Chapter 2: First Life shackle broken I am invincible!
In the morning
Luo Fang woke up and checked the time
Luo Fang: Oh hell no! It's already 8am and the ceremony starts at 9!
Luo Fang was extremely excited bcs it was the first day of high school and he doesn't want to be late
Luo Shenlin: Little Fang slow down there is still more than half an hour you will reach on time eat the breakfast first your sister is already gone!
Luo Fang: Alright Mom
After the breakfast which was the usual break with scrambled eggs and a glass of milk he wore his shoes and rushed to the school
Luo Fang: School starts at 9 and it's 8:35 now gotta hurry!
After some high speed running he finally arrived at the alley when he checked the time it was 8:45
Luo Fang: Phew atleast I am not late now it's only a minute walk from here on out!
After checking his old mobile phone which was similar to the ones found before the outbreak he went to the school
The area was full of lush trees and greenery as far as the eye could see there were various students coming from alleyways the rich came with their family vehicles whilw the poor children walked here
On his way he looked at the huge sign made of Ruby coloured jade having "Spiderlen High school" in bold yellow charectors which was one of the three biggest high schools in his country the first being "Iron Spider Valley" and "Spider Haven High school" being the same
Luo Fang: I wonder why they have such a horrible taste of naming and decorations...
As he was saying that a man in his late 40s stepped on the podium
Sen Ming: Welcome all new students to Spiderlen High! I am your vice principal Sen Ming our principal is a general in the army and is busy in the battlefield so I will conduct today's Ceremonial Session in his absence!
Sen Ming: I believe everyone of you know what kind of place you live in? That's right this is not one of those little schools you would find where just anyone can go this is a place where the strong survive and the weak dies under the feet of the strong what we are fighting is not just monsters but our own kind aswell if you are weak your enemies will trample over you and kill your family infront of you and you can do nothing!
Sen Ming: In this world where strong rules strong are always right if you are pathetic it's none of their concern after graduating you will fight not for your country but for your family aswell so strive hard or stay home!
Sen Ming: With that being said we will begin our ceremony it consists of two rounds the first round is combat where we will assertain your combat abilities and the other is talent students with talents will be focused on more than those with strong combat abilities the stronger the talent the better it is for you
Sen Ming: Let the Combat round begin! For this round we will have children come up on the rings and they will be challenged by others remember no killing or harming your own caddets if such cases happen you would be instantly disqualified!
After hearing this Luo Fang was excited bcs he found a way to asses his own abilities after yesterday
Luo Fang: I had just upgraded the shadow boxing talent to advanced level and learn the swift steps which I learnt after unlocking the first evolution according to the system it is the degraded version of shadow rush and is mainly used as a passive skill
With the confidence Luo Fang was the first to get inside the ring after that some more came
When he looked closely he found out the 3 were children from rich backgrounds the first one was a girl with silver hair she had a pair of sunglasses
The second person was a guy with a sword on his back a ancient Chinese dress and long hair it was like he came out of a webnovel itself
The Third was a girl was brown hair masculine body she wore a sports uniform and had a boxing gloves equipped she looked like a professional boxing champion
Looking at this Luo Fang was speechless
Luo Fang: Is this a high school ceremony in a dangerous world or a dress up contest??
Sen Ming: Alright the contestants are here the first round is Luo Fang was Wu Lin
After the announcement the girl wearing the sunglasses came out
Wu Lin: I am Wu Lin pls enlighten me
Luo Fang: Please!
Sen Ming: Ready! Set! Begin!
Right after the words fell Wu Lin took out two daggers both extremely dark and having a sharp edge
Wu Lin: Are you not going to take out your weapon?
Luo Fang: Nope bcs I have none
Wu Lin: Alright you said so don't cry later if my alloy daggers injured you
Luo Fang: Enough Chit Chat it's time to fight
Luo Fang started off with his new skill "Swift Steps" right after he activated it was like he teleported right behind Wu Lin
Luo Fang: You are out
After the words fell Luo Fang attacked the neck aparature causing Wu Lin to fall down
The match was extremely short and the strength Shown by Luo Fang made everyone speechless including the observing teachers and vice principal
Student 1: Did I see that right?!
Student 2: The wind assasian Wu Lin fell down on the first blow!
Student 3: He really was able to beat the genius from the dark shadow family!
The entire audience was in a uproar meanwhile the second match concluded but the attention was still on Luo Fang
Luo Fang: Vice principal is there anyone left that will battle me?
