Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1162: True Proof (38)

Early morning, January 1, 2013.

Before the sky brightened, Wang Chen crawled out of his warm bed.

After a simple wash, he quietly left Shangma Old Village in the morning light, quickly heading to an unnamed small mountain a few kilometers away.

Wang Chen’s gaze, like that of a hawk, pierced through the morning mist and fell upon the opposing mountain peak.

This mountain was taller and larger, its surface covered with lush vegetation, and below it, nestled in the valley, was a small reservoir, adding to the picturesque scenery.

The adjacent plain area of the reservoir had been cleared for extensive farmland, with hundreds of new rural houses neatly planned and built, but showing no signs of occupancy.

Wang Chen knew this was the newly constructed resettlement housing of Xiama Village. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, thousands of villagers would move into their new homes by the end of the month.

He retracted his gaze and suddenly leaped down from the high rock.

His figure quickly vanished into the dense forest.

About ten minutes later, the dense forest above the reservoir abruptly experienced a violent tremor, with countless birds taking flight in panic, casting a doomsday scene.

Following this was a rumble of loud crashes as large sections of the mountain, carrying countless trees, slid downwards, falling into the reservoir.

The once calm water surface suddenly stirred, as the surging water level quickly overflowed past the dam, inundating the farmland below.

Due to the massive water flow, it swiftly spilled into the adjacent new village resettlement area!

Fortunately, as it was still early and also winter, with the new village resettlement housing unoccupied, this sudden disaster didn’t cause any casualties.

By the time people realized what had happened, Wang Chen had already returned to his home.

Sitting in a recliner in front of his door, he basked in the sun while petting a cat.

No one knew that the landslide near the new Xiama Village was not a natural disaster, but a "man-made" calamity deliberately created by Wang Chen using Spiritual Energy.

However, without his intervention, when the spring rainy season arrived, a torrential downpour would have loosened the soil on the mountainside, causing a massive collapse. The already high water level of the reservoir would have suddenly exceeded its limit, leading to an unexpected flood.

By then, the newly settled Xiama Village would have been populated, with many villagers working in the fields.

The losses would have been devastating and heartbreaking.

Wang Chen had now preemptively detonated this time bomb, minimizing the losses.

Before yesterday, he couldn’t achieve this.

But during last night’s New Year’s Eve, Wang Chen not only fulfilled several past regrets or wishes but also received a pure maiden’s kiss.

His Spiritual Energy suddenly broke through to the mid-stage of the Fourth Ring level.

Thus he possessed the power to shake the mountain!

Although Wang Chen’s achievements wouldn’t be known to others, and he wouldn’t go around proclaiming them, as long as he asked himself with a clear conscience, it was enough.

No matter how strong Wang Chen was, he didn’t have the power to save the whole world and everyone in it.

But knowing who he could save and choosing not to, he would always have regrets, and True Proof would never reach Perfection!

Closing his eyes, Wang Chen immersed himself in the golden morning light.

Joyful and serene.

The three-day New Year holiday quickly passed by, and Wang Chen returned to school again.

Much to Wang Chen’s surprise, while having lunch in the cafeteria, Xie Yunyao suddenly approached him in front of everyone: "Wang Chen."

"Cough cough cough!"

Sitting with Wang Chen, Xiao Xudong had just taken a sip of soup and almost choked to death.

Although Xie Yunyao from Class 5 of the second year transferred to Fifth High School not long ago, she was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure in the school, truly deserving the title of the school beauty.

Everyone also knew that not only was Xie Yunyao exceptionally beautiful, but her family was also affluent, regularly commuting to and from school in a Rolls-Royce with a Shanghai license plate.

Girls like her left the ordinary boys at school feeling inferior, not daring to approach while those from the study abroad class hovered around her like puppies, forming a galaxy around the moon.

Yet, it wasn’t the first time Xie Yunyao had approached Wang Chen.

Many witnessed the incident during the fall sports meet and speculated on the relationship between the school beauty and the top student, some even scripting a teen idol drama in their minds.

But later, the two had no further interactions, and various rumors naturally disappeared.

No one expected Xie Yunyao to seek Wang Chen again today.

Now, if anyone claimed they had no connection, probably nobody would believe it!

Xiao Xudong hurriedly made room, swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty, he muttered vaguely: "You sit down..."

He thought he was really loyal, but Wang Chen felt a bit helpless, standing up to ask: "What’s up?"

Xie Yunyao gracefully replied: "For the second-year competition event at the end of the month, Teacher Chen asked me to discuss it with you. You finish your meal first, and after, we’ll talk in the office on the fifth floor."

So it was about the competition event!

Many people felt relieved.

Wang Chen nodded: "Okay, I’ll head over later."

After Xie Yunyao left, Xiao Xudong sat down again and asked sneakily: "Brother Chen, you and the school beauty..."

Wang Chen glanced at him and replied: "She’s chasing me, didn’t you notice?"

"What?"

Xiao Xudong was thunderstruck, all his fantasies about the school beauty instantly shattered: "Really?"

"Do you really believe that?"

Wang Chen sneered: "Eat your meal properly, focus more on your studies, don’t let your mind wander!"

Wang Chen wouldn’t tell this friend of both his past and present lives that his future life was actually quite smooth, though not extravagant, he would attain a comfortable living.

And he even had two children, becoming a doting father to daughters.

In fact, Xiao Xudong’s life in this lifetime had already changed due to his rebirth.

Wang Chen hoped such changes would be for the better.

Pattering his friend’s shoulder, Wang Chen went to return his tray, then headed to the fifth floor of the teaching building.

Xie Yunyao was standing at the office door, but she didn’t go in. Instead, she led Wang Chen to the balcony above.

"You should just add me on WeChat."

Wang Chen, a bit helpless, took out his phone and said: "I’ll add you now, let’s discuss anything on WeChat from now on."

Xie Yunyao smiled while taking out her own phone.

They exchanged WeChat contacts.

After becoming friends, Xie Yunyao brushed her hair and asked: "Wang Chen, do you remember the basket of tomatoes you gave me last time?"

Wang Chen nodded: "Yeah, what about it?"

"Your tomatoes were really delicious; I’ve never tasted anything like it, truly!"

Xie Yunyao explained: "I had some sent to my mom, and after tasting, she also said they were very good, and asked where they were bought. So I wanted to ask you now."

"If it’s not convenient, it’s okay if you don’t tell me."
