The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

However, Jiang Jing ignored the stunningly beautiful woman and instead focused his gaze on the girl in military uniform. Deep within his eyes, golden runes of rules appeared.

Suddenly, everything in the world disappeared, leaving only pitch blackness, a darkness that seemed capable of devouring the world, in Jiang Jing's eyes.

The body of the origin of darkness.

The runes deep in his eyes disappeared, and Jiang Jing looked at the girl in military uniform with a slight look of surprise.

Similarly, as Jiang Jing was sizing up the girl, the little girl was also looking at him with a serious expression, her eyes seemingly filled with endless darkness, trying to see through Jiang Jing in some kind of sensory way.

“I see pure light in you, the 36th Awakened One.”

The girl asked with a puzzled look, "But why didn't you merge with the light like me? Instead, you merged the light into your body and became a power-type being?"

"You've been observing me these past few days, haven't you?"

As he spoke, Jiang Jing squatted down in front of the little girl, becoming as tall as her, and looked at her curiously: "Judging from your expression, you want to talk to me about something. Let's make it clear beforehand, don't mention joining me. I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

After saying that, Jiang Jing unexpectedly placed his hand on the girl's head, then took off his hat, revealing a cascade of white hair hanging down from her head.

Suddenly, the girl who had been so serious just moments before transformed into an incredibly cute little white-haired girl.

However, the little girl was very angry at this moment. She snatched the military cap, looked at Jiang Jing with a serious face, and said angrily, "What are you doing? We are talking about something very serious. Be serious."

"Hahahaha... Didn't you also notice how cute Xiao Yan is without her hat?" The black-haired beauty next to her covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly, disregarding her image, her laughter was quite flamboyant.

But it did not affect her perfect image in the slightest; on the contrary, it gave her a unique and amazing charm that captivated everyone.

"Don't laugh." The white-haired girl puffed out her cheeks, getting even angrier, and then took a big bite of the ice cream in her hand.

The white-haired girl swallowed her ice cream with her puffed-out lips, then pointed to the side and looked sternly at the black-haired beauty: "You, go away, don't interrupt my business."

"Haha...okay...okay...I'll go to the side." Laughing, the black-haired beauty obediently walked to the side and then watched them with interest.

At the same time, the invisible barrier that constantly enveloped the two of them spread out, sealing off this section of the road.

"I am codename Annihilation, the 32nd Awakened One, and currently the highest-ranking official in the Neon State Branch."

"I was originally going to observe you for a few more days before making contact with you, but since we've met today, let's do it earlier."

"According to the rules of the Awakened Mutual Aid Alliance, since you have appeared in my guarded area, I must provide you with protection during your ability growth period and guide you to become familiar with and master your own source power."

The white-haired girl spoke in a serious tone, "I have just returned from reporting to the restricted area. I will be stationed in Japan for the next three years. As long as you do not violate the inhumane laws in the documents and do not do anything reckless, I will ensure your safety in Kyoto."

"As for whether or not to join the association, there is no mandatory requirement. Anyway, when the day comes that you can't stop it anymore, you won't be able to do anything even if you don't want to."

"This contains my own understanding of the primordial power, as well as some power application experiences provided by former awakened individuals. You can see it by contacting it with your mental energy." After saying this, the girl took out a light golden crystal and handed it to Jiang Jing.

"I need someone to protect me?" Jiang Jing, with a strange look in his eyes, thought for a moment, then accepted the golden crystal from the girl's hand without refusing.

Seeing Jiang Jing accept it, the seriousness in the girl's eyes lessened slightly, and she nodded: "There's one more thing. Did you remember your real name when you awakened your power?"

"Real name." Jiang Jing's eyes flickered slightly.

Jiang Jing accepted the golden crystal, seemingly as a sign of acceptance. The white-haired girl patiently explained, "We Awakeners inherit the original heritage of our ancient ancestors. When we awaken our origins, we may inherit their true names."

"Therefore, when we awakened beings walk in the outside world, we use our true names so that all living beings in heaven and earth can remember our names again, and imprint our true names in the long river of history, so as to completely control the rules represented by the awakened origin and become immortal."

