“Hmm… he’s very low-key. He didn’t join the student council or the Lionheart Club… I don’t have a strong impression of him,” Susie said. “If you hadn’t mentioned him today, I wouldn’t have known he was in the same year as me.”
In general schools, two types of people deserve the most attention: those who are exceptionally outstanding, such as Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei. The excellence of Kassel College is not academic excellence, but rather excellence in lineage and ability.
Another group worth noting are those who are particularly bad, such as F-class Fingel, who is almost universally known.
But many ordinary people, like A, B, C, and D, are rarely remembered.
Fujiwara Shinnosuke was just an unremembered passerby.
"So, you don't know what his Word of Power is?" Gu Ran asked Su Qian again.
Susie shook her head; she truly didn't know.
But Gu Ran knew that this person's Word of Power was the extremely rare Time Zero.
Word Spirit is a person of zero time; their bloodline cannot be ordinary, at least A-level.
However, the number of A-level bloodlines in the academy is limited, and he was not on the list of A-level bloodlines.
Therefore, this person is clearly hiding their true abilities.
However, Gu Ran was too lazy to investigate him further. He would just have Zhao Xuzhen try out this Fujiwara Shinnosuke later.
"So, we've had our credit stolen?" Victoria asked quietly at this point.
These noble families valued honor highly; having their credit stolen was worse than death for them.
Like Caesar, who was willing to give up everything for honor.
"Don't worry, they can't steal the credit that's rightfully ours," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Everyone's been working hard for a day and a night, and they're all tired. Let's go, I'll treat everyone to teppanyaki in Osaka. I know a really good place!"
*……*……*
After having teppanyaki for dinner, Gu Ran led everyone on a fun-filled night in Osaka.
Japan was where he interned, so he was practically a local and naturally knew what was worth doing there.
For example, watching Kansai people argue in Osaka, or seeing gangsters racing cars on the elevated highway, is really interesting.
The group played together until after 3 a.m. before returning to the hotel to rest.
Lying on the bed, Gu Ran checked the system.
Last night, he submitted blood samples from the next generation of the species as well as blood samples from Zhao Xuzhen.

[Reward: S-Rank Ninjutsu - Impure World Reincarnation]
Impure World Reincarnation was a ninjutsu that Gu Ran had always been looking forward to, as it could revive and control the dead.
The prerequisite for this resurrection technique is the corpse of the deceased. Then, the body of a living person is used as a container for the soul of the deceased, allowing the soul to attach itself to the container. The living person's body is then covered with dust, thus transforming the soul into the appearance of the deceased in life.
Burying a kunai inscribed with talismans into the back of the deceased's head can erase the deceased's consciousness; whether or not emotions and will are preserved is entirely up to the practitioner.
However, this technique also has a drawback: if the deceased knows the hand seals used in this technique, the deceased can break the psychic contract with the summoner and escape control.
Gu Ran closed his eyes and silently memorized the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique; it would be impossible for others to remember them.
There are no corpses around him at the moment, so it's not appropriate for him to experiment with this technique.
So he closed his eyes, meditated and entered the dream world of Mount Myōboku, and began to experiment with another attack method!
That is... the Seeking the Way Jade!
Since he unlocked the Immortal Body, he can freely enter Immortal Mode, and his Immortal Mode has no time limit; he can maintain it for as long as he wants.
In addition to Sage Mode, he also gained seven more Truth-Seeking Balls.
These seven Seeking Jade can change size at will, and can even be transformed into weapons for his use, with the power to easily split a building in two.
Because the power of the Truth-Seeking Ball was too domineering, he had never used it, for fear of accidentally killing someone.
Moreover, he rarely uses Truth-Seeking Balls and Sage Mode, and there are hardly any decent enemies that require him to use this technique.
Therefore, he never developed or utilized the Seeking the Way Jade.
However, because Zhao Xuzhen had offended Odin, the King of the Sky and Wind, Gu Ran had put the matter of obtaining the Truth-Seeking Stones back on his agenda.
In just over a year, Ragnarok will arrive, bringing the end of the world. Truth-Seeking Balls are one of his strongest attack methods, but it is unknown whether they will be effective against the Black King.
After all, no one knows just how strong the Black King really is.
The Truth-Seeking Jewel contains enormous energy. If handled properly, it can be made to continuously expand, filling the entire space.
Moreover, Truth-Seeking Balls are incredibly hard and can be used for both defense and offense. However, if the opponent can use spatial abilities, they can use those abilities to teleport the Truth-Seeking Balls to a distant location.
However, the moment one comes into contact with the Truth-Seeking Ball, one will likely suffer tons of damage.
Now, Gu Ran's thoughts are no longer the same as before, when he only thought about surviving Ragnarok.
He wants to prevent Ragnarok from happening and to stop the end of the world.
Otherwise, how would he spend the $1101 billion he earned yesterday?
Moreover, with his greatly increased strength, he already had many plans in mind to defeat the Black King. Even if he couldn't defeat the Black King, he could still stop him.
As for Odin... to be honest, he no longer takes Odin seriously, and even looks forward to Odin inviting him to visit Nibelungen on the viaduct.
However... that's probably impossible. Odin wouldn't be so foolish as to invite a powerful being who poses a threat to him into his home.
However, Gu Ran was not careless. He knew that Odin still needed to be guarded against because Odin possessed a special ability—causality.
Odin is someone who has the ability to change the timeline, and this ability is too domineering, so Gu Ran always has to be careful.
