"..."

"All I want to know right now is when we'll settle our share of the money," Jiang Jing said, shrugging.

"..."

Jiang Jing's words not only left Uemura Yuriko speechless, but even Shiina Mashiro, who was quietly drawing to the side, paused in her hand upon hearing them.

P.S.: First update! As usual, please vote! And thank you all for your generous donations! ^-^

Seeing so many brothers vote every day gives me more and more motivation to write. Thank you all for your support.

The short daily routine is about to end, time for a fierce battle to vent the panic I felt last night while coding because of the earthquake.

If you're handsome, say something here so I can see how many good-looking guys are here ^_^.

Chapter 59 True Spirit Rift

Just after seeing Yuriko Uemura off, before Jiang Jing could even return to his room, his old cell phone rang.

"Onii-chan, I heard your school has a nine-day holiday for May Day. Why haven't you come back yet? Yuko misses you so much."

"Onii-chan... Onii-chan..."

"I'm listening, I'm listening..." The voice was too loud, so Jiang Jing moved the phone away from his ear a little.

Upon hearing the cute girl's voice on the phone, Jiang Jing instinctively showed doting affection, after all, this was the younger sister he had taken care of since childhood in this life.

"So, Onii-chan, when are you going back to Fukuoka?"

“…Something’s come up here, so I won’t be going back during the holiday,” Jiang Jing said instinctively.

Although he has perfectly integrated into this life, Jiang Jing still feels a bit awkward when he goes to see his parents in this life, especially since they are somewhat unreliable.

"What... you're not coming back? Onii-chan, no! Yuko misses you..." The other person's reaction was quite intense.

But just then, the girl's coquettish voice on the phone stopped abruptly, replaced by the voice of a middle-aged man suppressing his anger, who said in an unquestionable tone, "Kanda, you can just stay there and focus on your work. You don't need to come home."

"..." Hearing the dial tone of the phone being decisively hung up, Jiang Jing couldn't help but blink.

The voice and tone made it clear that he was Yuko's extremely doting father in this life, but thankfully he appeared and interrupted Yuko's entanglement.

"Junior, what is this? Is this your super invincible Wolverine?"

As soon as Jiang Jing entered the room, Misaki Kamiigusa rushed up to him, holding several of his original manuscripts of Unit-01, and asked him questions with great interest and excitement in her eyes.

And his room was a mess again. Shiina was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and was drawing on his bed. There were manuscript papers all over the bed and the floor, while the white cat Hikaru was squatting in the corner of the bed, looking at her hostilely.

There was a pile of game discs on the floor that he had bought before, which Misaki had brought with her; clearly, Misaki had been looking for games.

The other six cats inside were also playing, running around and frolicking, creating a lively and chaotic scene.

With Misaki jumping down from the second floor every now and then, it's safe to say that Jiang Jing's room is the liveliest place in Sakura Dormitory every day, making even a lazy bum like him uncomfortable.

However, even when he felt speechless, Jiang Jing also thought that such lively days were not bad. Although he had long been used to the loneliness of being alone, it did not mean that he liked being alone.

"Oh, this is something I just sketched the other day. Didn't I say I wanted to try drawing comics?" Jiang Jing said casually as he took the manuscript paper and walked into the house.

"Junior, you drew this? I don't remember you ever studying drawing." Even the usually carefree Misaki was taken aback.

“Sorata is amazing, just like me.” Just then, Shiina Mashiro, who was on the bed, turned her head and said.

"Hahahaha... As expected of my junior."

Kamiigusa Misaki suddenly became excited, just like the day Shiina Mashiro discovered that Jiang Jing could keep up with her in terms of talent and wouldn't suddenly be hit hard and disappear. She was overjoyed and pounced on Jiang Jing.

"Hey, senior, were you a koala in your past life?" Jiang Jing reached out and caught Ueiso Misaki, who was lunging at him from across the low table, with a headache. Otherwise, she would have definitely fallen to the ground if he hadn't let her go.

However, just as Jiang Jing reached out to catch Misaki Kamiigusa, Shiina Mashiro and Hikari the white cat behind him turned around to look at him.

