Shen Qinghan's Superpower
Having completed the Natural Selection Achievement, Lin Zichen ended his individual challenge and stopped wasting time on the Martial Platform.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked towards the Administration Building with the female principal.
Shen Qinghan originally wanted to go back to the classroom, but Lin Zichen called her to go to the Administration Building together, so she lowered her head and followed him.
Upon arriving at her office in the Teaching Building, the female principal could no longer contain her joy and burst into laughter right in front of the two of them.
After laughing for a while, they congratulated Lin Zichen on winning first place in the entire school.
Afterwards, recalling the scene where Lin Zichen instantly defeated Chen Wuxing, she couldn't help but ask, "If you could even defeat Chen Wuxing in one hit, Zichen, you must be hiding your strength, right?"
"Fortunately, only a tiny fraction was hidden."
"I think it's more than that. Chen Wuxing recently took the special admissions exam for Kyoto University. I saw his results; he can lift a 690kg barbell with one hand. But even so, you easily defeated him with a single kick on the Martial Platform. This shows that your stats are at least 800kg."
"The principal is truly prescient. I just weighed myself at home last week, and the result was 795kg."
After saying that, Lin Zichen smiled and asked, "By the way, Principal, when will I receive the 8810 yuan from the prize pool?"
"Now you can." The female principal took out her phone, opened WeChat, and scanned the QR code. "Come on, let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll transfer the money to you directly."
After the transfer was completed.
The female principal continued her conversation with Lin Zichen.
We talked a lot, about representing the school in Martial Arts Tournament, what university we want to go to in the future, and some other trivial things.
During this time, Shen Qinghan sat quietly to the side and listened to the two chatting, not daring to use her phone at all.
We talked for about half an hour.
Lin Zichen felt that was enough, so he stopped chatting with the female principal about these irrelevant things.
Instead, she said that she and Shen Qinghan both loved swimming and suggested using the competition-specific swimming pool in the gymnasium.
It's a service that can be used anytime, but it's not open to the public.
When in use, the entrance to the swimming pool will be sealed off to prevent others from entering, leaving only him and Shen Qinghan in the pool.
The female principal agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Lin Zichen then went a step further and asked that he would cover the camera when he used it.
The reason is that he doesn't like being spied on while swimming in his swim trunks; it makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this request, the female principal raised an eyebrow.
These two little ones not only demanded that a lone man and woman have the entire swimming pool to themselves, but also wanted to block the cameras?
What are they trying to do?
Although she was very puzzled, the female principal did not pry into the matter. Instead, she opened a drawer, took out a key, handed it to Lin Zichen, and said with a smile:
"Zichen, since you want it, then the swimming pool in the gymnasium will be your private swimming spot from now on."
"I'll collect all the keys from the other teachers at the party, so they can't use the pool."
As she spoke, her smile faded, and she reminded him in an elder's tone, "But Zichen, you two are still young. When you're in the pool unsupervised, you must be careful and not cause any accidents."
Lin Zichen felt that what he said sounded strange, but he didn't think much of it and simply replied:
"Yes, we'll be careful."
After leaving the Administration Building, I returned to the classroom.
The classroom was empty; everyone was outside taking Martial Arts Training Course.
Lin Zichen decided not to go to class, so he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Han Yuanfeng, saying that he wanted to leave class early and go home.
Immediately afterwards, he packed his things and left the school with Shen Qinghan.
On her way home, Shen Qinghan said that she had already mastered the song, but her duet with Li Chuxin didn't go very well, and she still needed to practice. She asked Lin Zichen if he could practice with her for half an hour that evening.
Lin Zichen readily agreed.
Shen Qinghan values singing competitions, which is exactly what he wanted to see.
He hopes that Shen Qinghan can showcase herself on a big stage, thereby finding confidence and no longer being as insecure and introverted as she is now.
Shen Qinghan is outstanding, intelligent, and beautiful; she shouldn't have ended up like this.
He knew very well that Shen Qinghan's low self-esteem and introverted nature were inseparable from his dazzling brilliance.
It could even be said that it was all because he was too dazzling.
A firefly, in the pitch-black night sky, is the brightest star.
But if the moon is present, the fireflies' light will pale in comparison.
That evening, at Shen Qinghan's house.
After finishing their meal, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng graded exam papers in the living room.
