The next morning, in the military cafeteria.
Thousands of examinees were having breakfast here.
The students of Deep Sea University occupied a corner. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Did you know that Jiang Shaoyang didn't sleep all night and had been sitting on the roof!"
A student said in a low voice.
"I saw it too. In the second half of the night, he was still walking back and forth on the edge of the roof. His speed was extremely fast, like a crazy demon!"
Another student took over the topic. He immediately shook his head and sighed, "Jiang Shaoyang has suffered a huge blow. He was defeated so thoroughly in front of everyone. For someone like him who has been carrying the halo of a genius since childhood and is extremely arrogant, this is simply a great humiliation. I'm afraid he will never be able to recover from this setback..."
Before he could finish his sentence, many people felt a scorching aura gradually approaching them. It was as if they were placed in a crafting furnace that was thousands of degrees hot. They couldn't even breathe.
The first student turned his head and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
The second student turned his head. His eyes were even bigger than the egg in his hand.
The third student turned his head. His hand trembled, and the entire bowl of tofu pudding fell between his legs. At first, he was unaware of it, but two seconds later, he jumped up with a cry.
This shout attracted everyone's attention.
When they saw who it was, they were all dumbfounded and dumbstruck.
It was Jiang Shaoyang, a completely different Jiang Shaoyang.
A day ago, Jiang Shaoyang was like a star hanging high in the sky. He was so aloof, arrogant, and immersed in his own world, ignoring the people around him.
When he looked at his classmates, it was not contempt, but complete disregard!
But at this moment, it was as if he had broken the chain deep inside his heart and exploded the restriction that sealed his soul from the inside out. Every single cell in his body was releasing an endless amount of energy, turning him into a blazing … sun!
That's right, a sun, a wanton sun, a sun that could burn everything!
No one dared to stand within two meters of him.
Everyone had a feeling that as long as they were within two meters of him... They would be swallowed by his light, leaving nothing behind.
Jiang Shaoyang's eyes swept across the faces of his classmates one by one.
No one dared to look at him. Everyone was trembling with fear.
Because they found that Jiang Shaoyang's eyes were no longer indifferent. Instead, they were filled with ferocious light, hungry, and murderous aura.
And the biggest change was undoubtedly …
"Shao Yang, you actually shaved all your hair?"
A student cried out involuntarily.
Under the illumination of the lights. Jiang Shaoyang's head was shiny, and his long black hair was gone without a trace. Not a single strand of hair was left behind.
This fierce and peerless appearance was completely different from yesterday's long hair fluttering in the wind. It was as if he had been reborn!
Jiang Shaoyang faintly glanced at the student and forced him to take two steps back. Then, he leisurely walked to the few students who were talking about him at the beginning and stretched out a finger. He shook it gently.
"You're wrong about one thing."
"I do not have the halo of a genius."
"I am a genius!"
"This is the most basic fact. It won't change because of a single battle, just like how dark clouds may occasionally cover the sun, but the sun will always be there! "
"Only those fake geniuses, those ordinary people with the halo of geniuses, would take defeat to heart."
"How could a true genius like me be defeated by a single battle? Unable to recover from the setback? I will only become braver and stronger as I fight. "
"Because I am very sure that no matter how many times I fail, I will definitely win in the end!"
Everyone was intimidated by his imposing manner. There was a brief silence in the corner of the cafeteria. After a moment, someone asked in a trembling voice.
"Shaoyang, are you really okay?"
"Yes, of course."
Jiang Shaoyang grinned and said, "I made a breakthrough."
"What!"
Everyone stood up.
"Failure is the mother of success. In the past, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence because I have never really failed since I was a child."
Jiang Shaoyang unhurriedly took out a handful of small steel balls from his trouser pocket. Each of them was no more than one millimeter in diameter, as if he was holding a handful of rice grains.
"It wasn't until yesterday that I realized my fatal flaw after listening to Brother Li Yao's brilliant speech."
Jiang Shaoyang's fingers slightly flicked, and dozens of steel balls lightly jumped between his fingers. Their speed was getting faster and faster, like dozens of silver streamers dancing gracefully.
"In the past, although I set some goals for myself, these goals were too simple, too boring, and too easy to succeed. They were not worth me exerting 100% of my strength."
"It's me who sealed my true strength!"
Dozens of silver streamers converged into a group of silver-white ball of light. Its trajectory could not be seen clearly, and only a faint whistling sound could be heard. It was like a small tornado taking shape in Jiang Shaoyang's palm.
"His hand speed is even faster than yesterday!"
Everyone only took a few glances, and they already felt dizzy.
Even the person with the strongest eyesight could not catch Jiang Shaoyang's movements.
"But now, I have found a new goal that is worth me burning every minute and every second to blast out 100%, no, 1000% of my strength!"
"The moment I found this goal, I felt an invisible chain bursting all over my body. The energy that was originally hidden in the deepest part of my cells surged like a flood breaking through a dam, allowing me to break through in an instant!"
