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

"Tsk, then it can't be used?" Meng Hongchen pouted, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

However, Kong Ming'an shook his head again.

His gaze returned to the sleeping girl in the test chamber, the pale blue light in his eyes brightening once more, deeper than before, as if calculating some extremely complex possibility.

But after a moment, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

"No"

His voice echoed clearly in the silent laboratory.

"It works."

"And it's very useful."

Perhaps because Tang San from the God Realm hadn't repaired it, and also because he wasn't skilled in matters of the soul, this divine power and divine sense had thinned to the point of almost naturally dissipating.

The divine power and divine sense in this state were just within the extent that he could barely interfere with.

It is now known that the divine power and divine sense that Tang San left in Wang Dong'er can only coexist with Wang Dong'er's fragmented soul, transforming into something similar to a martial soul in an almost symbiotic way in order to continue to exist.

The question is, could he use this to integrate a portion of his power into the divine power and divine thoughts left behind by Tang San, thereby interfering with, analyzing, and even controlling the divine power and divine thoughts left behind by Tang San?

If the analysis of true divine power is successful, it can serve as a reference for the qualitative changes in soul power and blood energy, accelerating his progress in perfecting the system.

Furthermore, if he could simulate, or even construct, the power of the Sea God and simulate Tang San's divine sense...

Maybe he can even take the Sea God's position in front of Tang San and perform an instant refinement.

Chapter 128

Kong Ming'an's interest was rekindled after a long time.

Because of the "Ling Shu" (Spiritual Pivot), much of his research could be directly delegated to the "Ling Shu" for derivation; he only needed to be responsible for the final summary and optimization.

This had given him some free time recently, but now, this discovery has rekindled his interest.

Miss Meng, standing to the side, noticed Kong Ming'an's gaze and unconsciously sighed softly.

She knew that her childhood sweetheart would probably be "hiding" in the lab for a while longer.

Just as Miss Meng had guessed, Kong Ming'an soon entered a state of research.

This research took a full three months.

……

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Ming Capital

It was still the same laboratory located in the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce.

As the last wisp of energy vanished from his fingertips and merged into the body of the girl who had been asleep for three months inside the test chamber, Kong Ming'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He casually instructed "Ling Shu" to record and check the data from earlier, then leaned back heavily into the soft laboratory chair, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Three consecutive months of intense mental concentration and energy manipulation, without sleep or rest, resulted in a research process that went very smoothly, requiring almost no extra mental effort from him.

But at this moment, the moment he closed his eyes, a weariness that seemed to originate from the depths of his soul surged forth like a tidal wave, almost drowning his consciousness.

This time, I've really gotten a little carried away with the research.

He leaned back in his chair, seemingly too exhausted to even move to the resting area. His heavy eyelids slowly closed, and his consciousness sank rapidly into a deep, dreamless sleep amidst extreme fatigue.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he slowly awoke amidst a warm and faintly fragrant atmosphere.

The fragrance was delicate and familiar, with a subtle sweetness that unconsciously relaxed his tense nerves.

I opened my eyes, and above me was the familiar ceiling, but the angle was a bit strange; I could only see about a third of it.

He shifted slightly, realizing he was resting his head on something soft.

His gaze shifted slightly, meeting Meng Hongchen's gentle, smiling eyes.

He was lying on the sofa with his head resting on her legs.

"How long have I been asleep?" His voice was still hoarse from just waking up.

Meng Hongchen looked down at him, gently brushing aside a stray strand of black hair from his forehead with her fingertips, and said softly, "Not long, only about ten hours."

Kong Ming'an gave a soft "hmm" and slowly sat up, supporting himself.

The intense fatigue has subsided, replaced by the refreshed feeling after a deep sleep.

He subconsciously looked around, only to find that he and Meng Hongchen were the only two people in the laboratory.

"Where's Hyotei?" he asked unconsciously.

Meng Hongchen remained expressionless and replied in a calm tone, "Oh, Senior Hyotei, he said a few days ago that it was too stuffy here and went to find Senior Snow Emperor."

She naturally wouldn't say that for the past three months, she had stayed by Kong Ming'an's side almost every step of the way, occasionally wiping his cheeks, straightening his collar, and offering him support when he was extremely tired.

These subtle displays of affection clearly displeased a certain scorpion with a rather short temper, who ultimately decided to ignore them and stormed off.

On the surface, Meng Hongchen remained calm, but deep down, a small, unspoken sense of pride and ease flickered through her heart.

She gets jealous too, you know.

After a slight pause, Miss Meng steered the conversation back to the main topic: "How is the research going?"

When the research was mentioned, Kong Ming'an seemed to snap out of his reverie, nodding slightly and speaking with a relaxed tone: "It went very smoothly."

He thought for a moment, but didn't offer a direct explanation. He slowly stood up from the sofa.

After stretching his slightly stiff neck, Kong Ming'an smiled slightly, extended his hand, and softly invited Miss Meng to join him:

"We've been cooped up here for three months, let's go out and get some fresh air?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen's eyes flickered slightly, but she took Kong Ming'an's hand without hesitation, saying, "You said it yourself."

"nature."

Kong Ming'an smiled and said,

Without much hesitation, with a slight thought, silver spatial runes appeared beneath the enormous test chamber beside him, which housed the sleeping Wang Dong'er. At the same time, he gently reached out and embraced Meng Hongchen's waist.

The next moment, a silver-gray spatial portal silently opened before them, then moved forward on its own, engulfing Kong Ming'an, Meng Hongchen, and the test chamber beside them.

The laboratory fell silent once more.

