My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 112 Hela's Advancement, Wormhole Experiment (Day 12 )

In the Xingwu Era, because martial arts were prevalent, many things were done more efficiently and without dragging on their feet.

The speeches of Li Qin and several other provincial leaders did not last too long. After briefly talking about the precautions and time of the training camp, they dispersed and left.

The training camp will be held in five days at Longquan Budo University.

The best martial arts university in Longquan Province is located in Feixia City, the provincial capital, which means that students ranked in the top 200 need to leave school temporarily.

But this is a minor problem.

The Education Bureau of each city will send special personnel and vehicles to escort the qualified students, so there is no need to worry too much.

When everything was settled, Chu Mu took off his virtual helmet and took out the communicator immediately.

The call was connected, and Li Yuhua's concerned voice came from the other end, "Xiao Mu, are the results of the initial screening simulation out?"

"It's out. I'm ranked 63rd!" Chu Mu smiled. "In five days, the Qingcheng Education Bureau will send someone to take us to Longquan Wuda for intensive training for half a month. Food and accommodation will be provided after we get there."

He naturally knew what his mother was most concerned about, and he immediately said out in one breath the important things he had just heard.

"Okay, okay!" Li Yuhua's voice was filled with joy. "I'll buy some more dishes later and celebrate today!"

"Mom, I want to eat braised pork."

"No problem!" Li Yuhua replied with a smile.

There was a noise coming from the other end of the phone. Li Yuhua responded in a low voice, "Let's not talk about it for now. I'll make you something delicious when I get home in the evening."

The call was quickly disconnected.

Chu Mu had a smile on his face.

These days, my mother's health has completely improved and she is no longer weak. As she said before, she found a relatively easy job as a cashier in a large supermarket very close to home.

The mother who had been bedridden for ten years was unwilling to stay at home and be raised by her son. Chu Mu naturally understood her mentality.

The job was indeed not tiring, so he did not object.

After telling his mother the good news, Chu Mu immediately called Zhou Huan.

"Well done!" Zhou Huan laughed from the other end of the line. "I thought you would be ranked around 150th, but I didn't expect you to have already mastered the first sword of the Unparalleled Nine Swords."

Zhou Huan watched all ten of Chu Mu's battles.

"I just mastered it a few days ago." Chu Mu smiled, "Unfortunately, I didn't win ten games."

If we can win ten games, we might be able to rank in the top 50.

Those who are still at the second-level skills but have higher comprehensive scores than him are basically those who have not encountered the Void Realm in the match and have won ten games.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Huan was in a good mood. "As long as I can get into the top 200 and qualify for the training camp, that's enough."

"You started slower than others, but you have higher talent. Now you are like a sponge, able to continuously absorb and improve yourself."

"Seize this opportunity. Even if it's a re-screening, the teacher believes you have a chance of passing!"

"Yes!" Chu Mu nodded heavily.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then hung up after a while.

Chu Mu took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.

Practice, never stop!
-
"Ow!"

In the starry abyss, the vegetable dog's long beard trembled, and suddenly he let out a roar of joy.

Chu Mu paused, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

The D-level cosmic treasure that is about to mature has been found!
Hela, which has differentiated into various sub-bodies, has now swallowed and recovered all the sub-bodies except Hela No. 2 that entered the wormhole. At this moment, it has returned to the third level of the beast soldier level and only needs a cosmic treasure to advance.

The opening of the wormhole that accompanies the maturity of the cosmic treasure can verify Chu Mu and Gui Gui's previous speculations and see whether Hela can reconnect with Hela II on the other side of the wormhole.

Calling Turtle and Little Bear, the five animals quickly arrived at their destination.

Several beast soldier-level third-order star beasts guarding the immature D-level cosmic treasure looked desperate.

no…

It’s just a D-level cosmic treasure, and you want to snatch it from a fifth-level beast soldier?
Still three beast soldiers at level five!
With no other options, these level 3 beast soldiers could only retreat in disgrace.

Then, they found that even retreating was a luxury.

These robbers are targeting them too!
After killing all the star beasts guarding this place, Chu Mu locked his eyes on the cosmic treasure. After a moment's wait, the cosmic treasure was completely mature.

Chu Mu finished picking the treasure as soon as possible and threw it to Hela.

"Hiss~" (Ready to advance!)
A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Based on his own and several of his younger brothers' past breakthroughs, Chu Mu discovered a pattern, that is, when advancing from the third level of beast soldier level to the fourth level of beast soldier level, the star beast will gain an additional ability.

When star beasts advance, if they devour mature cosmic treasures as the energy required for advancement, they can also gain a certain ability.

Therefore, Hela's advancement this time can gain two abilities.

"Squeak~"

Hela let out an excited roar, first filling her stomach with the few unlucky guys she had just killed, raising her evolution level to 100%, then swallowed the cosmic treasure in one gulp and began to advance.

Along with drastic changes and pain, Hela's body length quickly climbed from about 30 meters to 80 meters. The number of eyes on her body became more and more dense, giving people a feeling of losing sanity at a glance.

At the same time, soft and thin tentacles began to appear on Hela's originally smooth body surface. These thin tentacles were attached to the body like hair, and each had a small spherical structure at the end.

Soon, Hela completed its advanced transformation. It suddenly opened all its tightly closed eyes and then extended a tentacle towards Chu Mu.

The tentacles quickly extended until they touched the mantis's body.

A clear thought appeared in Chu Mu's mind.

"Boss!"

A look of surprise flashed in Chu Mu's eyes.

