My future updates weekly.

Chapter 16 The Fire Source Rules of the Sunburners
At the breakfast shop, Jiang He drank the hot and sour soup in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth and saw the white crane beside him drooling with envy, which made him feel much better.

Cool!
Let the future learn what the right to privacy really is!
Just as he was in a good mood, the conversation of the guests at the next table caught his attention.

"...Someone died on Yuteng Road last night, did you know?"

"I know, I heard it was two kids who died kneeling on the ground. It was a terrible death. I don't know who did it, it's so cruel."

“I have inside information. The police station searched all night yesterday but couldn’t find the murderer. However, they did find out that the two kids were involved in some shady dealings, including theft, prostitution, and even murder… Because they were unawakened women, they used their supernatural abilities to cover it up and didn’t attract attention.”

"Holy crap, is this a child?... Karma's coming."

"The police station thinks so too; they currently suspect it was a revenge killing."

Hearing the conversation of the guests next to him, Jiang He's smile vanished.

Because of what Bai He had said about the future, he is now extremely sensitive to these kinds of murder cases, especially those involving superhumans.

Extraordinary abilities, murder, revenge.

It's as if the future of disorder and rampage, as described by the white crane, is gradually becoming a reality.

Jiang He felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Bai He's voice echoed in my mind: "This is just the beginning. As long as there are superhumans, this kind of incident cannot be stopped. Instead, it will gradually become the norm."

"If we don't want Uncle Cui and the others to become victims of this kind of incident... there's only one way to go: become stronger."

"Ah."

My good mood was ruined by the murder.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang He went to school with Chi Zhilei. He didn't pay much attention to what she said along the way, only occasionally responding with a few words.

The two arrived at the school at 7:51 a.m.

Wei Sheng had been waiting for a long time and led the two to the playground.

Next to the playground, there is a training ground made of special fireproof materials, which is the training ground that Du Lingwei used a couple of days ago.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Wei Sheng explained.

"To switch to the Fire Controller class, you need to meet three conditions."

"1. The extraordinary energy level is no lower than G level."

"Second: The [Flame Envoy] or the [Sun Burner] will consume their own fire source to condense a fire seed for you to refine."

"Three: Control the fire, merge the fire, and amplify the flames..."

"Because the intensity of the first fire a fire master absorbs will affect the power of the flames in the future, Principal Zhong specially spent time yesterday to condense a unique fire for you."

"I've already informed Principal Zhong; she'll be here soon to help you refine the fire seed."

"clear."

Jiang He nodded in agreement, but what he was thinking was—this was too similar to the ritual requirements of the rumor-mongers.

No wonder Bai He said that the "rumor-monger" profession he created was just a clumsy imitation of Principal Zhong...

"You think that's all?"

The sound of a white crane echoed in my mind.

He stood in front of Jiang He and transmitted his voice, "Teacher Wei didn't tell you... Of course, he also doesn't know that there is a hidden rule in the Burning Sun series of professions—the [Fire Source Rule]."

"The first spark absorbed by a transcendent being will be controlled by the source of that spark from whichever spark it originates. This connection will not weaken with each advancement in rank; on the contrary, it will deepen with each advancement in rank."

"Even if they become A-level superhumans, as long as the source of the fire has a thought, they can directly take the fire source for their own use, or even detonate it and be engulfed in flames."

"……What?!"

Jiang He was shocked and almost lost control of his expression.

The Burner class series actually has these kinds of rules?

In that case, wouldn't all the extraordinary individuals who have switched to fire control be doing all the work for the source of fire, namely Teacher Zhong?
Even life and death depend on Teacher Zhong's single thought?
Who would dare to switch jobs then?!
"Otherwise what? Extraordinary achievements always come at a price. Do you think others would be so kind as to share their created profession with you so easily?"

Bai He sneered, "What's free is often the most expensive."

"..." Jiang He suddenly didn't want to switch to the Fire Controller class anymore.

However, since he had already said it, he couldn't cancel the job change without a reason.

Moreover, since the white crane didn't stop him before, it means he had a solution.

Jiang He looked at Bai He. Sure enough, a smile played on his lips: "However, you are an exception—"

"Teacher Zhong may not know that above the fire source rules of the [Burning Sun], the S-rank profession [Karmic Red Lotus] is the true master of raging fire."

"It can replace the fire source and take the source of all fire upon itself."

"I am precisely the only [Red Lotus of Karmic Fire] in this era."

"Not only can I help temper your flame and increase its intensity, but because I am a heroic spirit you summoned, I do not have the ability to control your flame..."

"In this way, you are essentially outside the rules and become an unrestricted, free fire controller."

"even……"

A hint of mockery flickered in the white crane's eyes.

"If you are the first to switch to the [Red Lotus of Karmic Fire] class, you might even be able to turn the fire back on you and turn Teacher Zhong into a fire slave."

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"I see……"

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.

Having a future self can eliminate occupational hazards and enhance the source of motivation.

In this case, fire control would be a powerful approach with no side effects.

Yes, you can change jobs.

As for the backlash and the source of the fire, let's not even talk about the fact that he has no grudge against Teacher Zhong.

According to the consensus of the people of Zhongzhou City, Teacher Zhong, as a peak A-level superhuman, will be able to break through to S-level in a few years.

How could I possibly have changed jobs earlier than Teacher Zhong?

"Innocent."

Bai He could guess Jiang He's thoughts, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

They're just children who haven't grown up yet.

After experiencing some more things, you'll naturally understand.

……

Not long after, a woman with fiery red hair arrived at the school playground.

To be honest, even after listening to Bai He say so much and seeing Zhong Honglian's gentle expression, Jiang He didn't feel much aversion.

Although she left a backdoor in the [Burning Sun] profession, it's not incomprehensible—no one wants their students to become a weapon pointed at them in the end.

As long as she doesn't use this ability, then the so-called Fire Source Rules can be considered non-existent.

and……

Jiang He's gaze fell on Zhong Honglian's back.

A girl with equally red hair followed her over.

This is... Du Lingwei!

"Jiang He, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Zhong Honglian said. "This is Du Lingwei, who is also your classmate in the top class."

"To upgrade your Fire Controller class, you need a constant supply of fire... I don't have much time left. After you change classes, Du Lingwei might help you gather fire and upgrade your class."

"Hello," Du Lingwei said.

Before Jiang He could respond, Chi Zhilei jumped out and raised her hand.

"Teacher Zhong, I am the Flame Envoy, and I can also help Jiang He condense a flame!"

“With your meager fire source…” Zhong Honglian chuckled.

"I don't care, I can do it too! You can't exclude me!" Chi Zhilei grabbed Zhong Honglian's arm and acted spoiled.

Zhong Honglian, unable to resist being pestered any longer, nodded helplessly: "Alright, alright, then you can all come together."

"Hehe." Chi Zhilei let go of Jiang He's hand and smiled, "Let's start the job change!"

Jiang He nodded hesitantly: "Okay..."

Out of his sight, Baihe looked at that familiar figure, gently touched the exposed wound on his neck, and lowered his eyes.
