To distinguish strength more intuitively, the authorities have divided the extraordinary levels into nine tiers. Initially, these are categorized into three major types: physical, energy, and a blend of both.
Tier One, Preliminary Transcendent
The foundational arm strength of a physical-type transcendent is two hundred kilograms, with a constitution four times that of an ordinary person, peaking at five hundred kilograms, surpassing mortals.
The energy-type constitution is much weaker, not much stronger than a normal person, but it contains powerful energy, with energy values ranging between 10-50.
Tier Two, Strength Reaches Ten Thousand Pounds
The foundational arm strength of a physical-type is seven hundred kilograms, with a fundamental constitution of 14 points, peaking at one thousand two hundred kilograms, capable of unleashing a force of ten thousand pounds with one punch, increasingly inhuman.
The energy-type energy value base ranges from 80-300 points, with substantial energy attached below the skin, which can locally enhance defense and block ordinary bullets.
At this stage, the extraordinary characteristics of the evolvers become more apparent.
Tier Three, Transcendent and Extraordinary
The energy value of energy-type transcendents skyrockets to 400-1000, with substantial energy covering the entire body surface, disregarding ordinary small firearms.
The foundational arm strength of the physical-type is one thousand five hundred kilograms, with a constitution thirty times that of an ordinary person, peaking at five thousand kilograms, with vigorous blood energy beginning to condense from illusion to reality.
At this stage, transcendents' bodies begin to undergo metamorphosis, evolving transcendentally towards a higher level of life.
Tier Four, Life Leap... Is that all?
Jiang Hou swiped on the watch's screen, but there was no more content below the document; when said to be fundamental, it's truly just basic information.
After reading about the level divisions, Jiang Hou pondered slightly.
He didn't expect the authorities to categorize transcendents' levels so simply, directly distinguishing them from one to nine without various grandiose realm corresponding terms.
Just then, a beeping sound suddenly rang out beside him, followed by Zong Zheng Nan Mo reading aloud.
"Energy value 48, physical strength 1.2, attribute wind, with an evident power route trace inside, preliminarily determined as the Divine Era inheritance system, comprehensive level late-tier one."
"What's going on, I can't even fight, yet I've reached late-tier one, isn't that a bit too far-fetched?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was somewhat bewildered.
Jiang Hou slowly spoke: "This thing checks based on energy fluctuations, physical strength, and the representing ability's power route trace, so it's quite accurate."
"But it's also inaccurate because it's just data, ignoring the most crucial element—the person."
"For instance, you, Zong Zheng, have no combat experience, barely awakened your ability and are unfamiliar with it. Perhaps an early-tier one speed-type strong person could kill you."
The early standard for tier one physical-type is two hundred kilograms of arm strength, equivalent to the constitution of a common person four times added with speed talent bestowed, an instant burst of a punch can even exceed a thousand kilograms.
In such a scenario, Zong Zheng Nan Mo, with no combat experience and slow reflexes, would most likely be insta-killed.
This is why Jiang Hou said the watch's detected values are accurate but also not, as fighting strength is fighting strength, and level is level.
Understanding his implication, Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded and then curiously asked: "Jiang Hou, you haven't tested yet, right? Quick, see how much yours is?"
"Me, it shouldn't be high."
But despite saying so, Jiang Hou was somewhat expectant too, pressing the button on the left side of the watch, immediately a wave of light emitted from the watch scanning his whole body.
As the beeping sound ensued, the watch's screen displayed Jiang Hou's data.
'Physical strength 5.3, no power route trace in the body, insufficient information to determine era inheritance, comprehensive level mid-tier one.'
"Mid-tier one?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was a little surprised; he had thought Jiang Hou was about the same as him.
Indeed, this detection cannot trace the existence of his giant beast form. Jiang Hou pondered.
He can transform into a giant beast, not relying on any talent or skill, but because, under the life transformation ceremony, he himself has become a giant beast.
So he didn't lie to Jiang Ruochan before; in human form, he truly has no talent or ability.
As for the roar of the furious giant beast, weren't they discussing human matters? What's it to do with giant beasts.
Seeing the silent Jiang Hou, Zong Zheng Nan Mo hesitated, thinking he might be upset: "Jiang Hou, do you want to test it again, perhaps it was a device malfunction that showed such a low result."
