Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

"Her soul carries a faint trace of divine consciousness; judging from her aura, she is the sea god from ten thousand years ago."

Qiu'er was taken aback: "Sea God? A deity from the divine realm?" After a pause, Qiu'er's eyes thoughtfully considered for a moment, then a serious look flashed in them: "Then, should we..."

"No need."

Gu Yue softly rejected the idea, turning a page of her book: "She carries the marks of fate's arrangement, obvious yet subtle, as if it were decided on the spur of the moment."

"So it might be the work of the plane's will, roughly a kind of opportunity or test that was actively sent to that 'chosen one'."

She paused, then continued, "You can vaguely sense the direction of the chosen one, but it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location. Perhaps by using this trace of destiny that has been arranged for her, you can find your target more easily."

Qiu'er nodded knowingly: "I understand. I will find an opportunity to get to know her a little better."

Gu Yue's gaze was calm, and he said no more, turning his attention back to the book in his hand, made of a special material and with the words "Initial Understanding of Soul Rings" written on the cover.

Compared to Wang Dong'er, who had just arrived, she and Qiu'er had already enrolled, and she had been instrumental in disguising them perfectly, their ages and displayed cultivation levels being just right.

She subtly revealed her astonishing "talent" in mental power and soul tool manufacturing, receiving some preferential treatment in resources.

Subsequently, she was recruited by a school club called "Sun and Moon".

She investigated the club and learned that it had only been established for about a year, but had quickly absorbed many of the outstanding clubs within the college. It was rumored that the club had received approval and support from Dean Jing Hongchen.

Most of its members are outstanding students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, or students with exceptional talents.

Therefore, in order to better fit the identity of "human students", she and Qiu'er joined the club together. After signing a confidentiality agreement that strictly prohibited the disclosure of information, they obtained the cultivation materials circulating within the club.

““Dharma Cultivation”.” Gu Yue’s fingertips gently brushed over the pages of the book, where the theories overturned traditional understanding of Soul Masters, and she murmured softly.

Her gaze shifted, and she glanced at another book that Gu Qiu'er was studying beside her. The cover read "Detailed Explanation of Body Cultivation (Beginner)".

"Body Cultivation."

According to Qiu'er's feedback, the path of "body cultivation" is exceptionally compatible with her Golden Dragon Martial Soul.

Gu Yue herself was quite curious about "body cultivation," but unfortunately, her contractual permissions did not allow her to access related information at the moment.

The contract was extremely precise. Although she had the means to forcibly erase it, it would inevitably trigger an alarm and pose a risk of exposure.

Calming herself, she temporarily suppressed her curiosity and focused her attention on the "Dharma Cultivation" theory in her hands.

"Soul rings. So this is how they can be used? Peeling off remnant souls, modularization, self-condensation. How interesting."

A barely perceptible hint of purple flashed deep within Gu Yue's dark eyes, and a strong interest rose within them.

While she couldn't pinpoint the originator of this seemingly revolutionary theory, her intuition told her it was highly likely related to the "Child of Destiny" who possessed immense fortune.

Honestly, I'm getting more and more curious.

She was increasingly looking forward to meeting this "chosen one".

……

……

As time passed and the outside world developed, subtle changes also occurred within the laboratory.

The cool-toned lighting in the laboratory created a tranquil and harmonious scene.

A petite girl dressed in an exquisite white and green dress sat on one side of a cool workbench.

Those small feet, covered in sheer black stockings, idly swayed, their toes deliberately or unintentionally brushing against the numerous pale blue energy models that appeared beside the boy working at his desk.

Hyotei leaned on the table with one hand, while the other hand unconsciously fiddled with a stack of slightly curled storybooks beside him.

These were all given to her by the boy in front of her to keep her from getting bored, and she did indeed read them with great interest. Unfortunately, she had already finished reading them all, and had even looked at them several times over.

Meanwhile, the boy, engrossed in his deductions, completely forgot to replenish her "stock."

Unconsciously, Hyotei puffed out one cheek, her golden eyes slightly shifting, her gaze finally settling on the profile of the boy working at his desk so close to her right thigh.

snort.

