Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 525 - 21: Amplifying the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!
Chapter 525: Chapter 21: Amplifying the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!
Given the important status of Team Monks in Lu Country, Manager Yang claimed that at most, there would be some “non-lethal, temporary side effects,”—it clearly couldn’t be any sort of evasive lie—after all, if anything happened to Zhao Yuanzhen, Li Weiguo would definitely twist his head off.
Therefore, Yan Yu wasn’t worried about any safety risks and just calmly watched as the assistants applied various electrodes to Zhao Yuanzhen.
As for the method of Divine Sense Embodiment from his previous life, how the Assistant Officers cultivated it was something Yan Yu wasn’t clear about.
He was more familiar with Sword Immortals and Magic Cultivators.
The Sword-Body Union of Sword Immortals, essentially tests the level of swordsmanship, where one has to practice hard step by step without any shortcuts; similarly, for Magic Cultivators with Five Elements Body, it involves collecting elements from all around, which also requires grinding hard work.
But the Divine Sense Embodiment method of Assistant Officers apparently did not need such toils.
Manager Yang sat in front of the computer to calibrate the instruments, speaking to the microphone beside him:
“Please release your Divine Sense, and scan the entire room you are in.”
Zhao Yuanzhen did as asked, his Divine Sense making a round in the surroundings.
Yan Yu leaned over to see Manager Yang’s computer screen, and saw a line moving in a scanning motion within the radar circles on the screen.
“Is this Divine Sense?” Yan Yu asked.
“To be exact, no,” Manager Yang replied, “It’s just the magnetic field changes caused by the Divine Sense. Divine Sense is like an invisible and colorless wind; we can’t pinpoint it directly, and we can only determine its position through the movement of the leaves.”
“I see,” Yan Yu said, “So after locating it, what happens next?”
“Confirm the compatibility of the Magic Treasure’s Divine Sense with yours,” Manager Yang commanded into the microphone, “Magic Treasure in position.”
The assistants carried the Puppet Ami in, placing it directly in front of Zhao Yuanzhen.
“Scan your Magic Treasure with your Divine Sense,” Manager Yang said.
Zhao Yuanzhen did as told, and Yan Yu saw on the screen numerous lines converging towards the Puppet’s location.
“Her Divine Sense is very active,” Manager Yang said with a settled face, smiling at Yan Yu, “With such values, the experiment almost certainly can’t fail.”
“That’s good to hear,” Yan Yu nodded, “What’s next?”
“Electric shock,” Manager Yang said.
“Will it fry her brain?” Yan Yu asked.
“No! Of course not,” Manager Yang said with surprise, “In fact, there won’t even be pain, just a slight discomfort the participant might feel.”
“We think of Divine Sense as a dough, which can take any shape. The first step in the Divine Sense Embodiment method is to separate a small piece from the large dough; the dough can’t transform on its own, and thus needs external forces.”
“According to records, to split the Divine Sense, one must use True Yuan to make incisions within the Sea of Consciousness, which is like a doctor performing surgery on himself while lying on the operating table. The risk of complications is too high.”
“So we switch to electric shock,” Yan Yu realized.
“Exactly,” Manager Yang leaned into the microphone, “Prepare for electric shock, 3! 2! 1!”
Yan Yu immediately looked towards Zhao Yuanzhen. By now, she should have been electrified, but the Enchantress showed no expression on her face. Considering she couldn’t possibly be an insulator, the electric current strength must be very low—looking at her, there indeed seemed to be no sensation of pain.

“Why are you looking at me?” Zhao Yuanzhen said with her lips.
Yan Yu smiled slightly, only to hear Manager Yang say:
“Participant, do not let your mind wander. Continue to focus your Divine Sense on your Magic Treasure. Don’t move.”
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Yuanzhen quickly concentrated on scanning the Puppet again.
The corners of her mouth suddenly twitched oddly, as if she was trying to suppress a maniacal laugh.
“Stop!” Manager Yang immediately shouted.
Yan Yu hurried to the computer:
“What happened?”
“The splitting of the Divine Sense is already complete,” Manager Yang, staring at the computer, said with a trembling voice, “The separated part has also confirmed its residence on the Magic Treasure, very active, but…”
“Just?”
