Kong Ming'an chuckled and continued his meticulous work.
The two remained locked in a stalemate.
A moment later, Kong Ming'an raised his hand, and a golden-green life force brushed across Hyotei's hand.
Instantly, the torn flesh on Hyotei's hand healed completely, returning to its original state, fair and white, without even a trace left, as if the terrifying "surgery" had been nothing but an illusion.
Hyotei let out a long breath and quickly returned to normal.
To reiterate, the surgery didn't really have any impact on her; it was just pure pain.
Hyotei moved her wrist slightly and confirmed that her hand was perfectly fine. She only felt a lingering, tingling pain, but it wasn't a major issue.
She felt the soul power module in her hand, which was incredibly clear in her mental perception, and then excitedly took out a Soft Bone Rabbit from the material area next to her.
A hint of anticipation flashed in her golden eyes as she began to try to activate the Ice Explosion spell that had just been "etched" into her instincts.
Kong Ming'an watched silently from the sidelines.
In the original work, Hyotei once said that if she possessed the Ice Blast Technique and was in the far north, she might have a chance to challenge Yuki-tei.
Of course, Kong Ming'an wasn't sure how true Hyotei's words were, but he hoped that Hyotei truly had that potential, so that he could have another top-tier ultimate combatant by his side.
Kong Ming'an did a quick calculation and assessed the high-end combat forces around him at that moment:
First is Elder Yi. His combat strength is somewhat unclear, but based on his current recovery, he is roughly at the level of a demigod or quasi-god.
My grandfather, Kong Deming, is currently level 98, a body cultivator with twin martial souls, and with his soon-to-be-completed natal soul tool, he can roughly be considered a demigod.
His own Snow Emperor, level ninety-nine, the ultimate ice and snow, even without considering other factors, is roughly a demigod. With the "Star Ring" he is currently cultivating, according to his calculations, his strength will definitely reach the level of a quasi-god when he has the third "Star Ring" or even just the second one.
Finally, there's Hyotei, who just joined and is currently a rising star.
Four individuals at the pinnacle of their power are theoretically capable of sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent. Even if the Sun Moon Sect were to directly wage war against the Three Kingdoms of Douluo, they would most likely emerge victorious.
But he wasn't going to do that.
There's nothing we can do; he's a "chosen one."
From the God of Destruction, he learned that he possessed 80% of the fortune accumulated over ten thousand years by a Douluo-level figure.
Kong Ming'an held goodwill towards this dimensional will that had "gone all in" on him.
Furthermore, his future plans, which currently only include creating new folders and folder names, include a complete overhaul of the Douluo Continent.
Compared to simply ascending to the realm of gods, he felt that personally integrating and elevating a plane would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
Given this premise, the continent should be unified by peaceful means as much as possible to minimize casualties.
After all, the death of a large number of living beings would put a burden on the will of the plane, just as the human body loses its important bacterial balance.
Unless absolutely necessary, he prefers a more complete and decisive victory, using it as a warning to others and a display of skill to secure a quick win.
Of course, evil spirit masters and evil spirit beasts are exceptions; they are all used as materials.
After a while, having blown up forty-six Soft-Boned Rabbits in a row, Hyotei was completely satisfied and returned from the experiment.
His golden eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of barely concealed excitement.
She shifted her gaze slightly, glancing at Kong Ming'an, who was leaning against the workbench, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment's hesitation, she awkwardly approached him and spoke in a slightly unnatural voice:
"Um, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Kong Ming'an snapped out of his daze, casually waved his hand, and then, in front of Hyotei, raised his hand and waved it again. Instantly, Hyotei felt that the value he had accumulated during this period of time was directly deducted by nearly half!
"Soul skill modules, plus surgery and treatment fees, are all charged on credit."
Hyotei stared blankly at the suddenly shrunken progress bar, then bristled:
"You! You're robbing me! This is what I've been saving up to exchange for divine energy! You inherently evil human, I'll fight you to the death!"
Kong Ming'an said calmly, "Don't want it? Then give me back 'Ice Blast'."
As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to grab Hyotei's right hand.