"It seems that if there is a chance, I must kill Odin directly and not give him the opportunity to activate the law of causality." Gu Ran made a decision in his heart.
After logging out of the system, Gu Ran yawned, but he showed no intention of going to sleep.
It's not time to sleep yet; he hasn't dealt with Zhao Xuzhen yet.
Does he really think he can escape?
*……*……*
An airplane is flying over the Arctic towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The plane was carrying Zhao Xuzhen and a second-generation species, and according to the plan, they were to be transported to a small island in the Pacific Ocean.
However, at this point, the plane's flight path was clearly completely different from the original plan.
Zhao Xuzhen already knew he had been rescued. He wasn't stupid; from the moment Gu Ran was transferred away, he knew that his family was making every effort to save him.
At this moment, Fujiwara Shinnosuke found a tracking device on Zhao Xuzhen's body, which was probably placed by Gu Ran or Su Xi.
He didn't investigate the origin of the tracker; he simply crushed it and threw it on the ground.
“With your bloodline, this injury should heal completely even if left untreated, right?” Fujiwara Shinnosuke took out a glass of red wine, put a straw in it, and fed Zhao Xuzhen a sip.
“It can be restored, but it will take time.” Zhao Xuzhen took a sip of red wine and asked, “Are you from the Gattuso family?”
“Knowing too much won’t do you any good,” Fujiwara Shinnosuke said calmly. “To save you, they used my undercover work, and now I’m wanted by the Secret Service and can only live a life of petty theft… Sigh, the more I think about it, the more I feel cheated. I was doing just fine in France; the women there are really wild…”
Zhao Xuzhen said with a wry smile, "I'm also going to be wanted by the Secret Service. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Great Britain for the rest of my life. It's all Gu Ran's fault!"
“You can blame him, but it’s best not to cause him any trouble,” Fujiwara Shinnosuke said. “Anyway, I was told to stay away from this person and not to cause him any trouble under any circumstances. I guess your family will tell you the same thing.”
Zhao Xuzhen knew that the Temple of Solomon must have paid a heavy price to save him this time.
Moreover, not only are they forbidden from causing trouble for Gu Ran, but they are also forbidden from going to see Jiang Wanzhi again.
Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi! Zhao Xuzhen knew he couldn't beat Gu Ran, so he could only hate Jiang Wanzhi.
When Jiang Wanzhi encountered an accident and was on the verge of death, the Solomon Temple mobilized its resources to save her and also provided her with training.
He and Jiang Wanzhi knew each other when they were very young, and could be considered childhood sweethearts. Therefore, he had long ago decided that she would be his wife.
So he has been waiting for Jiang Wanzhi to grow up and mature, and when she becomes a woman of childbearing age, he will marry her and they will give birth to a high-quality mixed-race child.
Who knew that Jiang Wanzhi would betray him and get together with another man?
Bai Shanglu is just an ordinary person. Why should he be with Jiang Wanzhi?
He had no idea how excellent Jiang Wanzhi's bloodline was, that she could give birth to stable mixed-race offspring, further optimizing his bloodline.
He could endure and give up everything else, but not Jiang Wanzhi.
That was the woman he had longed for and waited for for so long!
However, this woman now has the Zhou family backing her up, and she has lost her purity and chastity!
This was more painful for Zhao Xuzhen than anything else!
But now, he has no other choice.
He probably won't be able to go to China anymore, and he probably won't be able to see Jiang Wanzhi again.
“Don’t think so much. Isn’t it good enough that you’re still alive? You can continue to enjoy women in the future.” Fujiwara Shinnosuke said from the side, “Living is the purpose, whether you are human or dragon.”
Zhao Xuzhen nodded slightly. Yes, he was still alive, which was a lucky thing.
The plane crossed the Arctic Circle and reached the northern part of the Arctic Ocean, and would soon arrive in Britain.
The Solomon Temple's dedicated radio line has been connected to the aircraft, arranging the best route for them. Other flights and planes will give way to this route, allowing Zhao Xuzhen to return to the UK as soon as possible.
But at that moment, Zhao Xuzhen's right eyelid was twitching wildly, and a sudden sense of foreboding washed over him...
Chapter 605 Eight Gates Formation, Open!
Gu Ran, who was far away in Osaka, Japan, was hungry, so he went downstairs to the hotel restaurant and ordered three servings of Wagyu beef.
The hotel's restaurant is open 24 hours a day, with top chefs always on standby in the kitchen.
Gu Ran sat by the window in the restaurant, looking at the landmark of Osaka Castle, the castle tower. At night, only a small outline of the castle tower could be seen, but it had a unique tranquility.
The steak arrived, and Gu Ran slowly cut and ate the beef. A waiter came over and asked if he wanted any wine. He didn't like wine, so he didn't order any, but just a glass of soda water.
The head chef then came out and asked Gu Ran how his cooking skills were. Western chefs often have this habit, perhaps because the chef was bored in the kitchen and wanted to chat with someone.
Gu Ran chatted with him for a few minutes, praising the sauce for being well-made. As for the beef, top-grade Wagyu beef is always good no matter how it's prepared.
The chef left satisfied with the praise from the guests.
The three steaks were finished in no time. Gu Ran wiped his mouth and left, as if to tell others that he had just come downstairs for a late-night snack.
All of this was recorded by the restaurant's security cameras, and many restaurant staff members also witnessed it.
