Li Cunxu fetched the comb he usually used to brush his Younger Sister's hair.
He wasn't worried at all that his Younger Sister's location could be divined; his Younger Sister possessed the power of the Four Gods, involving four Evil Gods. It would require at least King Level divination to locate her, and this didn't even account for Li Cunxu's own uniqueness—his sole Talent was naturally high status, capable of multiplying the difficulty of any divination several times over.
Unless someone with King Level strength and a unique, Legendary divination Talent related to fate performed the divination, others would not be able to locate her.
By the time Officer Lin left, it was already three in the afternoon. Li Cunxu wasn't in the mood to check the Ranch and stayed home to meditate.
As Night fell, Li Cunxu finished his instant noodles, opened the Secret Door, entered the Basement, and summoned Little Soft.
As soon as Little Soft appeared, it wanted to snuggle, its enthusiasm being overwhelming.
Li Cunxu unconsciously played with it for a while.
"Alright, playing with you made me forget the important business."
"Stand still, don't move."
"Puchi~ Puchi~"
Li Cunxu activated the Talent 【Gift of the Gods】 and extended a finger, lightly tapping Little Soft's head like a dragonfly touching water.
The moment his finger made contact, Little Soft's pale blue body erupted with dazzling golden light.
Li Cunxu instinctively closed his eyes; the golden light was too bright. Even through his eyelids, his vision was entirely filled with gold.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to activate this in the Basement; otherwise, it would have attracted the neighbors' attention."
The golden light dissipated, and Li Cunxu immediately checked Little Soft's Panel.
【Pet Beast】: Water Slime （Little Soft）
【Attribute】: Water
【Level】: Black Iron Level Zero
【Status】: Healthy
【Talent】: Growth Halo （Blue）
【God-given Talent】: Slime's Soul Kingdom
【Skill】: Water Ball
【Potential】: Low-grade Black Iron

【Slime's Soul Kingdom: A soul homeland undisturbed by anyone.
Trait One: Subject Mark. Slimes imprinted with the Subject Mark are ruled by the King （Little Soft） and will never commit Betrayal.
Trait Two: Destination of Souls. After the death of a Slime imprinted with the Subject Mark, its soul returns to the Kingdom, neither descending to Hell nor ascending to Heaven.
Trait Three: Opening of Kingdom Territory. The more Slime souls the Kingdom accommodates, the larger the Kingdom's territory becomes.
Trait Four: Subject Reincarnation. The King can designate a specific location in reality as the reincarnation site, where Slime souls within the Kingdom can be reborn and resurrected.
Trait Five: Kingdom's Tax Collection. A one percent Attribute Tax is collected monthly from all Slime Subjects.】
Li Cunxu was overjoyed; this wasn't just a Growth Talent, it was clearly the prototype of a Divine Kingdom.
With this Talent's blessing, Little Soft's Potential was no less than that of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan, perhaps even far surpassing them.
Especially the fifth trait, the Kingdom's Tax Collection; Little Soft could collect Attribute Tax from all Slimes, constantly growing stronger.
Li Cunxu suddenly understood why the Future Prophet would go to any lengths to seal the Black Prison Incarcerator who possessed the Gift of the Gods Talent.
If he were the Future Prophet, he would do the same; the Potential of the Gift of the Gods Talent was simply too terrifying.
Suddenly, Li Cunxu realized a serious problem: if the Black Prison Incarcerator with the Gift of the Gods Talent was sealed, would he, who also possessed the Gift of the Gods, also be viewed with apprehension and sealed away?
Li Cunxu seriously considered this issue and found he had absolutely no need to worry about it.
The Future Prophet could detect the Black Prison Incarcerator because they also possessed the unique Legendary Talent 【Future Simulation】, whereas the era Li Cunxu lived in did not permit the birth of unique Legendary Divination Talents.
This was because this era belonged to the Four Gods.
The Four Gods did not allow a human Prophet to foresee their Conspiracy. If a human Prophet were to emerge, the Four Gods would descend even if it meant God's Descent just to kill them. Otherwise, the Prophet would constantly disrupt the Four Gods' plans, making it impossible for the Four Gods to conquer this world, no matter what.
The human faction would not produce a Prophet, nor would the Four Gods faction. Firstly, the Four Gods were not united; if a Prophet appeared under one Evil God Faction, the other three Evil Gods would inevitably kill them to prevent any single entity from becoming too powerful. Even if the four Evil Gods reached an agreement to keep the Prophet alive,
the human faction would not allow a Prophet from the Evil God Faction to survive.
Although humanity suffered disasters, they were still the overlords of this world and were not to be trifled with.
The next day, upon going to school, Li Cunxu received some bad news.
Everyone who applied for home schooling had their applications approved, except for him.
The teacher said, "Vice Principal Shi did not approve it. He said if you have any issues, you can go talk to him."
Li Cunxu went to find Shi Jintang somewhat angrily.
"May I ask why Vice Principal Shi did not approve my application for home schooling?"
Shi Jintang said smugly, "You lack respect for your teachers and elders. What could someone like you learn at home? Only at school can your ugly character be corrected."
Li Cunxu understood: he had refused to let Shi Jintang freely exploit his Bountiful Ranch Talent yesterday, offending him, and now Shi Jintang was deliberately targeting him.
Today, for his 'home schooling' application to pass, he probably needed to let Shi Jintang exploit his Talent for free.
But... why should he?
When facing injustice, why should he silently endure it?
Li Cunxu didn't argue with him and quietly walked out of the Vice Principal's Office.
Arguing? Arguing with him was meaningless and a waste of his time. Looking at his smug expression, it was clear he thought he had Li Cunxu cornered.
Li Cunxu couldn't be bothered to waste words on him; he wasn't worthy of hearing them.
Li Cunxu went to the bulletin board, to the section listing school faculty and staff.
The faculty listed were from last year; this year's list had not yet been updated.
Last year's school faculty list did not include Vice Principal Shi Jintang.
"Shi Jintang is indeed new, with no experience as a principal at all," Li Cunxu muttered to himself.
An experienced principal would not offend a student without reason, because in this world, 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river' was a common occurrence.
If the offense was related to education, and the student later achieved success and sought Retaliation against the principal, the Education Bureau and the Alliance would intervene and list that student among those who repay kindness with ingratitude and should not be heavily promoted.
If the offense was bullying, and the student later achieved success and sought Retaliation against the principal, the Education Bureau and the Alliance would turn a blind eye.
In severe cases, the principal might even be dismissed.
After all, the student would be in the right, not the principal.
Moreover, when a principal bullies students, the Retaliation often comes not from one student, but from a group of successful students.
"He's new, yet he was parachuted in as Vice Principal. It seems this Vice Principal has Aristocratic Family backing."
Shi Jintang had Aristocratic Family backing, but Li Cunxu wasn't afraid at all. If Shi Jintang had an Aristocratic Family behind him, didn't he have the Alliance?
"Shi Jintang's surname is Shi. Could he be from the Stone Eye Shi Family?"
The Stone Eye Shi Family was a third-rank Bloodline Aristocratic Family. Their Bloodline Talent was Stone Eye （Green）. Stone Eye could Petrify anyone they made eye contact with, but the Petrify effect was inferior to Medusa's Eye. Once eye contact was broken, the Petrified target would revert to normal.
