Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The observation room erupted in chaos.

"Peak eighth-tier resilience! That's impossible!"

"Yi is the god in mythology who shot down the suns, and the legacy he left behind is actually a defensive talent!?"

"Wait! We always thought he was resisting attacks through his talent, but the energy testing device didn't detect anything. This is actually his physical strength!!"

"SSS-rank talent... Is this what makes SSS-rank talent so terrifying!?"

Qin Tianheng took a deep breath. As one of the thirteen highest-ranking people in the Federation, he had witnessed countless grand scenes, and there was hardly anything in this world that could shock him.

But at the moment.

He was still deeply shocked by Jiang Chuan's abnormal physique!

Star Crown Academy has never admitted an SSS-level student, but compared to the SS-level talent who is one level lower, it has had at least three digits of such students.

In fact, the most basic requirement in the Dark Star Academy's selection criteria is that students must possess SS-level talent.

Or it could be an extremely rare S-level talent.

For example, Xu Yinyin's S-level mental talent, Mind Perception, allowed her to be admitted to the Dark Star Academy despite not meeting the usual requirements.

Even the strongest SS-level talent can only fight against opponents three ranks higher.

And Jiang Chuan...

That's a difference of seven whole levels!!

The white-haired old man is named Han Sinan. He is a national treasure-level research scholar and also serves as the dean of Xinghai Academy, responsible for the research and development of top-tier medicines.

He was so shocked that he murmured, "Just one level difference, and SSS-level talent is so powerful... How many research achievements have we missed?!"

He felt frustrated, realizing that all the time he had spent researching his SS-level talent was wasted on a pile of crap!

That's right. Compared to Jiang Chuan's SSS-level talent, those so-called SS-level geniuses are nothing but rubbish!

Qin Tianheng hesitated and asked, "Continue the test?"

"continue!"

Han Sinan stared intently at Jiang Chuan: "We must test where his true limits lie!"

After the impact resistance test was completed, Shen Zhiyi gave him a five-minute rest.

then.

Begin the strength test.

The testing device was replaced with another one, a huge black metal wall covered with pressure sensors.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and slammed it against the wall.

boom!!

He used three-tenths of his strength in his first punch.

The numbers on the sensor fluctuated wildly, finally settling on a number that left everyone speechless.

"Seventh Rank... initial seventh rank power output."

Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly. "You weren't using your full strength just now, were you?"

"I only used three-tenths of my strength."

Jiang Chuan answered honestly.

"Attack with all your might! Don't worry about destroying this device; this wall can withstand attacks up to level nine..."

Shen Zhiyi paused.

Because the Federation currently does not have a single officially recognized ninth-tier powerhouse.

She added, "Well, theoretically... even if it's destroyed, you don't have to pay for it!"

Jiang Chuan nodded, took a step back, and stood still.

He squatted slightly, pulled his right arm back, and cracked his knuckles as he clenched his fists.

This time, he mobilized all the power in his body and concentrated it all into his right fist.

Throw a punch.

boom!!

A piercing explosion suddenly erupted from the air!

The fist tore through the air, and a visible shockwave exploded from the fist, slamming hard into the black metal wall.

The sensors on the wall emitted a piercing shriek, and the numbers climbed at an almost frantic pace.

Mid-stage of the seventh rank.

Peak of the seventh rank.

Early stage of the eighth rank.

Mid-stage of the eighth rank.

The numbers paused briefly in the middle of the eighth tier, then jumped again, and finally settled at the peak of the eighth tier!

The observation room fell completely silent.

An expert's hands trembled as he stared at the data on the screen, his lips quivering as he uttered, "Sixteen years old, just awakened, and already possessing strength attributes approaching the ninth rank!"

Han Sinan didn't seem too surprised this time: "Physical ability is a whole thing. If he can withstand the attack of a peak eighth-level expert, his strength can't be that weak."

"However... he still didn't use the power of his innate talent in this punch. Could it be that his talent isn't an offensive talent?"

"Next, we'll test the speed."

All the runes in the training ground lit up, and a 100-meter-long strip of light appeared on the ground. Shen Zhiyi stood at the finish line, holding a timer in her hand.

"Run at full speed from here to the finish line. I need you to unleash your maximum speed."

Jiang Chuan nodded, stood at the starting line, and leaned forward slightly.

Shen Zhiyi pressed the timer.

