After confirming the basic enhancement effect, the boy directed some of his star power to his right index finger.

Pale golden lines, resembling miniature circuits, immediately appeared beneath the skin.

He pointed his index finger at a piece of discarded steel bar on the ground, and a beam of energy radiating high concentrations of light and heat shot out, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.

"laugh--"

One end of the steel bar vaporized directly, the fracture surface was smooth and molten glass-like, and a strange smell that made people frown was faintly wafting in the air.

Shun Aragaki gently blew a breath, and the scorching heat quickly subsided, while the stellar energy that had been dissipating gradually drifted back into his chest with each breath.

It can only be said that his current situation is quite troublesome. As the first superhuman in this world, he has to figure everything out on his own, without any ready-made secret manuals or techniques to guide him.

However, according to the settings of countless fantasy novels, extraordinary powers such as magic power, true essence, and magic power should have two basic functions: strengthening oneself and releasing energy. Therefore, star power should naturally be the same.

Then, experiments showed that his conjecture was indeed correct.

The fundamental characteristics of stellar power are life and light and heat. When it circulates within the body, it can strengthen various basic attributes. When it is condensed into a pure beam of energy and emitted outward, it is extremely destructive, just as the sun is both the origin of all creation and possesses the most violent destructive power.

It's hard to say whether these traits are strong or not, or how high the potential of his star power is, but as the starting point of his extraordinary path, Shun Aragaki is still very satisfied with them.

Turning to the edge of the rooftop, the boy subconsciously touched the iron railing blocking his way, feeling an urge to tear it all down with his bare hands.

There was no other reason, simply because he could actually do it, and it seemed very simple.

But thinking about it, I decided against it. There's no need to deliberately cause such damage; it wouldn't be fun if someone fell down because of it later.

With his eyes closed, and aided by the power of the stars, the already surging spiritual energy in the boy's mind expanded outward like an invisible net of light.

The maximum range of this perception is about one kilometer.

Under the spiritual observation, all living beings—from the tree-lined paths of the campus, the gymnasium, the corridors of the teaching buildings, to the shopping center—transform into points of light of varying sizes.

In the extraordinary vision, the aura of these life forms varied in strength, like sparks of fire of different degrees, with the brightest one feeling somewhat familiar.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, the masterpiece of the White Room. The intensity of the aura he exuded even surpassed that of all the adults in the school.

An unpleasant bird cry came from the northern sky. Shun Aragaki's mind stirred slightly, and he directly locked onto the unknown bird with his mind. Then, a wisp of star power transformed into a golden ray of light and flowed out in reverse.

The next moment, the birdsong disappeared, replaced by the sound of something falling to the ground, and a strange smell of something burning wafted in the wind.

Well, this time he tried to control the output power when releasing energy, so only a thin beam of light was emitted, which was enough to leave the bird's corpse behind.

After observing the world for a long time in this form of spiritual perception, the boy, satisfied with the novelty, opened his eyes, and tiny starlight swirled deep within his pupils—

Excitement, shock, and an almost uncontrollable arrogance surged within him, finally settling into a cathartic outburst of madness:

"I am the king of the world!"

Shun Aragaki raised his hand and spread his five fingers towards the western sun.

A gust of wind swept across the rooftop, lifting the hem of the boy's jacket.

Golden-white dust overflowed from her fingertips, like a reverse-flowing Milky Way, slowly rising into the sky.

Hahaha--!!!

When you're overly excited, it might be nice to occasionally do something a bit silly or childish.

Moreover, being unable to extricate oneself from a fantasy is what makes someone a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), while Shun Aragaki plays with true transcendence. Anyone who dares to call him a chuunibyou should try to catch one of his Star Power Beams.

Whistling happily, the boy once again turned his gaze to his personal panel, which only he could view—

He still had a considerable amount of source energy left, so of course he wanted to continue using it.

The mere advancement of [Sun's Kin] to level 6 brought about such a dramatic change for him, so Shun Aragaki naturally looked forward to the effects that his other skills and talents would achieve after their transformation.

Of course, strengthening the four basic attributes is also important before that.

However, just like between levels 11 and 20, where each point of basic attribute enhancement requires two streams of source power, to break through the limits of mortal attributes and reach level 21, the source power required for each point of enhancement thereafter increases to three streams.

Although he was somewhat troubled by the increasing energy consumption of later enhancements, as long as he thought about the transformative effect of breaking through to the transcendent realm, Aragaki Shun naturally wouldn't be stingy in this regard.

【Power: 20→21】

[Constitution: 20→21]

Agility: 20 → 21

[Spirit: 20→21]

[Source Energy: 32 → 20 (Current efficiency: 6 items per month)]

Holding his breath, Shun Aragaki stared intently at every change on the invisible panel with a tense expression.

According to the initial settings when creating the personal panel, as long as the basic attributes reach 21, extraordinary traits will naturally emerge, which may be skills or talents, but will definitely be completely different from the ordinary state.

Therefore, he was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of gains this situation would bring him when all four basic attributes broke through biological limits at the same time.

