Chapter 676: Chapter 233: A surge in mental power, this battle has all eyes on it! (8333 words) _4
 

Lame man rolled his eyes: “The problem is, he doesn’t know how to use it himself.”

Blind man: “That’s true.”

Lame man said: “I’ll go talk to Li Mu about it.”

“Tang Country is so big and the strongest country on Blue Star, I don’t believe he can’t find a few soul-type Guardian Beasts.”

“Only if he can get them…”

“The more, the better!”

Lame man’s voice still echoed in the void, but he had already disappeared.

Blind man also stood up: “I’ll go check on Little Skeleton.”

“If we could find a way to control that power, we wouldn’t need to go anywhere else to find soul-type Guardian Beasts.”

After the blind man left, Chen Fan closed his eyes again.

Contracting more soul-type Guardian Beasts with powerful mental strength is indeed a good way to improve your psychic power.

But this method is still no match for beast-raising.

Get System Energy through beast-raising, and then use System Energy to improve your psychic power.

Three days have passed since returning from the 5th Restricted Area.

And after saving Yun Canghai and the others, he had slept for another day in the Beastmaster’s Space.

Four days have passed, and there should be a lot of system energy now.

Chen Fan looked towards the system panel…

[System Credit]: 6852569

[Host]: Chen Fan

[Level]: Grade 5 Heavenly Realm 2

[Star Power]: 31569 calories+

[Mental Strength]: 2536 Hz+

[Soul Meridian]: 17+

[Life and Death Integration]: 12%+

685W…

Chen Fan casually opened the details for a look.

Among these energies, the biggest contributors were still Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang.

Next were Chu Xuan and Ye Hao.

It’s a pity that those materials haven’t arrived yet, otherwise, if we raised Yun Canghai’s other Guardian Beasts a bit more, the System Energy should still be able to increase a lot.

High-level Guardian Beasts harvest far more System Energy than lower-level ones.

Chen Fan looked at the 685W System Energy and fell silent for a moment.

If it were used to open the Soul Veins, there would still be a lot left after breaking through to the Fifth Grade Third Layer with this much System Energy.

But breaking through to the Fifth Grade Fourth Layer is probably impossible.

The higher you go in cultivation, the more difficult it gets.

Chen Fan now leans more towards improving his mental strength.

On one hand, he had run out of mental strength twice in the 5th Restricted Area, leaving him with some psychological shadows, and he hoped to improve his mental strength as soon as possible;

On the other hand, “Demon King’s Whisper” is so powerful that it’s almost outrageous, with its mysterious and unpredictable power, that if there is enough mental strength to support it, its power might even surpass that of the “Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade”!

The “Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade” is indeed strong, but its attack range is limited.

And it still needs to strike the enemy.

“Demon King’s Whisper” is different; its attack range is much bigger.

Moreover, it’s deployed without anyone knowing!

Most importantly…

This move counters the strongmen of Demons and Nightmare Hall!

Perhaps now with the “Demon King’s Whisper”, he can’t kill ordinary Seventh Realm people.

But against a Level 35 Demon comparable to the peak of the Seventh Rank, it’s effortless!

The power demonstrated by the “Demon King’s Whisper” seemed to show Chen Fan a whole new world.

“Use it to add some mental strength…”

Chen Fan took a deep breath and made up his mind.

In the short term, the benefits of improving mental strength are far greater than breaking through to the Fifth Grade Third Layer.

With his current cultivation, Chen Fan can’t kill a Fifth-Grade Fifth Layer Peak just by using Star Power alone without resorting to the Heaven-severing Demon Sword or the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade.

Even if he could, it wouldn’t be easy.

But if he uses his mental strength, killing a Fifth-Grade Fifth Layer Peak will be much simpler.

His current mental strength has already reached the level of the Sixth Stage Fourth Level Heaven.

Sixth Stage Fourth Level Heaven’s mental strength might not be enough to kill a Sixth Grade Second Layer.

But against the Fifth Grade Fifth Layer and lower-level Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, it’s like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.

That’s why, when helping Yun Canghai raise the Crying Demon, Chen Fan considered replicating the Crying Demon’s mental skills.

But since those skills can wait a bit longer, he temporarily put aside that idea.

Blackie’s “Mental Spike,” Soul Nurturing Wooden Spirit’s “Mind Control,” and Crying Demon’s other skills are all-powerful mental attack skills.

Which one should he choose?

Chen Fan wanted to laugh a bit…

Why choose?

I want them all!

Although he already has the unspeakably powerful skill “Demon King’s Whisper,” Chen Fan still doesn’t want to miss out on Mental Spike and Mind Control.

Now there’s not enough System Energy, let’s wait a bit.

Blackie’s non-lethal “Mental Spike” may not match up to the “Demon King’s Whisper,” but it’s a simple and rough control skill.

“Demon King’s Whisper” consumes too much mental strength.

But skills like Mental Spike and Mind Control don’t consume much mental strength.

Chen Fan plans to wait for a while and then copy all those skills over.

As for now…

Let’s improve his mental strength first.

Chen Fan clicked on the plus sign after the 2536 Hz.

[Do you want to consume 20000 System Energy to improve by 1 Hz of mental strength? To confirm, please click Yes!]

Chen Fan furrowed his brow.

He seemed to remember that it didn’t take so much System Energy to improve mental strength before.

Improving by 1 Hz takes 20,000 System Energy…
