Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, Imperial Capital—Academy of Sciences Top-Secret Laboratory.
Though it was late at night, the underground laboratory was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt as if the air itself had frozen.
Dozens of high-precision sensors were locked onto the isolated testing area in the center of the laboratory.
Three people sat there.
Fang Ce (Tian Ce), Li Zihan (Data Maniac), and Lei Zhen (Thunder King).
All three had started as Spirit Pivot Envoys in the game. After reaching level 20, they had gone all-in on the Psionic Sequence Talent Tree and unlocked [Psionic Sequence (Second Tier)—Energy Resonance].

Finally, Li Zihan.
He produced neither light nor electricity, but the displays of a row of precision electronic instruments before him suddenly flickered wildly. The data streams showed highly regular interference patterns—an early form of mental power interfering with electronic signals.
"The samples are consistent! The
