As soon as Guan Yue entered the room, he was met with a very strange sight. There was only one passage, and he could only move forward along this path. There were no choices to be made.
This was a very dimly lit passage, growing darker the deeper he went. Gradually, the ground became uneven, and the light continued to fade. Eventually, he could only crawl along the ground to advance.
After about half an hour, he finally reached an exit, where three options presented themselves: a path of life, a path of death, and a path of hardship. Guan Yue immediately chose the path of death. Following this route led him to the gaping mouth of a giant beast; he could either move forward into the beast's interior or give up!
Guan Yue knew there was no turning back. Moreover, the giant beast had not yet activated; perhaps as soon as he entered, it would spring to life and deliver a fatal blow.
He cautiously stepped into the beast's mouth. After taking three steps inside, there was still no reaction from the beast. He took two more steps forward, and the beast remained unresponsive. Just as Guan Yue was puzzling over where this formation was leading him, suddenly his footing gave way, and smooth walls surrounded him. He could only slide down a suddenly appearing chute.
At that moment, a Fire Phoenix engulfed in blazing red flames appeared before Guan Yue!
This Fire Phoenix was enormous, radiating immense energy fluctuations; its cultivation level was at least above the Peak of the Human Realm. For Guan Yue at that moment, it could easily crush him!
Guan Yue felt as if he were suffocating.
He was simultaneously overwhelmed by the powerful pressure from the Fire Phoenix itself, the intense heat scorching him, and the impact of the Fire Phoenix's Vital Energy Fluctuation filling that confined space.
In just a short while, all of Guan Yue's clothes had been scorched into crisp fragments; even the slightest movement caused pieces to fall away. Even more terrifying was that Guan Yue could not breathe normally; every breath brought in waves of heat that made his insides feel extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, the powerful Origin Energy surged against every part of his body.
The longer he stayed there, the closer Guan Yue came to death.
Even more frightening was that the Fire Phoenix was watching him intently. Guan Yue found himself in a situation where surrender seemed to be his only option. However, Guan Yue was unwilling to accept defeat. He wanted to fight for victory!
He took out the dart he had been carrying with him and focused on dealing with the Fire Phoenix, while simultaneously using the Nine Pulse Will to combat the harsh environment.
Of course, as soon as the dart was thrown, it aimed directly at the Fire Phoenix's eyes. After being launched, Guan Yue's dart flew toward the Fire Phoenix at an incredible speed. The Fire Phoenix was completely unprepared; all it heard was a clang when the dart struck its eye, as if it had hit a piece of steel, causing the dart to fall to the ground.
Guan Yue felt a surge of panic. What could he do next to deal with the Fire Phoenix? He filtered through all the knowledge he possessed, but found nothing! In the face of such overwhelming power, only strength could solve the problem.
Guan Yue had no choice but to focus on this Fire Phoenix and search for its weakness. He refused to believe that the Fire Phoenix had no weaknesses.
He noticed that this Fire Phoenix had not attacked; it merely glared at him with fury, its body emanating a turbulent Vital Energy Fluctuation, using sheer pressure to suppress him. At that moment, Guan Yue realized his own foolishness.
This was merely an illusory Fire Phoenix. If it were a real Fire Phoenix, its pressure would have sent him into a state of terror. But how could his previous attack on its eye have been so solid?
Guan Yue attempted to attack the Fire Phoenix with his mind, and indeed received a strong counterattack from it, causing great turbulence in his thoughts.
At that moment, Guan Yue smiled. He had been searching for a suitable training method for his Mental Strength given his situation, and now this Fire Phoenix turned out to be perfect for enhancing his Mental Strength.
Thus, Guan Yue disregarded everything else and engaged in a trial of Mental Strength attacks and defenses against the Fire Phoenix for three full hours, completely immersing himself in this endeavor and ignoring the harsh environment around him.
Guan Yue felt a significant improvement in his Mental Strength.
During the intense focus on Mental Attack and defense, Guan Yue completely overlooked the environmental effects on him.
When time was up, Guan Yue was forcibly sent out of the third level. He was overjoyed and planned to return tomorrow!
On the way home, Gao Yuxin spoke, "Brother Guan, I am very happy that you have successfully opened the third level of our relationship." As Guan Yue entered the room, he was greeted by a very strange sight. There was only one passageway, and he could only move forward along it. There were no choices.
This was a very dim passage; the deeper he went, the darker it became. Gradually, the path started to become uneven, and the light grew fainter. Eventually, he could only crawl on the ground to proceed.
After about half an hour, he finally reached an exit, where three choices appeared: a path of life, a path of death, and a path of hardship. Guan Yue immediately chose the path of death. Following this route led him to the mouth of a giant beast; he could either move forward into the beast's interior or give up!
Guan Yue knew there was no turning back. Moreover, the giant beast had not yet activated; perhaps as soon as he entered, it would spring to life and deliver a fatal blow.
