At Da Shen's Institute, Part Two

Susan and Katy are currently feeling quite empty inside.

The principle behind the magic of Legilimency is actually very simple: it's about not thinking, eliminating distracting thoughts. In psychology, this is called 'flow' or 'mindlessness'.

It's a state that ordinary people can grasp and have entered multiple times in learning and games.

Legilimency that transforms this into an active skill that can be entered instantly; it is considered magic only because it is practiced by wizards.

With the spiritual space that had been created destroyed, the spell cards turned to nothingness, Internal Energy ceased to arise, magic power disappeared, and even one's own genes were reduced to mortal form. The thoughts that resided in each cell returned to the brain, and the power that was essentially connected to Chakra vanished, leaving only the [Soul of the Car] in the hands of Susan and Katy.

Amidst the engine roar echoing deep within their souls, it transformed into a cataclysmic event that extinguished Susan and Katy's consciousness, leaving them utterly empty.

The best way to sense how the blank canvas of body and soul can be repainted is to become a blank canvas yourself.

Thus their thoughts were extinguished, along with their manifested power that was cut off.

They also revived together, along with the construction of manifest power.

It all started with gene recombination.

A virus named [Compound V][Compound W] begins to secrete, and superpowers return.

The genes of the [Celestial Group] and the original cosmic soup formed by Cosmic Storm are reproduced.

Then comes the Current Propulsion.

Bioelectric signals surged again, transforming into tangible electric arcs that permeated every cell, and thought began to back up throughout the body.

Next is magic.

The self, that is, the heart, is reborn in the soul along with it, and finally falls into the mind, no longer confined to the brain in the body, and no longer needs [Magic Fiber] to flow around the body.

Then, a track-like environment hundreds or thousands of times larger than before was created, providing a spiritual space where cars could race.

The spell cards became part of the natural world.

Next comes Internal Energy.

Life force begins to materialize, circulating in the newly born organs called meridians.

Finally, there's Chakra.

It connects all connections.

Susan Katy's figure began to be replaced by two mini race cars.

Then the car started to Transfiguration.

Two figures emerged from it.

("Autobots, Transfiguration!" some Muggle-born wizard exclaimed.)

"Is this what it feels like to drive a car?"

"I feel like I've been reborn from the womb."

Susan and Katy both sighed.

Then they noticed four pairs of eyes staring at them.

"What happened to us?" x2

"One option," the Da Shen said, "You can implant additional [Soul Fragment]. Here is the list."

Susan and Katy took the notebook.

"What's this?"

"Car?"

The two men had expected photos of racers, but instead they saw pictures of cars.

"Of course it's a car," the Da Shen said. "The soul of a top-tier expert is shaped like a car."

"Hoshikage Kō," Susan read out the notes on the car's side, "[Sonic War God] [Pioneer Sonic] [Hurricane Sonic]."

"Can a person's soul have so many forms?"

"Just as the moon waxes and wanes, a driver's soul also changes with time," the Da Shen said. "These are the [Soul Fragment] they offer up at different points in time."

"Give it up?" Katy frowned. "It sounds like donating blood."

"For Eternity character, this is equivalent to donating blood." The Da Shen shrugged. "It's just that collecting blood is quite troublesome. It has to be done on the racetrack, with a race car that has appeared in the Destiny script. Training a 'blood collector' is not easy."

"Drivers become stronger because of the excitement of the races and the increase in mileage."

"The Eternity characters with the Dobby experience are undoubtedly the strongest."

"The further into time we go, the closer we get to the end of an era, the more powerful the 'blood collectors' will be needed."

"After all, not just any race car driver can get into the World Cup."

"Moreover, some forms, such as [Great Rush] and [Cosmic Sonic], have long been sealed away due to the abrupt end of the script. They will only appear when the script of destiny is about to be destroyed and they are needed to correct the chaos."

"So you mean," Susan looked at the later versions, "That I should choose the ones that are no longer available?"

The Da Shen nodded. "I recommend the [Cosmic Sonic]. It has a special gear transmission system that allows it to almost perfectly utilize every bit of horsepower on any track, including in zero-gravity environments. Hoshikage Gō's car is too reckless; it's only suitable for him. However..."

"But what?" Susan asked.

