When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 144: Chapter 132: Psychic Attack_2

They walked along the school's path and then to the lakeside where they had casually chatted the other day.

"Many system abilities rely on spiritual power, such as the major categories of systems related to 'Mind Reading System' and 'Charming System.' You have spiritual power defense, but you lack the means for spiritual attack. I don't know if you can cultivate it, but I'll guide you, and how much you can learn depends on you,"

Elder Luo leaned against the pavilion's railing, gazing at the tranquil lake surface. Seemingly without any movement, an invisible ripple suddenly spread out from him, merging with the lake water.

Humm!

Suddenly, the lake water roiled with bubbles emerging, followed by several "plop plop" sounds, as countless carp floated to the surface, belly up, appearing to be stunned.

"Incredible!"

Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up!

He could see Elder Luo's system, and this type of spiritual power attack was not given by any of Elder Luo's system abilities, but purely through his own spiritual fluctuations, forcibly stunning the fish.

"This kind of remote spiritual attack is very effective against crucial people or desolate beasts, such as Meng Huai, who can only appear in dreams. Of course, your spiritual defense is strong, so they might not drag you into a dream, but if you encounter a team member in the wilderness entangled by Meng Huai, you must actively go into the dream to save them, and at that time, it would be difficult to manage without brute force in the dream,"

Elder Luo explained.

"I understand, so how should I cultivate?"

Xiang Beifei really didn't know how Elder Luo had managed this, which was also his shortcoming. Others had system assistance, possessing various cultivation techniques, but he needed to learn on his own, trying to make up for any potential weaknesses.

"Actually, spiritual power is also a type of spiritual power; it just transforms spiritual power in your brain into another form. Therefore, you need to guide this spiritual power through meditation, using your own thoughts," pointed out Elder Luo, pointing at Xiang Beifei's head, "You can try to imagine."

"Imagine?"

"Imagine that you can make it move out of thin air. Originally, I just stared at a piece of paper, thinking in my mind, move... move... move... and then it started moving."

Elder Luo chuckled.

How does it sound like self-hypnosis?

Xiang Beifei stared at Elder Luo's system interface, [Spiritual Power: 732], and grinned wryly, thinking, 'Are you sure it's not just system enhancements?'

But on second thought, Elder Luo's system enhancements only increase the intensity of one ability, not create it.

Meaning, Elder Luo adjusted his spiritual intensity to 732, which just means the intensity of his spiritual attack is 732. But if his spiritual power is not trained to the point of external projection, even if the spiritual attack intensity is adjusted to 56 million, it won't be able to be exerted.

It's like loading an ammunition that can cause 56 million points of destruction into a tank, but without learning the operating procedures of the tank, not knowing how to fire it, that powerful ammunition would just rot in the chamber as a dud.

Thus, Elder Luo also needs to initially learn a skill before he can use the system to enhance the power of that skill.

"You don't need to deal with the carp in the lake; just try to float these melon seed shells in mid-air. Concentrate fully on the melon seed shells, gathering your spiritual power in your brain, try to decompose it into something intangible and ethereal, let it dissipate around, and then gather it back, finally directing the spiritual power towards one direction,"

Elder Luo turned his gaze back to the carp in the lake, another wave emanating from his body.

Humm!

The carp, belly up on the lake surface, were reawakened, righting themselves and sinking back into the water.

"When you first learn spiritual power, I suggest you try by enhancing your senses. Do you have any system items that enhance senses?" Elder Luo asked.

Xiang Beifei shook his head. Last time, Uncle Lu did give him a Spiritual Perception Pill, but he had integrated it to light up a constellation.

"Then you crack this melon seed, and I'll guide you first. Next time, you must learn to try on your own. You have to understand something, even without the appropriate sensory items, you can enhance your senses with spiritual power," Elder Luo put a red melon seed into Xiang Beifei's hand.

This red melon seed was quite special, acquired by Elder Luo from his own shop using 50 leisure value.

"Can I also enhance my senses?"

Xiang Beifei had never considered this question before. He cracked open the red seed and then ate it.

"Of course, for instance, the Smelling Pill. This pill, after you take it, transforms into a special spiritual power that hovers above your nose, making your perception more acute. However, if you wish to learn, you can enhance your smelling ability through your own spiritual power, though the result won't be as effective as the system's items,"

Elder Luo explained.

System items are, after all, a convenient method, highly targeted, and easy to use, much easier than figuring it out on your own. It's like climbing a hundred-story building: you'd have to take the stairs, but the system instantly provides an elevator or a helicopter.

There are some aspects in which system items can achieve what people can through cultivation, but it's much harder for people.

"Understood."

Shortly after Xiang Beifei cracked the seed, he quickly felt a surge of spiritual power not belonging to him within his body.

Elder Luo extended a finger and wiggled it. The spiritual power inside Xiang Beifei was drawn to his eyes. At that moment, Xiang Beifei's vision underwent a remarkable change; it felt as if his eyes had become microscopes.

In his view, every texture of the seed shell became clearly visible!

The strangest thing was that his vision comprised only the seed shell; he couldn't see any other scenery.

"This is a method to enhance vision. I've adjusted your perception to focus on the seed shell. Remember the spiritual power I guided inside your body. In the future, you can also try to guide it using your own spiritual power. Of course, you can learn to block out your other senses, such as—"

Elder Luo flicked his finger again, and the foreign spiritual power moved into Xiang Beifei's ears in a very subtle manner. In an instant, the world became silent, devoid of any sound.

Xiang Beifei marveled at Elder Luo's control of spiritual power, which seemed effortlessly capable of blocking his perceptions.

"I should be able to learn this method of circulating spiritual power."

Xiang Beifei pondered, planning to try mastering this technique next time.

However, for now, as Elder Luo had blocked his hearing, he still needed to focus his spiritual power, step by step.

With the world becoming quiet, nothing could distract him; in fact, it was nearly impossible to be distracted since his vision contained nothing else but the seed shell, which Elder Luo allowed him to see.

"It's okay, take it slow. When I mastered this initially, it also took me almost a month. Don't rush it too much,"

After conveying his voice to Xiang Beifei, Elder Luo went offline.

"Let my spiritual power emanate from my mind, focusing on the seed shell..."

Xiang Beifei, contemplating Elder Luo's words, stared at the seed shell in his hand and began practicing the spiritual power technique Elder Luo had taught him.

He tried for a long time without success, but Elder Luo patiently guided him.

While Xiang Beifei was cultivating, Elder Luo was counting how many white clouds drifted over in the sky, how many leaves fell from a tree in a minute, and doing other mundane tasks required by the system.

Elder Luo was getting stronger nearly every moment, and in Xiang Beifei's view, this "Leisure System" was truly formidable.

—

For three consecutive days, Xiang Beifei came to Liangzhou University to study with Elder Luo. He also practiced at home, but without Elder Luo's guidance, he couldn't achieve complete concentration.

Gradually, he felt as if something extra existed in his mind, the strands of spiritual power slowly swirling within. He vaguely managed to display the spiritual power in his mind in a special way.

However, a problem arose; although the spiritual power was deployed, it drifted around aimlessly without any aggressiveness. He needed to reconcentrate the spiritual power.

On the fourth day, Xiang Beifei finally got the trick. He succeeded in levitating the seed shell using his own spiritual power! Moreover, he inadvertently discovered that he had gained a deeper understanding of this ability.
