Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 2644 Absorbing God's Will
In front of the city wall, which was hundreds of meters high, massive stone statues were completely embedded, becoming one with the wall, creating an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression.
As Shi Feng and the others approached within a hundred yards of these statues, everyone immediately felt their minds being continuously subjected to intense pressure. It felt as if their bodies were no longer their own, and their consciousness vaguely began to drift away, like a small boat tossed about in a storm, on the verge of being reduced to debris.
"Such a strong mental impact! Just this little bit makes me feel as tired as if I had used a high-level combat technique. If it continues, my mind will probably be completely exhausted before long," Bai Qinxue said with a slight frown, feeling the mental pressure from the statues.
She knew these statues were unusual even outside the city, merely looking at them would constantly deplete one's spirit.
But now it was even more terrifying. Even without looking at the statues, one's mind would be continuously subjected to mental attacks, rapidly draining their mental energy.
"Guild Leader, is the training you mentioned going to take place here?" Shui Se Rose couldn't help but ask, looking at Shi Feng, who had stopped.
"That's right, it's here," Shi Feng replied with a smile, nodding.
"Guild Leader, the mental attacks here are too strong. Forget using magic skills, even basic mana manipulation is a problem. Training here is simply impossible," Shui Se Rose said, attempting to manipulate mana, but the mana she had gathered instantly dispersed due to the mental impact.
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
If it were just a normal mental attack, it would be fine, but the mental attacks here were almost scattering their consciousness. Forget controlling mana, even controlling their bodies was a problem.
Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go to a hotel and try to train mana control. The effect would definitely be a hundred times better than here.
"It is indeed very difficult to manipulate mana here, but we are not here to train mana manipulation, but to train our spirit," Shi Feng explained slowly to the puzzled crowd.
"Train our spirit? How is that possible!" Shui Se Rose was stunned, looking at Shi Feng in disbelief. "Isn't spirit only improved when players are promoted or when their life level is increased?"
At this moment, not only Shui Se Rose, but also Bai Qinxue and the others looked at Shi Feng in disbelief, feeling that Shi Feng was joking with them.
Compared to stamina, the hidden attribute of spirit was even more mysterious and difficult to improve, which was a universally recognized fact in God's Domain.
Of course, it was true that spirit was difficult to improve, but once it was improved, its assistance to players was the greatest among all attributes, especially for magic-type players, where the help was more than ten or even dozens of times greater than other attributes.
This was because spirit not only affected the consumption of players using combat techniques, but more importantly, it significantly improved players' control.
This control was not just over mana, but also included control over the body. These were far more important to a master player than other attributes.
However, so far, there were only two ways to improve spirit.
One was through class advancement, and the other was by increasing one's life level. In this way, spirit would naturally be improved. There was no other way.
Because of this, any item on the market that could improve a player's spirit was extremely precious and rare. Its value could be said to be more than ten times that of items of the same level, and any item that could improve even a trace of spirit was at least Dark-Gold rank, and would be snatched up by major forces as soon as it appeared.
Now, Shi Feng was telling them that they could directly improve players' spirit attribute, how could they believe it?
"Normally, it is indeed very difficult to improve the spirit attribute, but the statues here are not simple. The spirit emanating from them is the will of the gods. As long as you can resist this will and clash with it, you can subtly absorb these divine wills, thereby improving the spirit that you can't normally improve," Shi Feng said with a smile. "If there is anything most precious in the entire Lightforge City, I am afraid that these statues are one of them, but the divine will emitted by these statues is ultimately a consumable. As players continue to absorb it, it will become less and less. I don't know how long it will take to recover. If you miss it, it may be difficult to encounter it again."
"No wonder Guild Leader, you wanted us to exchange all our contribution points for spirit recovery potions. If this matter is known by the people of Violet Sword, I am afraid that they will spare no expense to send the top experts in the guild to train here," Shui Se Rose suddenly realized.
Although their Zero Wing had signed a contract with Violet Sword, possessing one hundred places to enter the Ancient Secret Realm, their Zero Wing was ultimately not in Violet Light City. In terms of obtaining resources from the Ancient Secret Realm, they would definitely not be able to compete with Violet Sword. At that time, Violet Sword could obtain a large number of contribution points and send a large number of experts to absorb the divine will.
By the time the experts from Zero Wing had come to absorb the divine will, the divine will emanating from the statues would probably have been absorbed by the experts from Violet Sword.
"Alright, everyone, focus your minds and try to resist the mental impact. The closer you are to the statue, the stronger the mental impact will be, and the stronger the resistance, the better the improvement effect will be. However, don't be too greedy, because too much separation of consciousness will also cause a decrease in the absorption effect, or even make it impossible to absorb. So, choose an appropriate distance to try," Shi Feng said to the crowd.
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, Shui Se Rose and the others couldn't restrain their excitement. One by one, they sat down cross-legged and began to try to condense their minds to resist the mental impact of the statues.
For spirit, ordinary expert players at most regarded it as an attribute that increased the number of times they could use combat skills, but for players like them who had unlocked the Mana Body, it was completely different.
Because the improvement of spirit could greatly increase their control, they could further improve their control over mana, allowing them to manipulate more mana to do more complex things. In this way, they could do some things that they could not do before.
The simplest point was to break through 100% of the Mana Body.
With their current spirit, the mana they could manipulate was already the limit. If they wanted to break through 100% and make more attempts, they would need to manipulate more mana.
At this time, a path that could allow them to break through the 100% shackles of the Mana Body was in front of them, and they didn't want to waste a single second.
However, after everyone started to try, the originally excited emotions turned as if they had been splashed with cold water, and everyone's faces turned pale.
"Is the difference between enduring the mental impact and resisting the mental impact so great?" Shui Se Rose couldn't help but open her eyes, almost falling to the ground.
Just condensing her spirit to resist a wave of mental impact instantly consumed more than one-twentieth of her spirit, and even her consciousness had left her body. Her body was completely out of her control. This feeling was simply too uncomfortable. This was like night and day compared to passively enduring the mental impact before.
And wanting to resist this mental impact was simply unimaginable.
At this time, not only Shui Se Rose, but everyone present except Shi Feng, retreated one by one, not daring to resist the impact at a distance of 90 yards.
However, Shi Feng was not much better than the others.
Although he could barely withstand it, the absorption effect was not ideal, and one-fortieth of his spirit was consumed in one go. After only forty impacts, his spirit would be completely exhausted again.
After only two minutes, Shi Feng's remaining spirit became very little, forcing Shi Feng to drink a bottle of spirit recovery potion, allowing his spirit to recover quickly, barely exceeding the speed of spirit consumption.
After continuing for more than an hour, Shi Feng also opened his eyes, glanced at the statues in the distance, and his face was full of depression.
Because in more than an hour, his spirit had improved, but this improvement could be said to be difficult to detect. It was only because he had mastered the Domain and had a very detailed grasp of his body and his mental state, otherwise he would have thought that his spirit had not improved at all.
And he had only ten bottles of spirit recovery potion in his hand, which could last for a maximum of twenty hours. If there was no potion support, simply relying on the recovery speed in the city, he could not think of doing anything.
"At this speed, I am afraid that the top experts of the major super forces have already begun to advance to Tier 4, and I can't even advance my spirit level to Tier 4." Shi Feng looked at his improved spirit and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "No wonder not many expert players in the previous life improved their spirit level through the will of the gods."
However, just as Shi Feng was about to continue condensing his spirit to resist the next wave of mental impact, Zi Yan Liuyun behind him suddenly stood up and walked directly to a place 80 yards away from the statue and sat down.
