Chapter 21: His Secret Must Be Uncovered
The gravity chamber assessment ended amidst widespread lamentation.
Lin Yuan yawned and slowly walked back to the group from Gaowu No.1 Middle School.
"Ah Yuan! Your luck is just unbelievable!"
His best friend Zhao Hai immediately came to greet him, his chubby face full of incredulous relief.
"To actually pass out under three times gravity and not suffer any internal injuries? You're practically a gift from God!"
Lin Yuan gave a few perfunctory words and then leaned against a big tree to close his eyes and rest.
He doesn't care what others think of him.
however.
In the medical rest area not far away, a cold gaze remained fixed on him as if it were a tangible object.
Su Qinghan sat in the chair, letting the medic treat her wounds.
In her mind, countless seemingly unrelated yet eerie clues were frantically piecing together and rearranging themselves!
"Purely physical style..."
Su Qinghan silently chewed on these five words, and suddenly a dazzling light shot out from her beautiful eyes!
That's right! It's purely physical!
Last night, that white-faced killing god senior, who seemed to descend like a deity, did not use a single bit of his true energy!
Relying entirely on its domineering and unparalleled pure physical mass, as well as the air pressure changes brought about by the expansion of its chest cavity, it instantly crushed the four Xuanhai Realm assassins!
And what strange abilities Lin Yuan has displayed in the past two days, isn't based on absolute control over his physical body?
The micro-operation of unloading force in front of the testing instrument that caused the titanium alloy to shatter.
The turtle-like breathing body tempering in the gravity chamber completely defies biological norms!
This is absolutely the true essence of martial arts passed down through generations!
How could that arrogant good-for-nothing who only knows how to smash things randomly with his inner energy and uses his classmates as shields when in danger possibly be the successor of a Grandmaster?
"The true successor who received the complete teachings of that peerless master..."
"It's always been hidden beneath this 'good-for-nothing' shell that everyone laughs at!"
Thinking of this, Su Qinghan felt her blood boiling!
She finally understood why that elusive grandmaster had suddenly appeared in the dense forest outside the camp last night.
The senior wasn't trying to save her at all!
It wasn't to save that arrogant, clown!
The senior was secretly protecting his precious disciple, Lin Yuan!
As for that carefree fat Zhao Hai, he only got a bottle of healing medicine as a reward from the senior because he was Lin Yuan's best friend!
Everything makes sense now!
"Lin Yuan, you've kept this a secret from the whole world for so long."
Su Qinghan bit her pale lips tightly, her heart pounding like a drum.
If it weren't for her top-notch martial arts intuition, and if it weren't for her two close observations of Lin Yuan's micro-management, she would have been completely different.
Who would have thought that a true dragon from the heavens was lurking in this seemingly ordinary high school?!
"No, I must verify this hypothesis myself."
An unprecedented determination flashed in Su Qinghan's eyes.
Tomorrow is the actual combat training exercise deep into the mutated forest.
At that time, the camp will break everyone up and send them into the danger zone in batches for survival assessment.
"I must find an opportunity to probe and discover his true colors!"
"If he truly is the sole successor of a Grandmaster, then I must befriend him no matter what. This would be an immense stroke of luck for me and for the Su family!"
This military prodigy, who was always as aloof as an iceberg, now had a crazy fighting spirit burning in his heart.
Just as Su Qinghan was secretly devising a plan to test the waters.
Lin Yuan, who was leaning against a tree, suddenly rubbed his stomach and frowned slightly.
"I'm so hungry..."
Last night, he devoured 105,000 times of Qi and Blood in one go. The initial unlocking of the Extreme Battle Body brought an incredibly terrifying energy consumption to his body.
His stomach acid was churning wildly, making a barely perceptible rumbling sound.
Lunch was served at the campsite on time at noon.
Each person receives a palm-sized piece of high-strength synthetic nutritional meat, which is said to provide a martial artist with the energy and blood they need for a day.
Zhao Hai held the piece of meat, eating it with gusto, his mouth greasy and sizzling with oil, exclaiming how satisfying it was.
But Lin Yuan's eyes twitched as he looked at the piece of meat in his hand that smelled of industrial flavoring.
He swallowed it in two gulps.
The dark blue numbers on the system panel didn't even flash once.
There wasn't even a 0.01% increase in compression speed!
For Lin Yuan, who needs to undergo 200,000 compressions to fully unlock his second-tier battle body.
This low-quality energy isn't even worthy of being used to fill his teeth!
"Hunger feels like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart."
"If I keep going this hungry, my energy engine will stop running due to lack of fuel."
Lin Yuan raised his head.
His dark, deep eyes stared intently at the gloomy, dense, mutated primeval forest outside the special training camp.
I heard that there are many plump, third- and fourth-tier alien beasts in that deep danger zone designated by the military.
The original flesh and blood of those high-level alien beasts are all pure, natural, high-purity energy blocks!
Lin Yuan subconsciously licked his dry lips, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes like that of a hungry wolf.
"Tomorrow's practical training exercise will be an absolutely golden opportunity."
"We need to find a way to shake off the main force."
"We need to go to that deep, dangerous area and have a proper all-you-can-eat buffet..."
The two were separated by half a square, each lost in their own thoughts.
Quietly awaiting tomorrow's training session.
