39: Chapter 39: A Sensational Master Arrives, Sparking Online Discussion

Jiang Zhe returned to the master bedroom.

Just after closing the door, he heard a voice from next door, surprised and novel: "Brother, I've mutated!"

He grinned.

"Giving you +1 Spirit and +1 Constitution is no joke."

"Now, ordinary men would be powerless before you. As long as you train a bit, you could even break various men's records!"

His mind stirred.

He evenly distributed the 4 enhancement points he had just obtained.

"Hiss~"

A powerful stream of heat flowed through his limbs and bones.

It was far more painful than previous enhancements, and his body felt even hotter!

Now, even his bones made cracking sounds, and his muscles felt as if they were being forcibly stretched, repaired, and reshaped by a counter-force...

Soon, they became tighter and tougher!

Unprecedented strength flooded his body, his five senses became sharp, and he could even hear the rustling of leaves a hundred meters away clearly.

Jiang Zhe threw a punch casually.

A slight tearing of the air, followed by an explosive sound, rushed forth.

"My total attributes are currently 3. For an ordinary person—no, I don't seem to be three times an ordinary person, but rather increasing exponentially!"

"I wonder if I'll be captured for dissection if I get stronger in the future!"

Not only that.

He felt his organs and lifespan had also been enhanced.

As long as the system could keep adding points, he felt that immortality was within reach.

"The road ahead is long!"

Jiang Zhe opened the window and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Time to find a place to test my limits!"

With that, he leaped straight down from the sixth floor, his body landing solidly on the hard concrete.

No! Slightest! Vibration!!!

...

11:30 PM.

At the sports school track about a kilometer away from his home.

Due to a malfunction in the streetlights near the track, the large floodlights on the field also went out.

Looking out, only some faint light sources could be seen from the teachers' offices in the teaching building in the distance.

On the stone bleachers of the track.

A dozen male and female athletes who had finished training were lying around crookedly, exhausted like dogs.

"Damn it, the coach really isn't human. Ever since that fake Zhao Yun broke the world record last time."

A muscular boy panted heavily and complained:

"The coach has been doubling our training every day now."

"Is the coach an idiot? Doesn't he know that there are differences in physique between people?"

"Stop complaining. That fake Zhao Yun arrived just in time. Recently, many athletes in our school have been able to break their previous records. We should thank him."

"That's right. At least we Asians are no longer the bottom-dwellers in the Olympics; we can break limits!"

Although Jiang Zhe's appearance last time didn't leave a legacy of national glory, it left a deep impression on the teachers and leaders.

Asians are not inferior to any other race!

Suddenly!

A sharp-eyed girl pointed at the far end of the track.

"Hey, someone snuck in!"

They looked in the direction of the sound, relying on the faint moonlight—

They saw a blurry shadow, looking very suspicious, nimbly vaulting over the three-to-four-meter-high iron fence of the track, then landing lightly, making almost no sound at all.

"Who is he? What is he doing at our school in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be a thief? Or a pervert, planning to secretly film us sweaty sports students?"

"You're overthinking it. Why would a thief come to a track?"

"Secretly filming? Filming in the dark?"

Just as everyone was whispering like mosquitoes, the blurry shadow confirmed no one was on the track and walked straight to the starting point of the red track.

He raised his wrist and tapped his electronic watch.

Then...

With a "Whoosh!" sound.

The shadow shot out like a ghost, instantly tearing through the night.

"Hiss~"

The sports students in the stands stood up in shock, their sleepiness wiped away instantly.

The shadow's speed...

It was simply too fast!

Even the real Zhao Yun, who broke the ten-second barrier in the 100-meter sprint a few days ago, could not have produced such starting speed and running form, even in his best state!

The shadow was almost one with the darkness.

The powerful sound of feet kicking the ground was like a metronome, getting faster and faster!

"Is... this a human?"

"Damn it, he's faster than the national team!"

"He's doing long-distance running, timing it. Quick, open the smart bands!"

With that, a dozen people tapped open their heart rate monitors and started timing.

This group of sports students stared blankly as the shadow accelerated crazily on the track, sprinting, changing speed, accelerating again, changing speed again!

About 10 minutes later, the shadow stopped abruptly at the starting point, breathing only slightly heavily.

Nowhere near the limit!!!

The person raised his wristband again to take a look, very satisfied with the data.

