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

Zhang Lexuan tilted her head, her face showing no remorse whatsoever. Instead, her beautiful eyes shone with a purer, even somewhat naive, morbid light.

With a gentle gaze, she countered, "Why not?"

Kong Ming'an: "..."

So reasoning with people doesn't work after all?

So, how do you guys think Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Tang Wutong were divided in the original novel? Was the initial "Little Seven" divided into two or three equal parts?

Chapter 124 Recognizing One's Own Kind

Kong Ming'an fell silent again.

He could clearly sense that Zhang Lexuan's logic was self-contained and unbreakable.

Or rather, she had long since abandoned normal emotional logic and become immersed in a dependency relationship she had constructed, centered on him.

Kong Ming'an remained silent, only lowering his head slightly and gazing silently into the eyes of the woman in his arms.

Seeing his speechless expression, Zhang Lexuan smiled with satisfaction.

She gently tightened her grip on his neck, pulling his face closer until they could hear each other's breath, before whispering, "So... continue?"

Looking into those sickly, obsessive eyes, Kong Ming'an finally gave an almost inaudible reply:

".continue."

Zhang Lexuan's smile blossomed like a blooming datura flower, alluring and captivating, yet inexplicably deadly.

With three hours of preparation time, two hours are more than enough.

For her, this is a break that only comes once every two weeks, and she longs to make the most of every minute.

……

……

Three hours later, in a solemnly and elegantly decorated meeting room in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Orange sat at the head of the long table, followed by several trusted employees of the chamber of commerce. Though few in number, each possessed a calm demeanor and shrewd eyes.

They waited silently. The conference room was quiet, with no noise other than breathing.

At one point, the meeting room door was pushed open, and a group of Shrek Academy members, led by Zhang Lexuan, filed in.

Orange's gaze immediately fell on the leader.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan was wearing a perfectly tailored black college executive uniform, which accentuated her tall and graceful figure.

Beneath the uniform skirt were a pair of long, slender legs tightly encased in smooth black stockings, each step measured and rhythmic.

She maintained her aloof and detached demeanor, her brows bearing the authority of a ruler, but upon closer inspection, her jade-like skin glowed with a faint, vibrant blush.

As her eyes flickered, an indescribable, languid allure, befitting a mature woman, subtly shifted, adding a fatal attraction to her originally cold demeanor.

Orange's fingers tightened almost imperceptibly over the document, a knowing and sharp glint flashing deep in her eyes.

Although Zhang Lexuan hid it very well, Ju Zi almost instantly sensed a kindred spirit in the subtle change in Zhang Lexuan's aura.

Is it really her?

Orange's brows furrowed even deeper.

Zhang Lexuan sat down in the main seat, her gaze calmly sweeping over the oranges. She spoke first, her voice slightly hoarse and magnetic than usual:

"Vice President Orange, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ju Zi composed herself and put on a professional and polite smile: "Sect Leader Zhang, you're too kind. We just arrived too."

Without much small talk, Zhang Lexuan cut straight to the point: "May I ask what brings Vice President Orange here today?"

Ju Zi smiled slightly and gestured to her assistant to push a thin document in front of Zhang Lexuan:

"Naturally, this is to clear away some unnecessary obstacles for deeper cooperation between our two sides in the future."

She paused, watching Zhang Lexuan pick up the document, before slowly adding, "This is a small token of the Chamber of Commerce's sincerity, or rather, evidence."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her eyes and quickly flipped through the documents in her hands. As she read on, her gaze gradually sharpened.

This document clearly records evidence of various violations, embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of power by more than ten senior teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​Department in recent years.

The evidence includes the time, location, people involved, amount of money, and even some video recordings, making it irrefutable.

For example, Zhou Yi, a teacher in the Martial Soul Department, used her husband Fan Yu's status and position in the Soul Guidance Department to repeatedly increase the college entrance rate of her students by illegally expelling them, resulting in irreversible damage to the bodies of many students.

