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

However, aside from this publicly acknowledged vice president, the only other publicly known figure is Poison Undying, the super-strong individual from the Body Sect who repeatedly assaulted Shrek Academy's Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi in the street. Poison Undying is the chief enforcer of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, responsible for handling internal violations and illegal activities, as well as external threats.

However, there is absolutely no information about the chairman, which leaves much to the imagination.

I really wonder what kind of person the president of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce is, who has developed the chamber to its current state in just a few years.

Ning Tian thought with a mixture of curiosity and awe, while the conversation beside him was drawing to a close.

Ju Zi stood up, a formulaic smile on her face: "Sect Leader Ning, let me see you off."

Ning Fengya smiled and replied, "President Orange is very busy, no need to be so polite."

Just as the two were exchanging their usual pleasantries, ripples suddenly appeared in the air in the center of the office, spreading like waves on water.

The next moment, a figure silently appeared, its face covered by a simple, pure white mask, obscuring its features. Only a pair of black eyes beneath the mask looked over with a hint of surprise.

"?!"

From beneath Ning Fengya's feet, a dark figure instantly emerged, shielding Ning Fengya and Ning Tian behind him. The aura of a Title Douluo flashed, and the figure was on high alert.

"It seems I've disturbed you."

A clear and calm young voice came from behind the mask, with a slight apology in its tone.

Ning Fengya paused slightly, subconsciously pondering the boy's identity, but Ju Zi turned to look at her and then spoke directly to her:

"Sect Leader Ning, then please take care and don't see me off."

Ning Fengya: "..."

If I remember correctly, you were just about to personally see me out, weren't you?

Chapter 98 All in, Growing Up, and the Recording Device

Ning Fengya was naturally perceptive enough to understand the atmosphere. She nodded slightly to Ju Zi, then lingered briefly on the mysterious young man, giving him a respectful nod in return. After that, she pulled Ning Tian along and quickly left the office with the titled Douluo.

After leaving the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce's headquarters and getting into the soul-guided vehicle, Ning Fengya asked after driving some distance, "Elder Ying, what about that person just now?"

The old man's voice in the passenger seat was dry and tinged with lingering fear:

"Sect Master, his appearance was undoubtedly due to spatial abilities, but what's even more terrifying is that as soon as he appeared, and I locked onto him with my mental energy and tried to observe him, I was immediately locked onto by a killing intent."

"That boy has someone protecting him in secret, and his cultivation level far surpasses mine; he's at least a Super Douluo of level ninety-seven or higher!"

Ning Fengya remained silent, while Elder Ying hesitated slightly before tentatively asking, "Sect Master, should we investigate this?"

"No need to investigate." Ning Fengya shook her head, her resolve growing stronger.

That young man must have a very high status within the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, and he must have a Super Douluo protecting him closely.

Ning Fengya took a deep breath.

All in, I have to go all in!

I must go back and persuade the elders to expedite a deeper level of cooperation and partnership between the sect and the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce!

Her intuition told her that this was an unprecedented opportunity for the rise of her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

……

……

Meanwhile, in the office, the atmosphere eased slightly after Ning Fengya and the others left.

"President." Orange stood respectfully in front of the boy, her posture upright, presenting herself completely.

The boy raised his hand, removed the mask from his face, revealing a handsome face.

Year after year has passed, and the boy who was once somewhat naive now seems to have matured.

His eyes were as black as ink, and his temperament was refined and gentle, like a finely carved piece of jade, its brilliance understated yet impossible to ignore.

In short, they've grown up and become adults.

"Long time no see, Sister Orange." Kong Ming'an raised her hand and greeted her softly with a warm smile.

Orange paused briefly, a thought flashing through her mind.

When she first met the boy many years ago, he was much shorter than her, with a delicate and adorable face that made one want to hold him in their arms.

Now, however, she has to look up slightly to meet his gaze.

And his hands seemed much bigger; if he gripped my neck and squeezed hard...