"No need, a bit high or low doesn't matter. We're just students, not warriors going to the battlefield." Jiang Hou wasn't very concerned.
This sort of paper data isn't very meaningful, and moreover, his real strength is not just that.
Although his human form power attribute is only sixty points, he roughly estimates that upon transforming into a giant beast, his actual strength definitely reaches tier three, and it's the mid-to-late tier three type, merely weaker compared to the giant ape form in aspects like agility and defense.
The classroom then fell into silence again.
The two continued to examine other documents stored within the watch.
Not only Jiang Hou, but Zong Zheng Nan Mo was also curious about these, after all, over the past decade or so, they hadn't encountered any information regarding supernatural power.
......
Afternoon, five thirty
This time was rush hour, with congested vehicles in the middle of the road, and an overflow of electric bikes and motorcycles on the side roads, bustling with prosperity.
Under the shade of pedestrian path trees, Jiang Hou walked leisurely, carrying a backpack.
The earlier news about someone named Zhang being shot by law enforcement made him extremely cautious, planning to wait until he was stronger to cautiously explore information regarding the extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, he exposed his identity at school today.
Nevertheless, though his identity was exposed, the outcome was favorable, he got a free energy tester and learned a lot of information he wanted to know.
For example, the origins of the extraordinary in this world.
Over thirty years earlier, there wasn't a trace of the extraordinary in this world; it was merely a modern civilization following the technological path.
But with the advent of the first channel connecting the forward and reverse universe and linking the ruins of civilization in the Dongqin Kingdom, the extraordinary emerged, and humanity embarked on the evolution path towards deification.
The reverse universe is the official name for the 'world' on the other side of the channel.
The civilization ruins refer to the ancient civilization sites on the other side, which perished unknown tens of thousands of years ago, with only vestiges and some power inheritance remaining.
Through decades of excavation, currently, eight known ancient eras have perished according to the authorities.
The most complete inheritance, closely resembling modernity, hails from the eighth era, The Divine Era, which is the mainstream power awakening system for most current transcendents.
The Immortal Demon Era is the oldest and most mysterious, with no related data excavated yet, let alone anyone acquiring power inheritance from it.
Regrettably, the smart watch only contains this brief data without more information. After reading, it only left Jiang Hou more puzzled.
For instance, how strong are transcendents above tier four?
Tier three transcendents can disregard ordinary firearms, but what about tier four transcendents whose life undergone a qualitative leap? Can they ignore rocket grenades and tank shells?
If they truly were that powerful, wouldn't tier six or tier seven be capable of fending off missiles?
Moreover, what other eras exist, how strong is the inheritance, what are its characteristics, etc., all of which made Jiang Hou eager to learn more.
In addition, is there any solution to the suppression of supernatural power in the real world?
Nearly six o'clock, Jiang Hou returned home and, upon entering the living room, saw Qin Siyu lying on the couch chatting, her legs swaying leisurely.
"Jiang Hou, back already, why so late today?"
"Some things at school, got held up," Jiang Hou replied, "... Siyu, your bottom is showing."
Bottom?
The young girl looked behind confused, then wrinkled her nose: "No it's not, I'm clearly wearing pants."
"What I meant is your skirt's flipped up."
Although Qin Siyu wore pantyhose, it didn't make much difference from yoga pants, if the skirt doesn't cover, the shape of the bottom is evident at a glance.
"Eww~ Jiang Hou, you've turned bad, staring at people's butts," The girl nonchalantly said, "It doesn't matter, it's not like you haven't seen it before."
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever see your butt?" Jiang Hou was speechless.
Though they grew up together, Jiang Hou had always been mindful of gender differences, even when bathing as kids they did so separately, though it wasted water.
Shifting her head back, the girl said confusedly, "Didn't you see it when we went to soak in hot springs last winter holiday?"
"You were wearing swimwear then," Jiang Hou corrected.
"Does it make a difference?"
"Of course, wearing or not makes a difference, and refrain from saying ambiguous things or else Uncle might think something happened between you and me."
"What's to fear, anyway, Dad always tells me…"
Stopping midway, her face suddenly turned red: "Oh, it's six o'clock, Jiang Hou, you collect the clothes, I'll make dinner."
