A system notification sounded in his ear. "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of angering the Campus Belle. You have received 1,000 Activation Points."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Zanpakuto: Glazed Karma Fire."
"You have obtained the Zanpakuto: Glazed Karma Fire template."
No one around noticed Jiang Chen's change. However, someone recognized him and cursed, "Isn't this the famous trash from Class Seven, the Genius Youth whose supernatural ability hasn't awakened after three years?!"
"Hahaha, Genius Youth? Like this..."
Someone sneered and pointed at Jiang Chen's nose. "You? You deserve to be called a genius? Why don't you look in a mirror and see what you look like!"
"I think he's worse than a dog!"
"Teach him a lesson! One of my little fingers is enough!"
The Campus Belle's pursuers looked down on him and activated their supernatural abilities one after another. Multicolored light shimmered around them as they began attacking Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smile. This was the perfect chance to test the power of his Zanpakuto.
He drew his sword hilt and said calmly, "Bloom, Lapis Lazuli!"
Countless transparent petals bloomed beneath the crowd's feet, and intangible flames ignited the entire field.
Before anyone could react, the flames engulfed them!
"So hot! It burns! What is this? Is this Jiang Chen's supernatural ability? When did he awaken?!"
Jiang Chen watched the flames engulf the crowd, then simply picked up his Zanpakuto and left. These were the so-called geniuses of the school? In his eyes, they were worse than trash.
Song Yiyi, the Campus Belle, was stunned as well. She had never expected the young man who had just been disrespectful to her to be so powerful.
She had a feeling that she was no match for him.
And he hadn't even looked at her once. Was he ignoring her? Damn it, Jiang Chen, was it? This young lady would remember you.
Just wait.
"Wow, Brother Chen, you're amazing! You actually knocked all those people down!" Fatty Wang ran over. "I was worried you'd suffer a loss just now."
"My supernatural ability only awakened just now!" Jiang Chen looked at Fatty Wang's tiny eyes and said, "I didn't expect it to awaken at this time either."
"Congratulations, Brother Chen!" Zhang Banxian somehow produced a fan and casually waved it as he spoke.
"Yeah, yeah, we really should celebrate! Come on, let's eat at the best restaurant. My treat!" Fatty Wang said with a grand wave of his hand.
Zhang Banxian narrowed his eyes and said, "We still have class later. Do you really think it's okay for us to skip?"
"Skip class?" Fatty Wang said dismissively. "Even if our class is missing the three of us, the teacher probably won't care. We may be the trash of the class, but Brother Chen isn't anymore as of today!"
"Brother Chen, if I'm ever in danger, remember to save me!"
"Of course!"
Fatty Wang had covered Jiang Chen's meals for three years. Fatty Wang treated him well, so naturally, Jiang Chen would be loyal to him in return.
"Brother Chen, me too. If I'm ever in danger, remember to save me!" Zhang Banxian said pitifully.
Jiang Chen glanced at him. "If you need me, I'll do my best."
"Let's go! Anyway, we're going to be brothers with Brother Chen for life!" Fatty Wang was incredibly strong. He hooked an arm around Jiang Chen and Zhang Banxian's shoulders and dragged them outside.
What Jiang Chen didn't know was that the scene of him beating up his classmates had fallen into an old man's eyes.
"His name is Jiang Chen, correct?"
The old man spoke to the empty air. Before long, a man dressed in a black suit and black sunglasses, looking like a bodyguard, appeared beside him. The man said respectfully, "Yes, Principal!"
"Bring me his file!"
"Yes, Principal!"
Meanwhile, the three of them were celebrating at the finest restaurant, ordering the most expensive dishes. Fatty Wang was the young owner here. His family ran a chain of restaurants, making him a genuine Second-Generation Rich.
He had been sent to the Supernatural Ability Academy purely to have fun.
Fatty Wang greeted Zhang Banxian and Jiang Chen. "This is a new dish from the hotel. Come, try it."
Jiang Chen casually picked up some food, then opened the system's missions.
As he unlocked the Zanpakuto, the mission rewards also gave him more Activation Points.
He was considering which Zanpakuto to activate next.
The stronger a Zanpakuto's ability was, the more Activation Points it required. Take Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga Tensho, for example—it required Activation Points measured in the hundreds of millions.
Jiang Chen would not consider that for now.
His Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire already belonged to the fire attribute. Should he choose another attribute instead?
Jiang Chen fell into thought.
At that moment, the system mission updated again.
"Challenge an S-Class Demonic Beast and receive 10,000 Activation Points."
Challenge an S-Class Demonic Beast... Was his current strength enough?
Just as he was thinking about it, an alarm began blaring outside.
The piercing alarm drew Jiang Chen's attention.
This was the Safe Zone. Powerful barriers surrounded the area, so there shouldn't have been any Demonic Beasts. In the three years since he had transmigrated to this world, he could count on one hand the number of times he had heard an alarm.
Including this time, it was only the second.
Fatty Wang heard the alarm too. He stopped chewing and looked out the window. "Nothing's going to happen, right?"
"Look at the TV!" Zhang Banxian pointed at the television that had just turned on inside the private room.
On the television, a female news anchor faced the camera and said, "We interrupt this program with an urgent report. Sacred Heart Academy has been attacked by a Humanoid Demonic Beast. The number of student casualties is currently unknown. The Law Enforcement Team has already arrived, and we will continue to follow the situation."
Sacred Heart Academy... wasn't that the academy Xiao Lan attended?
When Jiang Chen transmigrated into this world, he had been an orphan. The only family he had was a younger sister, Xiao Lan, who had no blood relation to him, yet depended on him for survival.
Xiao Lan was kind and treated Jiang Chen very well. Over the years, Jiang Chen had long regarded her as his own biological sister.
Fortunately, unlike Jiang Chen, Xiao Lan's supernatural ability had awakened early. It was a Healing Type ability.
That was why she attended the middle school division of Sacred Heart Academy.
"You two keep eating. I'm going to take a look!"
Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks and hurried outside as he spoke.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Fatty Wang wanted to ask more, but Jiang Chen had already vanished.
Jiang Chen ran outside and tried to find a taxi to take him to Sacred Heart Academy. But when the drivers heard his destination, they all shook their heads and refused.
Sacred Heart Academy was under attack by a Humanoid Demonic Beast. It was currently the most dangerous place in the Safe Zone. No one dared to go there.
Jiang Chen was anxious. Sacred Heart Academy was not close by. If he ran there himself and missed the best window for rescue, then if anything happened to his sister, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Fatty Wang and Zhang Banxian caught up to him and asked.
"My sister is at Sacred Heart Academy. I need to get there."
"I'll drive you there." Fatty Wang answered without hesitation.
"If we drive, it may be too late. Maybe this can help you!" As he spoke, Zhang Banxian handed Jiang Chen a talisman. "This is a Tracking Talisman. It should be able to help you!"
"Zhang Banxian, how do you have such an expensive talisman? This isn't cheap. It costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins at an auction house!" Fatty Wang recognized at a glance that the Tracking Talisman Zhang Banxian had taken out was extraordinary.
"I'm from Dragon Tiger Mountain!" Zhang Banxian said, no longer hiding it.
"On this descent from the mountain, I obeyed my master's orders to protect Uncle-Master Jiang."
Let me clarify: Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire and Captain Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka are not the same Zanpakuto. Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire is a Zanpakuto of transparent flames, so clearly they are not the same.
