A system?
So this was the standard transmigrator cheat, huh?
Nice.
The Rinnegan?
No need to explain—just one sentence was enough: "A single bag of rice can level several floors."
Thinking of the ridiculous destructive power he'd seen in the anime, Luo Bing couldn't suppress his excitement and opened the system interface in his mind.

The moment he saw the Rinnegan listed, a wave of ecstasy surged through Luo Bing's heart.
As a former hardcore anime fan, he knew exactly how terrifying the Rinnegan was in the Naruto world.
One "Shinra Tensei" had flattened the once-glorious Konoha into ruins.
A casually molded Chibaku Tensei could be used as a moon.
And that wasn't even counting all the other practical, almost cheat-like abilities.
The Six Paths of Pain existed precisely because of it.
To sum it up in one sentence—
Absolutely broken.
The only question was whether this world—built on spiritual energy and beast taming—would even allow chakra to exist.
With that concern in mind, Luo Bing asked internally,
"System, are spiritual energy and chakra part of the same system in this world?"
A stiff, mechanical voice replied,
"According to System qaq Protocol, all Rinnegan abilities will be converted into a form compatible with the current world's spiritual energy system."
"Good." Luo Bing nodded.
The last thing he wanted was to be captured by some deranged scientist and dissected alive for possessing an 'unexplainable energy source.'
With a testing mindset, he guided the spiritual energy within his body, channeling it toward his eyes.
In an instant, his pupils shimmered with a faint purple glow, sharply capturing the flow of spiritual energy in the surroundings.
Concentric ripple-like patterns emerged within his eyes—
The unmistakable sign of the Rinnegan.
However, due to the world's spiritual framework, the Rinnegan only revealed itself when activated. At rest, his eyes looked completely normal.
Which was perfect.
Otherwise, he'd have to wear sunglasses everywhere just to avoid being stared at like some freak.
"Shinra Tensei."
He muttered the words in his heart.
Nothing happened.
Luo Bing blinked.
"…Huh?"
He frowned. "Why is there no reaction? System, are you some bootleg product?"
The mechanical voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"The current Rinnegan level is too low to release Shinra Tensei. Please click the relevant ability entry for details."
Luo Bing let out a bitter laugh.
He'd already imagined summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path during the awakening ceremony and shocking the entire school.
Now it seemed that was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Opening the details page—Rinnegan.

…
Higher levels unknown.
After reading everything, Luo Bing was completely stunned.
S+ talent.
Even stronger than S—just a little.
This was enough to scare the entire school to death.
The only problem was—
It was ridiculously pay-to-win.
Forget Shinra Tensei—even unlocking a single basic Six Paths ability cost one million Federation Credits.
And that only unlocked one path.
He still owed rent.
Where the hell was he supposed to get that kind of money?
Times had really changed.
Even systems had started scamming players.
Still, Luo Bing remained optimistic.
With the Rinnegan's utility alone, making money was only a matter of time.
A mere one million credits would soon be nothing more than a "small goal."
Just then, the principal's voice came through the broadcast system.
"Students, I'll just say a few words."
…
Two hours later.
The impassioned speech finally came to an end.
"Clap clap clap clap—!"
"Finally, damn it, he's done!"
"Classic torture-ending boss. I'm sick of it!"
The students applauded with all their strength.
The thunderous clapping jolted Luo Bing awake from the edge of sleep.
"Now," Principal Chu Wentian said, still glowing with vigor,
"I hereby announce—the awakening ceremony officially begins."
With that, he returned to his seat.
At the same time, staff wheeled out egg-shaped awakening pods onto the open grounds.
Luo Bing recognized them instantly.
They were specialized instruments designed to test spiritual energy.
Using advanced technology, the pods detected the spiritual energy within a person's body, guided it, and triggered the awakening process.
Each pod was connected to a large screen to display the results in real time.
At the principal's signal, the supervising teachers began guiding students forward.
"Student No. 11156—Zhang Tianyu. Step onto the platform."
Moments later, the machine emitted a dim glow.
"Zhang Tianyu—E-rank Beast Taming Talent awakened: Lethal Tempo."
As the AI announcement finished, Zhang Tianyu walked out of the pod, visibly shaken but relieved.
Talent ranks, from high to low, were classified as:
S, A, B, C, D, E.
Lethal Tempo was the lowest E-rank talent.
It could only provide a short burst of minor attack speed to spirit beasts—borderline useless.
But it was still Beast Taming spiritual power.
That alone was enough to make him a Beast Tamer.
No matter what, his future prospects would far exceed those of non-awakened civilians.
The crowd outside cast envious looks.
"That's it—he's a Beast Tamer now, straight to the peak of life. I'm jealous."
"It's just a barely useful buff-type talent. Not even close to high-quality Guardian Spirit Beast talents."
"Oh, give it a rest. You're lucky if you get any talent. Half of all awakenings fail every year—don't tell me you think you're not part of that fifty percent."
Listening quietly, Luo Bing fell into deep thought.
Guardian Spirit Beast talents, as the name implied, meant that the talent itself manifested as a unique spirit beast.
No need to risk one's life contracting wild alien beasts.
You started the game with a beast companion.
More importantly—
Guardian Spirit Beasts would never betray their Beast Tamer.
They were essentially the embodiment of the Beast Tamer's own will.
On top of that, Guardian Spirit Beasts couldn't truly die.
As long as the Beast Tamer recovered their guardian spiritual energy, the beast could return to battle in perfect condition.
The downside was that damage taken by the Guardian Spirit Beast would be reflected onto the Beast Tamer's body.
Very Stand-like.
Because Guardian Spirit Beast awakenings were extremely rare, their owners were considered the aristocracy among Beast Tamers.
Originally, Luo Bing's goal had been to awaken a rare Guardian Spirit Beast.
But after obtaining the Rinnegan—
His horizons had expanded.
Guardian Spirit Beast?
Overhyped nonsense.
Even dogs wouldn't want it.
Could it beat the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?
