Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit, Chapter 161

As long as the heir is capable enough, many things can be discussed.

If someone lacks the ability and is held hostage by other family members, they could be excluded from the line of succession or even stripped of their adopted status—they deserve it.

However, cases of direct stripping of adoption status are relatively rare. Theoretically, a family can only apply to the court to terminate the adoption relationship if the adopted son commits a crime or is seriously negligent.

"I will naturally be honest with Ayase."

Faced with his adoptive father's serious expression, Aragaki Shun did not hesitate and immediately took out the plan he had prepared in advance.

"As for the family, a family trust or foundation can be established to separate the family's core assets from my personal assets."

"I still have some savings of my own, so I don't need to use family assets for personal expenses."

For Aragaki Shun, making money is really not a difficult task. Even if he can't inherit the Aragaki Family, he won't be unable to support his girlfriend.

That's why he didn't hesitate to take the initiative to impose this constraint.

All I can say is that this country's system of adoption and inheritance has gone through all sorts of situations, and in many cases, it simply draws on historical experience.

This method of property segregation is also a common practice in many families, where adopted sons are required to sign family agreements before they inherit the family fortune, with the aim of preventing illegitimate children from fighting for the family property.

On the other hand, Sakurajima's family property inheritance system is a single inheritance system, rather than the equal division among sons in mainland China—the family business is only passed on to the heir chosen by the head of the family, while the others have to fend for themselves.

This system is one of the reasons why the custom of adopting a son by his son-in-law has become so prevalent.

After all, let alone illegitimate children, even other biological sons besides the heirs wouldn't get much here; at most, they'd become members of a branch. So there's no need to worry too much about adopted sons-in-law keeping mistresses.

"Yes, as long as you know your limits."

Aragaki Father nodded, not rejecting Aragaki Shun's suggestion.

As the head of the Aragaki Family, even if he understands his adopted son's personality and trusts his character, he still needs to take some precautions to prevent accidents.

After chatting for another two minutes, Aragaki Father checked the time, and after confirming that he had nothing else to say, he prepared to leave.

"According to the plan, I still need to go to the company this afternoon. If there's anything your family can do to help you while you're back, just tell me now, otherwise I won't have time to come home for dinner in the next two days."

Hearing his adoptive father's farewell-like reminder, Aragaki Shun hesitated slightly, wondering if he should start preparing for some things now.

After thinking about it, he simply handed the decision over to his intuition.

After confirming that the level 5 [Danger Sense] and [Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune] had not issued any warnings, the boy finally made up his mind and made a request to his adoptive father.

"Father, could you please come to the gym with me?"

"Um?"

The Aragaki Family Head was somewhat surprised, but quickly and readily agreed.

"Of course, no problem, but is there anything we can't say here directly?"

"Sometimes, simple verbal explanations are insufficient; you'll understand once you come with me."

A mysterious smile played on his lips; Aragaki Shun was already eager to see what his adoptive father's stern face would look like under the truth.

Soon, in less than fifteen minutes, Aragaki Shun saw the Matoba he wanted to see in the underground parking garage.

The reason he wasn't in the private gym next door was because the gym equipment he used to use was outdated. The weight of that equipment was no different from a toy for him now, and it couldn't demonstrate his current strength at all.

So, with his adoptive father looking blank, Aragaki Shun tossed a barbell weighing nearly 250 kilograms into the air, caught it easily, and went straight to the underground parking garage. There, he lifted one luxury car after another from the lightest to the heaviest one in his collection.

It was midday, the sun blazing high in the sky. Before leaving school, Aragaki Shun had already upgraded [Sun Kin] to level 5, thus gaining a new trait—

That is to store up the solar energy that cannot be consumed on ordinary days, and then unleash it all at once when needed, forcibly reaching the peak state that can only be entered at noon.

The true power of [Sun Kin], the extraordinary foundation that Aragaki Shun prepared for himself, was fully demonstrated at this moment.

A light vehicle weighs approximately 1.2 to 1.3 tons. The boy grabbed it with both hands, tossed it into the air, and caught it easily. The powerful force caused the ground beneath his feet to sink quite a bit.

Then I switched to a medium-sized vehicle between 1.4 and 1.6 tons, tried it out, and confirmed that there weren't many problems; it could still be used for tossing around.

It wasn't until they switched to a heavy vehicle weighing between 1.8 and 2.0 tons that Aragaki Shun felt the strain. He could lift it, but dared not continue tossing it in the air, because the [Danger Sense] had already issued a warning.

If my estimation is correct, he has now entered his peak state by strengthening the [Sun Kin] to level 5, briefly releasing the potential accumulated within him, and all four basic attributes should temporarily increase by 2.

In this state, he can demonstrate a strength of at least 2 tons, at least 4,000 jin, and even reaching 5,000 jin is not difficult.

