Fatty wasn't dead, how could that be? He was too weak to have escaped the collapsing building in time.

He had already rescued everyone trapped inside, but Fatty was the only exception.

Omniscience, however, said Fatty was alive!

Jiang Chen didn't believe it.

He spoke, "Can you stop joking? Is this kind of joke funny?"

Omniscience heard the slight tremor in Jiang Chen's voice and knew the guy was genuinely upset.

But, he wasn't lying!

Fatty was indeed not dead.

As the Omniscient and Omnipotent Zanpakuto, it knew everything in this world, so how could it lie?

Seeing Jiang Chen's obvious disbelief.

Omniscience pointed to the sky and said, "In three seconds, Fatty will fall from here. You need to catch him, or he'll really be smashed to death!"

Jiang Chen didn't reply. He was currently consumed by deep grief.

He didn't want to speak at all!

At this moment, Fatty's voice echoed from the sky...

"Ah, help me!"

Fatty's voice was loud, and Jiang Chen was sure he wasn't hallucinating.

Could it be that Fatty was really still alive?

The thought of this possibility...

Jiang Chen suddenly looked up at the sky.

He saw a ball of flesh plummeting rapidly downwards in freefall!

With such a plump physique, who else in the entire school could it be but Fatty!

Without a second thought, Jiang Chen used Flash Step, appearing in mid-air and grabbing Fatty by his collar.

Fatty's round face was clearly still shaken. Seeing Jiang Chen, his face lit up with surprise: "Brother Chen!"

Before Jiang Chen could say anything, he heard a ripping sound!

The collar he was holding onto tore.

Without Jiang Chen holding him, Fatty plummeted rapidly again.

He yelled, "Brother Chen, save me!"

Jiang Chen quickly used Flash Step again, grabbing Fatty's arm.

Feeling safe, Fatty took several deep breaths of fresh air.

He shouted, "Brother Chen, thank you for saving me."

"I really thought I was going to be smashed into meat paste!"

Jiang Chen brought Fatty back to the ground.

Then, he looked Fatty up and down, asking with concern, "Fatty, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Other than my heart beating a little fast, everything's normal!"

Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him with disbelief, Fatty was a bit puzzled, "Brother Chen, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm really fine!"

"That's great, Fatty, you're okay!"

Zhang Banxian rushed over and hugged Fatty's chubby body.

"Wuwuwu!" He cried loudly.

"Let go, I can't breathe! Fatty, what did you mean by that? It's like you were hoping something would happen to me!"

Fatty struggled with all his might to break free from Zhang Banxian's embrace.

He questioned with a look of accusation, "What did you mean just now?"

"I thought of you as a brother, but you were hoping something would happen to me!"

Zhang Banxian wiped away his tears, sniffled, and said to Fatty, "The building collapsed. We rescued everyone, but we didn't see you. We thought..."

Fatty looked confused upon hearing this. When did the building collapse?

How did he not know!

When he turned and saw the collapsed building behind him, he asked with some surprise, "What's going on? I don't remember anything. I just remember eating in class, then the ground shook..."

"And then, I was in the air."

"I don't know anything about what you're saying!"

This indeed made Zhang Banxian and Jiang Chen feel strange.

The building collapsed too suddenly; there wasn't enough time to escape.

Fatty's Supernatural Ability is also very weak, so he shouldn't have been able to leave the scene of the incident immediately.

Then how did he manage to leave the scene and appear in the air?

"Ah! Something's moving in my stomach!!!"

Fatty felt something abnormal in his stomach and shouted in fear.

Zhang Banxian and Jiang Chen hurried to look and found that something was indeed moving inside Fatty's clothes!

"Brother Chen, help me!"

Instinctively, Fatty cried out to Jiang Chen for help.

He felt very scared!

Jiang Chen couldn't hold onto whatever it was and couldn't act rashly, so he could only observe for the time being!

"Brother Chen, this thing has moved up to my neck!"

"Could it be a demon?"

Fatty's face turned a little pale from fright.

"No!"

Jiang Chen was absolutely certain of this.

No demon template had appeared before him.

Therefore, he was sure that the thing on Fatty was not a demon.

If it's not a demon, what could it be?

Jiang Chen, with a guess in his heart, kept paying attention to the situation with Fatty.

He saw the thing wriggling inside Fatty's clothes and dart out from the collar.

It was very small, smaller than a kitten, fluffy and smooth all over. It perched on Fatty's shoulder, found a comfortable spot, yawned, then curled up its legs and actually fell asleep.

Fatty stood there, not daring to move. He used his eyes to look, examining the stranger that had appeared on his shoulder. It actually had three eyes.

And it looked so strange, not like a cat, nor a dog, nor a mink or squirrel.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a demon.

The thought of it being a demon made him too scared to move. He looked at Jiang Chen with his eyes, hoping he would quickly think of a way to help him.

Jiang Chen hadn't expected what this little guy appearing on Fatty's shoulder was.

Looking at its appearance, it was either a demon beast or a monster beast.

Even if the system didn't display it.

It didn't mean this guy wasn't a demon or a monster beast.

Demon beasts and monster beasts were inherently bloodthirsty and extremely brutal.

It absolutely could not be kept.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen couldn't guarantee Fatty's safety.

He raised his Zanpakuto, ready to eliminate the guy on Fatty's shoulder, which was either a demon beast or a monster beast, when he heard Omniscience say: "You dare to kill a Divine Beast, aren't you afraid of backlash?"

What???

Jiang Chen was greatly surprised after hearing this. He hadn't expected at all that the little guy on Fatty's body was actually a Divine Beast.

This, how could it be...

"What's impossible about it? Your friend himself has a trace of Divine Beast bloodline; it's only natural for him to contract a Divine Beast."

Omniscience glanced at Fatty and said: "Moreover, this guy's bloodline power has always been sealed. In a moment of life and death, the seal broke slightly, which allowed him to complete the contract with the Divine Beast."

So that's how it is!!!

Jiang Chen nodded after hearing this, indicating he understood.

Out of consideration, it would be best not to let too many people know about Fatty contracting a Divine Beast.

He remembered Fatty complaining to him that others' Supernatural Abilities were at least supportive and useful, but his was actually an egg.

An egg that hadn't hatched for ten years.

Completely useless.

He had once jokingly said, who else in this world was more useless than him.

Perhaps this Divine Beast was related to the egg.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen asked: "Fatty, is the egg you contracted in your spiritual consciousness space still there?"

Although Fatty didn't know why Jiang Chen was asking, he still checked as Jiang Chen instructed.

After looking, he said with some surprise: "Brother Chen, the egg in my spiritual consciousness space is gone."

"Then that's it!"

"The little guy on your shoulder must be your contracted beast. If you don't believe me, use your Supernatural Ability to check."

As expected, Fatty used his Supernatural Ability to sense it, and indeed, he felt a thread of connection with the little beast.

This means his egg hatched, and his Supernatural Ability was finally used.

But...

"Brother Chen, why do I feel like this little beast's life is very weak, like it's dying!!!"
