Chapter 252 Huge Increase In Mental Power

Ou Yangming’s conception slowly awoke from being in an endless feeling of comfort, and he only realized what exactly happened when his soul finally returned.

He was completely immersed in the great pleasure that he did not have his guard up against the outside world. If anyone wanted to harm him during the moment, he could be easily killed by the most ordinary military saber.

Moreover, his sea of consciousness could not fully accommodate the lights released by the Devouring attribute. After the largest portion, which was the withstandable amount, was absorbed, the rest was released outside.

Although Ou Yangming did not know what the consequence would be, he was certain that the outside world underwent some unusual change, but he did not know what it was.

His head pounded hard for a while before he took a deep breath and eventually calmed down.

Since he had learned his lesson, he would remember not to do it again in the future.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up when he sensed the change in his body. He rubbed his hands to release the Appraisal Light once more. [Race: Human)

53

His integrated mental power suddenly became 53 Points while his basic mental power was 51 Points.

In other words, his mental power increased by 8 Points after the crystal ball was devoured, and he managed to get past the 50-Point hurdle.

8 Points of mental power was a huge difference in value.

The further one was on the cultivation path, the harder it would be for one to improve. It was also worth noting that it would be tougher to upgrade one’s mental power than one’s martial arts.

Given that Ou Yangming set up a Runes Formation in his sea of consciousness, his mental power was very much triggered. On top of that, he always cultivated and had advanced in martial arts, which was why his mental power increased by 2 Points.

Now, the power was increased by 8 Points after a crystal ball was devoured. The gain was enough to make him content.

Besides, Ou Yangming had a vague feeling that he had not fully benefited from it yet. This was because an 8-Points increment was the withstandable limit for him at the moment, and for all he knew, he might suffer a counter-effect if he continued.

Once Ou Yangming’s mental power became much greater, he curbed his thought and entered the indescribable and wonderful realm again.

As he observed through his consciousness, he noticed many nodes that went with the flow in the world. The nodes were not equally distanced from each other, and they were constantly changing. The world was filled with nodes like that.

Ou Yangming reached out his hand abruptly, and the edges of his palm were attached with greater mental power.

“Woosh…”

When he successfully sliced his palm at a node, he was moved, and he experienced an upsurge of insuppressible excitement.

It became easier.

He could clearly feel that the difficulty for him to do this became much lower.

Whether he was searching for nodes or slicing through the resistance, they became more straightforward.

It previously felt like he was slicing the node with his bare hands, but this time, it felt like he did it with a knife. The knife was not sharp and might even have a few notches, but it was much better than using only the palm.

Ou Yangming’s mental conception hotly pursued the nodes. He exerted force along the connecting line between the nodes, where he sliced according to the strange curvy line and finally reached the next node.

He did it. This was his first time completing the basic movement smoothly.

Sure enough, the increase in his mental power resulted in an unmatched advantage.

Before this, Ou Yangming was like a half-grown teen, who was learning the way to maneuver a meteor hammer. The hammer’s weight could not be withstood by a teen, such that he could be hurt if he used it.

However, the teen had now grown into a burly man. Therefore, even though a meteor hammer was not light, he could already toss it around.

The teen and the burly man were learning the same skill, but there was a huge disparity between them.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming sensed that the carriage had stopped. He also vaguely heard the cavaliers shouting.

‘Looks like today’s practice comes to an end,’ he thought and sighed.

As expected, he later heard Hu Yicheng’s voice.

“Young Ou, we’ve arrived at the inn, so let’s have dinner together.”
