The giant beneath Ilya let out a low growl, then leaped off the cliff hundreds of meters high.

boom!!

The giant, with its powerful body, crashed into the snow-covered forest, creating a crater several meters wide, before soaring into the sky and landing hundreds of meters away.

"Have you cultivated to the peak of the third level of the sword technique?" Jiang Jing's will flashed in the void and then disappeared.

Just as he said earlier, after the three girls had the ability to protect themselves, he withdrew the wooden sword mark and would not reappear, but would only watch silently from behind.

Now we'll see what's revealed when the Fifth Holy Grail War reaches its climax a few years from now, to judge whether this world truly needs to exist.

A few years is but a month to Jiang Jing in the outside world. If he feels that this world no longer needs to exist, he can destroy it with a single punch, along with the Abyss Peak expert who is reincarnating and proving the Great Dao within it.

Having reviewed the information collected by Illya's mark over the past few years, Jiang Jing's consciousness shifted and he appeared at the location of the mark possessed by Rin Tohsaka.

The eleven-year-old girl had grown into a graceful young woman, especially her long, straight legs clad in black stockings, which were quite eye-catching. Since it was Sunday and she didn't have to go to school, the girl was happily making breakfast while swinging her pigtails at home.

"He's also reached the third level of the Demonic Sword Cultivation, but he's actually condensed the Asura Battle Body ahead of schedule. Interesting." Jiang Jing's consciousness, having seen the mark information, flashed faintly before disappearing.

"Ok?"

Rin Tohsaka paused, a look of confusion on her face, and looked around: "Strange, I think I sensed your presence just now?"

As if she had just thought of something, Rin Tohsaka put down the half-fried egg with a look of delight and reached under her neck to take out the two-centimeter-long miniature wooden sword pendant that she always wore.

A surge of spiritual power enveloped the wooden sword, and Rin Tohsaka's face immediately showed disappointment.

Because in her mental perception, the pendant in her hand was just an ordinary piece of wood, and it no longer had the ability to allow him to enter that space with a thought.

"Sigh... I wonder when I'll be able to store enough energy to communicate with my senior." Rin Tohsaka sighed, and her pleasant mood, which was originally due to today being a day off, suddenly turned gloomy.

She received the message left by Jiang Jing the next day when she entered the space, and she never saw Jiang Jing again after that. A year and a half ago, the little wooden sword really turned into a wooden sword and lost its former magical power.

What Rin Tohsaka regrets most is that she was unable to see her senior one last time; there were many things she wanted to say, but by the time she wanted to say them, the opportunity had passed.

…………

When Jiang Jing's consciousness descended upon Matou Sakura, he found the events unfolding there quite interesting.

Three years have passed, and ten-year-old Matou Sakura has grown up quite a bit, especially the slightly protruding breasts in front of her that are unusual for a girl her age.

With her long purple hair cascading over her shoulders, Matou Sakura wore a gentle smile on her fair and pretty face as she ate her breakfast with a composed and well-mannered air.

On the side of the long dining table, eleven-year-old Shinji Matou with blue hair ate his breakfast timidly, like a wronged little wife, not daring to lift his head.

After Jiang Jing's words of advice, Matou Sakura did not choose to move out of the Matou family home, but instead continued to live there as if nothing had happened that night.

However, for the past three years, Shinji Matou, who is a year older than her, has lived in constant fear. He would slip and fall on flat ground, fall into a ditch halfway down the road, and be hit by a flowerpot that suddenly fell down when he walked past someone's house.

It's as if he's plagued by bad luck; he encounters all sorts of unfortunate things.

He has suffered countless injuries, both major and minor, over the past three years. The most serious injuries were several times that nearly killed him. This kind of life has almost driven him crazy.

Zouken Matou wasn't blind to this strange phenomenon; he even knew the reason behind it, but he simply observed it coldly without saying anything, appearing completely unaware.

By this time, Kiri Sakura had finished her breakfast. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and smiled as she looked at Matou Zouken across from her, saying obediently, "Grandpa, I'm full. You and my brother can continue eating."

Across the long table, Zouken Matou's withered face broke into a kind smile as he asked with concern, "So fast? If it's not enough, have the servants add some more?"

Sakura Matou was very obedient. She shook her head and said softly, "No need, I'm going down to cultivate, Grandpa."