However, this expectation did not last long, and a startling change suddenly appeared in Shun Aragaki's sight—

On the personal panel, the three talents in the skill bar, namely [Knowledgeable], [Danger Omen], [Immunity to All Poisons], and [Immunity to All Diseases], all began to flash at the same time.

They flickered and flickered, and finally disappeared completely.

That's right, it completely disappeared, leaving not a trace.

If Shun Aragaki hadn't discovered that his intuition could still be used, he might have even doubted whether there was something wrong with his cheat ability.

Meanwhile, in the talent bar, a brand new entry gradually appeared from nothing: [? ? ? ? lv.6 (0/20)]

The next moment, a massive flow of information surged from his personal panel, and the young man immediately understood what was happening—

It turns out that his four basic attributes simultaneously broke through biological limits, causing the four extraordinary traits that should have been born to naturally merge into one. In the process, he also acquired the skill [Extensive Knowledge] and three other talents that had reached biological limits.

Some skills with diverse development possibilities and enormous potential can, after evolving into extraordinary qualities, merge and integrate with similar skills to further enhance their foundation... This was the first time Aragaki Shun had ever heard of such a thing.

However, it makes sense when you think about it. The ultimate goal of the extraordinary path is simply to have everything and be omnipotent. So it's only natural that advanced skills would cover similar skills from top to bottom.

As for the current unnamed talent that evolved from the fusion of four extraordinary traits and the incorporation of four level 5 abilities, what exactly is its effect...? Shun Aragaki activated it easily by instinctively circulating his star power.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light emanated from the boy's body, rendering the surrounding environment sacred and solemn, as if the ground beneath his feet was no longer an ordinary high-rise building, but a temple of gods and Buddhas from mythology.

In this atmosphere where even the air seemed to freeze, Shun Aragaki's body began to grow larger with the golden light, and along the way, he naturally developed some non-human characteristics that only wild beasts possess.

Antlers, scales, fangs, claws, bat wings... Why does it feel like if I keep going like this, I'll turn into one of those indescribable creatures from the Cthulhu mythos?

With this doubt rising in his mind, Shun Aragaki quickly calmed himself down and actively suppressed the appearance of these non-human characteristics. In the end, what appeared on the rooftop was a small giant who was ten feet tall and surrounded by golden light.

The giant's proportions are near perfect, and it exudes a sense of harmony and majesty in every aspect. It doesn't seem like a creature that evolved from humankind, but rather like an existence that descended from fantasy.

After experiencing the power of this form, the boy tried to return to his original form, then shrunk back to a miniature figure about half a meter tall. He repeated this several times to satisfy his curiosity before finally releasing his talent and restoring everything to normal.

After the experiment ended, Shun Aragaki stood there for a moment, pondering. With a thought, the question marks on his character panel disappeared, replaced by the name given to his new talent: [Diamond Glass lv.6 (0/20)]

The term "Vajra" refers to a powerful attendant of the Buddha, named for the vajra (thunderbolt) he wields. In Buddhist terminology, the vajra symbolizes invincible wisdom and true Buddha-nature; therefore, "Vajra" can also refer to diamonds or be used metaphorically to describe someone with a strong physique.

Crystal is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism and is the embodiment of the Medicine Buddha. It can cure diseases and ward off evil spirits, bringing people the blessing of good health.

The Sutra of the Fundamental Vows and Merits of the Medicine Buddha states: "When I attain Bodhi in my next life, may my body be like lapis lazuli, clear and bright inside and out, pure and without blemish, with vast light and towering merit."

Buddhism believes that crystal can make people feel the difficulty of refining truth and gain the strength of perseverance; and because of its gorgeous and ever-changing colors, it gives people artistic beauty and imagination, and can provide inspiration and wisdom.

The reason this ability is named "Diamond Lapis Lazuli" is because this talent, after being combined with other abilities, possesses various characteristics such as disease resistance, poison resistance, intuition, and wisdom.

His passively emitted bio-field can influence the surrounding environment, allowing Shun Aragaki to use his power at will without worrying that his excessive power will cause damage he does not want.

Finally, there's the ability to grow large or small, unleashing ancient genes to reveal animal characteristics, and changing into a form more suited to the present moment according to one's will... In this form, one can unleash combat potential, enhancing strength, physique, speed, and spirit as needed, easily gaining two, three, or even five times the combat power in a short period of time.

Wow, my strength has suddenly increased to such an extent that I suddenly have the illusion that I am invincible.

It seems he needs to hurry up and search online for videos of nuclear weapon explosions, otherwise he's afraid he'll become so arrogant that he'll try to defeat the whole world single-handedly.

300. Neither see nor hear; End of the second semester.

The day after the student council's handover ceremony, Advanced Education will hold its semester's closing ceremony.

According to the arrangements announced by Hoshinomiya Chie, all activities would end that morning, and school would begin.

Then came the short winter break, which lasted from December 23rd to January 3rd, less than two weeks long.

But at least they can get some rest, which is something to look forward to for high school students who have just finished a tough semester.

