The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

As for Draig inside, if he knows what's good for him, Jiang Jing will help him find a body to replace the soul essence he's cut off and start cultivating again. Maybe one day he can return to his peak.

If it doesn't know what's good for it, Jiang Jing will spend some time erasing its will and soul imprint, leaving only the purest dragon soul power containing the origin of the laws.

Jiang Jing planned to use this pure dragon soul power, which contained the origin of the laws, to modify Shiina Mashiro's body.

Now that it's his pet, in this world with extraordinary power, how can it survive without any self-defense capabilities? Even if it doesn't want to kill, it needs to have the power to avoid being killed.

Of course, Jiang Jing knew that with Zhenbai's personality, she definitely wouldn't be interested in cultivation, so there was no point in expecting her to diligently cultivate.

Jiang Jing happens to have the soul of a true god-level dragon in his possession. With some tinkering and refining, it can be used as a cultivation cheat for Shiina Mashiro.

Jiang Jing also plans to try it on the white cat Xiao Guang.

A cat that was transformed by the soul power of a true dragon and gained the bloodline of a true god-level dragon—should it be called Totoro or Cat-Dragon?

Just as Jiang Jing was stroking his chin, wondering what Xiao Guang would look like, Shiina Mashiro put down her paintbrush: "Sorata."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Jiang Jing turned to look at the girl.

"Look." Shiina Mashiro handed her small sketchbook to Jiang Jing.

Today, Shiina Mashiro drew a colored picture, A4 size. In the picture, a clear stream meanders, with green grass on the riverbank, and a boy and a girl sitting on a bench by the river.

In the painting, a girl with light yellow hair, wearing a plain dress and a sun hat, is looking down, holding a drawing board in one hand, and concentrating on painting.

Beside her, a boy wearing a white t-shirt, casual pants, and flat shoes leaned lazily against a chair, his expression calm and peaceful, as if he were contemplating the three great truths of the universe.

With just a few strokes, the painting captures the essence of the subject, giving viewers a stunning feeling as if they are actually inside the painting.

"It's very well drawn," Jiang Jingdian nodded in praise.

"Do you like it?" Shiina Mashiro asked, looking at Jiang Jing.

"Yes, I like it."

"Then I'll give it to Sorata." A rare smile appeared on Shiina Mashiro's lips.

Jiang Jing was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Because the girl lacked common sense, she didn't know how to express her emotions.

However, from this painting, Jiang Jing felt that the girl seemed to subconsciously no longer simply regard the relationship between the two as that of a master and a pet.

Although she herself did not realize it.

P.S.: Remember to vote, everyone! It feels like you guys have already given up after just one day of offering the bounty (hehe).

Chapter 89 Nothing a good night's sleep can't solve (Second Update)

After seeing Jiang Jing dry and put the painting away, Zhenbai was very satisfied and then picked up the easel again.

However, this time she drew color illustrations for the third volume of Toradora!, and she only needs five more illustrations to complete the third volume.

Seeing this, Jiang Jing didn't disturb her. At this moment, he remembered the phone call from Uemura Yuriko that morning and took his phone out of his pocket.

A gentle river breeze blew, and the two people sitting by the river looked like a real couple on a date. The sunlight was blocked by the shade of the trees behind them, casting dappled golden light, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Upon logging into Weibo, Jiang Jing saw that his account's followers had exceeded 100,000, approaching 110,000, just as Uemura Yuriko had said.

The Weibo post that was previously quiet was now filled with countless comments and discussions. The traces left by the four friends who had tea after school that day have long been buried and disappeared.

Most of the comments were inquiries about the Toradora! series, while a small number were speculations and discussions about Jiang Jing's personal information, such as his age and whether he was handsome.

The most supported view in these discussions is that the author of "God of Heaven" must be a greasy, middle-aged man who likes anime culture.

Only those who have experienced the hardships and tribulations of society can yearn for the most beautiful high school years. The author has written about the psychology of the five main characters in Dragon and Tiger with such delicacy, creating unique characters and demonstrating a mature writing style that is not at all like that of a newcomer.

"A greasy middle-aged man?" Jiang Jing couldn't help but touch his smooth chin, lost in thought. Did he look like a middle-aged man?

