For instance, across Huaxia, there were already reports of mutated beasts similar to the firebird from before. People who trained their bodies and honed their abilities could also boost their powers.
The state didn't oppose citizens possessing great power—it only hoped they would use it properly.
No bullying the weak.
No stirring up trouble.
No harming civilians.
No breaking the law.
In short, the principal had said all that needed saying. The rest was up to the students' own sense of responsibility.
If they chose to ignore it and do something reckless, the law would deal with them.
After the meeting ended, Bai Xuan slung his backpack over his shoulder, preparing to head home. But before leaving, he was unexpectedly invited by Zhang Weiyang, Sun Qiang, and the others.
"C'mon, Xiao Bai, let's go run a few laps?"
"Isn't it said that training can improve our powers? We plan to spend an hour every day training."
"So… you coming or not?"
Bai Xuan glanced at their excited faces. Funny—they didn't look this eager when they talked about training before.
"You guys go ahead."
He shook his head and declined. His home had a private gym, and if he wanted to train, he could do it there. This was one of the perks of being rich.
Plus… thanks to [Nature's Authority], his powers increased every moment. Even without training, they were still improving.
It was like some kind of "Limiter" being activated—except in his case, it was a gift from heaven, not sheer willpower.
Sure, it came too easily, but White Ye didn't refuse it.
"You'd better hurry if you're going. There's only one playground, and quite a few have awakened powers."
With that fleeting thought in his mind, Bai Xuan gave them a friendly warning after declining.
Hearing this, Zhang Weiyang, Sun Qiang, and the others froze, then grabbed their backpacks and sprinted off, afraid they wouldn't get a spot.
If the PE teacher saw this, they would probably die laughing.
Shrugging, Bai Xuan slung his backpack and left the school. On his way home, he occasionally noticed people showing off their powers.
With powers now public knowledge, thanks to official announcements, there was no reason to hide them anymore. Some had even begun to flaunt them.
As for those who wanted to use their abilities for mischief… none had appeared.
Not that they weren't interested—simply, their powers were too weak to act on their intentions.
Back home, Bai Xuan dropped his backpack and collapsed into his rocking chair, logging into the chat group.
The chat group was still embroiled in arguments over the lottery draw—but this time, it wasn't just Uchiha Madara, Da Gu, and Whitebeard arguing. The whole group was involved.
Most Evil Spirit: "[The guaranteed 'Thank you for your purchase' lottery ticket!]"
Most Evil Spirit: "Explain to me what a guaranteed 'Thank you for your purchase' lottery ticket even is!"
Most Evil Spirit: "Who would want this? Huh? Who would ever want this?!"
Tokisaki Kurumi had never imagined she would pull such a ridiculous prize! Truly, this chat group had everything under the sun.
Make Da Gu into soup: "Although I didn't get anything good, seeing all of you makes me feel lucky."
Make Da Gu into soup: "I guess this is the joy of connecting with others."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Hahahahaha!"
A skill like [Postpartum Care for Mother Pigs] felt weirdly great when contrasted with Madara, Old Dad, and Kurumi.
Most Evil Spirit: "Angry."
Ordinary Group Leader: "'Thank you for your purchase,' what nonsense! My prize is worse!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "[Xiao Xi Ba's free cosmetic surgery]"
Ordinary Group Leader: "I'm already a standard 3D beauty—who needs cosmetic surgery from a k-pop country, you jerk!"
Su Yunqing was furious at what she had drawn.
Even before traveling, she had been a flawless beauty, with delicate features and perfect skin.
Even if she didn't match Kurumi, Nami, or Hinata, she was far from unattractive. She had rarely seen anyone prettier than herself.
After transmigration, though she couldn't cultivate, her appearance remained stunning, even more radiant than before. She had no need for cosmetic surgery!
This was an insult from the chat group!
Ordinary Group Leader: "And I'm the group leader! How could a chat group leader get such lousy prizes?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Isn't the chat group supposed to be for top luck from all worlds? Luck and fortune are linked—how could my luck be this bad?!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "There must be foul play! Absolutely foul play!"
Golden Flash: "Actually, I think it's just luck."
Golden Flash: "Meow Meow got a Devil Fruit, Bai Xuan got Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan and bloodline, and I got the Uzumaki Clan physique."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Shut up, you lucky bastard!"
Be My Son: "Shut up, you lucky bastard!"
Most Evil Spirit: "Shut up, you lucky bastard!"
Make Da Gu into soup: "Shut up, you lucky bastard!"
Child of Nature: "Shut up, you lucky bastard!"
Uchiha Dance King: "Shut up… wait, that doesn't sound right…"
Uchiha Dance King: "@Child of Nature, why are you even in the team?!"
A guy who drew Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan had no right to call anyone lucky.
That was a space-time ability—something even he envied a little.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Exactly! If it weren't for Madara mentioning it, I wouldn't have even noticed."
Ordinary Group Leader: "You lucky bastard joining in… have some shame!"
Su Yunqing bit her lip, tears in her eyes, furiously typing in the group.
Why do my eyes always fill with tears? Because I'm so mad at the lucky ones.
Why am I always the unlucky one among transgressors? I refuse to accept it!
Make Da Gu into soup: "Exactly, exactly."
Child of Nature: [shrugs]
Child of Nature: "There's nothing I can do about luck."
Child of Nature: "And it's just Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan… a space-time jutsu, that's all. Why's everyone so worked up?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "He's showing off! He's flexing in the chat group!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "I want to flex too… wuwuwuwu."
Child of Nature: "…"
Even a group leader reduced to this level was almost pitiful.
