Chapter 19: Qin Chuan is an Esper

Frustrated, Shen Gongbao unleashed an unprecedented, primordial strength; even it hadn't expected to be capable of running so fast. It had just discovered that its innate talent was truly remarkable. However, rabbits aren't so easily caught, or they would have gone extinct long ago. Unfortunately, this particular family of four rabbits had all emerged at once. While the larger ones were swift, the smaller ones were not.

"Faster, go faster!" Qin Chuan urged.

Shen Gongbao burst forward once more, leaping into the air for a bite, but the clever rabbit dodged to the side and escaped.

"Useless! You can't even catch that? What good are you?" Qin Chuan, clearly dissatisfied, leaped off the leopard's back, snatched the rabbit with his own hands, and landed steadily on the ground.

The rabbit struggled to break free, but Qin Chuan slapped it, and the creature instantly went limp, legs kicking once before growing docile.

"See, I have my ways," Qin Chuan said, feeling quite satisfied. He was in a growth phase; living on greens alone wouldn't do. He needed meat, and plenty of it.

Beside him, Shen Gongbao stared in stunned silence. That actually worked? It felt utterly useless in front of Qin Chuan, unable to catch even a single rabbit.

"Lie down!"

Shen Gongbao immediately dropped to its stomach, allowing Qin Chuan to climb back onto its back.

"Pursue the victory! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe! Follow me, charge!" Qin Chuan shouted.

"Pfft!"

"Oh my god, I can't hold back my laughter."

"I just sprayed my classmate's face."

"Watching other people's live streams is like watching a survival thriller, but only watching Qin Chuan makes you feel joy."

"He doesn't look like he's participating in the National Destiny challenge; he looks like he's on vacation."

"And he's carrying a 'luck aura' with him, plus a pet leopard."

...

While the live streams of all the other chosen contestants were filled with life-threatening danger, Qin Chuan’s stream didn't just feel safe—it was so hilarious that viewers were laughing uncontrollably, forgetting that this was a critical, high-stakes broadcast for their nation’s destiny.

When foreign netizens entered Qin Chuan's chat room and saw that the Yanhuang viewers weren't posting expressions of fear or worry, but instead an endless stream of "hahaha," they were instantly baffled. This piqued the curiosity of more and more international viewers: what kind of ability did this Yanhuang child possess that made his countrymen so relaxed?

The benefit of the National Destiny broadcast was that no matter which country you were in or which contestant you were watching, the subtitles appeared in your own native language. There was no need to worry about language barriers. Furthermore, when foreign users posted, their country's name appeared as a prefix.

After watching just a short clip of Qin Chuan, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! This Yanhuang brat is too incredible!"

"My god, where did he find that leopard, and how is it even doing that?"

"He's riding a leopard like a horse, and the leopard doesn't even dare to resist!"

"Forgive me for laughing, but I can't help it. Just watching this kid is hilarious."

"Are all Yanhuang children this powerful?"

"I suspect this kid knows Yanhuang martial arts. Such a little monster is terrifying, but it's strange—how is his luck so good?"

"Could he be the chosen one?"

"I keep feeling like all the other contestants combined can't compare to this one little kid. Why is that?"

...

Foreigners were collectively stunned, scrambling to gather information on Qin Chuan. In the end, they only found the most basic details: orphan, four years old. That was it. It was incredibly, suspiciously simple.

Judging by his performance, there was no way he was an ordinary child. What normal four-year-old could climb trees? Could bully a leopard from a forbidden zone until it acted like a house cat? That agility, that jumping ability, and the strength of his strike—none of it was something a four-year-old should be capable of. Foreign netizens began to speculate that Qin Chuan must be an alien. Only an alien could possess such incredible energy.

Qin Chuan: You guessed right, I am an alien.

Qin Chuan had no idea that he wasn't just trending across Yanhuang, but had become a global sensation. He was a true "superstar"! He was still busy scolding Shen Gongbao; the performance of his mount left him deeply dissatisfied. It couldn't even catch a rabbit. If it weren't for the fact that it was still useful for riding, Qin Chuan would have abandoned it.

His live stream room had grown from a few million viewers in the morning to hundreds of millions, and the count was still climbing. Many were amazed that a child could command such attention.

Back to the scene: Qin Chuan held one rabbit in his hand and urged Shen Gongbao to chase the others, determined to round them all up.

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

Qin Chuan galloped on the leopard, racing through the forest. Although Shen Gongbao was famished—the fruit it ate yesterday hadn't satisfied its hunger—its craving for meat had reached an extreme level. Combined with the humiliation it suffered from Qin Chuan earlier, which had severely damaged its pride, it unleashed the last of its primordial strength to save face.

They say effort creates miracles, and through its desperate exertion, it finally closed in on the remaining three rabbits.

"Roar!"

Shen Gongbao leaped with all its might and, at the critical moment, successfully bit down on one of the rabbits. It was moved to tears; it had finally reclaimed its dignity as a leopard. It wasn't easy.

It glanced back at Qin Chuan, smugly awaiting praise. But the moment it turned around, the leopard's face went blank. What had it just seen? Why were there three rabbits in Qin Chuan's hands?

Qin Chuan had one in his left hand, one in his right, and was stepping on the one he had caught first.

Shen Gongbao’s spirit was shattered. ┌(。Д。)┐

The viewers were stunned. They were shocked. They were in disbelief.

"How is this possible? This brat must be cheating!"

"How could a normal four-year-old catch two jumping rabbits under those conditions? The explosive power of a wild rabbit is something a four-year-old shouldn't be able to handle!"

"If you put it that way, is it normal that the leopard was tamed by him?"

"Definitely not. Leopards are carnivores, especially one from a forbidden zone. This brat is not a normal kid."

"He's a terrifying human wearing the skin of a little boy!"

"Maybe he has special abilities, or perhaps he already had superpowers back on the planet of Nine Provinces!"

"Are there really super-powered beings in this world?"

"Well, the National Destiny broadcast exists, so what else is impossible?"

"That's true."
