Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

The S-grade talent awakening book transformed into a red light in Su Xiaotang's hand and quietly merged into her palm.

Su Xiaotang had already closed her bright eyes and was quietly sensing the changes within her body.

She imitated a female character from a martial arts novel, taking off her light blue and white high heels and sitting cross-legged on the chair with her legs clad in white stockings, her hands gently resting on her knees with delicate, orchid-like fingers.

Su Xiaotang closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and moved her chest up and down gently in rhythm with her breathing. Her white and blue twin ponytails at the back of her head also swayed slightly.

The pale blue performance sword was placed horizontally on Su Xiaotang's lap, and the blue Chinese knot on the hilt swayed gently with her breathing.

The aroma of green bamboo leaves grew stronger in the air, as if someone had opened a pot of freshly brewed bamboo leaf tea, filling the bus with a refreshing fragrance of bamboo leaves.

At this moment, Su Xiaotang looked like a fairy meditating...

But... in reality, it's completely useless...

Whether you're meditating or using the toilet, whatever talent you're meant to awaken will be the talent you're meant to have.

Just because you imitate a sword immortal won't make you awaken a talent that allows you to open the gates of heaven with a single sword strike.

The system won't awaken your talent to become stronger the more you eat just because you're in the bathroom...

As for what to eat...

Jiang Chen glanced at Su Xiaotang's white-and-pink ice cream, then at the pair of light blue-white high heels she had just taken off, the tops still emitting faint steam...

Jiang Chen subconsciously sniffed; it smelled wonderfully of fresh bamboo leaves, as if he were suddenly surrounded by a bamboo forest.

Jiang Chen was puzzled from the start. Su Xiaotang was just taking a few breaths, how could she make the bamboo leaf fragrance in the air so strong?

It turns out the fresh scent of bamboo leaves came from Su Xiaotang's high heels...

A lunchbox with the fresh scent of bamboo?

Not only does it cut through the greasiness, it also adds a refreshing fragrance...

interesting!

Jiang Chen suddenly had some strange thoughts...

That's bamboo rice...

Presumably, rice cooked in the bamboo tubes that Su Xiaotang mentioned will also have a delicate bamboo leaf fragrance...

Just as Jiang Chen was immersed in the wonderful illusion of bamboo rice, Su Xiaotang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Su Xiaotang's already bright and lively eyes were now even brighter, as if two light bulbs were installed in them.

Su Xiaotang suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Chen standing next to her, her eyes shining even brighter.

Su Xiaotang stood up abruptly, not caring about the dirt, her white-stockinged feet slapping the floor. She then put her hands on her hips and shouted energetically at Jiang Chen:

"Senior brother~!"

"Your adorable junior sister has awakened!"

"Surprised? Happy? Unexpected?!"

[Su Xiaotang's favorability rating: 83→85]

While showing Jiang Chen her liveliness and mischievousness, Su Xiaotang also shared her talent panel with everyone in the car.

[Humanoid Sword Armory] (S-rank)

①【Passive Effect: There is no limit to the number of longswords that can be equipped.】

②【Passive Effect: Can transform the sword into a stream of light and store it in the virtual space within the body; the longsword can be summoned by consuming mental energy.】

③ [Passive effect: All effects of longsword weapons +50%.]

④【Active Effect: Continuously consumes mental energy to control a flying sword.】

Jiang Chen glanced at Su Xiaotang's panel, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Can you equip an unlimited number of longswords?

It's important to know that most players can only equip two weapons and one piece of armor.

Jiang Chen can only equip the Calamity Longsword and the Katana [Lightning - Guardian of the River of Oblivion] at the same time. He cannot use the Golden Desert Eagle while holding these two weapons.

I never expected that Su Xiaotang would be able to equip herself with an uncountable number of longswords.

Moreover, the longsword's effect is increased by 50% when it's on her!

Jiang Chen couldn't even imagine how powerful Su Xiaotang would be when she controlled hundreds or even thousands of flying swords in the later stages!

It's like a heifer dropping an atomic bomb—it's awesome!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen reached out and gently patted Su Xiaotang's head, making a crisp "plop plop" sound.

This girl isn't very tall; even on tiptoe, she only reaches his chin. But her cheerful and lively spirit is truly infectious, and it can make everyone around her happy too.

Jiang Chen was indeed infected by Su Xiaotang's liveliness. He smiled slightly and gently rubbed the top of Su Xiaotang's soft head with his palm.

"It seems our Xiaotang is truly destined to become a female sword immortal."

"Alright! From now on, I'll forge all the swords for you."

Su Xiaotang tilted her head back, her bright eyes narrowing into two crescent moons, revealing two shallow dimples, making her look even more adorable.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Senior brother, you're so kind!"

Jiang Chen was completely mesmerized by Su Xiaotang's blinking eyelashes and her captivating dimples.

He felt that JJ Lin was absolutely right:

"Your dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features..."

A girl like this can keep a guy up at night, her smile constantly replaying in his mind...

Su Xiaotang pursed her lips, noticing that her senior brother was staring blankly at her.

Su Xiaotang's eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea instantly popped into her head.

She took a step forward towards Jiang Chen, stood on tiptoe, revealing her pink heels, and quickly tapped Jiang Chen's cheek.

*Pop!*

The enchanting kissing sound effects were exceptionally clear in the quiet carriage.

Su Xiaotang withdrew her foot and put her hands behind her back.

Although a faint pink blush rose to her cheeks, she still looked up at Jiang Chen, her tone as energetic and lively as ever:

"Thank you, senior brother! Consider this a prepayment of gratitude! I'll pay you back with interest once I truly become a female sword immortal!"

As Su Xiaotang spoke, she imitated Li Xiaoyao's gesture of bringing her index and middle fingers together, repeatedly making the gesture in front of herself:

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The girls immediately started commotion:

"Wow! Is our junior sister this brave?"

"Oh my! I don't know if Xiaotang is a sword immortal, but she's definitely a little thief, a little thief who's very good at stealing hearts!"

"Oh no! Another campus beauty has been snatched up by the sports committee member. The sky is falling for the boys at Tsinghua and Peking Universities..."

Lan Xingyao chuckled:

"Sisters, that's not the point. The point is, the sports committee is going to call Xiaotang, our junior!"

"Oh my gosh~!"

Before Lan Xingyao could finish speaking, Lan Xingwan pinched her ticklish spot hard:

"Sis! You're missing a crucial piece of information. The sports committee member said to give the sword to Junior Sister Xiaotang!"

"Oh my gosh~!"

"Sis... I didn't even pinch you, why are you yelling?"

Lan Xingyao held the Elemental Archmage's Staff in her right hand and looked up at the ceiling:

"Oh my gosh~! I'd love to!"

Jiang Chen watched the two sisters start fighting again and walked speechlessly toward Tang Yan's little koi and the six treasure chests.

We need to hurry and open the treasure chests.

There are a total of 6 S-rank treasure chests. Hopefully, I can equip Su Xiaotang with a few... longswords...