Leaving behind a sentence: "Not fun!"

Then...

Just like how he arrived, he turned and leaped over the fence, disappearing into the night.

Leaving behind only the messy, dumbfounded, and life-questioning sports students!

"He! He! Is he really a human?"

"Did we hallucinate from exhaustion?"

"The data, what is the data?"

A team member asked in a panic.

"I recorded it: 100 meters, 8.17 seconds; 200 meters, 15.34 seconds; 400 meters, 35.24 seconds; 800 meters, 1 minute 09 seconds; 1500 meters: 2 minutes 38 seconds; 5000 meters, 9 minutes 57 seconds."

The female sprinter who was timing said with horror:

"All, all broke the world records!"

"He, the more he ran, the faster he got!!!"

"And, I undercounted 1 second for the 100 meters."

As the words fell, the faces of the dozen sports students were no longer just questioning life.

But...

Shocking!

Their backs turned cold; they had likely just encountered a devil who loved running!!!

...

Just as Jiang Zhe finished testing his limits.

News about him in Da Yu Da Rou's live broadcast room had already spread rapidly across the internet!

[Shock! National Studies Expert teaches on-site, revealing that there is a 'universal database' in the universe, and human destiny can be 'read'!]

[Is it a divine calculator or a scripted performance? Netizen gives personal testimony: He even calculated my router and location!]

[Subverting your cognition, 'the exterior of the digital universe', 'cause and effect are already destined' — Your life and mine are a pre-determined drama!]

Various video clips and copy-posts were spreading super fast on the internet!

Especially that netizen Shunfeng Shunshui who came forward on Weibo—describing in detail, and posting every detail of the home layout.

Even swearing that if they were lying, it would be a shocking gamble with their parents as the center and the family tree as the radius!

It directly pushed Da Yu Da Rou's live broadcast room to the peak!

"Finished watching, my scalp is tingling; if the world is digital, or even virtual, then 'my destiny is determined by me, not heaven', isn't that also a pre-set part?"

"Ah, why did I click in? My worldview is gone."

"I feel like my efforts are all destined. What's the point of working hard anymore?"

"Begging, begging, begging to open a class to teach, I have money, a lot of money!"

"This isn't fortune-telling, it's directly extracting a person's underlying code and data and telling you in words!"

"This is definitely not fortune-telling, trust me, it's not!"

Countless netizens felt their cognition subverted—shocked, excited, indescribable!

It was like a superman suddenly appearing in an ordinary world.

It turns out that in the ordinary world, there really are extraordinary events!

...

Amidst this wave sweeping the entire network.

A netizen with the ID [Meditate Three Hours Every Day].

Inside a bedroom of a luxury villa, was frowning while watching several of the most widely circulated video clips.

He was a master-level figure in domestic fortune-telling, one of the direct disciples of Wang Chongyang, known as the [Modern Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng].

The more he watched, the gloomier his face became!

"Absurd, simply absurd, complete nonsense!"

His fists couldn't stop clenching.

"My teacher often said, the I Ching is a study of heaven-human resonance, mysterious and profound, focusing on self-cultivation; perceiving heaven and earth."

"This person actually misinterpreted the I Ching as a cold 'universal database query'?"

"He actually compared hexagrams to 'receiving data'?"

"This is simply an insult and blasphemy to national studies culture, he is just a clown!"

He gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger.

He completely believed that Jiang Zhe's every word and action was misleading the general public.

And even directly publicly tarnishing the national studies of our ancestors!

After a long while, with the intention of exposing a fraud, he took screenshots of the video, clips, and the link to the live broadcast room...

Forwarded it to his teacher Wang Chongyang via WeChat, and attached an angry message,

"Teacher, I sent you a video, a link, and screenshots."

"An arrogant person suddenly appeared on the internet, using a set of pseudo-scientific fallacies."

"Promoting that what we learn can actually be explained by science as a 'universal database'!"

"This influence is very bad, the remarks directly scientized the hard work of our ancestors."

"Disciple asks you to come forward to make a name, the profoundness of national studies cannot be polluted by his clownish behavior!"

Message sent.

Before long, [Other party is typing] appeared at the top of the chat box.

This typing lasted for tens of seconds, then returned to silence.

As if on the other end of the phone, the always rigorous and dignified Mr. Wang Chongyang also fell into a long silence after watching the video.
