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

"To be honest, after seeing a lot of them, you realize that many of them are essentially the same, so it's not all that special."

"But I really can't understand such an eerie being as you."

"Your power composition, the essence of your spirit rings, and especially the fact that you're merely a Spirit King—no, when you stole my divine origin, you weren't even a Spirit King, just a minor Spirit Master."

“But even so, you were still able to steal my divine position origin, and especially after you took it, my divine position origin no longer recognized me. This is too strange.”

As the Asura God spoke, he sized up Kong Ming'an as if he were looking at a rare and precious animal.

"So, it's because of this?" Kong Ming'an's tone was slightly doubtful.

"That's why," the God of Asura nodded firmly, "Instead of aimlessly wandering the vast universe searching for so-called opportunities, it's better to come back and see what your situation is."

"Anyway, as a deity, I have more than enough lifespan to use. Spending some time observing you will only result in wasting a few hundred years at worst."

"But what if you actually manage to forge a new path?"

Kong Ming'an paused slightly; this reason did indeed seem plausible.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's strike first. For beings with such long lifespans as the Asura God, spending a few hundred years to confirm one possibility is entirely worthwhile.

At that moment, the God of Destruction frowned slightly and coldly asked, "You're coming back?"

The Asura God looked at him and nodded: "Of course I have to come back. I can't keep maintaining the connection between the divine origins and this projection forever, can I?"

"Let's not even talk about how difficult this is." Shura God pointed at Kong Ming'an.

"I don't think this kid would allow such an uncertain factor like me to stay by his side. If it were me, and I had the strength, I would have eliminated this thing spying on me immediately."

"Given how unorthodox this kid is, I think it's entirely possible for him to do it, and it might not even take long. I don't want to die."

Kong Ming'an remained silent, his expression stern.

The Asura God continued, "Using this small amount of divine essence, I can establish a connection with the divine essence within Tang San to pinpoint my target. From there, I can find my way back."

"However, I traveled quite far back then, and it takes time to locate and traverse. Even at full speed, considering the time flow rate in the Douluo Continent, it would take at least five or six years,"

He turned his gaze to Kong Ming'an again, a hint of expectation in his crimson eyes:

"I hope you can give me a surprise when I get back, but I can't just take your things for nothing."

"As an apology for startling you earlier, I'll give you a gift," the Asura God's voice was tinged with amusement. "I think this gift will suit your taste."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Asura God became illusory, and then in the next moment, his formed form completely shattered, turning into specks of blood-red light that vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the dark red "Asura God Ring" beside Kong Ming'an suddenly shone brightly, and a massive torrent of information surged directly into Kong Ming'an's mind through the connection between the soul ring and his origin.

Sensing the massive influx of information, two silver spirit rings appeared simultaneously beside Kong Ming'an, radiating dazzling silver starlight.

With "Ling Shu" as the primary spirit ring and "Ling Shu Auxiliary" as the secondary spirit ring, both directly receive this massive amount of information.

In just a few breaths, the vast amount of information was integrated, edited, and organized by "Ling Shu," transformed into a document, and stored in "Ling Shu's" database.

With a thought, the information unfolded, but after only glancing at it twice, Kong Ming'an unconsciously paused slightly.

The Asura God gave him all the information about "divine positions," including even the method for forging them!

Furthermore, in addition to this, there is also the forging of the divine weapon, the selection of materials, and the blueprints for the construction of the "Asura Divine Sword"!

A silvery light emanated from the corners of Kong Ming'an's eyes, and his gaze flickered slightly.

This is truly a wonderful gift.

Chapter 136 Concept of Natal Magic Treasure

After an unknown amount of time, Kong Ming'an, who was somewhat engrossed in the knowledge of "divine positions" and "divine artifacts," slowly came back to his senses.

In my perception, the auras of the Asura God and the God of Destruction had completely disappeared, and the open space in the suburbs had returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.

The Asura God simply fled. Of course, before leaving, to show his sincerity, the Asura God had proactively severed all ties with the origin of this part of the Asura God's divine position.

According to the God of Destruction, if Kong Ming'an hadn't proactively engaged his senses and established a temporary two-way connection with the God of Asura, the God of Asura would never have been able to sense him.

Even the projections that appeared later were only sent over by the Asura God through the two-way connection constructed by Kong Ming'an.

