Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 133: Should They Change It?

Xiang Ning instantly turned into the focus of attention. To be fair, he had already been the focus, but the scientists gazes changed. They had initially judged him since he was Dong Qianyis disciple and could potentially be something, but that turned into hatred and disbelief. They felt like a crack had formed in the science they had worshiped all their lives. Science was rigorous, science was solemn. Everything had a proper cause and effect and everything happened for a reason. But today, it had all come crashing down. The confusion was immense; their rigorous research had turned into a joke.

No, they mustnt think that way. Science still followed strict rules. This kid just got lucky, he was just guessing. Right, that must be it. All he said was that it looked off.

Yes, that was right.

To Old Jin and Alia, they discovered that Xiang Ning had a hidden layer to him. At least there was more to him than the surface naivete he showed. The formulas required to make these calculations werent something a common high school student would know of. But on the other hand, they didnt think much of it as Dong Qianyi had probably taught him something. He was a high school student, after all, and his reasoning didnt sound like he was reliable.

After some time, when everyone returned to their seats, Xiang Ning toured for a while before leaving with Alia, since there was nothing else he could do. However, not long after he left, the alarm sounded again and the group was thrown into chaos once more. Ten minutes later, someone in the group surrounding Old Jin said, Old Jin, these numbers dont feel smooth at all, why dont we modify these three digits?

The crowd was speechless.

...

Xiang Ning was still in a daze when he walked out of the tunnel in the mountain. He looked down at the ground he stood on; who would have thought a war-grade weapon was right beneath his feet? Shaking his head, he strolled back toward his house.

As he walked alone under the bright moonlight, he recalled the events of the past months. One thing had changed his life forever. He had never thought of himself as unfortunate. Everything he had, hed earned with his own two hands. Although he had no parents, he had a younger sister. Despite being tight on money, every day was fulfilling. He felt satisfied seeing his sister smile at the dinner table. He savored his memories as he slowly walked home. Turning off the lights, he clambered to bed and sat with his legs crossed. His phone suddenly vibrated.

Fishing out his phone, he paused slightly when he saw the caller.

He still picked up anyway.

Xiang Ning, are you alright?

He was confused. Why wouldnt he be alright?

Im fine, whats the matter? he asked.

There was a pause. I found the culprit behind the chaos on the internet. Its Zhang Hongyu from Hanwu Academy. Im so sorry, this is all happening because of me. Fang Rou blamed herself, because she was the reason Xiang Ning had been put in his predicament. If it werent for her, Xiang Ning wouldnt have provoked Zhang Hongyu. She once thought about mending the relationship and suppressing the incident, but now it was too late.

After listening to her apology, he fell silent for a moment, then said, Dont worry, Im alright. You dont have to apologize to me. If we could do it all over again, I would still choose to do the same thing. Im not really affected at all. Everything will be better after tomorrow.

Fang Rou gave a very solemn grunt, privately swearing that if no one wanted Xiang Ning in the future, she would she would kidnap him and care for him forever. Her cheeks burned at the thought of it, turning her into the very image of a blushing beauty. Mm, Im hanging up if theres nothing else you want to talk about. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

After he hung up, the corners of his lips curved up. Zhang Hongyu of Hanwu Academy? He shut his eyes, starting to pull up his user interface.

Tomorrow Hehe.

30,000 Fury Points Spent. Congratulations! Telekinesis upgraded to Peak Mastery.

Xiang Ning felt his mind go blank, then a surge of electricity that almost made him scream out loud passed through his body, though he stopped himself from shouting. Two minutes later, he bared his teeth, his features twisted into a grimace. After the Telekinesis upgrade, instead of controlling six units, he could now control thirty.

What did that entail? As long as Xiang Ning had enough mental power, he could unleash mass destruction, though it wouldnt be appropriate for such power to be displayed before other people.

50,000 Fury Points Spent. Congratulations! Shadowmist Ghost Step upgraded to Awakened.

Now his Shadowmist Ghost Step was truly a tier five skill as well. He dumped his remaining Fury Points into the raffle and received only Healing Pills, which was only to be expected.

...

The following day, Xiang Xiaoyu woke him up. Still in a hazy fog, he saw her turn away, blushing. Brother, Ive prepared breakfast. Wake up, lets eat!

He grunted, then looked down and was instantly awake. There was a tent in his pants, and his very own sister had seen it! He panicked. In a flurry, he put some clothes on and rushed into the bathroom for a shower, also puzzled at why his sister had woken so early this morning. Had he overslept? He looked outside; the sun hadnt completely risen yet.

Little sister, whyre you up so early today? He exited the bathroom without a shred of awkwardness. He had been asleep, he didnt know anything.

Nothing, I just slept early last night so I woke a little earlier today, she sweetly said with a grin.

Silly girl. Xiang Ning sat opposite her with a smile and enjoyed his breakfast, his eyes filled with love. How could he not know? She must have been worried sick because of his injury the day before and wanted him to rest.

About ten minutes later, they left home together and walked toward the sunrise, toward school.

Hanwu Academy, are you ready?
