Among the crowd, Zheng Yuan silently cheered for Su Yuan.
As for Xu Anyan?
To be honest, she had no interest in this farce.
The only reason she stayed was to wait for Principal Xiao Jianguo to escort her to the Education Bureau for the SSS-rank Talent resource allocation certification.
…
“Hey, who do you think will win?”
“Even though I really don’t like Zhao Rizhu, he’s definitely going to win! Everyone’s still at 1st stage Awakening Stage. None of us even know how to properly use source energy. Obviously, whoever has the stronger Talent will win!”
“Damn it, how did that guy get to awaken an SS-rank Talent? That’s just dog-level luck.”
“What a shame. Hope Su Yuan doesn’t get beaten too badly.”
“Didn’t Su Yuan display some strange vision earlier? Maybe the Talent-Testing Stone really malfunctioned.”
“That possibility is too low. Besides, some lower-grade Talents can cause dramatic visions too. It’s hard to say.”
“True that.”
“You guys don’t get it. Even if Su Yuan only awakened a D-rank Talent, as long as he clings to Xu Anyan’s thigh, he’s bound to take off!”
“Didn’t you know? I heard Su Yuan and Xu Anyan don’t get along. They don’t even talk when they see each other.”
“That might not mean anything. Goddess Xu is the ultimate ice queen… She doesn’t talk to anyone, not just Su Yuan.”
“How can that be the same? Su Yuan lives with Xu Anyan! Living under the same roof means way more than anything else!”
…
Outside the arena, everyone was chattering.
Inside the arena—
Zhao Rizhu, unlike usual, didn’t open his mouth to mock anyone.
Right now, all he wanted was to viciously beat Su Yuan to a pulp, make him scream and beg under the jaws of his Dark Demon Wolf!
He raised his hand.
Endless black mist swirled and condensed in front of him, gradually solidifying into the form of the Dark Demon Wolf.
Its bloody eyes were as savage as ever, not weakened in the slightest despite its previous injuries.
“Roooar…”
A low growl came from its throat, filled with bloodlust.
Ordinary wolves had fangs, but this Dark Demon Wolf’s mouth was full of dense, needle-sharp teeth, making it chilling to behold.
“Attack!”
Zhao Rizhu pointed at Su Yuan, commanding the Dark Demon Wolf to strike!
“ROOOAAARRR!!!”
The beast let out a frenzied roar and lunged at its prey—Su Yuan.
…
In contrast, Su Yuan stood perfectly still.
Then—
Crack!
He suddenly stomped down!
Cracks instantly spread beneath his feet!
Using the immense recoil, Su Yuan shot forward like a cannonball!
Seeing this, the spectators were completely dumbfounded.
“That speed is insane!”
“Holy crap! He cracked the ground!?”
“What the hell? Is this guy’s physical strength for real?”
“He’s definitely cheating, right!?” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.

Before their gene awakenings, high school seniors only studied theory.
Sure, some students were in decent shape, but no one—absolutely no one—had the strength to shatter concrete underfoot!
And this speed… it wasn’t normal at all!
Far beyond human!
The only explanation was Talent!
But how could a D-rank Talent grant someone such outrageous physical ability?
On the stage, Principal Xiao Jianguo shot to his feet, eyes locked on Su Yuan’s figure with astonishment, “This explosive power, this speed… it’s at the level of 1st stage mid-tier physique!”
“A D-rank Talent can’t possibly grant this level of enhancement!”
“The Talent-Testing Stone really malfunctioned!”
1st stage mid-tier physique!
That level of strength might not seem monstrous, but—
Su Yuan had just awakened!
And the stone labeled him D-rank.
Even among the top-tier D-rank physique-enhancing Talents, none could give someone this kind of power!
Unless…
Just like Su Yuan said—
He wasn’t a D-rank Talent at all!
…
Xu Anyan’s beautiful eyes flickered.
This level of strength… 1st stage mid-tier?
A D-rank couldn’t possibly reach that.
So he wasn’t just bluffing?
The Talent-Testing Stone really did malfunction?
…
[Shock +1]
[Shock +2]
[Shock +1]
[Shock +3]
…
Hearing the system’s non-stop prompts, Su Yuan was thrilled.
This was awesome.
A wide, brilliant smile spread across his face.
Just then, he and the Dark Demon Wolf finally clashed.
The beast lunged and sank its teeth into Su Yuan’s left arm!
But—
“Can you even bite through me?”
Su Yuan smiled calmly.
With the Ancient God Bloodline running through him, his physique was unimaginably powerful—not something a mere SS-rank Dark Demon Wolf could even hope to challenge.
While the wolf was still dazed in confusion—
Su Yuan reached out with his right hand and clamped down on its neck like a steel vice.
Then—
And slammed it hard into the ground!
BOOM!
A thunderous crash echoed.
The earth split again, and a pit was smashed into the ground!
The Dark Demon Wolf lay in the center, its neck and body twisted at unnatural angles—clearly broken completely.
Moments later, it twitched twice…
Its body dimmed, faded, and finally dissolved into a wisp of dark mist, retreating back into Zhao Rizhu’s body.
This time, the damage was far worse than what Xu Anyan’s shadow strike had caused.
Zhao Rizhu’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
“Impossible…”
“This is impossible…”
…
Outside the arena—
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Everyone watching was stunned.
No way.
Su Yuan…
Had just used his bare hands to take on Zhao Rizhu’s SS-rank Dark Demon Wolf?
And he…
Actually won that easily!?
Was this guy some kind of humanoid monster!?
[Shock +3]
[Shock +4]
[Shock +11]
…
On the stage, it was the same stunned silence.
Zhao Ridou’s smug smile had completely frozen.
Zhao Rizhu’s crushing defeat was like a loud slap that landed square on his face—burning and humiliating.
He couldn’t understand it. He simply couldn’t.
Xu Anyan had awakened an SSS-rank Talent, so it made sense she could beat the Dark Demon Wolf easily.
But Su Yuan…
How!?
He was just a D-rank!
Why was his son’s SS-rank Talent so weak and pitiful in front of him?
In stark contrast stood Principal Xiao Jianguo.
“When that Dark Demon Wolf bit down on Su Yuan’s hand, it didn’t cause any injury at all…”
“This terrifying physical strength must be an SSS-rank physique-type Talent!”
“The Talent-Testing Stone definitely gave the wrong result!”
His face was filled with excitement. He made an immediate decision to have Su Yuan retest his Talent level!
He picked up the microphone.
“Student Su Yuan, please return to the Awakening Platform for a second Talent assessment…”
