Meng Chao had two dreams alternating between day and night.
In the first dream, he seemed to have turned into Principal Sun when he was young. He was an ignorant and giggling soldier, but after going through all sorts of training in the military camp, the ruins of the city, and Monster Mountain Range, he gradually grew into a heavy artillery.
His rich fighting experience and the spirit energy magnetic field that created the Demon Subduing Pole made all the details as clear as glass. They fused together with his memories of his previous life, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the word "superhuman".
The second dream was much more interesting and strange.
Meng Chao dreamed that he turned into a Bloody Moon Wolf King.
He dreamed that he grew messy fur, sharp fangs, and long claws. He led a wolf pack and charged on the plains. He ran madly through the fog, causing his blood to surge, and his blood to burn with fear.
He observed, lurked, surrounded, charged, bit, and gnawed at them.
He fought for the throne, licked his wounds, and mercilessly devoured the weak. Then, he submitted to stronger superbeasts.
This was the law of the Other World, which was carved into the depths of his genes.
In his daze, he forgot about his identity as a human and learned to hunt, think, and survive using the methods of monsters.
However, in an even more blurry and twisted dream, he saw a huge cave or crack in the ground. There were a lot of shiny silver things that were definitely not natural.
There were also mouthfuls of viscous, bubbling blood pools.
There were also deformed plants that were nearly one hundred meters tall and looked like trees that reached the sky.
Between the branches were huge, crimson cocoons that were as red as blood.
The blood pools and blood cocoons gave birth to all sorts of strange Nightmarish Creatures.
This scene instantly snapped him out of his daze.
He sucked in a deep breath, and his nostrils were filled with sweetness.
He twisted his arms and legs a little, and he noticed that he was lying in a very advanced medical cabin.
His body was filled with a sticky liquid that was similar to hot chocolate. His pain turned into a faint numbness, as if there were thousands of small fishes swimming around and pecking at his wounds. It was quite comfortable.
There were no lights on the ceiling, but a faint blue light surrounded him.
It made him feel at ease, quiet, and safe.
'I'm saved.'
Meng Chao sighed in relief and blinked hard. Kindling was still around, and there was a faint layer of golden light around it.
[Current Contribution Points: 31453]
There was still a whole row of new skills waiting to be awakened.
Just by looking at the prefixes, there were all kinds of "Intermediate", "Advanced", and "Profound".
The Proficiency of the Awakened Skills had also increased greatly. Most of them had reached the Grandmaster rank, and several of them had reached the Perfect rank.
'The feeling of contributing is great. I have so many contribution points. How am I supposed to spend them all?' Tears filled Meng Chao's eyes.
However, when he saw the price of the Awakened Advanced Skill, he immediately stopped smiling.
"What? Awakening Cicada Listening Force requires 8,888 RMB? Awakening the Magnetic Field Acceleration Method required 15000? Awakening Advanced Gun Technique required 19000? Even casting Intermediate Healing Skill once would cost 9999!
"Is it inflated because I broke through the limit of life?"
Meng Chao lifted his right arm out of the chocolate liquid.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but the wounds on his body had all disappeared, leaving only a thin layer of scabs. Many of the scabs had already fallen off, revealing tender new flesh.
Meng Chao's eyes sparkled. He saw faint layers of energy ripples that looked like seven-colored smoke floating in the air. As he breathed, they slowly surged into his right arm.
It was like an intravenous injection. It was cold and comfortable, and he could clearly sense the existence of the three spirit meridians.
He clenched his fist lightly and tried to use his mind to activate the three spirit meridians. Spirit tattoos appeared on his right arm, and they looked like beautiful, dark gold tattoos. At the same time, they exuded the fierceness of the One Hundred Battle Saber and the might of the Demon Subduing Pole.
'Spirit energy has entered my body, and spirit tattoos have appeared. This is the first level of Superhuman Realm!
'I really broke through the shackles of life at the moment of life and death and became a superhuman!'
Meng Chao felt all sorts of emotions rise in his heart.
