Chapter 232: The Final Step

Yan ran to block the path of Su Wen and his group.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was somewhat displeased by Yan's sudden obstruction. However, since Yan was part of the Golden Generation with considerable potential, and both he and Ghost Douluo had personally guided Yan and the others in their cultivation, Chrysanthemum Douluo's tolerance for Yan was quite high.

For this reason, Chrysanthemum Douluo did not immediately scold him but instead frowned at Yan, signaling with his eyes for him not to interfere with important matters.

Yan, however, seemed oblivious to Chrysanthemum Douluo's signals, staring intently at Su Wen.

"Su Wen, I will surpass you!" Yan said firmly.

Su Wen was speechless, not understanding what kind of drug Yan had taken to act like this.

"Enemies defeated by me are never considered opponents. I give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me."

Although Su Wen was quite speechless, he still maintained a high level of composure, exuding an air of arrogance.

This immediately shocked the surrounding students.

How arrogant!

However, Su Wen had the confidence to be so arrogant.

Especially Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe,' who knew that Su Wen had not only advanced to Spirit Emperor but also completely crushed the current Golden Generation in terms of strength.

Indeed, even if given time, you wouldn't be able to catch up!

This is the stark reality.

Yan's face darkened, still wanting to make more threats.

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't hold back any longer.

"Yan, that's enough!"

He suddenly released his Soul Power, forcing Yan back several meters. At this point, Yan seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the situation, lowering his head and no longer daring to make any excessive moves.

"Still not leaving?"

"Yes!"

Yan hurriedly left.

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Su Wen and said apologetically, "Sorry for making Master Wen witness this."

Su Wen waved his hand, indicating that such things were normal.

"The Spirit Master World needs this kind of competition to continue advancing."

Yan, who had not gone far, felt even more distressed upon hearing this.

Damn it, he's already at a different level now.

"Wait, Su Wen, I will definitely surpass you!"

"I'm already cultivating your techniques. If I still can't surpass you, it can only mean my talent is too weak."

Yan did not believe his talent was weak!

After Yan's brief interruption, Su Wen followed Chrysanthemum Douluo into the library.

The library at the Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy was vast, with an incredibly rich collection of materials, serving as a significant symbol distinguishing it from other Advanced Spirit Master Academies on the Continent.

Unfortunately, from today onwards, the materials here will become obsolete, to be replaced by Su Wen's Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge.

However, from another perspective, this could also become a feature of the future Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

Moving the Wisdom Palace's Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge into their own Academy would indeed be far superior to other Advanced Spirit Master Academies.

Upon entering the library, Su Wen went to the most core area.

Chrysanthemum Douluo rolled up his right hand and stored all the materials here into a storage spirit tool.

Knowing in advance that Su Wen would be setting up the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge here, other Academy personnel had already left the team to prepare.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo collected the materials, and they immediately retrieved the platform from the storage spirit tool for placing the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge's Spirit Seal books.

Su Wen also summoned the Heavenly Book, repeating the process of establishing the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge that he had performed countless times.

A large number of pages flew around him, gradually evolving into a book in the core area. This book landed on the central platform, while the remaining pages scattered across various corners of the library.

After completing these tasks, Su Wen seemed to have reached his limit, with his face appearing slightly pale.

Across the entire Continent, he had now established over two hundred Mountains of Books and Seas of Knowledge.

Although having so many Mountains of Books and Seas of Knowledge is significant, and though it is part of Su Wen's Martial Spirit, the use of the Fire Seed Condensation technique to separate the pages, as well as the operation and energy consumption and replenishment of the pages, did not have a major impact on Su Wen.

Even the illusory space that had already been established did not place too much burden on Su Wen.

What truly stressed Su Wen were the projections within the illusory space—projections of Su Wen's Visualized World.

These projections essentially output various aspects of Su Wen's Visualized World.

You could think of Su Wen's Visualized World as a terminal connected to over two hundred servers, providing knowledge and functions to these servers.

This was the source of Su Wen's stress.

Today, this stress reached its limit, and Su Wen's face clearly showed how difficult things had become.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other high-ranking officials of the Academy were somewhat caught off guard.

According to the information they had received, establishing the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge should not have any side effects.

Why did it turn out like this after just one establishment at the Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy?

Scamming?

That's unlikely.

Chrysanthemum Douluo squinted, observing Su Wen's condition, and guessed, "Indeed, the establishment of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge also burdens Su Wen himself."

However, despite this, Su Wen still established the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge.

This made Chrysanthemum Douluo even more convinced that Su Wen must have a plan.

"The Pope's speculation cannot be wrong. Since Su Wen has paid a price to establish so many Mountains of Books and Seas of Knowledge, he certainly will not relinquish the Wisdom Palace easily."

So, he definitely would not give up on integrating the Wisdom Palace.

Moreover, since Su Wen has paid a price to establish the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, does this mean that once Su Wen wants to make these Mountains of Books and Seas of Knowledge collapse, he could avoid bearing the pressure?

If that's the case, then the entire Continent's Wisdom Palace would depend solely on Su Wen.

This would only elevate Su Wen's status even higher.

Bibi Dong's decision not to have Spirit Hall directly reveal its intention to take over the Wisdom Palace control, as with the Star Luo royal family, also considered this aspect.

If Su Wen could instantly cause all the Mountains of Books and Seas of Knowledge within the Wisdom Palace to collapse, what good would having control over the Wisdom Palace do?

What use would managing the operations of the Wisdom Palace be?

"Master Wen, do you need to rest for a bit?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked tentatively.

Su Wen waved his hand.

"No need, the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge has been established, and the Wisdom Palaces across the Continent are effectively complete."

Su Wen's tone was quite cheerful. Although his face was pale, it was clear from his expression that he was somewhat relaxed.

As if he could finally lay down a heavy burden.

"Next, it's the final step."

The final step?

Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback.

How could there be a final step?

Wasn't the recent task the final establishment of the Wisdom Palace?

"Spirit Hall manages all Spirit Masters across the world, and the Wisdom Palace will not interfere or conflict with Spirit Hall in this regard. The purpose of the Wisdom Palace is singular: to disseminate knowledge."

"However, during the process of establishing the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, I have sensed many drawbacks in the current distribution of the Wisdom Palace."

Su Wen spoke slowly.

As he spoke, everyone held their breath.

It felt as though something major was about to happen.
