As for asking about Jiang Jing, it was because he had seen her that morning, and the girl was feeling somewhat confused at that moment.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Jing did not answer, but asked, "Shiina, why do you want to draw comics? I remember you have won many international awards for your oil paintings, so it is obvious that oil painting is more suitable for you."

"I want to draw manga." Shiina Mashiro's calm tone revealed an unwavering determination and persistence, especially her bright and beautiful eyes, which seemed to be shining.

Sensing Shiina Mashiro's pure passion for manga, Jiang Jing nodded: "Is that so?"

As he spoke, Jiang Jing reached out and picked up several original manuscripts from the table. "So, do you know where your problem lies?"

Shiina Mashiro shook her head, then nodded: "Ayano's story is too simple and bland."

“That’s one point.” Jiang Jing spread out the original manuscripts in his hand: “Your drawing skills are fine, even better than those of professional cartoonists, and even better than that.”

"I took a look this morning and I think you need to solve three problems. First, the story must be interesting. Twists and turns are what make a story. Readers won't like a story that's as bland as plain water."

Secondly, the expressions of the characters in the drawing need to be vivid. Your cartoon characters' expressions are too stiff; it feels like I'm looking at you with a blank expression.

"Sora is so annoying." Shiina Mashiro couldn't help but speak up after hearing Jiang Jing's complaint, but her beautiful face remained expressionless, just as Jiang Jing had said.

Jiang Jing ignored her: "As for the third point, it's about simplification. Your comics are too detailed, and the lines are too varied, which makes them less straightforward. You need to use the simplest lines to outline the story you want to tell, getting straight to the point..."

"Hmm... getting straight to the point."

At this point, Jiang Jing let out a soft "Eh," as if he had thought of something, a strange light appearing in his eyes, and a smile appearing on his lips: "I never thought I would fall into the trap of being blind to my own limitations, of being blind to my own perceptions."

What is the obstacle of perception?

“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained. Did you remember what I said earlier?” Jiang Jing changed the subject and looked at Shiina Mashiro.

"Yes, I've got it."

Shiina Mashiro nodded, then looked at Jiang Jing and said, "Sorata, help me."

"Uh……"

Just then, Mitaka Jin's voice called out "Dinner's ready!" from below, interrupting the two.

At the dinner table, Chihiro Sengoku learned from Jin Mitaka that Kage was preparing to draw a manga and had even submitted a novel the night before, which gave her a similar idea to Jin Mitaka's.

However, Misaki Kamiigusa reacted differently, her eyes shining as she grabbed Jiang Jing and asked, "Junior, why didn't you show it to your senior before submitting it? What kind of story did you write? Is it fun?"

After Jiang Jing casually brushed it off, she asked him to tell her as soon as the publication was confirmed so they could celebrate together, as if she was very confident that he would succeed.

I'm a little nervous about whether I'll get a reply to the contract today. Also, I haven't posted any chapters to complain, and playing this game feels so boring.

Also, the capitalized pinyin for "yellow" is a sensitive word; I'm speechless.

Chapter 16 Perfecting the Superman Bloodline

"Getting to the heart of the matter, my previous thoughts were stuck in a rut, and I forgot the essence of the Kryptonian bloodline."

That night, after dinner and a shower, Jiang Jing didn't follow his afternoon plan to draw two EVA manga samples to see the effect. Instead, he lay down in bed.

In the evening, during a conversation with Shiina Mashiro, when the conversation went straight to the heart of the matter, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized why he had been failing to deduce the second stage of bloodline fusion these past two days.

The main reason lies in the fact that the Kryptonian bloodline is essentially filled with superhuman genetic cells that evolve at an extremely rapid pace, constantly exposed to sunlight and absorbing solar energy to evolve wildly.

In order to solve the problem of Kryptonians' low magic defense and insufficient damage to the mystical side, Jiang Jing envisioned adding innate divine bloodline laws containing various powerful abilities.

As a result, the conflict between the god-level bloodline, which is inherently more exclusive with higher rank, and the Kryptonian genes, which undergo rapid evolution and strengthen their physical bodies and have no excess energy reserves, becomes even more intense.

In particular, the Kryptonian bloodline level in the early stages is only at the fourth level of the extraordinary realm. Although they possess the potential of a Great Dao-level god or demon, they are inherently suppressed when facing those god-level bloodlines and are simply unable to integrate.

"Actually, all I need to do is find a special bloodline that is at the ordinary extraordinary level and whose abilities are biased towards physical modification and enhancement, and integrate its fragment information into the second stage of Kryptonian bloodline genes, so that it and cells can evolve."

