Chapter 15

What kind of introduction is this? Brian Carter smiled a bit helplessly. Compared to Yin Zhaluota, even someone as eloquent as John Harris would find it difficult to introduce himself.

Of course, being someone that Yin Zhaluota takes the initiative to befriend is truly something that anyone at Jianzhong would be proud of.

"Hello..." Even when facing a super genius like Yin Zhaluota, Emily Bennett only nodded in greeting, but this time she generously extended her jade-like hand.

John Harris's smiling expression froze slightly. He looked at Emily Bennett in disbelief, and finally glanced at Brian Carter as if he were looking at a monster.

Having grown up together, John Harris knew Emily Bennett all too well. Although she wasn't arrogant, her standards were extremely high—after all, her family background was there. Taking the initiative to shake hands was something that almost never happened with her. What was going on today? Facing the super genius Yin Zhaluota, she only nodded, but with Brian Carter...

John Harris admitted that Brian Carter was indeed different. As a friend, he understood Brian Carter's living environment even better. When Brian Carter wasn't around, John Harris had once told Yin Zhaluota that if the three of them had exactly the same circumstances, then in martial arts, Brian Carter would be no less than the other two!

But even so, it shouldn't have prompted Emily Bennett to shake hands! John Harris quickly sized up Emily Bennett. Could it be that this girl had discovered something else? Sometimes, a woman's sixth sense is even more accurate than scientific instruments.

"Me too." Brian Carter's words were no more than Yin Zhaluota's. After a polite handshake, he suddenly noticed that the other party didn't seem to want to let go right away.

A flash of surprise and confusion crossed Emily Bennett's beautiful eyes. The reason she stopped the car to greet them wasn't entirely because she ran into John Harris; another reason was this seemingly unremarkable Brian Carter in front of her.

Coming from a martial arts family, Emily Bennett had an extraordinary sense when it came to martial prowess. When she saw Brian Carter's back, she felt something incredible—this person was clearly standing there, yet it was so easy to overlook him.

It wasn't that he lacked presence, but rather that his aura subtly blended with the surrounding environment! This was something only martial arts experts who had reached a certain level could achieve!

To have cultivated one's strength to such a sharp and imposing level at such a young age was already genius—or rather, a genius among geniuses! To blend with the environment? That was already stepping into the threshold of a master! How could a high school student possibly do that?

Realm is a kind of realization! It can't be expressed in words, only felt with the body! This was something Emily Bennett's grandfather, one of the world's top experts, had once said!

After a brief conversation and close observation, Emily Bennett was quite surprised. There really was something unusual about this Brian Carter, which was why she took the initiative to shake hands and test him.

Brian Carter added a bit of strength to his wrist, withdrew his hand with an unchanged expression, and Emily Bennett immediately felt a bit embarrassed, quickly letting go of Brian Carter's hand. Her eyes were full of doubt—two-star! That instant burst of energy revealed that this Brian Carter only had two-star strength! With such strength, how could he have that kind of aura?

Emily Bennett was so deep in thought that she completely forgot to apologize to Brian Carter. Without the other person's consent, this kind of probing with internal energy was extremely impolite.

A flash of dissatisfaction passed through Yin Zhaluota's eyes, while John Harris looked at Brian Carter with a few traces of apology in his eyes. Usually, only the two parties involved would know about such a test, but these two bystanders were geniuses among geniuses—what ordinary people couldn't see, they couldn't hide from their perception.

"Time for class." Brian Carter's expression was as usual, as if he hadn't just been tested, and he walked toward the teaching building.

Yin Zhaluota once again glared at Emily Bennett in dissatisfaction, then silently walked toward the teaching building as well.

Chapter 10: Men Have Their Pride

Lost in thought, Emily Bennett felt a chill of dissatisfaction, shivered, and snapped out of her reverie. She looked at the departing Yin Zhaluota in surprise, then smiled lightly and said to John Harris walking ahead, "Your friend is quite interesting."

"Is that so? Which one?" John Harris's tone carried a hint of displeasure. If you want to know Brian Carter's strength, just ask directly. This kind of presumptuous probing is a bit much! If Brian Carter hadn't brushed it off so casually, his own situation would have been very awkward.

"Both of them are interesting." Emily Bennett walked alongside John Harris and said, "I was a bit abrupt just now. As an apology, how about I treat your two friends to a meal to make up for it?"

John Harris stopped in his tracks, standing there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief as he looked at Emily Bennett, and after a long while said, "Are you really Jiajia?"

"What?" Emily Bennett was startled by John Harris.

"The Emily Bennett I remember is someone who never cared about others' feelings and never admitted fault." John Harris said seriously, "Just now, you ignored my feelings and took the initiative to test Brian Carter's strength—that's just like you. But admitting fault? Are you a fake Jiajia?"

Two veins popped up on Emily Bennett's beautiful forehead. Even if everything he said was true, saying it so bluntly still made her a bit annoyed.