"Brother Li Yao did not lie to me. What he said is true!"
Jiang Shaoyang roared. The silver ball of light between his fingers suddenly split into dozens of streamers and shot out in all directions at lightning speed!
Many people were caught off guard and instinctively dodged backward, thinking that the small steel balls would hit them.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaoyang's right hand disappeared in an instant and turned into a faint mist, completely enveloping the dozens of small steel balls flying at high speed.
His hand seemed to have magnetism. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of streamers were all sucked into his hand.
As he spread out his palm, dozens of small steel balls spun around and gently collided with each other, producing a "ding ding" sound.
"Godlike hand speed!"
Everyone forgot to breathe. The same exclamation was hovering in their minds.
"Overnight, my limit hand speed increased by 11.3%."
Jiang Shaoyang calmly said. He put the small steel balls back into his trouser pocket and scanned the audience. Soon, he locked onto his target and walked to the other end of the cafeteria.
"Shaoyang. Where are you going? "
A student could not help but ask.
Everyone was full of shock and curiosity about Jiang Shaoyang's changes overnight.
Jiang Shaoyang's mouth curved up, revealing his white teeth. He smiled and said, "I have such a breakthrough thanks to Brother Li Yao. Of course, I have to thank him properly, and while I'm at it..."
"Let Brother Li Yao have a taste of defeat!"
The last sentence ignited the passion in everyone's heart. Every candidate of Deep Sea University jumped up.
"The tenth star! Worthy of being the tenth star! He was reborn overnight and his strength increased crazily! "
"Jiang Shaoyang and Li Yao were on par with each other. Even if he was defeated yesterday, it was mostly because of Li Yao's dirty tricks."
"Overnight, Jiang Shaoyang's hand speed increased by 11.3%. How could Li Yao be his opponent? He will definitely be crushed by Jiang Shaoyang!"
"Quickly follow him and see!"
Jiang Shaoyang walked step by step. He approached Li Yao, followed by a long line of people who were waiting to watch a good show.
The military cafeteria was very big. It could accommodate tens of thousands of people eating at the same time. The cafeteria was separated by hundreds of meters on both sides. Li Yao just happened to be sitting in the corner on the other side, concentrating on eating. He did not care about the commotion hundreds of meters away.
However, he also thought of Jiang Shaoyang.
"What an interesting guy. If I can compete with him often, it can indeed greatly improve our cultivation! "
While sipping his soy milk, he recalled the soul-stirring contest between the two.
What Li Yao remembered most was not the battle between Wolf King and Tarantula, but the contest between the two with toothpicks.
"My conclusion at the beginning was still too conservative. This guy's maximum hand speed may be more than 97% of mine. If he trains for a few more days, he may surpass me! "
"Interesting, really interesting. I am really lucky to be able to find such an opponent among my peers. I must train even more crazily than him. I must not be beaten by him!"
"But I wonder how fast my current hand speed is?"
"Right, I haven't used 'that' method to test my hand speed for a long time. Although it has no practical value, at least..."
"Let me have some fun first!"
Under the stimulation of Jiang Shaoyang, Li Yao's competitive heart also began to stir.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao's mind suddenly jumped out a large number of mysterious and complex structural diagrams, dazzling numbers, and intricate algorithms.
In just one second, he entered the super perceptive state!
Brain cell activity 150%!
Brain cell activity 200%!
Brain cell activity 220%!
Testing hand speed wasn't something that could be done by randomly swinging his hands a few times like cramps. It required the brain, eyes, arms, and palms to all be exquisitely coordinated and precisely complete a series of actions.
After entering the super perceptive state, the brain cell activity would greatly increase, and the maximum hand speed would naturally rise as well.
In practice, this kind of extreme hand speed didn't have much significance.
Because after a few minutes of super perceptive state, the brain would need to cool down for a long time before returning to normal. It was impossible for Li Yao to pursue a moment of super high hand speed and pay a few hours of cooldown time.
This was just an interesting game.
Li Yao controlled the brain cell activity to 220%.
This was the limit that he could freely control.
If he increased it any further, he wouldn't be able to control it as he pleased.
"Pa!"
Li Yao's little finger gently flicked on the table, and a toothpick jumped out of the jar, which he twirled between his fingers.
"Swish!"
Li Yao pulled out a napkin and casually threw it. The napkin flew high, fluttered, and slowly fell down.
At this time, Jiang Shaoyang just happened to walk over, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the napkin.
"What is he doing?" Jiang Shaoyang was puzzled.
Brilliance brighter than the sun flashed in Li Yao's eyes. When the paper towel drifted to his side, he suddenly extended his hand. As if countless bolts of lightning were exploding between his fingers, the toothpicks pierced hundreds of neatly arranged holes on the soft paper towel in the blink of an eye!
"This..."
Jiang Shaoyang was completely dumbfounded.
