90: Chapter 90 Energy Rampage
Instructor Hera's heart felt as if it were churning with monstrous waves at this moment.
She stared fixedly at Wang Pingan's extended finger, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Projecting spirit externally was not a difficult task for high-level martial artists.
But to be able to condense externally projected spirit into such thin, refined, and almost tangible "spirit threads" was something that completely surpassed her understanding of a Fourth-Grade freshman!
What kind of immense and pure spirit would this require?
What kind of meticulous, even monstrous, control would this require?
Let alone a Fourth-Grade freshman, even she, a Sixth-Grade instructor specializing in spirit research, could absolutely not achieve such precision without the assistance of any instruments!
What kind of monster was this kid?!
Just as Instructor Hera's mind was reeling, Wang Pingan's "surgery" had already begun.
Controlling that wisp of silver spirit thread, like a top-tier surgeon with a god's-eye view, he began to carefully "cut" and "comb" through the vast and complex energy circuits inside the star map fragment.
His Eye of Truth presented the entire internal structure of the fragment in his mind as the clearest, most intuitive data stream.
Where the normal energy lines were.
Where the "necrotic tissue" had been severed and twisted by that chaotic energy flow.
And where the core region occupied by that damned "virus program" — the spirit imprint — was.
Everything was clear at a glance.
His movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Under his control, that silver spirit thread transformed into the sharpest blade, the most precise tweezers, and the most stable support.
He first carefully "excised" the energy lines that had been contaminated and completely necrotic one by one.
Then, he used his own spirit to simulate brand-new energy channels identical to the original ones, "grafting" them on.
The entire process was extremely complex and extremely dangerous.
With the slightest carelessness—if his spirit thread touched a line it shouldn't, or if there was the slightest deviation during the "grafting" process—
the result would be catastrophic.
The entire star map fragment would explode into cosmic dust on the spot due to a chain reaction of energy collapse.
And he himself would absolutely be blown to pieces by that terrifying energy explosion.
At this moment, time seemed to become incredibly slow.
Inside the repair room, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
Only the precision instruments continued to emit an imperceptible, monotonous hum.
Instructor Hera held her breath, staring at Wang Pingan without blinking.
She could feel extremely subtle yet extremely dangerous energy fluctuations continuously emanating from that small star map fragment.
She knew what a crazy and shocking thing Wang Pingan was doing!
She wanted to stop him.
But she didn't dare to.
Because she knew that this process was already irreversible.
Any external interference could lead to the worst possible outcome.
She could only watch as this freshman, who in her eyes was originally "ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth," challenged a problem that even she was helpless against in a way she couldn't understand at all.
Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out on Wang Pingan's forehead.
His complexion had also turned somewhat pale due to the intense concentration and immense consumption of his spirit.
This work was even more difficult than he had imagined.
The energy circuits inside that star map fragment were truly too complex.
Their complexity even exceeded that of any technological creation he had ever seen before.
He felt as if he were using an embroidery needle to repair a super quantum computer composed of trillions of nano-parts.
And it had to be done while it was still powered on!
"Damn, these five thousand credits aren't easy to earn."
Wang Pingan couldn't help but complain to himself.
But his hands remained steady as a rock.
His spirit thread continued to precisely weave, cut, and reorganize between those energy lines that were denser and more fragile than a spider web.
One hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Wang Pingan's complexion became increasingly pale.
He felt as if his spirit sea was about to be drained dry.
The vast Star Sea Contemplation Diagram that he had visualized had become much dimmer.
But he knew he couldn't stop.
Now was the most critical moment.
He had already cleaned up all the necrotic and contaminated energy lines.
Now only the final step remained.
Eradicating that source of all evil — the spirit imprint!
He took a deep breath and mobilized all the remaining spirit within his body.
That wisp of silver spirit thread shone brilliantly!
It was no longer as cautious as it had been before.
Instead, it transformed into a Sword of Judgment filled with an aura of determination and sharpness!
It thrust fiercely towards that "virus program" radiating a dark golden light, which was entrenched in the core of the energy circuits!
Just at the moment when Wang Pingan's spirit thread was about to touch the spirit imprint.
A sudden change occurred!
That spirit imprint, which had been quietly dormant, seemed to sense a fatal threat.
Hum—!!!
It suddenly erupted with a spirit shockwave that was more powerful and violent than any before!
Boom!
Wang Pingan's spirit sea felt as if it had been slapped at this moment!
He felt as if his head were about to be torn apart!
An indescribable, intense pain almost caused his consciousness to vanish on the spot!
"Pfft!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he stumbled back several steps.
And that star map fragment had completely lost control due to the rampage of the spirit imprint!
The chaotic energy flow inside it, which had originally been suppressed to the extreme, was like an ignited powder keg at this moment.
It erupted with a roar!
Crackle! Crackle!
Visible dark red electric arcs filled with a destructive aura erupted frantically from the surface of the fragment!
The entire energy alarm system of the repair room emitted a hysterical, piercing shriek at this moment!
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Energy index off the charts! Chain explosion imminent!"
Instructor Hera's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
It was over!
Everything was over!
Without thinking, she turned around, wanting to activate the emergency procedures of the repair room.
However, at this critical moment.
That boy, who had just been shaken back by the backlash and spat blood, let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Suppress!"
The moment the words fell.
Two brilliantly bright silver flames suddenly lit up in Wang Pingan's eyes!
In his spirit sea, which was almost drained dry, the vast Star Sea Contemplation Diagram that had already dimmed erupted against the trend at this moment!