"Of course, nobody does that now."

“My real name is Yan. I use the name Yan when I walk in the outside world. You need one too.”

"I don't remember any real names," Jiang Jing shook his head.

"No? That's a bit of a shame."

"But if it's a code name, you can call me Jing."

"Jing!" the white-haired girl repeated.

Beep beep!! Beep beep!!

Just then, the timer on the white-haired girl's phone rang, startling the previously serious girl. "Oh no, the time's up. We'll talk next time."

With a flash of black shadow, the girl who had just been discussing the secrets of the world's pinnacle power with Jiang Jing vanished instantly, leaving Jiang Jing stunned.

"Pfft!! Haha..." In the distance, the black-haired beauty saw this scene and burst into laughter again. Her expression was very strange, which made Jiang Jing feel confused and he couldn't understand what made her laugh.

"Uh... is this beautiful lady really that funny?" Jiang Jing asked curiously.

"Haha...ha...do you...do you know...why she suddenly left just now?" The black-haired beauty suppressed her laughter and looked at Jiang Jing with a smile.

Jiang Jing shrugged and shook his head.

"The online animated series 'Snow Night Shura's One-Slash Slash' will air at 1:30 PM today. Xiao Yan even set an alarm for herself so she wouldn't miss it."

"Hahahaha... Can you imagine a girl who tries so hard to be serious, strictly demands that her behavior conform to adults, and possesses power beyond gods and demons, suddenly running back to watch cartoons halfway through a serious conversation?"

"Hahahaha...I'm not going to say anymore...I'm dying of laughter...hahaha..." Amidst the laughter, the black-haired beauty waved to Jiang Jing and disappeared in a flash.

Standing still, Jiang Jing tossed the golden crystal in his hand, a faint smile on his face: "A girl who has awakened the so-called power of the ancestral human race, a nine-tailed fox demon, interesting."

After emerging from the sealed space that day, Jiang Jing noticed that someone was observing him.

This observation is not done through the eyes, but through various channels and devices, such as roadside electronic eyes, passersby, and government records.

It seems that they want to analyze his personality, character, and other aspects through his daily behavior. Beyond the surface observations, there is also a force that hangs over Kyoto and is omnipresent.

Jiang Jing immediately located the villa behind Shuigao Mountain, where he saw a dark power like a black hole and a powerful demonic aura.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

And the river view is that abyss that can swallow everything.

Whether it's malicious or benevolent, as long as their gaze or attention falls on him, his spirit will sense it.

So while the white-haired girl was observing and watching Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing's vision, which transcends mediums, was also observing her, such as the pile of games, figurines, comics, and light novels in her villa.

……

May 15th, Saturday, sunny.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and the temperature outside had already reached 32 or 33 degrees Celsius under the scorching sun, but room 101 of Sakura-sou was quite cool.

Today is a peaceful day, as always.

In the river-view room, Shiina Mashiro, dressed in a plain sleeveless long dress, sat at a low table, intently drawing a manga. Original artwork was scattered all over the table and floor.

Of the seven cats of varying sizes, the black cat wanted the other six to lie in the corner, sleeping soundly with a comfortable look on their faces.

Jiang Jing lay lazily on the floor, one hand behind his head, holding the golden crystal, his mental energy probing into it to study the information inside, while the other hand held his phone and scrolled through Weibo.

On Jiang Jing's belly, the white cat Xiao Guang also lay lazily, just like him, occasionally pressing his belly with its paws.

Meanwhile, the computer was on, playing a very lyrical instrumental piece, creating a very pleasant atmosphere in the room.

Jiang Jing's Weibo was very lively at this time because he posted a color illustration of Unit-01, which he drew and Shiina Mashiro colored.

This was the first post he made after registering and verifying his author account on Weibo. Immediately, his fans clicked in excitedly and were drawn to Unit-01.

The ferocious and domineering appearance, the type of mecha never seen before, and Shiina Mashiro's astonishingly realistic drawing skills, gave everyone a strong impact.

