118: Reverse Super Adrenaline

When Shen Bei left the martial arts hall, pleased with his gains, everyone present was in a state of extreme shock and silent astonishment.

In the recent battle between Yu Qiuyi and Shen Bei, Yu Qiuyi displayed strength beyond anyone's imagination.

Especially her True Qi release, where one sword strike unleashed multiple swords simultaneously to attack the enemy, was incredibly shocking.

Putting aside everything else, just this one Martial Skill was enough to dominate all the students in the school.

She was only a freshman.

It truly made the sophomores feel ashamed.

They had originally thought that Yu Qiuyi, with this trump card, would pull Shen Bei, who was so arrogant, down from his pedestal.

The result… Shen Bei had also Cultivated True Qi!

A single coin turned the tide, and the situation reversed sharply; Shen Bei grabbed her by the neck at close quarters, directly throwing Yu Qiuyi out of the ring!

These students only snapped out of their daze when Shen Bei's figure had disappeared.

A huge wave of sound began to rumble through the martial arts hall:

"What! Yu Qiuyi lost even with that?"

"Shen Bei is too terrifying!"

"Hiss~~ Both sides threw bombs right from the start, but Shen Bei had the ultimate bomb!"

"The school beauty lost big, giving away a Martial Skill for nothing."

"How detestable Shen Bei is, he doesn't even know how to cherish and protect pretty girls, throwing such a beautiful school beauty onto the ground. If it were me, I'd be too heartbroken to do that."

"Indeed, the strong get stronger."

"I feel like there's a good chance for this year's National Exchange Competition."

…

At this moment, Jian Tong smiled triumphantly, looking at Yu Qiuyi's disheveled appearance, feeling secretly pleased.

A faint, spring-like smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Hmph hmph hmph!

Little Yu Qiuyi, you truly brought this upon yourself!

In Jian Tong's opinion, Shen Bei's ruthless act of throwing Yu Qiuyi away meant that Shen Bei didn't fancy her.

He was expressing his feelings for her.

She rested her jade hand on her cheek, her autumn-water-like beautiful eyes filled with subtle expressions.

Her captivating beautiful eyes watched Shen Bei leave, with shyness, longing, and affection interwoven into a beautiful portrait.

"Hey, hey."

Yu Panpan waved her hand in front of Jian Tong's eyes: "He's already gone, what are you still spacing out for?"

Jian Tong exclaimed, "No, nothing."

Hu Lan bent down slightly, noticing a button was about to pop, then straightened her back and asked, "Jian Tong, Shen Bei is your brother, right?"

Jian Tong immediately turned cold as frost, giving her a glare: "I said on the first day of school, he's not my brother!"

"What a pity," Zhou Qi sighed.

The three of them naturally knew the relationship between Shen Bei and Jian Tong.

They were just teasing her at this moment.

Jian Tong tossed her smooth hair, saying somewhat proudly, "How is Shen Bei?"

The three of them exchanged glances and answered in unison: "Your husband is amazing!"

Jian Tong: ???

No, wait a minute— Although those words were compliments, why did they sound a little off?

Although they were adjectives, they seemed to have the meaning of a verb…

…

Outside the hall.

The Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group walked in silence.

Qi Chuanyu couldn't help but speak: "Damn it, what's wrong with this world? I don't understand it anymore."

Du Ziteng sniffed: "I don't understand either. Recently, several girls have given me the 'nice guy' card."

"Are we talking about the same thing?" Qi Chuanyu scoffed: "With your IQ, just forget about girls, spend some money."

"You can insult my integrity, but you cannot insult my intelligence!" Du Ziteng said, sticking out his neck.

Qi Chuanyu couldn't be bothered to respond, turning to the others and saying: "It's one thing that we can't catch up to Shen Bei's rank, but how did this guy even Cultivate True Qi? This really makes people angry to compare themselves to others."

Liao Zhongyang walked silently with his hands in his sleeves.

He had nothing to say.

Niu Yanben sighed, looking up: "We can't catch up, but I have a good idea that can make us surpass Shen Bei and show him a thing or two, Hey."

The other three widened their eyes, staring at Niu Yanben.

Niu Yanben didn't play coy, saying mysteriously: "We can make Shen Bei's Cultivate progress stop. As long as he stops, we will be progressing, Hey."

Qi Chuanyu's mouth twitched.

Isn't this just the tactic of "you don't have to outperform the top student; as long as the top student's grades drop, the second-place student naturally becomes first"?

Qi Chuanyu blinked: "Where do we start?"

"Women!" Niu Yanben waved his hand, like Zhuge Liang possessed, just short of holding a feather fan and directing the affairs of the world.