更不用说,寒假游玩期间还包括12月24日的平安夜、12月25日的圣诞节以及1月1日的新年。

With these three festivals coming one after another, many men and women who are in love, or teachers and students who simply want to have fun and relax, have been looking forward to them for a long time.

Of course, Shun Aragaki doesn't fall into either of these two categories, since whether it's dating or resting, it's not much different from his daily life.

Waking up in the rented apartment, the room was still dark because the curtains and blinds were not yet open, but this certainly did not hinder the boy's vision as a superhuman.

Gently releasing Wang Meiyu and Shiina Hiyori, who had been occupying his left and right sides, Aragaki Shun came to his senses and saw the beautiful girls lying haphazardly on the tatami and sofa, creating a rather spectacular scene.

Hiyori Shiina, Chihiro Shiranami, Meiyu Wang, Miki Yamamura, Mio Ibuki, and Akane Tachibana, a senior student.

This was the first time he had gathered all his lovers together to play around, and the whole space felt much smaller as a result.

However, I did feel refreshed and had no fatigue at all.

"Ugh~ You beast, I must have been blinded by greed yesterday to agree to such an absurd thing as you."

A voice filled with resentment and discontent suddenly rang out. In Shun Aragaki's harem, only Mio Ibuki would speak such arrogant words in such an energetic tone.

But then the sporty girl with short blue hair sat up, looked around sleepily, her pretty face flushed red, and instinctively glared at Aragaki Shun. One of her ahoge (cowlicks) stood up high, making her look very cute.

"Hey you, are you in heat? It's just officially taking over as student council president, it shouldn't be a big deal for you, why were you so excited last night?"

Hearing Ibuki's somewhat gritted-teeth question, Aragaki Shun smiled and reached out to pull the seemingly energetic girl into his arms.

"Hey~ What are you trying to do, Aragaki pervert? It's already morning! We have to go to class today to hear our homeroom teacher talk about things to be aware of during winter break, and then there's the graduation ceremony!"

Sensing the blue-haired girl struggling in fear, Shun Aragaki simply hugged Ibuki tightly, forehead to forehead.

"Don't move, I'm just checking."

He gently silenced the girl's mouth with a kiss, their breaths mingling as they breathed in each other's mouths. Only after she had completely softened did he slowly release her, allowing Ibuki to breathe fresh air normally.

Her watery eyes swept over the bastard in front of her, and the girl felt her body suddenly become unusually hot again.

Ugh—whatever, the worst that can happen is I'll just be late!

"You're too arrogant, you need to be taught a lesson!"

He then pinned Aragaki Shun down in the center of the tatami mat, the blue-haired girl sitting on the man's lap, her eyes seemingly burning with fire.

I don't know why, even though I went along with this weird idea and messed around all night last night, I didn't feel exhausted when I woke up this morning. Instead, I felt a particularly relaxed and comfortable feeling.

Ibuki felt that he was full of energy and in a state that was the best he had ever been in over a decade. He had a real chance to cut down the enemy beneath him.

The thought of this possibility made her hum softly...

.........

Unfortunately, in the end, Ibuki Mio was unable to turn the tide and wash away the shame of her zero win rate.

Even though the commotion caused by the two later woke up Shiina Hiyori and Shiranami Chihiro, the group of six against one still couldn't change their inevitable defeat.

However, Shun Aragaki did confirm his conjecture during this process—

That is to gently inject star power into her body, to baptize her, which can indeed have a strengthening effect.

This was an expected result, since the fundamental characteristics of Star Power are life and light and heat.

Yesterday afternoon, he also caught a sparrow and tried to transfer star power to it through his palm.

However, once this extraordinary energy leaves his body and comes into contact with the outside world, it will exhibit the most violent destructive power. Therefore, apart from improving his grilling skills, Shun Aragaki did not achieve the desired results.

It wasn't until last night, in a moment of excitement, that he pulled all his lovers into a party, and discovered a gentler way to baptize himself.

Ahem~ Anyway, this is pretty good news, meaning that he will be able to help his lover improve her physical fitness through dual cultivation in the future... The effect is great in every way, both for his lover and for Aragaki Shun himself.

He even received a brand new world quest on his personal panel because of this—

[Optional Quest: Immortal's Touch - Ushering in a Great Era of Extraordinary Talents. For each extraordinary individual nurtured in this era, you will receive corresponding rewards.]

Well, the previous optional mission was to leave behind bloodline offspring in this world, and now it's to cultivate extraordinary individuals in this way. That formless and intangible world origin is quite interesting.

With a slight shrug, Shun Aragaki dismissed the idea without much thought.

Although he can now transfer life energy to his lover through intimate contact to enhance her physical fitness, it is not impossible that in the long run, he could directly strengthen them to the human limit of 11 in all attributes.

But let alone the limits of humanity, even the limits of mortals are worlds apart from true transcendence.

Just like conceiving offspring, this kind of task is simply impossible to complete in a short period of time, so let's just leave it as it is and let nature take its course.

Thinking of this, Shun Aragaki looked once again at his now completely revamped personal panel—

Name: Shun Aragaki
