Chapter 1 The God’s Favored One from a Poor Family.

On a September afternoon, the sun was scorching hot.

Here was Lanhai No.1 High School testing ground.

Dressed in tight black sportswear, Li Ping'an squatted in front of the silver track, biting the stone pendant in front of his chest. He was not strong enough but was well-proportioned, just like a black cheetah prepared to prance.

"Senior Li Ping'an, come on!"

"Senior Li, you are the pride of our civilian students. We will always be on your side. You will be the real awakening powerhouse!"

"..."

The feverish cheering of young girls and boys surrounded him. The uprising hormone was much hotter than the blazing sun in the sky.

However, Li Ping'an shut his eyes and ears to everything.

In his eyes, he could only see the silver track ahead.

"Exhale, inhale."

Li Ping'an constantly breathed in and out, adjusting his state.

"Today, we are having the first comprehensive test of the junior year in high school. It is also the most important one, which will directly affect the resources in the school. Although I did well today, the previous strength test and neural response test will be ranked in the top 5. It is far from what I need!"

"Now it is the speed test, which is my strongest part. I must safely seize the opportunity!"

"You rich kids don't care about the limited school resources, but these are all the cornerstones for me!"

"What I wasn't born with, I will gain with my own hands!"

"I will be a real awakening powerhouse. I will rewrite my fate and find out the real cause of my parents' death!"

"Besides..."

In Li Ping'an's mind, a most delicate face emerged.

She was wearing her favorite white dress, and her long black hair was dancing with the wind. On that rainy night, under the cherry tree they met, she was crying like a child, together with the snow-white cherry falling.

"Brother Ping'an, I will wait for you. I will always wait for you! If you don't come to me, I'll wait for you all my life."

The familiar delicate fragrance of the girl seemed to linger in the young boy's heart, soothing his tense muscles.

However, the young boy's dark eyes were instantly filled with indescribable firmness, which was the endless desire for the future!

"Luohan, wait for me! I will keep my promise. One year later, I will be admitted to the Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University. Then I will tell everyone openly that you belong to me, Li Ping'an!"

The Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University.

If he enrolled in this group, let alone the more than fifty thousand students of Lanhai No.1 High School, even the millions of students in the whole Lanhai City would get crazy.

Because it was the real supreme Holy Land, one of the top core training bases in the world, and only the most talented genius could go there.

Among all the two billion people of Walt Country, there were at least tens of millions of candidates. However, the annual enrollment of the Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University was always less than ten, and less the five was more often.

Once entering the Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University, he would complete his change like a carp to leap onto the goal.

It didn't matter whether you were poor or rich there. The only important matter was your real strength, which was the priority of everything.

Anyone who graduated from the Hyphalosaurus Group would be a top man of Walt Country, the minion of the upper class.

What was more, it was said that Yan Changkong, the strongest powerhouse in Walt Country and the third strongest man in the world, was the chief instructor of the Hyphalosaurus Group.

It was the 15th year of the Novo Age now. With the rapid development of science and technology, many incurable diseases of the past had been overcome at this time.

In particular, with the advent of Nutrition Drop and Energy Drop, human beings paid more attention to their bodies, and a lot of strong people who were unimaginable for the people of the past emerged.

Besides, human beings had prepared to explore the starry sky to seek the mysteries of the universe.

Nowadays, in most countries and areas, almost every student, starting from primary school, would have physical training courses while receiving cultural education. People cultivated and stimulated their own potential from childhood.

In this field, human beings were still at their infancy stage. Even those top powerhouses moved carefully by trial and error.

With the unremitting efforts of these sages, a frame that was still green but quite complete and firm had been offered to Li Ping'an and other later generations.

The human body itself was the most mysterious thing with unlimited potential.

After the sages' exploration with blood and life, they found that when the human body's comprehensive qualities reached a subtle point, the use of powerful Energy Drop would stimulate its greatest potential, awaken the mysterious factors in the body and produce extraordinary and refined forces.

This was the legendary Awakening Stage!

However, it was not easy to meet the requirements of the Awakening Stage unless one's body was trained to the extreme.

Otherwise, the Energy Drop would not play a positive effect but would play bad effects that could even destroy one's foundation.

This was the Refining Stage before the Awakening Stage!

