Time slowly passed, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month went by.
The results of the All-Continent AdvancedSpirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, through the operations of the "Mingmeng Daily" and its controlled public opinion network, swept across every corner of the Continent like a storm.
Regarding this, various forces did not step forward to comment, but there were no restrictions whatsoever on the newspapers of the "Mingmeng Daily," allowing them to spread freely.
The situation on the Continent, in what seemed to be just the outcome of an academy competition, subtly underwent delicate changes.
At the same time, the Body Sect, originally a hidden Sect, appeared at a royal banquet in the Heaven Soul Empire.
Reporters also reported that the Body Sect Master, the Heaven Soul Empire's Emperor, and the Vice President of Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce all appeared at the banquet and conversed happily.
Many rumors about the Body Sect, Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, and the Heaven Soul Empire's contact and cooperation began to spread, making the already delicate situation on the Continent even more confusing.
Of course, Kong Mingan, who orchestrated all of this, did not focus his attention on this… At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, on the side of the cold spring.
Milky white cold mist flowed, and in the haze, two embracing ethereal figures could vaguely be seen standing in the center of the cold spring.
Within the cold spring, the extremely cold Energy flowed like a gentle stream, continuously pouring into one of the white figures, its aura flowing, bone-chilling.
On the shore, Tang Ya and another tall girl sat together.
The girl had neat golden long hair, fair skin, and a pretty face, especially a pair of exceptionally long and straight legs, and even more striking were the pair of white rabbit ears on top of her head, which were very cute.
It was Jiang Nan Nan.
In the original work, Jiang Nan Nan, due to her family's poverty and her mother's serious illness, was forced to make a deal with Xu Sanshi, suffering inner pain and developing a psychological shadow from it.
But now, thanks to the "Enlightenment Plan" launched by Kong Mingan very early on, as a Genius commoner Spirit Master, Jiang Nan Nan was marked by the Commerce as soon as she entered the academy.
After simple contact, she was quickly discovered and sponsored by Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, and although she still studied at Shrek Academy, she had become an peripheral member of the Commerce and was also Tang Ya's roommate and good friend.
Kong Mingan had previously said he would assign Tang Ya an assistant, and he entrusted this matter to Ju Zi. Ju Zi, referencing Tang Ya's social connections, ultimately had Tang Ya choose personally.
And then… Tang Ya brought her good friend along.
At this moment, both of them were chewing on a tender Blue Silver Grass, absorbing its life force while watching the scene in the cold spring, whispering to each other.
"Tsk… President Kong is truly 'busy.' He just chatted with two other girls for so long, and then he's hugging a beautiful older sister, and they've been hugging for a whole week…"
Tang Ya sighed softly.
Compared to the absolute strength her President displayed in leading the Sun Moon Team to defeat Shrek, which she read about in the newspaper,
She was more impressed by how her President managed to juggle so many relationships without capsizing, and even how each of those relationships seemed to be exceptionally harmonious… After thinking for a moment, Tang Ya looked to her side and hugged Jiang Nan Nan: "Nan Nan, you absolutely must keep your eyes peeled and not be deceived by bad men!"
"???"
Jiang Nan Nan blinked, momentarily unsure what was wrong with her good friend, and with a slight smile, she still nodded gently:
"Mhm, I'll listen to Xiao Ya, I definitely won't be deceived by men."
Hearing this, Tang Ya narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered, "What if it's the President who wants to deceive you?"
"Uh…"
Jiang Nan Nan paused, unconsciously glancing at the pale blue figure above the cold spring, then slightly averted her gaze.
"If the President deceives me… there would probably be his reasons. I trust the President."
Tang Ya: "…"
Alright, confirmed, my best friend is beyond saving!
Tang Ya puffed out her cheeks, chewing on the Blue Silver Grass, feeling a bit sour again. Just as she was about to speak, the next moment, the mist above the cold spring, which had been calm for several days, rippled.
In just a moment, Kong Mingan and Snow Empress's figures became clear from within.
The two naturally held hands and walked across the ice towards the shore. Snow Empress's white long hair shimmered with light, and her aura was calm.
Clearly, with the help of the extreme cold Energy of the cold spring for healing, after more than a month, the injuries Snow Empress sustained from the God Sealing Platform had basically healed.
As he thought this, Kong Mingan felt the gazes from the shore and swept his eyes over.
Immediately, Tang Ya and Jiang Nan Nan, who had been chatting and slacking off together, lowered their heads directly, looking intently at the thriving Blue Silver Grass at their feet, as if saying, "This Blue Silver Grass is truly Blue Silver Grass."
"What's wrong?"
Snow Empress's voice sounded from his side, her gaze cool as she looked at him.
"Nothing…" Kong Mingan retracted his gaze, a hint of emotion on his face, "…I just suddenly feel that, unknowingly, I seem to have changed the destinies of many people."
"Hmm?"
Snow Empress tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Snow Empress still couldn't quite figure it out, she just leaned slightly closer to Kong Mingan, gripping his hand a little tighter.
Without disturbing Tang Ya and Jiang Nan Nan, Kong Mingan led Snow Empress to the other side of the cold spring and sat down cross-legged on two nearby futons.
While meticulously observing the Energy structure of Snow Empress's body in his mind, to complete the "Elementalization" which was already over eighty percent complete,
Kong Mingan also felt the spirit power in his body's Meridians, which had already reached a critical point.
Level 20.
From acquiring his first spirit ring until now, it had been less than two years in total.
And in these two years, most of his Energy had been invested in research, experiments, and various affairs, with very little time truly spent on active Cultivation.
And now, he was Level 20.
Clearly, this was not normal. The main reason he was able to Cultivate to Level 20 so quickly was… he had activated a "Cultivation cheat code."
With a thought, a deep black spirit ring emerged from his palm.
This ten-thousand-year spirit ring, taken from a Thorny Dragon, was not calmly suspended in his hand at this moment,
But was slowly rotating like a nebula.
At the center of that spirit ring, a subtle but stable spirit power vortex was autonomously absorbing the Origin Qi from the surrounding World at all times, converting it into pure spirit power.
This was — the "Saint Guiding spirit ring."
As is well known, in Electrolux's original World system — the Divine Throne of Seal — there existed a type of World treasure called a "Spirit Furnace."
A Spirit Furnace was not a weapon or armor, but a special existence similar to an Energy core, possessing various miraculous effects, capable of integrating into the user's body, granting them various abilities.
And among them, one of the greatest functions of the "Saint Guiding Spirit Furnace" was its ability to autonomously maintain a spirit power vortex, continuously accumulating spirit power for its owner to raise their Realm.
