Chapter 161

Suddenly, Wen Jing's entire mental sea trembled violently.

All the light and energy seemed to be instantly drained away, converging at a single point, and then a tiny 'star' radiating a stable light condensed and was born at the location of the crystal.

[Gained Trait: Glazed Mental Body]

[Master ' Star Core Meditation Method ', Skill Points +200]

The condensed star core is slowly rotating, stabilizing the entire sea of consciousness, and making the flow of all spiritual energy orderly and efficient.

Wen Jing even discovered the 'nest mentality' that caused her Mental Link to 'explode'.

Now, if she uses the Mental Link again, she can choose to switch between 'normal mode' and 'command mode' on her own.

Reaching this stage signifies that the foundation is in place, and in the future, the star core will, like a planet, capture matter from the spiritual void and gradually grow stronger.

"It's a success..."

As soon Wen Jing opened her eyes, she saw Dean Fu looking at her with a complicated expression.

She immediately expressed her sincere gratitude. "Dean Fu, thank you so much for your kindness."

The growth of the spiritual body is much slower than the growth of the physical body.

After his Consciousness Diversion, Wen Jing managed to recover his physical health by eating the giant lizard, but the damage to his spirit remained unrepaired.

Dean Fu's gift was not only a new secret technique for spiritual power, but more importantly, the crystal directly transformed her spiritual power, granting her a new characteristic belonging to a spiritual body.

At this moment, Wen Jing remembered that this new characteristic was one of the terms she had seen on the two deans when she used Tactical Glasses to spy on them.

Dean Fu stared at Wen Jing for a moment, then finally nodded.

Giving it to you wouldn't be a waste; just focus on its cultivation.

After saying that, his figure faded away and disappeared from the quiet room.

Wen Jing was just marveling at Dean Fu's cold exterior but warm heart when a communication interrupted her thoughts.

Of course, she didn't set notifications for every call; only for a few important people.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find it was from Dean Bai had just left yesterday.

"Teacher... uh, mentor?"

Not only Dean Bai, but also Xie Ming was standing opposite them. Both of them were wearing formal academic robes and looked like they were on their way to some meeting or event.

"Is there something you need?" Wen Jing, puzzled as to why she would take the time to call at this hour.

Dean Bai, through the holographic communication, furtively looked around at her. "Has Dean Fu left?"

Wen Jing couldn't help but chuckle, "He's already left."

Upon hearing this, Dean Bai's eyes lit up with gossip. "What did he give you?"

Although Xie Ming didn't ask directly, he subtly tilted his ear slightly.

I never imagined the teacher would call specifically for something like this, but if it were her... well, she'd be a little curious too.

Wen Jing explained the meditation method and crystals to her in detail.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The two people on the other end gasped in unison upon hearing this.

This sudden reaction seemed to attract the attention of others nearby, but Dean Bai glanced around and the onlookers seemed to withdraw their gazes.

"Fu Yuan is really generous this time..." She stroked her chin and clicked her tongue in amazement. "He actually gave away the Glazed Seed."

Xie Ming, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. "Yes, I didn't expect that if he had officially accepted Wen Jing as a student back then, the treatment wouldn't have been much better."

Wen Jing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Is the Glazed Seed very precious?"

"Yes, it's almost like a high-grade Wilderness Weapon. It's something that diminishes with each use, and not every one of his official students has one." Dean Bai nodded, then said, "But since he's willing to give it to you, it means he thinks highly of you. You don't need to feel guilty; just use it well."

"Yes," Wen Jing replied earnestly.

After ending the communication, she did not leave, but sat down in the quiet room and began her cultivation once again.

Because, in fact, when the star core was first condensed, Wen Jing discovered that... Dean Fu's gift might be more than just that to her.

Wen Jing entered into meditation. At this moment, in her spiritual sea of consciousness, she saw a star core slowly rotating.

However, a strange sense of emptiness also came from the 'other side' of consciousness.

That was... her other consciousness.

The Glazed Seed has a mysterious effect of enhancing the quality of consciousness; its effect on others, and even on Dean Fu, is estimated to be 'unique'.

Because under normal circumstances, each person has only one consciousness.

So-called dual personality disorder is just a mental illness. In the realm of mental power, it is essentially still a single consciousness, albeit a chaotic one.

Wen Jing is different; she possesses a true dual-parallel consciousness on a physical level.

This means that she might be able to try to condense a second star core!

Once this thought takes hold, it can never be stopped.

The key to the collapse and condensation of the stellar core lies in the authority of consciousness, not in whether the mental space is sufficient—a person's mental strength is infinite, so theoretically, the mental space is also infinite.

