Chapter 143: Chapter 124 - Only a Fool Would Cripple Their Own Martial Arts

By adjusting emotions to modify personality, Chen Yun applied this new characteristic of spiritual power.

After becoming fairly skilled with two scumbags, Chen Yun tried it out on Tan Bingtang.

He was like the God who created mankind.

At this moment, human emotions seemed like toys at his disposal; his spiritual power could freely stimulate any specific emotion.

This was more convenient, accurate, and faster than using drugs.

It only required a thought.

More reverence, more loyalty, more liberation, and a bit more gratitude, for some unknown reason.

He amplified these emotions in Tan Bingtang and made them more sensitive permanently.

Thus, a completely new personality emerged.

Chen Yun didn’t alter his memories, nor did he forcefully change them.

But now,

the look in Tan Bingtang’s eyes was filled with awe and submission.

This was the terrifying aspect of this new characteristic of spiritual power.

It was like PUA control, which is typically referred to as actions where some people use Pickup Artist techniques for mental control or emotional abuse.

This behavior might involve but is not limited to: diminishing self-esteem, creating dependency, emotional isolation, applying pressure, or exploiting insecurities to achieve control. PUA control often occurs in intimate relationships, including but not limited to romantic relationships, with the goal of establishing and maintaining an imbalanced power dynamic that makes the manipulated person submit to the manipulator.

But it was more convenient than PUA control, requiring no scripts or performance. And the effects were much faster and stronger.

It could easily guide and stimulate certain emotions.

Turning others’ wills into putty, to be kneaded and toyed with at whim.

Easily changing others’ free will!

So-called free will refers to the ability of humans or other conscious entities to make choices or decisions autonomously without being deterministically influenced by external factors.

Yet, such ability didn’t exist in front of Chen Yun at this moment.

Physically, others couldn’t resist.

Mentally, they were to be wantonly toyed with.

Life seemed, at this moment, more trivial and dull in front of Chen Yun.

The former Chen Yun, due to his progressively heightened senses, had gradually felt detached from the crowd, becoming like a different species.

And now,

the emergence of this new characteristic of spiritual power.

It further undervalued the essence of life before Chen Yun.

He could freely play with others’ bodies and minds, absolutely dominating over anyone, just like the disparity between humans and ants.

Everyone’s free will had no meaning before him.

So-called free will, at this moment, seemed particularly laughable before Chen Yun.

This new characteristic of spiritual power.

It was like Pandora’s box, once opened, it unleashed an array of unforeseeable futures.

However...

Chen Yun was confident in controlling such power!

He didn’t care about so-called free will.

He only knew his own way of judging this power, knowing when he wanted to use it and when he did not.

What did mundane views matter to him?

Chen Yun was confident that he wouldn’t lose himself in this domain close to divine power.

Even though manipulating free will wasn’t his preferred activity, it didn’t mean he would sever his own capabilities to not use such power.

That would be truly foolish.

Not using it would be utterly idiotic, undoubtedly foolish to the extreme.

Chen Yun was not a fool.

On the contrary, he would diligently use this taboo power.

Though not on those close to him.

After all, he didn’t want people he could chat with to become puppets at his whim. If that were the case, conversing with puppets would really be meaningless.

However, he frequently explored and experimented with this ability on various biological subjects to explore the limits of the ability and his own potential future limits.

In fact, there is no such thing as taboo abilities.

It is merely for ethical and moral reasons, as well as fear, that people dare not explore deeply.

From the perspective of Chen Yun as a Seeker now,

he only felt curious and amused, finding such matters far more interesting than any of his previous life pursuits.

Thinking this, he looked at Tan Bingtang, who had now become exceptionally submissive and awestruck; the expression in his eyes remained as calm and indifferent as ever.

"Go busy yourself, take care of those two scumbags."

Chen Yun said, as his spiritual power once again deeply reached into Tan Bingtang’s emotions,

causing Tan Bingtang to suddenly freeze in place.

Immediately afterward, Chen Yun took advantage of this temporary mental halt to avoid all the cameras and jumped out of the window, making his escape under the cover of night.

He left behind Tan Bingtang, who regained clarity as the spiritual power withdrew from his emotions, staring in confused and shocked silence at the empty private room.

Tan Bingtang, unsure of what had just occurred, deepened his awe of Chen Yun.

...

Taking advantage of the night,

Chen Yun ran through the streets as if flying.

In his mind, he began to record in the Memory Palace the conditions he discovered from the evolution of the previous day up to now.

[Record thirty-five: 2024.4.2 (Lunar February 24)]

[1. Changed to a new exercise method, the muscles throughout the body tremble at a high frequency autonomously, dual training for spirit and body. Current endurance time: 24 seconds. Current personal strength: about 6 tons.]

