Chapter 23: The strength lies not in the Star Source, but in the Heavenly Dao Fate Master.
Three days after the final assessment, in the medical room of the Ember Base.

"Well"

Chen Kong struggled to open his eyes, his vision filled with blinding white light.

He instinctively tried to raise his hand to cover himself, but found that his body was immersed in a light blue nutrient solution, and his body was covered with various tubes and instruments.

"Doctor, Chen Kong is awake!"

When a nurse from the medical team saw that Chen Kong, who had been in a coma for three days, had finally woken up, she immediately called the attending physician.

After a thorough examination, they finally determined that Chen Kong had not only completely passed the danger period.

And for some reason, his body was free of any hidden injuries.

It was as if he wasn't the one who was wheeled into the medical room with shattered bones and severe damage to multiple organs.

However, they weren't too surprised by this monstrous regenerative ability.

After all, no matter how ordinary Chen Kong may appear, he is still one of the children of the stars.

Behind the scenes, the medical team members all referred to the Star Children as little monsters.

Each of them was so muscular that they looked nothing like humans.

Even so, the medical team still dared not be careless.

After conducting a more detailed and comprehensive inspection of the dust and air.

They unanimously agreed that Chen Kong was out of danger and could be moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Kong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was completely naked and locked in a nutrient tank, surrounded by a group of people.

Although everyone says it's all for his own good.

But for Chen Kong, who is already twelve years old and has developed a certain concept of gender, this is different.

This situation is still rather awkward.

After all, there were quite a few nurses among those watching him!
Half a day later, Chen Kong, dressed in a white hospital gown, arrived at the exclusive training ground for the Star Children with the help of a nurse.

As a patient recovering from a serious illness, Chen Kong should have stayed in the sanatorium for a while longer.

Through the nurses, Chen Kong learned that eleven Star Children had obtained their own Star Source.

Out of curiosity about the combination of 'Star Source' and 'Star Core', Chen Kong took the initiative to ask to come and see the training ground.

"Huh? Your injury healed so quickly?"

As soon as Chen Kong entered the indoor training ground, Jing Liuli, who had been lying on the edge of the training ground slacking off, immediately noticed him.

Seeing that the person speaking to him was Jing Liuli, whom he rarely saw, Chen Kong immediately said somewhat reservedly, "Yes, I just woke up this morning."

Upon hearing this, Jing Liuli, unusually, gave up slacking off and sat up directly from the ground.

"Since you only woke up this morning, why didn't you sleep a little longer in the treatment room?"

"You know, I went to the medical team to apply for sick leave several times before, but these annoying guys not only kept refusing me, but also threatened me that if I dared to bother them again, they would tell Instructor Yunmeng about my sick leave, which made me afraid to go even when I was really sick."

"So, why didn't you cherish this great opportunity to slack off? You're so strange."

Chen Kong awkwardly scratched his cheek, not knowing how to answer Jing Liuli's question for a moment.

After all, it's rather strange that she's always trying to find different ways to slack off.

Just as Chen Kong was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Jing Liuli was acting very strangely.

Because Jing Liuli was clearly speaking fluently to herself at that moment.

But not only were her eyes closed, but there was also glistening drool at the corner of her mouth, making her look like she was fast asleep.

Just as Chen Kong was filled with doubt, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"That's Liuli's Star Source - Daydream. Its basic effect is that it allows her to maintain a deep sleep while she is awake. The way to cultivate it is to sleep more and dream more."

"Although I really don't want to say it, this Star Source has, to some extent, enhanced her ability to slack off, because outsiders have no idea whether she is actually slacking off or cultivating."

Chen Kong looked in the direction of the sound and found that his older sister, Chen Xing, had suddenly appeared behind him without his knowledge.

Because of his long-standing fear of Chen Xing, Chen Kong subconsciously lowered his head upon seeing her, appearing very humble.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xing immediately felt an urge to curse at him.

However, considering Chen Kong's behavior a few days ago, Chen Xing ultimately took back what he was about to say.

And unusually, he said in a gentle tone, "Be confident, Kong. You are no longer that good-for-nothing that everyone looks down on."

"After all, if it weren't for you, Rin and I wouldn't have been able to hurt that guy back then."

That being said, it is difficult for a person's personality to change in a short period of time.

Therefore, even if they gained the approval of Dust Star.

But Chen Kong still couldn't muster any confidence.