During this time, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's singing could be heard from upstairs from time to time, along with their laughter when they sang off-key.
"Honey, do you think it's inappropriate for them, a man and a woman, to spend so much time alone in a room playing around?"
Shen Jianye suddenly asked this question.
Upon hearing this, Xu Meng was nearly driven mad with anger, and glared at him, retorting:
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with the two of them growing up together and playing around in the same room?"
"Who gives you, an old man, the right to object?"
"Hey Shen, I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business!"
"Otherwise, I'll never let you off the hook!"
Xu Meng was genuinely angry. She couldn't understand what her husband was thinking, actually saying that it wasn't appropriate for their daughter and Lin Zichen to be alone together. Wasn't he out of his mind? He deserved to be scolded!
Upstairs.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were practicing singing.
His senses were sharp, and when he heard the conversation between the couple downstairs, he was both amused and exasperated.
He knew exactly what Shen Jianye was thinking and what Xu Meng was thinking.
This is simply the difference between being a father and being a mother.
The former felt their daughter was about to be taken away, while the latter felt their daughter had found a good home.
"Alright, Hanhan, we've practiced for half an hour now, that's enough, go study."
Lin Zichen turned off the background music playing on his phone and said to Shen Qinghan, who was sitting next to him.
Shen Qinghan checked the time and saw that she had indeed practiced for half an hour, so she obediently sat down at her desk to study.
She wasn't as smart as Lin Zichen, so she could only maintain good grades by studying hard.
Lin Zichen didn't rush home. Instead, he sat on Shen Qinghan's bed with his back against the wall, idly scrolling through the news on his phone, planning to go back after reading for a while.
I came across news related to the remnants of the Rat God Cult.
None of the nine remaining members of the Rat God Cult have been caught to this day; they are all still at large.
According to the Municipal Public Security Headquarters, the claim is that followers of the Rat God Cult have the ability to communicate with ordinary rats and use them as their eyes and ears to evade capture.
Scrolling down to read other news articles, I found that they were still related to the remnants of the Rat God Cult.
There are two such news items.
First, two cases of young men being tortured and murdered occurred in the city last night. The Municipal Public Security Headquarters suspects that it was done by a remnant of the female Rat God Cult.
Secondly, this morning, a naked female corpse was found in an alley on a certain street. The Municipal Public Security Headquarters suspects that it was the work of a male Rat God Cult remnant.
Upon first seeing these two news reports, Lin Zichen was puzzled. They were already on the run, yet they still committed crimes – wasn't that courting death?
But upon further reflection, I quickly understood.
These followers of the Rat God Cult all underwent Gene Fusion through unconventional methods, which has significant drawbacks.
One of the biggest drawbacks is that it diminishes humanity and strengthens animalistic instincts.
Once animalistic instincts take hold, one loses reason, becomes unable to control oneself, and only knows how to act based on biological instincts.
Most biological instincts are driven by desire.
These remnants of the Rat God Cult, who are currently on the run, commit crimes not because they are tired of living and want to die, but simply because they cannot control themselves.
After watching the news for a while, Lin Zichen got up and left Shen Qinghan's bed, intending to go home.
Before leaving, he reminded Shen Qinghan, who was sitting at her desk:
"Hanhan, we'll leave school early tomorrow afternoon to practice our swimming skills at the pool. Remember to bring your swimsuits."
"Okay, I understand. Bye-bye, Xiao Chen."
Shen Qinghan waved to Lin Zichen, her smile sweet.
After Lin Zichen left, she got up, walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out two swimsuits from the bottom.
One set was a rather conservative one-piece swimsuit; when worn, both the upper and lower body were covered, with hardly any thighs showing.
One of the swimsuits is a bit revealing, the kind that looks like you're just wearing underwear.
Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then blushed and picked up the rather revealing swimsuit, stuffing it into her backpack.
Wearing this swimsuit allows for more contact between the body and the water, making it feel more comfortable.
Anyway, the swimming pool in the stadium is just for her and Lin Zichen, there won't be anyone else there, so it doesn't matter if she dresses a little revealing.
The next morning.
As soon as he finished breakfast, Lin Zichen went out to find Shen Qinghan to go to school together.
When he left, Shen Qinghan was still eating breakfast in the house, probably because she had overslept or something. She ate eggs, bread, and milk.
