394: His strength is off the charts, is he a seventh or eighth grade?

After Shen Bei achieved Major Achievement in "Hidden" Word Skill,

He wanted to test its power.

He unleashed a punch towards the sky…

At this moment, the layers of dark clouds above were swept away.

All the air in the sky vibrated violently, and a wave-like shockwave surged outwards in all directions, followed by an earth-shattering roar loud enough to rupture eardrums.

When a sound reaches its extreme, one hears nothing at all.

In the absolute silence, the sky twisted and shook violently, white clouds shattered, lightning bolts disintegrated, electric light dispersed, and the Void Realm seemed to be torn apart by the wildly scattering thunder!

The force of the punch stirred the Qi currents, agitating the surrounding air like a tidal wave of Qi, roaring and surging in all directions, fiercely lifting layer after layer of the already fragmented clouds.

At this moment, Shen Bei unleashed an unprecedented, terrifying power; the rumbling thunder echoed into the sky, as if the sky itself was enraged!

It seemed to make the world lose its color.

Hiss~~~

After Shen Bei retracted his hand, he gazed at the perfectly straight punch-mark trajectory that appeared in the sky.

He was quite startled by himself.

Shen Bei had not anticipated such an explosive display of his strength!

Fortunately, no planes were passing overhead.

Even a slight brush with the aftershock would likely have resulted in a crashed plane and lost lives.

At the same time,

Jian Shan, who was standing by the window drinking tea and resting, witnessed Shen Bei's punch from the backyard causing the sky to shake, and his eyes widened in shock, his scalp tingling.

The teacup in his hand became unstable and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

“What?!”

Jian Shan’s eyes were filled with indescribable shock and horror.

“Hiss!!” Jian Shan shivered, “Is he trying to shatter the sky?”

“This kid is truly becoming more and more terrifying!”

Jian Tong, beside him, blinked her eyes, a hint of annoyance rising in her gaze, and a smile appeared on her beautiful Face: “He’s just a Martial fanatic.”

“What Martial fanatic!” Jian Shan firmly retorted, “This is called a progressive young man! Eighth-rank strength!”

“E-eighth-rank?” Jian Tong’s pupils were filled only with shock and disbelief: “N-no way? Two months ago he was still fifth-rank, and just now, his aura indicated seventh-rank. How could he cross three ranks? That’s impossible.”

“His performance of strength truly is eighth-rank. It can only be said that Shen Bei probably already possesses the ability to fight across ranks, and may even be invincible.”

Jian Tong’s eyes sparkled as she once again looked at Shen Bei in the backyard.

Two months, from fifth-rank to seventh-rank, was already monstrous enough.

Now he even possesses the ability to contend with eighth-rank and possibly be invincible!

It truly echoed Shen Bei’s slogan: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man for being poor!

This growth rate is too fast!

It’s simply unscientific, unreasonable, and utterly illogical!

However, Jian Tong felt delighted. Back when they were in Changtu First High School, Shen Bei was notoriously known as Trash.

All his classmates looked down on him.

Although she herself didn't think highly of him then, at least she could still hang out with him.

Now, many years have passed.

Shen Bei has surged ahead, leaving everyone behind. In the colorful world of Cultivation, Shen Bei has seen quite a bit. What beautiful women hasn't he seen? But he still remains true to his original intentions.

He still knows how to “come home.”

A sense of happiness welled up spontaneously.

“I’m hungry, I’m hungry.”

At this moment, Shen Bei returned to the villa and called out.

“Oh, oh, coming, coming.”

Jian Tong hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Shen Bei was truly starving.

From entering the catacombs to coming out, he had been eating compressed biscuits and nutrient paste for two months.

To put it unpleasantly, even if that stuff was delivered through the back door, the nutrients would still be absorbed, so one can imagine the taste.

Absolutely no taste.

Coupled with three days of continuous Cultivation, now eating his hometown dishes, Shen Bei was devouring them ravenously.

“Slow down, we don’t have a dog, no one’s going to snatch your food,” Jian Tong teased.

Shen Bei almost sprayed a mouthful of rice out of his nostrils.

Jian Shan reprimanded, “How can a young girl talk like that!”

Jian Tong rolled her eyes.

“Bei, want a drink?” Jian Shan asked with a chuckle.

Shen Bei wiped his mouth, a bit apologetically, “There’s a junior high school reunion tonight. Let’s drink tomorrow.”

When his father-in-law invites him for a drink, he has to give him Face, more or less.

This has nothing to do with martial prowess; it’s merely an emotional bond.

Martial Artists, though brutal and capable of killing without batting an eye,

Still have family and kinship, after all.

Even if Bai Wei doesn’t wash her feet when she goes home for the New Year, she’ll still be scolded by her mother.

At this moment, Jian Shan said, “Oh, alright then, tomorrow we’ll drink something good.”

“Got good stuff?”

“When Jian Tong was born, I buried Maotai in the backyard. It’s been 20 years now.”

“That’s great! Don’t be stingy.”

“Haha, how much can you even drink?”

…

Having eaten and drunk his fill.

Shen Bei and Jian Tong cleaned up the dishes together.

Participating in household chores and enjoying leisure time.

“You went to Third Middle School for junior high, right?”

Jian Tong asked while washing dishes.

Shen Bei nodded: “Yes, it was Third Middle School, near Beishan, with a large E-shaped teaching building.”

Jian Tong and Shen Bei did not attend the same junior high school; it wasn't until high school that they converged at First High School.

Jian Tong’s junior high school, Fourth Middle School, was stronger than Third Middle School.

Qi Chuanyu also came from Fourth Middle School.

It must be said that Changtu County is not large, but it has several junior high schools within the county…

“Who all will be there?”

“You wouldn’t know them even if I told you.”

Jian Tong put her hands on her hips, narrowed her eyes, and was very displeased with Shen Bei’s perfunctory answer.

Shen Bei didn’t even lift his head, continuing to wash dishes, and said, “I’ll just take you.”

Jian Tong grinned upon hearing that: “Now that’s more like it.”

Tsk.

Little girl, what are you thinking? How could I not know?

Shen Bei shook the suds off his hands: “You just rinse the dishes, I’m going to check my attributes.”

Jian Tong’s eyes were full of question marks: “Don’t tell me you still don’t know your own attributes…”

“From coming out of the catacombs until now, I haven’t had time to check.”

“Our dad said that punch you threw had eighth-rank strength.”

Shen Bei hummed: “One eye, one world; everyone has their own opinion. I still trust the testing equipment.”

Jian Tong shrugged.

…

Leaving the kitchen.

Shen Bei arrived at the back hall.

He uncovered the attribute testing equipment.

Originally, this equipment was in the front hall.

Ever since Jian Tong got into a Martial Arts university, it wasn’t used much, so it was moved to the back hall.

The attribute testing equipment was well preserved, without a speck of dust.

It seemed Jian Shan often wiped and cleaned it.

After powering it on.

The equipment began self-checking.

After a short wait.

Self-check completed, electrical components running normally, networking function reliable.

It must be said, this equipment’s design is truly amazing.

Without an internet connection, it’s completely unusable.

Without another word, Shen Bei went up and started the tests with a clatter.

The testing process still followed the old routine: punching, resisting blows, and so on…

Simple and practical.

Even simpler than those IQ tests.

About half an hour later.

The four-dimensional attribute detection test was completed.

Shen Bei pulled a test report out of the equipment’s paper exit slot.

“Let me see what’s going on!”

Shen Bei’s gaze fixed on the test report, reading it word for word…
