Just now, I discussed with Tesla about a control issue.
Yes, currently Wolf Gang is indeed under the control of Lin Feng, but that is based on their ignorant fear of Lin Feng. Despite their outward appearance of absolute obedience, if one day, for whatever reason, this ignorant fear of Lin Feng disappears, or if they find someone stronger than Lin Feng, what will they do? Will they betray Lin Feng?
Actually, this cannot be considered betrayal; Wolf Gang was not established by Lin Feng. It was taken over by Lin Feng when he forcefully invaded their headquarters.
Well, regardless of whether this is betrayal or something else, Lin Feng feels it is necessary to use some means to ensure that several key figures in Wolf Gang will always obey him.
What means should be used? Tesla's suggestion is to still use the “Spiritual Mark”.
Previously, Lin Feng established a “Spiritual Mark” on Lao Jiang using one percent of the spatial energy from the magic ring, allowing for relatively long-distance tracking.
Tesla said that by using more spatial energy, it might be possible to implant a permanent “Spiritual Mark” in a person's brain using Mental Power. This type of “Spiritual Mark” can not only track the other person's location but also allow for “Mental Transmission” between them.
Mental Transmission, similar to the “divine sense transmission” in martial arts novels, can only be heard by the person transmitting it; others cannot hear it. This way, during critical moments, whispers can be communicated without needing to be close; Mental Transmission would suffice.
Most importantly, this “Spiritual Mark” can interfere with a person's brain cells, causing an intense headache. According to Tesla's description, it feels like thousands of needles are stabbing into your head. It's akin to Sun Wukong's “tightening spell,” which causes pain but does not immediately harm you. However, prolonged pain can still lead to brain death.
In any case, after hearing Tesla's description, Lin Feng knew he couldn't withstand it.
Of course, all these functions are based on the premise that the other party is in absolute obedience when you implant this “Spiritual Mark,” and that they are within your range of Mental Power coverage.
To differentiate from the previous type of “Spiritual Mark” that only tracks location, Lin Feng decided to call this permanent “Spiritual Mark” a “Spiritual Brand.”
Now, Lin Feng is going to conduct experiments on several key figures in Wolf Gang. The success rate is said to be quite high.
Initially, he naturally chose to experiment on the Wolf King.
After all, even Lin Feng does not know how much spatial energy from the magic ring is required to implant this “Spiritual Brand.” If we consider the spatial energy in Lin Feng's magic ring as 100 points: treating Dong Jie's dysmenorrhea cost him 10 points; implanting a “Spiritual Mark” in Lao Jiang cost him 1 point; and today’s implantation of a “Spiritual Mark” in Huang Sheng also cost him 1 point. Now, Lin Feng is quite low on resources with only 88 points of spatial energy left.
Given this situation, he plans to conserve his energy. If implanting the “Spiritual Brand” in the Wolf King costs more than 5 points of spatial energy, he intends to only implant it in the Wolf King. After all, controlling him means controlling the entire Wolf Gang.
Perhaps only then will Wolf Gang truly belong to Lin Feng.
Without further ado, Lin Feng had everyone sit down. Of course, Li Zhong still stood behind Lin Feng.
"Wolf King, explain to me why you haven't taken any action against Huang Sheng from last night until now? Damn it, if I hadn't happened to run into that scumbag Huang Sheng, my sister would have been bullied by this beast." Lin Feng initially intended to question Wolf King in a way that would undermine his mental resistance, making it easier to implant the Spiritual Brand. However, as he spoke and recalled Dong Jie, his tone grew even more furious.
Whenever Dong Jie was mentioned, Lin Feng could never control his emotions.
"Feng Shao, I was planning to deal with that bastard Huang Sheng tomorrow night. I didn't expect... Feng Shao, I realize my mistake," Wolf King said, lowering his head in explanation.
At that moment, Tesla, who had been observing Wolf King's mental fluctuations, proceeded to implant the Spiritual Brand without needing Lin Feng's instruction. This was the best time for implantation since Wolf King's mental resistance was at its lowest.
Of course, if Mental Power reached a certain level, anyone could be implanted with the Spiritual Brand at any time. However, that level of Mental Power was something even Tesla felt was far beyond reach—not to mention Lin Feng.
That could perhaps be described as a divine existence.
Lin Feng remained there with his eyes closed; he wasn't in the mood to show off but was quietly waiting. This was the first trial. Although Tesla hadn't insisted on absolute silence for the implantation of the Spiritual Brand on Wolf King, Lin Feng felt it was still wise to maintain a relatively quiet environment.
"Alright, it's done!" Finally, Lin Feng received Tesla's response, and it was a successful one.
Hearing this made Lin Feng feel a bit excited; succeeding on the first try indicated that this method wasn't too difficult—at least for Tesla. With Lin Feng's current level of Mental Power, he didn't even qualify to give it a try.
"Ah... it used up about 4 units of spatial energy," Tesla continued without acknowledging Lin Feng's excitement.
After all, for Lin Feng, the reduction of spatial energy was merely akin to a decrease in space within the magic ring. Even if it were exhausted, Lin Feng would simply stop using the magic ring. Although his abilities would significantly decline, he could still live quite freely.
