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

In his previous life, there was a very interesting topic: if each of the more than one billion people in the country gave me one yuan, would I be able to achieve financial freedom directly?

Kong Ming'an's inspiration came from this.

First, the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce will provide free martial soul awakening services in order to expand the scale of soul masters as much as possible.

Subsequently, the first spirit ring was provided to the spirit master in the form of a "loan," and a spirit skill module was inscribed for him.

Afterwards, Soul Masters need to regularly visit the Mingmeng Merchant Guild and transfer a certain amount of Soul Power to the "Soul Power Storage Device" made by Kong Ming'an, which can convert all Soul Power of different attributes into Soul Power without attribute tendencies, in order to repay the "Soul Ring Loan".

He could even design a new virtual currency, such as calling it "Soul Points," which could be used specifically for matters related to Soul Rings.

For example, you can buy a ten-thousand-year-level "artificial spirit ring," but you'll have to pay with spirit points. Extending this further, you can also use spirit points to add spirit skill modules to the spirit ring or customize it.

Obtaining Soul Points is quite simple; one can simply inject Soul Power into the "Soul Power Storage Device."

For example, one standard unit of soul power injection equals one soul point.

In this way, he can quickly accumulate enough energy for himself and those around him to become gods by relying on the soul power of all the soul masters in the Douluo plane!

Of course, this method of collecting soul power, which seems somewhat like hanging streetlights, can also be seen as a way for those attempting to become gods to collect the power of faith from their followers.

In a sense, the two are not much different; they are just different in method but have the same goal.

In his plan, the current harvesting of soul power from all soul masters is akin to the initial accumulation of capital. He only needs to be pushed to the god level, at which point his gaze will turn to beyond the Douluo plane.

Constantly seeking within, no matter how quickly one recovers, will eventually lead to depletion. But exploring outwards, exploring the countless planets beyond the Douluo plane in the universe, is the right path!

Hmm. In a sense, this might be why many gods, such as the first Angel God, the first Sea God, the first Asura God, and so on, chose to run away.

Staying in the realm of gods certainly brings no pressure, but there's also no hope of advancement.

Only by exploring the world and seeking opportunities can we have the possibility of continuing to climb.

At this moment, Kong Ming'an had a slight understanding.

Chapter 100 Opening a Room

After discussing some detailed implementation aspects with Orange, the initial plan for the "Soul Power Collection Project" was finalized.

Orange suggested that the initiative be piloted first throughout the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.

After all, the Heavenly Soul Empire has undergone nearly two years of in-depth integration and reform, and the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce has the greatest influence here, so there shouldn't be any obstacles.

And even if problems arise, they are easier to fix compared to other places.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family initially brought in the Body Sect and the Mingmeng Merchant Guild with the intention of using their strength to consolidate their own power. However, they never expected that Poison Undying and his sect would so completely and directly side with the Mingmeng Merchant Guild.

Under such circumstances, the lifeline of the Heavenly Soul Empire's economy and the dominance in some key areas have quietly changed hands without anyone noticing.

The nation's strength greatly increased, but it also gradually became uncontrollable, leaving them no choice but to board Kong Ming'an's pirate ship.

"Is that so?" Orange gently pushed up her glasses, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

As the nominal vice president and de facto secretary of the young man before her, she had learned how to keep up with his train of thought. A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and Ju Zi nodded, saying simply:

"The overall planning will take some time, but it should be completed within about a month. After that, I will submit a detailed progress report to you separately each month."

Kong Ming'an had no objection to this arrangement.

However, Hyotei, who had been sitting idly on the edge of the desk swinging his legs, narrowed his golden eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on Tachibana's face for a moment with a hint of scrutiny.

Why did she feel that the word "alone" in the woman's words just now seemed to have a slightly different meaning?

Hyotei's intuition is inexplicably sharp.

Kong Ming'an, who was standing to the side, did not notice anything and simply nodded, "I trust you to handle things. Just do things at your own pace."

As he spoke, he stood up and

"We'll be going now, we still have some things to take care of."

"Yes, President." Orange bowed slightly, respectfully seeing him off.

Kong Ming'an glanced at Hyotei, but noticed that the other party seemed somewhat distracted and didn't immediately follow as usual.

Kong Ming'an paused slightly, then called out again, "Hyotei?"

"Huh?" Hyotei snapped back to reality, flicking her twin tails behind her head, her tone a mix of guilt at being caught red-handed and forced composure.

"what?"

"What were you doing?" Kong Ming'an said, then added, "I'm leaving."

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Hyotei paused, her delicate face slightly furrowed, but she quickly jumped off the table and hurriedly chased after him.

"No, wait for me, you bastard!"

Orange stood still, watching the two figures disappear one after the other, and couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

But then, a barely audible sigh escaped her lips, echoing in the quiet office.

She was a little envious.

……

……

In the Chamber of Commerce corridor, Kong Ming'an walked with ease. Hyotei caught up in a few steps, but habitually stood beside him, unable to help but complain:

Why are you walking so fast? Didn't you wait for me?

Kong Ming'an glanced at Hyotei, then looked ahead and said calmly:

"You're not the Snow Emperor, why should I wait for you?"

ice King:"……"

Okay, okay! Is this how you play it?

Hyotei unconsciously gritted their teeth.