Zhang Lexuan closed the file, looked up at Ju Zi, her eyes filled with scrutiny and a hint of seriousness: "What does your esteemed chamber of commerce want?"

With this document in hand, she could almost quickly conduct a large-scale purge of the outer courts, establish her authority, and thus accelerate the process of regaining power.

Therefore, she did not believe that the other party would give such a generous gift for no reason; there must be some ulterior motive.

However, Ju Zi gently shook her head. She gazed at Zhang Lexuan, her eyes seemingly able to penetrate that aloof exterior and see into some unknown corners of her heart.

Her voice was soft, yet it possessed a peculiar penetrating power:

"No need."

Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, even more puzzled.

"why?"

Orange's smile deepened, a smile that seemed to contain some unspoken understanding.

With a soft laugh, she slowly began to speak:

"It's simple, because we are the same."

Zhang Lexuan was puzzled, but seeing the familiar smile in Ju Zi's eyes behind her half-rimmed glasses, she seemed to understand something.

But at the same time, a question kept arising in her mind.

How many people are around him?

……

……

Inside Kong Ming'an's room at the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Completely unaware that his reputation has been damaged. Well, it seems Kong Ming'an's reputation in this regard has never been good, and even if they knew, Kong Ming'an wouldn't care.

It's already a ruin, why would we be afraid of it collapsing?

Hyotei, as always, occupied the soft, large bed that originally belonged to Kongming An.

Her petite body sank into the fluffy bedding, her delicate feet, covered in sheer black stockings, listlessly curled up and moved slightly, seemingly protruding through the air.

Meanwhile, Kongming sat quietly at his desk, his eyes slightly closed, a silent, silvery light flowing from the depths of his gaze.

His consciousness was immersed in the ocean of information constructed by the "Spiritual Pivot Network," rapidly browsing detailed reports about this year's freshmen at Shrek Academy.

A massive stream of information flowed before his eyes like a waterfall, and naturally, Tang San was the first one highlighted.

As expected, Tang San was "lucky" enough to be assigned to Class One, the class of Zhou Yi, who was known for her strict and unique teaching methods.

After he had Ju Zi hand over the evidence to Zhang Lexuan, Zhang Lexuan would most likely take action against the outer court to establish her authority. Naturally, she would have to make an example of someone, and Zhou Yi would be a perfect "chicken."

Incidentally, Tang San might also be implicated, since the internal Shrek Academy documents also recorded Tang San's conflict with Dai Huabin when he enrolled.

In the personality assessment, labels such as "irritable" and "paranoid" were highlighted in bold, indicating that they were likely being closely monitored.

It can only be said that the will of this plane is cunning; it knows how to torment Tang San to the point of near death without hindering its plans or killing him outright.

They're really full of resentment.

Chapter 125 On the Feeding Ability of Dimensional Will

Just leave Tang San aside and let him fend for himself for now; there's no need to worry about him too much.

Immediately afterwards, he focused his attention on Huo Yuhao.

Unlike in the original novel, Huo Yuhao did not enter Zhou Yi's class, but instead entered Class Two. Furthermore, perhaps as a result of his active use of the connections he had with the Body Sect, Dai Huabin was also assigned to Class Two.

Although because of his existence, Huo Yuhao no longer has the help of Tianmeng, Elder Yi, and Bingdi from the original novel,

However, Huo Yuhao's innate talent in terms of willpower remains at its peak, and his comprehension is also quite good.

Although his innate soul power was average, the Body Sect was willing to nurture him, and he also chose to cultivate both "body cultivation" and "magic cultivation," with his "magic cultivation" following the "self-condensation" route.

Based on this mindset and choice, Kong Ming'an was almost certain that Huo Yuhao's future would be bright and that he was worth investing resources in for the long term.

Then there was Xiao Xiao, whom he paid a little more attention to.

