Chapter 16 Chaos Begins to Emerge, Transcendent Wanted

Like playing with a walnut in his hand, Qin Chuan casually found a basin and quickly filled it with water.

He quickly submerged his face completely below the water's surface, feeling the new power within him.

In the past, amid the water, he dared not even open his eyes due to the discomfort caused by water entering them; but now, he was able not only to freely open his eyes to observe everything underwater but also to breathe in it.

Even breathing in water felt more refreshing than breathing normally.

This unique ability also came from the Water Master, a passive skill that gave Qin Chuan an unparalleled advantage in the water.

After testing the Water Master, Qin Chuan casually threw a towel that was hanging nearby into the basin. With a thought, the water in the basin began to swirl rapidly, stirring like a washing machine, and the water gradually turned muddy.

When he took it out again, the towel was as clean as new.

Indeed.

Qin Chuan smiled.

Although Dark Current Binding was not strong in attack, it had quite a bit of potential for development.

He took a mouthful of water, used the same method to rinse his mouth, changed his clothes, and left home.

Today, he did not encounter Tongtong and her mother again; Qin Chuan walked directly from the apartment building to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community.

"Boss, give me two meat buns and a bowl of soy milk."

"Right away!" The diligent middle-aged boss quickly brought over the meat buns and soy milk, placing them in front of Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan thanked him and began to eat his breakfast, but then he heard arguing nearby.

"Long Hang, are you looking for trouble?"

"You think you're the only one who has contracted a Spiritual Beast? If you've got the guts, let's fight!"

"Alright, let's settle our new and old grudges!"

Immediately after, the sound of scuffling and exclamations erupted.

Qin Chuan, slightly pausing as he held his soy milk bowl, turned his head to look at the adjacent stall.

At that moment, at that stall, two young men around his age were entangled in a fight.

One of them, hands emitting flames, flung fire at the other repeatedly during the scuffle, quickly setting the other's clothes on fire, which looked quite frightening.

The sparks flying from the scuffle landed on the nearby plastic tables and chairs, quickly igniting them and emitting an unpleasant smell.

The other was not to be outdone, his skin turning from flesh-colored to a stony white, as he swung his heavily fisted punches creating gusts of wind that repeatedly hit the body of the opponent, causing him to bleed from the corners of his mouth in no time.

Occasional missed hits even cracked the floor tiles like spider webs.

As the two shifted from arguing to fighting, patrons at nearby stalls quickly retreated, watching with frightened expressions but not daring to intervene, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Qin Chuan silently pulled out his phone and dialed the hotline of the Special Affairs Group.

After briefly explaining the situation, the operator from the Special Affairs Group told Qin Chuan that someone had already called, and the staff were on their way.

Almost a second after hanging up, a motorcycle roared like a wild beast, stopping at the roadside.

A man wearing sunglasses, quick as a shadow, came rushing over.

"Special Affairs Group, everyone stop!"

Looking at the two entangled men, he immediately shouted and locked his hands like iron tongs around the two, forcefully pulling them apart.

A police car with flashing lights arrived at this moment, and several burly men stepped out; without a word, they held down the two separated men, cuffed them, and took them away, while a few others professionally began taking statements and calming the crowd.

The man who had initially arrived on the motorcycle, after receiving a phone call and cursing loudly, disappeared with the roar of his bike.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Qin Chuan let down his guard, cooperated with a brief statement, finished his breakfast, and walked up to the breakfast stall owner at the counter.

"Boss, I've transferred four yuan to you."

"Alright." The boss's face wore a look of greater concern, "If it continues like this, I dare not open for business."

Qin Chuan pursed his lips and, without responding, turned and left.

The arrival of extraordinary powers in the real world inevitably lead to chaos.

He was well aware that the fight between the two Transcendents he witnessed was just the tip of the iceberg of this chaos.

This could be partly seen from the busy Water Master driving a motorcycle, who belonged to the Special Affairs Group.

At the classroom entrance, Qin Chuan paused.

He also longed for extraordinary powers, yet he didn't want everyone and everything to become completely unrecognizable because of them.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan pushed the door open and entered.

"Qin Chuan, look at me quickly!"

Seeing Tongtong with only his head showing above the floor, animatedly waving at him, Qin Chuan remained silent.

At least Tongtong was still the familiar Tongtong.

-----------------

"Qin Chuan, I successfully contracted a Contracted Spiritual Beast! An Earth Attribute one!"

Tongtong, having pulled himself out of the ground, spoke excitedly.

"I've already seen." Qin Chuan nodded.

"Hehe," Tongtong could hardly keep the corners of his mouth down, "My Spiritual Beast has an active skill that allows it to move through the earth, which is the Taoist Earth Tunneling Technique."

"Later I'll contract a Spiritual Beast that can fly; then I'll have achieved the feat of flying and tunneling!"

As he spoke, Tongtong gave Qin Chuan a "jealous, aren't you?" look.

Qin Chuan took a sip of water, staying silent.

"Hey, what about your Spiritual Beast's abilities? Why don't you show me a 'Water Ball'?" Tongtong asked with a chuckle.

Water Ball...

"Sure."

Qin Chuan's smile twitched bizarrely as he tapped a finger on the desk.

"Huh?"

Tongtong blinked, and the next second his expression dramatically changed. He abruptly stood up, clasped his hands over his crotch, and hurried out of the classroom.

Qin Chuan calmly took another sip of water and then picked up his phone to access the Dream Realm Forum.

Because extraordinary powers had appeared in the real world for the first time, the forum was exceptionally lively at the moment.

Players who had already contracted Spiritual Beasts were showing off their new abilities through videos or photos, while those yet to contract were envious.

Many players also expressed their concerns, believing that the current order would change with the arrival of extraordinary power.

"Darn it, Qin Chuan, you trickster!" Tongtong returned to the classroom with a dark face, "I almost peed myself."

"It was you who wanted to see the Water Ball." Qin Chuan gave Tongtong a sly look.

Tongtong instinctively covered his crotch, and his face darkened even more.

"You're browsing the forum, huh." Noticing Qin Chuan's activity, Tongtong's attention quickly shifted, "This morning, the Special Affairs Group posted the first warrants for Transcendents on the forum. Did you see it? The wanted individual is from our city."

"Warrant?" Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Where is it?"

"In the new section, right here..." Tongtong gestured with his hand.

Soon, a wanted poster appeared before Qin Chuan.

On seeing the photo on the poster, Qin Chuan's pupils constricted.

Is it him?