He seems to be quite far from being able to throw an elephant like Buddha, but he could wrestle and win against other land animals, whether it be a hippopotamus, a rhinoceros, or a polar bear.

After wreaking havoc on the family's luxury cars, Aragaki Shun nodded in satisfaction.

Turning to look at her adoptive father's face, she saw him slap his forehead twice, as if trying to wake himself up.

Once he was sure he wasn't dreaming, this usually serious man completely lost his composure.

"So, the child I'm raising is actually a living god?"

"That's not right either. In mainland terms, it should be called a reincarnated immortal?"

230. Comprehensive testing; preferential treatment of family resources.

Watching his adopted son lift up car after car, even tossing them into the air for a bit, the Aragaki Family Head felt like he was dreaming.

So he slapped his forehead twice, and only after realizing that the Matoba before him had not been shattered did he open his pupils wide and stare intently at the heir he had raised from childhood.

At that moment, he thought of many things.

Sakurajima legends mention a living god who rules the mortal world, while on the mainland there are often stories of immortals reincarnating and undergoing tribulations. In Buddhism, Daoism, and Hinduism, gods and Buddhas often incarnate and descend to earth. In Greek mythology, the bloodlines of various heroes and kings often originate from demigods born from the union of a god and a human woman.

Since the rise of scientific concepts, these old myths and legends have often been dismissed as backward superstitions, fabricated by ancient religious figures for their own purposes.

The Aragaki Family Head has always been a rational and realistic person. He is not a complete atheist, but he never pays too much attention to ghosts and gods that cannot be proven or found.

Like many others, he would offer prayers at any temple he came across, not caring whether it would be effective or not; it was just a formality, and he never imagined that he would actually be involved with such supernatural things.

But now... he suspects he might become part of a future myth because he's an adopted son.

"So, the child I'm raising is actually a living god?"

"That's not right either. In mainland terms, it should be called a reincarnated immortal?"

As for why you don't speculate that Aragaki Shun is actually a genetically mutated being, or a cyborg or superhuman who escaped from some research institute... do you think the Aragaki Family has ever invested in research in the fields of bioscience and medicine?

As the head of a faction and a core member of the ruling party, the Aragaki Family Head is already among the very top-ranking people in the Sakurajima kingdom.

Even Prime Minister of Sakurajima, he was only slightly weaker in terms of power, but they were roughly on the same level, the only difference being their ranking.

Those at a higher level than them are only the rulers of a few major countries.

Therefore, he naturally had a general understanding of the extent to which biological and genetic technology in this world could achieve.

In any case, with the technology on Sakurajima's side, they definitely couldn't create a superhuman of this level.

As for whether those major powers can do it... the Aragaki Family Head also tends to believe they cannot.

The reason is simple: unlike military technology, biotechnology has a more special significance for the upper echelons of society, and many top research institutes have been involved in transnational investment fraud.

To put it bluntly, all families and powerful groups in the world with a certain status are paying close attention to this kind of research.

Their goal is also very clear; the word "extend life" explains everything.

Some say that the nobler a mortal is, the more afraid they are of death, because they are truly able to enjoy everything.

Under this premise, the concept of national borders becomes blurred, and many related studies are jointly invested in by major powers from different countries.

The Aragaki Family is naturally involved in this area as well, investing a huge amount of money in related research institutes every year. Therefore, he does not believe that the biotechnology of this world can reach the level of Aragaki Shun.

"Perhaps, like the mutants in the movies, it's a naturally occurring genetic mutation?"

Aragaki Shun smiled. At school, he usually couldn't fully let loose, but now, using his family's luxury car to unleash his excess violence was truly enjoyable.

"Do you think I don't know what gene mutations are?"

Aragaki Father was somewhat speechless. Although he considered himself still young, unlike some old fogies who needed to keep an eye on those "life-extending" studies every day, he still had some basic biological knowledge.

Reality is not like a movie. In society, human gene mutations are common, but most mutations have no obvious impact on individuals, while a few can lead to serious diseases or abnormal phenotypes.

Only a very few lucky individuals can benefit from genetic mutations and be endowed with adaptive advantages.

This is indeed part of evolution, but this advantage is often reflected in human adaptation to the environment. For example, people living on plateaus can adapt to high-altitude, low-oxygen environments, and European populations can still digest lactose even after adulthood.

Such genetic mutations related to environmental adaptation are certainly important.

The problem is that these cases also show that normal gene mutations, even if they don't develop into diseases, will only bring about some subtle changes in people. It's impossible for someone like Aragaki Shun to evolve directly into a superhuman who can lift a car and throw it.

Of course, if the adopted son's power truly stems from a genetic mutation, then he is by no means a mutant, but a genuine evolved being, the future of the Aragaki Family, and even more so, the future of humanity!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The Aragaki Family Head suppressed the complex ideas in his mind and finally exhaled a long breath to calm himself down.