Sen Ming: Of Course Lin Yan fight Luo Fang
Apon hearing this the boy with the sword shook his head
Lin Yan: Principal i concede defeat he is way too fast for even me to look at forget about landing a bit on him not to say he wasn't even tired after that blow which clearly meant he is faster than me and that was not his trump card at all
Lin Den: Vice Dean I have been a martial artist for many years and I can easily say this kid has practiced Shadow Boxing to Advanced level I am afraid to say there is no one in the present batch and only the 3 top students from the senior batch will be a competition but who knows with the ability he showed defeating them will only be a matter of time
Sen Ming: Sigh I guess you are right tigers and dragons always emerge from a small territory our race has a bright future ahead
Alright since Lin Yan conceded defeat and there is no one else to challenge this young man then I hereby declare that the winner of the combat Practice is Luo Fang!
Sen Ming: Don't start chit chat moq it's time for talent testing the uniqueness of us is not martial arts but the talents we master people with talents are called Psythics and they are always stronger than Superhumans
Sen Ming: Alright line up and begin the talent testing
Luo Fang: Talent? I wonder what rank my mental talent is ...
Everyone went through the test most of them had no talents at all while some were lucky to have the talents like super hearing infrared vision
After a while it was time for the 4 of them who were at last
Professor: Ok Lin Yan!
Lin Yan: Yes!
Professor: Use this to cut your finger and drop your blood on this crystal
Lin Yan: Yes
Lin Yan cut his finger and the drop reacted to form a copperish brown light
Professor: Very good you have the Metal Talent!
After that was Wu Lin
Wu Lin did the same but was unable to get a talent result
Professor: Wu Ling!
Wu Ling: Yes!
It was the boxer girl he saw in the ring
She did the same and the crystal gave out a crimson red light
Professor: Oh My This is a fire talent congratulations this is one of the top talents
Wu Ling: Thank you professor
"Next"
It was Luo Fang's turn
He did the same as the others and the blood reacted to form a whitish light it was almost blinding and had a eye symbol in the middle
Professor: T-This ... THIS IS A MENTAL TALENT A SUPERIOR TALENT!!
Upon listening everyone was in a uproar
Student 1: First he beat Wu Lin in one move and now the best talent?!
Student 2: TOP PERVERTED HW IS WAY TPO PERVERTED
Student 3: Is he the illegitimate son of the lady of luck or something what's up with him being strong are we even in the same world?!
Professor: It's been a hundred years since this talent appeared again kid you have a bright future no less than the sun try your best and make us proud!
Luo Fang: Yes teacher
They both laughed it off
Professor: Alright from today on everyone who awakened talents will be given extra priority and so not use your powers to harm ordinary civilians or you will be taken down on the spot understood?
Everyone: YES!
Sen Ming: Now that we got all of this over with I have completed making and assisting yall into classes
Sen Ming: Line up and take a slip from that box and go to a instructor once your number is called
Everyone: Yes!
With that everyone began to take a number from the box
Luo Fang: My number is 13? Why did I get the most unlucky number?! Well whatever
Lin Den: Number 13!
Luo Fang: Yes!
Lin Deng: Let's see your class is room 1 section B which is on the second floor here is your class schedule classes begin from tomorrow so don't worry about it rn and get accustomed to your classmates
Luo Fang: Yes teacher!
With that he went to the assorted room
Luo Fang: I am here
Wu Lin: Luo Fang you are here!
Luo Fang: Wait why are you guys here where are the others??
Wu Ling: Oh i remember you are not like us so you don't know this... You see the school generally assorts the top 5 into one room but since this year there is no 5th person it's just us this helps the school keep a close eye on us while monitoring our overall progress
Luo Fang: I see...
Lin Yan : Oh yes Luo Fang you awakened a mental talent right?
Luo Fang: Yep!
Lin Yan: then how did you become so fast your talent is not speed type is it?
Luo Fang: Oh I understand what you mean nope it's not my talent but a skill I practiced for a few days it is a evasive type skill but I can also use the speed to attack while my opponent is not ready
Wu Lin: And what about the other move you used it is much stronger than my sister!
Luo Fang: It's Shadow Boxing
Wu Ling: Impossible! How does such a low level skill get that strong
Luo Fang: If you practice something diligently it's only a matter of time you get better at using it plus my skill is at advanced level not to say I was extremely close to Wu Lin and this skill has a good lethality rate so its not a problem
Lin Yan: That's outstanding I heard even for a soldier it takes 20yrs just to get the skill to intermediate level and you are at advanced not to say you are 15 just like me !
Luo Fang: Wait you are 15?! I thought you were 25 or smth how the hell did you even grow your hair that much?!
Lin Yan: Uh that I don't know my hair has always been like this since I turned 10...
