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

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but the more she thought about his words, the more unsettled she became.

Hyotei's delicate face gradually flushed red.

It's not shyness,

I was just angry.

She really wanted to bite this bastard to death! Couldn't he say something nice?! All he does is annoy her all day! He could at least lie to her!

Kong Ming'an, who was observing the Heavenly Dream Soul Skill module with great interest, suddenly felt a chilling sensation beside him.

Turning his head, he saw a pair of golden eyes staring intently at him.

"what happened?"

"Go to hell, you bastard!" Hyotei yelled, then punched him in the lower back.

It didn't hurt too much; the other person seemed to have retained their rationality, holding back at the crucial moment. It's just that their resentment was almost overflowing.

Watching Hyotei stride angrily ahead, Kong Ming'an fell silent for a moment.

Did I upset her again?

when?

Kong Ming'an fell into deep thought.

……

……

Kong Ming'an didn't dwell too much on the reason why Hyotei suddenly got angry; after all, that's just how Hyotei is.

Things were fine when we first met a few years ago, but recently I've started getting angry on and off.

He asked, but Hyotei wouldn't answer. Instead, they kept using a tone that sounded more like a compliment than an insult, calling him "bastard" and "go to hell" repeatedly.

In short, it doesn't have much destructive power.

Returning to the laboratory he had set up within the Chamber of Commerce headquarters with Hyotei, Kong Ming'an placed the two soul skill modules on the table, his eyes flashing slightly.

Do you remember the idea of ​​"sub-brain" that Kong Ming'an conceived a long time ago, but was eventually shelved due to various issues and ultimately came to nothing?

Now, it seems he has found a way to make it happen.

Chapter 103 Douluo Continent Local Area Network Concept

A day later, Kong Ming'an, who had just returned from the demiplane, focused his attention on the two soul skill modules that he had guided and shaped.

"Mental Detection" and "Mental Sharing".

He found Huo Yuhao, who was currently working under him, and then used his martial soul aura to superimpose the prototype of the soul skill module from Tianmeng. After repeated induction and experimentation, the two skill modules "Mental Detection" and "Mental Sharing" were freshly created.

"While the effects of the Soul Skills 'Mental Detection' and 'Mental Sharing' are relatively straightforward, they can be used in a variety of ways in practice."

Kong Ming'an murmured softly, trying to sort out his somewhat complicated thoughts.

The so-called "mental detection," simply put, is the ability to release mental energy to form an invisible domain.

Everything within the domain—be it terrain, objects, energy fluctuations, or even life force—can be clearly fed back into the user's mind from a three-dimensional and all-encompassing God's-eye view. The domain is vast and possesses a certain ability to penetrate obstacles.

"Mental sharing" is even more wondrous; it is not simply a matter of mental transmission, but rather the ability to directly transfer information from the caster's mind to the mental sea of ​​others.

When the two are combined, information can be obtained through "mental detection" and projected onto the consciousness of a designated target in real time without modification, thus achieving true perspective sharing. This is "mental detection sharing".

Kong Ming'an quickly grasped the principle, and then his spirit ring flashed, imprinting the two spirit skills onto his body.

The spirit ring floated, and spirit power and mental power were simultaneously injected. Kong Ming'an personally tried to activate "Mental Detection." In an instant, everything within a radius of several hundred meters centered on him flooded into his mind.

The staff coming and going at the Chamber of Commerce’s premises, the numerous goods stored in the warehouse, and the petite, delicate-faced Hyotei standing before me.

Information flooded his consciousness like a tidal wave; the sheer volume of information caused him to instinctively furrow his brow slightly.

But soon, as he slightly adjusted the intensity of his mental energy output and reduced the amount of mental energy injected, the clarity and range of the feedback information also decreased, gradually reaching a relatively normal observation state.

Kong Ming'an tried it repeatedly and quickly came to a conclusion.

The effectiveness of "Mental Detection" depends on the strength and quality of the injected mental and soul power. This effect includes range, accuracy, and penetration. The more you want to improve the effect, the greater the consumption.

