Chapter 116: The Mind is Endless (1/2)

The mind is endless.

It was a sentence that Jake liked saying.

Those four words represented the potential the mind held. They represented a subtle change in one's mindset that can transform their entire mind.

This could be better understood by recognizing the feat that Nico just performed.

Despite his energy reserve being depleted, Nico had forcefully created a pseudo one and used it to power his attack.

It had to be known that, normally, depleted energy reserves entailed that one would lack sufficient energy in their body.

They would then be like [Realm-1] cultivators who have to absorb [Spirit Essence] then release it immediately. This would, in turn, stop them from unleashing the full power of their techniques.

However, Nico had broken apart that concept.

He had scavenged a new energy reserve, despite draining his first one. It was definitely not normal.

What was more abnormal was the fact that he should be in a state of deficit right now, but he wasn't.

He was still able to use his physical body to fight.

This strange experience was the manifestation of the mind!

Following the change in his mindset, he had begun to think differently, he had unconsciously blocked his pain receptors and awakened his increasing factor.

Not only that, increase in intelligence, sharpening of the six senses, decreased morality. He had them all.

They were always in his body, but when his mind changed….when he ”evolved”, he managed to hold those hidden abilities in his hand.

Especially, the most absurd of them all; the blocking of his pain receptors.

It seemed to have aligned with his previous statement which mocked everything as being a joke.

That would mean nothing was ever serious or real, there were just jokes, a laughing joke.

So, when he received pain, he would scoff at it as being a joke, unconsciously blocking his pain receptors, something even stronger cultivators can't do!

It was the advantage of an evolved mind.

This was usually present on evil-aligned individuals, a path that Nico seemed to be walking to.

However, all kinds of individuals can display an ability that their mindset grants them. It doesn't have to be obvious, some of them can be subtle.

..........

The ten masked men watched as their horde of zombies got snuffed out, one by one.

Most of the [Gray Eye Zombies] were already dead and those that were still alive were about to die.

This made it possible for the remaining few of the group to finish off the rest of the horde.

Yet, none of the masked men were particularly shocked.

It had been part of their plans to thin down the forces, and they had achieved that spectacularly.

This could be seen as only there were only thirteen(13) cultivators left, none of the normal people survived!

After the last of the zombies were killed, the masked men walked gallantly to the tired group.

They said no words as they positioned themselves in front of the group, blocking them from escaping further.

”Who are you?” a soldier from the group asked them.

The masked men didn't recognize him, but judging from his army dress style, they had marked him as a knight-captain.