"No, I didn't write this original work, so what does it have to do with me?" Jiang Jing realized, shook his head, stopped looking at the discussion, and opened his private messages.

I also received a lot of private messages, but I lost interest in opening them because of the river view.

However, when he saw that there were only a few fans at the top, he casually clicked on the information of the person he was following. Jiang Jing's finger, which was about to exit, paused.

Guitar, Wei: "Shinten-sensei, Volume 2 is amazing! You're so incredible! By the way, Shinten-sensei, Ritsu asked me to ask when you'll send the signed copies you promised us?"

Guitar, only "Teacher Shentian, are you there? I want to ask when the third volume will be released? I can't wait to read it!"

"Oh dear, is Teacher Shentian shy? He's not replying to us at all?"

"Oh no, Mr. Shinten, Mio is angry. I'll text you again when I have time. I'm going to rehearse now."

"...?" Jiang Jing really wanted to ask when he had promised to send her an autographed artwork. Didn't he say last time that he didn't have money to pay for postage?

"Can you play the guitar? Have you rehearsed? Did you oversleep this morning? It seems like there's a midterm exam coming up, have you studied?"

Jiang Jing smiled mischievously and clicked send.

This girl's personality is similar to Shiina Mashiro and Kamiigusa Misaki, but the three of them are in different directions.

He just doesn't know if the five members of K-On! in this world... no, Azusa is still in her third year of middle school, so it's a four-member group now. He wonders if they are the same as the ones he remembers.

In the evening, when Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro returned to Sakura-sou side by side, they were taken aback when they opened the door.

Green cabbages were everywhere on the living room furniture, kitchen counter, and tables, and there was even a path made of cabbages that led down the hallway to the door of Mitaka Jin's room.

"Uh... is it just a habit? I haven't asked anyone to buy cabbages these past two days, and Misaki was also worried about what to make for her birthday celebration today. I didn't expect this scene to still happen in the end." Jiang Jing was somewhat speechless.

"Sora, what's this?" Shiina Mashiro asked, her face full of questions.

"It's a birthday surprise that Misaki-senpai prepared for Jin-senpai." Jiang Jing shrugged.

Jiang Jing knew that Shangjingcao Misaki was destined to be disappointed today. Mitaka Jin, who had been attacked by the ghost's sound waves, was still lying in the observation ward of the Jiantian Association branch and had not yet woken up.

Jiang Jing estimates that it will take several more days for him to wake up, undergo an association check to confirm that he has not been contaminated, and have his memory erased before returning.

"A birthday surprise." Shiina Mashiro's eyes lit up.

"Don't try this. For ordinary people, this isn't a surprise at all," Jiang Jing said irritably, having seen through Shiina Mashiro's thoughts. "It's a shock."

Jiang Jing shook his head: "Luckily, I knew my senior would cause trouble tonight, so I ate out before coming back."

"Don't disturb her, go upstairs and take a shower."

"Oh." Shiina Mashiro, who had wanted to watch the commotion, was sent up to take a bath.

As darkness fell, in Mitaka Jin's room, on the bed, Ueiso Misaki, completely naked, sat silently with her arms wrapped around her knees, inside a large cardboard box.

As time passed, the initial excitement gradually turned into disappointment, and an urge to cry began to well up inside.

In room 101, Jiang Jing, sitting at a low table, put down his pen, looked up at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

He thought that after discovering that Mitaka Jin hadn't returned so late, Kamiigusa Misaki would give up the surprise and go up to rest, but he didn't expect her to still be squatting in that dark little box.

Jiang Jing glanced at the completed seventeenth chapter of the EVA manga on the table, then looked at Shiina Mashiro across from him and said, "Mashiro, I'm going to check on my senior."

Jiang Jing, who had just finished showering, looked like he had nothing to do in the room. Shiina Mashiro asked him to continue drawing EVA so that she could add color when she had time.

After Jiang Jing mentioned that they would create this color comic together that day, Shiina Mashiro had been thinking about it ever since.

"Hmm." Just because she doesn't understand common sense doesn't mean Shiina Mashiro can't sense the atmosphere. Kamiigusa Misaki hasn't come out yet, so she must be feeling down and needs someone to comfort her.

