boom!

Mirai Kamishiro quickly jumped back, only to see the goddess caught off guard. Instinctively, she began to fight back, but ended up rolling to the ground. Although she woke up, she was in a sorry state.

"I'm going to kill you!"

A moment later, Pei Xuanran came to her senses. Her cold face was filled with shame and indignation. She stood up and leaped out, grabbing the pen on the table and thrusting it straight at her mortal enemy's brow.

Mirai Kamishiro was amazed by what she saw. The epic armor called the Heaven-Mending Robe was nowhere to be seen. She had to admit that, under such a large-scale attack, the opponent's attack posture had a magnificent and beautiful aesthetic.

Jiang He simply snapped his fingers in response.

The authority from the source of his bloodline instantly robbed his family of all resistance, and Pei Xuanran fell straight to the ground like a curled-up earthworm.

Mirai covered her eyes. From her perspective, she could clearly see the bruises and swellings. She couldn't imagine how long the confrontation in the conference room had lasted.

Jiang He calmly said, "You betrayed us first, refused to give us your inheritance, and as a prisoner, you have no self-awareness whatsoever, constantly referring to yourself as a mortal. Do you think you're some kind of immortal god from the mythological era?"

A time loop has been initiated.

The power of time descended, its radiance enveloping the other, and everything from last night was instantly recreated.

"stop……"

Pei Xuanran's eyes suddenly went vacant, and she fell into a long breakdown.

Kamishiro Mirai, embarrassed to look any longer, got down to business and said, "Senior, Principal Tachibana said that the company's director, Takikawa Masato, has roughly located the approximate location of the Colorless Sword. He fully supports you becoming the monarch, but the specific details should be discussed when the Blue Monarch attends the four-school martial arts competition at the school festival."

Jiang He nodded. It wasn't that Wuhe and Jujian insisted on sending messages through Shindai Mirai, but rather that he hadn't had time to reply last night.

Half a day passed.

Pei Xuanran struggled to her feet, staring intently at the mortal before her.

"I will never let you go."

Jiang He sat up and took a step forward.

"stand at attention."

As the distance closed, Pei Xuanran felt goosebumps all over her body. She tried desperately to back away, but in the end, she stood firmly in place, as if displaying an object, with an upright posture.

"You don't seem to be that honest."

Pei Xuanran was stunned, then looked completely bewildered.

Jiang He turned her head and said, "Find me a coat."

Mirai shrugged, turned and left the meeting room. Her senior might have really asked her to find clothes, or it might have been an excuse to get rid of the others, but in any case, she didn't want to come back and witness the battle.

“I have an older brother,” Jiang He said. “He was born as a wolf-like demon. When he was young, he had to guard the house and hunt in the water. He was really overwhelmed, so he found a wolf of his own kind and planned to have it stay by my side.”

"Perhaps because he knew himself and his enemy, my brother trained very systematically. It's just a pity that he was caught in a long period of bad weather. Although he was very reluctant, he still killed his own kind to prevent me from starving to death."

"And during training, I watched from the sidelines the whole time."

Jiang He patted the other person on the shoulder, "As for the results, you've already seen them for what they are like last night."

Pei Xuanran's face gradually turned extremely pale.

"Goddess?" Jiang He tilted her head. "Given the level of approval you've shown, I suggest you recognize your true nature as soon as possible."

“My soul will never yield,” Pei Xuanran replied indignantly.

Jiang He nodded and said, "Sit down."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanran immediately scanned her surroundings. The next moment, she felt extremely annoyed that she had actually started looking for a chair, but then, only pure shock remained on her usually cold face.

In the conference room.

Pei Xuanran squatted down in astonishment, and at the same time, an unparalleled sense of shame erupted within her.

"How could such a thing be true?"

"The answer is obvious." Jiang He calmly took out a pot of wine and sipped it. The matter about Lao Hei was true, but the so-called training method was naturally not that magical. The truth was that his will descended and controlled the royal subjects and their families.

Pei Xuanran was deeply shaken; she was unwilling to accept this outcome no matter what.

"I want to hear you tell me about legendary secret techniques and inheritances yourself," Jiang He said.

Pei Xuanran's face flushed red. If the training was truly effective, then the other party was simply condescendingly bestowing charity upon him.