He closed his eyes, and the first thing that appeared in his mind was Principal Sun's burning figure.
'Old principal, don't worry. We Earthlings will definitely not be conquered by the Other World!'
Meng Chao jumped out of the medical cabin and stretched his back in great satisfaction.
He noticed that he was in a single room with a pretty good environment.
Aside from the medical equipment that was full of tubes, there were also two pots of seemingly natural green plants in the corner.
Regardless of whether it was the plants or the space that occupied them, they gave off a luxurious air.
There was a small couch beside the medical cabin, and there was a girl curled up on it. She was sleeping soundly, and she kept smacking her lips, as if she was eating delicious food in her dreams.
It was Bai Jiacao.
Meng Chao could not help but smile.
He looked at the cabinet beside the couch. His sister's school bag was hanging on it, along with her homework.
By the looks of it, she had been guarding him while doing her homework, and as she did it, she fell asleep.
Meng Chao tiptoed over to check his sister's homework.
It was a set of application questions. They were all sorts of force execution formulas, fighting power output, and calculations for the maximum defense of various monsters.
They involved very complicated multivariate equations and matrices, so there was enough space under each question.
But Bai Jiacao was always scribbling and flamboyant. She even made up a few formulas that did not exist, and with one swing of her pen, she would get the answer.
Meng Chao frowned a little. He was about to wake the girl up and scold her for not paying attention when she answered the questions.
After doing some calculations in his head, he discovered, to his surprise, that her answers were all correct.
There were no reference answers at the back of the set.
This meant that the girl had instantly seen the answer, but she was too lazy to write a lengthy explanation of how she solved the problem, which was why she did it half-heartedly?
Meng Chao gasped in amazement. 'Is this the power of Night Demon Blood?'
Speaking of which, Meng Chao had been thinking about something.
Where did Bai Jiacao get her Night Demon Blood?
Logically speaking, since it was a "blood", it should have been inherited.
But Meng Chao was certain that his adoptive mother, Bai Suxin, was just a normal citizen and had never displayed any supernatural abilities.
It was the same for his father, Meng Yishan.
His sister was basically the same as his parents. She should not be a natural witch.
Also, theoretically speaking, he had already gotten rid of all the "landmines" in his sister's corruption, but even so, he had only managed to reduce the probability of her corruption by less than ten percent.
In other words, there was still a crucial turning point on her path of growth.
What could it be?
'I don't have any recollection of how my sister obtained Night Demon Blood. Looks like it has nothing to do with our family. It's because of certain people or forces of power in society. If I have the chance, I have to investigate it.
'By the way, there's also the dream I had while I was asleep. If I dreamt that I turned into a Bloody Moon Wolf King because of the interference from its powerful brainwaves before it died, what's up with the blood pools and blood cocoons?
'Could it be that monsters aren't born naturally but are artificially created?
'That shouldn't be the case. I've dissected a lot of monsters, and their reproductive systems are very normal. There are no signs of them being artificially modified … At the very least, there are no signs of low-grade monsters.
'But if I think about it carefully, if they're purely natural products and follow the law of the jungle, it's impossible for them to charge at humanity's steel defense line for decades, right? This doesn't fit with their survival instincts! '
Meng Chao suddenly realized that even if he returned from the apocalypse, he still knew nothing about the mysterious Other World.
There were still too many secrets and truths that he could only answer once he was stronger.
However, when he flipped to the last page of the exercise book and saw a comic Bai Jiacao had drawn in a blank space, he could not help but smile.
The comic used childish strokes to depict two stickmen with big heads.
One of them had braids, and his head was full of anger. There was a conversation box next to him, and it said, [Wake up, stupid big brother!]
The person lying on the ground had eyes that looked like … His tongue was hanging out, and it was hanging to the side. He was as ugly as he could be.
Meng Chao did not know whether the girl was worried about him or cursing him.
Meng Chao reached out and pinched the girl's nose.
In the beginning, Bai Jiacao did not react. She just continued smacking her lips.