"Junior, what's next?" After the initial excitement, Misaki Kamiigusa's attention shifted to EVA, and she asked while looking at the original manuscripts in her hand.

"It's gone."

That's it?

"Of course it's gone if there's no painting," Jiang Jing retorted.

"Have you written the written plan and story script for this manga yet?" Misaki asked with great interest.

"I didn't write it down, but I have a detailed story in my mind."

"Then junior, hurry up and draw it. I want to see it. I feel like this comic is definitely interesting." Misaki urged.

Jiang Jing pressed down on Ueiso Misaki's face, which was leaning closer: "Let's not talk about this for now. Didn't you say you were busy with your new project this morning? Why are you playing games in my room again?"

Misaki's attention was immediately diverted. Remembering the purpose of coming down, she suddenly stood up and shouted energetically, "That's right, it's holiday time now, junior. Holiday time should be for playing more."

"Let's start fighting quickly. Today I'm going to use Demon Slayer to pin you to the ground and grind you into the dirt."

"Stop drawing, Mashiro. Let's play together as a trio. The two of us can take on our junior by ourselves. His combat power has increased too quickly recently. I alone am no match for him."

Shiina Mashiro, who was drawing, stopped abruptly and said decisively, "Okay."

Yesterday, the three of them played games all day. Facing Jiang Jing, whose physique is now terrifying, whose hand speed is like a phantom, and whose nerve reactions are abnormal, the two of them were completely crushed all day.

Then, around noon, Misaki Kamiigusa, who had been thoroughly defeated, grabbed her hair and shouted that Jiang Jing's fighting power had broken through the heavens and was invincible, so she was not playing anymore.

"Junior, do you think you ate some magic beans that boosted your combat power? You're so cunning, not sharing such a good thing with us."

“Mmm…” Shiina Mashiro, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

"Do you think reality is a comic book?" Jiang Jing snapped, flicking each of them on the forehead before standing up amidst their screams.

"Alright, it's lunchtime. What would you like to eat?"

"I want fried chicken nuggets and tempura."

"Meat-wrapped rice".

After lunch, Misaki Kamiigusa, still traumatized by the ordeal, stopped bothering him and Mashiro went about their own business.

Jiang Jing, however, was sitting cross-legged on the backyard porch, leisurely resting his chin on one hand and observing the condition of his body with his eyes closed.

His physical body was constantly strengthening at an astonishing rate, with every cell accumulating extremely refined solar energy, and his entire being was like a black hole, devouring cosmic rays and solar waves from the heavens and earth.

However, because he did not absorb the elemental energy, spiritual energy, and essence that permeated the world, even powerful cultivators and awakened individuals could not detect anything amiss with Jiang Jing at close range.

Simply put, these are two different rule systems: one leans towards the physical world, and the other towards the mysterious and supernatural.

In addition, the Kryptonian cells are extremely introverted, and Jiang Jing uses his mental power to conceal his aura. So, if he doesn't make a move, even if he stands in front of those ordinary powerhouses, they won't be able to tell what Jiang Jing is really like. They will just treat him as an ordinary person.

Jiang Jing then focused his attention on his soul and spiritual power. His current soul state was very peculiar, resembling a three-layered vortex.

At its core is the imperceptible, immortal, eternal, and unique true spirit, surrounded by new souls born in this life, and encircled by a massive amount of spiritual power.

Spiritual power is a basic power that the soul naturally emanates. It can also be said to be another manifestation of soul power. For example, the divine consciousness in the cultivation system and the divine soul power of gods belong to the advanced form of spiritual power.

What's making Jiang Jing frown now is a crack in his true spirit, a wound left when he self-destructed his true body and rushed into the chaotic river of time and space.

There is no way to repair the wounds of the True Spirit; they can only heal slowly over time. Therefore, Jiang Jing's strongest method right now, the power of the True Spirit, cannot be used lightly.

At the same time, because the supreme power emitted by the true spirit during the self-repair process forms a special position with the soul, it invisibly enhances the strength and essence of his soul with its high-dimensional nature at all times.

This allows Jiang Jing to improve his soul at an astonishing speed without needing to cultivate any rule-based spiritual cultivation techniques, which is also the reason why his spiritual power is constantly increasing.