After speaking, Matou Sakura smiled and glanced at Matou Shinji to the side, then got up and left, going upstairs to her room to prepare for meditation and training.

After Matou Sakura left, Shinji Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, as if the girl from before had not been human but a demon that had frightened him.

Shinji Matou cautiously looked up at Zouken Matou: "Grandpa, am I really not allowed to practice magic?"

Zouken Matou glanced at this useless descendant and suddenly smiled: "It's not that there's no way, but you're still young. Let's talk about it in a few years."

“Really?” Shinji Matou exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, you can start learning some of the theoretical knowledge of magic today. As for actual practice, you should be able to do it in a few years when you go to high school."

Just as Zouken Matou finally agreed to let Shinji Matou learn about the family's magic, Sakura Matou, back in her room, looked around at the air with delight and excitedly spun around.

"Senior, you've arrived? I knew you were here..."

Her strength was not enough to sense Jiang Jing's presence, but through the wooden sword she carried close to her neck and her increasingly clear mind as her strength increased, she had a feeling that Jiang Jing had appeared while she was eating breakfast.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she called out, Jiang Jing did not appear. She was only somewhat surprised by the extent of the girl's twisted mind.

"A 21st-level AT field... Could it be that she's been using Zouken Matou and the others to hone her mind these past few years? This kind of approach..."

"Hehe... I'm kind of looking forward to it."

In Jiang Jing's eyes, the three girls, Illya, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Matou, are actually all about the same in terms of talent.

However, Illya, with her ambiguous and unwavering mindset, and Rin Tohsaka, with her strength, pride, and never-give-up attitude, are a cut above the rest. In this respect, the gloomy and brooding Sakura Matou is much weaker, and in the end, her development will probably be less successful than the other two.

However, it seems that because of his intervention, he has instilled some ideas in her, and now this girl, whose personality was already dark and gloomy, has become even more extreme, and her mind has almost been completely blackened and twisted.

But deep within the dark soul that can corrupt, break down, and transform a person into a demon, what unwavering belief holds her in upholding her last vestige of conscience?

The endless darkness cleansed and tempered the soul, making its own light shine ever brighter, and thus the prelude to the light of the soul appeared.

With such a soul combined with the idealistic AT field, not to mention arcane cultivation, Matou Sakura is already far superior to Tohsaka Rin and Illya, who are training diligently in the traditional way.

However, as the saying goes, taking the wrong path is dangerous. Although she improved her strength the fastest, she could completely collapse if she was not careful, which is somewhat similar to Jiang Jing who chose to become the dark side back then.

…………

The next day, in the morning, Jiang Jing, who was late, had just entered the classroom when the first class ended. After watching the teacher leave the classroom, Jiang Jing looked at Chi Tong with a strange expression.

"What happened? Tohka skipped class today?"

Akame glanced around, her lips moving slightly as she spoke into Jiang Jing's ear: "Something happened to Tohka last night."

“Yesterday she said that the ‘she’ in her mind was a bit active, so after school we didn’t go to Sakura Apartment, but went to the association’s base.”

"Who knew that as soon as she arrived at the training ground, she unleashed her spiritual power and became a different person, wearing a black and purple spiritual outfit. Her new personality was full of aggression, and it took a little time to subdue her."

"Tohka is currently resting at the base to calm the turbulent spiritual energy within her, and we'll also see how to deal with the other version of herself inside her."

"That's not right. Tohka wasn't stimulated at all yesterday, was she? How could it have reversed?" Jiang Jing was puzzled. He knew about the Heavenly Fragrance inside Tohka. Normally, wouldn't it only reverse after Tohka experienced a strong and intense stimulus?

"There was no stimulation, and Tohka was perfectly fine before school ended." Akame was also a little puzzled and shook her head, unsure.

Jiang Jing nodded: "I see, we'll see next time."

After saying that, Jiang Jing put the matter out of his mind, took out his phone, logged into his WeChat account, and saw four strangers requesting confirmation.

"Uh... I just told her I needed to talk to her and asked her to add me on WeChat, but all four of them showed up."

Last night, Jiang Jing remembered the music problem at Sakura-sou Studio, so he sent a message to Hirasawa Yui, one of his number one fans on Weibo, asking her to add him on WeChat.

