Chapter 74: The Awakener (2/2)

Shen Yu turned his gaze toward Lin Yuhui and the others and smiled, “Huihui is here, huh? I suppose Little Cheng must have caused you quite a bit of trouble lately. And who are the rest of you…?”

Noticing Liu Su and others with cat ears, and then looking at Yanyan in his arms, Shen Yu was slightly surprised.

“Hello, Grandpa. I am Liu Su, a C-rank Specialized Agent from the Solmara Institute of Genetic Research, and also Shen Cheng’s colleague,” Liu Su stepped forward. Seeing how close Shen Yu and Yanyan were, she got straight to the point, “Next, let me explain the situation on our side…”

……

“Bro! How many familiars do you have?” Early in the morning, Shen Cheng was bombarded with questions from Shen Die, whose eyes were shining with little stars. Shen Cheng felt a headache coming on, “Those are Demi-Humans, not familiars! And Demi-Humans and humans are equals, not someone’s property.”

“Oh, oh!” Shen Die nodded repeatedly, then asked with confusion, “But… they all call you ‘Master,’ right? If they’re not familiars, then could it be…?”

The next moment, Shen Die’s face showed a mix of disgust and horror, and she quickly hugged herself.

A vein popped on Shen Cheng’s forehead, “Don’t you dare think weird things! Also, you’re going to be late for school, hurry up!”

“Ugh!” Shen Die slung her backpack over her shoulders with an annoyed look, “I know, I know, I’m leaving, you stupid bold individual!”

Without a word, Shen Cheng stuffed two red bills into Shen Die’s hand, “Go, and be careful on your way.”

Shen Die’s face instantly lit up with joy, “Thanks, bold individual! You’re the best, bold individual!”

Shen Cheng: “…”

Last night, everyone stayed at the Shen Family’s house since there were plenty of empty rooms that could be cleaned up for use.

It was said that Shen Wei had been so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night—he had always wanted the Shen Family estate to be filled with his own family members.

Watching Shen Die leave, Shen Cheng stretched and walked toward the family courtyard.

At first glance, Shen Cheng saw Lin Yuhui, along with Cheese, Milk Tea, Sugar, and Yanyan, all practicing morning exercises with Old Master Shen, while Shao Silin and Liu Su watched from the side.

Casually walking over to Liu Su, with Shao Silin standing a bit away, Shen Cheng smiled and asked, “Why aren’t you two joining in?”

“In dealing with all kinds of unexpected situations, firearms and our combat techniques are much more practical than traditional martial arts,” Shao Silin squinted and said, “Your grandfather is just an ordinary person. Learning martial arts from him may benefit us, but only to a limited extent.”

“Limited? Yesterday, when I sparred with Grandfather, he knocked me down in one move.” Shen Cheng’s nonchalant words made Shao Silin’s expression freeze, “You… got knocked down?”

“Yeah,” Shen Cheng nodded, “I unleashed my full strength as an aptitude user, using my speed and power to the max, even enhancing my dynamic vision. But I still couldn’t see how Grandfather made his move before I was downed in one strike.”

“…” Shao Silin stood frozen for a moment before murmuring, “An awakener…”

“An awakener?” This time, it was Shen Cheng’s turn to be puzzled.

“Mm… I haven’t told you about this yet,” Shao Silin cleared her throat and began to explain slowly, “According to the current data from the Bio-Scientific Institute, there are three main types of special humans in the world: aptitude users, supernatural users, and awakeners. There’s no need to say much about aptitude users; they are humans with a physique that allows them to inject Demi-Human Genetic Agents, though their strength has certain limitations. Supernatural users are those born with special abilities, just like what you understand as superpowers, such as fire breathing, flying, mind reading, and so on. However, the strength of supernatural users varies greatly; their potential is either incredibly high or very low. Awakeners, on the other hand, are ordinary people who break through the limits of the human body through intense training. Because of this, most awakeners are older, but they are all very powerful. Our Bio-Scientific Institute even has an awakener, who is one of our institute’s top secret assets!”