Hyotei instinctively let out a "ha," and like a kitten guarding its food, abruptly covered its chest with its right hand and took a few steps back, its golden eyes warily fixed on Kong Ming'an.
"Don't even think about it! It's mine!"
Kong Ming'an withdrew his hand and nodded: "Oh, so you agree to the deal."
Hyotei choked, feeling the crystal-clear Ice Explosion Soul Skill module in her mind, and then thinking about the value points deducted, her heart ached terribly.
However, it's absolutely impossible for her to give up the powerful skills she already possesses.
She looked up at Kong Ming'an, feeling utterly despicable, yet powerless to do anything about it! Helpless, she could only grit her teeth and mutter under her breath:
"asshole."
Kong Ming'an raised an eyebrow.
Is this really an insult directed at me?
Seeing Hyotei's flustered, yawning, and gritting-teeth yet helpless expression, Kong Ming'an found it all amusing.
He paused slightly, then suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "Oh, right, actually, that kind of pain could have been avoided."
Hyotei froze, then his eyes widened slightly: "Then why not avoid it?!"
Kong Ming'an spread his hands: "You didn't let me finish what I was saying."
ice King:"……"
Looking at Kong Ming'an's innocent expression, and recalling how she had just bluntly said "just go for it," she realized...
She clenched her fists so tightly her knuckles turned white, and a faint blush rose to her delicate face.
Um.
The girl blushed.
Their fists hardened.
Chapter 91 Wang Dong'er, Gu Qiu'er, and Gu Yue
Inside a clean and tidy single dormitory room at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in Mingdu.
A young girl stood by the window, gazing out the window.
The girl had long, blue-pink hair that resembled the interplay of dawn and clear sky, and her eyes were also a gradient of blue and pink, sparkling with light as she looked around; she was truly beautiful.
The girl had delicate features, and although she was still young, her figure was already quite well-developed.
At this moment, she was wearing the blue and white school uniform that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy provided for every student, with white pantyhose covering her legs, exuding a youthful vibe and revealing the liveliness of a young girl.
It was Wang Dong'er.
Her gaze was fixed on the view outside the window, on the magnificent city constructed of metal and soul-guided technology, bathed in the morning sunlight.
The towering soul-guided towers reflected dazzling light, and various soul-guided vehicles shuttled along the crisscrossing streets, creating a sense of order completely different from where she grew up.
At that moment, instinctively, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing the tense posture she had maintained for so long.
From Haotian Sect, then to Maple Leaf City, and finally to Mingdu, she traveled for months before finally arriving here.
Of course, although it took several months, the process was surprisingly smooth.
When she gets hungry, she might find a fruit tree by the roadside, or encounter some wild animals that she can handle. When she gets tired, she might meet a kind family who will give her a ride and let her stay overnight.
Even when she crossed the heavily guarded border between the sun and moon, she passed through easily without any major incidents; in short, she was very lucky.
Her purpose in coming to the Sun Moon Empire and Mingdu was very clear—she came to find her eldest and second fathers!
Although her nominal elders all said that her eldest and second uncles were dead, she refused to believe it. She had a premonition that her eldest and second uncles were just trapped somewhere and were definitely alright!
And she herself found the clues and found her eldest and second fathers!
Joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the first step.
Although she arrived outside of recruitment season and was younger than the standard age, when she revealed her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, her innate full soul power talent, and her two-ring configuration of one yellow and one purple rings...
The teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's admissions office did not hesitate to make an exception and admit her.
Just an hour after she underwent her entrance physical examination, a senior student came and brought her three sets of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy uniforms tailored to her size, along with various daily necessities. She also introduced her to various information about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, showing that the senior student took her very seriously.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over a brand-new soul-guided communicator on the bedside table; it was one of her many perks for enrolling in university.
However, the moment her gaze fell upon that spot, a slight, instinctive feeling of nausea arose within her, but she quickly suppressed it.
This was a feeling she had since birth; she always had a strange, almost soul-deep aversion to soul tools, and even looking at them for too long would make her uncomfortable.
