Ten minutes later.

Ryan appeared outside the Shendao Research Institute.

"Ryan..."

As soon as he walked out of the gate, James excitedly waved at him.

Ryan heard the sound and immediately smiled and waved.

He had just been to the Fragment Room, and Michael said that James had already left. He guessed that James was waiting for him at the gate, and sure enough, he was.

"Did you have any cute nurses in white coats over there?"

After rushing over to Ryan, James immediately asked with an expectant look on his face.

Ryan's face turned black. What kind of weird stuff was this guy thinking about?

"No, there weren't any... sigh... but Bianca is pretty, and she wears a white coat..."

James saw Ryan's expression and sighed in disappointment, but quickly became excited again, gossiping.

"How did you do? How long did you hold on for? Did your brain domain improve?"

The more he listened to this guy, the less he sounded like a normal person. Ryan quickly changed the subject.

"I held on for two and a half hours and couldn't take it anymore..."

James became excited when he heard this. "But Li tested my brain domain when I left, and it had actually increased by 0.0001%! It's now 10.2492%! Unfortunately, I found out too late about this experiment. Otherwise, I would have been even stronger!"

James increased his brain domain by 0.0001% in two and a half hours?

Ryan was amazed to hear this.

Although James's improvement speed was far inferior to his own, Ryan had Divine Fire, while James did not!

What caused James to improve so quickly?

Could it be that he really was a genius?

No!

But soon, Ryan dismissed this idea. If James were really a genius, his brain domain would not be so low.

Divinity!

At the next moment, Ryan suddenly thought of something.

When he was in the Meditation Room before, he had infused some essence of Shendao stones that seemed to enhance Divinity into James's brain.

Perhaps it was because of the increase in Divinity that James's brain domain had such a astonishing improvement speed.

Not only that, but he carefully sensed himself and felt that his own brain domain might have reached 12.76%, an increase of 0.52% from yesterday.

But according to yesterday's improvement speed, absorbing six hours of spiritual energy fragments would only increase by 0.48. What was the reason for the extra 0.04%? Undoubtedly, it was the effect of Divinity!

Divinity can accelerate the speed of brain domain development!

Ryan was shocked by this news. If he let Bianca know, she would definitely be ecstatic.

Moreover, it was definitely an amazing achievement that would benefit countless Elites!

"I can't tell Bianca right now. In the future, I'll find a chance to let her discover this situation or notice this direction..."

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

After a moment of thought, Ryan immediately made a decision.

This was a big deal. If he rashly told Bianca now, he might not be considered a successful minister, but instead be arrested for further research.

It's better to proceed gradually and steadily.

Ideally, after the Spiritual Fusion, when he becomes a genius, nobody will find it strange even if strange things happen.

"Let's go to the Meditation Room!"

Thinking of this, Ryan immediately took James to the Meditation Room.

"Ah? Can't we go to the game room first? I'll treat you! Balance work and rest... " James protested with a sad face.

He really admired Ryan now. Going to the Meditation Room right after leaving the Research Institute, did he really need to be so hardworking?

"I'll treat you! You've treated me so many times before, and now I have money! Rest and recovery is a thing of the past. We only have twenty-seven days until the Spiritual Fusion, and now is not the time to rest. We need to work hard every second! When we get accepted into the Shendao Academy, nobody will care about your rest."

Ryan shook his head and smiled.

"Okay."

James sighed and nodded, feeling that Ryan's words sounded a lot like Ava Lee's.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Meditation Room.

With the experience from last time, Ryan controlled himself a lot this time.

He no longer let Divine Fire swallow Shendao stone essence like a whale swallowing a cow, but kept it within a reasonable range.

However, as a result, the progress was much slower than before.

But Ryan was not in a hurry. Slowly but surely, he collected some and also gave some to his good buddy James.

Three hours later, Ryan reluctantly left the Meditation Room.

He wanted to stay for a while longer, but the Meditation Room closed at seven in the evening, and James had to go home, and he had to eat too.

If he could have his own Meditation Room and unlimited supply of Shendao stones, that would be great!

"Ryan, I may really be a genius! That kind of enlightening feeling has returned. Although it's not as strong as last time, it feels really great!"

After leaving the Meditation Room, James looked around sneakily and whispered mysteriously.

"Well, in that case, you can't waste your talent. Remember to meditate after you go home and keep improving yourself." Ryan smiled and nodded, reminding James.

"Okay." James nodded hard and then grinned foolishly. "I'm going to the game room to criticize Miss Tian Nv and then work hard. Do you want to come with me? I'll treat you."

This guy was hopeless!

Ryan looked at James with a speechless expression and shook his head.

"Okay then, I'll go by myself. You go home. Meet me tomorrow at the entrance of the research institute."

Feeling guilty, James glanced at Ryan and ran towards the game room as fast as he could. After a long day, he needed the comfort of the video game space to soothe his young heart.

"Go home!" Ryan wasted no time and went straight home after purchasing some protein bars and supplements.

...

District Nine, Tube Building.

"Hmm? Why is Ava Lee here?"

As soon as he arrived at the Tube Building, Ryan immediately saw Ava Lee standing outside, with her arms crossed and her eyes wandering around, looking displeased.

"Ryan, where have you been these past two days? Why didn't you go to school? I only scolded you a little bit, and you gave up on yourself? Let me tell you, what people fear the most is not others giving up on them, but giving up on themselves. If you work hard, you still have a chance, but if you don't, you're finished! Do you really want to live in this place for the rest of your life like everyone else, living a mediocre life?"

At this moment, Ava Lee also saw Ryan and walked over with an angry expression, scolding him.

As it turned out, Ava Lee was worried that Ryan had given up on himself and came to visit him at home...

Upon hearing this, Ryan's heart warmed, and he laughed silently.

"Laughing? You're laughing? Is what I said funny? Work hard, and there's still a chance. Don't work hard, and there won't even be a chance! I criticized you before to encourage you to progress, not to make you give up on yourself! Tomorrow morning, go back to school immediately..."

Looking at Ryan's appearance, Ava Lee became even more angry, and her teeth itched as she spoke like an angry lioness.

"Teacher Lee, I haven't given up on myself. I'm still working hard. My brain domain development is at 10.1407%!"

Ryan looked at Ava Lee and smiled even more brightly, scratching his head in embarrassment before looking up and saying,

When he left the Divinity Laboratory, Bianca helped him test his brain domain development, which increased by 0.07%, just like in the Fragment Room!

Upon hearing this, Ava Lee was stunned, looking at Ryan in shock and disbelief.

After two days, Ryan's brain domain development, which had been stagnant for three years, had increased by 0.1407%, making it hard for her to believe.

This kind of progress, even for a so-called genius, was impossible!

Moreover, at this rate, it meant that Ryan's brain domain development was likely to reach the genius level of 12% before the fusion of Lingwu, or even higher!

A waste, transformed into a genius?

Is this a miracle?

Or is Ryan about to lose his mind due to the upcoming fusion of Lingwu, and the tension that had been building up in him has finally snapped?

This kind of situation is not uncommon in Diamond Valley First School or the various high schools throughout the Federation. There are several cases every year!

At this point, Ava Lee shivered with fear, looking at Ryan's bright smile and becoming more convinced of her judgment. As she raised her hand to touch Ryan's forehead, she worriedly said,

"Ryan, are you okay? Why are you talking nonsense?!"