She couldn't help but let out a soft snort in her heart, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment and discontent, as well as a trace of observation.

During her time serving as Xue Di's bodyguard, she gained a clearer understanding of Kong Ming'an's daily life.

This guy's life was frighteningly routine. Most of the time, he was like this, writing and drawing on the light screen on his workbench, surrounded by countless special structures made of blue energy lines that she couldn't understand.

strange guy

Hyotei muttered to herself, but she did believe to some extent what Yuki-tei had said earlier, that "he is different from other humans."

After all, what normal human being spends all their time in a laboratory?

Of course, this guy isn't without his merits; at least he never brushed off her questions.

She asked, and he answered; he never gave her a perfunctory answer.

Just keeping watch over this guy every day isn't so boring; at least it's more interesting than waking up to hunt, eat, sleep, and just spacing out for long periods in the far north.

Hyotei used a stack of storybooks as a cushion, resting one hand on it, palm supporting her chin, her gaze slightly lowered, gently tracing the profile of the boy working with his eyes downcast.

Long eyelashes cast soft shadows beneath his eyes, and his slightly pursed lips conveyed a sense of focus. His already handsome features gained an added touch of serene charm as he immersed himself in thought.

Hyotei watched intently, and had to admit that the way this guy worked quietly was much more pleasing to the eye than when he was performing surgery on her with a carving knife.

Hyotei's thoughts were scattered, but suddenly, Kongming'an's hand paused.

The faint blue light in his eyes disappeared, and his focused gaze returned to its usual clear and ordinary look.

Hyotei, who was somewhat lost in thought, suddenly paused, then quickly grabbed a book beside her and pretended to look down and flip through it.

Then, she calmly lowered her gaze to look at the boy, her tone cold and indifferent:

".it's over?"

Kong Ming'an turned his head, about to speak, but his gaze paused slightly on Hyotei's hand.

After a brief silence, Kong Ming'an reached out and straightened the book she was holding upside down, then spoke:

"Elder Yi has emerged from seclusion. Let's go see him together."

"Ah? Oh!"

Hyotei was taken aback at first, then her cheeks flushed slightly. She tried to explain, but saw that Kong Ming'an had already turned and walked away.

"No, wait for me!"

She quickly spoke, jumped off the workbench, and hurried after him.

The figure ahead didn't turn around, but subtly slowed its pace, allowing Hyotei to easily keep up beside it.

"Listen to me, it was an accident!" Hyotei quickly explained.

"Yes, I believe you," Kong Ming'an said without turning his head.

ice King:"……"

It's obvious from this that they don't believe me!

Her fist hardened again.

Chapter 93 Fusion Ascension Technique

After a while,

The two arrived at the heavy metal door of the Electrolux laboratory.

Ignoring the fuming Hyotei behind him, who seemed ready to punch him, Kong Ming'an channeled his soul power, and after verification, the heavy metal door slid open silently.

Kong Ming'an strode in without hesitation, while Hyotei, standing beside him, wore a slightly strange expression.

She hadn't sensed it through the door just now, but now, she could clearly feel a deep, deathly stillness permeating the laboratory in front of her.

This made her instinctively think of evil spirit beasts and evil spirit masters.

However, upon closer inspection, one can sense a strange sense of light.

Hyotei unconsciously frowned slightly, and subconsciously moved a little closer to Kong Ming'an, mimicking the way she remembered the Snow Empress, lagging behind him by half a step. Her golden eyes scanned the surroundings warily yet with a hint of curiosity.

With Xue Di absent, she has to take over Xue Di's work properly.

Soon, the two followed the passage to the depths of the laboratory, where they saw a figure in a wide gray robe slowly turn around.

This was a handsome man with long, naturally flowing gray-white hair and deep, golden eyes that seemed to have witnessed countless years and contained boundless wisdom.

Kong Ming'an looked at the unfamiliar young face, paused slightly, and hesitated before speaking:

"Yilao?"

"What, you can't recognize me just because I look different?"

The man chuckled, but his voice, though not befitting his age, was an aged tone that Kong Ming'an recognized.