"Given the insane rate of Kryptonian cell evolution, those low-level bloodline fragments will soon be fused with the Kryptonian bloodline and eventually become their own innate abilities."

With this in mind, Jiang Jing began to rummage through his memories, searching for extraordinary bloodline information that was useful to the Kryptonians' weaknesses, and analyzing and extracting the fragments of the law information chain he needed.

"I remember that the Titanium Steel Giant, at the fourth level of the Extraordinary Realm, possessed a Titanium Steel Body after reaching adulthood. Not only was its physique dozens of times stronger than diamond, but it could also form an invisible field to defend against various rays from the universe and had high resistance to various extreme heat and cold energy attributes."

"Yes, we can analyze the genetic law fragments related to the Titanium Steel Body and defensive stance of the Titanium Steel alien bloodline and integrate them into the Kryptonian bloodline to enhance them together."

"After all, Superman's body is simply stronger through evolution, not fundamentally changed. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be harmed by ordinary objects after being exposed to Kryptonite."

"However, while we have the defense and Superman's strength is sufficient for offense, we have a significant weakness in dealing damage to the magical and mystical aspects, and this problem needs to be solved."

"If it's a bloodline of the same type, it's best if it's related to light and fire, and it's an ability that can be integrated into the body's instincts, so that it can be fused with the Kryptonian bloodline."

"Hellfire of low-level Flame Demon bloodline... Great Sun True Fire of Three-Eyed Fire Raven... Innate Light Energy Control of Light Winged Man..." One after another, information about bloodlines of extraordinary levels appeared in Jiang Jing's mind, and his thoughts flashed rapidly as he selected what he needed.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Jiang Jing, whose mental energy was exhausted, got up listlessly. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he went to the living room and met the energetic Shangjingcao Misaki.

"Hey junior, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Jiang Jing's sallow complexion and listless spirit, Shangjingcao Misaki was first startled, then suddenly realized something and patted Jiang Jing on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Hey junior, I know young people have needs, but you have to know how to be moderate. Too frequent a time is bad for your health, you know?"

"And if you want, you can go find Mashiro, she definitely won't refuse." After saying that, Misaki Kamiigusa winked mysteriously at Jiang Jing.

"Uh... as expected, it's a senior. But I'm not like Senior Ren, I'm not that thirsty." Jiang Jing shook his head. "I'm going to wake Shiina up."

Arriving at Shiina Mashiro's room on the second floor, Jiang Jing called out, "Shiina, I'm coming in," and opened the door, walking inside.

Shiina Mashiro's room was a bit messy today, but better than the previous few days. She was sleeping peacefully in a white floral nightgown, but it seemed that the top was unbuttoned, revealing a lot of skin.

"Shiina, get up."

"Hmm~ Good morning, Sorata." Shiina Mashiro sat up, rubbed her eyes, and sleepily climbed off the bed. Then, in front of Jiang Jing, she took off her pajamas and changed her clothes.

Nothing much happened today. I combed Shiina Mashiro's hair and let her rinse her mouth and wash her face. It was only 7:30 when I finished.

When Jiang Jing and the other person came downstairs, Chihiro Sengoku, who was sitting at the dining table drinking beer, looked up and said, "It seems that Kanda, you've gotten used to taking care of Shiina. Good luck."

"How can you, teacher, push the responsibility of guardianship onto the students?"

Just then, Misaki Kamiigusa came down from upstairs with a backpack: "Junior, could you ask Nanami if she has time after school? I need her to help with some of the voice acting for my anime."

"it is good."

Because she was feeling listless, Jiang Jing was too lazy to get up and prepare breakfast and a bento box. She and Shiina Mashiro bought a bread on the way and ate it as they walked to school.

However, four people he encountered upon entering the school gate caught his attention.

"Minister, senior students, I'm going to the first year department."

A girl wearing a white shirt and red skirt uniform, with short white hair, petite and very cute like a kitten, spoke to the stunningly beautiful red-haired girl among the four.

“Mm.” Rias nodded.

"Ara ara... You just transferred to Mizu High, little cat, remember to get along well with your classmates." Himejima Akeno covered her mouth and said with a smile.

The handsome blond boy beside her nodded to the white-haired girl, his handsome face cold and stern, seemingly not the kind of person who was good at talking.

The girl among the four was voluptuous and stunningly beautiful, while the boy was tall and handsome. They became the center of attention after only stopping for a short while at the school gate, and students passing by couldn't help but look at them, including Jiang Jing, who was just a few steps away.