“This side effect encountered in the subject is something we’ve never seen before…”
Yan Yu looked at Zhao Yuanzhen again, and saw the Demonic Sect Enchantress still maintaining her smug smile with curled lips, saying:
“Hahaha! I’ve succeeded… What’s the matter?”
“Is the side effect maniacal laughter?” Yan Yu quietly asked Manager Yang.
Manager Yang had already started sweating. This was a cultivator from the Zhenhai Team, after all! A problem had arisen during his experiment, which was potentially fatal!
He had no time to explain to Yan Yu and merely said, “I’ll call someone,” before summoning the adjacent medical team.
——————————
“Haha, so what’s the deal?” Zhao Yuanzhen, sitting on the hospital bed, asked with a big laugh.
“The surgery was successful, but there are some side effects,” Yan Yu said indifferently. “Your emotions have been amplified.”
“Amplified?” Zhao Yuanzhen asked with a laugh.
“That is, for example, if you normally experience joy at a level of one, now because of the electric shock stimulating your Sea of Consciousness, the effect might be magnified to three or even four times,” Yan Yu explained.
“No wonder I feel so jubilant, hahaha!” Zhao Yuanzhen continued laughing wildly, “I’ve mastered the dharma method for housing Divine Sense. It was a breeze! I truly deserve it, hahahaha!!”
Yan Yu looked at her overjoyed appearance and turned to ask:
“When will this psychotic state end?”
“If she takes the calming drugs on schedule, she will definitely recover within two weeks,” Manager Yang, who had consulted the medical team, cautiously replied. “The Sea of Consciousness is different from the brain cortex; it has a strong ability to heal itself. It will surely adjust over time. Of course, we’ll also conduct regular follow-ups and adjust her treatment plan according to her specific situation. There won’t be any issues.”
“I see…” Yan Yu looked at the Enchantress again, who was still immersed in the euphoria of her “great accomplishment,” completely unaware that she had lost all control over her emotions.
Wait, does the Enchantress even have the ability to manage her emotions? Isn’t this numbskull always straightforward in her feelings, with emotions that come and go quickly?
“It seems it’s not a big problem,” Yan Yu declared conclusively.
Manager Yang’s face brimmed with an apologetic smile as he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called amplification of emotions essentially means that one becomes extremely emotional, with both the propensity to laugh and cry dropping significantly. For someone who is usually reserved and calm, such a change would definitely cause great trouble. Considering the Zhenhai Team’s importance, any complaint would certainly be seen as a serious incident.
Fortunately, Captain Yan said it was “not a big problem,” which likely meant he wouldn’t complain. Manager Yang thought he’d better report to his superiors quickly and skillfully describe the situation as “an issue caused by force majeure.”
“Let’s go,” Yan Yu said as he took Zhao Yuanzhen away, bidding farewell to the others.
Manager Yang hurriedly took out his phone and started making a call to report the situation, watching the two leave.
Not long after Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen left the base, Li Weiguo, who had heard the news, made a call and summoned them to Jinling.
“So what’s her condition?” Inside the president’s office, Li Weiguo looked at Zhao Yuanzhen, who was still laughing wildly, and asked with a frown.
“To put it simply,” Yan Yu replied, “an idiot has become a bigger idiot.”
“Your analogy is really…” Li Weiguo was at a loss for words for a moment before asking, “So it’s emotional amplification, right?”
“Correct,” Yan Yu stated. “They say she’ll recover within two weeks.”
“That said,” Zhao Yuanzhen was still laughing as she asked, “since it’s emotional amplification, that means the happiness from eating delicious food will also double, right?”
“That’s correct,” Yan Yu said nonchalantly. “However, the treatment plan from the research base advises that you should not eat or drink anything on the day of the electric shock.”
All at once, Zhao Yuanzhen’s smile vanished, quickly overtaken by endless fright, sorrow, and despair.
Her face turned ash-gray, her hands drooped lifelessly, and her body slumped down, huddled at Yan Yu’s feet as if all her will to live was lost, her mouth unwittingly opening and closing.
“Is this also part of the side effects?” Li Weiguo couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
“Yes,” said Yan Yu, looking at the desolate Enchantress who seemed to have lost her soul, but he couldn’t help laughing.