In summary, "mental detection" involves constructing a temporary mental perception field to collect all information within the field, while "mental sharing" involves establishing a one-way information transmission channel to directly deliver the collected information packets to the target.

Kong Ming'an seemed to be deep in thought. He opened the gate to the undead demiplane and casually pulled out a Soul King-level evil Soul Master whose soul power had been sealed.

The evil spirit master had just been dragged out and hadn't even had time to figure out what was going on when Kong Ming'an activated his soul skill.

"Ugh—!"

With a scream, the evil spirit master's eyes widened instantly, becoming bloodshot. His body convulsed violently, then his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and fainted.

Kong Ming'an raised his hand and delivered several mental slaps.

Soon, the evil spirit master awoke, but his eyes were already unfocused and empty, drool uncontrollably dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he made meaningless hoarse sounds.

Yeah, I got carried away.

"What's going on?" Hyotei blinked unconsciously.

“An experiment.” Kong Ming’an dispersed his mental energy and calmly explained, “I forcibly instilled the unprocessed raw information stream collected by ‘Mental Detection’ into the other party through ‘Mental Sharing’.”

"The other person's mind will instinctively try to analyze this massive and disordered information, causing an instant overload, and eventually their consciousness will collapse. Their body is still alive and their soul is still there, but they are practically dead."

What are you mumbling about?

Hyotei didn't understand, but she simply gave up on investigating further and pouted, saying:

"Anyway, anything that falls into your hands will become incomprehensible."

Kong Ming'an chuckled, tossed the now-idiotic evil spirit master back into the demiplane, and then continued his deductions.

"Spam bombardment" is just the most basic extension. If it can be manipulated in a sophisticated way, it can also be an efficient means of information transmission, which is what he values ​​most.

Imagine if he used "spiritual sharing" as the core technology, setting up specially designed "base stations" at intervals, and constructing a grid with "spiritual detection," thereby allowing "spiritual sharing" to cover a wide area and achieve almost zero-delay information exchange.

Could this be considered a Douluo Continent version of a local area network?

Furthermore, if a "Douluo version of the Internet" covering the entire continent were combined with the monitoring capabilities of "mental detection," an invisible "mental monitoring network" could be constructed simultaneously.

This will not only greatly facilitate the lives of ordinary people and the flow of information, but also be used to monitor all directions and accurately capture hidden threats such as evil spirit masters, so that they can be locked on instantly as soon as they appear.

A grander blueprint gradually began to take shape in Kong Ming'an's mind.

Of course, this idea is wonderful, but this massive project is not the most urgent task.

His initial goal remained unchanged: he needed a tool to assist his thinking and provide additional computing power.

Mind sharing can connect multiple independent consciousnesses.

So, is it possible to create a "mainframe" that serves as the absolute core, allowing it to control the "sub-consciousnesses" and process various information?

He then used the "mainframe" to access the computing power of all the "sub-consciousnesses," thereby enhancing his own thinking speed.

This seems feasible.

"Subconsciousness" is easy to deal with; the soul of an evil spirit master is readily available, so we can use it for now.

The key question is: how do I choose the "host"?

The host needs to have a large size and powerful information carrying and processing capabilities; otherwise, it will be unable to handle the integrated computing power and will crash first.

Tianmeng? The theory is feasible, and its profound spiritual energy accumulated over a million years makes it a candidate. However, it is valuable research material, and modifying the host system carries risks; it cannot be wasted easily.

The Golden Ancient Tree? That's the core of future life, unparalleled in size and vitality. It's certainly sufficient as a host machine; all that's needed is to add information processing capabilities.

However, that thing is Shrek Academy's lifeline, and it's currently difficult to obtain. Furthermore, it would require hands-on modification, which would be quite troublesome.

Kong Ming'an pondered for a moment, then paused slightly.

No, his goals don't need to be set that far ahead. What he needs is just a transitional measure, something that works for now. Even if it fails, he can treat it as a trial and error process.

Let's look at the requirements again. He needs something that can handle massive information flows without crashing, and that has information organization and classification functions, or at least something that allows me to edit such a thing.

As Kong Ming'an pondered this, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

He turned his head, his gaze fixed on the soul ring that floated silently in his palm.