"Give it a try..."

Wen Jing thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

After calculating various contingency plans, she carefully guided her mental energy, mimicking the process of condensing the first star core, and began the second 'gravitational collapse' on the other side of her sea of consciousness.

The whole process went much smoothly, much to Wen Jing's surprise.

With the experience gained the first time, the second time went smoothly.

Gradually, a second new star silently lit up in Wen Jing's spiritual sea of consciousness.

In that instant, Wen Jing's mental world trembled, and a large amount of gray mist receded, its range significantly expanding.

Moreover, the two star cores also interacted.

They gaze at each other, their emanating Gravitational Field intertwining and balancing each other, seemingly forming a miniature binary system, slowly rotating and moving along an esoteric trajectory.

Instead of becoming chaotic due to the birth of the second star core, her spiritual sea of consciousness became more stable, filled with a unique dynamism and vitality.

Everything calmed down.

Wen Jing withdrew from his inner vision, slowly opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in them.

"So, it can be done like this..."

When she condensed her first star core, her spiritual body's attack, defense, and growth speed all received a comprehensive boost, a qualitative change compared to the past.

Now a second star core has been formed, and it has grown twice as large as that!

Unexpectedly, the "Star Core Meditation Method" given by Dean Fu and the dual consciousness could bring about such a chemical reaction.

More importantly, Wen Jing is currently accumulating Skill Points to upgrade her Consciousness Diversion ability. She currently possesses dual consciousness, but in the future, it won't be limited to this—triple, quadruple, countless layers...

At that time, perhaps it should no longer be called 'Star Core', but rather 'Star Sea'.

Chapter 161

In the days that followed, Wen Jing officially began his life as an exchange student at the Mystic Radiance Academy.

What greeted her first was...

"Why is it a love letter? Is this some new form of challenge letter from the Mystic Radiance people?"

After her smart terminal connected to the Mystic Radiance Network, a flood of messages arrived in her inbox.

Although Wen Jing Jing's information security level has been raised, in the Mystic Radiance Academy, a place teeming with Celestial Dragons, messages from fellow students can still be sent in after she uses her privileges and pays a fee; they're just ranked below the importance level she sets herself.

Among these messages, besides the challenge letters, there were surprisingly many love letters, as well as letters that combined both challenges and declarations of love.

"It's a love letter! There are tons of people confessing their love to you on the confession wall at the Mystic Radiance Academy!"

The group of people from Ocher Soil in the activity area immediately gathered around, looking rather gossipy.

Unlike Azure Jade, Wen Jing wasn't given a hard time upon arriving in Mystic Radiance. As a result, she wasn't allowed to stay in one of the top ten villas in her grade. Instead, she stayed in the dormitory area arranged by Mystic Radiance along with the others from Ocher Soil.

Of course, Mystic Radiance is a vast and sparsely populated place with high-quality basic amenities. Each exchange student is assigned a large suite, and the biggest and best suite is chosen first by the Wen Jing.

Wen Jing glanced at the students' bright eyes and waved her hand confidently. "After all, I'm both strong and beautiful, so it's normal."

Everyone: "... Indeed."

"But why didn't anyone confess their feelings to me in Ocher Soil or Azure Jade?" Wen Jing asked, stroking his chin in confusion.

Surely it shouldn't be that people from the Mystic Radiance Academy have better character?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ocher Soil blurted out in unison, "Who dares!"

Wen Jing: "Huh?"

They exchanged glances and unanimously exclaimed, "That's right, it's something we wouldn't even dare to imagine..."

When someone is so far away that you can only look up to them, even if someone has feelings for them, they won't dare to confess.

No one in Ocher Soil had the guts to do it, and at that time, Wen Jing was considered Azure Jade's number one enemy... so no one dared to risk offending Wen Jing by showing him any goodwill.

The situation was different in Mystic Radiance.

The newly introduced merit system has already been implemented in the three academies. Although this system has a greater impact on faculty positions, it has added performance evaluation to the original academy rankings.

For students still in the academy, the only way to gain valuable achievements at this stage is to hunt powerful Wilderness Beast and adventure to obtain high-level rare treasures in the Ancient Wilderness.

The Wen Jing is different.

Her latest publicly disclosed achievement in her current merit evaluation is that she returned unscathed after being surrounded and attacked by three imperial assassins.

Evaluations from the enemy are often the most valuable, arguably even higher than those from official league matches.

At least a competition is meant to determine a winner, but an assassination is truly a matter of life and death.

Some well-informed people even heard that Wen Jing killed two assassins on the spot, but this news was too shocking and without solid evidence, many people were skeptical.
