Hu Liena: My body, it's out of control!

Level B4, Biological Laboratory.

Unlike the heated atmosphere of war mobilization outside, the only sound here was the low hum of operating instruments.

Hu Liena's consciousness slowly drifted up from a deep, dark void.

"Where... am I?"

She opened her eyes, but she didn't see the prison cell or cold torture devices she had expected.

Instead, she saw a soft, pale green light.

She was suspended in a warm liquid, her body feeling weightless, without a single sensation of restraint.

Even stranger, she felt no pain, and her spirit was better than it had ever been.

Is this a hallucination?

Hu Liena frowned; as a member of the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation, her mental power far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

She immediately attempted to summon her Martial Soul.

"Demon Fox, possess!"

Soul power flowed smoothly through her body, and the familiar power of seduction radiated from within her.

It worked!

Hu Liena felt a surge of joy; as long as her Martial Soul was still there, she had the means to resist!

However, the joy on her face froze the very next second.

Her power of seduction did not spread out silently as it usually did.

Instead...

[Warning! Unauthorized mental-side pheromone release detected!]

[Target: 'Test Subject-Hu Liena'.]

[Behavioral analysis: Attempting mental seduction attack.]

[Converting attack behavior into data stream... Conversion complete.]

[Data packet uploaded to Central Database, named 'Demon Fox Martial Soul Seduction Model V1.0'.]

A cold, emotionless electronic female voice echoed throughout the space.

Hu Liena was completely stunned.

What was this?

Data stream? Model?

How did her pride-and-joy Martial Soul ability turn into these incomprehensible terms?

"Hehehehe..."

A hoarse laugh drifted over.

Hu Liena turned her head and saw the white-haired man who had left such a deep impression on her watching her with great interest from outside the container.

It was Orochimaru.

Standing beside him was the young man who had orchestrated everything, Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng-kun, this test subject of yours is quite interesting."

Orochimaru extended his long tongue and licked his lips.

"Her Martial Soul is essentially a high-frequency, directional pheromone broadcast."

"By affecting the target organism's nervous system, it induces the brain to secrete dopamine and endorphins, thereby creating the illusion of 'seduction'."

"It is truly... a marvelous biological achievement."

Qin Feng ignored Orochimaru's exclamation and walked to the console, looking at the data model that had just been generated on the screen.

"Doctor, the structure is still too crude."

"The pheromone's directionality isn't strong enough, and the energy dissipation rate exceeds thirty percent."

"Most importantly, this kind of influence is too passive; it cannot achieve precise control."

As Qin Feng spoke, he began operating the virtual keyboard.

"However, as a first-generation model, it is barely sufficient."

"At least we have already mastered the 'on-off switch' for seduction."

Listening to their conversation from inside the container, Hu Liena felt her worldview being dismantled piece by piece.

Martial Soul...

The powerful strength bestowed upon Soul Masters by the gods...

In the eyes of these lunatics, was it really just a pile of data that could be analyzed and optimized?

"You... what have you done to me?!"

Hu Liena roared at Qin Feng through the glass.

Her voice, muffled by the transmission of the liquid, lost none of the pride and fury befitting a Saintess of Martial Soul Hall.

"It's nothing."

Qin Feng finally shifted his gaze from the screen and landed it on Hu Liena.

"I just gave you a free full-body checkup and, while I was at it, upgraded your outdated 'analog signals' to more efficient 'digital signals'."

"You should be thanking me."

"Bastard! Don't you dare try to confuse me with your flowery words!"

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage.

"I am the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall! The disciple Teacher values most! Do you think you can make me submit with these petty tricks? Keep dreaming!"

"Oh?"

Qin Feng looked at her defiant expression, his face devoid of emotion.

"It seems you still haven't grasped your situation."

"Doctor, initiate the Stress Response Test, Protocol Three."

"I would be happy to oblige, Qin Feng-kun."

Orochimaru smiled and pressed a red button on the console.

The next second.

"Ugh!"

Hu Liena's body arched violently!

An indescribable, excruciating pain surged from her nerve endings without any warning!

It was not physical damage, but a pure "virtual pain" generated by electrical signals directly stimulating the pain center of her brain!

She wanted to scream, but could not make a sound.

She wanted to struggle, but her body was pinned firmly in place by an invisible force field.

She could only remain conscious, enduring this endless torture!

In just ten seconds, Hu Liena felt as if she had walked through hell.

Her pride and her will were crushed to pieces in the face of this pure, physiological agony.

"Stop."

Qin Feng spoke indifferently.

The excruciating pain vanished.

Hu Liena hung in the nutrient solution like a dehydrated fish, gasping for air, lacking the strength to even lift a finger.

"Now, how do you feel?"

Qin Feng's voice was like a devil's whisper.

"You..."

Hu Liena tried to curse, but found that her voice was already trembling uncontrollably.

It was fear.

A fear of pain born from biological instinct.

"It seems the results are good."

Qin Feng was satisfied with the test results.

"However, punishment alone does not make for a good control system."

"A mature system must have a reward mechanism."

He turned to Orochimaru.

"Doctor, switch to Protocol Seven, 'Dopamine Overload Infusion'."

"With the greatest pleasure."

Orochimaru pressed another blue button.

This time, there was no pain.

"Mm..."

Hu Liena's body began to tremble uncontrollably, her pupils dilated in an instant, and her mind went blank!

The reserve she held as a Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and the pride she had built since childhood were as fragile as paper in the face of this unreasonable, physiological ecstasy!

She even... craved more!

"How does it feel?"

Qin Feng watched Hu Liena's face, which had flushed crimson from the extreme pleasure, his voice calm.

"This is only ten percent of the dosage."

"As long as I wish, I can keep you immersed in this pleasure forever, until your soul is completely melted away."

"No... don't..."

Hu Liena's consciousness struggled amidst the waves of pleasure; she wanted to resist, but her body betrayed her with the most honest of cravings.

She wanted it!

She wanted more!

"A very interesting phenomenon, isn't it?"

Qin Feng walked up to the container, looking into Hu Liena's hazy eyes.

"Your mouth says no, but your heart rate, your blood pressure, and the activity in your cerebral cortex are all telling me that you love it."

"Hu Liena, you need to understand one thing."

"From now on, your pleasure, your pain, and all of your emotions are no longer decided by you."

"They are my gifts."

"I can make you feel like you've fallen into hell one second, and like you've ascended to heaven the next."

Qin Feng's finger swiped lightly across the control panel.

That extreme sensation of pleasure came to an abrupt halt.

A massive sense of loss instantly swept through Hu Liena's entire body.

Subconsciously, she reached out, trying to grasp the pleasure that had just vanished, her mouth emitting a dreamlike murmur.

"...Give it to me..."

Watching her in this state, Qin Feng knew the fish had taken the bait.

"You want it?"

"Beg me."

[Ding! Detected that the target 'Hu Liena' has suffered a mental breakdown and developed a physiological dependency!]

[Ding! Within the 'Science Cult' belief system, the 'Saintess' branch has been unlocked!]

[Ding! Hu Liena's capture progress +30%! Current status: Drug dependency/Early-stage Stockholm Syndrome.]

"Qin Feng-kun."

Orochimaru, standing to the side, suddenly pointed to a data curve on the monitoring screen.

"The soul energy fluctuations of this test subject showed an unconventional resonance peak during the previous peak of pleasure."

"It seems... something is resonating with her soul."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng glanced at the fleeting, abnormal curve, but did not pay it much mind.

"It could be data noise, or perhaps a normal reaction of her Martial Soul under stress."

"Continue the observation."

He was currently more interested in how to turn this arrogant Saintess into his most loyal believer.
