"Transcendents... have appeared a long time ago. In order to maintain order, the council chose to conceal the truth from the public. But as time passed, it became increasingly difficult to hide."

"After the establishment of the 'Deep Sea' network, East Continents officially established the Judgment Hall and began to recruit unaffiliated Transcendents... Due to permission reasons, I won't go into detail about this part."

"Sister???"

"There are some things that you shouldn't know for now. All you need to know is that the Judgment Hall has two main tasks. One is to detain 'Transcendent Outbursts', and the other is to collect 'Transcendent Seals'."

Luo Er extended a hand.

Above her palm, there was an invisible flow of air, dispersing into particles and making a whistling sound like tearing paper.

"Until now, we still can't explain what exactly Transcendent power is... Nature has its own laws and rules, and it is a power of 'destruction', 'disregard', and 'trespass' against order."

"Because of the existence of this power, many truths are no longer true."

"For example... a broken mirror cannot be mended."

Luo Er looked to the side.

"Crash—"

The huge glass mirror at the end of the training ground instantly shattered, like mercury flowing, and the moment after Sister Luo's words fell, the countless shards flowed back and neatly pieced the mirror together.

"For example... spilled water cannot be gathered."

A water pipe suddenly burst, and water splashed out like a fountain.

The next moment.

Time flowed backward, and the scattered water droplets gathered into a column of water, compressing inch by inch. The burst pipe was repaired to its original state, swallowing all the splashed water, and all the noise disappeared, leaving only the quiet yet surging sound of water underground.

A miracle.

This was a supernatural phenomenon that ordinary people couldn't understand.

And the one who caused it all just moved his finger and said a few words, casually drinking tea.

Everything happened.

And yet, it seemed like nothing happened.

"According to current information, anyone, regardless of age, has the possibility of 'Transcendent Awakening'. Awakened individuals possess powerful abilities, but they also face the risk of 'losing control'... This is the greatest crisis you will face in this assessment due to the fire incident. The council will not allow a monster like you to exist with the possibility of losing control."

Losing control...

Gu Shen suddenly thought of his initial encounter.

A-009 was a 'Transcendent Outburst'. According to Mr. Shu's information, many years ago, she was a normal member of the Ancient Literature Society.

Because of contact with A-009, coupled with the fire incident, was it possible that he would also lose control?

"So the first lesson you need to learn is control."

Control Transcendent power?!

He was just an ordinary person. How could he control this nonexistent power?

As Gu Shen heard this, he became deeply worried... The Judgment Hall didn't know that the scene of his Transcendent Awakening was actually created by the 'Ruler of Truth'. According to Sister Luo's previous words, it should be a Transcendent Seal.

The Judgment Hall was responsible for detaining Transcendent Outbursts and containing the Seals... They should fear the destruction that could be caused if both were left uncontrolled. If the Ruler of Truth fell into the wrong hands, it could potentially lead to a catastrophe.

"Mr. Gu Changzhi, the highest seat of the council, once said that the relationship between the mind and the body is the foundation of all cultivation. Both are like water and a bowl, one side needs to be strong while the other needs to keep up. Those who lose control are because of an imbalance between the two, and to completely eliminate it from the root... one must first work on the body."

Gu Changzhi... a name that still resounded in the hearts of many people in East Continents.

He was a hero admired and worshipped by the people twenty years ago. He became famous at a young age, with remarkable achievements. However, he hasn't been seen for a long time.

Gu Shen asked, "Is he also involved with the Judgment Hall?"

"Of course. The establishment of the Judgment Hall was closely related to Mr. Gu Changzhi." Sister Luo said softly, "Our teacher received a lot of support from him, including something very important... It can help you control your Transcendent power."

She seemed to be thinking of a way to describe it.

The word 'something' was not quite appropriate.

But there was no more suitable word than that.

"Is it... a Seal?" Gu Shen asked curiously.

"No." Sister Luo shook her head.

"I'll show it to you, and then you'll know." She extended a finger and touched Gu Shen's forehead.

Buzz—

The entire training ground fell silent in an instant.

The sound of wind, water, and buzzing insects were infinitely amplified. The whole world was in a contradictory state of extreme silence and extreme noise. Gu Shen felt a surge of drowsiness, and his eyelids felt as heavy as lead. He was falling downward, but into a soft cloud.

