My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

The other side answered instantly, "Hello? Pang?"

"This is Chen Yu. Did you need me for something?"

"Yes!" came the excited voice of the female coach from the handset, "Nicely done! I never expected you to be so crafty! Hahaha, you made it to the arena competition, and with the highest score in history no less! Amazing."

"Thank you." Chen Yu replied modestly, "My IQ is just too high, I had no choice."

"That's enough for now. For tomorrow's arena competition, regardless of when you fight, ignore what everyone else is saying and just surrender immediately, understand?"

"Why?"

"You've only just started school, and your abilities are limited. While you are the top of the leaderboard, your actual strength isn't that great at the moment. It's even quite poor. Don't let your first place status cloud your judgment. The arena competition isn't for you; it's dangerous out there."

"...Okay, I understand."

"Good. That's settled then. You two boys," the coach's voice bubbled with joy over the handset, "actually graduated without a scratch."

"Beep—"

After ending the call and handing the phone back to his hefty neighbor, Chen Yu stretched out lazily, "OK, I'm off to sleep, you should rest early too."

The hefty neighbor took the phone, but his feet remained in place.

"Something else?" Chen Yu assessed him up and down.

"Yu," the hefty neighbor hesitated, "you... you're not thinking of actually fighting in the arena, are you?"

"Why would you think that? Did I make it that obvious?"

"I just have this feeling, that you will fight."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu pondered for a long while, then sighed deeply, placing his hand on the hefty neighbor's shoulder, "Woman, don't be too clever."

"I'm a man."

"Same difference."

Sending the hefty neighbor away,

Chen Yu went up to the twenty-fifth floor reception to get a power bank and charged his phone. Then he returned to his room, locked the door, and sat down heavily on the stone bed.

He turned on his phone to check the night's news.

As expected.

He was on the front page headline.

Every corner of the internet was discussing him.

And they were divided into two camps.

One side thought he "cheated" his way up, arguing that a high score doesn't prove true strength and may leave a bad impression of humans being deceptive to other species.

The other side felt that regardless of his strength, Chen Yu had definitely dampened the spirits of other species and had boosted national confidence by securing the top spot with a record-setting performance.

The first side called the second "servile lackeys."

The second, in turn, called the first "worthless."

The extreme divisions between the two sides resulted in a noisy clash.

Bored by it all, Chen Yu logged out of 'Shitpost' and called home.

"Hello? Xiaoyu." Chen's excited voice came from the handset, "I've been trying to call you, but your phone was off. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"We watched the livestream! It was fantastic! I'm so proud of you! Dad has even gone outside to set off fireworks for you."

"Fireworks?"

Chen Yu looked around, realizing the room was completely enclosed and had no windows.

He immediately stood up, walked to the east wall of his room, erupted with his supernatural power, and threw a fierce punch!

"Boom—"

The stone wall was instantly knocked open, revealing a giant hole.

The night's darkness outside the tower was visible. Read exclusive content at empire

Through the thin mist of the night, fireworks were erupting over the direction of the capital city.

Each burst spelled out a huge character.

From left to right, they read—[My Son is Awesome].

Chen Yu: "..."

"See them?" Chen yelled excitedly, "Dad and the Butler went out specially to buy these letter fireworks to make those four words."

"I see them," Chen Yu scratched his chin, "but you set them off too early."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow, bring mom and dad to the arena competition," Chen Yu leaned on the broken wall, gazing at the continuous fireworks in the distance, "Let them see what real 'awesome' looks like."

Above the tower, the moonlight bathed him.

Below the tower, the spotlight of the patrol team also focused on him.

"That's the guy! Break down the tower!"
