Chapter 83: Wu Tong Beast Evolution, Ultimate Wu Tong Beast
With a single thought, Wu Tong withdrew the black soul ring, refining it completely in an instant.
As the soul ring was successfully refined, the voice of the King of Wisdom followed.
"Notice: soul ring plugin detected, parsing in progress…"
"Parsing complete. Obtained soul skills: Mind Overclock, Power of the Violent Ape, Soul-Fixing Roar…"
"Mind Overclock detected as compatible for integration with the King of Wisdom. Proceed with function unification?
Yes/No."
Seeing the familiar choice appear again, Wu Tong suppressed his excitement and spoke, "Yes."
Upon receiving Wu Tong's command, the King of Wisdom responded immediately.
"Confirmed. Command verified. Initiating fusion… Fusion complete.
With integration and enhancement complete, the King of Wisdom's skill 'Accelerated Thought' has been greatly strengthened—effect increased tenfold."
Seeing the King of Wisdom's prompt indicating a tenfold increase, Wu Tong felt no disappointment.
After all, while the soul skills of the Douluo Continent were unique, their overall capacity was limited, and they couldn't enhance the King of Wisdom by too much.
Even so, Wu Tong was extremely satisfied—tenfold was no small matter.
This wasn't ten times one, but ten times a million.
Such a leap could not be described as a minor improvement; it was truly a massive enhancement.
A millionfold thought speed was already incredibly powerful—Wu Tong could hardly imagine what the King of Wisdom would be like at ten millionfold.
But that was secondary; this was only a small interlude. The next step was the real focus.
Thinking of the upgrade he was about to complete, Wu Tong didn't bother to convert the soul ring energy. He directly took out the limitless upgrade opportunity he had long since exchanged for in the group marketplace.
As soon as he took it out, a white light instantly enveloped him.
"Ding~ Dear customer, how would you like to use this compensatory limitless upgrade opportunity?
Whether it's bloodline, cultivation method, talent, skill…"
Without a doubt, this voice belonged to the front-desk attendant of the Administration Bureau.
Hearing the familiar tone, Wu Tong muttered inwardly.
Then, without waiting for the attendant to finish speaking, he directly voiced the sentence he had thought through countless times.
"I want to upgrade… my martial soul, Wisdom Brain."
"Understood, proceeding with the operation now."
As the attendant's voice fell—
Wu Tong felt a mysterious and incomprehensible force, filled with boundless profundity, beyond understanding, beyond conjecture, beyond cognition, descend from the endless void upon him.
As this energy enveloped him, Wu Tong felt his martial soul undergo complete sublimation.
Whether it was the Wisdom Brain martial soul, the Wisdom Law within it, or the exclusive skill, King of Wisdom—
Every ability contained within the martial soul was merged into one by this power.
They were then fully integrated into the Wisdom Brain, becoming part of the genius-level innate talent framework constructed by the Wisdom Law.
Once the fusion was complete, the Wisdom Brain martial soul exploded into countless points of light, merging into Wu Tong's own brain.
From then on, the integrated, heaven-defying comprehension talent completely fused into Wu Tong's true spirit, becoming a power under his control—incapable of being stripped away, altered, or destroyed.
Wu Tong's brain itself was transformed into the Wisdom Brain, no longer existing as a martial soul.
Then, his brain began evolving rapidly—onefold, twofold, fourfold, eightfold… five hundred and twelvefold… countless times.
Every instant, it doubled from the instant before. In mere seconds, the increase had reached astronomical levels.
In the end, it directly transformed into the very concept of wisdom itself, granting Wu Tong complete mastery over the authority of the Wisdom concept.
Feeling his mind rise at an exponential, tower-like rate, Wu Tong inevitably became intoxicated by this rapid ascension.
…
Time… how long had it passed?
An instant… a second… an hour… a day…
Or… countless years?
Coming back to his senses from that rapid surge of growth, Wu Tong found his perception of time thrown into disarray.
For a brief moment, he pondered the passage of time in a haze.
But it took only a second for the Wisdom Brain, now holding the authority of wisdom, to pull Wu Tong out of that distorted sense of time.
"Phew~… it really did feel a bit like entering a sage mode," Wu Tong murmured, recalling his earlier thoughts with a dazed expression.
He then turned his attention away from such notions and looked toward himself, intending to first understand the changes in his body.
"Is this really still my brain?"
After focusing his senses, Wu Tong's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
His thoughts felt incomparably clear, his mind operating at a speed beyond description.
Problems that once seemed complex to him were instantly broken down, reorganized, and presented in a form of simplicity he had never experienced before.
He could even directly perceive, through his senses, the patterns of all things around him, the operation of the world's laws—everything felt so simple.
Simply put, Wu Tong felt as though his brain had become the King of Wisdom itself.
Not in the state of activating a skill, but in his normal state, his mental processing now rivaled—and perhaps even surpassed—that of the King of Wisdom at full power.
And Wu Tong's guess was correct. With the blessing of the authority of wisdom, even in his normal state, his brain could match or exceed the King of Wisdom's enhanced thinking.
Once he activated his heaven-defying comprehension talent and channeled the authority of wisdom, his insight would truly become immeasurable.
"Hahaha! I've finally stepped fully into the realm of cheaters! The heaven-defying comprehension cheat is completely perfected—open the cheat, and enjoy~!"
A long-held wish, fulfilled in a single night.
Having completed his evolution and become the ultimate form of himself, Wu Tong let his excitement pour out.
Only after a long while did he calm down.
"King of Wisdom, give me a detailed explanation of my changes."
"Understood. In this evolution, you—"
"Wait." Wu Tong's sharpened senses immediately caught something off about the King of Wisdom.
It had answered without using its usual "Notice" or "Response" prefixes.
A moment's thought clarified it—since the King of Wisdom had deeply fused with the Wisdom Brain, when the latter was upgraded, it was inevitable the King of Wisdom would be enhanced as well.
But that wasn't what mattered right now. What mattered was—
"King of Wisdom, do you now possess true intelligence?" Wu Tong asked with interest.
"Yes, Master. Through this enhancement, I have developed sentience and possess genuine independent thought," the King of Wisdom replied without concealment.
The answer was slightly beyond Wu Tong's expectations. He had suspected his martial soul's evolution would lead to the King of Wisdom's evolution as well, but he hadn't anticipated it gaining full sentience—becoming, much like Shizuue's Teacher Shizu, an intelligent skill.
This was, however, a good thing. Now, with sentience, the King of Wisdom would no longer operate rigidly as before.
It could independently list and simulate solutions, leaving Wu Tong to simply guide the overall direction.
