His body was gradually reshaped, aligning itself with the form of Aspara from the Dragon Ball world. ... It was unclear how much time had passed. Finally, in the endless white expanse, Jiang Chen felt the warm current coursing through his body slowly subside. A strange sensation of pressure emerged at the back of his pants. Jiang Chen's mind stirred, and in the next moment— Rip! The back of his pants tore apart, and a furry tail emerged. While his facial features hadn't changed much, his physique had grown noticeably more robust. His muscles swelled with power, exuding an overwhelming aura of strength that could not be ignored. Indeed, Jiang Chen could clearly sense the immense energy surging through his cells. With a single thought, his body rose effortlessly into the air. Raising his right hand slightly, he instantly formed a glowing energy sphere. The power was immense— far beyond what he could have previously imagined. Even though it wasn't as overwhelming as when he logged into the world, it still far exceeded the capabilities of his original body in his primary world. It felt as though he had just activated the character card for the first time. No, it was even stronger than that. With this realization, Jiang Chen immediately checked the interface in front of him. Name: Jiang Chen Identity: First-Tier World Conqueror Battle Power: 220 Points (Evaluated by Login World standards) Looking at the updated stats, Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement. A battle power of 220 points— definitely stronger than after his first login when his power was only around 190. Now, it has increased significantly to 220. More importantly, this was only the beginning. As he continued to absorb Aspara's power, his strength would keep climbing. Eventually, it would reach the peak of Aspara's power at 15,000 points. And it wouldn't take long. This process might even be complete before his third login begins. Thinking about a battle power of 15,000, Jiang Chen couldn't suppress his excitement. Even though he didn't fully understand the power systems of other worlds yet, comparing it to those in Naruto and One Piece, a battle power of 15,000 was undoubtedly formidable. While it might not be at the Seventh Tier, it would definitely fall within the Fifth or Sixth Tier. And the Fifth or Sixth Tier... That was considered elite level within the Great Xia Federation. It might not make him untouchable, but it would grant him significant influence and power. Even in the worst-case scenario—if the Dragon Ball storyline character he embodied in the realm lord timeline were to die—he would still have little to fear in his primary world. This marked a true leap forward for Jiang Chen, a transformative milestone in his journey. After a long while, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. With a single thought, his body became enveloped in a radiant light, signifying the completion of his transformation. As the light dissipated, Jiang Chen's figure vanished from the white, foggy expanse. ... Outside. At the Dimensional Center of DaXia No. 8 School, Jiang Chen suddenly heard a cacophony of voices. His eyes instinctively opened, revealing the familiar yet powerful sensation coursing through him. A bright smile spread across his face. Meanwhile, beams of light descended in the Dimensional Center, and one figure after another emerged. Most participants looked relieved, though a significant number appeared despondent— clear signs of their outcomes. If the first login could be chalked up to luck, the second login forced most participants to face the main missions. Over 90% had already triggered the first mainline mission, and many had even reached the second. However, compared to the first mission, the second was far more challenging. Despite having some foundation from the first, the increased difficulty meant some were inevitably eliminated. Amidst the crowd, some clenched their fists in frustration, while others left with heavy hearts. A few even broke down into tears. Jiang Chen shook his head and prepared to leave, eager to test the newfound power of his transformed body. Before he could move, a familiar voice called out excitedly. "Chen! Hahaha, I made it through!" "I really made it!" The white light faded, and Yue Yang's figure appeared. As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, he rushed over, his voice brimming with excitement. "Congratulations!" Jiang Chen said with a smile. "Hahaha! Chen Zi, you have no idea— I nearly failed! But I kept my wits about me," Yue Yang said, visibly exhilarated. "And guess what? You were right! I actually met Luffy's grandfather. He really is Vice-Admiral Garp, and now he's taking me to Marine Headquarters!" Yue Yang lowered his voice, sharing his excitement conspiratorially. "Seems like you're lucky. Make sure to work hard moving forward," Jiang Chen advised with a nod. "The One Piece world can reach the Fourth Tier, so don't squander this chance." "Don't worry. I've even quit League of Legends— nothing will stop me from climbing the ranks and becoming an Admiral!" Yue Yang thumped his chest, speaking with conviction. Though, how long his resolve would last was anyone's guess. As the two continued chatting, the room buzzed with activity. Some dejected individuals left quietly, others sighed in disappointment, and a few were visibly indifferent. Yet no one paid much attention. This world was inherently cruel. Those who failed to succeed were destined to inhabit entirely different worlds from those who did. Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh as he reflected on this reality. Just then, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. "Thank you." Lin Shiyun approached, her tone soft and her expression tentative. Yue Yang instantly stopped talking, falling silent. "Looks like you had some good luck," Jiang Chen remarked, raising an eyebrow as his gaze landed on her pale, almost ethereal eyes. "This time, it's all thanks to you," Lin Shiyun replied earnestly. "My father would like to treat you to a meal." "That's unnecessary. It was just a transaction," Jiang Chen said dismissively, shaking his head. Then, turning to Yue Yang, he added, "Let's go, YY." "Got it!" Yue Yang nodded eagerly and followed Jiang Chen out. Lin Shiyun watched their retreating figures, stomping her foot in frustration but ultimately lacked the courage to chase after them. Jiang Chen, walking alongside Yue Yang, paid no mind to the earlier exchange. Instead, the two shifted their conversation to other topics. After all, women couldn't compare to the allure of Dragon Ball. Jiang Chen had no interest in such distractions right now. Rather than waste time on trivialities, he focused on planning his next login and strategies for conquering new worlds. (End of Chapter)
