Chapter 443 - 298: Fooling the Smart Brain into a Flying Sword, Upgrading to S-Rank Authority

BOOM—!

The instant he gave his confirmation, Han Feng felt as if his brain had been struck by a massive sledgehammer.

The starry sky in his vision vanished, replaced by an endless blue waterfall.

It was data.

A deluge of data.

From fragments of Ancient Martial Arts to the engine schematics for the latest Spiritual Energy Ability Battleship; from the census data of Kunlun City to the private diary of some important figure...

Countless chaotic yet immensely informative data streams flooded out from the small Energy Sub-Body, pouring frantically into his Sea of Consciousness.

Agony.

It felt as if ten thousand steel needles were churning his brain.

’Suppress!’

Han Feng gritted his teeth, roaring furiously in his mind.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Three-Inch Heart Sword forged from his Spiritual Power flared to life, emitting a clear, resonant ring.

Its light swept out.

The data streams, which had been like a ferocious flood, were instantly and cleanly sliced apart, diverted, and brought to order the moment they touched the edge of the Heart Sword.

His Heart Clarity and Nature Seeing Talent activated fully, forming an indestructible dam that kept the junk data capable of corrupting his mind firmly outside his core consciousness.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Blood streamed from Han Feng’s seven orifices and his face was a mask of savagery, but he withstood it.

He didn’t just withstand the assault; as his control over the "Informational Flying Sword" deepened, a wondrous sensation blossomed within him.

He no longer felt like a passive recipient; instead, he had become the master of this ocean of data.

What was once obscure algorithmic logic now appeared to him as the Array Patterns inside the Flying Sword.

’If it’s an Array, it can be changed!’

’And if it’s a Flying Sword, it has to obey its master!’

Han Feng’s consciousness shot through the data streams. Using the higher-dimensional perspective granted by his Spiritual Vision, he instantly locked onto the core authority node of the Energy Sub-Body.

It was a string of golden code representing the visitor level.

It currently displayed: [B Level Authority (Temporary)].

’Too low.’

With a mere thought, Han Feng’s Heart Sword slashed down without hesitation.

He wasn’t destroying it, but altering it.

He used an incredibly domineering method, forcefully twisting and reassembling the string of code.

[Modifying logic node...]

[Modification successful!]

[Current Authority: S Level (Supreme Sovereign)!]

「Outside.」

The Energy Sub-Body floating before Han Feng suddenly trembled, its color instantly shifting from deep blue to a regal violet-gold.

It was as if the entire starry sky of the Hall of Myriad Spirits was bowing to him in that moment.

Han Feng slowly opened his eyes, the faint light of data streams flashing in their depths.

He wiped the blood from his nose and grinned.

"Now, we can have a proper chat."

The once-mechanical Energy Body now emanated a human-like emotion: a mixture of awe and absolute obedience.

It no longer needed Han Feng to speak, instead asking respectfully via a direct mental link:

[Honored S Level Authority holder, the Celestial Derivation Sub-Body is at your service.]

[All computational power has been marshaled. All databases are unlocked.]

[Please issue your Yan Dao directive.]

Han Feng didn’t waste any time. This overclocked connection consumed an immense amount of Spiritual Power; even he couldn’t maintain it for long.

’I have to make this quick.’

"First task."

Han Feng quickly formulated his request in his mind.

"Pull the raw data for the *Cyan Cloud Spiritual Martial Technique·Enlightenment Chapter*."

"Using that as a base, combine it with my physical data—Innate Sword Body, Soul-Burning Sword Aura—and extrapolate an improved Cultivation Technique."

"Core requirement: You must solve the problem of the Sword Aura being too sharp and easily damaging my acupoints."

"Specific directive: Don’t try to weaken the Sword Aura’s power; that would be getting things backward. What I want is ’repair’ and ’reinforcement’."

"Find a method to quickly repair acupoint damage—one with a low barrier to entry, that uses easily obtainable resources, and has no side effects. Integrate it into the Cultivation Technique."

Han Feng laid out a long list of demands in one breath. This was the very definition of a demanding client.

With a normal B Level Authority, the AI would have probably just thrown an error and crashed.

But this was S Level.

[Directive received.]

[Accessing Kunlun Mother Medical Database... Searching for Ancient Wood Element Divine Powers... Analyzing regenerative samples from Otherworld organisms...]

The violet-gold sphere of light spun madly, its processing speed pushed to the absolute limit.

A mere ten seconds passed.

[Extrapolation complete.]

[New Cultivation Technique model generated.]

A gentle stream of information flowed into Han Feng’s mind.

Han Feng’s eyes lit up the moment he gave it a cursory glance.

This wasn’t just a modification; it was a complete reconstruction!

This new Cultivation Technique added an exceptionally ingenious step to the original Enlightenment Technique: "Seed Condensation."

It no longer forced the acupoints to bear the brunt of the Sword Aura directly. Instead, it utilized a special circulation path to condense a "Spirit Seed" at the core of each acupoint.

The Spirit Seed would normally lie dormant. However, if an acupoint was damaged or if Han Feng actively triggered it, the seed would frantically absorb "Vitality Power" from the outside world.

And what was Vitality Power?

The Demon Beast Flesh he consumed, the Potions he drank, even... the Qi Blood emanating from his enemies.

The Spirit Seed would convert this chaotic vitality into the purest Life Energy, instantly repairing the damaged walls of the acupoints.

Best of all, this thing could grow.

When the thirty-six acupoints formed a Star Ring, the thirty-six Spirit Seeds would resonate, granting their host the passive skill: [Vitality Theft].

Then, Han Feng could fight while automatically healing.

If he cultivated it to the stage of Perfection, with all three hundred and sixty Spirit Seeds activated, he could consume Energy to regenerate severed limbs—as long as his head wasn’t chopped off!