"I only have one copy of 'Cosmic Sonic' here; the other one is with Tsuchiya," the Da Shen said. "Who's going to start first?"

"Can't we just fuse the finished product directly?" Ron raised his hand. "Just like when I fused with those [Primal War God]."

"A car that incorporates high-tech features such as Time Stop and unlimited energy."

"Ideally, the car could reach the speed of light and even run in the sun."

"Ron, no material is more suitable for a car than the Soul of the Car Power itself," the Da Shen said. "A driver who uses the embryo of a real, physical Soul of the Car that is not yet dead as the main body is not the same as a driver who fights with the Soul of the Car that is combined with his own soul."

"They are 'Blood Collector,' unable to wield the power of immortality, destined to be born, grow old, get sick, and die like mortals, entering the [Racing Graveyard] along with their cars, becoming the victims Soul of the Car."

"Their power is built on sacrificing the future."

"You are able to absorb these embryos because the [Soul Fragment] residing within them are themselves waste."

"Even if the embryo is empty, it cannot absorb the fully formed embryo."

"What about the Soul of the Car in the [Racing Graveyard]? They inherit high technology," Ron asked. "The old man said that the younger the Soul of the Car, the higher the level of technology it contains."

"The older the Soul of the Car, the closer it is to the original Soul of the Car. The unprocessed Soul of the Car is the most powerful," the Da Shen said. "Only by directly fusing with the [Soul Fragment] can you inherit the most immortal power. Those abilities that evolved from the high technology in the car's embryo are just products of the immortal power in the [Soul Fragment] not being fully inherited, and some of it dissipating and becoming degraded."

"The Soul of the Car Power is an omnipotent power; whatever our technology can achieve, the driver can also reproduce."

"The most direct way is to use your own Soul of the Car Power to counteract the effect of the opponent's [Soul of the Car Technique]."

"Technological upgrades are simply like inserting a skill book into your souls. What you need to do is learn the contents of the skill book before your 'Soul of the Car' is restored to its original state."

"Then integrate it into your [signature skill]."

"The ultimate skill that suits the Soul of the Car."

"Your abilities are more suitable than exaggerated abilities such as Time Stop or Perpetual Motion Machine."

"Therefore, [Cosmic Sonic] is best suited for Susan and Katy." Ron understood the significance of this statement.

"Who wants to go first?" The Da Shen looked at the two of them.

Katy, no bigger than the palm of her hand, raised her tiny hand.

"Come with me," Okita Kai said.

Katy followed him through the middle door.

"Very good." The Da Shen nodded.

He then looked at Ron, Carrow, and Susan, "Your biggest problem has been solved. No amount of training can compare to actually participating in a match. A match from the script of destiny."

"The upcoming Spring Split will be your best training ground."

"The only thing you can get from me now is a remodeling surgery."

"I suggest starting with the basic techniques."

"For example, Black Hole Engine."

"Black hole? Superficial?" Ron's eyes couldn't help but dart around.

He simply couldn't connect the two words.

"Won't this affect my implantation of the [Soul Fragment]?" Susan asked.

The Da Shen shook his head. "It has no effect. I was in a hurry to send that girl to the [Reincarnation Pod] with Okita Kai simply because I wanted to see as soon as possible how strong the [Empty] driver would be after gaining an extra [Soul Fragment].

As he spoke, he led the group into a room that resembled a model shop.

"Black Hole Engine," he casually picked up a black motor from a shelf, "To create an Artificial Black Hole, using its gravity and energy as a power source, so that the car's performance can approach the speed of light infinitely, with almost unlimited energy."

"Simply Soul of the Car Power can achieve this level, but the Soul of the Car Power required is Astronomy."

"This is something that ordinary drivers cannot do."

"All the Soul of the Car Technique depend on energy, and compared to the illogical Perpetual Motion Machine, it is easier to learn."

"Near the speed of light?" Magneto exclaimed in shock. "That means it would only take him close to 3 seconds to run the entire Spring Race track?"

"This is the ideal situation," the Da Shen said. "We also need to consider the Soul of the Car Power to counteract the destructive force on the car and driver caused by this speed."

"The successful construction of the Black Hole Engine only provides infinite energy, not infinite Soul of the Car Power."

