Chapter 52: Methods of Cultivating Mental Power?
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 12:22:27 +0000 UTCIf Zhao Long wants to upgrade his soul to the limit of nine thousand years, his strength should not be underestimated.
It’s just that his fifth soul ring is not the most perfect, not that he lacks talent.
After years of forging, and with his martial soul being a hammer, he has also developed his hammer skills to a certain level.
With Zhao Long’s strength, he can hunt down a five thousand year old soul beast.
However, the five thousand year soul beasts in the intermediate soul-ascension platform are not everywhere, and they need to be searched for, and the fluctuations of the battle must be avoided to avoid attracting other powerful soul beasts, so hunting the five thousand year soul beasts is not safe enough for him.
If you want to hunt truly efficiently, three thousand years is the most cost-effective.
It can not only resolve the battle quickly, but also ensure that you have the energy to escape when other powerful soul beasts approach.
This is not the real world. The cost of death is within an affordable range, but dying once also means a spot on the intermediate spirit platform, which is not cheap, so it is better to save your life. Also, you cannot develop the habit of acting recklessly, otherwise you may lose your life when you encounter a crisis in reality.
Taking Xu Yuan’s existence into consideration, Zhao Long decided to hunt soul beasts that were more than 2,000 years old. Hunting one would increase Xu Yuan’s soul cultivation by 100 years.
You only need five to complete this mission.
Zhao Long’s efficiency is not high.
He was a blacksmith after all, and even though he had many experiences in hunting soul beasts, his skills were only steady, not efficient.
Fortunately Xu Yuan was not in a hurry.
The Soul Ascension Platform imitates the former Star Dou Great Forest. The primary Soul Ascension Platform imitates the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, while the intermediate Soul Ascension Platform imitates its outer layer. The oldest soul beasts encountered here are about six or seven thousand years old.
If it is a mixed layer, ten thousand year soul beasts will appear, which will only appear on the high-level soul-ascension platform. It is said that the production of each ten thousand year soul beast in the high-level soul-ascension platform consumes a lot of energy. Although hunting the ten thousand year soul beasts in the high-level soul-ascension platform cannot make the soul break through the ten thousand year barrier, it can continue to increase the age of the ten thousand year soul.
The maximum age is six or seven thousand years, but it does not mean that all the soul beasts in this intermediate soul-ascension platform are thousand-year-old soul beasts.
On the contrary, each thousand-year soul beast takes time to find.
Along the way, the two will also kill any hundred-year-old soul beasts they see.
No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.
Based on more than a day of hunting, Xu Yuan estimated that of the spiritual power needed for his dream demon soul to break through the thousand years, at least two hundred years would come from the hundred-year soul beast.
There’s no way, he’s too easy to kill.
Although Xu Yuan can’t kill Zhao Long the moment they meet, he can do it.
The hundred-year soul beast had no chance of escaping from Zhao Long’s hands. He severely injured it, and then gave Xu Yuan the finishing blow, which could be considered an instant kill.
The real waste of time Is the process of recovering soul power and searching.
“Wait!” Zhao Long stretched out his hand to stop Xu Yuan and protected him behind him.
Zhao Long looked alert, and Xu Yuan also felt something was wrong.
Although he has a strong mental talent, Xu Yuan is only seven years old, and his mental power value is only more than 500 points. It will increase a little after absorbing the dream demon soul, but it is obviously far behind Zhao Long.
After all, Zhao Long had also merged two thousand-year-old souls, and his mental power had undoubtedly reached the Spiritual Sea Realm. He had reached the Spiritual Sea Realm before he reached level 40, and now Zhao Long was already at level 58.
His mental strength also reached four digits.
In front of the two of them, a huge black shadow emerged.
“This is a giant ape!”
Looking at the tall black gorilla, Xu Yuan swallowed.
So big!
Of course, I was just frightened by its size.
The giant ape is huge in size and has outstanding strength, but it is clumsy in movement and has no special means of controlling elements, so it is quite easy to hunt it.
As a result, very few giant apes grew up.
“This ancient ape has been practicing for at least four thousand years. Do you want to come?” Zhao Long stared at the ancient ape with eager eyes.
Xu Yuan shook his head.
As Zhao Long had been hunting on this intermediate soul-ascension platform for two and a half days, his soul had already been promoted a long time ago. It was now close to one thousand four hundred years old, and he was very close to the limit. He planned to continue to improve steadily by relying on hundred-year-old soul beasts.
This ancient ape could directly provide more than two hundred years of cultivation. Xu Yuan’s mental strength was fine, but once he left the Spirit Ascension Platform, his body might have problems.
After the Qi and Blood Contract, Xu Yuan’s Qi and Blood training became easier, but he had only been practicing for seven days, and his physical strength had not yet improved.
“Okay, then you find a place where you won’t be affected by the battle, and help me keep watch on the surroundings.” Zhao Long stared at the ancient ape and instructed Xu Yuan at the same time.
The two and a half days of cooperation made Zhao Long realize Xu Yuan’s abilities, so he made this arrangement.
“Okay, Brother Long, be careful.”
Xu Yuan retreated quickly.
“roar!”
Seeing Xu Yuan’s actions, the ancient ape slapped its chest violently. The terrifying thumping sound mixed with the fluctuation of soul power made people’s blood boil. Fortunately, Xu Yuan and Zhao Long were both physically strong, so they were not affected too much.
The ancient ape roared to the sky, suddenly pulled up the big tree next to it, and swung it directly at Xu Yuan.
“Beast, your opponent is me!” Zhao Long roared, and a huge iron hammer appeared in his hand. The hammer was covered with purple lines and surrounded by wisps of lightning.
Boom!
The Soul-Calming Hammer collided with the tree, and the tree broke into pieces. Xu Yuan kept dodging the broken branches of the tree and staying away from the battlefield.
“What a shame. There’s nothing I can do. I’d better be cautious when it comes to spiritual ascension.”
Xu Yuan can be crazy and impulsive, but that is only when it involves his future limit. However, he can also keep calm when it comes to something as stable as spiritual ascension.
After watching the battle between the Soul King and the Ancient Ape, Xu Yuan’s heart was filled with emotion.
The power of a soul master is by no means limited to the mysterious floor tiles mentioned in the jokes in the previous life.
Even if it’s just floor tiles, this is fantasy!
After killing the ancient ape, Zhao Long also wanted to take a rest. Since Xu Yuan was only short of a few hundred-year-old soul beasts, he told Zhao Long and went to look for him on his own.
Three hours later.
After Xu Yuan upgraded the dream demon’s soul to about 1,500 years old, he stopped killing soul beasts.
At this point, he took the initiative to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.
As for staying inside to look for soul beasts and hone combat skills, it is completely meaningless. Xu Yuan can do all of this in the Soul Fighting Arena and the Colosseum after returning to Shrek.
Blacksmiths Guild.
“It’s quite efficient. It was done in just three days.” Mu Ye said in surprise.
“Brother Long is very powerful, so it won’t be too easy to hunt him.” Xu Yuan laughed.
“Well, how many years will it be raised to?”
“One thousand five hundred years.”
“It’s okay. This is the limit of your body’s endurance for now. You may be able to hold on to go higher, but there’s no need.” Mu Ye nodded and took Xu Yuan to the rooftop.
“Since you are going to major in the brain martial soul next, it is time to teach you some methods of cultivating mental power.” Mu Ye brought Xu Yuan to the rooftop and mentioned the methods of cultivating mental power.
“A method to cultivate spiritual power?”