Seeing that he was already waiting outside the door, Shen Qinghan didn't have time to eat much. She grabbed the bread and milk on the table, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and hurriedly ran out of the house.
"Slow down, don't fall."
"It's alright, I'm a student in the Martial Arts Class, don't underestimate me, okay?"
"Students aren't martial artists; if they trip over a stone, they'll still fall."
"Ugh, you're so annoying! You're always arguing with me!"
Shen Qinghan pouted her rosy lips and playfully slapped Lin Zichen with her hand in dissatisfaction.
The hits were very light, just playful banter, looking like a couple flirting.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two quickly hurried towards the school.
On the way, Shen Qinghan had a small appetite and couldn't finish the bread or drink the milk. Feeling it would be a waste to throw it away, she pushed it all to Lin Zichen to finish.
Lin Zichen didn't mind her drool; she ate and drank whatever she wanted.
After walking for a few minutes...
The two then passed through the school gate and came to the school path.
Just like yesterday, the students on the street were all whispering about Lin Zichen whenever they saw him.
But the difference is that yesterday most of the criticism was directed at him for being arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations.
Today, however, people are in awe of him, saying that he actually killed Chen Wuxing with a single kick, his strength is terrifying, and he might be an Exotic Beast in human skin.
After entering the classroom...
Lin Zichen also embraced a different art style.
The way his classmates looked at him was as if he were a high and mighty leader, creating a sense of distance they had never felt before.
His classmates used to think he was the undisputed king of the first year of high school, but that he needed to train and develop for a while longer before he could compete with the geniuses in the Elite Class of the second and third years.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Zichen actually defeated the former school's top player with a single kick.
This level of skill is unmatched; he's a true genius!
He's even stronger than Wu Tiancheng, the so-called strongest player in the school's history!
After all, Wu Tiancheng couldn't have easily defeated the top student in his original school when he was a freshman in high school.
Lin Zichen didn't care about the changing opinions of those around him.
For him, high school was just a minor, insignificant episode in his life.
All interpersonal relationships during this period are fragile, and most come to an end upon graduation.
Time flies.
Before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Zichen had already told Han Yuanfeng that they would leave class early, and when he saw that it was already four o'clock, he and Shen Qinghan picked up their schoolbags and left the classroom.
Then, in less than five minutes, the two entered the gymnasium and arrived at the swimming pool they had been longing for.
The swimming pool was now filled with cool, clean water.
The security cameras on the wall were also covered with black tape.
The female principal brought people over in advance to do it.
The other party treated her like a nanny, wanting to provide the most attentive and meticulous service to the genius.
Before getting into the water, Lin Zichen asked Shen Qinghan to close all the entrance doors to the swimming pool and draw the curtains on all the windows.
He then took out a camera detector and an electronic signal jammer from his backpack.
He bought these two tools to use when he went out at night to test his physical data, and they came in handy now.
It took almost ten minutes.
After confirming that the indoor space was a completely private one, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went to a corner where neither of them could see them to change into their swimsuits.
Not long after, the two emerged from the corner.
Lin Zichen was wearing swimming trunks, while Shen Qinghan was wearing a swimsuit that looked almost like underwear.
When we first met each other.
The former appeared calm on the surface, but was actually experiencing a surge of emotions inside.
The latter, on the other hand, blushed deeply, her entire pretty face turning as red as a ripe peach, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Let's go in the water and practice walking underwater."
Lin Zichen deliberately looked away from Shen Qinghan and looked at the swimming pool in front of him.
Shen Qinghan hummed in agreement and followed him into the water.
Soon, the two were fully submerged in the water, practicing underwater walking in the deep water.
Not long after they started practicing, Shen Qinghan suddenly patted Lin Zichen's shoulder for some reason, and then quickly floated to the surface.
Lin Zichen frowned. Could it be that he had heard the strange sound from the sea earlier?
Thinking it over, he immediately surfaced.
The moment he broke through the water, he heard Shen Qinghan say in a somewhat panicked voice:
"Xiao Chen, look! The water in the pool can pass right through my body!"
Following the direction from which the sound came, he looked at Shen Qinghan in front of him.
At that moment, Shen Qinghan scooped up some water with her hands right in front of him. The water was barely scooped up when it passed through Shen Qinghan palms and fell back into the pool.
