Chapter 221 The Awakening of the Super Guide (36)
Jingli had already guessed this during the assessment, but he didn't expect them to make such a fast progress. Judging from Yan Jiu's appearance, he probably hadn't slept since leaving him last night, otherwise it wouldn't have been reflected in today's assessment.
Jingli took a quick shower in the lounge.
To ensure the driver's condition, the heavy armor has a self-cleaning system, but Jingli still feels more comfortable taking a shower.
Yan Jiu didn't keep him waiting for long and took him directly to a private research room.
"We analyzed the fluctuations in mental energy during this freshman assessment and even had someone come over to conduct several experiments. The results are all here."
An encrypted document was transmitted to Jingli's terminal. The summary section had been extracted and translated into a more understandable expression, consistent with Jingli's previous speculation with 6058—sentinels who had used the enhancer were more prone to riots when they approached their mental power limit, and during this period, their physical functions also showed some signs of decline.
As for whether there will be a recovery after the recession, it is too early to draw a conclusion due to the short time frame and lack of comparative data.
Jingli quickly finished reading the document and looked at Yanjiu again.
He needed to know Yan Jiu's attitude towards this.
This research has only just begun, but one can imagine that its impact will be devastating.
The Blue Stone Kingdom never had any spontaneously awakened sentinels or guides; they were all created through sheer resources. Now, these resources are in trouble—a major problem at that. Whether to use these resources or not is a matter of national survival.
Yan Jiu didn't beat around the bush: "As you can see, the resources we've been using all along have indeed been problematic. The reason we brought you here is to conduct further research based on your own experience."
He was still smiling, but his expression clearly showed helplessness.
Although he was called the brain of the nation, it was only at this point that he realized how little he could do.
Jingli lowered her eyes and after a long while, she spoke again: "I do have some feelings, and after awakening the second spiritual body, I have made some new discoveries."
Yan Jiu looked at him, a fleeting joy in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
Jingli understood that unless he could provide a real solution, this so-called joy would only be temporary.
However, if this can be successfully advanced, Jingli is not without a way to balance this matter.
Everything depends on Yan Jiu and the current thoughts of the rulers behind him.
Jingli incorporated his findings into his experience during this training camp, removing the data and describing their views in more detail.
He emphasized the relationship between his physical sensations and the upper limit of his mental energy usage. As for the new discovery, he cited the example of the guide who helped the sentry during today's assessment.
"After awakening my second spiritual body, I seem to be able to sense something else. Everyone's spiritual power doesn't seem pure, as if something is disrupting the normal operation of spiritual power."
Jingli subtly hinted at his thoughts: since he was the only dual-spirit guide in the world, it was only natural that he could sense things that ordinary people couldn't.
As expected, although Yan Jiu was slightly surprised, he did not ask too many questions.
But then, Yan Jiu's expression faltered.
Because Jingli then added, "I think I can suppress these things."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door behind Jingli slammed shut, a red light flashed, and all the robots began broadcasting—"Emergency situation. All personnel in the research institute are on high alert."

The campus assessment results came out quickly. The freshman team, led by Fu Li, achieved a first-ever pass for all members. Except for Yin Meng, who narrowly missed the line, the others performed quite well.
The evaluation system for guides is different from that for sentinels, but Jingli's score spread throughout the campus as soon as it came out. Perhaps it was because of his S-level status, the first in the country, or perhaps it was because of his outstanding performance in the assessment. Some people were discussing his near-perfect score, while others were arguing about where he lost points.
But none of this reached Jingli's ears, because he had been "detained" at the research institute and cut off from communication with the outside world.
After Jingli finished explaining that he could suppress those "invisible things," Yanjiu almost instinctively pressed the alarm. Subsequently, the space where the two of them were located was trapped, and at the same time, security alarms sounded all around.
Jingli's expression changed slightly due to this sudden turn of events, but he was not worried because he did not sense any malice from Yan Jiu, nor did 6058 detect any threat.
Sure enough, the next second Yan Jiu raised his hands and hurriedly explained, "001, I'm sorry, this matter is highly confidential, and I must ensure that the space we are in is safe enough."
Perhaps worried that Jingli might misunderstand, he spoke quickly: "I just activated a special emergency mode to ensure our conversation will proceed safely. Aside from being unable to contact anyone outside, we won't impose any restrictions on you."
Jingli nodded in understanding.
His words contained a lot of information, and with Yan Jiu's brain, he could process it almost instantly—what Jing Li said today might not only solve the resource problem that was just discovered, but even... solve the problem of the awakening of the Sentinel Guides.
This information, including the information provided by Jingli who possesses the corresponding capabilities, is extremely important. Yan Jiu cannot allow any mishaps at such a crucial juncture.
And so Jingli was left at the research institute, accompanied by Yan Jiu and his research team.
Jingli didn't directly tell them about the impurities, but only gave a general description.
After all, this is not something that should exist in this world. Revealing everything directly is only a seemingly efficient way, but it may not necessarily gain trust. At this time, speaking in ambiguity is more credible and can push the researchers to explore the presentation of the so-called "invisible things" on their own.
He will need the help of the research institute to find other ways to eliminate the effects of impurities. It would be more convenient for them to spend some time researching this.
In any case, now that the resource issue has been identified, it is still possible to restrict resource usage in the short term.
With the research institute's swift and decisive action—cutting off the source of the problem within a day of Jingli hinting at potential issues with the resources—Jingli was confident they could find a solution before the sentinels questioned the resource allocation.
After all, he already had the method; all that was left was to implement it.
Jingli spent more than ten hours at the research institute. He had very little work to do, which was simply to act as a "detector" to help the researchers describe the impurities he sensed and to help the research institute understand what these things were, since he was currently the only one who could see them.
Yan Jiu and his team's work was much more complicated. From the moment the alarm sounded, all of Yan Jiu and his team's actions were confined to this high-density laboratory. Everyone was busy extracting experiments and adjusting parameters, but because of this, everything progressed very quickly.
Yan Jiu was getting old and couldn't handle such high-intensity work. After 26 hours without closing his eyes, Yan Jiu was finally persuaded by his students to take a break.
Yan Jiu only closed his eyes to rest for two hours. He set an alarm for himself—the research data was about to be released.