But as time went by, especially after arriving in Mingdu where soul tools were omnipresent, this aversion seemed to lessen somewhat. Although it still existed, she could now overcome some of it.
Although the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are mostly Soul Masters, they are actually divided into two categories: Soul Tool Makers and Soul Tool Operators.
The former specializes in designing, inscribing, and crafting soul tools, while the latter focuses on how to use soul tools efficiently and accurately for various combat or support purposes.
Students need to pass corresponding level assessments to advance in their studies. For example, second-year students need to reach the level of a Level 2 Soul Instructor or Level 2 Operator, and so on.
If one can graduate with excellent grades in the sixth grade, one can directly enter the Mingde Hall, the holy land of all soul masters, for further study and obtain an independent workshop.
She knew she had a natural aversion to soul tools, and that creating them was a dead end.
However, after this period of forced adaptation, operating the soul tool was completely within her acceptable range.
"The first step has been successful. Next, we need to study the knowledge of soul tools, improve our strength, and then inquire about news of our eldest and second fathers."
Wang Dong'er spoke softly, took a deep breath, and patted her cheeks, trying to clear her mind.
At this moment, the brief moment of relaxation on her face was replaced by determination.
She is no longer the young master of the Haotian Sect, and no one will clean up the messes she makes, so she must learn to solve problems on her own and must work hard!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the soul-guided clock on the wall and realized it was already quite late. She grabbed a piece of bread prepared on the table, took a bite, and hurried out the door.
This year's freshmen have been in school for several months, and she must work twice as hard to keep up.
She stepped out of her room and quickly crossed the dormitory corridor, a piece of bread still dangling from her mouth.
However, just as she was about to rush out of the dormitory, two figures suddenly appeared in front of her. Seeing that they were about to collide, Wang Dong'er paused, instinctively releasing her martial spirit.
The enormous and dazzling wings of the Goddess of Light unfurled behind her in an instant, shimmering with blue, pink, and gold light, like a dream.
With a gentle flap of her wings, she nimbly rose into the air, gracefully skimming over their heads before landing steadily.
"sorry!"
Wang Dong'er quickly put away her martial spirit, turned around and hurriedly apologized before continuing to run towards the teaching building. The academy had regulations prohibiting the use of martial spirits and soul tools for flight in certain areas, and she didn't want to violate the school rules so soon after arriving.
A moment later, she arrived at the classroom. It was still early, so she found a seat and took out the thick book, "Basic Principles and Operation Overview of Soul Guidance Devices".
Although looking at those complex drawings and formulas made me feel dizzy and sleepy, I forced myself to continue reading. But after a while, two figures walking into the classroom one after the other caught my attention.
—They were the two girls she had almost bumped into at the door.
One was a girl with black hair and black eyes, possessing a cool and aloof demeanor that exuded an indescribable nobility and indifference, seemingly unconcerned about everything around her.
The other was a tall, slender girl with long, radiant blonde hair and eyes as bright as rubies. She possessed a spirited and exceptionally beautiful appearance.
Wang Dong'er recognized them, hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and walked over, politely introducing herself:
"Hello, my name is Wang Dong'er. I almost bumped into you at the door just now. I'm very sorry."
The two girls stopped in their tracks upon hearing the sound.
The black-haired, black-eyed girl stared calmly at Wang Dong'er for two seconds before speaking in a cool tone: "Gu Yue."
The blonde, red-eyed girl beside her seemed somewhat surprised that the black-haired, black-eyed girl next to her had spoken, but she also gave her name:
"I am Gu Qiu'er."
His tone was light and cheerful, with a touch of dashing spirit.
After saying that, the two walked straight to the other side of the classroom and sat down.
Chapter 92 Hyotei: He really does seem different from other humans.
Wang Dong'er watched their retreating figures without giving it much thought, and went straight back to her seat to continue cramming on knowledge about soul tools and catching up with the teaching progress.
On the other side, Gu Yue shut out the noise and calmly said to Qiu'er, "Qiu'er, you can keep an eye on Wang Dong'er for now, but don't get too close to her."
Qiu'er asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Master? Is there something special about her?"