He planned to check how well the four girls were practicing, and see if they could play the music together effectively. This way, he could have their help in creating animation music in the future, which would make things much easier for him.

Although he had written a special intelligent software for synthesizing music, electronic is still electronic. Not to mention the possibility of live performances, it always falls short in terms of creating atmosphere.

Thinking about things, Jiang Jing confirmed the friend requests from all four of them and added a note to each person's name, just like on Weibo.

Just as the river view was confirmed, a message came from the other end with a ding-dong sound.

Yui: "I'm Yui Hirasawa, are you Kanda-senpai? (happy) jpg"

Before Jiang Jing could recover, the other three girls sent him messages. They should have finished class by then, so they replied immediately.

Timid Mio: "Hello, Kanda-senpai."

Tsumugi Zhuangzhuang: "Hello, senior. I heard from Wei that you wanted to see us?"

Forehead Ryu: "Hello... Kanda-senpai, how are you?"

Jiang Jing smiled and typed, "You can roughly guess their personalities from how they greet each other."

"I have now set up an animation studio, and the only thing I need now is people to handle the music, mainly responsible for recording the opening and ending themes of the works."

"Of course, you don't need to be responsible for the song creation right now. You just need to play it according to the score."

"You guys discuss this and give me an answer by noon. If you're interested, I'll send you a musical score to try."

After typing it out, Jiang Jing copied it and sent it to the four people.

Chapter 282 Jiang Jing: The Conference of the Gods' Expedition? No time, busy.

“Ritsu…Mio…you’ve all received the message, right?”

As soon as the last class of the morning ended, Hirasawa Yui took her lunch and ran to the class next door where Akiyama Mio and her classmates were. There, Tainaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio had already put the two desks together.

The composed Akiyama Mio gestured to Hirasawa Yui not to rush, and after she sat down, she said, "We've seen them, let's wait for them to arrive before we talk about it."

Before long, Kotobuki Tsumugi, whose eyebrows were a bit thick, also came over carrying a lunchbox and said happily, "Yui, Mio, I brought some delicious egg puff ice cream today. You can try it after school."

"Huh?? Didn't you receive a message from Kanda-senpai?" Ritsu Tainaka, who had also been excited all morning, looked at Tsumugi Kotobuki with a puzzled expression.

"I received it." Kotobuki Tsumugi nodded.

For Ritsu Tainaka and her classmates, who are still high school students, it is an exciting and inspiring thing that their music club, which is nominally affiliated but has never rehearsed, has been invited by the novelist they admire.

However, this didn't appeal to Kotobuki Tsumugi, who came from a wealthy family; she found it much more interesting to have afternoon tea with her classmates and friends every day.

"So what do you guys think? Should we join in?" Ritsu Tainaka asked her teammates for their opinions, even though she was very tempted.

"Yes." Hirasawa Yui was the first to raise her hand.

"I... I'm thinking about it, but is it okay for us?" Akiyama Mio hesitated.

Ritsuichi Tainaka smiled and said, "So you've thought about it, and I agree." After saying that, all three of them looked at Tsumugi Kotobuki, who had also sat down.

"If everyone participates, I'll go. It seems like it would be quite interesting," Kotobuki Tsumugi said without objection.

Ritsu Tainaka made the decision and said happily, "Alright, now that everyone in the Light Music Club has approved it, I'll go back to you now, senpai."

“Wait a minute, are you sure we can do this? We haven’t even rehearsed once yet.”

Akiyama Mio quickly stopped her, after all, the semester was almost over and their club hadn't rehearsed even once, and even with the sheet music sent by Jiang Jing, she still felt unsure.

"Don't worry, Mio, there won't be any problems," Hirasawa Yui said confidently from the side.

As Akiyama Mio's gaze swept over her, Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled slightly: "I think we can give it a try."

"Alright, Mio, you always overthink things. Why don't we just try and see if it works? There's no harm in it," Ritsu Tainaka said nonchalantly.

"Alright, I've already messaged my senior. Let's start rehearsing this afternoon once he sends over the sheet music. We're sure we can do it," Ritsu Tainaka said confidently.

“Yes, we’re fine, haha…” Hirasawa Yui laughed happily, but her smile always gave people a silly feeling.
