Deng Zhijue watched Zhou Leng's broad back disappear through the doorway, lost in thought.

He astutely noticed that Zhou Leng, who had acquired the Giant Body, felt different from before.

He walked more steadily, his posture was taller, and he spoke more assertively.

Previously, he rarely requested anything, applying for permissions from the Martial Guard Department was quite a sensitive matter.

The fact that he applied indicates he wants to accomplish something.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Deng Zhijue even felt that Zhou Leng had grown mentally and psychologically.

Then, Deng Zhijue suddenly chuckled, understanding the reason.

Anyone who acquired the Giant Body would inevitably become more confident.

It's an extraordinary physique, and anyone witnessing such primal strength would naturally feel Zhou Leng becoming distinct.

As Zhou Leng left the office, he walked along, recalling Tian Wenhua and Chang Luan.

Slowly, he reminisced about the journey so far.

"The Headless God is important, but it seems I'll have to wait until after I achieve the Innate stage..."

"The Undying Star Body is key in competing with the first echelon..."

"I'll continue adapting to the Giant Body these days, prepare Promotion Supplement Pills, and after advancing to the Vitality Stage, purchase more Star Conches to prepare for the Undying Star Body..."

This journey to the Giant World revealed a larger world.

The power of the Cosmic Tsunami, the legendary experiences of the King of Armor, the mural of the Twelve-winged Divine Spirit descending, the Sky Sea Ship made from starry sky battleship wreckage, the mystical blessings before the Ancestral Mausoleum, and the new power of the Giant Body, all seemed to propel Zhou Leng.

Do the Giants of the galaxy really have Giant Divine Spirits?

Can humans truly harness the power of the Cosmic Tsunami?

Is there a possibility of returning to the tomb of the King of Armor?

What lies beyond the stars?

On the way back from the Giant World, Zhou Leng constantly pondered various questions.

Arriving at the class Martial Arts Dojo, Zhou Leng pushed the door open and entered.

The classmates took a closer look, and the entire class exploded.

Zhou Leng not only grew taller but his whole body also shone with a brighter metallic sheen.

Despite wearing camouflage, his bulging muscles stretched his clothes, revealing a perfectly tall physique.

Even his aura had undergone a significant change, like a little giant emerging from the wilderness, startlingly imposing.

A group of students, yet untouched by the harshness of society, with clear-eyed gazes, were initially dumbstruck before crowding forward.

Regardless of gender, their eyes gleamed as they reached out to touch.

Wei Hong shouted, "Let's stay civilized, folks! I'm the class monitor, I'll touch first!"

The crowd buzzed with conversation.

"At least two meters twenty, how many giants did you consume?"

"Do you possess the Giant Bloodline?"

"I'm so envious of your physique..."

"What ferocious words! Can't silence you even by touching?"

"So fierce! Can you punch out someone at the early Vitality Stage with that body?"

"Quick, test your strength! Go to the weightlifting platform!"

"Let us see!"

The whole class was impatient, more anxious than Zhou Leng himself.

With classmates crowding around him, Zhou Leng walked to the weightlifting platform.

"Go all the way to True Qi weightlifting!"

"We want to see the strongest you!"

"Yeah!"

The crowd shouted enthusiastically.

Zhou Leng said, "I want to try True Qi weightlifting too."

With that, he removed his outerwear, revealing a body like cast iron, standing under the demonized steel plate, lifting both hands, taking a deep breath as his entire body's Qi blood circulated.

Feng Wenhao pressed the button.

Buzz...

The demonized weightlifting platform trembled slightly, pressing down the steel plate.

Zhou Leng's entire body seemed aflame, his skin turned slightly red instantly.

The muscles under his skin either gathered into bulges or twisted into ropes, his whole body taut, with power surging out.

Buzz...

The demonized weightlifting platform unexpectedly emitted a second sound for the first time.

The demonized steel plate shook gently but could not press down.

The sides were locked in a stalemate.

Suddenly, the demonized weightlifting platform made a few crisp sounds of cracking, followed by the sound of screws flying, with white smoke emanating.

Boom...

A muffled sound as the top of the platform exploded, parts flew wildly, and the whole demonized steel plate soared into the air.

Some students backed away repeatedly in fright, while Zhou Leng hurriedly dashed out.

Zhou Leng turned back to look; the top of the weightlifting platform looked like a firecracker exploded, curling up, as if a giant dragon took a bite.

The display of the demonized platform was completely dark.

On the ground, the demonized steel plate was slightly bent, leaving a shallow handprint.

The demonized weightlifting platform had burst.

Wei Hong asked, "What was the upper limit of our demonized weightlifting platform?"

"Twenty tons, I checked the plate at the back."

"To break it would require at least thirty tons of force."

"Last time, what was Zhou Leng's True Qi weightlifting force?"

"No True Qi weightlifting was over four tons, True Qi weightlifting was twelve tons."

"Thirty tons, that's the upper limit of Vitality Stage, and Zhou Leng is only at the Body Refining Stage..."

"Could it be the legendary Giant Body..."

The entire class fell silent; the Giant Body was like a myth to martial artists.

Zhou Leng neither admitted nor denied it.

He took out the Demonized Watch, snapped a picture, and sent it to Deng Zhijue, then called him.

"Instructor Deng, the Demonized Weightlifting Platform in our class is outdated and broken."

"Was it you?" Deng Zhijue asked as he carefully examined the photo Zhou Leng sent.

"The Demonized Weightlifting Platform is too old."

