Hearing Master Bai say that there were no other things to pay attention to regarding the Demon King's inner core, Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Having been here for so long, he finally heard some good news, so he quickly asked:

"So you mean I can just absorb the spiritual energy from the inner core, just like I used to use spiritual energy crystals to restore my spiritual energy?"

Master Bai nodded, collected all the replaced furniture, and then dumped it all in the backyard. After clapping his hands, he continued, "..."

"That's right, but your principal's situation isn't actually that good; being stuck in the middle is even more torturous."

Compared to having one's brain core shattered and being unable to activate one's Dharma form, it would actually be better if it had just been shattered in the first place.

If a demon king's inner core explodes but he can still survive, he can re-condense a small inner core prototype or a spirit crystal by consuming a large amount of spiritual energy.

Then, by continuously injecting pure spiritual energy, a rapid recovery effect can be achieved.

Of course, a significant drop in spiritual energy after recovery is unavoidable, but it can be repaired with prolonged rest.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately thought of the venomous python king he encountered after faking his death in Yunnan. Considering that the monster, which was only in the nascent stage of the inner core, could easily penetrate his proud defenses, he couldn't help but think more highly of the demon king's attack power.

Next, Master Bai continued to explain:

"Your principal's situation is actually more complicated now."

The shattered brain core will continuously leak spiritual energy. It needs to absorb spiritual energy continuously to repair the shattered brain core, and then it will continue to collapse due to the loss of spiritual energy in the process.

This process repeats itself, which means that repairing is not only more troublesome and time-consuming than rebuilding, but also consumes more resources.

Moreover, this process is proactive, requiring a person to actively manipulate spiritual energy while conscious to strengthen and close their brain nucleus.

It is important to know that the brain nucleus is the most intricate component in the body of a Grandmaster, and it is no exaggeration to say that it affects every nerve in the body.

Such an operation is not only accompanied by intense pain, but if one's willpower is not strong enough and one cannot endure it, it is also very likely to be dangerous..."

Upon hearing that not only were more demon king cores needed, but more importantly, there might be danger involved, Wang Zheng immediately became anxious and asked:

"The old man keeps talking about self-destruction all the time. So, once we get the Demon King's inner core, we'll let him self-destruct."

Anyway, according to you, re-forming the brain nucleus is simpler, so wouldn't that mean less suffering and a faster recovery?

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Upon hearing Wang Zheng's heartless words, Master Bai almost choked on his own saliva, while Nan Fengyi, standing next to him, slapped Wang Zheng in annoyance.

"Nonsense, Lao Bai was talking about back then, back then!"

Don't you understand?

Given Old Man Chu's current condition, let alone self-destruction, even if he were to use his full strength a few times, it would be too late to save him once the damage to his brain core becomes more severe.

What he needs to do now is to rest absolutely and absolutely not participate in any more battles.

I'm telling you this very seriously, I'm not joking. If he can't control his injury now and it continues to worsen, there really won't be any chance of him recovering.

As for self-destruction, hah, that would be absolutely suicide; there's no chance of survival!

At this point, Nan Fengyi sighed and continued:

"Don't be fooled by how easy your principal sounds now; he actually suffers a lot every day."

And do you really think that the so-called self-destruction is just about completely shattering the brain core?

If it were really that simple, do you think the country would be so foolish as to leave a master with three attributes who has transcended the mortal realm unrelieved?

You should know that the so-called "brain core" is a product that integrates all the spiritual power and part of the will of an extraordinary person.

To paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying, most of the body's essence, energy, and spirit are concentrated in this tiny brain nucleus.

"Self-destruction? Even a healthy superhuman would die instantly if they self-destructed their brain core, once the spiritual energy dissipated. Do you think this is some kind of child's game?"

As soon as Nan Fengyi finished speaking, Master Bai noticed that Wang Zheng's expression was rather somber, so he chimed in to comfort him:

"But Wang Zheng, you don't need to worry too much. Don't you know what kind of person Principal Chu is?"

Don't underestimate him for making such a name for himself all by himself in China!

Others might not be able to survive this recovery phase, but based on my understanding of your principal, as long as the external conditions are right, he will definitely be fine.

Moreover, this repair of the brain nucleus has both advantages and disadvantages; it's not all bad.

If Principal Chu can truly repair these cracks, his brain core will become much stronger, allowing him to take a giant leap forward on his path after becoming extraordinary.

At the very least, in terms of his mastery of spiritual energy, probably no one on Earth can match him…

Although Master Bai made it sound so easy, Wang Zheng wasn't completely at ease.

With his intelligence, how could he not understand the subtext in those words?

No one on Earth can match that, which means that no one has ever succeeded like that before.

Moreover, Master Bai said that the old man was enduring unbearable pain from his injuries all the time, and he was worried that he would keep making the old man angry after he came back.

He felt incredibly guilty.

At this moment, Wang Zheng clenched his fists tightly and made a firm decision in his heart.

As long as the old man can fully recover, he doesn't ask for a more robust brain core or more refined control over spiritual energy; he just wants the man to be healthy.

Whether it's 5, 10, or 20 demon king inner cores, or liquid spiritual energy, rare and precious materials, or blessed lands and grottoes abundant with spiritual energy.

He would do everything in his power to get the old man back as long as he could find external resources.

As for the remaining mental health issues, that's really up to Old Man Chu himself, since no one else can help with that...

However, Wang Zheng had confidence in the old man. He believed that his principal, who had silently endured the suffering since returning, would definitely be able to persevere.
