The cub was dazed and confused when a professional holographic modeling helmet, clearly mismatched with her tiny head, was put on her.

After all, time was indeed a bit tight.

The news I received yesterday arrived today.

There wasn't even time to prepare a suitable holographic model for the helmet.

Mu Jianhe felt that he was not well prepared.

But one of the cubs was happily playing with its wobbly little helmet on its head.

The little head swayed from side to side.

The chubby little hands clumsily grabbed at the left and then at the right.

Wow~

It looks like a seesaw!

Seeing that the cub didn't seem to be having any problems, Mu Jianhe breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Come on, little one, let's test your mental strength first."

After all, only a vast enough spiritual sea can support every enormous and intricate detail in the modeling and drawing.

"Don't be afraid, Grandpa will be right here and will make sure nothing happens to you."

The cub nodded, seemingly confused.

The cubs were led away.

Mu Jianhe touched the void in front of the cub.

The art studio in front of me suddenly disappeared into the darkness.

Instead, there was an endless, empty black area.

Only a beam of pure white light shone down on their heads.

"Go, child, and do everything in your power to light up this darkness before you."

As soon as he finished speaking,

That single glimmer of light also dimmed.

Finally, it all ended in darkness.

Mu Jianhe leaned on his cane with both hands.

He couldn't see anything in the darkness.

His eyes were vacant, and he couldn't help but recall the past.

He hadn't led anyone in doing this kind of test in a long time.

The last one was his little grandson.

He should have been a peerless genius.

But,

To this day, he still doesn't understand what happened.

How could his little grandson have turned out like that?

Mu Jianhe couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it...oi!!

A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky.

The dazzling light illuminated the darkness almost instantly.

It was as if a dazzlingly bright sword had suddenly torn through the dark space.

Mu Jianhe, still wallowing in melancholy: ...?

The old man almost staggered back two steps.

It's so dazzling! The light is absolutely blinding!

Mu Jianhe tried his best to turn his head away, while simultaneously covering his eyes with his hands as if he were doing everything he could.

His other hand trembled as he reached out to find the cub in the blinding light.

"Enough, enough, baby, that's enough!!!"

The cub finally released its light.

I hadn't even started playing when I was suddenly told to stop.

The cub looked somewhat bewildered.

But the little one is a good little one.

The cub slowly lowered its chubby little hand.

Due to its perspective, the cub was unaware of the harm its emitted light had caused to the old man.

After a long while, Mu Jianhe finally snapped out of his daze from the extremely bright light and saw the cub's big, shining eyes.

There were three big characters written inside.

I still want to play!

The cub fiddled with its chubby little fingers and gave the old man a fawning smile.

"Grandpa!"

Mu Jianhe: ...

So the old man silently took out his sunglasses from his pocket.

The next second,

The boundless darkness was transformed into a glittering disco.

Bright, flashing, bright, flashing, bright, flashing, flashing!

The cub's chubby little hands were so excited they were almost red from clapping.

Her soft little belly swayed in mid-air, creating a undulating arc.

This is so much fun! It's absolutely so much fun!!!

The old man: ...

Even this old man who had lived for over 100 years didn't expect this.

One day,

This endless black space, which tests mental capacity, was completed in three seconds by a child who is no more than three years old!?

Thinking of the disciples he once led,

Which one of them wasn't weeping bitterly in this endless darkness?

They were in this endless darkness,

He discovered that his prized talent couldn't illuminate even his small corner of the world.

I barely managed to reach the passing grade after giving it my all.

Modeling is a highly demanding task.

For ordinary jobs, this is enough mental energy; for modeling and drawing, it's nothing.

How many self-proclaimed geniuses have left this dark and desolate place only to become lost and disillusioned?

Slowly,

This endless dark chamber, which tests talent, has long been rumored to be extremely terrifying.

Every single one of those children who came in was trembling.

But look at this little brat!

Not afraid at all

I'm not afraid at all!!

"Giggle! Giggle!!"

A little rascal was running around him in circles with his chubby little legs.

Laughter filled the small space.

Mu Jianhe: ...

Why,

People are really different.

I don't know how much time passed.

Mu Jianhe felt that the time was almost up.

He reached out his hand to the cub.

"Little one, it's time to go. There's another item to do."

Upon hearing this,

The cubs then reluctantly stopped.

Even so, the little chubby hands were still trying hard to grasp and clench.

They seem extremely reluctant to part with it!

However, the cub obediently took the old man's hand.

"Zhou Ba~ Baby, come play again next time~"

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile.

This child.

The boundless darkness receded,

The original art studio reappeared in front of the two of them.

But in reality, they are still within the StarNet.

The previous test assessed the capacity of the mental sea (a concept in traditional Chinese medicine); this test primarily assesses the degree of control over the mental sea.

"Come here, little one, follow Grandpa."

First, gently extract a wisp of spiritual energy from your mental sea, just a little bit.

As the old man finished speaking,

A faint green spiritual line appeared in the old man's hand.

The cubs imitate what they see.

The child, however, had no idea where the old man had extracted the spiritual threads from.

Inside the head?

The cub, imitating the old man, pulled a hair from the top of its head...

cub: ...?

The cub glanced blankly at the single strand of hair it was clutching in its chubby little hand.

Then he glanced at the old man with a somewhat blank expression.

The old man's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Not from the hair, but from the mind; extract only a tiny bit, the thinner and longer the better."

This was the first time the child had consciously used his mental power.

Under the old man's patient guidance

The cubs are progressing very quickly.

However, they successfully captured it in no time.

A thin spiritual line... uh... a thread?

cub: ...?

The old man: ...!!

This child,

Is it possible for a three-year-old child to mobilize such precise mental energy?!

ah! ! ?

The usually composed and expressionless old man was genuinely shocked.

He looked at the cub's tiny hands again and again.

Really? Or not?

The cub looked bewildered.

The old man coughed lightly.

He straightened his back, pretending to remain unmoved.

But his gaze kept drifting back and forth to the cubs.

Could there really be such a gifted person?!

In a general sense,

The mental sea has a large capacity, but controlling mental power is another matter entirely.

The child in front of me is...

"Come on, little one, draw with Grandpa."

Let's start with the simplest one.

Is the little grass nice?

As the old man spoke, he carefully used his mental power to draw a lifelike, soft blade of grass in mid-air.

The grass wasn't even flat.

It is 3D.

After making the last stroke,

The grass, shimmering with a faint, magical light, fell to the floor.

It swayed gently in mid-air.

The cub's two big eyes widened.

Two beautiful, bright pink and blue eyes sparkled.

Awesome!!!

Bao wants to come too!!!

Mini-theater:

The endless darkness that had lasted for countless years: Dawn has broken!?