……

……

On the other side, at Shrek Academy, on the outer playground,

It was already two or three in the afternoon. According to Shrek Academy's normal teaching schedule, the morning was used for classes, while the afternoon was left for students to arrange as they pleased.

However, at this moment, on the playground, a boy is carrying a burden far heavier than that of ordinary people, gritting his teeth and running step by step with difficulty on the circular track.

Sweat had already soaked through the boy's clothes, leaving intermittent dark marks behind him.

His ordinary face was contorted and grotesque due to extreme exhaustion and a kind of suppressed anger.

It was Tang San.

For Tang San, these three months of new life were nothing short of torture.

Because of his conflict with Dai Huabin upon entering the school, as well as his display of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and soul rings that surpassed those of ordinary soul masters, he successfully attracted the "special attention" of his homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi.

Initially, Zhou Yi's strict and uncompromising style, which only focused on results, even made him momentarily think that he had encountered a strict teacher like his mentor Yu Xiaogang, who believed that "there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters."

Especially when they were made to run laps at the beginning, it brought back a familiar feeling from deep in his memory, which made him miss it very much.

However, everything changed that very day after Zhou Yi was approached by several teachers.

This old hag seemed to have gone mad, starting to push herself to train even harder, and expelling any students who couldn't endure it.

In just one week, the entire class was reduced to less than ten people!

As for him, the most talented student in the class, Zhou Yi's standards for him were almost harsh.

They often subjected themselves to physical training several times that of others, euphemistically called "unlocking potential," and threatened with expulsion if they failed to meet the requirements.

Just like now, he's carrying four times the weight of the standard equipment, running laps like crazy on this playground, all because of a single sentence Zhou Yi left behind:

"If you don't win the freshman assessment, you're out of Shrek Academy!"

"That old hag... she really knows how to get herself killed!"

Tang San cursed wildly in his heart, but his lungs heaved violently like bellows, each breath accompanied by a burning pain.

He gritted his teeth, squeezing out the last bit of strength from his body, trying to complete this inhuman training. After all, if he failed, even more terrifying training would await him.

However, just as his consciousness was becoming somewhat blurred due to lack of oxygen—

A cold, authoritative voice descended upon the depths of his soul without warning:

[The Divine Test has been updated]

Chapter 129 The Prelude to the Usurpation of Divine Power

Upon hearing this divine test from the depths of his soul, Tang San, who was already on the verge of his limit and barely breathing, was first slightly stunned, and then overjoyed beyond his control!

The God Exam has been updated!

Without a doubt, this must have been done by his true form in the divine realm!

Although his memory is incomplete and he doesn't possess all the memories of the original body, he still knows some basic knowledge.

For example, the divine tests of a deity can only be adjusted by the deity himself. For instance, his tests as the sea god can only be interfered with by the deity himself as the sea god.

Unless his physical body perishes, leaving the position of the Sea God vacant, there is absolutely no possibility for any other being to attempt to seize the Sea God's divine throne.

It's impossible for someone to forcibly alter my Sea God's test while my original body is still alive, right? That's utterly absurd and a complete joke!

Therefore, without a doubt, the changes in the Sea God's Divine Examination are due to interference from his physical body.

Since the original body is able to interfere with the divine test, it is clear that the original body's situation in the divine realm must have improved!

Tang San was invigorated at this moment, and without hesitation, he endured the excruciating pain in his body and the blurring of his consciousness, concentrating his mind to "check" the updated content of the divine test.

The Fourth Trial by Poseidon

[Content: Continue running laps and push your limits.]

[Reward: Infusion of Asura God's Divine Power]

really!

Tang San's eyes blazed with indescribable excitement! The content of the Divine Trial had indeed changed!

He remembered that the original fourth trial of the Sea God required him to hunt down several soul beasts of a specific age, which was not only time-consuming and laborious but also quite dangerous.

And now, the divine test only requires him to keep running laps and push his limits? This couldn't be simpler for him!

It must be the real body helping him!

The enormous "surprise" acted like a shot of adrenaline, instantly injecting into Tang San's body, which was on the verge of collapse. His legs, which had felt as heavy as lead, started moving again, even faster than before!

At this moment, Tang San completely ignored the agonizing screams of his muscles tearing and the groans of his bones being unable to bear the weight. In a way that was almost self-destructive, he frantically squeezed every bit of potential out of his body, just to complete the "beyond the limit" divine test!

In the distance, Zhou Yi, who had been closely monitoring the training, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her usually stern face.

Judging from Tang San's condition, she was already prepared to end today's training to avoid any real problems that could affect the subsequent freshman assessment.

Unexpectedly, this kid was able to unleash such amazing willpower and potential even in that state, and accelerate once again?

She paused slightly, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.

Three months ago, Mu Jin, who had always been at odds with her, came to her door with several teachers from the college's newly established supervisory department and a series of evidence.

Subsequently, they openly questioned the rationality of her unusually high expulsion rate and the effectiveness of her "high-pressure elimination" teaching method.

She was naturally unconvinced and argued fiercely with Mu Jin. In the end, the two made a bet—with the freshman assessment as proof, she, Zhou Yi, would train the champion team for the freshman assessment!

And her most important trump card is Tang San, who seems ordinary but possesses the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and has amazing resilience!

She heard that this year's freshman assessment would be open to the public for the first time ever, allowing outsiders to observe, and that it would be a very large-scale event.

This is both a pressure and an opportunity.

She was determined to make sure her students won the championship this year. Only in this way could she completely silence Mu Jin and the doubters, and truly prove that her teaching methods were the most correct and efficient!