Five seconds later, something was off. Her cheeks gradually puffed up, and she looked like a fat fish that had surfaced.
Then, circles of red appeared on her round cheeks, and her lips and eyelashes trembled at the same time.
She sucked in a deep breath, shut her eyes, and jumped up from the couch.
"It hurts! Who dares to ambush me?!"
The girl covered her nose and screamed. When she saw that it was Meng Chao, her eyes that could speak were filled with joy.
But the next second, she registered what was going on. Her joy was replaced by anger. "You demon! You bullied me the moment you woke up!"
"It's your fault for ruining my image on paper. If you're going to draw me, at least draw me a little more handsome!" Meng Chao grinned.
Every time he bullied the Dark Witch, he felt happy!
"You …" Bai Jiacao's face turned red.
She did not expect that her bad big brother would discover her little secret, which she had casually put on. She rubbed her nose for a while, and her attention was attracted by Meng Chao's right arm. She cried out in surprise, "Big Brother, you've become bad! You actually got a tattoo!"
"What are you talking about? This is the sign of spirit energy surging in my blood. It means that I've already cleared my spirit meridians and become a legendary superhuman. Heh heh, I'm amazing, right?!"
Meng Chao used his left hand to hold his right wrist in an attempt to control the spirit magnetic field rotation.
In the beginning, his spirit energy was restless, and he could not control it.
It was just like a teenager who had just entered puberty. It was difficult for him to do as he pleased and control his spirit energy as he pleased.
But after he practiced it a few more times, he gradually got used to it, and he could adapt to the situation.
He swung his arm, and the spiral-shaped, dark golden tattoo sank into his skin and disappeared.
"Wow …"
Bai Jiacao stared at him with a blank stare. "Big Brother, are you feeling any discomfort? I'll immediately call the doctor."
"There's no hurry. Where are Mom and Dad? How long have I been asleep?"
Meng Chao felt pretty good about himself.
If there were any side effects, he could just bear with the pain and use a Middle Stage Healing Skill to perform a full-body treatment. It should not be a big problem.
Right now, he was more concerned about Test Area 5523 and his national college examination results.
"You slept for seven days and seven nights, and Mom and Dad are really worried. Fortunately, Doctor Su Yuan comforted them and said that this is a very common phenomenon after a person suddenly awakens. It's the same as the system upgrading and rebooting, so you'll wake up soon," Bai Jiacao said.
"Mom and Dad just went out to eat, and I'm on summer break, so I came over to visit you. Big Brother, I heard that you performed really well during the practical test and even became a hero. Over the past few days, a lot of people from the school, education department, the media, the army, and the Supernatural Tower have come to visit you. They've been praising you to the skies. Is it real? Oh, by the way, there are reporters interviewing me!"
'How am I a hero?'
Meng Chao thought. 'Only people like Principal Sun are real heroes. I'm still far from that.'
The girl's final sentence stunned him, and he quickly said, "Wait, you didn't say anything to the reporters, right?"
"Of course not. I told them the truth. The reporters asked me about your usual behavior at home. What kind of power drove you to become a hero? I told them that you're really serious about your studies at home. You hide in your room all day and browse through the underground life science forum! "Bai Jiacao said seriously.

"Yesterday, when it was published, many of my brothers and sisters supported me, and I was so grateful that I shed tears.
"Right now, we have five alliance masters. Thank you, Alliance Master Mu Yuan, Alliance Master Scatter Heart, Alliance Master Tai Wuwu, Alliance Master Busder, and Alliance Master Eternal Night Extreme Light.
"Of course, I also have to thank all the grandmasters, hall masters, branch masters, attendants, disciples, apprentices, and all my friends who support me so that I can support my family and write with peace of mind.
"I really want to list all of your names here, but if I exceed the number of words, I'll have to pay for it. I should just thank everyone in my heart.
"I'm done with four chapters today, and everyone is so supportive of me. I'll grit my teeth and try to continue breaking new records tomorrow. I won't let down my brothers and sisters' expectations. Let's work hard!