Wu Lin: I am 13 and my sister is 14 you and Brother Lin are the eldest amongst us!
Luo Fang: Damn btw does anyone have a skill book that matches my talent?
Lin Yan: You can find them in the library we were going there anyways just waiting for you
Luo Fang: Ok let's go!
After that they all went to the library
Lin Yan: Luo Fang I will search for a mental talent book can you help me find one for metal talent?
Luo Fang: Why?
Lin Yan: Well how do I say this... The area where metal talents are placed is full of metals and I just awakened my powers i am afraid I won't be able to control it and cause a lot of DMG and get y'all injured
Luo Fang: I understand alright then
With that said they all went to find a book
Luo Fang: Found it!
He jumped up and took a book with green cover from the shelf and a red one too
Luo Fang: Metal Control and metal condensation this should help him out alot
With that he left the metal chamber and met with the others
Lin Yan: Brother Luo i found this book called Mental Control and Mental Spikes from the shelves mental control let's you increase your mental strength while mental spike is a low level mental skill and does mental DMG to the opponent
Luo Fang: Thank you brother Lin I found these two metal control to help you control the metal elements in air better and metal condensation to let you condense metal in air into various shapes and weapons
Lin Yan: Thank you!
Luo Fang: What about you two?
Wu Lin: I got no talent so I got this book that lets me use daggers to do serious DMG to the opponents
Luo Fang: Nice what about you Wu Ling?
Wu Ling: I believe foundation is the most important so I will focus in controlling my fire talent and increase it as much as possible
Luo Fang: I see!
With that they started learning their respective books
After a few hours,
Luo Fang returned home tired and exhausted
Luo Lin: Bro were you pushing a bus or something?! Why do you look so exhausted?!
Luo Fang: Bcs I awakened a mental talent and was learning it all day ofc it is extremely exhausting
Suddenly he heard a glass break
Luo Fang: Mom! Are you okay?!
Luo Shenlin: You said you awakened a talent?
Luo Fang: Not just that I came first in the ceremony and considered one of the existing elites in my year
Upon hearing this Luo Shenlin got up and started to call everyone and inform them about this news
Luo Fang just smiled ate the food on the table cleaned the broken glass pieces and went to his room

With a thought he upgraded them three at one go
Like a volcano erupted the surrounding air began to vibrate violently pages and books were flung across the room and the whole house was shaking
The commotion was not a lot so his family thought it was just a minor earthquake again
In a empty space he could see thousands of figures practicing his mind and body shook and he got more bulky and looked like a gym instructor with huge muscles bulging out
He later concentrated more and found a little droplet in his mind billions of such droplets started to fall on the empty surface as the droplets kept condensing his body like a black hole began sucking the surrounding energy various books and small materials were floating in his room the droplets gradually stopped condensing as a lake became visible in his mind within this lake was a little avatar which was half human and half spider having spider like legs on its back and a human body the hands and feet were covered in spider scales and blade like projections
After a while he opened his eyes which looked like a spider but they gradually disappeared

"Evolve"
In a dark corner of the alley a 10cm long spider was sleeping when suddenly it was covered with golden light
The fangs became even more bigger and were covered with venom the legs became extremely pointy the body increased from 10-20cm and the eyes became red with a light metallic luster all over it's body
[Congratulations host, Your Iron Fanged Spider evolved into a Poisonous Iron-Fanged Spider]

"Scratch"
[Congratulations host, you won a free evolution for your clone!]
The spider once again began to evolve the tusks became even more pointed like razor sharp pincers filled with poison the legs became even more sharp which could now cut through steel like paper the body increased to 1m and the scales began to transform into a golden colour

The spider began to expand the legs became thinner and sharper now covered with a tiny of gold in the bottom of the legs the pinces became even more sharper and bigger and each time they interact it makes a dull metallic sound the golden colour became even more brighter and deeper with poisonous spikes slowly emerging out of them layers of gold covered the body the body increased from 1m to 2.5m and released a ferocious aura which cut the air surrounding it
Luo Fang: The spider is too strong now the authorities will easily find it gotta move it
But before he could the feedback from both the evolutions and enhancement of all skills so far came to him the air around him began to get pierce the house shook making books fall off he became even more stronger and now he could easily levitate the entire trash can just by looking it the power was so strong that he felt a invisible shackle in his body which gradually broke down and he felt like he was full of strength and vitality the lake turned into a ocean and he felt that even missiles won't be able to kill him at this point
Later he controlled the spider to move it was extremely fast now reached 10km/hr he controlled the spider to move through a small hole in the wall and left it in the wilderness