Before she could answer, Jiang He continued, "If you don't want to, that's fine. It's not something you absolutely have to do. I'm more interested in choosing a courtesy name for you. Xuanran, how about Chenglu?"

After Jiang He finished speaking, she shook her head and commented:

"It's nothing, I've treated you too well."

Pei Xuanran's eyes blazed with fury.

Just then, the conference room door opened, and Mirai Kamishiro returned carrying a set of clothes. Upon seeing the goddess's current figure, she couldn't help but blink.

"Don't wait for me to urge you."

"clear."

After a short while, Mirai Kamishiro finished changing and looked herself over. The school uniform was a bit too tight for the goddess.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Pei Xuanran said coldly.

You'll find out next month.

Jiang He took out the original copy of the Hidden Soldiers' Seal and put the other party into it.

In fact, he had already extracted the first half of the Life-Taking Technique from Pei Xuanran last night while she was in a daze, but she might not remember it.

"At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), one picks up a pen to steal heavenly secrets, and secretly changes one's fate, causing even ghosts and gods to suspect."

"The Vermilion Bird carries away calamity and burns the old contracts; the Black Armor bears the inscriptions and brands the new registers."

"The vermilion on the Book of Yin and Yang is pale, and the gold seal in the Book of the Three Realms is askew."

"If you ask who this body is, the bronze mirror reflects its essence without leaving a trace."

—Legendary Secret Technique: Life-Stealing Technique.

Since it's only the first half, its current effect is limited to stealing fate and destiny; things like identity are secondary.

Without the foundation and support of abilities related to fate and cause, the activation of this secret technique is extremely complicated. The timing of the event, the ritual implements, the fasting ceremony and hand seals, the target's birth date and marriage, and even the price that the initiator must bear are all indispensable.

Jiang He looked at the future of the God Era.

If he obtains the crown of the colorless monarch, he can strip away the fate of the opponent's third combat section chief and place it in another person. Through a series of coincidences, the target is very likely to grow to the level predetermined by fate.

Of course, this also includes the calamities that are inherent in the process, but players are powerless to change their initial identity given by the origin, and the players themselves have no predetermined fate, presenting a kind of freedom.

It is quite obvious that the method Lilith used to transfer Zhuang Ya's Dragon Tribulation to him was similar in principle to the Life-Taking Technique.

"The Imperial Censor's lineage is quite something."

Jiang He pondered to himself that the Supervisor was inclined towards the ancient profession of sorcerer, specializing in fields such as fortune telling and celestial phenomena. As one of the prominent figures of the Great Xia Dynasty, his secret techniques possessed a strange and powerful strength.

"Even the best swimmers drown. Is it because he believed in fate that Mr. X chose to end his own life? He probably couldn't have foreseen the resurgence of the origin."

"However, with the Life-Catching Technique, if combined with the power of destiny, Aya's Three Tribulations of the Dragon can be transferred out."

Jiang He didn't think there were many things that could give him a headache, but the Three Tribulations of the Dragon definitely deserved to be one of them.

Especially for the young girl's hero-level advancement, without years of preparation, even becoming a Golden Overlord would be a stretch. Theoretically, the indispensable protectors should be her even more powerful dragon parents, while the one facing the calamity will only succeed if they withstand a certain percentage of the damage.

Unfortunately, no.

Chapter 531 Chaos Arrives

Morning, in the conference room.

Mirai Kamishiro cleaned up the surrounding area.

The two left the action building. At 9 o'clock sharp, it was time for the preliminary round of the four schools' martial arts competition. Each magic high school was expected to have ninety third-year students participate. The competition would last for three days to determine the final winner, who would gain great honor and status.

"Senior, they probably won't let you sign up."

Both of them were on the campus street, where club activities had already begun on both sides. Mirai glanced at the claw machine; she had beaten it when she was a child, and she had only ever encountered an expert who could manipulate things behind the scenes.

"Who knows."

Jiang He held a bowl of fried fruit in one hand, but instead of the secret recipe jam that should have been drizzled on it, he replaced it with bright red dragon's blood wine.

The two arrived at the competition registration area, and sure enough, the banner next to them clearly stated: "Strategic-level participants are not eligible to register."

