Chapter 1 The Enormous Stone Statue

In front of the enormous stone statue, as Zi Yan Liuyun finished withstanding a wave of mental impact, Shui Se Qiangwei and the others present stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Under the mental impact from a distance of eighty yards, there was no change on Zi Yan Liuyun’s face, clearly indicating that she had no problems withstanding the mental impact from eighty yards away, and could even move forward some more.

"Does mental refinement really increase it this much?" Shi Feng thought to himself, astonished as he watched Zi Yan Liuyun.

In God's Domain, if you want to quickly absorb the will of the gods, in addition to a large number of items or potions that restore the spirit, mental refinement is the most important thing. The more refined the spirit is, the better the effect on resisting mental impacts.

It’s just that there are no specific techniques for mental refinement...

Because the spirit is ethereal, it can only be perceived but not touched, let alone manipulated. The only thing players can do is concentrate and not be affected by the outside world.

At this time, Zi Yan Liuyun had obviously made progress in mental refinement, making her spirit more solid, allowing her to resist stronger mental impacts. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand the mental impact from eighty yards away so easily.

Although he had long known that Zi Yan Liuyun's talent was very high, and that in his previous life she was able to enter the sixth-order divine level by her own power alone, one could imagine how strong her talent was.

It should be known that even with the resource support of major super forces, more than 90% of geniuses are stuck at the fifth level, unable to enter that realm.

But Zi Yan Liuyun's talent still exceeded his expectations.

They were all refining their spirits for the first time, and they had not learned any techniques or methods. Zi Yan Liuyun only spent a little over an hour, and she actually broke through. This talent was truly terrifying.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zi Yan Liuyun's breakthrough inspired everyone even more. They moved forward a few yards, trying to figure out how to better resist the stronger mental impacts.

Shi Feng couldn't help but move forward five yards and sat down 85 yards away from the statue.

However, after a wave of mental impact, Shi Feng's face suddenly turned pale, and his consciousness blurred for a while before he recovered.

"Just moving forward five more yards reduced my spirit by nearly a tenth, and I didn't even absorb a trace of the will of the gods. Sure enough, mental refinement is not so easy to improve," Shi Feng said with a wry smile as he looked at Zi Yan Liuyun, who was resisting the mental impact from eighty yards away.

He originally thought that his mental strength should have improved after so many mental impacts.

But now it seems that was not the case at all...

"It seems I can only go back and accumulate slowly," Shi Feng said, shaking his head, and prepared to sit back down at the ninety-yard mark.

After Shi Feng got up, the stone statue emitted another wave of mental impact.

Faced with this mental impact, Shi Feng did not try to resist, but chose to endure it.

After a wave of mental impact, Shi Feng immediately felt his consciousness become slightly blurred, and his control over his body became slightly sluggish.

"It's clearly the same impact, but the difference between actively enduring and actively resisting is really big. If my active resistance was as effective as it is now, I could probably walk directly to within twenty or thirty yards of the statue," Shi Feng said with a slight sigh as he re-experienced the effect of actively enduring the mental impact.

However, as Shi Feng walked back to his original position, another mental impact swept over him, almost causing him to lose his footing.

But this mental impact suddenly made Shi Feng stop, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"So that's it. How didn't I think of this before?" Shi Feng clenched his fist and couldn't help but look at the stone statue in the distance. "The reason why actively enduring the mental impact has so little effect on me is because I gave up control of my body at that moment, and my spiritual will completely followed the will of the gods. The reason why active resistance has a big impact is because I am fighting with the will of the gods for control of my body. Of course, it consumes a lot of my spirit. If I have enough control over my body, then resisting the will of the gods should become easier."

Thinking of this, Shi Feng couldn't help but sit down immediately and start trying.

Before, he concentrated all his energy on one point in his brain, only thinking about not being affected by the will of the gods. Now, he concentrated his energy on his whole body, not allowing anything to affect his control of his body, as if turning himself into a rock, letting the outside world blow and rain, remaining motionless.

As the mental impact struck again, Shi Feng's face suddenly sank, but a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough!" Shi Feng felt the loss of his spirit, his heart full of excitement.

Originally, at the ninety-yard position, a wave of mental impact would consume one-fortieth of his spirit, but now it only consumed one-fiftieth.

Although the progress was very, very small, he had taken the first step in resisting the mental impact.

Immediately, Shi Feng left the mental impact range of the stone statue, walked to a corner not far away, sat down, and began to try to further strengthen his body control authority, concentrating his spirit as much as possible on his whole body, or using the muscles of his whole body to exert force in one direction, so as to maximize his body control authority.

But even for Shi Feng, this was the first time he had done such a thing.

Even if he had mastered the Domain, and his control over his five senses and body had been meticulous to the extreme, even to the point where his body and senses were integrated into one, and he could feel the surrounding space, he had never done anything like exerting the muscles of his whole body in one direction.

But saying is one thing, and doing is another.

When he really tried to control the muscles of his whole body to exert force in one direction, he found that it was really a very, very difficult thing. No matter how hard he tried to control the muscles of his whole body, he could only barely mobilize a small part of the muscles to exert force in one direction.

And this ratio could be said to be less than 10%...

"Sure enough, it's so difficult. If there was a combat technique that could mobilize the muscles of the whole body to exert force in one direction, that would be great."

Shi Feng felt that controlling every muscle in his body was much more difficult than using a bronze-level combat technique, because bronze-level combat techniques only used a part of the muscles, and not in one direction.

"That's right!" Shi Feng thought about it and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Since there is no such combat technique, then I will just create one myself. Even if I can't mobilize the muscles of my whole body now, it's okay as long as I can mobilize a part of them."

As he spoke, Shi Feng began to try to create such a combat technique.

Such a combat technique was much more difficult than ordinary advanced combat techniques, but for Shi Feng, who had experienced hundreds of battles and could barely integrate advanced combat techniques into himself, it was not impossible. It was like a magic array, using magic elements to form a magic array, exerting power that could not be achieved originally.

And what he had to do was to use a part of the muscles he needed to form a magic array.

One hour...

Three hours...

Nine hours...

After Shi Feng had been trying for a full ten hours, he threw a punch, and even the stable space of Guanghui City showed a trace of fluctuation. Then, a system prompt sounded in Shi Feng's ear, constantly echoing in his brain.

System: Congratulations to the player for creating an advanced bronze-level combat technique. Do you want to name this combat technique?
