Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month went by. The results of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament swept across every corner of the Continent like a storm. This was all thanks to the work of the Mingmeng Daily and its public opinion network.
Most major forces did not say anything about the results, but they also did not stop the newspapers from spreading everywhere. Because of this, the situation on the Continent began to change in subtle ways, all because of a single academy competition.
At the same time, the Body Sect, which was once a hidden sect, finally appeared in public. They showed up at a royal banquet held by the Tianhun Empire. Reporters saw the Body Sect Master, the Emperor of the Tianhun Empire, and the Vice President of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce all talking and laughing together at the party.
Soon, many rumors began to spread about how these three groups were working together. This made the situation on the Continent even more confusing for everyone.
However, Kong Mingan, the person who planned all of this, was not paying attention to the news. He was currently at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, standing by the side of the cold spring. A thick, milky white mist flowed over the water.
Through the haze, you could see two figures standing together in the center of the spring. The extremely cold energy in the spring flowed like a gentle stream, pouring into one of the figures. The air around them felt bone-chillingly cold.
On the shore, Tang Ya sat with another tall girl. This girl had long, neat golden hair and very fair skin. She was very pretty and had a pair of long, straight legs. Most notably, she had a pair of white rabbit ears on her head that looked very cute. This girl was Jiang Nannan.
In the original story, Jiang Nannan had a very difficult life because her family was poor and her mother was very sick. She had been forced to make a deal with Xu Sanshi, which caused her a lot of emotional pain. But in this life, things were different because of the Enlightenment Plan started by Kong Mingan.
As a genius commoner Spirit Master, the Chamber of Commerce found her as soon as she joined the academy. They sponsored her quickly. Even though she still studied at Shrek Academy, she was now a member of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce. She was also Tang Ya's roommate and best friend.
Kong Mingan had previously told Tang Ya that he would give her an assistant. He let Ju Zi handle the details, and Ju Zi let Tang Ya choose someone she knew. Naturally, Tang Ya chose her good friend. Right now, both of them were chewing on some tender Blue Silver Grass. They were absorbing its life force while they watched the scene in the cold spring. They started whispering to each other.
President Kong is really busy, Tang Ya said with a soft sigh. He just spent a long time talking to those other two girls, and now he has been hugging that beautiful older sister for a whole week.
Tang Ya had read in the newspaper about how the President led the Sun Moon Battle Team to defeat Shrek. She was impressed by his strength, but she was even more impressed by how he managed so many different relationships at once. It seemed like everyone got along perfectly. After thinking for a moment, Tang Ya hugged Jiang Nannan.
Nannan, you have to be careful, Tang Ya whispered. Keep your eyes open and do not let bad men deceive you.
Jiang Nannan blinked, not quite sure why her friend was saying this. She gave a small smile and nodded. I will listen to you, Xiao Ya, she said. I definitely won't be tricked by men.
Tang Ya narrowed her eyes and got even closer. What if it is the President who wants to trick you? she asked.
Jiang Nannan stopped for a second. She looked over at the blue figure standing in the cold spring and then looked away quickly. If the President did that, he would probably have a good reason, she replied. I trust him.
Tang Ya just stared at her friend. She realized that her best friend was already completely lost. Tang Ya puffed out her cheeks and went back to chewing on her Blue Silver Grass. She felt a little bit jealous. Just as she was about to say something else, the mist on the cold spring started to move.
A moment later, the figures of Kong Mingan and the Snow Empress became clear. They were holding hands as they walked across the ice toward the shore. The Snow Empress had long white hair that shimmered in the light, and she looked very calm. It was clear that the cold energy from the spring had helped her heal. After more than a month, the injuries she got from the God Sealing Platform were finally gone.
Kong Mingan felt them watching and looked over at the shore. Immediately, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan looked down at the ground. They stared at the Blue Silver Grass at their feet as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.
Is something wrong? the Snow Empress asked. Her voice was cool as she looked at him.
It is nothing, Kong Mingan replied, looking away from the girls. I just realized that I have changed the lives of many people without even knowing it.
The Snow Empress tilted her head, looking a bit confused. She did not quite understand what he meant, so she just moved a bit closer and gripped his hand tighter. Kong Mingan did not bother the two girls on the shore. He led the Snow Empress to the other side of the spring where they sat down on two mats.
Kong Mingan began to study the energy inside the Snow Empress's body. He was trying to finish his research on Elementalization, which was already eighty percent done. While he did this, he also felt the spirit power inside his own body. It had reached a very important point. He was now Level 20.
It had been less than two years since he got his first spirit ring. During those two years, he spent most of his time on research and experiments rather than training. Reaching Level 20 this fast was not normal. The reason he could do it was because he was using a special method.
He thought for a moment, and a black spirit ring appeared in his hand. This was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring from a Thorny Dragon. Instead of just floating there, the ring was slowly spinning like a galaxy. In the center of the ring, there was a small vortex of spirit power. It was constantly absorbing energy from the world and turning it into pure spirit power for him.
This was the Saint Guiding spirit ring. Kong Mingan knew that in the world of Electrolux, there were things called Spirit Furnaces. They were not weapons, but energy cores that gave the user special powers. One of the best ones was the Saint Guiding Spirit Furnace.
It could automatically collect energy for its owner, helping them reach a higher rank much faster. Kong Mingan had successfully used this idea to help himself grow stronger while he focused on his work.