This is clearly Electrolux.

After his identity was confirmed, a hint of curiosity appeared in Kong Ming'an's eyes: "What's this all about?"

"That's all thanks to you."

Electrolux smiled calmly and explained:

"Thanks to your theory of 'elementalization' in 'Dharma Cultivation,' I have reversed its deduction and incorporated some of my new understandings of the laws of life and death."

"Subsequently, a method was constructed that could reconstruct the body using elements and then fix it in place."

"Essentially, this body is a material vessel reshaped with the element of light as its bones, the power of the dead as its flesh and blood, and my wisp of divine consciousness as its core."

Electrolux briefly touched upon the complex principles and risks involved, and outlined the overall approach.

Kong Ming'an seemed to be deep in thought. This method had the potential to be further developed. If successful, it could probably strengthen "elementalization" and "blood and qi transformation" to a certain extent.

"Afterwards, I will organize all the results of this retreat and hand them over to you."

"The energy conversion, material construction, and soul anchoring involved here can be of general reference value to you."

Seemingly sensing what Kong Ming'an was thinking, Electrolux spoke up.

Kong Ming'an nodded and said earnestly, "Thank you very much, Elder Yi."

Electrolux waved his hand: "It's just mutual help, no need to thank me. Let's see what I've accomplished this time."

As soon as Electrolux finished speaking, nine gray spirit rings quietly rose from beneath his feet, pulsating slowly and emanating a familiar aura of sacred stillness.

Behind Kong Ming'an, the Ice Emperor was on high alert. Facing a powerful human, even knowing that the other party seemed to be one of her own, she still instinctively became wary.

Kong Ming'an completely ignored the oppressive aura emanating from the spirit ring. A faint blue light shone in his eyes, clearly revealing the spirit ring's energy structure and its true nature. A hint of surprise unconsciously appeared on his face.

A hundred thousand year soul ring!

At this moment, all nine of Electrox's spirit rings were over 100,000 years old!

Electrolux smiled slightly and slowly began to explain:

"In summary, I have achieved two main results from this retreat. First, I call it the 'Fusion and Limit-Up Method'."

"It was completed by combining the two techniques, based on the 'Ring Fusion' method and drawing on the ideas for upgrading Soul Rings from the Body Sect's secret techniques you provided."

"This method can permanently increase the maximum age of the main soul ring and the maximum load of the soul skill module by fusing soul rings. The fused soul ring is no different from the soul ring of an ordinary magic cultivator."

Elixir paused, then pointed to the spirit rings on his body:

"I used this method to upgrade my spirit rings to this level, however, this method has two obvious limitations."

"Firstly, it places an enormous burden on the body. The energy required to upgrade the spirit ring's age is a huge burden for 'magic cultivators' who primarily focus on mental control and whose physical bodies are relatively fragile in the early stages."

"I suggest waiting until you obtain your seventh spirit ring and master 'Elementalization,' achieving a qualitative leap in your energy control as a 'Mage,' before attempting this."

"Of course, those who specialize in physical cultivation can try this method in advance, since a strong body will withstand spirit rings much more easily."

"Secondly, there is the issue of the upper limit of the time limit."

"Based on current experiments, theoretically, spirit rings with a lifespan of up to one million years can be obtained using this method. However, high-lifespan spirit rings require very high physical fitness, so it is not recommended to attempt this method."

"It is recommended to first obtain nine 100,000-year soul rings before continuing to increase the age limit."

Kong Ming'an was slightly surprised.

As he expected, Elder Yi did not disappoint, successfully developing a method to reliably increase the age of spirit rings.

The only slight pity is that he cannot yet withstand a 100,000-year-level spirit ring. Of course, this is not a major problem.

Although he has almost completely stopped cultivating now, and his soul power increases entirely through the fully automatic cultivation of the "Holy Guidance Soul Ring," his soul power still increases very quickly.

His powerful control over energy meant he didn't need to worry about the Holy Guidance Soul Ring absorbing too much spiritual energy and going out of control. Therefore, he pushed the power level of the Holy Guidance Soul Ring to an extremely high level.