This is... an ability similar to telepathy? !
In just a moment, Chu Mu realized the importance of this ability.

There is a certain barrier in the communication between star beasts. If two unfamiliar star beasts meet, it is easy for them to speak at cross purposes. Only after they become familiar with each other will communication become simple.

Transmitting messages through thoughts is a way to make communication efficient and accurate.

For Hela, who is positioned as a messenger, this ability is really suitable.

"Ow?"

"hold head high?"

There were screams from Cai Gou and Gui Gui at the side, and it was obvious that Hela had used the same ability on them.

Chu Mu's mind moved, and he asked with his mind.

“Besides this ability, what other new abilities have you acquired?” Hela sensed it briefly and gave a quick reply.

"I can now control no more sub-bodies than my eyes!"

No more than the number of eyes?
Chu Mu's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Hela's body.

"Don't count, there are 48 now~"

Can control up to 48 sub-bodies!
This wave…

Chu Mu and Guigui looked at each other.

You can conquer more star beasts and let them work for you!

Soon, the broken Hela began a new split.

Four offspring were split out by it and came into the bodies of Chu Mu, Cai Gou, Guigui and Little Bear respectively. Each offspring was only five or six meters long.

Unlike previous offspring, Hela's offspring now only has one eye, and every time it splits, Hela will lose an eye.

This situation had never happened before. Apparently, after the advancement, Hela's eyes were linked to her ability to control her sub-bodies. As a result, the number of eyes was subject to new restrictions, and the total number could not be easily changed.

Seeing this, Chu Mu's heart moved.

"Hela, if the child dies, will the number of eyes change?"

"The Devourer can recycle the eyes. If it can't be devoured, it can only grow again as it grows."

Hearing this, Chu Mu understood.

The substantial increase in the number of controlled offspring is not without cost.

But overall, Hela's advancement in this wave is still at its maximum strength.

Suddenly his expression changed, and Chu Mu's eyes looked fiercely towards a place not far away.

A certain point in the void is twisting, and this distortion is expanding rapidly, soon forming a hole.

The wormhole is opened.

Chu Mu didn't need to ask, because Hela, whose sub-body was in constant conscious communication with the mantis, had already conveyed the new idea with surprise.

"I can sense the sub-body on the other side!"

Feel?

A look of surprise and unexpectedness appeared in Chu Mu's eyes.

Regarding this, after he calmed down and thought about it carefully after the last experiment, he actually didn't have much hope.

The reason is simple. It is impossible for a wormhole to open again near Hela II, so even if Hela in the Star Abyss is close to the wormhole, Hela II on the other side is very far away from the other end of the wormhole.

But now, Hela gave him a surprise.

As long as one party gets close to the wormhole, they can feel each other?

If this is the case, he will be able to use Hela's offspring to explore the situation on the other side of the wormhole!

This is a completely new perspective, and perhaps it will lead to new discoveries!

However, before Chu Mu could be happy for too long, Hela began to feel a little more doubtful.

"The sub-body... seems to be a little different from before..."
-
Orlando Empire, Qiushi Star.

Hela II crawled deep underground, devouring the rocks and soil in its path. Its body length had grown from more than ten meters to more than twenty meters.

That was the result of it discovering an unknown crystal filled with cosmic energy deep underground a few days ago and swallowing it.

The newborn's consciousness is still very immature, but there seems to be a voice in its mind telling it: hide and devour growth.

It didn't know where that consciousness came from, but that consciousness made it feel extremely close, so it subconsciously chose to obey.

At a certain moment, Hela No. 2 paused.

It felt the presence of that extremely close consciousness and felt that the other party was controlling its body, but it did not reject this feeling.

It carefully attached its own consciousness to that extremely close consciousness and made a call.

"Mother…"
-
"So, after you disconnected from the sub-body last time, a new consciousness was born in the sub-body, and the new consciousness regarded you as its mother?"

Chu Mu was a little confused after receiving the feedback from Hela.

This development was completely different from what he had expected.

There was excitement in Hela's eyes. This feeling was also new to her.

"My consciousness can still control the body and take the lead. When my consciousness is separated, it can control the body."

"And I can communicate with it consciously and gain all its memories!"

Chu Mu was shocked and quickly realized what this meant.

Hela gained a secondary consciousness that could make her body move when communication between the two sides was disconnected.

After all, the time when the wormhole is open is short.

If the actions of the daughter body are only controlled when the wormhole is open, the efficiency of exploring the original universe will be very low.

With the existence of such a secondary consciousness, Hela can truly explore the original universe and share the results of the exploration with herself.

"Turtle told me to send another sub-body in."

Hela sent a thought again.

Hearing this, Chu Mu subconsciously looked at the turtle. After a moment, he suddenly realized its intention and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

What will happen if we send another offspring over there?
Hela 3? Or is Hela 2 controlling two sub-bodies at the same time?
"Hiss!" (Try it!)

Soon, Hela split into a new body.

This sub-body has only one eye, but its body length is 20 meters, and its strength has reached the third level of beast soldier.

As the offspring entered the wormhole, Hela quickly gave feedback.

"The opponent has a lot of creatures, but they are weak."

"They seemed afraid of me, but the threat of their attacks was limited."

The first technological civilization to open a wormhole?

Chu Mu looked around.

Attracted by the wormhole, many star beasts have gathered around, but the aura of him and his younger brothers is too terrifying, so these star beasts dare not come forward.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu pointed towards the wormhole.

"Hiss!" (The first level of beast soldiers go in, the others stay behind!)