Especially noteworthy is the image of Unit-01, depicted as a torn-up Night Angel standing amidst the ruins of a city, drenched in blood, rampaging and roaring towards the sky.

Many people feel a sense of realism when they look at this painting, and even hear a faint, ferocious roar in their minds, followed by a tremor rising from their tailbone, leaving them deeply shocked.

"What kind of work is this? I've never heard of 'EVA'. Could it be that Shinten-sensei's next work is going to be a mecha story?"

"It should be. Didn't the artist, Kamiten, annotate this drawing as part of the manga series EVA?"

"This drawing is amazing. I'm really looking forward to the manga, but Mr. Shentian, I strongly hope that you finish the Toradora series before creating this manga."

"Upstairs +1. I think Mr. Shentian, please don't get distracted. Please finish writing the Toradora series first. We are all looking forward to the next story."

"Everyone, I think you're too optimistic. Based on my past experience, Mr. Kami is already deeply engrossed in creating new works. As for the later Toradora series, well, that's a long shot. I've seen plenty of such delays."

"None of that matters. I just want to ask Mr. Kamiten, will you be at the Toradora! Volume 3 release event on the 25th? I really want your autograph."

“Yes, Teacher Shentian, when we called the authorities, they only gave us vague answers like ‘you might,’ ‘probably,’ ‘maybe,’ ‘should,’ or ‘perhaps.’ It was too perfunctory.”

"Oh, right, Mr. Kamiten, if you show up, I'll book a flight over. My sister and I both really love Toradora! By the way, my sister is very pretty... and she has a loli voice (seductive)."

"Enough of this. I'm offering a million-dollar reward for your residence. What manga are you drawing? Once I find out where you live, I'll lock you in a dark room until you finish writing Toradora!"

"Hahaha... The person upstairs is hilarious."

"Cough... Take a closer look at its ID, [Electronic Keyboard, ?]. The person upstairs is a real female tycoon, and she's not kidding. You know the up-and-coming writer Yamada Elf last year, right? She had her address found by a female tycoon who then bribed her editor to lock her up. She could only stay at home writing every day until she finished that series and was finally freed."

"Wow, is it really that ruthless? But I strongly support the rich woman's actions."

"Yes, does anyone know Shentian's address? Tell me quickly."

“I also strongly support him not doing his proper job, not writing novels properly and instead drawing comics.”

"Yes, find him and lock him up. He's not allowed to come out until he finishes writing the entire Toradora series."

"I support it too! We need to find him quickly, lock him up, and make him write novels. Also, the signed works you promised us have been delayed for so long, and they still haven't been mailed to us."

"Mmm... Yui is right, we agreed on autographs."

"That's enough, you two. It seems that Teacher Shentian didn't agree to this. Also, hurry up and go practice. Stop slacking off here."

"Oh my, what snacks did you bring today?"

"Strawberry Cream Cake".

"Wow, I want to eat!"

"Wait a minute, let's clean up the activity room first before we eat."

With the appearance of these lively characters, the serious topic suddenly veered off course.

“Mashiro, someone said they’re going to lock me up. What do you suggest we do?” Jiang Jing stroked his chin and turned to look at Shiina Mashiro.

"Who's going to lock up Sorata?" Shiina Mashiro looked up blankly.

“A wealthy woman said she would lock me in her house and make me write novels every day.”

Instantly, Shiina Mashiro shifted her gaze, sat up straight, and said seriously, "When she arrives, we'll execute Plan C."

"This suggestion seems good." Jiang Jing thought about it seriously.

"Ugh! How boring, junior." Just then, Misaki Kamiigusa poked her head out of the window and leaned weakly on the windowsill.

"What happened to you, senior? You've been boiled." Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro were both taken aback when they rarely saw this side of Kamiigusa Misaki.

"Junior, Mashiro, shall we go out and play?" Kawai Kusami looked listless as she leaned against the windowsill.

"There's nothing fun to do outside, is there?" Jiang Jing didn't want to move.
