You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 223 A true genius has been born!

Faced with the volcanic eruption of questions emanating from the very depths of the will of hell, the God of Blood Prison fell into a near-frozen silence.

This silence stemmed not from awe, but from anger.

Deep within His mind, constructed of divine rules and ancient wisdom, a deeply unpleasant conclusion had already clearly taken shape.

He was tricked by the will of hell!

If the Red Heart Society truly has the Abyss's Will or even some primordial demons behind it, how could the Hell's Will, with its intense monitoring of the Abyss, possibly fail to detect even the slightest direct evidence pointing to it?

[In which major conspiracy by the Abyss against Hell did the Will of Hell not have foreseen part or even the whole picture beforehand?]

[This is a crucial event concerning the Red Heart Society, an event in which the God of Blood Prisons might be involved, yet the Will of Hell remains completely unaware?]

Is this reasonable?

The only explanation is that the will of hell is using Him!

[Either they deliberately provided vague information to lure Him into testing the limits of the Abyss God's reaction.]

[Or perhaps they view Him as a disposable pawn, used to test the underlying power structure of the Red Heart Society.]

[Whichever it is, it has crossed the line for a true God.]

Since the other party has crossed His bottom line, He will not give them a pleasant look.

After all, as true gods of hell, they are different from the demon gods in the abyss.

While the individual combat strength of the Hell-type True Gods may be slightly inferior to that of the Demon Gods, they possess greater leeway in matters of discretion.

Compared to the endless abyss, the foundation of hell ultimately seems much weaker.

This results in the Hellish Will's control over its true gods being far less absolute than the Abyss Will's control over demon gods.

[Even in order to prevent the loss or backlash of high-end combat power, the Will of Hell often has to adopt a strategy of negotiation and enticement to compel the true gods to serve.]

Harsh commands are simply not applicable to the true God.

This is the helplessness that comes with a weak foundation; the will of hell simply dares not be too harsh on high-level forces.

[The reason why the God of Blood Prison can now flip the table and refuse to play stems precisely from this!]

In March of the 150th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society occupied more than one-third of the Howling Wilds' territory.

[Once the Red Heart Society gains absolute control over more than one-third of the area, breaking the Hellish Will's absolute control over the Howling Fields, the Red Heart World Will can then extend from the Red Heart Society as the link.]

However, just to be on the safe side, you decided to wait a while longer.

Whether it's the achievements in soul research or the expansion of the Red Heart Society's territory, these all need time to develop.

In July of the 151st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, under the guidance and command of Elder Jian and the Star Demon Supreme, Elder Jun finally broke through to level 98.

Although Elder Jun was very satisfied with his own cultivation progress, Elder Jian also praised his old friend's cultivation speed.

However, the Star Demon Supreme felt that Elder Jun's talent and comprehension were too poor!

How could someone with extraordinary abilities be stuck in a soul realm for so long?

[Especially under the guidance of two powerful demigods?]

This is absolutely awful!

Faced with the Star Demon Supreme's criticism, Elder Jun humbly accepted the criticism.

From the perspective of the Star Demon Supreme, his talent was indeed very poor.

Since they weren't wrong, and they did indeed help me a lot, isn't it normal for them to criticize me a few times?

In April of the 152nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, deep within the Crimson Heart Academy—a place resembling a giant planet of knowledge—located in orbit around the capital region of the Crimson Heart World, a silent warning arose from within the academy.

On the academy's light screen, constructed of flowing energy plates, a series of constantly leaping data waterfalls, like volcanic eruptions, were pushing the limits of all observers' cognition.

[A true prodigy in martial arts research has emerged within the Crimson Heart Academy's Martial Arts Department.] [Zhou Mo, a freshman who appeared unremarkable during the initial registration process, even gaining admission through the martyr's route based on his father's war merits, accomplished a feat that shook the entire Crimson Heart Academy leadership in less than a standard year after enrolling.]

This young man, relying solely on access to the university's public laboratories—access to what professors considered basic teaching tools—and a vast public database, independently completed partial optimizations and reconstructions of the Red Heart Society's two core foundational techniques.

He didn't even touch the core driving formula of the technique; he merely made minor adjustments to the interface efficiency of the operational logic, the loop compression of energy nodes, and the temporary storage structure after the absorption of rule fragments.

However, this seemingly insignificant change among countless cultivation entries, after being analyzed by the academy's highest-level mainframe, concluded that the overall efficiency of the cultivation technique had steadily increased by 1.7%.

[Both applicability and energy conversion ceiling have been simultaneously increased by approximately 0.8%!]

[This improvement rate may seem small and insignificant, but it targets the core cultivation technique that has been optimized and honed to near perfection through countless battles, covering hundreds of billions of Red Heart Society warriors.]

This is like precisely cutting off a single gram of waste material from ten thousand tons of gold; the difficulty and value of this task far exceed imagination.

This explosive report and all the raw data were immediately presented to the former principal of Chixin Academy, who was also a member of the Chixin Society's Supreme Committee.

The elderly man, whose lifelong ambition was to "educate the nation's most talented individuals," held the data tablet with trembling hands, his eyes even slightly moist.

Such a prodigy!

[Potentially a leading figure in contemporary research on the Red Heart Society!]

The appearance of such an unprecedentedly talented individual naturally triggered the Red Heart Society's highest-level contingency plan for dealing with prodigies.

[Directly reach the founders of the Red Heart Society, no hierarchical reporting required!]

[On the morning of the second day after Zhou Mo had just completed his first oral presentation of the plan and was still under the special protective review and isolation measures at the university, you directly issued the highest-level meeting permission.]

But the moment you saw them, you noticed their timid and hesitant nature.

The next moment, a barely perceptible chill replaced the expected appreciation.

The boy was thin and frail, his head bowed, his hands nervously clasped together. Even facing the supreme symbol of the entire Pure Heart World, he did not display the composure or sharpness expected of an extraordinary genius.

On the contrary, it's a deep-seated, timid, and self-repressed feeling, like that of a frightened herbivore!

This kind of personality definitely has a problem.

This aura is severely out of sync with the soul strength and comprehension talent that should match his abilities!

[Without any verbal command, and even the instant the cold glint in your eyes vanished, the command lights of the core processors of the Red Heart Society's highest oversight bodies—the Soul Tribunal and the Shadow Guard—standing in your shadow, had already lit up with the highest priority.]

The highest-level investigation warrant, issued as Zhou Mo stepped out of the hall, had already enveloped his entire past like an invisible net!

According to the Red Heart Society's regulations, regardless of his prodigy status, Zhou Mo's identity as a hero's orphan should warrant preferential treatment from top to bottom within the Red Heart Society.

This is the promise that Chixin Society makes to all the loyal soldiers fighting on the front lines!

This is, above all, the fundamental principle upon which the Chixin Society finds its place and thrives!

Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

【as expected!】

[Her timid and submissive personality stems from childhood tragedy, bullying at school, and the harm inflicted by certain corrupt individuals.]

[You look at the investigation report in your hand, and your brow furrows slightly.]

Those who have contributed to the Red Heart Society should not be treated this way.

Although you didn't say it explicitly, the immense power of the Red Heart Society and the relentless war defeats didn't faze its founder, Yu Xiaogang, with the slightest change in expression.

The fact that this matter made you frown and make such a comment is enough to show your anger and impatience.

Therefore, Lin Xue personally ordered the Red Heart Society's internal guards to investigate the matter.

A major storm targeting the education sector of the Red Heart Society has begun to sweep across the entire organization.