"So, after the modification, our competition only needs to focus on offsetting the negative effects of near-light speed?" Magneto asked.

The Da Shen shook his head, "You can only do it if you truly learn it."

"The modification is unstable when faced with soul pressure, that is, the pressure of the Soul of the Car Power."

"Just as you will be separated from the state of man and machine becoming one, your modifications will also disappear unless you learn to simulate it yourself using the Soul of the Car Power."

"In formal racing, there is no shortage of racers from the ancient times."

"They certainly wanted to fail, but bound by the script of fate, they could only reluctantly exert the strength required to maintain the script."

"But you don't need to worry, those ancient drivers did not undergo such modifications."

"They also tried their best to suppress their instinct to learn during the race in order to keep their mini-cars moving at a low speed."

"Our goal is to disrupt the script of fate and achieve true freedom."

"The slower their cars go, the better."

"The instinct to learn?" Ron was shocked. "They can learn it? Through the modifications to our cars?"

This reminded him of Li Lin from the Starry World and the Superhero World.

"Of course you can," the Da Shen said. "As long as your Soul of the Car Power is strong enough, you can do almost anything within the script's limits, including learning your opponent's car skills, whether it's their innate ability, something they learned later, or something they modified."

He selected three Black Hole Engine suitable for the three-person vehicle model. "Shall we begin?"

Susan shook her head. "I don't really need unlimited energy; simple acceleration technology might be more suitable for me."

Her [Healing Factor] brings almost limitless vitality, which can be transformed into limitless [Soul of the Car Power].

Although this infinity is only a pseudo-infinity brought about by powerful regenerative abilities, it still needs to be transformed.

But this is already equivalent to the energy-related function of Black Hole Engine.

"Simply acceleration technology? That makes sense, your body." The Da Shen only pondered for a moment before walking to the shelf against the wall and taking down a device resembling a watch face. "[Time Acceleration Device. The corrosive effects of time are ineffective against the Soul of the Car."

"You also possess infinite vitality without experiencing the [Great Cataclysm]."

"This is best for you."

"The speed you can achieve depends entirely on your willpower and the Soul of the Car Power."

"Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, there is no upper limit."

"The only limit lies in your own heart and the numbers that your Soul of the Car Power can manipulate."

"Your heart has truly experienced the same amount of time, but the only pity is that this mileage is just a false mileage and will not bring any substantial growth to the Soul of the Car."

"After all, no matter how many times the speed is increased, the actual mileage of the car does not change."

"Time speeds up, cool!" Ron exclaimed. "Is there anything that's just as cool as this for me?"

"Suitable for you?" The Da Shen sized up Ron. "The shape of your car resembles the [Primal War God], which indicates that the remnants reveal Aji's traits. And if we also consider your innate driving skills..."

"Black Hole Engine, still the same answer."

"Jet acceleration devices and external air fission chambers are too outdated technologies. They may suit you, but they are not as powerful as the near-light speed provided by Black Hole Engine. And that's without even considering unlimited energy."

"You too." He looked at Magneto.

"Even the most advanced electromagnetic technology is not as advanced as Black Hole Engine."

"Moreover, part of the Black Hole Engine is also related to electromagnetic technology."

"Alright, let's begin the surgery."

As he finished speaking, a powerful soul pressure emanated from him.

The three bodies shattered into dust.

The three cars reappeared in their original positions.

("Just a moment? Just soul pressure, and all three of them died?" Ginny questioned the meaning of life.)

(Ron, Katy, Magneto have all undergone training and received epic-level enhancements.)

(Even they shouldn't have died so easily before.)

(Take Magneto for example. The 750,000 horsepower he displayed when he merged with the car was enough to clean the earth's surface. In terms of destructive power, he was equivalent to Cosmic Knight.)

("It's not quite accurate to say it's just about soul pressure," Harry said. "The power of this world comes from their Soul of the Car, which is their greatest strength. It's normal for them to use their greatest strength to crush opponents weaker than them.")

("This is equivalent to Krum competing with them in speed.")

"The surgery is over."

The Da Shen didn't seem to have done anything.

But once the car was in his hands, it seemed to turn into a toy car.

The hood can be opened, and the motor inside can be removed.

He appears to have only replaced the motor and reinstalled the body shell.
