Chapter 1

Waking up at half past four in the morning, Yang Qi started running around the playground, one lap after another, running mechanically, his face expressionless. Before the sun rose, he had already run thirty laps. After finishing, he went into the small forest not far from the playground, swinging his limbs, using his fists, elbows, knees, feet, and even his shoulders and body to hit, kick, and strike the trees as hard as possible, the more painful the better.

It wasn't that Yang Qi was a pervert, but rather that he was genuinely trying to shift his attention, using physical pain to reduce and replace the pain deep in his mind.

Pain, unbearable pain.

This pain deep in his mind had been there since Yang Qi could remember, continuing without interruption, even during sleep.

Moreover, his body had always been extremely cold, unlike the normal body temperature of others. It seemed as if there was a cold aura inside him, forcing him to exercise vigorously to maintain his body temperature.

When footsteps sounded in his ears, Yang Qi stopped his "self-mutilation," walked to the side, and squatted in another corner with a book he had prepared. Yang Qi was known for his eccentricity in this school, and he didn't want to be seen as a monster who mutilates himself.

Reading was another method for Yang Qi to shift his attention, although the pain in his mind made it hard for him to focus. The book in his hand had a dry and dull title, and the content was even more confusing. Because of this, Yang Qi had to concentrate to read, thereby alleviating the pain deep in his mind.

As the footsteps in the campus became more mixed, Yang Qi had to put away the book and go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, starting his day of study and life.

After the daytime classes ended, Yang Qi went downstairs to run. After the evening self-study ended, when it was quiet at night, Yang Qi secretly returned to the playground, running lap after lap until he felt that this torture could help him sleep soundly, then he returned to the dormitory.

This was Yang Qi's daily life, strange yet regular. In the eyes of many classmates and teachers at Ruiyun High School, Yang Qi was a freak, or perhaps a fool.

Yang Qi had ordinary grades, an ordinary appearance, and an ordinary family background, everything was extremely ordinary, completely the type that would be lost in a crowd.

Moreover, his personality was strange, making him look somewhat foolish due to the pain in his mind.

When you talked to him, he would only smile foolishly, or sometimes show no reaction at all.

When you laughed at him for running and walking on the playground like a fool, he would only smile foolishly, or sometimes show no reaction at all.

He seemed to never get angry, and never knew what humiliation was.

He seemed to always be busy with his own affairs, things that others could never see or understand, looking as if he was in a daze or thinking.

Over two years, the students and even the teachers had become accustomed to Yang Qi's eccentricity. No one would play with him, and no teacher would call on him to answer questions in class. The only thing that made the students and teachers happy was that Yang Qi would never cause them trouble.

In the third year of high school, the study load became increasingly tight, almost every moment was spent solving problems. Previously, there were monthly exams, now there were simulations every half month, and even every week or every three days.

During the evening self-study, exams were issued, and the next day, the papers were graded and returned, with the scores announced. Yang Qi's score was neither high nor low.

When the bell rang, the teacher left the classroom, and the students were about to go to the cafeteria for lunch. At this moment, a handsome boy walked to the podium, smiling and said to everyone, "Classmates, please be quiet, I have something to announce."

This boy was Qin Muchu, the class president of Class 3, Grade 3, and a well-known rich and handsome student, a second-generation official.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and it's also my birthday."

Qin Muchu's smile was extremely sunny, making many girls in the class look at him with stars in their eyes.

"I know everyone is very busy with studies, but we also need to balance work and rest. I thought it would be a good idea to have a party to celebrate my birthday, so everyone can relax. After class tomorrow afternoon, there will be a car to pick everyone up. Please do me this favor."

"Class President, we will follow your orders," someone said with a smile.

"Of course, no one will be absent for the class president's birthday, right!"

Except for a few students who showed signs of impatience, the rest nodded in agreement, and several students even loudly expressed their support for the class president and the rich and handsome student.

At this moment...

A student stood up early, his face expressionless, and walked out of the classroom. It was none other than Yang Qi, seemingly not hearing the class president's words, passing the podium like a ghost and floating towards the door.

This... was indeed... somewhat abrupt and disharmonious.

Of course, everyone knew Yang Qi's personality, knowing he was probably in a daze again, and they all smiled awkwardly. However, the class president, as the main character, felt his face burning, feeling very embarrassed.

"Yang Qi, did you hear what I said? Where are you going?"

Qin Muchu's expression changed quickly, the embarrassment disappeared, but his smile was not as bright, and he reached out to stop Yang Qi.

"I'm going to the playground."

Yang Qi seemed to have just come back to his senses, smiled foolishly, and then walked towards the door, still not fully aware of the situation.

Watching Yang Qi walk out of the classroom, Qin Muchu's face became even more uncomfortable.

"Class President, don't be angry, you know Yang Qi, he was probably sleepwalking just now."

"That's right, it's not worth getting angry over a fool."