This person possesses twin martial souls, and even twin weapon martial souls. Leaving aside the Nine Phoenix Arrival Flute, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron would be quite suitable for assisting in body tempering.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao is currently considered a "body cultivator," and she was assigned to Class Three along with Ning Tian, ​​the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who is currently engaged in in-depth cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and has temporarily chosen the "magic cultivation" path of imprinting.

Twin martial souls are already one in ten thousand, and twin weapon martial souls are even rarer.

After a brief observation, he felt that Xiao Xiao's aptitude was a perfect fit for a project he was still conceiving, which he tentatively named "Divine Artifact."

For this reason, Xiao Xiao was also listed as a key person to be observed and cultivated by him.

His attention swept over the list, but Kong Ming'an's consciousness stirred slightly as he continued searching the list of Shrek Academy's new students.

However, after searching the list of new students and even retrieving the lists of candidates and those who were not selected, one name that should have appeared was still nowhere to be found.

It's not Wang Dong, or rather, where is Wang Dong'er?

Kong Ming'an frowned slightly. He had always maintained a considerable level of attention towards this person with a special identity—the daughter of the Sea God Tang San.

This is not only because of her connection to Tang San in the God Realm, but also because deep within her soul, there is a high possibility that her father's divine thoughts or some divine imprint are attached to her.

This is the rare sample he currently needs. With this, he might be able to interfere with Tang San's divine trial in the lower realm and even target the Sea God's position.

But where are they now?

His consciousness performed another full-range search, but the result was the same as before—nothing was found.

"She's gone?" A sense of doubt arose in Kong Ming'an's heart because some of his previous actions had produced an unexpected chain reaction, changing the trajectory of Wang Dong'er's fate.

This is not impossible, considering his arrival in this world, his recruitment of the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, his establishment of the Mingmeng Merchant Guild, his promotion of the new cultivation system, and his interference in Shrek Academy's internal affairs.

He had unknowingly changed too many predetermined fates, and Wang Dong'er, this variable, seemed to be within reason.

He frowned slightly, quickly considering Wang Dong'er's possible whereabouts.

Haotian Sect?

This is a very plausible guess.

As the youngest princess of the Haotian Sect, the disappearance of Da Ming and Er Ming might lead the sect to believe that the risks from the outside world have increased, thus prompting them to protect Wang Dong'er within the sect.

Furthermore, because Tang San in the God Realm was constantly being watched by the God of Destruction, he couldn't make any small moves, so the original "dog leash" plan was highly unlikely to be implemented.

In conclusion, the chances of Wang Dong'er being in the Haotian Sect are quite high.

However, for some reason, Kong Ming'an didn't feel that Wang Dong'er was in the Haotian Sect.

He lowered his eyes, his thoughts racing, a flood of information swirling in his mind as he tried to grasp any possible clue.

At a certain moment, as if receiving a prompt, Kong Ming'an paused slightly, and something seemed to come to mind.

With a thought, he sent a message directly to Miss Meng, who was far away at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, through the "Spiritual Pivot Network".

[Kong Ming'an]: Dream, send me a list of students admitted to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this year.

Almost instantly, a reply came.

[Dream of the Mortal World]: What do you need this for? (Attachment: "Student List of the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Year XXXX.pdf")

【Dream of the Mortal World】: This year, the academy has expanded its enrollment, which has also extended the enrollment period, so enrollment is not yet over.

【Dream of the Red Dust】: I copied this student list directly from the "Ling Shu Network" system within the academy. Please make do with it for now. If it doesn't work, I'll give you another copy in a few days.

[Kong Ming'an]: Thank you.

【Dream of the Mortal World】: Please give a more practical thank you.

[Kong Ming'an]: If it's what I think, I'll probably go back in a little while.

【Dream of the Mortal World】: Then I'll wait for you to come back.

After the conversation ended, Kong Ming'an immediately opened the attached document using his mind.