Whoosh!

boom!

Jiang Chuan's body transformed into a blur, traversing a hundred meters in an instant. Immediately following was a loud bang, and one side of the trial ground collapsed.

"..."

Shen Zhiyi gripped the timer in her hand, falling silent before rushing towards the collapsed area: "Are you alright?!"

"fine……!"

Jiang Chuan awkwardly climbed out of the ruins, still unable to fully control his own power.

He spat out the dust from his mouth, then asked with concern:

"I don't need to pay for this, do I?"

"……Need not."

Shen Zhiyi stared blankly at the ten-meter-diameter crater and shook her head.

This testing ground was cast using a special material.

Combined with formations.

It can even withstand attacks from the ninth level.

To cause such astonishing destruction with just physical strength, perhaps only a freak like Jiang Chuan could accomplish that...

Jiang Chuan was relieved to hear that he wouldn't have to pay compensation, and then asked, "What was my speed?"

Shen Zhiyi glanced down at the numbers on the timer.

Then it was raised.

0.9 seconds.

0.9 seconds in the 100-meter sprint.

The speed wasn't as exaggerated as Jiang Chuan had imagined.

"Eighth-tier...mid-eighth-tier speed."

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath: "Not top-tier, but your explosive power far surpasses that of professionals at this level. If you received professional speed training, that number could increase by at least 30%!"

In the observation room, Han Sinan suddenly stood up.

"Three Rank 8 attributes! At only level 10, his base stats already surpass those of a typical Rank 8 professional!"

His voice trembled: "Do you know what this means? It means his ceiling... his ceiling could very well be more than just rank nine!!"

Another expert quickly added, "There's one last factor: mental strength. Mental strength is the foundation for breaking through to the ninth rank! If his mental strength isn't sufficient, no matter how strong his physical body is, it's all in vain!"

All eyes were drawn to the center of the training field.

The final test:

Mental strength.

Shen Zhiyi led Jiang Chuan to a special room. In the room was a circular rune array with a diameter of three meters. The light of the rune array was deep purple and emitted a dizzying fluctuation.

"Stand in the center of the formation, close your eyes, and relax."

Shen Zhiyi's tone was more serious than ever before, "The mental strength test is the most dangerous of all the tests. If you feel unwell, tell me immediately, and I will stop the test!"

Jiang Chuan walked into the rune array, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

The rune array lit up.

A purple light rose from the ground, enveloping his entire body.

At first, Jiang Chuan's expression was calm, but soon, the light of the rune array began to change, from purple to dark purple, and from dark purple to a dark red that was almost black.

The instrument monitoring mental intensity emitted a sharp alarm.

"Mental strength has broken through to the seventh level!"

"It's still rising!"

"Peak of the seventh rank...Eighth rank!"

The alarm for the early stage of the eighth rank had just sounded when the data skipped the middle stage of the eighth rank and headed straight for the peak of the eighth rank.

Knowing the dangers of mental testing, Qin Tianheng quickly said, "That's enough, stop now!"

"etc!"

Han Sinan suddenly raised his hand, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Chuan: "He hasn't reached his limit yet, continue!"

Qin Tianheng panicked: "Mental tests are prone to errors. Our human race has finally produced such a genius; we can't let our momentary risks ruin him!"

But Han Sinan persisted, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ever-increasing number on the screen, as if watching a once-in-a-millennium miracle unfold.

Even at the peak of the eighth tier, the test results still haven't stopped.

Ninth Rank!!

The alarm turned into a long blast, and all the indicator lights on the instrument lit up simultaneously, then went out at the same time.

It's not a malfunction.

It's because the data has exceeded the instrument's measurement limit!

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

The light from the rune array slowly faded, and his eyes remained clear as if nothing had happened.

"Are you done testing?" he asked.

No one answered him.

In the observation room, Qin Tianheng stared at the completely black screen of the instrument for a long, long time before slowly turning around to look at the experts beside him.

"Can any of you tell me?" His voice trembled for the first time, "What does it mean for a sixteen-year-old child to have a mental strength exceeding the ninth level?"

No one can answer.

Because nobody knows the answer.

Shen Zhiyi stood on the training ground, watching Jiang Chuan stand up from the rune array, and she suddenly remembered what she had just said.

Monsters are rare.

No.

This is not a monster.

The word "monster" is simply insufficient to describe the boy before us.
