The army is stationed by the sea.

Biological evolution.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Yan Yan is really something, asking me to record the scene where Ye Zhenzhen makes her appearance. She said it was several minutes long. I recorded it, but it was all her back for a minute, and only a few seconds of her turning her head where you could see her face. But honestly, that little girl is truly beautiful."

People in the movie theater began to leave their seats.

Jiang Shu, however, remained seated. He instinctively tapped the armrest of his seat with his fingers, and the creatures from the deep sea one by one surfaced in his mind.

This was only the biological evolution that humans could observe.

What about the real deep sea?

The bottom of the desert.

The depths of the rainforest.

This world is truly vast.

Humans are too minuscule.

No matter how much technology develops, what is detected is only a very small part.

"This movie is quite scary. I don't know what kind of shark that was, so big it could directly sink a cruise ship. I think from now on, when we go out to play, we should just drive ourselves. Don't take planes, don't take cruise ships, they're all too unsafe!"

"The final scene was also a bit far-fetched, with a young man in his twenties becoming a general. And he didn't even bring any equipment, just diving underwater to fight monsters."

"Overall, it's okay, but it's not suitable for your mother, who is an older person. Next time, Xiao Shu, you should bring Yan Yan to see it."

"I feel like nothing is as reliable as the army showing up. I don't know what the director was thinking, and the actors in it, they barely made an appearance. I thought the scenes inside the cruise ship would be filmed for a long time. Mainly, your mother hasn't seen this before, hehe..."

"Xiao Shu, I'm warning you, while it's good you're practicing Martial Arts, you can't be as reckless as the people in this movie. Just stay home safely. This kind of monster, Xia Kingdom can take care of them with a single shot."

Perhaps feeling a bit cheerful, Xu Lizhi chattered for a while. Seeing that most of the people in the front rows had already left, she stopped talking and thought about packing up to leave the movie theater.

Just then, a pleasant voice from behind, like a nightingale in a deep forest, suddenly came through: "Auntie, what you said is very good, but what if these monsters evolve to the point where they are no longer afraid of missiles?"

Xu Lizhi turned her head and saw a girl wearing sunglasses sitting in the seat behind her, with a cute little bear-shaped hat on her head.

"How is that possible? Besides, there are nuclear bombs."

Xu Lizhi was dismissive because, in her opinion, this was just a movie.

As long as people liked it when it was made, that was enough.

How could reality be like this?

Being born under a great nation, she had never worried about safety.

"If thermal weapons were effective, Xia Kingdom wouldn't be promoting Martial Arts. Isn't the Free Nation also improving and changing genes? Just a few days ago, a movie called The Great Ocean Ring was released. The plot is similar to this one, except a giant mecha appears at the end."

The girl's voice continued, "Auntie, if you're interested, you can watch it at home after some time. They definitely won't allow it to be shown in movie theaters, as some of the scenes are quite insulting to our Xia Kingdom's Martial Arts. But it's still okay to watch pirated copies at home."

"Martial Arts and genes are a battle of ideologies, but both countries are actually researching them. Just like the martial artists in The Great Ocean Ring, they are referred to as New Art Martial Artists. As long as genes are improved and strength increases dramatically, after implanting a chip, all martial arts can be transmitted to the chip. For example, they can learn our Xia Kingdom's Horse Stance with just a glance."

"Our Xia Kingdom seeks stability, while the Free Nation seeks speed. Our Xia Kingdom seeks self-improvement, while the Free Nation seeks external means. But no matter which way you look at it, it's about improving and changing human genes. I think that with both major countries doing this, there must be changes in this world that we are unaware of."

"Historically, it's not as if movies haven't become reality."

"This..."

"Alright, Mom, let's go."

Seeing her mother suddenly at a loss for words, Jiang Shu smiled, stood up, and replied to the girl, "Thank you for the reminder."

Then, under the girl's nod of approval, he took Xu Lizhi and walked out of the movie theater.

Half an hour later.

An anxious figure rushed into the movie theater. Seeing only the girl alone in the corner, he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"My dear ancestor, what if you were caught?"

"So what if I was caught? It's nothing. I'm just watching my own movie, is there anything wrong with that? It would be strange if I didn't even support my own film."

The girl tilted her head, stretched, revealing her alluring curves. She stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'm wearing big sunglasses and hiding in the corner. Who would recognize me?"