The best view from Sakura-sou is the river. Ryunosuke Akasaka is always holed up at home, Chihiro Sengoku is away traveling to her best friend's hometown, and she...

Of course, Shiina Mashiro didn't know that Kamiigusa Misaki was hiding naked in a box, otherwise she wouldn't have nodded so readily.

Wearing slippers, in the pitch-black hallway outside, Jiang Jing opened the door that Mitaka Jin had left unlocked after Misaki had opened it.

Looking at the cabbages scattered all over the room, Jiang Jing shook her head, didn't turn on the light, sat down on the bed, and knocked on the cardboard box: "Senior, this won't do."

Jiang Jing's voice made a sound inside. Thinking that it was Mitaka Jin returning, Misaki, who was about to jump out with joy, suddenly dimmed her eyes, listlessly opened the box, and stuck her head out.

"Junior, what do you think I can do to get Jin to look at me?" Misaki Kamiigusa's tone was full of disappointment, her eyes were dim, completely different from her usual energetic self.

Jiang Jing shrugged: "The problem between the two of you right now isn't about who likes whom, but about the differences in social status, talent, and personality."

“Status, personality, talent.” Misaki Kamiigusa was taken aback.

She recognized each word individually, but when these words were combined, they were incomprehensible to Misaki Kamiigusa, who was an alien.

Looking at the bewildered Misaki, Jiang Jing, who was originally prepared to give her a long talk and enlighten her, shook his head, because he remembered that he had never been in a relationship either.

"Forget it, senior, I don't have the ability to be an emotional analyst either."

As Jiang Jing spoke, he brushed his hand behind Shangjingcao Misaki's head, and Shangjingcao Misaki immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Jing picked up the bed sheet, carried Shangjingcao Misaki out, placed her on the bed, tidied up a bit, closed the door, and left.

Jiang Jing's idea is that there's no problem that a good night's sleep can't solve; if there is, then he'll just sleep a little longer.

The longer you spend with people, the more you like dogs, because dogs are simple and loyal, and they only have you, so they focus all their attention on you.

The same applies to Jiang Jing. Having emerged from the darkest abyss and witnessed countless dark aspects of the world, he feels very relaxed and at ease with extremely innocent people like Shiina Mashiro and Misaki.

This is one of the reasons why he still hangs out at Sakura Dormitory.

He is still in school, partly because of the constraints of his identity in this world.

After all, this life is a cycle of reincarnation, and everything Kanda Sorata has is his; the two are inseparable. It's not a case of possession like a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest, so this karmic connection cannot be severed.

The second reason is that staying at Sakura-sou is quite comfortable. Once you reach the level of river view, you no longer care about material enjoyment, but only about the feeling of your own soul.

What's giving Jiang Jing a headache right now is his parents.

As a great demon god whose main time spans several decades and whose mission world time spans over a thousand years, Jiang Jing felt somewhat uncomfortable when two ordinary human parents with a pure blood relationship suddenly appeared above him.

The thought of calling out "Mom and Dad" to each other's faces gave Jiang Jing goosebumps all over.

Chapter 90 Target Locked, Kanda Sorata (Third Update)

May 8th, one more day of holiday is over.

"Ah..." In the morning, Jiang Jing, sitting at the low table, yawned, slumped his shoulders, and looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was sitting opposite him, quietly drawing.

And behind Mashiro, Misaki Kamiigusa, sitting in front of the TV playing video games, is making a lot of noise.

At this moment, she showed no signs of disappointment or sadness; she was full of energy, her face always beaming with a bright smile, and her mind had once again entered the brainwave alien mode.

For example, this morning, while I was still lying in bed enjoying the river view, I was woken up by Misaki falling from the sky, and Mashiro couldn't escape either.

"Junior, if you keep going like this, you'll really become a couch potato. Come and fight me now, awaken the super-light power within you, da da da da..."

"If they really awaken, I'm afraid you'll all be burned to ashes," Jiang Jing said sleepily, his elbows resting on the low table and his chin propped up.

Last night, Jiang Jing exhausted all his mental energy and opened more than 10,000 acupoints in his body. Now, his mental energy has not recovered even 10%, so he appears listless.