[1-1. The physique was enhanced again during this slumber evolution, which is commendable. However, a new change that did not require breathing occurred, the significance of this change is still unknown.]

[2. The original physique and build did not change, still close to a 175 cm tall man’s athletic build. Weight remains at 100 kg, it seems that the overall body data was locked, the association between strength and muscles seems to have fundamentally disappeared.]

[3. Ability Upgrade—Transparent World evolved to version 4.0. Specific effects: Super Vision, Super Smell, Super Hearing, Spiritual Power [including Real-time Information Transmission, 3D perception modeling, Perspective (cannot penetrate biological bodies), Emotion Perception, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception, Basic Version, Emotion Stimulation]]

[3-1. Spiritual Power Enhancement Introduction: The coverage range has increased from 100 meters to 200 meters, this enhancement rate is 100 percent, far surpassing the previous 25 percent. It is suspected to be related to the essence of the new abilities formed in this evolution, which caused the spiritual power to be enhanced accordingly. New function: Emotion Stimulation (can touch and stimulate a specified emotion in living beings, permanently increasing the sensitivity of that emotion to a certain extent)]

[3-2. Telekinesis Annotation Introduction: Telekinesis is spiritual power, an alternative name for the characteristic of spiritual power affecting the external world. Therefore, the application range is the same as spiritual power, appearing freely within this range, its impact can penetrate all materials except biological bodies, frequent use can increase the intensity and proficiency of operation. After this evolution, the force increased to 50 newtons, precision remains unchanged.]

[3-3. Emotion Stimulation Annotation Introduction: This is a new ability brought by the sixth slumber evolution, manifested as a new characteristic of spiritual power. This characteristic allows my spiritual power to reach into biological emotion entities and stimulate them through the infusion of spiritual power. After numerous experiments, it was found: different biological emotion entities vary in size, humans being the largest. The structure within biological emotion entities has different classifications representing various emotions, with humans being the most complex. The heightened sensitivity of emotions remains permanent after stimulation.]

[4. Thermal Sight Enhancement—The duration increased from eight seconds to fifteen seconds, an increase of 87.5 percent. It can be basically confirmed that regular exercise cannot enhance the strength of thermal sight, but it will be influenced by the overall enhancement from each evolution, thereby increasing the duration.]

[5. Notes—Choosing multiple evolution directions can lead to awakening from the slumber evolution state ahead of time but will bring certain defects. When choosing a single evolution direction, the slumber evolution returns to normal.]

[6. Notes—The light point in the blue dream seems to have a certain subjective initiative and may actively seek interaction.]

The unified enhancement in physical strength and telekinesis gained from another slumber evolution need not be detailed.

The 6 tons of strength nearly doubled his power, already surpassing all creatures, at least all terrestrial animals are likely inferior to him.

With his physical strength, even facing a whale that may be stronger, he could pierce through it like a nail.

As for the enhancement in telekinesis, it was still the same.

The strength increased to 50 newtons, but precision remained unchanged, which fundamentally was not very useful to Chen Yun, only a little better than nothing.

As for the reason he no longer needed to breathe, he had speculated some possibilities, but there was no way to verify them yet.

Besides, the increased duration of thermal sight and the appearance of new characteristics in spiritual power had already been verified.

The only thing worth mentioning was that the Transparent World could probably be called version 4.0 now. Although it did not fundamentally add new senses, the increase in range was sufficient to change the designation from version 3.5 to 4.0.

After all, the radius had doubled, and the volume had increased more than just twice.

In short,

this was yet another quite satisfying evolution.

The new ability, in a sense, was more perverted and taboo than any that had appeared before.

However, Chen Yun had the confidence to use it well and not let such abilities gradually exaggerate certain aspects of his personality, leading him toward some extreme.

As for the short-term plans that needed to be updated after each evolution, the newly devised short-term plan 6.0 by Chen Yun had no significant differences from the previous version 5.0.

Only in the fifth item of the many arrangements, he added some provisions regarding the Emotion Stimulating Characteristic.

[5: Train the Transparent World 4.0 at nine in the evening, including Vision, Hearing, Smell, Spiritual Power. (Spiritual Power training mainly includes Perceiving biological emotions, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception. Emphasis in Telekinesis on the flexibility of control. Emotion Stimulation related training becomes occasional trips to Heaven Nightclub to conduct some experimental training)]

Aside from that, not much needed changing.

Plans for experimenting Killing Intent on plants, daily learning about signal modulation and demodulation, and baseband signal knowledge, all did not need amendment.

These were things he needed to do, but had not yet completed.