At most, this method can only be used to mess with someone like Tang San who can't control his divine position; it has no effect on something as "evil" as Kong Ming'an.

So in a sense, this unexpected encounter was largely due to Kong Ming'an's excessive curiosity.

Sensing the divine essence within the Asura God Ring beside him, Kong Ming'an sighed softly. Indeed, sometimes, restraint is necessary.

Being too curious is not a good thing.

To ensure there were no problems, Kong Ming'an had the God of Destruction check the safety of this part of the source before leaving. Only after confirming there were no issues did Kong Ming'an relax a little.

Thus, what Kong Ming'an initially perceived as a life-or-death crisis naturally vanished in this somewhat strange way.

Incidentally, he also gained knowledge about "divine positions" and "divine artifacts" at the God-King level, which was truly worthwhile.

He didn't linger long in this suburban open space. Kong Ming'an stepped forward, his body disappearing into the spatial ripples.

The figure reappeared in the Mingdu Laboratory, and Miss Meng, who had been waiting silently there, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“If it takes a few more minutes, even if you send me a message, I will have to inform Grandpa Kong, Elder Yi, and Xue Di.”

"At least we're back safe and sound."

Kong Ming'an comforted her softly.

From the moment he teleported away to the arrival of the Asura God and the God of Destruction, only a few seconds had passed.

Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen, reacting with lightning speed, had already prepared to activate the highest level of emergency plan, using the "Ling Shu Network" to directly notify everyone.

If Kongming hadn't appeared before the God of Destruction, ensuring his safety and promptly sending back a message of reassurance through the "Ling Shu Network," who knows what might have happened.

He's surrounded by far too many powerful figures and entities right now. If something happens to him, many people will panic. Of course, he's already prepared more than one backup plan for resurrection, so it's still quite difficult for him to die.

Without doing anything else, Kong Ming'an simply soothed Miss Meng's slightly tense nerves, and after a long while, the matter came to an end.

Next, Kong Ming'an did not rush to study the knowledge of the newly acquired "divine position" and "divine artifact," but instead dealt with Wang Dong'er's matter first.

Since he tricked her into coming to the lab three months ago, this girl has been sleeping for three whole months.

Of course, there was no other way, since he needed to use the divine power and spiritual sense left behind by Tang San to create the Sea God Martial Soul for this girl, which was essentially like performing a major operation on her soul.

In this situation, it's natural that Wang Dong'er cannot remain awake; it's normal for her to be asleep.

Now that the surgery is over and he has gotten what he wanted, he naturally has to let the person go.

Watching Wang Dong'er, who was still somewhat bewildered and clearly didn't understand the situation, being led away by the staff he had arranged and given an explanation, Kong Ming'an withdrew his gaze.

He didn't bother to explain anything to Wang Dong'er, as it would be a waste of his time. Besides, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Dong'er would definitely come to him later, and he could explain then.

Waking up to find that three months have passed, and upon careful examination of one's physical condition, discovering that one has gained a new martial soul, who could resist going to inquire about it?

Wang Dong'er came to Mingdu to find Da Ming and Er Ming.

These two are now diligently serving as security guards in his undead demiplane, paying off their debts by donating blood.

He would then take Wang Dong'er to meet them, and then take the opportunity to have her sign a contract and become their employee.

In this way, it would be much easier for him to continue using the other party's Sea God Martial Soul to interfere with Tang San's Sea God Trial in the lower realm, and to continue manipulating Tang San's Asura God position in the God Realm.

Hmm. That makes perfect sense.

After seeing Wang Dong'er off, Kong Ming'an reconnected to the "Spiritual Pivot" and retrieved the knowledge about "divine positions" and "divine artifacts" that the "Spiritual Pivot" had just compiled.

After briefly reviewing these two documents, he came up with a very interesting idea.

Essentially, "divine positions" and "divine artifacts" share certain commonalities, except that the former is forged from energy such as the power of faith, while the latter is forged from certain physical materials.

Both of these can be used to grant and amplify the user's powerful abilities.

Could we then integrate "divine position" into "divine artifact," with the "divine artifact" as the outer form and the "divine position" as the inner form, so that possessing and using the "divine artifact" would be equivalent to using the power of the "divine position"?

And

Kong Ming'an glanced at his Asura God Ring beside him.