He cautiously stepped into the beast's mouth. After taking three steps inside, there was still no reaction from the beast. He took two more steps forward, and still no response. Just as Guan Yue was wondering where this formation was leading him, suddenly his footing gave way, and all around him turned into smooth walls, forcing him down a newly appeared slide.
At that moment, a Fire Phoenix engulfed in blazing red flames appeared before Guan Yue!
Guan Yue realized that such a long passage and protective mechanism indicated just how powerful this Fire Phoenix was. Everything that had happened earlier was to prevent the flames from surging out.
The Fire Phoenix was enormous and radiated immense energy fluctuations; its cultivation level was at least above the Peak of the Human Realm, capable of easily crushing Guan Yue at that moment!
Guan Yue felt as if he were suffocating.
He was simultaneously subjected to the overwhelming pressure from the Fire Phoenix itself, the intense heat scorching him, and the impact of the Fire Phoenix's Vital Energy Fluctuation filling that small space.
In just a short while, all of Guan Yue's clothes had been scorched into crisp fragments; any slight movement caused pieces to fall beneath him. Even more terrifying was that Guan Yue could not breathe normally because what he inhaled were waves of heat that made his internal organs feel extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, the powerful Origin Energy impacted every part of his body.
The longer he stayed there, the closer Guan Yue came to death.
Even more terrifying was that the Fire Phoenix was still watching Guan Yue with a predatory gaze, leaving Guan Yue in a position where he could only concede defeat. However, Guan Yue was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to fight for victory!
He focused on dealing with the Fire Phoenix while using the Nine Pulse Will to combat the harsh environment.
Then he took out a dart that he had been carrying with him. Of course, the dart was aimed directly at the Fire Phoenix's eyes. Once thrown, Guan Yue's dart flew toward the Fire Phoenix at an incredible speed. The Fire Phoenix did not even need to defend itself; it merely heard a clang as the dart struck its eye, feeling as if it had hit a block of steel, causing the dart to fall to the ground!
Guan Yue felt a surge of panic. What could he do next against the Fire Phoenix? He filtered through all the knowledge he possessed, but found nothing! In the face of overwhelming power, only strength could solve the problem.
Guan Yue had no choice but to focus on this Fire Phoenix and search for its weaknesses. He refused to believe that the Fire Phoenix had no weaknesses.
He noticed that this Fire Phoenix had not attacked; it merely glared at him, its body radiating a surging Vital Energy Fluctuation, using its oppressive aura to suppress him. At that moment, Guan Yue realized his own foolishness.
This was merely an illusory Fire Phoenix. If it were a real Fire Phoenix, its oppressive aura would have sent him into a state of panic. But how could his earlier attack on its eye have been so solid?
Guan Yue tried to attack the Fire Phoenix with his mind and was met with a powerful counterattack that caused great turbulence in his consciousness.
It was then that Guan Yue smiled. He had been searching for a suitable training method for his Mental Strength, and now this Fire Phoenix turned out to be the perfect target for strengthening his Mental Strength.
Thus, Guan Yue disregarded everything else and stood there almost bare, engaging in a trial of Mental Strength attacks and defenses against the Fire Phoenix for three full hours, completely immersing himself in this endeavor while ignoring the harsh environment.
Guan Yue felt a significant improvement in his Mental Strength.
When time was up, Guan Yue was forcibly sent out of the third level. He was filled with joy and planned to return tomorrow!
On the way home, Gao Yuxin spoke up: "Brother Guan, I am very happy that you have successfully unlocked the third level of our relationship. Next, if you continue to grow, you will be able to officially activate my application features."
Guan Yue was curious: "I only know that my first level of relationship with you is flesh and blood connection, the second level is mutual understanding, what is the third level?"
"The third level is mutual affection, which means I can become your concubine in the future. If you consider making me your wife, I wouldn't oppose it," Gao Yuxin said with a voice as clear as silver bells, sounding carefree. However, to Guan Yue's ears, it felt very strange: What’s going on? The Supreme Intelligence can actually be my concubine? Is there a mistake in the programming? This is too unreliable! A rigid Supreme Intelligence without emotions and physicality is even less appealing than a soft and cuddly pleasure doll!
Guan Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Haven't activated your application features yet?" He truly felt disappointed; having a powerful Supreme Intelligence but not being able to utilize it until now felt like a failure.
"Hehe, that's how the program was designed. I can't help it. It's said that this is to protect you. Otherwise, if you have too many functions while being weak yourself, you'd be afraid of being eliminated by others too soon," Gao Yuxin's voice remained cheerful, but it made Guan Yue furious. Eliminated by others too soon? You’re just as finished!
"So what functions do you have?" Guan Yue thought for a moment and managed to suppress his anger while asking Gao Yuxin.
