    Chapter 244

    Following the opening of the Morning Sun Beauty Salon, the atmosphere throughout the Morning Sun Courtyard gradually changed.

    The biggest change wasn't the salon itself.

    It was Sister Bai and Xiaotian.

    After their transformations, the two seemed like fairies who had descended into the mortal world. Simply standing quietly in the courtyard made the entire place feel brighter and more refined.

    Beauty possessed that kind of power.

    Whenever the others faced them, they unconsciously lowered their heads.

    There was admiration.

    Affection.

    Respect.

    And even a trace of nervousness.

    Regardless of age or gender, everyone in the Morning Sun Courtyard became noticeably more obedient whenever the two of them were present.

    Before long, hardly anyone called her Sister Bai anymore.

    Somehow, everyone had gradually begun calling her Fairy Wan'er instead.

    Even she couldn't stop them.

    One person worth mentioning was Xiao Linzi.

    The well-dressed man who used to visit once every month to donate money had recently begun appearing much more frequently.

    Nobody knew what he was thinking.

    Of course, only Su Hao and Yashan knew that this was also the man they had unknowingly rescued while collecting genetic data from Summoners.

    Later, Su Hao learned that Xiao Linzi was actually the biggest financial supporter of the Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Thinking back, he couldn't help feeling fortunate.

    Had they arrived even a little later that night...

    The orphanage's greatest benefactor might already have been dead.


    ---

    Time quietly passed.

    School resumed once again.

    Every morning, Su Hao remained in the library of the Summoner Academy, while every afternoon he continued learning mental cultivation, spatial theory, and summoning under Fu Leyi.

    His routine from the previous semester continued without interruption.


    ---

    On the first weekend after school resumed, the Morning Sun Beauty Salon welcomed its very first customer.

    She was an extremely wealthy woman weighing well over three hundred kilograms.

    Without hesitation, she chose the standard beauty treatment, paying forty thousand yuan in advance.

    Before beginning, Sister Bai patiently reminded her,

    "This price only covers facial enhancement."

    "We don't provide weight-loss services."

    The woman waved dismissively.

    "It doesn't matter."

    "As long as my face becomes beautiful."

    "My body can stay the same."

    "Money isn't a problem."

    Hidden behind a curtain, Su Hao quietly collected her genetic information before making the necessary adjustments and cultivating the appropriate genetic modification solution.

    With his current abilities, the process required only about five hours.

    Waiting that long tended to make customers anxious.

    To avoid unnecessary trouble...

    Su Hao simply put the customer to sleep.

    Everything afterward proceeded smoothly.

    When she finally woke up and saw herself in the mirror...

    She erupted with excitement.

    She bounced around the room like an oversized child, laughing and crying at the same time.

    Although...

    Everyone watching couldn't help feeling that something looked rather strange.

    An angelically beautiful face...

    Paired with a body weighing more than three hundred kilograms...

    The visual contrast was astonishing.

    Still...

    That was exactly what the customer had requested.

    As long as the client paid...

    Su Hao had no objections.

    That...

    Was professionalism.

    Before the woman left, Sister Bai handed her an anonymous contact number.

    "If any of your friends are interested..."

    "Feel free to introduce them."

    "As long as they're willing to pay..."

    "Everything is negotiable."

    The woman repeatedly nodded.

    "I definitely will!"

    Then she happily left.

    With that single transaction...

    The financial crisis of the Morning Sun Courtyard was finally over.

    Everyone knew that from now on...

    Their income would only continue increasing.


    ---

    Looking at Su Hao, both Sister Bai and Xiaotian now wore expressions identical to people staring at a money-printing machine.

    If possible...

    They almost wanted to carry him around all day.

    Seeing their expressions, Su Hao waved casually.

    "Remember to reserve eighty thousand yuan for me."

    Then he turned and left.

    To him...

    This was merely solving a logistical inconvenience.

    Nothing more.


    ---

    Two years quietly passed.

    Su Hao was now nine years old.

    Thanks to the enhancement provided by the Prophet evolution and his own astonishing learning ability, his reputation as a genius gradually spread throughout the Summoner Academy.

    Almost every teacher had heard the name—

    Bai Jingzhong.

    There were two reasons.

    The first...

    Was Fu Leyi.

    Originally, she had intended to keep things low-profile.

    Unfortunately...

    She simply couldn't help herself.

