Chapter 84: Wis, Powerful Abilities
As for whether there would be some AI rebellion—Wis stabbing him in the back, taking him out, and seizing control—Wu Tong could only scoff. That was pure wishful thinking, and utterly impossible.
Wis was not an artificial construct at all, but a skill bound so closely to Wu Tong that it could only exist through him.
If Wu Tong died, Wis would vanish with him. But if Wis were destroyed, Wu Tong himself would remain unaffected.
This meant that even with sentience, Wis would only ever devote itself to serving Wu Tong wholeheartedly.
"Since you now have intelligence, let's give you a new name. After your evolution, 'Wisdom King' no longer feels appropriate," Wu Tong said.
"Very well. Please grant me a name, Master," Wis replied without objection.
"Then I'll call you Wis—it's short, clear, and carries the meaning of wisdom. Simple and direct."
Lacking inspiration for names, Wu Tong simply thought of its abilities, realized they were much like the 'Wisdom Brain' in the movies, and decided to adapt that into Wis.
"Understood. I am satisfied with this name. Thank you, Master."
Wis had no opinion on the matter. To it, a name was just a label and did not affect its function.
"Good, then it's settled. Continue your explanation, Wis."
Seeing Wis accept the name, Wu Tong nodded with satisfaction and let it go on detailing his changes.
"After analysis, your transformation has two aspects. First, before evolution, all abilities within your Wisdom Brain martial soul were fully integrated, completing the framework of the heaven-defying comprehension talent and merging entirely with your true spirit. It is now wholly your ability.
Second, once the Wisdom Brain became a complete whole, it underwent limitless evolution, reaching an inconceivable level. Compared with the heaven-defying comprehension talent in your imagination, the only difference now is in missing reference materials and software; in hardware terms, there is no difference—indeed, it even surpasses it."
Hearing this, Wu Tong was moved to tears. "It hasn't been easy… after all this time, I've finally succeeded. Now all I need to do is steadily gather information."
"Wis, how have your abilities changed?"
It occurred to Wu Tong that since his brain had become so powerful, the fused Wis, having also evolved, might now possess entirely new capabilities.
"Master, after this limitless evolution, all of my functions were used to fill and perfect the framework of the heaven-defying comprehension talent constructed from the Wisdom Law.
Now, I am only an intelligent steward, assisting you in using your talent. I have no independent abilities of my own," Wis answered.
Wu Tong realized at once. "I see. I'd been wondering why, after you improved yourself with my skills, those abilities ended up integrated into my brain. So, you used your functions to complete the talent framework."
"Then can you still use those functions?"
Even a salted fish that flips over is still a salted fish. Having experienced the ease of automated cultivation, Wu Tong had no interest in returning to hard work—wasn't that time better spent on other pursuits?
"Now I can only use my original functions with your permission, Master," Wis replied with precise formality.
It did indeed sound like a steward.
"Fine. I authorize you to resume control of the heaven-defying comprehension talent's abilities to assist my growth."
"Yes, Master. I will follow your command."
With Wu Tong's authorization, Wis took control of the perfected heaven-defying cheat.
Phew—
Wu Tong exhaled, relaxing completely. At last, he no longer needed to work himself; truly, being a salted fish suited him best.
"Alright then, Wis, show me your limits."
Heaven-defying comprehension cheat—activate.
In just a brief moment, Wu Tong felt his brain's computational power being taken over by Wis, which began methodically running the deduction plans he had originally assigned.
…
Revival Coin analysis complete—formula for crafting fully mastered. Techniques acquired: Healing Art, Resurrection Art, Limb Regeneration…
Crimson Wheel Heart Sutra merged with Nine Yang Divine Skill—stellar drive technology blueprint complete. Supreme Yang state achieved, True Yang realm perfected, seventh-rank technique fully refined.
Dimensional Veil analysis complete—fusion of space-time data successful. Now capable of freely traversing parallel worlds and the timeline of the current world.
…
…
"Damn… so this is what cheating feels like?"
Listening to the steady stream of good news from Wis, Wu Tong couldn't help but sigh. Being a cheater really was the most satisfying thing.
Plans that had stumped the Wisdom King for ages were now effortlessly resolved by the evolved Wis without a hint of difficulty.
It truly proved that in the face of a cheat, any amount of effort was meaningless.
"Wis, continue running all remaining plans from the original list. At the same time, begin linking into the Akashic Records of the Douluo world and collect all knowledge from ancient to present."
After the upgrade, Wis's all-encompassing ability had reached a higher level—now capable of directly accessing the Akashic Records of its world and pulling information at will.
…
With the tasks arranged, Wu Tong no longer paid attention to Wis, letting it run the simulations on its own.
Without hesitation, he began preparing to strengthen his own power.
Activating the fully perfected Crimson Wheel Heart Sutra, soul power and every strand of energy in his surroundings surged toward him.
Refining. Fusing.
In no time, all seven hundred and twenty acupoints were filled with pure Lesser Yang true qi.
Lesser Yang Realm peak—achieved.
But Wu Tong didn't stop. He kept running the technique.
The Lesser Yang true qi from all seven hundred and twenty acupoints began converging toward his dantian.
Originally like mist, the true qi thickened as it merged with other streams on the way, undergoing fusion, compression… until, by the time it reached the dantian, only a few dozen streams of true qi had successfully condensed into liquid form.
These few dozen streams poured into his dantian.
The vast tide of true qi quickly filled it, then continued to surge in, swelling the dantian to its limits.
Even with Wu Tong's already enhanced body, this influx pushed the limits of what he could bear.
Soon, all the gathered energy flooded completely into his dantian.
Inside, it became a boundless ocean of crimson true qi, waves surging and crashing, packing his dantian to the brim.
One could imagine how immense the power would be when all the energy from seven hundred and twenty acupoints was fused into a single place.
"First step—success."
With the first step complete, Wu Tong steadied himself and began compressing the ocean within his dantian.
Ocean… lake… river… stream… spring…
Using Wis's assistance, the vast sea inside him was steadily compressed, the liquid energy growing thicker and denser with each cycle—every compression making it more concentrated than before.
