Changes in Mental Perception

The sudden surge in proficiency in mental perception, leading to a preliminary mastery of the skill, was an unexpected and delightful surprise.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. A 1000-point increase in mental strength is a qualitative change from a quantitative one. Mental perception relies on mental strength, which is the essence. When the essence is improved, the skill will naturally improve as well.

With a thought, Chen Mo released his spiritual perception.

The range of his mental perception immediately appeared in his mind, measuring 124 meters in radius based on himself!

It increased by a whopping 120 meters!

This is indeed a qualitative improvement!

When one's mental strength exceeds one thousand, a qualitative change occurs. Although no one told Chen Mo this, he naturally knew it from his own experience.

By using his mental power in the training room, Chen Mo also became clear about his mental power capabilities. He could pass through ordinary walls and glass, but could only sense them like infrared.

As for the alloy gate and alloy wall, they are difficult to penetrate with mental energy. He can only penetrate a few centimeters, but the alloy gate and alloy wall are at least ten centimeters thick.

To say that one can penetrate alloys actually involves infusing one's mental energy into the process; simply put, it's about using the power of a sword.

Only when one's mental strength is strong enough can one penetrate the alloy door and alloy wall.

His spirit will continue to grow, so he naturally won't worry about this issue.

Next, he began to try to lift heavy objects with his mind. After trying, he could lift 10 kilograms within a three-meter radius, and 1 kilogram within a 62-meter radius. Beyond 62 meters, he could no longer lift heavy objects.

Through the experiment, he learned what was going on.

The distance beyond half the range of mental perception is reached by the radiation of mental energy, and can only be perceived like infrared, without any other operations.

In other words, the range of mental power coverage is only 62 meters.

Although the distance was halved, Chen Mo was not disappointed. Within 62 meters, he could lift a one-kilogram object and unleash a barrage of throwing knives.

An ordinary alloy throwing knife weighs only a hundred or two hundred grams, and at most it won't weigh more than a kilogram.

If it were a flying needle, it would be even lighter.

Therefore, he can use his mental power to control flying needles or knives to kill enemies or hunt ferocious beasts.

"Psychic warrior!"

The name popped into Chen Mo's mind; he had seen a similar name in novels in his previous life.

Psychic martial artists are extremely rare and virtually invincible; their ranged attack methods are impossible to defend against.

Moreover, Chen Mo has now mastered the sword technique. If he integrates the sword technique into his throwing knives, the destructive power of his ranged attacks will definitely be off the charts!

Now, Chen Mo had the means to protect himself and the means to hunt ferocious beasts.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any throwing knives or needles with him, otherwise he would have liked to try them out.

Unable to try it himself, Chen Mo had no choice but to pick up the longsword and test the power of the blade.

The test subject was, naturally, the latest type of alloy training dummy.

Chen Mo activated the training dummy and switched it to the damage-bearing mode.

With a thought, he added a bit of spiritual power to the longsword and slashed fiercely at the alloy dummy.

"when!"

The two collided.

Chen Mo sheathed his sword and stared at the display on the chest of the alloy dummy, where numbers were flashing.

"1892 kilograms!"

A 10% increase in strength doesn't significantly improve armor penetration.

This number is twice his base strength plus 10%.

Because Chen Mo's basic swordsmanship has reached perfection, his moves amplify power by 2 times. The ultimate realm does not amplify power further; it relies on integrating spiritual power to amplify power and create armor-piercing effects.

"One point increases power by 10%, two points by 20%, and ten points by 100%. Following this pattern, all of my mental energy can be amplified by 124 times."

"Holy crap! 124 times, that's 213280 kilograms! A whopping 213 tons! Isn't that invincible?"

Chen Mo could hardly believe that he could unleash such power.

His heart raced instantly, pounding like a runaway rabbit.

Chen Mo's entire body was trembling, his face flushed, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

He gasped for breath, his chest heaving wildly like a bellows, trying to calm himself down with deep breaths, but to little avail.

The voice in his head told him that he was about to become invincible!

Once this thought popped into his head, he could never suppress it. It made him feel like he was invincible now and was about to rush out and slay the ferocious beasts!

Reason told him he couldn't just go through the motions, so to calm himself down, Chen Mo slapped himself hard.

The pain brought him back to his senses.

"It hasn't even been verified yet, what are you talking about being invincible! Even if it can unleash 213 tons of force, so what?"

"Which of the ten strongest warriors of the Great Xia Kingdom isn't capable of splitting mountains and severing rivers, burning the sky and boiling the sea?"

"Even a warrior-level ferocious beast could destroy Jiangbei City. A single move from it could shatter a building. 213 tons of force wouldn't even be enough to tickle it!"

Thinking of the ferocious beasts, advanced martial artists, martial arts masters, and grand martial arts masters in the documentary, Chen Mo instantly calmed down.

I am still very weak.

213 tons of force is nothing at all.

Moreover, it appears that he was only speculating based on the results of an experiment, which is different from the actual situation.

Next, Chen Mo tested it according to the plan, and as he had calculated, it increased his mental strength by 10% for every point he put in.

That wasn't all. When his mental strength reached 100, the armor-piercing effect became obvious, and the power he unleashed doubled again, splitting the alloy dummy in two.

"Oh no, the alloy dummy is broken!"

Seeing the alloy dummy split in two without self-repair, Chen Mo covered his face.

"If I had known, I would have only chopped off one hand or foot. Splitting it in half from top to bottom has ruined it."

"I heard this alloy dummy is worth tens of millions; we can't afford to pay for it!"

Chen Mo squatted down and pried at the alloy dummy, trying to put the two together to see if he could activate the alloy dummy's self-repairing ability.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Mo released his grip, and the alloy dummy separated again, indicating it was real.

Driven by curiosity, Chen Mo began to examine the internal structure of the alloy dummy.

Inside the alloy dummy were many things he couldn't understand, resembling circuit boards or arrays, with many runes he couldn't decipher.

Soon, he discovered something he recognized—a ferocious beast core!

Only elite-level ferocious beasts can produce ferocious beast cores.

The Beast Core is the core of a Beast's energy, similar to a martial artist's dantian. Rare Beast Cores also have different attributes.

For example, the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as wind, thunder, lightning, light, darkness, and so on.

After killing the ferocious beast, its core will not disappear and can be extracted and used.

Through research, martial artists have developed various applications to enhance themselves or transform the power of machines in various ways.

The ferocious beasts, on the other hand, brutally devoured it to strengthen themselves.

Beast cores with attributes belong to beasts with special abilities; these beasts are rarer and more powerful.

These ferocious beast cores are extremely expensive and often unavailable.

Clearly, the beast core that provides energy to the alloy dummy is just an ordinary beast core.