However, because of this, he cannot actively cultivate soul-related techniques, as this would affect the balance between his soul and true spirit. Furthermore, because the true spirit is too powerful, the resulting vortex field would also bind his spiritual power.

For example, at this moment, Jiang Jing was comparable to the third level of the Transcendent Realm. He released a powerful spiritual force that could cover a radius of ten miles, but it could only extend a few meters outside his body.

"Although my mental strength is restricted, there are still ways to leverage this advantage," Jiang Jing thought to himself, stroking his chin.

Once he settled down, Jiang Jing's restless nature resurfaced, and he started thinking about what he could do to improve his strength at this stage.

P.S.: Second update is here! Two more chapters, each 5,000 words long. Almost there! I'll be releasing a massive update as soon as it goes on sale. I'm bursting with energy! ^-^

Chapter 60 Tomorrow Afternoon

The appearance of the Heavenly-level Awakener yesterday, whose level was comparable to that of a pseudo-god, made Jiang Jing, who had been idly drifting through life for more than half a month, take things a little more seriously.

Of course, he didn't sense any danger from that Heavenly Awakener.

Although his current level of superhuman bloodline evolution is equivalent to the early stage of the fourth level of the extraordinary legend, which is four stars.

However, given the extreme power of his Kryptonian bloodline and his understanding and control of power, he didn't take the Heavenly Rank Awakener, who was a whole realm higher than him, seriously at all.

Especially in this world where the level of power and destructive combat ability are completely inconsistent, at close range, the opponent might be directly blasted into dust by Jiang Jing's explosive punch.

With Jiang Jing's strength improving at a rate that changes every day, he has never worried about safety. Now he just habitually wants to enhance and improve his strength in many ways.

Especially someone like him, who came from that place of breeding and exploiting worms, has an amazing instinct for battlefield combat and a life-saving method to unleash terrifying combat power in a short period of time. Once fully engaged in battle, the weight of his murderous aura is earth-shattering.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten something."

Thinking of this, Jiang Jing's attention fell on the inconspicuous faint red dragon pattern on his left arm.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets were being constantly cleansed by Jiang Jing's spiritual energy and the power of light, as if he had completely broken all the internal restrictions of the artifact while sleeping last night.

However, as his mental strength grew too rapidly, he no longer cared about this mental strength consumption, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Now that he had thought of it, Jiang Jing decided to study the soul of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, one of the top ten strongest beings in this world and one of the Two Heavenly Dragons.

Jiang Jing was particularly interested in the several laws-based abilities it possessed innately.

But just then, Shiina Mashiro, wearing a pink short-sleeved dress, barefoot, and carrying a drawing board, walked over and interrupted him.

"Kongtai, the colored version of Unit-01 is finished. Take a look."

During lunch, Misaki Kamiigusa brought up the issue of Eiko's manga again, mainly because the design of Unit-01 was so stunning that she couldn't forget it at first sight, just like Shiina Mashiro back then.

Then, somehow the conversation turned to color, and Misaki asked Mashiro for help. Shiina Mashiro, who was also interested, readily agreed. So, Jiang Jing told her about the color data of Unit-01.

"Oh, let me see." Jiang Jing, whose thoughts were pulled back to reality, opened his eyes, immediately putting aside what he had been thinking about, and took the drawing board that Shiina Mashiro handed him.

"Such a strong sense of three-dimensionality!" When Jiang Jing took the painting and looked at it, a strong sense of realism came over him.

The Evangelion Unit-01 in the painting is predominantly purple, with a slender and menacing shape. Its metallic purple armor is sharply defined, and combined with the ruins of the collapsed building next to it, it exudes a powerful sense of oppressive size.

Even Jiang Jing couldn't help but marvel at Shiina Mashiro's talent in color oil painting, and how such a genius could go and draw comics, and even worse, the kind of third-rate comic artist.

Suddenly, Jiang Jing's heart stirred, and then his gaze fell on Shiina Mashiro, who was squatting in front of him, as he stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong, Sorata? Is the drawing bad?" Shiina Mashiro tilted her head in her signature way, expressionless, looking at Jiang Jing with a blank and cute expression.

"Mashiro, what do you think about us teaming up and drawing EVA together?"