Some people even directly mocked Yang Qi's foolishness. Hearing this, Qin Muchu's smile returned, but with a hint of seriousness, and he said to the person, "I won't get angry over Yang Qi, I'm just concerned about him. And you, don't go around saying bad things about your classmates behind their backs."

The person nodded vigorously.

"Then it's settled, don't rush home after school tomorrow."

Qin Muchu smiled and reminded the students again.

At this moment, Yang Qi had already reached the playground, looked up at the sunset, and muttered, "Almost missed today's sunset."

Yang Qi didn't have the time to think about what had just happened, as the pain in his mind destined him to have no time to think about such things. After running, the fatigue in his body gradually shifted the pain deep in his mind, and Yang Qi's face showed a smile that only he could feel.

"Over ten years! Every day is a step closer to death, every day is a struggle, never a moment of relaxation, never a moment of giving up. I want to live, I must live!"

Yang Qi's voice was light but firm. He encouraged himself every day, never giving up on the desire for freedom and life!

"Fool, stop right there!"

After running for half an hour, a few students appeared beside Yang Qi, their behavior arrogant, known troublemakers in the school, trying to stop Yang Qi. One of them even kicked directly at Yang Qi.

"Huh?"

Yang Qi's speed increased slightly, and he dodged. The person who thought he would definitely hit lost his balance and fell flat on his face.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, the few students in front of Yang Qi pounced, their movements not very agile but still blocking Yang Qi. One of them jumped up and kicked Yang Qi, cursing, "Fool, I don't care if you're really foolish or not, I'm going to beat you up today."

"Why talk so much to a fool, just finish it quickly. Damn, hurry up, if someone sees us bullying a fool, we'll be laughed at."

They looked fierce but missed again.

The remaining few didn't waste words and directly attacked Yang Qi, hitting and kicking him, cursing and showing disgust while doing so.

"Just a few hits, too many will bring bad luck. Damn, I don't know what that guy is thinking, even beating a fool, no humanity!"

"Stop talking, who cares who we beat!"

"Damn, this fool's bones are really hard."

One of the most muscular guys kicked directly at Yang Qi's stomach, but Yang Qi caught his foot, and no matter how he tried to kick, he couldn't move. He couldn't believe his own strength. Letting go, he stumbled, and if not for someone behind him, he would have fallen. Another punch hit Yang Qi's body, and the person immediately felt as if he had hit a steel plate, his fist turning red.

The pain in his mind made Yang Qi's reactions much slower, but all the punches aimed at his neck and above were slapped away by Yang Qi. The strength of Yang Qi's slaps made the attackers feel pain in their hands, but they didn't shout or stop due to their pride.

While the group was beating Yang Qi, they were also drawing cold breaths, almost screaming. They saw that the fool stood straight like a pillar, showing no reaction, and even seemed to enjoy it, making the troublemakers' hearts race.

At this moment, there were still a few people on the playground, but who would stop these school bullies?

"What are you doing!"

At this moment, a clear voice sounded, and a girl ran over.

"If you don't stop, I'll tell the teacher!"

"Damn, which woman dares to interfere with my business."

The few hooligans turned to look, all shrinking their heads awkwardly. In the school, there were two types of women that hooligan students couldn't provoke: one was the student council members who were close to the teachers, and the other was beautiful girls with many admirers. The girl who ran over was a combination of both, the vice president of the student council and the Ruiyun school beauty.

"Let's go, bad luck!"

The hooligans immediately stopped and quickly left, with a few of them walking awkwardly.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Xiaoxiao stood in front of Yang Qi, asking with concern.

Wearing a white dress, with a well-proportioned figure, delicate features, and a beautiful face, the most special thing was her warm smile, which brought out the dimples at the corners of her mouth, making her look even more charming.

Yang Qi, who had always had no expression on his face, smiled, shook his head, and walked out straight.

Chen Xiaoxiao thought Yang Qi was going to chase the hooligans and fight, so she immediately reached out to pull him. Touching his arm, she couldn't help but pull back, it was so cold!

It was already warm spring, but when Chen Xiaoxiao touched Yang Qi's arm, a chill came over her, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her spine tightening, and her whole body shivering.

"You, why are you so cold? Are you okay?" Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with doubt and more concern.

"No, I'm fine. Thank you."

Yang Qi waved his hand, chuckled, and didn't care about the shoe prints and dirt on his clothes.

"I don't fight."

Yang Qi said another sentence and walked away.

Chen Xiaoxiao stood there, staring at Yang Qi's back, slightly lost in thought. For his body temperature and for his thoughts.

At this moment, a person walked towards Chen Xiaoxiao, named Xiao Yunlong, the captain of the school track and field team. Chen Xiaoxiao came to the playground at his invitation to discuss some matters between the student council and the track and field team. Of course, Chen Xiaoxiao also knew that Xiao Yunlong had always been her admirer, and this time he was mostly using the opportunity to get closer to her.

