Qrow Branwen stood before Jaune, the powerful scent of the Remedy already replaced by the sharp clarity of his sober mind.
Jaune, sensing the momentous shift in the man, immediately contacted Ciel.
“Ciel, check how powerful he...
Jaune stayed with Naruto for a few more hours, watching the sunset cast long shadows over Hokage Mountain.
“I have to go now, Naruto,”
Jaune finally said when the last sliver of sun dipped below the horizon.
He had fini...
Jaune spent the next hour diligently teaching Naruto every nuance of the Gon Freecss’s Fishing Technique he had acquired, ensuring the boy fully internalized the skills of stealth and patience.
He showed Naruto how to clean the fish, how...
Jaune landed on the back slope of the colossal, carved Hokage Mountain, setting Naruto gently down beside him.
The view of the massive stone faces and the village sprawling out below was dizzying.
The boy, still wide-eyed from the f...
Jaune listened intently to Ciel's explanation of Chakra—the fusion of spiritual and physical energy—and the lethal art of ninjutsu.
He absorbed every detail, realizing that this world’s threats were vastly different from this Grimm i...
The lingering scent of ozone from the Red Potion's miracle hung in the air, a stark reminder of the incredible value he possessed—and the fact that the Crimson Dogs would soon be back, their greed amplified.
"I have to have a means to pro...
"That glowing sword is a Relic-Rank Soul-Slicer,"
Jaune said, his voice surprisingly steady.
"It requires silver coins, which I believe you do not possess. This shop uses a different currency. We don't use Lien. B...
Jaune nodded, his choice clear.
The Lower City Slums offered the highest customer traffic and the biggest potential for quick coins.
If he wanted to run a successful Multiverse Convenience Store, he had to take risks.
And wh...
"I'll take the God Physical Body."
The moment the words left Jaune's lips, the nine coins in his mental interface vaporized.
A flash of blinding, cerulean energy erupted from the spot where the holographic product listi...
Jaune Arc slowly awoke, disoriented, the rough wooden planks of an old convenience store floor pressing against his back.
A thick scent of dust and something faintly metallic hung in the air.
"Why did I show up here out...

They were not only absorbing vast quant...
Ao Yetian was silent, intensely focused on the Sky Poison Pearl as he channeled his Profound Energy to locate the scattered mineral wealth.
The immediate crisis was over, and the clock was no longer ticking. Yetian, now standing on a found...
Ao Yetian stood in the clearing, the Sky Poison Pearl settled firmly in his palm, its ancient, purifying power already merging with his Profound Energy.
The pearl felt cool, absolute, and utterly clean—the perfect antidote to the chaotic...
The dimensional passage collapsed with a shriek of tortured space, violently depositing Ao Yetian and his three partners onto the frigid earth of a new world.
The air was instantly different—heavy, dense, and tingling with Profound Energ...
Ao Yetian stood in the ancient cavern, the newly forged Quantum Matrix core humming with contained, dark-purple power.
He had the map, the fuel, and the freedom.
All that remained was the final, most personal negotiation.
H...
With the Quantum Matrix humming beneath the Institute, Ao Yetian was finally unburdened by the parasitic drain of the CEO card.
His Profound Core was safe, and his human anchors were now simply his devoted allies, not his life support.
The CEO card had demanded a furnace, and Ao Yetian was determined to build one that didn't require the delicate, draining life-force of his three anchors.
The Quantum-Entanglement-Based Energy Matrix concept, a phrase gleaned from the card...
The wave of Black Gold Rank Soul Force, though not the overwhelming power of a Legend, slammed through Glory City with the weight of absolute authority.
Ye Zong had located the source of the spiritual maelstrom.
The time for subtle...

The chilling truth of the CEO card had transformed Ao Yetian's goals from mere survival into cold, calculated dominance.
Forty-eight hours of stability was nothing. He needed a sustainable, industrial-scale solution for the demonic energy,...
The revelation of the Universal Credit Exchange Rate had been a physical blow.
Ao Yetian stared at the number flashing on the CEO card interface: his fifty million Spirit Coins, enough to buy a minor noble title in Glory City, were barely ...
Ao Yetian moved with a newfound purpose, his steps lighter, his mind clearer.
The weight of the CEO card in his pocket was still a heavy presence, a constant reminder of its parasitic demands, but the cessation of its energy drain was a bl...
Xiao Ning'er was not a fool, nor was she weak-willed. Ao Yetian's immediate, accurate diagnosis of her crippling technique was undeniable—he had offered the key to her freedom and her life.
But his threat—the knowledge of the ...
Ao Yetian stood on a shadowed rooftop, overlooking the expansive, high-walled compound of the Heavenly Marks Family.
He wasn't thinking about romance or heroism; he was thinking about fuel—the cold, efficient logic of a cultivat...
The negotiation with Yang Xin was swift.
Ao Yetian had presented the inevitable, and she was a pragmatic woman.
Within hours, a contract was drafted, signed, and countersigned. The Alchemist Association couldn't t...
Ao Yetian spent the night in the ruined building, not sleeping, but using the dark-red crystal's energy residue to push his Profound Energy circulation.
His body ached with the lingering violence of the transformation, but his sen...
Ao Yetian slipped out of the Holy Orchid Institute's back gate.
The few guards he passed noticed nothing amiss, yet the unfamiliar, buzzing weight of the Profound Energy in his core felt like a nest of angry, coiled hornets. ...
The dust motes swam in the late afternoon light, a silent, golden blizzard filtering through the grime-streaked glass of the classroom window.
Ao Yetian stared at the back of Ye Ziyun's head, not with the admiration a nameless extra sho...