Similarly, the other party also noticed him. Among them, Himejima Akeno, whose black hair was tied in a ponytail, glanced at him slightly, stepped forward, and smiled.

"Hello, students. I am Akeno Himejima, a transfer student in the second year of the General Studies Department. This is Rias Gremory, the president of our Mysterious Research Club, and member Yuto Kiba. Please take good care of me in the future."

When Akeno Himejima introduced them, Rias and the other two nodded slightly.

Jiang Jing smiled appropriately at their polite greeting: "Hello, my name is Kanda Sorata, a second-year student in the General Studies Department. This is Shiina Mashiro, a second-year student in the Art Department."

When Jiang Jing introduced himself, Shiina Mashiro's usually calm eyes revealed a rare hint of wariness as she looked at the elegant red-haired Rias and the stunningly charming Himejima Akeno.

After a brief introduction, Rias and the other two politely smiled and nodded to say goodbye. Jiang Jing also politely returned the greeting and they all dispersed.

"Interesting." Jiang Jing narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the three people's backs.

Although Rias and the other two concealed their auras as if they were ordinary people, Jiang Jing could tell from his eyes alone, without using his mental power to detect them.

The other person's self-introduction and the faint demonic aura emanating from them made Jiang Jing think about their identity, which made him somewhat suspicious.

This is Suimei Affiliated High School, not Kuoh High School, right? How come characters from High School DxD are here?

Just then, Shiina Mashiro, who was standing to the side, looked at Jiang Jing, who was deep in thought, in a calm tone: "Sora, ll."

Uh... Jiang Jing was a little confused by what was being said. He turned his head and looked at Shiina Mashiro blankly, unable to understand how he had ended up with ll?

Oops, I misread it. It was just signed! Everyone, please vote for me if you have any!

Chapter 17 Bloodline Fusion

Jiang Jing immediately forgot about encountering the demons at the school gate and didn't bother to find out why they were at Shuigao. He just wanted to enjoy life quietly.

Jiang Jing wasn't late today, which made Qingshan Qihai, who was sitting in front of him, a little strange. After Jiang Jing sat down, she turned around and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a rare animal.

"What kind of look is that?" Jiang Jing was speechless.

"It's a rare sight indeed. After so many days of school, I'm finally not late for one day," Nanami Aoyama exclaimed.

"You're making it sound like I'm some kind of heinous criminal. It's just that I was a few days late."

"It's just being late! Who is it that not only arrives late every day, but also sleeps through class and lies on the rooftop until school ends? Teacher Xiaochun is about to have a talk with you."

"Really? But even though I'm late, sleep in class, and don't participate in clubs, I know I'm a good student."

"Today I've learned what shamelessness really means."

Aoyama Nanami stared wide-eyed at Jiang Jing, then said coldly, "Also, Kanda, you've been assimilated by Sakura-sou and are completely beyond saving."

After saying that, Aoyama Nanami looked at Jiang Jing seriously, then changed the subject: "By the way, Kanda-kun, how long do you plan to stay at Sakura-sou? Didn't you say last year that you were looking for an opportunity to move out? Are you really not planning to move out?"

"If you don't move out soon, it will be too late. I've noticed that many of your classmates are looking at you strangely now," Aoyama Nanami warned.

"So-called 'the gaze of others'?"

Jiang Jing smiled dismissively: "I might have cared about these things before, but what do other people's opinions have to do with me now? Are they going to cost me a piece of my flesh?"

At this moment, the river view suddenly became dazzling in Aoyama Nanami's eyes. In those seemingly smiling eyes, there was a strong confidence that looked down on all living beings, which made Aoyama Nanami gasp for breath.

However, this feeling was fleeting, and Jiang Jing's eyes returned to their ordinary appearance, giving Aoyama Nanami the illusion that she was hallucinating.

At this moment, Jiang Jing remembered the request that Kamijigo Misaki had made that morning: "Oh right, I almost forgot to ask you something."

"What is it?" Aoyama Nanami was taken aback.

"It's about Misaki-senpai. She asked if you have time to do voice acting for her new work."

"Another new work! Misaki-senpai is amazing." Aoyama Nanami said with admiration. Although Misaki lived in Sakura-sou, she had to admit that Kamiigusa Misaki was the most talented person she had ever met.

“Voice acting? I’d like to go… but…” Aoyama Nanami hesitated.

Jiang Jing blinked: "You can't go because of something? Then I'll reply to her for you."

"No, I didn't say I didn't want to go. I'm just hesitant about whether I can do it well. After all, it's Misaki-senpai's work, and I'm sure a lot of people are paying attention to it," Aoyama Nanami quickly said.