"Stop the nonsense, it was replaced last year; it's as new as can be."

"Then it must be a malfunction."

"Starting today, you are not allowed to use any equipment in the class Martial Arts Dojo for training. Go to the High-level Martial Arts Hall or the Teacher Martial Arts Hall!"

"Alright."

"That's all, I'll get someone to repair it. Take it easy..."

Zhou Leng ended the call.

Wei Hong sighed and said wistfully, "We'll never see Zhou Leng showing off in class again."

"Can you now beat the Vitality Stage?" Feng Wenhao asked the question everyone was concerned about.

"Except for the Late Stage of Vitality, probably, I guess," Zhou Leng looked at his hands.

The True Qi Weightlifting just now wasn't using full strength.

Having a Giant Body doesn't mean instantly having a giant's physique; growth is gradual.

But even so, Late Stage of Body Refining against Middle Period of Vitality is a trivial matter.

As for the Late Stage of Vitality, the gap is huge. Those super-geniuses or ones who have accumulated strength for years in the Late Stage are extremely formidable.

"Zhou Leng, can you tell us about the Giant World?" a girl asked cautiously and expectantly.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then selected some stories to share his experiences of the Giant Trial.

As he spoke, he used the Demonized Watch to play the video he recorded.

When the image of the Avalanche Plateau, grander than Mount Everest, appeared on screen, everyone held their breath, watching silently.

When they saw the brilliant and magnificent starlit sky of the Giant World, the classmates gasped in awe.

Looking at the longing expressions of his classmates, Zhou Leng suddenly realized that his journey had gained more than just the Giant Body.

The majestic mountains, the dazzling night sky, the people he met, all experiences, were part of his harvest.

As he was chatting with classmates, Xu Qingjin called.

Zhou Leng bid farewell to his classmates and headed to the Ruda Cafeteria.

As he passed a corner, Xu Qingjin, dressed in a white hoodie and blue jeans, walked from the right, passing by him.

Zhou Leng was momentarily stunned and turned around to follow Xu Qingjin.

Xu Qingjin was slightly nearsighted.

As Zhou Leng followed her for quite some time, she didn't seem to notice, humming a tune softly and frequently looking ahead.

As they crossed the Moon Arch between the main campus and the Martial Arts Hall campus of Ruda, Xu Qingjin murmured softly, "Why hasn't he come yet? It's been days since we met..."

Zhou Leng coughed lightly.

Xu Qingjin shuddered, hurriedly turned around, and when she saw Zhou Leng, her eyes widened.

"Huh? You?"

The now taller Zhou Leng had a changed appearance due to his increased physique.

"How did you change so much..." Xu Qingjin couldn't help but laugh, stepping forward to closely examine Zhou Leng.

"You've gotten much stronger, your chin is wider, your forehead is wider, did you really get the Giant Body?" Xu Qingjin said with a smile.

Zhou Leng shrugged and said, "Absorbed too much strength and can't digest it immediately. It'll get better after some time, but my height should permanently increase by at least ten centimeters, thanks to the giant's power."

"Yes, yes, you're definitely impressive now! Innate Masters are all tall and sturdy, it's normal." Xu Qingjin nodded repeatedly, her eyes smiling.

"Let's go, let's hit the cafeteria."

"Sure."

Xu Qingjin asked questions along the way, and the two chatted happily.

The cafeteria staff saw the impressive Zhou Leng and gave their best service.

Once Zhou Leng left, they glanced at the "43" meal count and then at the departing backs of the two, falling into silence.

The cafeteria Martial Saint had been promoted to the cafeteria Giant Martial Saint.

As they walked, Xu Qingjin praised, "Eating well is a blessing. Next time you come to my home, I'll have my mom cook more..."

As night fell, one large moon and four smaller moons gently shone on the earth.

The two walked to the Ruda Reading Lake Pavilion, talking about life.

Zhou Leng first discussed the Giant World's matters, sharing photos and videos, with Xu Qingjin watching with delight.

Xu Qingjin talked about her own life, school events, occasionally mentioning recent social news.

Everything was ordinary, completely unlike Zhou Leng's experiences.

But Zhou Leng listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with questions.

Everything was as ordinary as those years in elementary, middle, and high school.

After escorting Xu Qingjin to her dormitory, Zhou Leng left Ruda and headed to Zhang Xinglie's home.

By then, Li Linhan was also there, and together with Zhang Xinglie's aunt, the four of them had dinner.

After dinner, Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie used the excuse of a friendly spar to head downstairs, leaving the two elders at home.

The two had just walked a few steps in the community before hearing shrill screams.

"Zhang Xinglie brother!"

"Wow..."

The kids in the community were ecstatic; a few five or six-year-old children ran over and clung to Zhang Xinglie's legs.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was among them, smiling happily at her idol.

News of Zhang Xinglie's return spread through the community, and the children flooded downstairs, with even some parents standing nearby with amused smiles.

Soon, Zhang Xinglie was surrounded by children of all ages.

Zhou Leng smiled, handing out chocolates and snacks to the kids and secretly slipping a few extra to Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Then he stood beside Zhang Xiaoxiao, listening to Zhang Xinglie's adventurous tales with the kids.

Zhang Xinglie narrated his martial arts experiences vividly, immersing the children, who giggled and gasped in astonishment.

Occasionally, Zhang Xinglie would point towards Zhou Leng, recounting his feats, making the children's eyes light up with admiration.

At such moments, Zhang Xiaoxiao would glance at Zhou Leng, her eyes filled with curiosity and wonder.
