The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 29, Dragon Emblem

"Speak, how did you end up in this state again?"

Nangong Su'e pushed up her black-rimmed glasses on her prominent nose, her usually gentle eyes carrying a hint of pressure at this moment.

"Uh... teacher, where is the senior sister who brought me here?"

"Her divine soul suffered minor injuries and she regained consciousness and went back the very same day."

"The very same day?"

"What do you think it is now? You've been unconscious for three days!"

"....."

Zhu Haomiao bit his lip with an unpleasant expression, starting to carefully sense his own condition.

Luckily, neither his soul nor his body had suffered any substantial damage, aside from weakness and fatigue.

The only problem was that the upward arrows behind the six-dimensional attributes in the [Book of Black] had all disappeared, meaning his growth had once again come to a halt.

"Don't think you can change the topic. How did you end up like this? If you say you were gaming, I'll whip you to death!"

Nangong Su'e suddenly lashed her teaching stick against her palm, producing a crisp sound as she lightly raised her chin. Her slightly narrowed, beautiful eyes emitted threads of dangerous light.

"Uh... I..."

Teacher, don't be like this, I'm inexplicably a bit excited...

Noticing his bold thoughts stirring restlessly, Zhu Haomiao quickly shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then recounted the incident in a downplayed manner, omitting the part where he forcefully kissed Ye Wan Ning.

"So you're saying it's just a bloodline awakening, huh? I thought it was something major."

After listening to Zhu Haomiao's story, Nangong Su'e was greatly disappointed. She tossed the teaching stick aside, and the faint oppressive atmosphere in the school infirmary instantly dispersed.

"Bloodline awakening? Is my situation that common?"

Zhu Haomiao pondered, feeling that if his anomaly was widespread, he wouldn't need to worry so much about revealing the [Book of Black].

Hearing the boy's ignorant question, Nangong Su'e patiently explained.

"From ancient times beyond traceability, the Illusion Realm frequently overlapped and coupled with reality, forming traditional supernatural disasters."

"When the illusion separated from reality, a few [Superreal Creatures] lingered on Earth, which we commonly refer to as [Invasive Species]."

"Some High Sky Rank invasive species can disregard reproductive isolation and mate with Earth's native species. After thousands and tens of thousands of years, there are no so-called pure species on this planet. More or less, we all carry a bit of invasive species bloodline."

"And within these bloodlines lie supernatural powers. Since the start of the new century, it's become increasingly common for talented people or animals to awaken their bloodlines and reclaim their ancestors' powers. Though, cases as dramatic as yours are still relatively rare..."

"You probably awakened the direct bloodline of some High Sky Rank [Mythical Species]."

Hearing Nangong Su'e's determined words, Zhu Haomiao's eyes lit up.

Ah, yes, yes, yes!

That's exactly it, absolutely nothing to do with the [Book of Black]!

Seeing Zhu Haomiao's silly delight, the fury in Nangong Su'e's heart gradually dissipated, and she sighed helplessly.

"This child of mine, can you really survive if let out?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Nangong Su'e's inexplicable sigh, Zhu Haomiao immediately felt indignant.

I'm not claiming to be a genius, but being called stupid seems far-fetched, right?

Look at my insightful eyes!

Facing the boy's husky-like, insightful gaze, Nangong Su'e painfully covered her mouth, barely suppressing her twitching apple muscles with all her might.

"We're discussing important matters, don't make me laugh."

When did I make you laugh?

Your humor must be faulty!

Am I a clown?

Just seeing me makes you want to laugh?

Zhu Haomiao frowned, about to speak, when a delicate wooden box flew toward him.

Instinctively catching the box, the boy showed a questioning look.

"Teacher, this..."

"A farewell gift."

Nangong Su'e returned to her relaxed demeanor, half-lying on an ergonomic chair with a tablet in hand.

"Teacher, you're leaving?"

Indeed!

For such a long time, there's only been one patient!

This damn school infirmary couldn't possibly keep Teacher Su'e for long...

Though he had a vague premonition in his heart, when the moment truly arrived, Zhu Haomiao still felt overwhelming reluctance.

"Yes, I have little time to return to the real world each year, and I can't only consult at [Central Super]. I was supposed to leave yesterday, but because of you, this worrisome guy, I stayed an extra day."

"I don't know when I'll be back next, so I prepared a gift for you in advance. Open it, you'll definitely like it."

Facing Nangong Su'e's smiling eyes, Zhu Haomiao opened the wooden box with a heavy heart, revealing a medal the size of a coin.

The medal was black-gray in color, metallic, with a majestic dragon vividly engraved on the background edge, and a mysterious symbol in the center, resembling ancient seal script.

"Teacher, what's this?"

Patting her forehead with self-reproach, Nangong Su'e helplessly explained.

"[Extraordinary Heraldry] is a second-year course, I forgot you haven't learned it yet..."

"This is the Chinese Dragon Emblem, generally awarded only to elite extraordinaries recognized by the state. It's your sole credential for traveling the All Heavens Illusion Realm."

"With it, you can go to the [Yanhuang Armory] in the All Heavens Illusion Realm, take tasks to accumulate contributions, exchange for resources, intelligence, etc."

"In emergencies, you can even use it to call for help from all those around you who also hold a [Dragon Emblem]."

As Nangong Su'e leisurely spoke, Zhu Haomiao's expression gradually turned serious.

"Teacher, isn't it said that only [True Objects] can be brought into the Illusion Realm? Does that mean..."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Su'e nodded with a smile.

"That's right, the identity badges of all major forces are [True Objects], sourced from some dangerous Illusion Realm in the nine-layered heaven. They're then forged with your soul bloodline, almost impossible to counterfeit, and are the best identity emblems."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao finally grasped the preciousness of the object in his hand.

A [True Object] stone that's useless online can fetch a sky-high price; this beautiful Dragon Emblem in his hand must be worth at least several million, right?

Even more precious is the significance and rights it represents!

"By the way, your eligibility for the [U18 Ascension Competition] is also tied to this Dragon Emblem. Remember to bring the badge then."

"Huh?"

Suddenly lifting his head, Zhu Haomiao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"The application was approved? I have eligibility to compete?"

"It's been approved for a while. Didn't I tell you?"

Seeing Nangong Su'e's playful and charming expression, Zhu Haomiao instantly understood and pouted, furrowing his brows in annoyance.

"Teacher, I was about to give up."

"Oh, it was just to surprise you. Be good, don't be angry."

Getting up to ruffle Zhu Haomiao's head, Nangong Su'e smiled as if coaxing a child.
