“Is it really that serious?

“Could one dog really start such a major fuss?

“Moreover, Dumbo is a good dog. If I tell it to go east, it wouldn’t even dare to look west!”

Since Jiang He still needed Dumbo to guard his yard, he was never going to let some national covert organization take it away. More importantly, the beast was about to achieve transcendence—who would know if it might expose Jiang He’s secrets?

That being said, Jiang He was not surprised that the secret organization had a way to communicate with dogs after awakening superpowers.

“Jiang He, you don’t know how frightening a Feral can be.” Wang Siyu said seriously. “One alone could instantly kill an adult, and without guns and bullets, only martial artist or Awakened could hold their own against them.”

“Dumbo is very dangerous even if he hasn’t evolved into a Feral yet. The bureau has rules, and such cases must be reported to my superiors!”

“Rules are rigid; humans are flexible.” Jiang He retorted.

His mind, however, was still imagining how he should seduce Wang Siyu, and her cheeks flushed once a particular image came to his mind. “However, since you have awakened beast taming abilities, you would be able to control Dumbo,” she seethed through gritted teeth. “But my dad did raise it since it was a puppy after all, and as long as you promise you would keep an eye on it, I won’t report to my superiors.”

Delighted, Jiang He grinned. “Relax. I’ll break its legs if it dares to leave the house!”

Wang Siyu said darkly. “Don’t. You can’t torment Dumbo.”

Jiang He almost couldn’t stop himself from laughing right then. “Alright. Anyway, you’re in my home now. What are you doing standing in the yard? Come. I’ve just cooked some corn, come have some.”

Inside his house, Wang Siyu began to look around, studying it.

Jiang He’s house was rather rundown, but it was very tidy.

She sighed when her eyes eventually fell on Grandpa Jiang’s photo, but even though she opened her mouth, she couldn’t say the words in her mind to console Jiang He.

Meanwhile, Jiang He pulled up a stool to her, saying, “Come, sit. It’s a little shabby in here, sorry for the sight.”

“No, not really!”

Wang Siyu quickly said. “I’m not like that... Jiang He, I believe you! You would definitely become an outstanding person in the future.”

‘Wow!

‘What is with this turn of events?’

Meanwhile, Jiang He handily opened the lid of the pot, and the scent of corn promptly filled the room.

It wasn’t just Wang Siyu. Even Jiang He himself was sniffing as hard as he could—the fragrant corn scent alone was revitalizing.

Taking out his chopsticks and a stainless-steel bowl, he fished out all the corn cutlets.

There was an old round table at the center of the room which had a sheet of plastic laid over it, and it served as Jiang He’s dinner table.

He put the bowl on the table, when he heard a gasp.

“Wow!

“So large!

“So thick!”

Wang Siyu’s eyes were bulging at the sight of the corn in the bowl.

Certainly.

Even after the corn was cut into four pieces, it was obvious from its size compared to the bowl how thick and large it was.

That being said...

So large, so thick...

Those words led Jiang He’s mind astray.

“Blah!”

Wang Siyu flushed in irritation as she scolded him. “You thug! What are you dreaming about?”

“Can’t I have some privacy, Wang Siyu?” Jiang He replied with a serious look. “Anyway, how did you awaken your mind-reading ability? Is there no limit when you use it?”

Wang Siyu gnawed on the corn and said between bites, “I flunked three subjects in my last semester exam. I tried to sleep off my sadness, and then I realized I could see what other people are thinking when I woke up.”

She tilted her head, looking adorable with her stuffed cheeks as she chewed on the corn and mused. “I’m quite a weak psychic when I first awakened. There are also limits to how many times I could mind-read, and if the other person is stronger I wouldn’t be able to use it against them.”

“Also, I might suffer a backlash if I use it against superhumans with the same powers.”

Jiang He picked up another half piece of corn, and he could feel its sweetness that only increased with every bite.

“Psychics? Superhumans?” Jiang He asked then.

“This is a matter of secrecy,” Wang Siyu explained. “It shouldn’t be told to others, but there’s nothing to hide since you have awakened superpowers too.”

“Spirit Qi first returned over ten years ago. Scientists had discovered that there’s a new special energy essence in the atmosphere that they named the Force.”

“Any human, plant, or animal would evolve after they absorb the Force.”

“Very few of them would mutate even as they evolve, thereby awakening certain special powers. These people are known as superhumans, and they usually awakened either psychic powers or superstrength.”

“Awakened with superstrength are more common. Whether they gain boundless power or a steel body in the process, they would either experience a great increase in strength or have a single part of their body mutate, in turn developing some special ability.”

Wang Siyu continued after taking to nibbles off her corn. “Li Fei, who has a breeder’s union in the mountains for example, is a D-class individual who awakened superstrength.”

“Psychics are rarer in comparison, and this category of Awakened possess abilities of mind-reading, telekinesis, or conjuring illusions.”

She then looked at Jiang He before saying, “Your ability belongs to a rarer category of Awakened with a more specialized ability. But in addition to beast tamers, there are also Awakened who could control the elements such as fire, water, and thunder.”

Jiang He, who in turn had been listening attentively waited until she was finished before asking, “Does that mean Awakened have different classes too? Is a D-class superstrength Awakened like Li Fei powerful?”

“He would be powerful to a normal human, but not so much to the stronger Awakened.”

Wang Siyu explained then. “The National Superpower Research has grouped superhumans into six classes: S, A, B, C, D and E, with E being the weakest and D being next. My ability has no offensive capacity, but it is special and is therefore grouped at D.”

“You beast taming power is even more special. You are C-class just by being able to control a feral beast.”

“Of course, it’s not like the classes of Awakened are constant. Their class could improve by training or voluntary evolution.”

Jiang He’s mouth twitched.

What beast taming power?

The reason he could order Dumbo around was only because of his cucumbers.

Nonetheless, Jiang He was only too happy to let Wang Siyu keep her misunderstanding, and deliberately feigned shock.

“I see, my powers are that awesome...” He said. “By the way, didn’t you just mention martial artists? So how are they grouped?”