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and walked over, thinking in her heart that she wanted to use Xiao Yunlong to find out why those troublemakers were targeting Yang Qi, or if there was another reason behind it. As for why Chen Xiaoxiao was doing this, she told herself it was her duty as the vice president of the student council, not out of curiosity.

Yang Qi brushed off the dirt on his clothes, went to the cafeteria for a meal, and then walked to a corner of the campus forest, swinging his fists in self-torture, and squatted in the corner to read a book.

"That pain is nothing."

Yang Qi muttered to himself, his expression calm. Then suddenly, his expression changed, sweat beads the size of soybeans burst out from his forehead, his brows furrowed, and he was in great pain.

Suddenly, the pain in his head intensified, making his mind fall into endless chaos, as if there were axes constantly chopping at him.

Leaning his head against the wall in the corner, Yang Qi began to hit the wall with his head, the pain in his mind making him lose his ability to think.

"What's happening, suddenly... ah!"

This was definitely the most painful moment for Yang Qi so far. The endurance and habit he had built up over the past ten years collapsed in an instant, and he let out a low roar.

The pain was so intense that he almost fainted.

At this moment, Yang Qi's mind suddenly felt hot, as if a flame was burning, spreading heat throughout his brain and then his whole body.

Boom!

The flame exploded, making Yang Qi's whole body vibrate, and he fainted completely.

Fainting, Yang Qi's will seemed extremely clear, able to see clearly the strange symbols, strange lines, dry and dull words, and images that appeared in his mind, endless like surging waves, appearing in his mind all at once.

"Ah!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Qi suddenly woke up, just as the evening self-study bell rang, estimating it had been about an hour.

At this moment, Yang Qi had no time to care about the class bell, but was dazed and blank.

The pain in his mind had appeared, but his originally cold body was now warm.

"This!"

Yang Qi was sure this wasn't a dream.

The strange illness that had troubled him for over ten years was finally gone!

Moreover, a strange golden paper appeared in his mind, and the knowledge points from the books he had read, which were previously dry and dull, were now clearly imprinted in his memory, and he could understand and integrate them easily.

The pain was gone, his memory and comprehension seemed to have improved significantly. His body, which had been cold for years, had returned to normal, and the warmth made Yang Qi very comfortable.

"What is this?"

Yang Qi "looked" at the golden paper that seemed to be substantial in his mind. With just one glance, a series of information about the golden paper flooded his mind.

This golden paper was called the "Super Ability List," coming from a planet called **69, located trillions of light-years away from Earth. Due to the explosion of the planet, it flew into space and, seventeen years ago, landed in the mind of the newborn Yang Qi, lying dormant for seventeen years until it finally merged with Yang Qi's blood, awakening.

The "Super Ability List" was the highest wisdom of the **69 planet, containing seven categories of over a hundred super abilities.

Because Yang Qi had endured the brain pressure caused by the "Super Ability List" for seventeen years, his mental strength was abnormally strong, and the list directly rewarded him with the activation of the "Psychokinesis" category of super abilities. Because Yang Qi had been self-torturing to combat the coldness of his body for seventeen years, his physical recovery ability was abnormally strong, and the list directly rewarded him with the activation of the "Body Secrets" category of super abilities.

After receiving this information, Yang Qi's mind was a mess, feeling somewhat inexplicable, but the golden paper in his mind was extremely real, and he couldn't help but be attracted to it, so he carefully looked at the content of the golden paper.

On this simple-looking golden paper, many strange words appeared, but Yang Qi could understand them at a glance, automatically translating them into Chinese.

The golden paper showed seven areas, the so-called seven categories, each occupying a range from left to right: "Body Secrets," "Sensory Enhancement," "Psychokinesis," "Mind Control," "Space Control," "Time Control," and "Unknown Energy."

The "Body Secrets" and "Psychokinesis" categories were in bright letters, with "Lv.1" and a progress bar similar to an experience bar, indicating they had already been activated. The other five categories were in dark letters, indicating they were not yet activated. Yang Qi looked again and saw that these major categories required certain conditions to activate.

Yang Qi carefully read through and had a general understanding.

The higher the level of each super ability category, the more functions and effects it would have. For example, "Body Secrets" at Lv.1 only had the effect of "Muscle Enhancement," but at higher levels, it would have "Bloodline Enhancement," "Organ Enhancement," "Body Extension," "Invisibility," "Cloning," and other effects. At the same time, the original effects would also become stronger as the level increased.

The "Psychokinesis" super ability was similar, mostly related to mental and spiritual effects, such as "Photographic Memory," "Hypnosis," "Emotional Control," "Dream Construction," and so on.

The effects of the other five super abilities were even more mind-blowing, such as "Instant Teleportation," "Mind Control," "Time Stop," "X-ray Vision," "Gravity Control," "Electromagnetic Storm," and so on.

All of this seemed like a dream, but the substantial golden paper in his mind remained, making Yang Qi feel it was so real.

"Didn't two categories of super abilities activate? Let's try it out!"

Yang Qi clenched his teeth and decided to act. PS: New book uploaded, please follow, thank you.
