Su Ziyang instinctively dodged, and the hard card hit the window behind Su Ziyang with a "thud".

"You son of a bitch!" The burly man slapped him again.

"I'm so sorry, doctor!"

The woman wasn't angry that the strong man hit the child; instead, she apologized to Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang glanced at the card; it was just a child's toy and posed no threat, so he wasn't angry. He quickly shook his head to indicate he was alright. "I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Young man, why did you throw me?!"

Su Ziyang wasn't angry; instead, he looked at the boy with a smile.

The boy stared at Su Ziyang, muttering, "Beep beep beep, threat detected! Activating maximum available skill, Torrential Rain Pear Blossoms!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy tossed a handful of torn pieces of paper from his pocket with a whoosh. The paper pieces were mixed with sand and some plastic confetti.

The room quickly filled with smoke, and the boy said again, "Beep beep beep, skill activated successfully! Prepare to escape!"

The boy jumped off the chair and ran towards the door.

Unexpectedly, the burly man who had been standing behind the boy was now blocking the doorway One-Handed Grab the boy who was trying to run away.

"Doctor, are you alright?"

The woman, disregarding her own feelings, took out a tissue from her bag, feeling extremely embarrassed, and wiped Su Ziyang's face.

Su Ziyang was the first victim, now covered in sand and colorful scraps of paper.

Su Ziyang wiped his face and spat out the sand in his mouth. "Pah!"

Su Ziyang could have dodged, but Su Ziyang was Dayi and didn't. Who would have thought that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy could have so many things hidden in his pockets!

"Doctor, are you alright?"

The burly man grabbed his son by the collar, his face filled with apology.

"It's alright, it's alright! This child is quite aggressive these days!"

Su Ziyang was a doctor, but even so, he still had a smile on his face.

"Young man, why did you throw me?"

Su Ziyang stared at the boy and asked again, but this time he kept a certain distance from the boy.

"I didn't throw you; my system detected that you posed a threat to me, so I used the hidden weapon I made to deal with you!"

The boy wasn't particularly young; he was even taller than his mother. Seeing that the doctor, whom he had attacked twice, still smiled and asked him questions, his tense nerves relaxed a bit, and he began to communicate with Su Ziyang!

"Apologize to Doctor Su!" The burly man poked the boy in the back, making the boy stagger.

"No need, no need!"

Seeing that the boy had relaxed a bit, Su Ziyang quickly waved to his father and gave him a look, signaling him not to provoke the boy any further.

"Sit down, let me hear what kind of system this is! How can it let you throw me away?"

Su Ziyang asked the boy to sit down and continued to guide him in a calm tone.

"Huh? You believe I have a system!?" The boy suddenly became friendly towards Su Ziyang again, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Of course I believe you, but you have to tell me what the system is!"

Su Ziyang nodded and smiled.

The couple behind the boy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their son able to communicate with the doctor.

"Ugh! You don't even understand the system! You're so clueless!"

The boy told Su Ziyang with great pride.

"Please teach me, what is a system?"

Su Ziyang stared at the little boy with sincere eyes.

"Only those who are chosen can have the system! You ordinary people wouldn't understand!"

The boy, feigning maturity, crossed his arms and looked at Su Ziyang with even more smugness. He seemed to sense that Su Ziyang genuinely listened to his system, then lowered his arms and whispered to Su Ziyang, "Actually, I can tell you secretly, but you can't tell anyone else. This system is a loophole in the Heavenly Dao, and those of us who possess it can change the world! I possess abilities unknown to others!"

Su Ziyang nodded thoughtfully. "I understand, is it superpowers, special abilities or something?"

"Whispering sound!"

To everyone's surprise, the little boy scoffed when Su Ziyang mentioned superpowers, then said in a very disdainful tone, "Superpowers are nothing! The system is the real king, the system is omnipotent! I'm much more powerful than superpowered people!"

"Oh?" Su Ziyang exclaimed in surprise. "Tell me, what's so amazing about your system?"

Hearing his son muttering irrelevant things, the burly man couldn't stand it and raised his hand to hit the little boy again, but Su Ziyang secretly waved his hand to stop him.

"You want to know?"

The boy asked Su Ziyang mysteriously.

"Yes, yes!" Su Ziyang nodded sincerely.

"The main function of the system I've unlocked now is to detect enemies!"

The boy spoke very softly, as if afraid that others would hear him.

"How do I test it?" Su Ziyang scratched his head.

"For example, just by looking at you, I can tell your combat strength level and your abilities!"

The boy even gave Su Ziyang examples, afraid that Su Ziyang wouldn't understand.

"What level is my combat power?!"

Su Ziyang found it increasingly amusing and continued to ask questions.

"I can't detect your combat power right now, and neither can my dad. You two are probably around the same level. But don't worry, once the system upgrades, I'll probably be able to detect your combat power! I'll tell you the results then! You have to buy me some spicy snacks, okay?"

The boy's words made his father, who was behind him, even more unable to suppress his inner rage. If his wife hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have slapped him across the face again.

"Eating spicy snacks is no problem. What other functions does your system have? Is this the only function?"

Su Ziyang continued to guide the discussion.

"Of course not. The system usually has a lottery function too. Of course, I haven't fully explored that function yet. There's also a function called Weapon Blueprint Skill. I've only unlocked these two functions so far. Just now, I used the first one called Lightning Dart and the second one called Torrential Rain Pear Blossoms. The system taught me how to do both!"

As he spoke, the boy took out a few more cards from his pocket and showed them to Su Ziyang.

Looking at the hard card with metal buttons taped around it, Su Ziyang Su Ziyang understood why the card had made a thud when it hit the window.

"That's really impressive!" Su Ziyang nodded and then gave a thumbs up.

"Keep it a secret. You're the first person to know my system has two functions! It must be kept a secret!"

As the boy was about to leave, his father tried to stop him, but at Su Ziyang's signal, he led his son out.

The boy's mother was left to talk with Su Ziyang!