What should she do? Should she be angry that this guy is treating her differently and is simply inhuman, or should she be relieved that this guy is being special to Xue Di, proving that Xue Di didn't choose the wrong person?

Hyotei unconsciously gritted her teeth, momentarily at a loss for words, a strange sense of loss quietly creeping into her heart.

Helpless, he could only glare fiercely at Kong Ming'an with his golden eyes, then lower his head, his mind still in turmoil.

Seeing her like this, Kong Ming'an's lips curled up slightly, and his pace slowed down a little:

"Alright, stop arguing with yourself. Don't forget we still have important business to attend to."

Hyotei rolled her eyes at him, decisively and without hesitation attributing her strange feelings to his words:

"Hmph, isn't this all your fault!"

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and resumed her icy demeanor. "What's next?"

"Let's get a room first."

"what?"

Hyotei paused, crossing their arms in front of them, adopting a highly defensive posture.

"So you're finally going to make your move on me?!"

Kong Ming'an: "..."

Why do you seem to be looking forward to it?

……

……

A moment later, in an empty, quiet room of the Chamber of Commerce.

Under the still somewhat wary gaze of the Ice Emperor, Kong Ming sat on the sofa to the side, slightly shifted to a more comfortable position, and then slowly raised his hand to summon his own spirit ring.

Black, black, red, red.

Two black and two red, aside from the slightly outlandish configuration, their Soul Master cultivation is genuinely ordinary.

In just over two years, his cultivation level had jumped from the twenties to the forties, not far from becoming a Soul King. It can only be said that the "Holy Guidance Soul Ring" was truly outrageous.

Those two 100,000-year soul rings were naturally "artificial soul rings" created through Electrolux's "Soul Ring Condensation Method".

With a thought, Kong Ming's mind settled, and one of the blood-red spirit rings floated up, its spirit power flowing between the rings. He then swiftly twisted and shaped the ring.

The surface was constructed with soul power, and the core inside was mainly composed of soul rings. In a short while, an energy figure that was seven or eight parts similar to Kong Ming'an's main body, but slightly illusory, appeared.

This is a "method of incarnation" that Electrolux came up with in his spare time.

Using soul rings as a carrier and injecting preset intelligent commands, it can assist in releasing soul skills in battle. If all nine rings are used, it can achieve a ten-on-one gang fight, which can be considered a combat technique of "magic cultivators".

Kong Ming'an made slight modifications to it, enabling it to carry its own consciousness and allowing it to perform precise control over extremely long distances.

"So, what exactly are we supposed to do?" Hyotei crossed his arms, looking at the avatar, still puzzled.

"Catch the bugs," Kong Ming'an said succinctly.

"Insects?" Hyotei frowned.

"You'll understand in a moment." Kong Ming'an didn't explain immediately, but instead extended his hand in an inviting gesture: "Shall we go out and take a look together?"

Hyotei looked at his outstretched hand, glanced at him warily, and after confirming there was really no trap, she reached out and grabbed it firmly.

"Walk."

Kong Ming'an smiled, and another 100,000-year soul ring flew out. As the light flowed, it transformed into a petite and exquisite girl incarnation, exactly like the Ice Emperor's original form.

As they clasped hands, Hyotei immediately felt her soul power and spiritual power begin to merge and connect with Kongming's soul power and spiritual power in a strange way.

A strange feeling, as if body and mind were briefly connected and mutually aware, washed over me.

At this moment, she seemed to be able to sense everything about Kong Ming'an's body.

Hyotei stiffened slightly, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

"Then let's go."

As soon as Kong Ming'an finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

At the same time, the two avatars instantly disappeared into the quietly opened spatial ripples.

Chapter 101 Tianmeng: I feel like I've been set up.

Kong Ming'an's purpose in this trip was naturally to obtain the million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Previously, he had temporarily shelved his idea of ​​fishing for the Heavenly Dream because matters such as "imprinting soul tools" and "artificial soul ring devices" were of higher priority, and also because of the potential threat from the Silver Dragon King.

Now, thanks to the incarnation technique, there are no more worries, and having mastered this technique, it is the perfect time to make a move.

……

……

The edge of the Starry Sky Forest.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, vines entwine, and the air is filled with the scent of damp earth and trees. Everything around is quiet, except for the occasional low growl of a soul beast in the distance, which makes people instinctively on guard.

At this moment, however, a handsome young man and a petite young woman are strolling leisurely through the woods.

Suddenly, the bushes to the side shook violently, and several gray-black humanoid figures lunged out with roars.

They were several wind baboons with cultivation levels around a hundred years old.

They had ferocious faces, bared fangs, and moved with lightning speed, their sharp claws aimed directly at the two seemingly unsuspecting individuals.

However, the next moment, the petite girl simply took half a step forward and lightly tapped her fingertips.

"Kaka——"

An extremely cold aura instantly spread from her fingertips, as if the air itself had frozen.

The wind baboons that were pouncing in mid-air, still in a forward-charging, tearing posture, were instantly encased in thick, solid ice, turning into ice sculptures. They then crashed heavily to the ground, shattering into countless crystalline ice shards.

The girl, or rather, Hyotei,

She frowned and complained, "This avatar is so weak, even a breath of mine is stronger than this."

Her consciousness left her own body and entered this avatar; her weak power made her feel restricted.

"What kind of powerful avatar do you expect me, a mere human, a mere Soul Master, to create?"
