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

"Go inside, and remember not to cause trouble."

Tang San nodded and then quickly entered Shrek City.

After moving slightly away from the city gate and making sure no one was following, Tang San looked at the bustling yet peaceful environment of Shrek City and felt a sense of boundless freedom.

He's finally about to take the first step!

After thinking it over, he didn't choose to go to Shrek Academy immediately. Instead, he planned to find a place to change out of his tattered clothes first.

Thinking this, he touched the twenty-odd gold soul coins in his pocket, a smile playing on his lips.

He hasn't been unlucky all this time; at least a little over a month ago, he was quite lucky.

There, he happened to steal a storage soul tool that looked like it belonged to a young master.

After selling the contents of the store and the storage soul tool, he used the money to buy a letter of recommendation to enroll at Shrek Academy, keeping the rest for future use.

For example, the money came in handy when I bribed the security guard earlier.

Thinking back to the fact that he hadn't been beaten up in a while, Tang San felt that his luck seemed to be improving. Hmm, it's really getting better and better!

Thinking this, he walked along the street, but he had not gone far when a broad and strong hand pressed heavily on his shoulder.

Tang San frowned and turned around, only to see several burly, muscular men staring coldly at him.

Behind these burly men, a richly dressed, arrogant blond youth was watching him with a cold smile.

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as he tried to escape, but the moment he moved, several burly men pinned him down.

The blond boy stepped forward, stomped on Tang San's face, and then rubbed the sole of his shoe back and forth several times before sneering:

"What a small world! You dare steal from me, Dai Huabin? You're asking for trouble! Beat them all to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards, all with cultivation levels above Soul King, swarmed forward and began punching and kicking Tang San.

The others who didn't make a move stood aside, revealing their identities as members of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, signaling others not to meddle, their actions exceptionally practiced.

In the center of the crowd, Tang San, who was being beaten, could only curl up on the ground, covering his head, enduring the rain of attacks, and letting out painful howls.

At this moment, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily, yet a crimson light flickered wildly in his eyes, and violent emotions surged within him.

Suddenly, he roared, his soul power erupting as he rose like a war god, forcing back several Soul King level beings around him.

Subsequently

"You filthy beggar who came to the city to beg for food dares to resist? Keep beating him!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang San was beaten again.

The nascent resistance was instantly extinguished, and an even more violent beating followed. Tang San was kicked around by the guards like a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

……

……

Just as Tang San was cosplaying as a stray dog, on the other side, a blue-haired boy dressed in clean clothes, carrying a bag, slowly stepped into Shrek Academy's admissions office.

He had a pair of clear, bright blue eyes, but beneath that clarity lay a deep-seated, ingrained hatred.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, touched the dark green jade pendant his sect master had given him, took a deep breath, and his eyes hardened.

His path of revenge will begin here, and his first target will be Dai Huabin, who will be enrolling with him.

Chapter 119 Orange's Suspicion

In Kong Ming'an's room at the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce headquarters,

Having just finished reporting on the recent collaboration between the Chamber of Commerce and the Heavenly Soul Empire to promote the "Soul Point" system and the pilot program for artificial soul rings, Orange stood quietly to the side, her gaze gently falling on Kong Ming'an.

At this moment, Kong Ming'an leaned against the edge of the large desk, her eyes lowered, holding the report she had just given, quietly reviewing it.

The opportunity was rare, and Orange unconsciously watched more intently. But soon, Orange, who knew the boy well, noticed something was amiss.

The president's gentle demeanor remained unchanged, yet... there seemed to be a slight change.

There's an indescribable sense of security, a feeling that seems to have settled down after experiencing certain things, and a sense of being a husband?

Orange's eyes narrowed slightly as she keenly noticed this extremely subtle change.

An inexplicable intuition told her that something must have happened during this time!

Several possible candidates flashed through her mind.

Miss Meng and that princess?

It's unlikely that either of them is the case. The president seems to care a lot about age. Although those two will come every few days, they are still at least one or two years away from adulthood, so it's probably not them.

Ms. Xue? It's highly likely, but she hasn't shown up recently. If something really happened, she wouldn't just stay for a day or two and then leave. Besides, Ms. Bing is also there. It's impossible for the two of them to be together, right?

As for Miss Bing, who was ultimately considered a suspect, it's highly unlikely. Aside from her personality issues, she simply doesn't have the time to commit the crime right now.

Orange's gaze drifted to the corner of the room.

There, a gigantic ice cocoon, taller than a person, stood, emanating an aura of extreme cold that significantly lowered the temperature inside the room.

However, upon closer inspection, one can vaguely discern a petite human figure within the enormous ice cocoon.

Orange rejected the last possibility.

So, who exactly is it? Orange fell into deep thought.

Kong Ming'an, who was standing to the side, had already finished reading the report.

He closed the report and slowly said, "Let's proceed with the plan as it is for now."

"The Heavenly Soul Empire will prioritize the physical sale of artificial soul rings and improved soul skill modules, while other regions will first promote the 'Soul Point' system to complete the initial construction of soul power acquisition."

Orange, who was lost in thought, snapped out of it and nodded respectfully:

"Understood, Chairman."

Kong Ming'an nodded, then asked, "How is the contact with Shrek Academy progressing?"

"Contact is going well," Orange replied. "Since Shrek Academy publicly announced internally that Zhang Lexuan would become the next Sea God Pavilion Master and directly take over Shrek's power, Shrek's attitude of rejection towards the Chamber of Commerce has obviously weakened."

"Two weeks ago, we reached our first cooperation agreement with them on the expansion of the freshman dormitory and the renovation of the soul guidance facilities."

She paused slightly, her eyes flickering almost imperceptibly, as if she had caught a key word in her own words.