He continued: "Old Du, share all your 'seeds' with Shen Bei. As long as he gets addicted, then we'll be progressing, Hey!"

Du Ziteng jumped up with a howl, looking unwilling: "Get lost, those are my treasured, out-of-print 'seeds', I won't show them to anyone."

Qi Chuanyu helplessly rubbed his forehead: "Niu Liu, if you went to a walnut factory, they'd have to work overtime. When God scattered wisdom upon humanity, you held up an umbrella."

Niu Yanben: …

Liao Zhongyang smacked his lips: "I wanted you to show Shen Bei a thing or two, but you just made things colorful."

Qi Chuanyu waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, the National Exchange Competition is coming soon. We have to go watch and cheer for Shen Bei."

Liao Zhongyang said: "I remember, cheerleaders are the ones who do the cheering."

The few of them exchanged glances.

Silence fell…

…

At this time, Shen Bei was not in a hurry to return to his villa dorm to study the Martial Skill: Heart-Piercing Cannon Hammer.

Instead, he went to the classroom.

Soon after, Professor Gu Xinrou appeared at the classroom door.

Her dark hair accentuated her delicate, smooth, and even fairer skin, giving her an elegant and seductive aura that made it hard to look away.

"Good performance."

Professor Gu Xinrou's silver eyes curved like crescent moons, as she smiled faintly and said.

Shen Bei held up the Martial Skill in his hand: "It was all the motivation of the bet."

Professor Gu Xinrou shrugged, changing the subject: "Tell me, what do you need me for?"

Shen Bei didn't waste time, taking a tube of injectable solution from his bag.

He placed it in front of Professor Gu Xinrou.

"What is this?"

Professor Gu Xinrou's slender fingers gently picked it up to examine it.

It was a purplish-blue liquid, reflecting a captivating and eerie light under the sun.

"Super-Modified Adrenaline," Shen Bei blurted out.

Upon hearing this, Professor Gu Xinrou was startled, her gaze serious and stern, staring intently at the syringe, with great confusion: "Are you sure?"

Shen Bei nodded: "Back then, when Shepherd was almost stomped to death by Director Zheng, he was about to inject it into his skin when I kicked it away."

Professor Gu Xinrou's eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment: "To date, our country has not yet obtained a complete Super-Modified Adrenaline in its physical form."

"After all, once a battle occurs, the Headhunter Tribe's official personnel inject it very quickly, and there's simply no time to stop them."

"As far as I know, our country can only collect syringes afterwards and extract a very small amount of residual liquid from them."

"It's simply not enough for research and analysis."

After Professor Gu Xinrou finished speaking, she turned to look at Shen Bei: "You mean?"

Shen Bei said generously: "I'll give it to the country, but there's one condition."

"What condition?"

"The reverse-engineered formula must be given to me."

Professor Gu Xinrou stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "To be frank, even if the formula is reverse-engineered, do you think it's possible to give it to you? It's not that we're afraid you'll leak it, but rather that you wouldn't be able to control it."

Shen Bei frowned.

He understood Professor Gu Xinrou's concerns.

It was like developing an atomic bomb.

Even if it could be understood in one research institute, it would have to be divided among multiple research institutes, each doing its own research.

This is called risk sharing.

The leakage of any single technology would not lead to others building an atomic bomb.

Thinking about it this way… the Headhunter Tribe must do the same, right?

The formula must surely be divided into several parts.

Shen Bei rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and asked: "Then, Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"

Professor Gu Xinrou didn't hold back, saying: "Turn it in. Whatever conditions you want, state them directly, such as wanting the formula."

"Although it certainly won't be given to you, the country will give you the manufactured semi-finished product."

"After all, you possess the Undead King, which is extremely difficult to obtain in the dungeon."

Shen Bei understood.

The formula was out of the question, but he would definitely get the semi-finished product, and with his Undead King, he could completely refine it into Super-Modified Adrenaline himself.

Subsequently, Professor Gu Xinrou extended her hand again.

Shen Bei was startled, placed his hand on hers, and rubbed it.

It was soft and smooth.

Slap~~ Professor Gu Xinrou's face flushed, and she somewhat shyly and angrily pushed Shen Bei's hand away: "What are you doing!"

"Didn't you tell me to touch it?"

"Touch your big head! I meant I need the Undead King fruit! Without that, how would the country know if the semi-finished product will be effective?"

Shen Bei: …

After dealing with the Super-Modified Adrenaline matter, Shen Bei returned to the villa basement.

He opened the Martial Skill he had won, Martial Skill: Heart-Piercing Cannon Hammer.

In the next few days, Shen Bei planned to focus on Cultivating and preparing for the National Exchange Competition!
