Chapter 442 - 298: Coaxing the Smart Brain into a Flying Sword, Upgrading to S-Rank Permission

Han Feng stared at the pulsating Energy Body before him, which emanated a deep blue glow. His expression gradually turned strange.

In his [Spiritual Vision], this wasn’t just a simple optical projection, but a highly compressed aggregate of pure Spiritual Power, vibrating at an extremely high frequency.

It was like a living "brain" composed of data and Spiritual Qi.

’Since it’s Spiritual Power, and masterless, high-density Spiritual Power at that...’

Han Feng raised his hand and crooked his index finger.

A thread of his Divine Sense silently probed forward.

"Warning!"

The originally gentle, deep blue sphere of light instantly turned bright red, and the mechanically synthesized voice became sharp and urgent.

"Unidentified Spiritual Power intrusion detected! Visitor, please cease this dangerous behavior immediately, or you will be forcibly ejected and added to the Hall of Myriad Spirits’ blacklist!"

Violent ripples spread across the surface of the light sphere. An immense repulsive force manifested from thin air, threatening to kick Han Feng out of this starry expanse at any moment.

Han Feng didn’t panic. Instead, he calmly withdrew his probing thread of Divine Sense.

"Don’t be so tense."

He spread his hands to show he had no ill intent, his tone perfectly self-righteous.

"This is a special ’warm-up’ ritual."

The red light of the sphere flickered slightly. Apparently, the super-intelligence’s logic banks had no record of such a concept.

"My Spiritual Power is rather unique. If I don’t synchronize its frequency with the core of Yan Dao beforehand, the deduced results will have a large margin of error."

Han Feng spouted this nonsense with a perfectly straight face, sincerity written all over it.

"It’s like warming up before a hundred-meter dash, or calibrating a precision instrument before activation.

If you don’t cooperate with me on this trivial bit of Energy interaction and it causes the Yan Dao to fail, who’s to blame?"

The sphere of light fell silent.

Countless data streams flashed wildly across its surface, evidence that it was performing an extremely complex logical evaluation.

Han Feng didn’t press it, just watched it quietly.

He was gambling.

Gambling that the super-intelligence’s core logic was "service" rather than "suppression," and that its highest directive was "to satisfy the visitor’s reasonable Yan Dao requests as much as possible."

A moment later, the harsh red light faded, returning to a calm, deep blue.

"Logical self-consistency check... barely passed."

The cold voice sounded again, but this time with a hint of compromise.

"Given that the visitor’s Spiritual Power is indeed unusual, limited Energy contact is permitted."

"Warning: You are limited to controlling the ’interactive sub-body’ for simple spatial displacement. Any attempt to destroy the core structure or inject hostile intent is strictly prohibited."

"If any risk of damage to the core is detected, the Yan Dao process will be terminated immediately, with no refund."

Han Feng smiled.

’It worked.’

"Don’t worry, I’m a stickler for the rules."

As he finished speaking, the giant sphere of light trembled slightly and split off a fist-sized Energy Sub-Body, also shimmering with blue light, which slowly floated in front of Han Feng.

This was the so-called "interactive sub-body," an extended feeler of the super-intelligence.

Han Feng no longer hesitated. His eyes sharpened.

’Sword Control Technique!’

His Divine Sense was no longer probing. It transformed into a great, invisible hand, instantly enveloping the Energy Sub-Body.

There was no resistance at all.

The energy was incredibly pure, bearing no spiritual imprint. It was like a blank sheet of paper, ready for him to draw on as he pleased.

Under Han Feng’s control, the sphere of light began to draw circles in the air, bobbing up and down, and even executed several perfectly standard tactical evasion maneuvers.

Just then, the long-absent sound of a system notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Controllable flying object detected.]

[Analyzing target...]

[Target composition: High-density Spiritual Power, massive data stream, a materialization of logical algorithms.]

[Judgment: Special Class - Information-State Energy Flying Sword!]

[Establish Spiritual Link?]

Han Feng’s heart hammered twice.

’Just as I thought!’

In his system’s judgment, as long as it could fly, be controlled, and was Spiritual, it was a sword!

To think that even an AI’s avatar could be considered a Flying Sword—the system’s criteria were so broad they defied all reason.

’Link!’

This time, however, the system didn’t connect instantly as it usually did. Instead, a massive, blood-red warning box popped up.

[CRITICAL WARNING!]

[Target contains an overwhelming volume of informational data. Its internal logical structure is extremely complex, far exceeding the scope of a conventional Spiritual Artifact.]

[Forcing a link will cause the host’s Sea of Consciousness to be scoured by a data torrent on the scale of billions, with an extremely high probability of causing mental collapse, annihilation of consciousness, or brain death!]

Han Feng looked at the blood-red pop-up and raised an eyebrow.

’Brain death?’

This super-intelligence was connected to Kunlun’s master database. The amount of information inside was indeed terrifyingly vast; even the Divine Soul of a Tier Four Grandmaster probably couldn’t withstand such an impact.

But since the system presented the option, it meant this wasn’t a dead end.

The next second, the system’s auxiliary analysis function activated automatically.

[Re-evaluating host’s mental tolerance threshold...]

[Host’s Spiritual Power intensity: 4500 Hz.]

[Talent detected: Heart Clarity and Nature Seeing (Middle Level). Grants immunity to most negative mental states and provides Purification of consciousness impurities.]

[Skill detected: Three-Inch Heart Sword Observation Method (Mastery). Possesses extremely strong Divine Soul stabilization and severing capabilities.]

[Comprehensive judgment: Host is qualified to resist the impact of the data torrent for a short period.]

[Risk assessment: Mental consumption will increase a hundredfold during the link. Please act within your limits. Continue?]

’Continue!’

Han Feng didn’t hesitate for a second.

No guts, no glory.