    Whenever teachers gathered together, she would unconsciously begin talking about her student.

    "My Bai Jingzhong..."

    "My Bai Jingzhong..."

    "My Bai Jingzhong..."

    She praised him endlessly.

    "Bai Jingzhong has already memorized all the information on Summoned Beasts."

    "He's practically a living encyclopedia."

    "He's only eight years old, yet he's already capable of influencing spatial rhythms."

    "His understanding of spatial structure has surpassed many senior students."

    "He'll probably complete his first summoning before he's even ten."

    After hearing these stories enough times...

    The entire faculty gradually accepted one fact.

    There truly was an extraordinary genius named Bai Jingzhong.

    The second reason...

    Was even simpler.

    Whenever senior students performed poorly, teachers would sigh and say,

    "You're not even as capable as Bai Jingzhong."

    Naturally...

    Many older students became dissatisfied.

    How could they accept being compared to a little child?

    So they challenged him.

    One after another.

    Unfortunately...

    Every single one was defeated.

    After being beaten by the small nine-year-old genius...

    No one questioned the teachers anymore.

    Whenever someone mentioned Bai Jingzhong afterward...

    The senior students would simply nod honestly.

    "Teacher is right."

    "He really is incredible."

    Videos of Su Hao defeating older students circulated briefly around the academy before being completely removed.

    The academy intentionally suppressed the news.

    After all...

    Geniuses also required protection.


    ---

    At this moment...

    The academy's greatest genius sat quietly before Fu Leyi, practicing mental cultivation.

    With his eyes closed...

    His consciousness gradually expanded.

    Countless invisible spiritual tendrils stretched outward from his spiritual body.

    Through those tendrils...

    He perceived an entirely different universe.

    There were distortions.

    Ripples.

    Cycles.

    Twisting geometric structures.

    Countless flowing points, lines, planes and solids intertwined into endlessly changing patterns.

    Everything possessed rhythm.

    Everything possessed order.

    Scattered throughout this strange world were countless white lights of varying sizes.

    According to Fu Leyi...

    Those white lights represented living beings.

    Su Hao found it difficult to describe what he was witnessing.

    It resembled an abstract painting.

    Or perhaps...

    A chaotic dream.

    It was completely detached from ordinary perception.

    Yet...

    His intuition told him this was equally real.

    A question naturally arose.

    If this was the true appearance of the universe...

    Then what were the mountains...

    The rivers...

    The forests...

    The oceans...

    And the stars he normally saw?

    Which was real?

    Or...

    Were both equally real?

    A realization gradually surfaced within him.

    The universe itself had never changed.

    Only the method by which observers perceived it was different.

    Different methods of observation naturally revealed different aspects of reality.

    Just as humans and animals perceived completely different worlds...

    Neither perception was false.

    Both simply represented different truths.


    ---

    Steadying his thoughts...

    Su Hao continued extending his spiritual tendrils.

    Following the rhythms flowing throughout space, they gradually spread farther and farther until they completely filled the surrounding region.

    This was the result of two years of uninterrupted training.

    Without the enhancement provided by the Prophet evolution and his exceptional mental strength...

    Achieving this level would have required at least another five years.

    Ordinary students only began learning mental cultivation in the fourth grade.

    They would spend the next six years gradually mastering spatial perception before finally attempting their first summoning at graduation.

    Compared to them...

    Su Hao's progress was astonishing.

    Only now did he truly appreciate how difficult becoming a Summoner really was.


    ---

    His spiritual tendrils continued advancing.

    Following the countless rhythms of space itself.

    Recalling Fu Leyi's guidance, Su Hao slowly adjusted his consciousness.

    Rather than resisting those rhythms...

    He synchronized with them.

    Then...

    He gently applied force.

    Tiny corrections.

    Minute adjustments.

    Allowing the spatial rhythms to accelerate naturally.

    This...

    Was the essence of manipulating space.

    Su Hao's concentration reached its absolute limit.

    The spatial structures before him moved faster and faster.

    At this stage...

    Even the slightest mistake would destroy everything, forcing him to begin again from the very beginning.

    Finally...

    When the rhythm reached a certain threshold...

    His consciousness seemed to pierce through an invisible boundary.

    Swoosh—

    Everything suddenly became incomparably clear.

    An entirely new world unfolded before Su Hao's spiritual perception.