Was he being hypnotized? He couldn't fall asleep like this!

In the blink of an eye, Gu Shen struggled. He tried to keep himself awake.

But... it was useless.

The force that pulled him into the dream was too powerful, and he couldn't resist it at all.

...

...

"He's fallen asleep."

At a critical moment, Nanjin reached out and caught the falling young man, supporting him and placing him on a chair at the edge of the training ground. Gu Shen lowered his head and fell into a deep sleep, breathing heavily.

"He's not simple. He actually struggled for a moment."

Sister Luo smiled. "Seems like he's a boy with secrets, but... I'm not interested in his little secret."

"I still remember when I first joined the Judgment Hall, I only received an A-level evaluation."Luo Er fell into reminiscence, chuckling lightly, "As a consolation, the teacher showed me 'Hibernation', and I actually slept for a full eight hours in that dream... The fastest person that year only took two and a half hours."

"Sister..."

"The person you're talking about is Han Dang, right? He can't be compared to you—"

Zhong Wei spoke solemnly, "In that dream, you not only finished reading 'Hibernation', but also completely imprinted it. In the entire Tribunal, to this day, no second person has been able to do this."

The spiritual dream carrying 'Hibernation' could not be described in words, nor could it be replicated by technical means.

To comprehend it, one had to borrow the original imprint left by Gu Changzhi in the Tribunal. To apply for viewing, one needed certain permissions, qualifications, and contributions.

But there are always exceptions.

"So... our 'Hibernation' was taught by Sister Luo through a dream. The teacher has never used the original imprint of the Tribunal again."

Nanjin showed a sudden realization.

Sister Luo had actually completely replicated the Hibernation dream.

She frowned and said, "Han Dang... this name sounds familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"Zhu Wang's proud disciple, known as the 'Smiling Tiger', has a perverse personality and is unpredictable. His teacher, Zhu Wang, has always coveted the position of the chief judge." Zhong Wei said irritably, "The meeting to impeach the teacher this time was initiated by them. Only when the teacher steps down can Zhu Wang take his place. Because of the use of the amnesty order, they have caught a handle... If nothing unexpected happens, they will keep a close eye on Gu Shen's review."

Nanjin was thoughtful.

In terms of qualifications, fame, and strength, Zhu Wang was one of the few big figures in the Tribunal who could confront the teacher. However, the two had always been at odds, never meeting or cooperating, and their disciples also had a subtle sense of confrontation and division.

The line of Mr. Shu had Sister Luo as the figurehead.

And the leader of Zhu Wang's line was Han Dang.

"The online meeting last night was intense."

"Gu Shen's case has attracted too much attention, and some people with ulterior motives are just looking for a place to vent." Zhong Wei sighed, "Last night's meeting decided to review Gu Shen in Dateng City. I don't know if Han Dang will make trouble."

"Soldiers will block, water will cover."

Sister Luo waved her hand and said, "Han Dang is nothing. Let's not tell Gu Shen about his affairs, so as not to put too much pressure on him."

"Mmm..."

Both of them nodded in agreement.

"By the way," Nanjin asked curiously, "How long did it take for Brother to finish reading 'Hibernation'?"

"Four hours and nine minutes, ten minutes slower than you." Zhong Wei laughed, "Those who are qualified to read 'Hibernation' in the Tribunal can all be called geniuses. For non-mental Transcendents, as long as they can finish reading and leave the dream within twelve hours, it is considered a success."

"For you guys, four hours is already a very good result."

Sister Luo fell into reminiscence, sighed softly, and said, "I later learned that the reading time of 'Hibernation' is related to mental potential. At that time, reading 'Hibernation' was also a test. If you could finish reading within 2 hours, the teacher would let the Tribunal add an S-level evaluation... If I didn't choose to imprint, I would have finished."

"Sister, you've always been a powerhouse comparable to S-level in my heart." Zhong Wei grinned, "I'm not flattering, I'm serious!"

"S or not S... these evaluations are not important now."

Luo Er smiled and looked at the young man slumped on the bench, asking, "What do you think, how long will it take for Gu Shen to finish reading 'Hibernation'?"