However, for Tesla, this reduction in spatial energy was not just about space size. The magic ring was Tesla's dwelling place; if the space shrank to a certain extent and Tesla couldn't exit, he would likely end up being crushed.
Thus, Tesla cared more about the consumption of spatial energy within the magic ring than Lin Feng did.
"Huh? What did you say? What do you mean by about 4 units? How many is it exactly?" Tesla's words extinguished the small flame of excitement in Lin Feng's heart. He quickly asked.
"About 4 units means 5 units," Tesla replied bluntly. If it were 5 units, he should just say 5 units instead of saying about 4 units.
After listening to Tesla, Lin Feng began to calculate in his mind. Damn it, after all the calculations, if he implanted the "Spiritual Brand" into the remaining three members of the Wolf Gang, he would only have 68 points of spatial energy left. In other words, he would only have 68% of his spatial energy remaining.
This is too expensive! Spatial energy was being squandered once again.
As Mental Power entered the magic ring, Lin Feng clearly noticed that the space inside the ring had shrunk significantly; it used to be one cubic meter, but now it was just a little over half a square meter.
Well, a real man should look forward and not be flustered by these minor losses. This statement made sense, but it also seemed somewhat self-righteous.
Feeling regretful about the decrease in his spatial energy, Lin Feng soon faced another problem: should he continue to implant the "Spiritual Brand" into the remaining Lao Jiang, A-Gang, and A Tie?
Alright, 68% is 68%. I refuse to believe that I can't find a way to solve the spatial energy issue. Lin Feng finally made up his mind.
"Old Buddy, go ahead and implant the 'Spiritual Brand' into the remaining three. I'll find a way to increase the spatial energy," Lin Feng gritted his teeth and decided to let Tesla continue with the implantation for the other three.
"Okay, but you need to be careful with your spending; there isn't much spatial energy left. I don't want to be crushed; that would be too suffocating," Tesla replied to Lin Feng in a relatively polite tone. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and Tesla couldn't afford to be careless.
Controlling one person used up 5% of spatial energy, which was something Tesla found hard to accept.
"Come on, what's with all the hesitation? You've lived for thousands of years; why are you still so afraid of dying?" Seeing that Tesla was more worried than himself, Lin Feng pretended to be fearless. After all, he had nothing to lose; at worst, he wouldn't use the magic ring anymore.
Of course, saying this was just to bolster his courage. If Lin Feng's magic ring were to become useless, he knew he wouldn't be satisfied with that outcome.
For a moment, Lin Feng pondered how to increase his spatial energy. He thought of methods for energy conversion, but what kind of energy could be transformed into spatial energy within the magic ring? That was the key question.
"Alright." Tesla seemed a bit fatigued; it was unclear whether this fatigue came from using Mental Power to implant the "Spiritual Brand" or from suddenly losing 20% of spatial energy.
Lin Feng didn't ask at that moment. If Tesla's fatigue was due to the latter reason, there would be nothing he could do about it anyway. He was troubled by that issue himself, so it was better not to ask.
"Hello... can everyone hear me? Wolf King, Lao Jiang, A-Gang, A Tie..." Lin Feng opened his eyes and smiled slightly as he spoke to the three who had been implanted with the "Spiritual Brand."
Of course, with Mental Transmission available, Lin Feng didn't need to speak out loud.
While Lin Feng couldn't implant the "Spiritual Brand," using it with his Mental Power was more than sufficient.
The four of them heard Lin Feng's voice in their minds, yet they did not hear him speak aloud. For a moment, they were stunned and unsure of what to do.
"Don't just stand there. I'm directly transmitting my thoughts to you. You don't need to speak; just think what you want to say," Lin Feng said, feeling quite pleased as he continued using Mental Transmission to communicate with them.
"Feng Shao, this..." The four responded in unison, which surprised Lin Feng a bit. With all four voices echoing in his mind, wasn't it quite noisy?
"It's just like talking to someone. Even if many people are speaking, you can still hear the person you want to listen to. You'll get used to it," Tesla explained, sensing Lin Feng's confusion.
"What if I use Mental Transmission? Can they guess what I'm thinking?" Lin Feng asked, a bit worried.
"Are you silly? With Mental Transmission, you're in control. You can let them know what you want them to know; what you don't want them to know, they naturally won't," Tesla replied, regaining his arrogant demeanor as he explained.
"But if someone with a Spiritual Brand is speaking, I would be able to hear them, right?" Lin Feng asked curiously, ignoring Tesla's arrogance. After all, no matter how much he boasted, he couldn't escape Lin Feng's grasp... or rather, his magic ring.
"You really are dense! As long as it's under your Mental Power coverage, you'll know even what they're thinking. Naturally, you'll hear what they say," Tesla continued explaining patiently, though his tone remained boastful.
Hearing this answer, Lin Feng couldn't care less about Tesla's arrogance anymore. According to Tesla's explanation, wasn't the Spiritual Brand a kind of advanced eavesdropping device?
With that thought in mind, Lin Feng was filled with anticipation for the Spiritual Brand.