"Why bother with strategic-level registration for the competition?"

"Those big shots are too idle to come here for a martial arts competition."

"Monarchs have pride; they would never bully a child."

Because the banner was too conspicuous, passing students would occasionally discuss it, and most people thought it was completely unnecessary.

Mirai Kamishiro tilted her head suspiciously: "Senior, you're not really planning to secretly participate in the competition and cause trouble, and then get revenge for the old grudges that the monarchs had against you during the enthronement meeting, are you?"

"Whimsical."

Jiang He turned and left, returning home disappointed.

Mirai jogged after him, looking somewhat annoyed. She should have just pretended not to see him.

The two wandered aimlessly. Jiang He was waiting for the right opportunity to hunt down the monarch, while Kamishiro Mirai was simply accompanying him as his adjutant.

In front of the Magic Science Stadium, the Exploration High School team had arrived. All of them were dressed in wilderness survival tactical uniforms, and the young man leading them was handsome with black wings on his back.

"Tactical-level mage, Amagi Tsubasa."

Mirai Kamishiro, with a juice straw in her mouth, introduced to someone, "Tsubasa Amagi is the ace of Exploration High School. She wields the great magic Black Wing. It is said that she stayed at the school for a year specifically for this school festival and is currently the acting director."

At the end of the road, the exploration team led by Amagi Tsubasa collided head-on with a burly young man in a black military uniform. Like a runaway toy train, the two sides began a standoff with neither side willing to give way.

"Ooyama, the student leader of the Legion High School, has a close relationship with our school's Silver Blade. Tactical-level, Great Magic: Earthquake..."

"There's no need to keep introducing these kinds of passersby."

"Understood." Mirai Kamishiro was feeling stifled. She was the representative of the Nine Clans High School team, but they hadn't given her a chance to shine.

Until noon, the two walked along the cherry blossom street. A gentle breeze blew, and petals fell in abundance. Mirai Kamishiro couldn't help but jump up. Underneath her knee-length skirt in her school uniform, her legs, encased in black stockings, were slender and straight.

"What a rare moment of peace, senior. I really hope it can last until the mission is over. Do you ever feel tempted?"

"Have."

"what?"

"It was a dark and windy night when I was about ten years old. My older brother, Lao Hei, and I went up the mountain to look for rabbit burrows. The forest was pitch black. I was hiding in a tree waiting for him to come back. After waiting for several hours, I suddenly looked down and saw a ghostly thing that looked like a lynx looking up at me."

"The dull and boring, almost infuriatingly mundane routine was abruptly interrupted."

Jiang He calmly replied, "Just like now."

Boom!

An extremely close explosion occurred.

Under the blazing flames, the newly renovated magic experiment building was completely destroyed in the explosion. On the rooftops of several high-rise buildings, the cadres of the Anti-Magic Alliance raised their flags and launched a riot. The magic competition was a grand event in the fortress, and naturally it was also a thorn in the side of the anti-magic fighters.

Countless students from the four schools looked up at the crimson sky.

Mirai Kamishiro stared blankly at someone, her peripheral vision revealing shattered building debris that had destroyed a large number of cherry blossom trees, and flames soon began to rage.

She rarely noticed that the young man in front of her was excited. For the dominant figure of the era, the school festival was not a time for leisurely enjoyment, but rather torture.

“I didn’t choose the extraordinary path because I had nowhere else to run,” Jiang He said earnestly.

After a long pause, Kamishiro Mirai gave a self-deprecating laugh and asked, "So what happened next? What happened to the lynx?"

"Of course, it's time to start the hunt."

……

At the same time as the explosion.

In the frigid lands, deep within a vast expanse of white,

For the first time ever, four wolf kings gathered together, and tens of thousands of werewolves filled the snowfield. On the distant hillside, the Extreme Cold Great Wall reconnaissance team, who had infiltrated to scout, were all silent with fear, and countless wolf howls rose and fell.

"The balance has been broken."

"The Red Wolf King, covered in blood, said."

"Including the Grand Chancellor, humanity now has eight monarchs," the Grey Wolf King said gravely. "And with the death of the True Ancestor of Shadow, the Blood Kingdom and our sub-heroes now number eight, a tie."