"I remember you were unusually precocious when you were little. You looked like a five-year-old boy, but your thinking and logic were as clear as most adults. You handled all sorts of trivial matters very well, unlike a child your age."

It was precisely because of this discovery that the Aragaki Family Head at the time had the sudden inspiration to bring Aragaki Shun home and raise him.

Otherwise, he only had one daughter at the time, and normally he wouldn't easily adopt a son.

"At that time, I didn't think much about it. I just thought that poor children mature early, and that the environment in which you grew up made you seem more mature than usual."

"But looking back now, there were actually many signs in the past that showed how special you were, but your mother and I just didn't pay much attention to them."

From his early intelligence to his effortless learning of everything, these could perhaps be considered extraordinary talents. But today, Aragaki Shun lifted a 2-ton car with one hand... This is something no normal person could do!

According to his adopted son's estimate, the maximum strength he can currently unleash is approximately 5,000 jin (2,500 catties).

In ancient times, relying on this power would definitely have led to its worship as a deity.

Once on the battlefield, even Xiang Yu Lu Bu have to step aside.

It's worth noting that in the novel "The Shuo Tang Dynasty," Li Yuanba's iron hammer weighed only 800 jin (approximately 400 kg), and in "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong's golden cudgel weighed only 13,500 jin (approximately 6,750 kg).

Such exaggerated power would be considered monstrous in an ordinary person, but if it were said to be the reincarnation of a celestial being, it would be easier to accept.

This explains the extraordinary events that occurred when the adopted son was young.

"Phew~ Is there anything else you need to tell me? Just tell me everything at once. I'm mentally prepared."

With a burning gaze, the Aragaki Family Head scrutinized his adopted son, whom he thought he knew very well. He could understand the boy's past concealment; it was indeed a secret that needed to be strictly guarded.

But since Aragaki Shun is willing to show himself at this time, it proves that his confidence is far more than just his 5,000-pound strength.

The Aragaki Family Head was filled with anticipation, wondering how many more surprises his adopted son would bring him.

"Since enrolling in the Advanced Nurturing, I feel like I've entered a period of growth."

Aragaki Shun offered a casual explanation, then rested his chin on his hand as if deep in thought.

"The strength test was simple, but in other areas, the school hasn't had the resources, and there are many things I haven't figured out yet."

"Father, given my condition, it's impossible for me to go to the hospital for a checkup. I can only ask you to help me test some things at home."

Given the Aragaki Family's resources, they always had excellent medical and emergency facilities in their courtyard and even had a private doctor.

However, this kind of test must not be known to outsiders.

Aragaki Shun had no choice but to work with his adoptive father to set up a makeshift testing site.

They even called in Ayase's mother and some trustworthy members of her family halfway through, and it took a lot of effort for the group to complete a very simple test.

It includes tests on various aspects such as strength limits, skin defense, reaction speed, and wound healing efficiency.

The final result was extremely exaggerated in the eyes of his adoptive parents, but Aragaki Shun was somewhat disappointed because he was clearly in a state of being strong in offense but weak in defense.

Compared to the immense force capable of launching a car, the boy's skin, even at its peak, could only withstand ordinary knives and spears. But against firearms, even ordinary handgun bullets wouldn't stop them; they would embed themselves in his skin, at most not fatally.

In terms of reaction speed, combined with his intuition, he could dodge the pistols and rifles used by his adoptive parents in advance. Then, the number of test subjects was continuously increased until the number of people shooting exceeded ten, at which point he no longer had any room to dodge.

But this is on the premise that he only runs around in the open space without fighting back; otherwise, even if the number of soldiers were several times greater, he would be absolutely confident that he could wipe out this group of unprofessional soldiers in a short time.

Finally, regarding wound healing, after Aragaki Shun squeezed out the bullet embedded in his skin, these minor injuries all regenerated within ten minutes.

The only drawback is that during this recovery period, Aragaki Shun can feel his stored solar energy being consumed at an alarming rate.

"Its strength can't compare to an elephant's, its skin's defense can't match a rhinoceros's, and its reaction speed and regenerative abilities are nowhere near top-tier in nature."

Looking at the data summarized in the table, Aragaki Shun shook his head and sighed softly, "As expected, I'm not strong enough yet; I need to continue growing."

Upon hearing that Versailles-like voice, the Aragaki Family Head's face twisted for a moment before he rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

"That's enough. All these qualities are concentrated in one intelligent human being. Do you know how terrifying that is?"

"If you weren't someone I've known since childhood, I would definitely stay far away from you now and would never stay within your sight."

Aragaki Shun felt disappointed because he was strong in offense but weak in defense.

But they don't even consider that no normal person can withstand a regular knife without injury. Even if you're hit by a handgun bullet, it will only embed in your skin and heal within two minutes after it's squeezed out.

These qualities alone are already extraordinary, but now that they're all concentrated in one person, he could live quite comfortably even if he were a superhero at night.