At this time, there were more than 50,000 students in Lanhai No.1 High School, and most of them, to be exact, 99% of them were at the prime of the Refining Stage.

Only a very few rich students who had access to the Nutrition Drop or some very gifted genius could reach the interim of the Refining Stage.

As for the late of the Refining Stage, less than 20 people among these 50,000 students could make it.

Li Ping'an was one of the 20 students.

Moreover, he was the only one from a poor family among the 20 people.

For more than ten years, he was the first poor student in Lanhai No.1 High School who entered the late of the Refining Stage in the second semester of Senior 2.

In addition, Li Ping'an enjoyed high popularity. He always stood out for the poor students, which made him become the idol of countless poor children in the school.

Even the prettiest girl in the school, Jiang Zhiyan, the daughter of Lanhai's giant financial group, was a little impressed with Li Ping'an.

But it was also because of Jiang Zhiyan that Li Ping'an made many powerful enemies.

At the moment, a babel of voices came from a short distance.

Just like a myriad of stars surround the moon, A rich young man in gorgeous clothes with a long stature surrounded by several teenagers in rare alloy fiber sportswear were walking towards Li Ping'an.

He was an enemy of Li Ping'an, the eldest son of the Tianhai Financial Group, the first-class childe of Lanhai No.1 High School. He was Liu Qingyun, who always regarded Jiang Zhiyan as his exclusive domain.

"Childe Qingyun, that boy Li Ping'an is so rampant. He knew exactly we are your fellows, and he wanted to start a fight. If we hadn't run away faster..."

"Yeah, Childe Qingyun, this Li something is so snooty. He is just a lad from a shantytown though he has some strength. He even dares to hook up with your girl. He thinks he is the boss in the school?"

"..."

When Liu Qingyun heard his fellows complaining, his eyes were covered with a cold shadow, and his fingers were shaking.

They walked to Li Ping'an. Liu Qingyun sneered, and he looked down at Li Ping'an, "Li Ping'an, you are so bold."

"Holy crap, it is Liu Qingyun! It is said he is the seeded player of the Prospective Awakening Stage. He doesn't need to attend this test at all."

"Oh, no! Liu Qingyun seems to pick on brother Ping'an."

Like a cold current struck, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the air fell into a cold state instantaneously.

The instructors nearby were all getting nervous.

What was Liu Qingyun here for? Although they were instructors, they felt stressed when facing Liu Qingyun.

Li Ping'an frowned slightly, but soon he restored. He looked at Liu Qingyun in peace, not saying a single word.

As the old saying went, "Fight fire with water."

The enmity and malice between them had been a fact. Yesterday, Liu Qingyun even sent some people to threaten Li Ping'an. Reconciliation would be impossible for them.

Others were afraid of Liu Qingyun, but Li Ping'an was not one of them.

Prospective Awakening Stage. What was the big deal?

Li Ping'an was not easy to deal with!

They had to fight first before they can judge who the winner was!

"Ho."

Liu Qingyun laughed grimly. He nodded his head and gave Li Ping'an a wry look.

"Li Ping'an, I know you have guts. I came here today to tell you one thing. One week later, the combat testing will be held. Ho, at that time, I will be waiting for you at the testing ground. I hope you will still be so courageous as today."

He was young, but his arrogance against newcomers was quite mature. What he said just now carried a lot of weight.

"What!"

"This..."

The crowd burst into an uproar instantly.

No one had expected that Liu Qingyun, whose name was widely known, would personally challenge Li Ping'an. Was the rumor about the relationship between Li Ping'an and Jiang Zhiyan true?

Several Liu Qingyun's fellows who wetted themselves yesterday were getting perky, "Li Ping'an, you were so insolent yesterday. Why are you behaving like a coward now?"

"Li Ping'an, you..."

Another fellow wanted to say something, but as Li Ping'an glanced at him, he immediately shut up and retreated behind Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun raised his browns at once, clenching his fists.

Li Ping'an was really rampant. He even dared to act like that in front of him.

"All right."

"I take your challenge, Liu Qingyun. But I am having a test now. Please leave."

Li Ping'an took a look at Liu Qingyun calmly. Then he completely ignored him and focused on the silver track.

Liu Qingyun froze suddenly, but immediately he wore a smiling face to cover his anger, saying, "Great, I'll wait for you."

"Holy crap, this..."

