Matthew Atkinson
Oxford
Matthew's parents didn't stay long.
After giving him the supernatural skill, the Fist Impact, they left.
Matthew tried to get them to stay for lunch, but they refused. It seemed they had asked for temporary leave and were in a hurry to return.
After sending his parents to the train station, Matthew did not return to his apartment. Instead, he took a taxi and headed to the sparsely populated suburbs.
Sitting in the car, he thought about it, and his attribute panel popped up in his left eye.
.........
Race: Human
Constitution: 310
Mental: 101
Strength: 310
Agility: 310
Ability: Kryptonian Bloodline
Skills: Fist Impact (New)
Attribute Points: 350
.........
On his attribute panel, there was obviously an extra line: Skills
Looking at the "Fist Impact" in the skill section, Matthew's face showed anticipation.
A few dozen minutes later, the self-driving taxi stopped at the foot of a mountain.
This was Matthew's destination!
He happily paid the fare and, before getting off, instructed the taxi to wait for him for 20 minutes.
This was another function of self-driving taxis. They could wait at the same location for up to half an hour, which was very user-friendly and convenient for users to use the car again.
Of course, this was definitely not possible in congested urban areas.
A moment later, Matthew came to a forest not far from the mountain.
This area was sparsely populated, and no one should come here.
Matthew didn't waste any time. He spotted a large tree and was about to take action.
That's right! He came here to test his supernatural skill. "Fist Impact".
Matthew took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and then punched out!
-Bang!
The air exploded!
The moment Matthew threw a punch, an intense hurricane visible to the naked eye formed on his fist, rushing towards everything in front of him like an air cannon.
-Bang, bang!
The flowers and plants along the way were instantly crushed into pieces, leaving a mess, and eventually, a spacious "passage" was formed.
It looked like a meteorite had hit it.
A large tree farther away made a cracking sound, and a large crack instantly appeared in the middle of the trunk!
As for the surface bark, it was mostly broken and shattered.
From a distance, it looked like a group of wild boars had been desperately hitting there.
The impact of the punch generated by Matthew finally stopped completely and disappeared.
Seeing the destructive effect of this punch, even though the tree was not broken, Matthew still showed a satisfied smile.
Because the position where he stood was more than ten meters away from the large tree!
A fist wind that could crack a tree trunk from such a distance would be beneficial in fighting.
Seeing the power of "Fist Impact" was so strong, Matthew even had the urge to add all 350 attribute points to the strength attribute!
But he was a sensible man and didn't do something so stupid.
Now he was sunbathing every day to grow powerful. And that was entirely sufficient to increase his attributes.
There was no need to use attribute points to improve them!
In addition to increasing attributes, attribute points could also improve some skills that had the potential to grow.
It could be said that attribute points were very useful to keep.
Also, if Matthew really encounters trouble in the supernatural realm, he could use attribute points to increase his attributes and achieve a counterattack instantly!
Matthew was not like other students. Their attributes grew slowly through training, and they could only become stronger with the attribute points provided by the supernatural realm.
On the other hand, he could become stronger… just by lying down.
After leaving the woods, Matthew got into the car contentedly and returned to the city.
…
In the afternoon, Matthew, who had just finished lunch, was preparing to take a nap.
But Professor Holland suddenly called him and asked him to go to the vice-principal's office.
Hearing this, Matthew guessed that Natalie's objection about his class placement must have paid off.
When he arrived on campus, he saw a notice posted by the university.
[Recently, our university received reports from the public regarding Director Conor Wallace of the Academic Affairs Office. Upon investigation, the reports were confirmed to be true. During his tenure as Director of the Academic Affairs Office, Conor Wallace engaged in numerous violations and shady dealings.]
[After discussion at the Principal's Office, it has been decided to suspend Conor Wallace.]
Nice move. They actually suspended him directly.
Although the announcement did not explicitly state it, Matthew knew that the person who transferred him to Class B must be Director Conor Wallace!
Natalie was so awesome!
He didn't know what the girl said that led the school to make such a decision!
However, by doing this, Natalie must have offended many people.
It would be fine if everything went smoothly for the girl, but if she doesn't perform well in the next supernatural realm layer, everyone she offended will definitely jump out and step on her.
To prevent this, Matthew has made up his mind that he must lead Natalie to continue to break historical records!
After all, the girl did this to help him.
…
When Matthew came to the vice principal's office, the vice principal received him warmly.
He showed concern for him in various ways!
Although Matthew knew that all this was because of Natalie's face, he still felt uncomfortable.
Finally, the vice principal asked Matthew if he was willing to go to Class A.
But Matthew refused.
He felt that it was good for him to stay in Class B. Anyway, it won't affect his teaming up with Natalie.
But he followed Professor Holland's suggestion and requested that his student card be regularly loaded with the same amount of college credit as a Class A student.
As Natalie had said, he wasn't about to let them mistreat him.
After this incident, Matthew returned to his old life.
Every day was about eating, attending classes, and sunbathing.
Compared to those classmates who were exhausted from training every day, his life was so much more comfortable.
Professor Holland also knew that Matthew's attributes would not improve through training, so he didn't say much. He just taught him some fighting skills occasionally and left everything else to his own devices.
This was why Matthew liked to be in Class B!
On the internet, the new record he and Natalie set in the first layer of the supernatural realm has become less popular over time.
And after half a month, no more netizens were discussing it.
…
Today was June 21st.
Twenty days have passed since the first layer of the supernatural realm.
In the early morning, the first thing Matthew did when he woke up from the sunbathing device was to check his attribute panel.
.........
Race: Human
Constitution: 500 (↑190)
Mental: 158 (↑57)
Strength: 500 (↑190)
Agility: 500 (↑190)
Ability: Kryptonian Bloodline
Skills: Fist Impact
Attribute Points: 350
.........
This was his current attribute panel.
The three attributes of constitution, strength, and agility have all reached 500!
According to the panel calculation, his current strength was 50 times that of a normal adult.
Matthew smiled with satisfaction. But just then, a new prompt suddenly appeared in his left eye.
[Constitution attribute reached 500, Kryptonian Bloodline's innate skill successfully activated: Steel Body]
[Steel Body: One of the innate skills of the Kryptonian Bloodline. Once activated, one possesses a body as strong as steel, invulnerable to weapons and swords. This skill greatly improves defensive capabilities.]
[Tip: "Steel Body" is affected by your constitution attribute. It currently triples your basic defense. As your constitution attribute increases, the Steel Body's effect will become greater and greater.]
Seeing this prompt, Matthew's eyes suddenly lit up.
