Did I just... cross over to another world?Ryan's brain completely short-circuited as he remained immersed in this surreal yet undeniable reality.Danny looked at him with concern. "Yo, Ryan, what is wrong with you?"Ryan gave a bitter smile. "Forget it. Even if I told you, you would not believe me anyway."Are you kidding? If I said I crossed over to another world just from picking up takeout, even I would not believe it!But no matter how absurd the situation was, class still had to continue.As the bell rang, the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.Danny shivered nervously. "I am heading back to my seat. We will talk after class."With that, Danny darted back to his own desk like a frightened rabbit.The person who walked through the door was Vice Principal Sai from earlier. He carried several thick textbooks in his hands.Standing at the podium, Mr. Sai cleared his throat. "Students, as you all know, ability awakening is one of the most important events in your life.

Time flew by like a fleeting moment.The ability theory class finally ended. Ryan reluctantly closed I Am the King of the Cultivation Realm, though his eyes were filled with struggle and confusion."System, why? Does it really have to be this way?" Ryan wanted to struggle one more time, asking the system with a glimmer of hope.[Please consider carefully, host. The system respects your choice.]"Ryan! Dude, that was absolutely insane!"Danny rushed over like lightning and sat down in front of Ryan, looking at him with complete admiration.Ryan held up a hand. "Wait a second, Danny. Let me ask you something first."Danny scratched his head. "What question? If you are asking me about studying, I cannot help you there!"Ryan waved his hand dismissively. "Not about studying. I am saying, hypothetically, if you had a chance to become stronger..."Danny immediately interrupted. "What is there to think about? If I had that chance, I would grab it no matter what!"Ryan facepalmed. "Let me fin

Fraud! This is outright fraud!Ten thousand curses stampeded through Ryan's mind. He finally understood what internet marketing scams were all about."System, explain this to me. What is going on with my stat panel?"Ryan felt completely deceived.Where was the "Supreme"?Where was the "Above Heaven and Earth"?Looking at this entire panel, aside from his absurdly high stamina, all his other stats were single digits![Respected host, because of your physique, you do not normally exercise and you enjoy sleeping. Aside from your right hand being relatively strong, everything else is completely average.]"So you are telling me that after learning this Supreme Heaven and Earth Whatever technique, the only thing that improved was my stamina?""I remember that legendary techniques are supposed to cleanse the marrow and meridians, providing a comprehensive boost to all attributes. What does 'but very durable' even mean?" Ryan questioned skeptically.Are you kidding me? I am a cultivation nov

Ryan stared in shock. "Dad, what did you say, you are awakened?"What? His father was actually an Awakener too?!Mr. Hartwell looked surprised. "The Soul of Ink and Brush. Son, you did not know?"Ryan realized he had said something wrong. "No, Dad, it is just been so long that I almost forgot."Mr. Hartwell laughed heartily. "How could you possibly forget? When you were little, you could only fall asleep listening to me those manuscripts."Ryan thought silently: Who uses that stuff as a lullaby?!"Alright, you two. Eat while it is hot.""This Fresh Ice Fish Orb Soup will not taste as good once it cools down." Mrs. Hartwell looked at the two of them and reminded them with a gentle smile."Fresh Ice Fish Orb Soup?" Ryan stared at the fragrant "soup" in front of him, looking somewhat dazed.But it is strange to day despite being named like that there is no fish, no orbs and of course no ice."That is right. Your mother went specially to the seafood market to buy this. I heard an adventur

The current scene was quite spectacular.What was originally a painful field training exercise had now developed into Ryan Hartwell's solo moment to shine.The students were already tired, but they still had to run ten laps. They all gritted their teeth, with slightly flushed faces.Most of them had completed seven or eight laps, except for some who were in extremely poor physical condition and had only completed five or six laps.Whenever a student was about to give up, Ryan would always turn his head to encourage them.The student being encouraged would glare at him, with widened eyes as an unknown burst of strength and speed suddenly burst out from within!Ryan and the students who received encouragement at this point kept a very "mysterious" distance.Whenever a student was about to catch up to Ryan, he would suddenly sprint ahead and increase the distance again.If this kept up, even those students who could have managed to persevere before would all collapse to the ground, exhau