Orange paused slightly, but quickly averted her gaze, suppressed all her thoughts, and her tone returned to its usual efficient manner at work:

"Is there something you need to tell me, President, that you've come all this way?"

"I just came here to take care of some things, and took the opportunity to show some people around and get some fresh air," Kong Ming'an replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a petite girl in a white and green dress walked out slowly from behind him, her arms crossed.

Her delicate face was cold, with an arrogant look that said, "I'm not someone to mess with, stay away from me."

Her golden eyes swept lightly over the orange, then she stood silently beside Kong Ming'an.

"Miss Bing."

Orange greeted him as usual.

She knew all the girls who had appeared around her student council president, and she also knew how to get along with them.

Take this "Miss Ice" for example. She basically ignores everyone except her own president, so a simple greeting is enough.

As expected, Hyotei only glanced at Tachibana briefly before looking away, standing motionless beside Kongming An like a delicate doll.

Ju Zi looked back at Kong Ming'an and, as usual, gave a work report that she did every time they met, explaining in a clear and organized manner the important affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, the progress of various industries, and the contact with various forces.

Kongming listened quietly, without saying much.

He has always trusted Ju Zi, and his recognition of her is not based on her abilities.

After all, in the original story, she once sat on the throne of Empress.

He nodded slightly, occasionally offering affirmation, and soon Orange finished her report.

At that very moment, Kong Ming'an took out a sealed document and handed it to Ju Zi.

"This is?"

"Take a look at the preliminary plans for the next series of projects. If there are any problems or adjustments needed, then we can continue to revise them," Kong Ming'an explained.

Orange nodded knowingly and accepted the document with a slightly solemn expression.

She unpacked and opened the document, its contents unfolding before her eyes. However, after only a few glances, her movements involuntarily faltered slightly.

"Soul Power Acquisition Program, Sale of Artificial Soul Rings, Customized Soul Rings, Designated Soul Skill Assignment"

Okay, she's sure now, her president is definitely up to something again!

……

……

What is Kong Ming'an planning to do? It's very simple. His fundamental goal is to promote artificial spirit rings and collect energy in the process.

During this period, he spent almost 80% of his time in the laboratory conducting research.

Such a long research period naturally yielded remarkable results.

First of all, he has completely completed the "imprinting of the soul tool".

The "Imitation Soul Tool" he personally crafted essentially perfectly replicated his own "Imitation" soul skill, enabling him to imprint all soul skills below the 100,000-year level.

Of course, the "Soul Imprinting Tool" can only imprint soul skills, but cannot activate the imprinted soul skills. This is not because Kong Ming'an lacked the technical skill to add this ability when he made it, but simply because it was unnecessary.

Because, in his vision, the "Imprint Soul Tool" should be used in conjunction with another soul tool, and that soul tool is the "Artificial Soul Ring Device"!

Yes, that's right. After Kong Ming'an mastered the "Imitation Soul Guidance Device", he created the "Artificial Soul Ring Device".

Based on the principles of the "Soul Ring Condensation Method" provided by Electrolux, Kong Ming'an transformed the process step by step into corresponding soul guidance arrays.

After repeated adjustments and modifications to the energy structure of the soul guidance array, the "artificial soul ring device" was easily completed.

This was not difficult for Kong Ming'an, but it was relatively time-consuming.

After the successful development of the "artificial soul ring device", he immediately combined it with the "imprinting soul tool", thus obtaining the "recording device" which was extremely crucial to his plan.

In his design, the "recording device" has only two capabilities.

First, the module for recording Soul Skills.

The user simply needs to place their spirit ring into a specific ring-shaped groove on the "recording device," and the "recording device" will activate.

First, the "recording device" extracts energy from the spirit ring itself, and then uses this energy to construct an artificial spirit ring.

Subsequently, the "recording device" will imprint the soul skills in the soul ring, and then imprint them onto the artificial soul ring, thereby recording the soul skill module.

Chapter 99: The Foundation of Godhood is Established Through the Support of All Living Beings

Secondly, it involves imbuing the Soul Skill module.

