Chapter 30 - 24: Stunning Test! Third Innate Baptism! (Part 3)

"Back then, I thought you’d fall far behind... I thought you’d face all sorts of setbacks and disappointments. Never in a million years did I expect you’d give me such a huge surprise!"

"Child, keep it up. I have high hopes for you!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Principal!"

Xu Ran chuckled softly, thinking to himself, I have an even bigger surprise.

Of course. This is something I cannot show!

"Wow, Big Brother Xu is awesome!"

On the side.

Tiger Girl clapped her little hands so hard they turned red.

Xu Ran ruffled her head, "You’re even more awesome than I am."

"Really? Then why can I never catch Big Brother Xu? Or beat Big Brother Xu?"

Xu Ran: "..."

So, you’ve always wanted to beat me, huh?

No wonder you keep ambushing me from behind.

"Heh heh heh!"

Seeing Tiger Girl’s mischievous laugh, Xu Ran flicked her forehead, "Stop giggling. Go over there and test your Qi Blood Value."

Tiger Girl covered her forehead, pouting, "Oh..."

"Jiang Liuli... Jiang Liuli, come test your Qi Blood Value."

"Coming!"

Like a cheetah, Tiger Girl shot out, startling her mom, Aunt Chen, and everyone around.

"Such a tiger."

Xu Ran couldn’t help but laugh.

If a girl is unattractive and rough, she’s a tomboy.

But Tiger Girl is pretty and adorable; she’s just a strong little lady.

What’s that saying? Appearance is justice, right?

Anyway, everyone finds Tiger Girl adorable, except for how she tends to make other kids cry. Otherwise, she’s perfect...

"Jiang Liuli, three years and two months old. Qi Blood Value... 6... 621.50...???"

Sister Xiao Liu stammered, eyes wide in disbelief.

She’s familiar with each child’s data.

When Jiang Liuli first arrived, she only had 91 points!

But in just 200 days, her score skyrocketed by 530 points? Her daily increase is 2.65...

That’s double Zhu Yuheng’s rate?!

This is terrifying!

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

The office resounded with a chorus of gasps.

In the face of Jiang Liuli, what is Adam even?!

The Principal remained silent for a long time, "There better not be something wrong with this new machine... I don’t want to be an old man with false hopes."

His voice trembled.

It’s a bit intimidating!

He’s genuinely afraid this is all a dream!!

When he wakes, the surprise will turn into a shock. This old man really couldn’t take it!

Assistant Xiao Liu: "Why do you always doubt the machines? Maybe... the machine really is broken?"

She quickly went upstairs, brought down the old machine, and took a drop of blood for testing.

"Jiang Liuli, three years and two months old. Qi Blood Value 621 points! No mistake, still 621 points. There’s no way all three machines are wrong, right?"

This time.

The Principal stopped doubting.

All the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

"Three years and two months old, far exceeding Adam’s 546 points! This is only after 200 days of training at the Demigod Kindergarten! What heights will she reach two years from now? It’s unimaginable!"

"Good, good, good!"

The Principal was so delighted he clasped his hands behind his back, clicking his tongue.

"Go ahead, Qinghong, take them to class!"

Li Qinghong nodded and led a group of children to class.

Of course.

In Xu Ran’s eyes, kindergarten classes were no different from breaks.

He silently gnawed on a bone, attending class while leveling up his progress.

During break after class.

Sometimes, under his mom’s guidance, he’d go hiking with Tiger Girl and Tiger Girl’s mom.

Other times, he’d go spar with other geniuses.

Mentor Li Qinghong: "Young tigers and bears, when they reach a certain age, increase their actual combat experience through play-fighting. The kids have reached the age where they can fight in the ring!"

Thus.

The free-fight class began.

No doubt about it.

This was Tiger Girl’s favorite segment.

And Xu Ran’s specialty.

Tiger Girl was born with monstrous strength. Xu Ran even wondered if her Qi Blood conversion rate was 500%. Otherwise, how could she knock Zhu Yuheng down with just a few punches?

She’s made over a dozen geniuses cry out loud.

Even Zhu Yuheng always pouted...

As for Xu Ran... with his ’Comprehension Root Bone’ persona intact, his skills were maxed out, a dodge, then a flip, he’d easily topple his opponents, with great elegance.

Zhu Yuheng was on the verge of tears.

Clearly, she was the first to arrive at the kindergarten; clearly, her Qi Blood was the highest, destined for double the joy.

But why, ever since these two little brats came, has she been suffering constant defeat, losing her double joy?

Why?

Zhu Yuheng’s delicate face scrunched up, like a lotus leaf blown around by the wind.

She crouched in a corner, hugging her little knees, her bright eyes misty.

Li Qinghong sighed softly.

"These two three-year-old brats are too ferocious. Should we find some psychological counseling for the other geniuses?"

"Xu Ran, you and Jiang Liuli have a match."

She tossed Jiang Liuli and Xu Ran onto the ring.

Xu Ran: "..."

Seeing Xu Ran stand in the opposing camp, Tiger Girl’s dark eyes lit up, "Heh heh heh heh, Little-- Brother-- Xu~ I’m gonna tackle you!"

As she spoke.

Tiger Girl transformed into a whirlwind, charging towards Xu Ran.

Xu Ran pretended to dodge a few times, then got punched out of the ring.

"I lost, I lost. Sister Liuli is really amazing."

"Heh heh heh heh heh!"

"I can eat two pieces of meat at once! I’m the strongest!"

Tiger Girl laughed with her hands on her hips, her chubby face full of pride.

Seeing this.

Xu Ran smiled lightly; it’s just kids being competitive. No need to mind.

"Grumble, grumble—"

Suddenly.

The sound of a growling stomach echoed loudly from the arena.

Tiger Girl quickly covered her tummy, "Mommy, I’m hungry. I want meat!"

Tiger Girl’s mom: "..."

Li Qinghong chuckled softly, "Go on, take her for a snack. She... well... needs more training when she’s older, her combat talent is too high right now."
