IQ Below Passing

"Can't you make it grow faster? It's really holding up my training."

Staring at the newly regenerated little foot, Tian Hao asked gloomily.

His right leg had indeed regenerated, but the speed was a little slow.

It was currently only the size of a baby's leg and foot, pink and delicately carved, completely clashing with the rest of his appearance.

More importantly, it was delaying his training!

"How could severed limbs regenerate that quickly?"

Ah Yin, who was practicing her spear techniques, shot him a glare. She had deliberately not regenerated his right leg immediately, lest the brat start hopping around and annoying people again.

Besides, regenerating a severed limb was truly difficult. Although she could use Life Force to regenerate limbs for others, she could not create flesh and blood from nothing. The person needed to replenish it bit by bit themselves.

If she truly regenerated his lower leg quickly, his whole body would turn into a dried husk. With that brat's foundation, he simply could not endure it.

Tang Hao was also happy to have some peace and quiet. In any case, he no longer had the mood to settle the score with that brat in a fight.

He had figured it out by now. That brat definitely had something wrong with his brain. Even if Tang Hao learned every trick used here, the other party could come up with new ways to fight him. Winning under rules set by that guy was far too difficult.

"Who is the most beautiful woman you've ever seen in your life?"

After practicing for a while, Ah Yin walked over, sipping tea as she could not help asking the question.

Even now, she clearly remembered the evaluation the brat had given her on their first day at Old Village Chief's house.

What did he mean by "fairly good-looking"? Had he ever seen a woman more beautiful than her?

"You count as one. The other was someone I saw in Spirit City."

Tian Hao was slightly taken aback. He did not understand why Ah Yin was asking, but he answered honestly nonetheless.

Although he had seen countless beautiful anime girls in his previous life, after coming to this world, he had to admit that sometimes Heaven's craftsmanship was far more impressive than human hands.

Bibi Dong might have something wrong with her brain, but her looks were truly incredible. She was even more perfect than her depiction in the anime from his previous life, making even a face-blind gaming shut-in like him unable to resist taking a few extra looks.

"Was she also merely fairly good-looking in your eyes?"

Ah Yin felt a little better, though she was curious how the youth viewed the woman he had mentioned.

"Mm. Her looks are fairly good."

Tian Hao nodded. He acknowledged Bibi Dong's beauty.

"Then what kind of person counts as a beauty in your eyes?"

Ah Yin raised her slender willow-leaf brows slightly, unable to understand the youth's standards of beauty.

"Of course, goddesses. For example, the Angel God of Spirit Hall. She's a true deity. You women are still merely mortals. You still need to eat, drink, piss, and shit. If you don't wash your feet for a month, you'll still stink people to death. If you don't wash your hair for a month, it'll still get tangled. If you dig around in your ears, you'll still... What are you doing?"

Tian Hao was explaining his standards of beauty to the older woman when, before he could finish, he noticed a sharp spear blade resting against his neck.

Using the spear blade to shave the barely visible fine hairs from the youth's neck, Ah Yin smiled sweetly as she reminded him, "Young man, I advise you to watch how you speak."

That brat was still so good at ruining the mood. Was it appropriate to discuss such things with a great beauty like her?

"Fine. Compared to outward appearance, I care more about inner beauty. Inner beauty includes IQ, emotional intelligence, character, and so on."

Tian Hao could only compromise and change the subject. He truly did value inner beauty more. Outer appearances were not important at all.

For example, those wealthy older women might not have much in the looks department, but their inner value was very high. They could help someone struggle for many fewer years. Those were the peerless beauties in the eyes of men.

"You have good taste. What do you think of me?"

A smile appeared on Ah Yin's face, and she agreed with that deeply.

Looks were inborn, but IQ, emotional intelligence, wisdom, and character could be developed through later effort. Those were the true standards by which a person should be judged.

"As for you, your character is fine, but your IQ and emotional intelligence are below passing."

Turning his head to examine the older woman beside him, Tian Hao felt that her IQ and emotional intelligence were both lacking. Otherwise, she would not have fallen in love with a human and gotten herself killed because of it.

In the original story, although Ah Yin had suffered a great loss of Vital Energy after giving birth, with the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities, no one on Douluo Continent aside from gods could kill her.

Yet for Tang Hao and Tang San, she ultimately chose to sacrifice herself.

With that kind of performance, her IQ and emotional intelligence were definitely below passing.

Of course, Bibi Dong was the same.

Otherwise, she would not have been forced in the end to expose her own scandal in order to win sympathy and secure a sliver of survival for her daughter and disciple.

Having ended up in that state, her IQ and emotional intelligence were definitely below passing as well.

"..."

The smile on Ah Yin's face froze. After shooting him an annoyed glare, she stood and left.

"Hey, where are you going? You haven't finished the tea in your cup."

"To practice my spear!"

Ah Yin replied irritably. She truly could not keep talking with him.

Yes, compared to that brat's talent, her wisdom truly amounted to little. Calling it below passing was not wrong, but did he know how punchable it was to say it like that?

Not far away, Tang Hao was practicing rolling logs in the water. Seeing his fiancée leave Tian Hao's side in a huff, he finally relaxed and withdrew his gaze.

Although he trusted Ah Yin greatly, seeing his fiancée sitting with another man, chatting and laughing, always felt strange. Instinctively, he had kept an eye on them.

Fortunately, that brat was missing a screw and could always anger Ah Yin into a frenzy, so there was no need to worry about anything happening between them.

Of course, he did not truly believe anything would happen between them either. He had great confidence in the relationship between himself and Ah Yin, but as a man, he still had to remain a little vigilant in this regard.

Over the next few days, while his lower leg was recovering, Tian Hao naturally could not continue his usual high-intensity training. However, he did not remain idle.

Sitting on a stone stool, he swung his fists again and again. Often, he would spend a full minute building up and adjusting before throwing a single punch, then rest for over ten minutes to recover his aching brain after maintaining his state of enlightenment.

After investing himself like this regardless of the cost to his luck, once his lower leg had fully grown back, Tian Hao steadied himself, closed his eyes, and gathered his strength for over a minute before suddenly throwing a punch.

Bang!

The air before him exploded from that punch. The thunderous blast rang across the entire training ground, and everyone heard it.

The villagers did not know what had happened. Seeing that the commotion came from Tian Hao's elevated spot, they did not pay it much mind and continued training.

They had heard from the villagers who went hunting that quite a bit of wolf droppings had appeared nearby. A wolf pack might be wandering in the area. If they truly encountered one, the Martial Skills they were practicing now could save their lives.

Moreover, the guest staying in the village had been using a soul skill to cover the entire training ground during this time. It sped up their physical recovery, and even injuries healed quickly, allowing them to train more boldly and confidently.

They had to cherish such a good opportunity!

"That wasn't Soul Power."

Ah Yin walked over curiously. She had been using the Blue Silver Domain to cover the entire training ground, with Tian Hao receiving special focus. Yet she had not sensed any Soul Power fluctuations in that punch just now. At the very least, no Soul Power had been released outward.

But if no Soul Power had been unleashed, how had it caused the air to explode?

Tang Hao, who had also stopped training and walked over, was equally curious. What had that punch been?

Tian Someone: No one objects to saying the Blue Silver Emperor's IQ is below passing, right? Since no one objects, hurry up and cast recommendation votes to give the older woman a little more IQ, so she won't be deceived by bad people other than me.