Gao Yuxin pondered and hesitantly replied: "I currently possess the general functions of the Supreme Intelligence. For example, calculations, testing, observation, basic protection, and so on. You can only master the Universal Language System, substance x-ray system, weapon identification system, and internal and external vision system after activating the first-level start. Once you activate the first-level start, I will then know about the content of the second-level start."
"What are the conditions for activating the first level?" This was what Guan Yue was most concerned about at the moment.
"Brother Guan, your relationship with me is a process of conquest. The so-called flesh and blood connection, mutual understanding, and mutual affection are all determined by your conquest completion rate over me. This is called the conquest rate. When the conquest rate reaches thirty-one percent, we have a flesh and blood connection; at fifty-one percent, we have mutual understanding; at sixty-one percent, we have mutual affection. When the conquest rate reaches seventy-one percent, you can activate the first-level start." This time Gao Yuxin was speaking seriously without any laughter.
"Conquest rate? Is it about conquering you or the residual Willpower of your components?"
"Of course it refers to the conquest rate of the residual Willpower in my components."
"What is it now?"
“Sixty-Two.”
“We're still ten points away from Seventy-One. It should be soon.”
“Over there, it gets harder as you go further. Even a little progress is very difficult.”
“I've heard of the Universal Language System. What does substance perspective mean?” Guan Yue asked.
Gao Yuxin replied seriously, “As long as it's not a hybrid or an alloy, you can see what's inside the material, like cracks in weapons.”
Guan Yue understood; this system was quite useful. “So the internal vision system allows you to see the condition inside your own body?”
“Yes. I have good news for you; the Peak Fire Sprite has been completely tamed, and now you can summon it anytime to serve you.”
“Oh, what can it do?” Guan Yue was genuinely happy.
“It can be used for alchemy, to deal with cold and heat, to attack, and much more.”
“It can be used for alchemy? Didn't you say it couldn't?”
“The Peak Fire Sprite is difficult to control, but with my help, it's no problem!” Gao Yuxin's voice was full of confidence.
Along the way, many classmates greeted Guan Yue. Everyone had heard that Guan Yue was already a prospective Inner Courtyard disciple; as long as he was willing, he could become an Inner Courtyard disciple at any time. So everyone was very polite to him, and many girls were making eyes at him, hoping Guan Yue would notice their charm. Even the girls who had previously mocked Guan Yue were now throwing flirtatious glances his way, expressing their affection.
This left some boys feeling quite uneasy. How could such a small boy as Guan Yue cause such a stir? It was truly baffling. Not to mention the boys who had previously been enemies with Guan Yue, their hearts were filled with anger, resenting the unfairness of the world and the state of society!
Guan Yue chatted with Gao Yuxin while greeting enthusiastic classmates. A pair of sisters approached, both looking very similar and quite charming, dressed in a style that Guan Yue adored—simple and elegant. They walked directly up to Guan Yue, their faces beaming with smiles.
"Master Guan, could you help us out?" one of the girls asked, staring intently at Guan Yue's face, while the other smiled without saying a word.
"What is it?" A smile appeared on Guan Yue's face because he liked such innocent girls.
"Oh, I'm Huangfu Jiayin, and this is my sister Huangfu Jiayun. We came to invite you to our dormitory. Is that okay?" The younger sister was clearly more lively than her older sister.
"Is there something you need?" Guan Yue was puzzled; he didn't seem to know these two girls.
"Master Guan, it's like this. We are Literary Context Practitioners. Illusory Array is a required course for us. However, there are many questions we don't understand. Our dorm mates want to ask you for help; they bet that you wouldn't come, but we believe that as our senior and someone so accomplished in Illusory Array, you wouldn't just leave us hanging. We’ve been waiting here for you, hoping for your gracious presence. Please do come!" Huangfu Jiayin chattered on, leaving Guan Yue a bit dazed. He had no choice but to obediently follow the Huangfu sisters to their dormitory.
Huangfu Jiayun happily ran ahead while Huangfu Jiayin walked alongside Guan Yue, chatting away. Through their conversation, Guan Yue found himself really liking this talkative girl because she was very pure-hearted and eager to learn, determined to become an excellent Literary Context Practitioner. He enthusiastically answered some of her questions. Huangfu Jiayin had just turned 12 this year.
When they arrived at the Huangfu sisters' dormitory, a large group of girls had already gathered outside the room, all wearing expressions of surprise as they welcomed Guan Yue since he was about to become an Inner Courtyard disciple and was currently a prominent figure.
This was the Context girls' dormitory, and the onlooking girls were all Context students. Yin Jingjing's dormitory was not far from here, but she had already left for home with absolute trust in Guan Yue.
The proud expressions on the Huangfu sisters' faces seemed like they had just won a great victory. The other girls in their dorm were also very surprised that the two sisters managed to invite Guan Yue over.