Chen Xing could only shake his head helplessly, then reached out his hand to Jing Liuli beside him.

"Liuli, give me another dream candy."

"do not want!"

Liuli hugged the pillow tightly and said angrily, "You still haven't given me the dessert you owed me yesterday, and now you want it back? I'm not giving it to you."

Seeing that Liuli not only disobeyed but also dared to provoke him, Chenxing sneered, then grabbed Liuli's collar and shook her violently.

Da da da.
As the dust trembled, colorful candies quickly poured out of the glass's pajama pocket.

These uniquely shaped candies refract rainbow-like halos under the sunlight, making them very tempting.

Chenxing bent down to pick up one of the candies, then stuffed the rest back into Jing Liuli's pajama pocket.

"Just one. Including the few from the past two days, I'll repay you with the organization's dessert later."

"Liar!"

Liuli sat up angrily: "Didn't you lose all your desserts to the Heavenly Dao?! How are you going to give me back my money?!"

"..."

Chen Xing's face stiffened, and the air suddenly froze.

According to her bet with Tiandao, her desserts for the next three months will belong to Tiandao.

She really couldn't come up with any dessert.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing rarely showed an embarrassed expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Chen Kong, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and immediately smoothed things over.

"Sister Liuli, please have my dessert."

Upon hearing this, Liuli, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and exclaimed with shining eyes, "One month!"

"Liuli, don't go too far. I only asked for a few Dream Candies from you, and you want my brother's desserts for a month. Do you think this is a fair deal?"

"At most a week, otherwise I'll find a way to pay you back myself."

Forced by Chen Xing's tyranny, Jing Liuli finally relented.

"Alright, alright, one week it is, but let me make this clear first, you can't steal my sweet dream candy like this again."

"no problem."

Just as Chen Xing and Jing Liuli finalized their future candy deal, a huge tremor suddenly occurred in the previously peaceful training ground.

The sudden earthquake caused Chen Kong, who was still recovering from his injuries, to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

Fortunately, the nurse next to him reacted quickly and immediately caught him.

The earthquake came quickly and went quickly.

After everything calmed down, Chen Kong asked with lingering fear, "Sister, what was that just now? Did someone suddenly attack the base?"

Faced with Chen Kong's question, Chen Xing remained silent, seemingly unwilling to answer.

Jing Liuli, standing nearby, seemed unconcerned, saying casually, "It's nothing. It's probably just the Heavenly Dao researching his Star Origin. It's normal."

"what?"

Upon hearing Jing Liuli's words, Chen Kong was stunned.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of exaggerated research into star sources could produce such an exaggerated commotion.

"Is the Heavenly Dao's Star Source very strong? Otherwise, how could it have caused such a commotion?"

Upon hearing Chen Kong's words, Jing Liuli's face showed a strange expression, as if she was wondering why Chen Kong could say such a thing.

Before Jing Liuli could speak, Chen Xing gave the answer first.

"The true strength lies not in the Star Source, but in the Heavenly Dao."

"Because if it weren't for the Heavenly Dao, I really can't imagine who could develop that kind of star source to this extent."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong immediately showed curiosity.

I'm curious about what the Heavenly Dao is doing to create such an exaggerated commotion.

Seeing his expression, Chen Xing immediately said, "Let's go. Since you want to see, then let you see."

"Anyway, the Heavenly Dao doesn't care whether people know about the effects of his Star Source."

"Because he said three days ago that only the weak worry about being targeted and live cautiously. The real strong are those who have the confidence to be the only ones who matter in the world."

"Therefore, even if his Star Source ability were made known to everyone, he wouldn't care at all."

"Because he is the master of destiny, he is not afraid of any challenge from anyone."

Chen Kong opened his mouth, and the arrogant tone of the Heavenly Dao when he said those words naturally came to mind.

"That really fits Brother Tiandao's personality."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing snorted coldly, clearly not wanting to dwell on the topic any further.

After all, she once naively believed that as long as she obtained the Star Source, she could achieve her goal.

Then she can quickly narrow the gap between herself and the Heavenly Dao, and completely catch up with that guy.

But the harsh reality three days ago gave her another resounding slap in the face.

Because after obtaining the Star Source, the gap between her and the Heavenly Dao not only did not narrow, but actually widened.

PS: Despite giving it my all, I was still unable to defeat the monster at midnight; a narrow defeat.