"I'm incredibly smart!"

"Xiao Shu... Could all of that be true?"

Xu Lizhi looked worried. Her heart was entirely devoted to her business and family, and she had never considered such a situation. But the more she thought about it, the more she felt the girl's words made sense. Xia Kingdom's various policies seemed to be on the eve of great change.

She looked at Jiang Shu and couldn't help but ask.

Through her son's ever-increasing appetite, she had also guessed that her son had good talent in Martial Arts.

Getting into an undergraduate program should not be a problem.

But now, she just hoped Jiang Shu would be safe and could get into a vocational college, preferably in Jicheng, which was close to home.

"Mom, it's okay. If monster invasions really happen, Xia Kingdom will have to implement large-scale conscription."

On the bus, Jiang Shu smiled and comforted his mother's emotions.

Martial Arts is by no means a method of rapid success.

If the situation were truly dire, the Xia Kingdom would definitely adopt genetic modification like the Free Nation.

The fact that they could broadcast this kind of movie and slowly reform the college entrance examination itself indicated that everything was still under control.

Seeing that it was still early.

Jiang Shu accompanied Xu Lizhi to buy some groceries at the market. By the time they returned home, Jiang Yongyi and Jiang Yanyue had also just arrived.

"Fooled again by movie marketing accounts. They said he'd be on screen for several minutes, but it was just a little over one minute! Mom, was the movie good today?"

"I don't understand this stuff, ask your brother. Old Jiang, you take a break today. I'll cook." As she spoke, Xu Lizhi walked towards the kitchen with the groceries.

"Rare, exceptionally rare, surprisingly high quality."

Giving Jiang Yanyue a thumbs-up, Jiang Shu also went into the kitchen to wash rice and vegetables, helping his mother.

Before long, he brought out four dishes and one soup.

The aroma of the food mingled at the dining table. The family of four sat down, but unlike usual, Jiang Shu didn't serve the rice first. Instead, he sat in his chair and said solemnly, "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Your son has achieved Full Body Vital Energy Circulation and can enter an Academy without an examination."

"Shengjing Academy, Donghai Academy, Jiangnan Academy, Tianshu Academy."

"Dad, Mom, you choose one."

After speaking, Jiang Shu then served himself a heaping bowl of rice. When he returned, the table was silent.

Jiang Yongyi, Xu Lizhi, and Jiang Yanyue's eyes were wide open.

If Jiang Shu hadn't said it himself, they would never have believed it.

"Jiang... Jiang Shu, you're not joking, are you?"

"Mm, study hard in high school, and you can be my junior at Jiang Shu's Academy in the future."

Seeing Jiang Shu nod seriously, Jiang Yanyue felt like her whole body had gone numb. More than two months ago, she had guessed that her brother might have already mastered Qi and Blood Transportation, and perhaps could unleash his potential in the college entrance examination to get into a top university.

But an Academy...

She had never even considered it.

Even with her own academic genius, she couldn't guarantee that she would definitely be admitted to an Academy in the college entrance examination.

Jiang Shu had only been practicing Martial Arts for six months.

From the strength of a passing score for undergraduate programs directly to a top university?

It really was like practicing Martial Arts changed one's destiny.

Could it be that he was truly a genius?

"Xiao Shu... which of the four Academies do you think is most suitable for you?" Jiang Yongyi, having the most experience, took a deep breath and quickly composed himself.

Applying to university.

It was definitely the most important first major event in a child's life for an ordinary family.

The university one applied to, the major chosen, could even determine the child's future job and life.

"Each has its own advantages."

Jiang Shu explained his analysis of the four Academies while eating, giving his parents ample time to think.

"Xiao Shu, how about... you choose between Shengjing Academy and Jiangnan Academy yourself."

After a long pause, Jiang Yongyi gritted his teeth and said.

For such a life-changing event, he didn't dare to make a decision. His son had reached this point, and his perspective might be even broader than his own.

As a father, all he could do was support him.

Shengjing Academy was the best Academy in the entire Xia Kingdom, bar none. It was the pinnacle, and if Jiang Shu could enter it, everyone would give him a thumbs-up in the future.

As for Jiangnan Academy, it was due to his personal feelings. Yanyue's academic performance was good, and if she performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, she might be able to get into an Academy too.
