Chapter 237 Discovering the Whole Truth 11 (1/2)

This time he would not have the opportunity to fight them properly either because he was much stronger than them, even though those who cultivated mental energy were usually stronger than those who cultivated qi, this was not true in the case of Zhang Yi who had the essence of the phoenix flame.

Even if they were on the same level, Zhang Yi would also have the mental energy to fight toe-to-toe if that was the case, but it was interesting for him to see how people with mental energy fought since he used it the way that was simpler for him.

It was interesting to see how they used mental energy by creating shields around them to defend themselves, they tried to attack the opponent's mind, they created mental energy arrows to attack as Zhang Yi had already done.

Best of all, they had more freedom to use the laws in attacks without needing a sword or spear to make the attacks stronger or even martial techniques that were difficult to master for normal warriors.

With an advanced mastery of some law and the freedom that mental energy gave to use the laws, the disciples just had to think of the best ways to make the most of the attacks using the laws.

It was all that Zhang Yi already did on instinct and much more naturally with the help of his special eyes, the techniques of these disciples took a long time to activate and those of Zhang Yi were much faster.

But Zhang Yi could understand that it was because they were only in the tenth realm of mental energy, he remembered how the Sword Sect elder who had the eleventh realm of mental energy could attack much more naturally because he had learned more about mental energy.

So when Zhang Yi got stronger in cultivating his mental energy he would use it even more skillfully because of his special eyes, so he would always have an advantage over normal mental energy cultivators.

Warriors who cultivated mental energy also had an advantage because their mental energy was greater in quantity and was always pure unlike the qi of warriors who used cultivation resources to accelerate cultivation speed.

In the next phase, Zhang Yi faced one of the warriors who used mental energy and used his speed to attack before the enemy could create any barrier or shield and thus easily won.

If there was a disadvantage that a warrior who cultivated mental energy might have was that because they were not good at using qi and martial techniques, they could not use movement techniques well and were, therefore, slower than their opponents.

In a fight between warriors of the soul refinement realm or emptiness realm this difference could be ignored in a fight, but against skilled warriors like Zhang Yi this was fatal and after the emperor's realm, it became even more apparent.

Even so, 5 other mental energy-cultivating warriors would qualify for the next phase among the top 8, if they had Zhang Yi they would be 6 mental energy-cultivating warriors.

This was not unexpected for cult elders because for someone to be participating in this tournament with mental energy in the tenth realm, this warrior would already be a genius among the other disciples because everyone knew how cultivating mental energy was difficult.