Soul rings are malleable; theoretically, it is possible to forge a godhood or even a deity using soul rings.

If the method of integrating "divine position" into "divine artifact" is feasible, then soul rings can also be used in conjunction with this method.

Because of the connection between the Soul Master and the Soul Ring, weapons forged in this way will inevitably have a close relationship with the Soul Master and be easy to control.

In short, it means "recognizing a master".

And this, perhaps, is the "natal magic weapon"?

After organizing his somewhat far-fetched but certainly plausible inspiration, Kong Ming'an directly handed it over to "Ling Shu" for trial and error.

Ultimately, this is knowledge at the level of a god-king; he couldn't possibly master it in a short period of time.

Learning while simultaneously organizing inspiration and sending it to "Ling Shu" for recording and trial and error—this two-pronged approach is the only way to increase efficiency.

Having settled everything, Kong Ming'an finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. This matter was now truly over; all he had to do was wait for further developments.

Thinking this, Kong Ming'an unconsciously frowned slightly, as if he had forgotten something.

He subconsciously opened the "Ling Shu Network," pulled up his personal memo and flipped through it, but found nothing.

Looking inward, he finally sensed an aura emanating from the contract. This fluctuation indicated that he had broken the contract.

But, I breached the contract? What did I breach? Wait... Kong Ming'an suddenly remembered something.

He and Zhang Lexuan also had a "once every two weeks" agreement.

And he hasn't fulfilled his promise for three whole months.

Something's happened.

Chapter 137 I'm tired, let's destroy everything.

Outside the office of Zhang Lexuan, the prospective head of the Sea God Pavilion, in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming simultaneously turned their gaze to the tightly closed solid wood door, then exchanged a brief glance, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Lexuan has finally decided to take a break." Wu Ming patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear. "She worked tirelessly for three months straight without sleep, I really thought she was made of iron."

Han Ruoruo nodded gently, her beautiful face showing a hint of fatigue and relief: "Yes, she won't listen to anyone's advice, it's like she's holding a grudge against someone. If this continues, even if she's a Soul Douluo, her body and mind won't be able to hold on."

For the past three months, Zhang Lexuan has thrown herself into Shrek's mountain of backlogged tasks with an almost self-destructive fervor.

She personally oversaw everything from reforming discipline and settling old scores to coordinating with the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce and preparing for the upcoming new student assessment. She was like a tireless machine.

As her two right-hand women, they kept urging her to rest, but Zhang Lexuan never listened.

Just now, Zhang Lexuan finally showed signs of fatigue and told them that she needed to rest for a while, which made their tense nerves relax a little.

"Sister Ruoruo, let's hurry up and take care of what we can handle first." Wu Ming rallied her spirits, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"I'll try to finish as much as possible before Sister Lexuan gets a good rest, so she can have an easier time too."

Han Ruoruo nodded slightly.

When Zhang Lexuan first assumed power, she had few trustworthy people to rely on, so she had to handle many things personally.

In addition to the obvious tasks involved in opening the new student assessment to the public, there were also plans to be implemented simultaneously. With both of these overlapping, the workload increased exponentially, and they had no choice but to continue handling it.

The two turned and walked to the secretary's office next door, continuing to bury themselves in piles of documents and handle their affairs.

Before entering the secretary's office, Han Ruoruo couldn't help but glance at the closed door again.

Is it an illusion?

Through the heavy door, she seemed to hear again an extremely faint sound, like metal chains gently dragging on the ground.

It was very light and brief, as if it were just an illusion.

……

……

Inside the office, the scene was completely different from the tranquil rest that Han Ruoruo and the others had imagined outside the door.

Zhang Lexuan wasn't lying on the bed in the lounge, but rather sitting with her back against the edge of a large desk.

Her well-tailored black uniform was somewhat disheveled, and her once meticulously styled long hair was now loosely scattered, casually clinging to her slightly sweaty forehead and cheeks.

She was slightly out of breath, a hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness furrowing between her cool brows. She leaned against Kong Ming'an, reaching out to grab the blood-red chain that Kong Ming'an was holding in his hand.

"Give it to me." Her voice was weak from exhaustion, but it contained an undeniable determination.

Kong Ming'an shook his head, his tone resolute and unwavering: "No, you're not in the right state right now, I can't let you do whatever you want."