The prerequisite for using this function is that you have a soul ring with enough space to hold it.

Similarly, the spirit ring is placed in the ring-shaped groove of the "recording device," but there are some differences. To imbue a spirit skill module, a spirit ring that carries the spirit skill module needs to be placed in another position beforehand.

For example, if a mage from the Imprinting faction wants to add a "Fireball" spell to their spirit ring, they would need to place a spirit ring containing the "Fireball" spirit skill module in their "Recording Device" beforehand as the target for imprinting.

Subsequently, the "recording device" will directly imprint the "Fireball" soul skill module onto the mage's soul ring, thus successfully endowing the soul skill module.

Undoubtedly, a series of ancillary industries can be derived from the "recording device".

From a business perspective, this has created a completely new and uncharted track!

Hmm. It's somewhat similar to the Spirit Pagoda in the later stages of the original story.

Judging from the development of the Spirit Pagoda in the later generations of the original story and the power it wielded, there is no doubt that Kong Ming'an's idea is very promising.

Given the current scale of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, this plan can be implemented directly after only slight refinement.

But that was not Kong Ming'an's purpose.

His real goal is energy! Or rather, the soul power of all the soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent!

As everyone knows, Kong Ming'an has created the "Star Ring" method, which is a true path that can enable "Dharma Cultivators" to become gods through their soul power. It is a true path to godhood!

However, this path requires a great deal of energy.

In traditional beliefs, becoming a god only requires a Soul Master to reach the level of a Limit Douluo (level 99), cultivate followers through either conquest or salvation, and then collect the power of faith to gradually forge their own divine position.

Alternatively, one could directly inherit the divine position and ascend to godhood in one step.

But what about the "Star Ring" method?

It needs to condense the soul core and modify the soul ring step by step, and transform its own soul power step by step until its own soul power transforms to a certain level, and then the soul power becomes a god.

The massive amount of energy required for this process is similar to the power of faith required to become a god in traditional beliefs, except that one is used to create a "star ring" and the other is used to create a "god's position".

During this period, Xue Di remained in seclusion, continuously transforming her soul power through "Star Rings" and creating new "Star Rings."

After nearly all of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow was consumed, the Snow Empress has successfully constructed four "Star Rings," and her strength has transformed to an exceptionally terrifying level.

At least after he released the restrictions on Da Ming and Er Ming, allowing them to temporarily break through the limitations of the Douluo plane and reach god-level strength using the power of destruction, Xue Di was able to contend with or even suppress Da Ming and Er Ming.

Of course, it's also possible that the so-called "god-level" strength of the two Ming emperors was largely exaggerated.

However, it cannot be denied that Xue Di, who has now constructed four "star rings" and achieved four-soul core resonance through the "soul core resonance" method, has reached the top level of strength in the Douluo Continent.

Aside from the Silver Dragon King, who is an exceptional being, he is basically on the same level as Di Tian.

Perhaps Xue Di's exceptional talent played a part, but there's no doubt that the "Star Ring" technique held more potential than he had imagined.

Based on the current progress, it is estimated that when Xue Di condenses the seventh "Star Ring", or even the sixth "Star Ring", her life level may not have transformed to the god level, but her combat power will definitely reach the god level!

As things stand, once the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow is depleted, the Snow Empress only needs to systematically absorb and accumulate energy using the "Star Ring." Once she has enough energy, she can condense the "Star Ring" and continue accumulating energy.

If this cycle is repeated several times, over a hundred or two hundred years, one will basically be able to naturally elevate their strength to the god-like level.

For the Snow Empress, a hundred or two hundred years is not a long time; it passes in the blink of an eye. But clearly, this time is far too long for Kong Ming'an.

He didn't have that much time to wait. He knew that if he didn't become a god within thirty years, he'd be forced into the position of God-King and become one directly.

Therefore, he cannot accumulate soul power slowly; he needs energy, a massive amount of energy!

After a brief moment of thought, he focused his attention on all the Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent.
