Jiang Chen said he didn't understand. Just as he was about to ask, he realized there was no Omniscience shadow beside him.

His Soul Power had been completely depleted, leaving him in a weakened state.

He felt like he couldn't stand steady.

Seeing Fatty not far away, he called out, "Fatty!"

"Brother Chen, you called me!"

Hearing Jiang Chen's call, Fatty quickly ran to his side.

"Help me up a bit!"

Jiang Chen rested one hand on Fatty's shoulder, leaning his weight onto him.

Only then did he feel a little better.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's pale and unwell complexion, Fatty asked with great concern.

"I'm fine! I just overexerted my strength and feel a bit weak!"

"Just help me back to the classroom later."

Jiang Chen's class still had another session after this one; he was a reporter.

"You're like this, and you're still going to class?"

"Why don't you just take the day off and go home!"

Fatty suggested.

"No!"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "I'm not in good condition right now. If Xiao Lan sees me like this at home, she'll definitely ask a lot of questions and worry about me."

"I don't want her to worry."

"How about you come to my place?"

Fatty pondered. "No one's home right now, so it's fine if you come over."

"Forget it, I'm not that fragile. I'm just a bit weak, I'll be fine after resting for a bit."

General Pagoda had been observing Jiang Chen. Seeing him like this, he deduced that his Supernatural Ability had been completely depleted, causing these symptoms. He then said, "I have an anti-fatigue potion here. Do you want to use it?"

"It can eliminate physical fatigue, but your Supernatural Ability will need time to recover."

"Thank you, General, but I don't like taking medicine!"

After speaking, Jiang Chen said to Fatty, "Let's go!"

Since Jiang Chen refused, General Pagoda didn't insist. Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, he called out, "Wait a moment, I have something to tell you!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, looking curiously at General Pagoda.

It seemed as if he was asking what he wanted to say.

"If you feel your body has recovered sufficiently, go to the principal's office. I'll be waiting there. I have some things I want to ask about Nie Xiaoqian."

"Okay!"

After speaking with General Pagoda, Jiang Chen, supported by Fatty, returned to the classroom.

Along the way, Fatty kept saying to Jiang Chen, "Brother Chen, slow down. I'm supporting you, don't walk too fast!"

"I'm not disabled, just a bit weak."

Jiang Chen smiled and lightly tapped Fatty's head.

"Wasn't I cool fighting?"

"Cool? I was worried to death!"

Fatty said frankly.

"It's all my fault for dragging you to watch the practical combat class!"

Fatty scratched his head, his eyes looking a bit lost. "Brother Chen, why did I even come to watch the practical combat class? I'm not interested in this stuff at all!"

Jiang Chen remained silent. He didn't tell Fatty that he had been controlled by Nie Xiaoqian.

If he told him, he would definitely overthink it.

So he replied, "It's all in the past, don't think about it too much."

At this moment, the news of Jiang Chen eliminating an S-Class Demonic Beast once again spread throughout the entire school, causing a stir.

"This is the person who couldn't awaken his Supernatural Ability for three years, and suddenly awakened it to defeat an S-Class demon, Jiang Chen!"

"He truly made a name for himself."

"Yeah, he's so amazing!"

"If only I could be like this one day!"

"Wake up, it's impossible in this life, maybe in the next."

A girl said, "I wonder if Jiang Chen has a girlfriend. I want to chase him!"

"I can't become an S-Class expert, but I can become the mother of an S-Class expert!"

Hearing the girls talking, everyone chuckled, "With your looks, you should wait for the second half of your life."

"What's wrong with me? Don't I have a good figure?"

The girl retorted unconvinced, "Or maybe I'm not good-looking."

"You are good-looking, but you're still far from the Campus Belle."

"I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Saying that, the girl's face turned ugly, and she turned to leave!

"You guys, for someone like Jiang Chen, who do you think would be worthy of him?" someone asked.

"Probably only the Campus Belle from our school!"

Someone who didn't understand asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Don't you know? Jiang Chen once confessed to Song Yiyi!"

"That happened?" A boy wearing glasses pushed his glasses up and asked.

"How could this be fake? Many people saw it on the sports field at the time."

Just then, Song Yiyi happened to be passing by and overheard this. For some reason, she slowed her steps.

When they said that only she was worthy of Jiang Chen, she inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation.

Thinking about it, her heart rate quickened.

Internally, she couldn't help but wonder if he truly liked her when he confessed to her before.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already returned to the classroom and was sitting in the back with Fatty.

Jiang Chen's Soul Power was greatly depleted and he needed sleep to recover.

He slumped onto his desk to rest.

He didn't even notice when the teacher entered the classroom to start the lesson.

This time, the teacher didn't look at Jiang Chen unfavorably as usual and deliberately cause trouble for him.

Instead, she deliberately lowered her voice and began the lecture, afraid of disturbing Jiang Chen's rest.

He was the only S-Class Supernatural Ability user in the entire school, and so young. His future was limitless, so she naturally couldn't offend him.

As for how she used to look down on Jiang Chen, she didn't know if he would hold a grudge.

Thinking this, the Beast Class teacher's voice grew even softer.

Fatty, however, was not asleep. Although he wasn't interested in becoming a powerful expert, he was very interested in Beast Studies.

Therefore, he enjoyed listening.

He felt that the teacher seemed a bit different today. She was speaking so softly, almost in a gentle whisper.

And her movements had become very light.

Teaching like this, with such a soft voice, he couldn't hear anything at all.

He had no other choice but to strain to listen.

He thought about preparing a voice recorder for tomorrow; listening to lectures like this was too difficult.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly.

In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the planet he once lived on, Earth.

He looked at the familiar street scenes, the restaurants he loved to eat at, and the places he enjoyed visiting.

Suddenly, he felt very excited.

He had returned.

He could live the life of a Second-Generation Rich again.

He didn't have to live in constant fear in the demon world.

It was truly wonderful.

Before Jiang Chen could even let out a loud laugh, his reality was shattered by a voice.

"Does this world feel familiar?"

This voice belonged to his Zanpakuto, Omniscience.

Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and saw Omniscience, dressed in a white Shinigami uniform.

He instinctively asked, "What are you doing here?"

"This is your inner world, where else would I be?" Omniscience said with a smile to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't reply. Why did he feel like Omniscience was full of schemes whenever he smiled?

Why was he brought here for no reason?

Something was wrong.

"Aren't you going to ask why you're here?"

"I'm waiting for you to tell me!"

Jiang Chen replied.

"I brought you here. Aren't you surprised? Isn't it unexpected? How wonderful it is to see the world of your past life here."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Chen added, "Why do I feel like your appearance is a fright!"

"You didn't summon me here just to see the world of my past life, did you?"

"That's right! I summoned you here because I want to replace you!"
