It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

1293 Two Cores?

In the learning space, the ten instructors, who were preventing the collapse of the learning space by stationing themselves in different corners of the space, felt the space finally turning stable. When they felt the space slowly stabilizing, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, they heard Number One calling to them. They teared through the dimension’s barrier and arrived where Number One was.

Number One was in a secret room with a frown on his face. He was staring at two bright objects that were wrapped by countless bands of light with a deadpan expression.

Number Nine couldn’t hold in the worry in her heart and asked, “Number One, how’s Majesty Four’s condition?”

“Very bad,” replied Number One plainly. “I’m using all the energy available in the learning space to repair his body, but it is still not enough. Plus, there’s also a little leech that needs it as well, and we can’t just leave him be either...”

“The problem right now isn’t only Little Four and that little leech, Little Blossom.” Number Five appeared beside Number Nine with a cold expression on his face. The constant smug smile on his face was gone.

“Without the connection between Little Four and Ling Lan, it will be difficult for us to obtain any energy from Ling Lan. The energy in the learning space is limited too. Once we use it all up, Little Four and Little Blossom’s recovery period will be dragged on indefinitely.” Number Five had a look of defeat on his face. They were all top-tier individuals in their star system, but they now were stuck here with nothing they could do about it. action

“What actually happened this time?” said Number Seven frustratingly. He had been researching a legendary armor in his dimension when suddenly his entire dimension began to collapse. He immediately ran out, and before he could ask about what happened, he was tossed to a corner by Number One. They used their spiritual power to protect the foundation of the collapsing learning space. After not eating and sleeping for 10 days, they finally felt the destructive energy against the space weakening and in the end stabilizing. After it stabilized, they could finally leave, come to Number One and ask about what was happening.

“What else could it be? Majesty Four wanted to save someone, but instead got hurt by the backlash.” said Number Four in an annoyed tone.

She quickly brushed up her flustered outer appearance. She couldn’t accept appearing in front of others with a scruffy appearance. However, even so, she still felt her entire body smelled because she hadn’t showered in 10 days. Although they were the type of existence that wouldn’t be affected by something like that, she still wanted to immediately return to her own dimension and take a hot bath to get rid of the smell.

“Save who? Who was in trouble?” Number Six, Number Seven and Number Eight were all confused. Three similar confused expressions appeared on their faces, their expression incited hatred and laughter in the other instructors at the same time.

Instructors Six, Seven and Eight were all considered to be individuals who focused on their own research. They wouldn’t care about what happened in the outside world. Compared to the other instructors who would pay some attention to Ling Lan from time to time, these three would become disappointed when Ling Lan wasn’t in the learning space. They wouldn’t pay much attention to Ling Lan normally to avoid that feeling of disappointment. They didn’t know that Ling Lan lived such a heart-wrenching and death-defying time during the past while.

“Ling Lan’s father, Ling Xiao.” They didn’t know, but that didn’t mean the others didn’t know. Instructor Number Two suddenly appeared behind the three of them and answered in a depressing tone.

“What? That god-class operator?” The three of them were utterly shocked.

“Majesty Four was really digging his own grave.” Number Six looked to the sky with a speechless expression. Taking in the spiritual power of a god-class operator with his current strength... crazy. The result was definitely going to be a ‘bang’ and an implosion.

“Majesty Four failed right?” guessed Number Seven, seeing that the learning space was still intact.

“That’s right, but wrong at same time.” This time, it was Number Three who answered.

“Number Three, when did you become so cryptic with your words?” After hearing that answer, Number Eight was annoyed. As a mecha operator, Number Three was the most straightforward one out of all of them. He would always say something and do it. He didn’t think that such a straightforward person would become this annoying.

“I wasn’t being straightforward?” Number Three’s eyes widened in shock, but he was speaking the truth.

Number Eight was after all someone who dove deeply into underlying matter so he quickly realized. “You’re saying he absorbed Ling Xiao’s spiritual power?”

He asked again, “Wait, although spiritual power is free-form, there’s a core. That core is an individual’s spiritual power. Majesty Four is still not able to take in the spiritual power core of a god-class operator yet. Are you saying the spiritual power he took in was just loose spiritual power that didn’t have any consciousness in it? Or are you saying he absorbed the main core.”

“Hmm, maybe he absorbed a part of the main core. But, can a core be split into pieces? According to our theories on Mandora, if the core splits, the spiritual entity would result in death. They would become like those loose spiritual energies, just energy with no life force and a core.” Number Eight continued making conclusions out loud. However, this was an impossible conclusion in his mind.

“What if the spiritual entity had two cores?” Number Five was unusually nice as he tried to provide an explanation for the observation.

“How’s that possible?” Number Eight didn’t even think about it and denied the possibility. Perhaps it was possible to awaken multiple innate talents, but there could only be one spiritual entity core. Two cores... Just the fight between the two cores on who should be the main core would cause a person to either become insane or become an idiot. However, they had seen Ling Xiao before. He was definitely a cultured, warm and logical person. His spiritual power was also stable and it didn’t seem to be shaky. He definitely didn’t behave like someone who had two cores...

Unfortunately, other than the three of them, the others had an expression of certainty on their faces. Number Eight wiped his face, “Alright, two cores. That’s insane. So Majesty Four successfully absorbed one core, but that core is still not something Little Four could take in all at once. Is that why the learning space is collapsing?”

“Yes and no,” replied Number Three.

In the next second, Number Eight ruthlessly pounced towards Number Three with readied fists.

Bang! Number Three crossed his arms and blocked Number Eight’s punch. He had a look of shock and said, “Why are you trying to hit me?”

Number Eight said angrily, “God damn it. If you’re going to say something, get straight to the point. I hate those types of ambiguous and not detailed answers.”

“...How was I being ambiguous?” Number Three felt that he was wrongly accused. He was just answering honestly and wasn’t perfunctory in his words.

“Then can you explain for me what you mean by ‘yes and no’?” Although he dealt with politics and spoke in an indirect manner every day, it didn’t mean he liked being spoken to in that way.

“You were right about Majesty Four successfully absorbing the core. But, you are wrong to say that it was the reason for the learning space collapsing,” Number Three could only explain nicely.
