that should have been empty. He was so scared that he almost peed himself.

The next day, when they tried to leave, they encountered the "ghost wall" again and couldn't get out of the village no matter how they tried.

He couldn't remember much after that. His last memory was that he was hiding behind his grandmother's front door and, through the crack in the door, he seemed to see the silhouette of a huge tiger flash by in the village.

Later, when they regained their memories, they had already been sent to the hospital. Their mother was so frightened that she fell ill and had a high fever for three or four days before recovering.

Then, after only half a month of peace, strange things happened again at the power plant where my dad worked. It inexplicably caught fire twice. I heard that some kind of flame person was causing trouble there and almost burned the power plant down.

Later, the TV said it was some kind of spiritual revival and extraordinary rise. My parents were terrified and decided to stay at home and not go anywhere.

They even bought a lot of rice, noodles, instant noodles, and salt to stock up on.

Then a torrential downpour hit, flooding all their stockpiled supplies and forcing them to flee to the mountains overnight with the local government officials to take shelter from the rain.

This series of events left his parents terrified and anxious, and also gave Wang Ziming a profound sense of powerlessness, as well as an indescribable and stimulating feeling.

Aside from the one time he was so scared by a baby crying in the middle of the night that he almost couldn't urinate, all other extraordinary events gave him an exciting urge to participate in them personally.

He initially thought this was just his fantasy, since his parents were ordinary people and had no chance of ever coming into contact with the extraordinary.

What awaits him is the start of school on September 1st, where he can go to school diligently, prepare for the college entrance examination, and then live a peaceful and ordinary life under the protection of the country in this extraordinary era.

But just three days after the rainstorm ended and they returned home, CCTV's evening news program suddenly devoted ten minutes to showcasing a performance of the ninth set of national broadcast gymnastics.

The host also stated that this set of broadcast gymnastics was tailored by the state based on the physical condition of the Chinese people. Daily practice can not only strengthen the body and prolong life, but if one becomes proficient and meets the requirements, one may even be selected by the state to become an extraordinary person in the future.

This news immediately provoked a strong reaction from Wang Ziming, or rather, a strong reaction from everyone.

Wang Ziming remembers that at that time, almost everyone in his family, including his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, was trying to practice that radio calisthenics.

He exchanges ideas in various family groups every day, and even when he goes out on the street, the aunties who used to dance in the square every day have switched to doing aerobics.

Wang Ziming was also practicing, and he put a lot of effort into it. He used to play basketball with his friends every day during the summer vacation, but he gave up his basketball addiction to practice aerobics.

To master the aerobics, he watched the official videos and accompanying breathing techniques every day, gradually correcting his improper posture and breathing as he followed the movements.

At first, he played very easily, and could easily play ten or eight times a day.

But gradually he found that the exercise was getting harder and harder. By the tenth day of his practice, he could only do it three times a day, and each time he would be drenched in sweat and need to rest for a long time before he could continue.

After practicing for a month, he could only manage to play once a day at most before he couldn't take it anymore. Moreover, his daily food intake also increased dramatically, almost doubling from a month ago. Apart from him, everyone around him remained the same, without any changes.

This made his parents very worried, and they even took him to see a doctor, but Wang Ziming felt that he had probably mastered the basics of the fitness exercises mentioned in the video.

He told his parents about his idea and asked them to take him to the Extraordinary Biological Research Institute in Huacheng, which specializes in testing whether aerobics meets the requirements.

The result was a pleasant surprise. He had indeed mastered the basics of cultivation, and the person who tested him also told him that his talent was exceptional and that he had passed the first round of assessment.

If you are willing to embark on the path of becoming an extraordinary being, call him before August 25th, and they will send a car to pick you up to undergo the next round of trials.

Thinking about these things, Wang Ziming's face became serious.

This summer's experience truly opened a door to a new world for him.

That power that transcends reason truly appeared around him.

This made his already restless heart, which was already aroused by his youth, even more restless.

He didn't want to go back to doing those tedious math problems, and he certainly didn't want to wait for someone to rescue him every time a crisis occurred.

If he misses this opportunity, he might not even be able to protect his parents if he encounters that kind of monster again.

He didn't want to be a useless person who could only hide at home trembling with fear when encountering ghosts or monsters.

So at this moment, he looked at his mother and spoke with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Mom, I want to go!"

"For you and your father to live a stable life, and for the rise of China."

"This is our responsibility as young people."