Seeing Liu Qingyun stride away with a long face, the crowd felt thrilled. Would it be the end of the world?

At this time, on the edge of the silver track, testing machines were running, and the red ray was scanning.

The instructor on the sideline made a sign at Li Ping'an, hinting him that he could start the test.

Li Ping'an tightened up immediately. He was both physically and mentally focused on the test without any distraction.

"Ding!"

As the alert tone sounded, Li Ping'an's legs pranced with powerful strength. He ran towards the testing area like a flying black cheetah on the silver track.

This test was different from the one from decades ago. What was tested now was the top speed per second.

The track was only 60 meters long. The testing area was behind a short buffering area which was only some 10 meters. This test had extreme physical requirements.

If the explosive power was not huge enough, the real strength would not be displayed in such a short distance.

However, speed and explosive power were what Li Ping'an was good at.

Whoosh!

Like a whirlwind, he finished the running of 60 meters in the blink of an eye.

Red letters were displayed on the screen, showing Li Ping'an's performance.

"25.1 m/s!"

"Haha."

"Well done, Li! You are one step closer to the standard of the Awakening Stage, 30 m/s. Come on, young boy!"

When Li Ping'an was about to turn around to see his grades, the chief instructor, Mr. Wang, came to him suddenly. He patted on Li Ping'an's shoulder. His appreciation of Li Ping'an was shown on his face.

Mr. Wang was from a poor family too. It took him a lot of effort to get there.

Although there were people who were more outstanding than Li Ping'an in Lanhai No.1 High School, they were all rich students with personal instructors. But he witnessed Li Ping'an's progress and taught him little by little. Of course, he was happy for Li Ping'an's rapid progress.

He saw what Liu Qingyun did to Li Ping'an just now, but he couldn't help him on that matter. However, he could encourage Li Ping'an in his way.

"Haha, thanks to your guide, Mr. Wang."

Li Ping'an replied to Mr. Wang with respect. He was also a little excited when he saw his speed.

His best result before was 24.7 m/s. Right now, he even improved by 0.4 meters. All these days' hard work had not been in vain.

According to his current state, he had some assurance even if he had to fight against Liu Qingyun, who was in the Prospective Awakening Stage.

Mr. Wang was even more satisfied with Li Ping'an's mental state. He laughed loudly and touched his head with encouragement.

The road of the strong was competitive and stressful. When meeting difficulties, if one was afraid of it and chicken out, it would be useless even if he was especially talented.

As instructors, no one didn't adore kids like Li Ping'an, who was obedient, hard-working and motivated.

"25.1 m/s?"

"Gosh, that's Senior Li Ping'an! That must be the best result in Lanhai No.1 High School of this year. No wonder Senior Li accepted Liu Qingyun's challenge!"

"Senior Li is the best!"

"Senior Li, I like you so much!"

"..."

The crowd got excited again when they knew the result. Some brave girls even directly made their confessions to Li Ping'an. The enthusiasm of youth was flying.

"25.1 m/s?"

Not far from them, Liu Qingyun frowned slightly, "He really has something."

But soon, he sneered, "Li Ping'an, you are remarkable, but you are not yet qualified to be my opponent!"

"One week later, I will tread you underfoot and destroy your poor dignity in front of Jiang Zhiyan. I will let you know the huge difference between you and me!"

He didn't think about the fact that the dosage of the Nutrition Drop he used to get to the Prospective Awakening Stage was thousands of times of Li Ping'an's dosage.

"Wow, here comes the goddess Jiang Zhiyan!"

At the moment, someone exclaimed!

Immediately, all people fixed their eyes in one direction.

They saw a girl in a sky-blue tight sports T-shirt, snow-white cropped trousers walking towards Li Ping'an with a smiling face. Her long curly hair was waving, and her slender and perfect figure was bathing under the warm sun. She was just like a fairy from the wonderland.

"Giggle."

With a charming chuckle, she stretched out her fine and slim hand and gave Li Ping'an a bottle of five-star Nutrition Drop, "Not bad. You made progress again. This is for you."

"..."

The clamors world became quite instantly. It seemed that all the people were petrified.

In particular, Liu Qingyun, who was unperturbed and thought everything was under his control, was totally dumbstruck now.

The next second, his pretty face seemed to have been attacked by a nuclear bomb and could not stop twitching and twisting.