Zhang Lexuan?

If I remember correctly, the president had previously gathered information about her, and nominally, she was the president's cousin, right?

Orange narrowed her eyes slightly.

Kong Ming'an didn't notice the change in Ju Zi's eyes, and simply nodded:

"That's good. If any problems arise later, you can talk to Zhang Lexuan directly. She's essentially an inside agent, and the Chamber of Commerce can provide her with some support."

"At the same time, if the Chamber of Commerce needs it, it can also ask the other party to have Shrek provide some assistance to the Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes." Orange lowered her head, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, but her tone remained steady. "I understand. I will definitely have a proper 'talk' with her."

Kong Ming'an glanced at the orange beside him with some curiosity.

He sensed something was off about Ju Zi's tone.

……

A moment later, Ju Zi bowed and left the room.

Kong Ming'an then walked to the giant ice cocoon, sat down cross-legged, and continued to silently protect the Ice Emperor who was transforming.

Of course, he didn't just wait idly. Instead, he calculated the date and then spared a sliver of his attention to check Tang San's condition through the Destruction God's test on his body.

In the scene, Tang San lay sprawled on the street corner like a dead dog, covered in filth and looking utterly wretched.

Kong Ming'an raised an eyebrow slightly, and then casually checked the state of the divine test within his body.

"Good progress, we're already on the fourth test."

Kong Ming'an was slightly surprised, but quickly shook his head.

He wasn't sure if Tang Sanqing knew the truth about the so-called divine test rewards, but he roughly understood what was going on.

Through the dual connection of the divine consciousness of the divine Tang San in the lower realm and the divine test of the Sea God, Tang San in the divine realm gradually stripped away the divine power from the Asura God's position that could easily affect the mind, thus transferring it to this lower realm Tang San.

Of course, the amount of Asura God power injected into Tang San in the lower realm is so small as to be almost negligible, but this is likely only the initial stage of the transformation.

As time went on, the more Asura God power Tang San from the God Realm poured into this Tang San from the Lower Realm, until he was completely transformed into a container specifically for holding Asura God power.

As expected, Tang San from the God Realm still has some means of restricting Tang San from the Lower Realm, such as using the Divine Trial as a dog leash.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his name, Tang San.

Of course, this is good news for him as well.

After all, Tang San, a mortal being who possesses the divine will, the divine test, and the divine power of the Asura God, is undoubtedly a rare and high-quality source material.

Leaving aside the fact that they used Tang San in the lower realm to seize control of the Sea God and Asura God's positions, thereby weakening Tang San's strength,

Even just a sample of the Asura God's divine power is priceless and can serve as a sample for the subsequent soul power transformation direction of "Star Ring - Ascending to Godhood".

After thinking for a moment, Kong Ming'an spoke softly:

"Unfortunately, I cannot interfere with the Sea God's test; my room for maneuver is too small. If I could obtain the Sea God's divine power or a sample of Tang San's divine sense, I might be able to target Tang San in the God Realm."

He seemed to be muttering to himself, or perhaps speaking to some being. In any case, he had now made his request, so let's see what happens next.

With his eyes closed, Kong Ming'an continued writing the second revision of the "Ling Shu Protocol."

However, before he could finish writing, a faint yet clear cracking sound suddenly came from the huge ice cocoon beside him.

Kong Ming'an immediately put down his work, looked up, and saw a crack suddenly appear on the ice cocoon and spread rapidly.

A rich and pure ice-attribute energy, along with a powerful aura of new life, emanated from the crack. At a certain moment, the ice cocoon shattered, and a petite figure emerged.

Kong Ming'an subconsciously reached out to take her, but the petite figure threw herself into his arms instead.

As the cold jade was drawn into his arms, Kong Ming'an lowered his eyes and met those golden eyes that seemed even brighter than before.

Hyotei stared intently at him, her eyes flickering slightly, and her lips parted slightly:

"Hey, I'm a human now."

Chapter 120 The Possibility of Being Discovered by the Snow Empress

Hearing Hyotei's words, Kong Ming'an paused slightly, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the side.

Under Hyotei's gaze, Kongming's throat bobbed slightly, his voice calm:

"Get up first, let me check if there are any hidden dangers or problems left in your body."

Hyotei narrowed his golden eyes, which were full of smiles, and unconsciously curled the corners of his lips into a slight hum.

She was very satisfied with Kong Ming'an's current expression.

Hyotei hummed a short, cheerful tune as she slowly rose from Kongming'an's lap.

Her legs were completely bare; Hyotei's delicate, rounded bare feet trod on the fluffy white carpet.

She slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, gracefully crossing her legs. One delicate little foot was slightly raised, and whether intentionally or by chance, she gently wiggled it towards Kong Ming'an.

Slightly raising her delicate, snow-white chin, Hyotei resumed her usual arrogant demeanor, her golden eyes gleaming, her tone carrying a hint of provocation:

"Come and test me."

Kong Ming'an: "..."

Why does Hyotei seem to have become strange after transforming?

Kong Ming'an paused slightly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression turning strange:

Why are you mimicking Xue Di's speech?

As soon as she finished speaking, Hyotei, who had been maintaining a haughty expression, couldn't hold back any longer; her arrogance visibly crumbled.

Gritting her teeth, Hyotei retorted defiantly, "Who imitated Yuki-tei's way of speaking! I'm just asking if you're going to test me or not!"

It's confirmed: Hyotei is copying Yuki-tei.

Kong Ming'an nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, you didn't learn it."

"When you lie, do you dare look me in the eye?!" Hyotei, slightly losing her temper, couldn't hold back, stood up, and couldn't help but punch Kong Ming'an twice more.