Kong Ming'an unconsciously raised an eyebrow. He suddenly realized that the characteristics of spirit rings were quite versatile in many situations.

Chapter 104 Zhang Lexuan: Level 98 leading the team, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy.

Zhang Lexuan walked slowly along the tree-lined path, her figure tall and slender, her temperament cool and aloof, yet carrying a hint of detachment that kept people at a distance.

Several years have passed since that crushing defeat, yet the memory of that one-sided loss still lingers like a fog over the entire academy.

Four of the seven regular team members dropped out of school, while the seven reserve team members were also affected, but were gradually overlooked because they didn't participate much.

Therefore, all the blame and disappointment were focused on the three main team members who did not choose to drop out of school, especially the captain, who was completely "too shirking responsibility" and "too many faults to mention".

Although Elder Mu personally intervened and the matter was considered closed, it was only a superficial closure. Private criticism never ceased, and the invisible estrangement was quite evident.

Whether in the outer or inner courtyard, apart from Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo, and a few other friends who are familiar with her, most people either ignore her or hurriedly avoid her with complicated expressions.

Zhang Lexuan felt a deep sorrow at this.

The fact that the students in the academy value the outcome of a match and the so-called "glory of being undefeated" so much, yet turn a blind eye to the corruption that is gradually growing within the academy, is itself a sign of moral decay.

Her gaze swept calmly across the surroundings, and wherever it fell, the students scattered like startled birds, avoiding her gaze.

This silent sense of rejection, like a cold wall, made her feel a slight, inexplicable sense of suffocation and discomfort.

A year and a half ago, despite opposition, Elder Mu personally granted her trial authority.

If the evidence is conclusive, she can skip tedious meetings and discussions and proceed directly to an independent trial, acting first and informing later.

This was originally intended as a powerful tool to eradicate the deep-seated problems within the academy, but it also placed her firmly on the opposite side of many people, and her reputation plummeted under the manipulation of certain corrupt officials.

She wasn't afraid of what people said, but facing such attitudes from others every day still made her feel somewhat lost.

Summoning her spirits, Zhang Lexuan maintained a calm demeanor until her patrol for the day ended, at which point she returned to her somewhat deserted dormitory.

Closing the door and carelessly tossing her uniform jacket onto the back of the chair, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have all her strength drained away instantly.

She walked a few steps to the bedside and let herself fall forward wearily, sinking deeply into the soft bedding.

"Um"

A very soft sigh, filled with deep weariness, was heard.

She lay there, motionless, as if trying to unload all the pent-up weight in this way.

After a long while, she slowly turned over and lay on her back on the bed.

The light accentuated her mature and beautiful figure; her full breasts rose and fell gently with her breath, and below her slender waist were her long, shapely, and voluptuous legs.

She slightly adjusted her posture, her legs, encased in black stockings, rubbing against each other, making a soft rustling sound that was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

She raised her arm, gently placing the back of her hand on her forehead, and rubbed her aching brow, revealing a sense of helpless exhaustion.

She found nothing again today, no evidence of the misdeeds of those parasites.

It wasn't that Shrek had truly improved or become cleaner; rather, those parasites had become more clever and hid their tails more deeply. She simply couldn't find any concrete evidence, and naturally, judgment was handed down.

This feeling of helplessness—knowing the filth is right in front of you but being unable to find it or cleanse it—is even more unbearable.

Although she would kill anyone who had even the slightest evidence against them, in order to keep Shrek Academy a little cleaner,

But can she really make Shrek clean? Can she really make it the way she imagines it to be?

She knew better than anyone that Shrek Academy's problems had long since gone beyond the surface; in some aspects, they were rotten to the core.

Can she really do it?

A sense of bewilderment and loneliness, like a cold tide, once again quietly engulfed her in her reverie.

I'm so tired.

As her consciousness sank into exhaustion, in a daze, once again, the image of the boy appeared in her mind, along with his promise to her.

"When I call you, you come."

Zhang Lexuan murmured softly, her eyes slightly misty, but then she shook her head self-deprecatingly, dispelling the unrealistic thought.

She can't keep thinking like this, she absolutely can't.
