Chapter 31 Qualitative Change, Body of Steel

Time is a cycle. After the long summer vacation, the quarter changes to autumn, which means that students will go back to school again.

The results of the high school entrance examination were announced a week after the summer vacation. Students logged into the school’s official website to find out their results. Although some were happy and some were sad, the stone in their hearts had finally fallen.

Su Lie still doesn't care much about the test results. Under his intentional control, the results will naturally not be bad, but they will not attract everyone's attention.

However, Gao Lan and Su Wen are very concerned about the results this time. Although they have received invitations from many prestigious high schools, the schools will ultimately look at the results of the candidates. If Su Lie performs poorly this time and the results are not satisfactory, those high schools may go back on their word.

Fortunately, Su Lie's final result did not disappoint them. He ranked third in the grade and in the top ten in the province. He could choose any famous high school in the province or outside. Gao Lan did not forget to ask Su Lie about Bai Yuqi's results. After learning that the girl ranked one place higher than her son, Gao Lan was even happier. After all, this was her future daughter-in-law.

After the results came out, it was time to choose the school. This time, Su Lie would still stay in Qingyuan City.

In fact, after knowing the secrets of this world, Su Lie also thought about going to Xuanjing. After all, it is the center of Daxuan, and there are many secrets hidden there. There Su Lie might be able to find more information related to those missing people.

However, as it is an important area in the capital, the surveillance there must be extremely strict. If Su Lie goes there, he will be hindered.

Therefore, Qingyuan City, far away from Xuanjing, is still his first choice. Here he can grow freely, safely pass the third stage and usher in another leap in strength. Therefore, the three years of high school will also be the last three years of Su Lie's dormancy.

After entering high school, the learning content of the first year of high school has not changed much from that of junior high school. There are still morning and evening self-study, and there are still nine courses. Although the students have spent a summer vacation, this way of learning has been engraved in their bones, so they quickly adapted after school started.

Su Lie was among them, savoring this peaceful life. It is worth mentioning that because of Jiancai High School's reputation as a prestigious school, in addition to students from the city, many students from outside the city and even the province also came here. It cannot be said that students from all over the world gathered here, but there are indeed many more students from different regions in the school.

And Su Lie, just as Qin Shuangjin had guessed, became a prominent figure in the school again in just two months.

His appearance and academic performance were both outstanding, and his calm and mature personality far exceeded that of his peers. In the eyes of a group of 15 or 6-year-old girls, these performances were like a halo of enhancement, making them swarm around Su Lie.

This phenomenon was naturally noticed by Bai Yuqi. Although the girl often teased Su Lie for this, she also felt anxious in her heart, so she studied harder.

June, another summer vacation. In Guanyunxuan Community, Su Lie lay on his back on his balcony, the blazing sunlight shone through the convex lens glass cover above his head into a beam of light, shining on Su Lie.

Su Lie narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and a light of joy flashed inside.

"Host: Su Lie
Template: Bronze Superman

Awakening: 30%
Powers: Super strength, super speed, super senses, heat ray, freezing breath, man of steel."

"Is it finally 30%?" Su Lie murmured, and couldn't wait to feel the changes in his iron body.

Since loading the Bronze Superman template, the Iron Body has been Su Lie's most desired ability. After all, only by stacking the thickest armor can one withstand more poisonous attacks. Buzz~
Su Lie's perfect control over his body allowed him to instantly sense the changes in his body of steel. He heard a humming sound similar to that of an engine. If one used a high-frequency camera to observe, one would find that Su Lie, who was standing silently at this moment, was vibrating at an extremely high frequency all over his body. Because the vibration frequency was beyond the observation of the human eye, Su Lie appeared to be unchanged from the outside.

Turning on his super vision, Su Lie looked at his arms. Under his microscopic vision, the cells that made up his flesh and blood tissue were dividing crazily, and every second the cells would divide and proliferate on their original basis.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight. In just a few dozen seconds, each of Su Lie's cells divided dozens of times on the original basis, and the number of his cells also increased hundreds or thousands of times on the original basis.

At this moment, his individual cells, no, Su Lie didn’t know whether the units that made up his body at this moment could still be called cells.

Because cells are composed of cell membrane, cell fluid, cell nucleus and so on, but under Su Lie's microscopic vision, his constituent units no longer have cell fluid. Each unit is a round spherical substance, as if only the cell nucleus is left.

These units were arranged so tightly that even with Su Lie's microscopic vision at its maximum, he could not find any gaps between the units. At the same time, Su Lie's skeleton was also undergoing amazing changes.

Although his bones were originally stronger than those of ordinary people, their internal structure was still a honeycomb structure like that of ordinary people. But now with the awakening of his iron body, hyperplasia began to appear inside his bones.

The honeycomb-like hollow spaces were filled with the growing bone, and his bones were transforming from hollow iron to solid steel.

This bone growth not only filled inwards, but also expanded outwards. The ribs that originally wrapped around the heart and still had gaps were perfectly fused together under this bone growth, making his ribs become a solid piece.

These amazing changes may seem long, but in fact they only took a few tens of seconds in the outside world. In this short period of time, Su Lie's body structure has completely turned into an inhuman state, or in other words, this is the state of a creature going from defect to perfection.

After the changes in his body completely subsided, Su Lie pinched his body curiously. He understood that the changes just now were the inevitable process of forming a body of steel, and the proliferation of cells and bones was increasing his body density.

The hardness of any substance in nature is inevitably related to its density. Steel is harder than copper because its density is greater than copper. Similarly, the same volume of steel is heavier than the same volume of copper.

So although Su Lie's height and body shape had not changed at all, his weight was far greater than what he showed. The most direct manifestation was that the wooden floor under his feet could no longer bear his weight and squeaked, and even left a clear footprint under his feet.

But these did not attract Su Lie's attention. He was curiously pinching his arm. It was not as hard as steel as he had imagined, but was as elastic and tough as before.

Under his microscopic vision, as he slowly squeezed, those closely arranged units were like stretched bowstrings, gradually denting inwards, and there was still no gap between them. Even as he pressed, after these units dented to a certain extent, they were like bowstrings that were fully stretched and released, and a huge rebound force came out, which bounced Su Lie's fingers away.

As he clenched his fist and struck hard, these originally resilient units suddenly became extremely strong, like a solid wall of iron and steel, indestructible.

Such a change instantly made Su Lie think of a substance in his mind - non-Newtonian fluid.

His current body is extremely similar to this substance, except that its toughness and momentary rigidity are billions of times stronger than this substance.

In Su Lie's opinion, this effect is what it means to have a true body of steel!
