Chapter 28: Mental power surges
“Gulu!”
Drink it with your head raised.
The light of the potion’s wisdom sinks into the intestines and stomach along the throat, and the cold feeling makes people feel refreshed.
No!
Not the taste.
But the spirit has indeed become sharper.
Karl's eyes flashed in the fragments of the God's Realm. He closed his eyes and felt silently while running the meditation method.
Spiritual Inner Sea.
The previously turbulent and undulating waves have become much more stable under the influence of the medicine, which means that the effectiveness of the meditation method will be greatly increased.
If self-awareness is compared to a seed, then the inner sea of the spirit is the fertile soil containing nutrients.
And meditation.
It is to allow the seeds to absorb the nutrients of the fertile soil and take root and sprout.
Until self-awareness completely occupies the inner sea of the spirit, a fundamental transformation occurs from the inside out.
In the past, due to the influence of distracting thoughts, the meditation method was not efficient. Now it is more efficient?
"Seven times!"
"Taking the potion increases the efficiency by at least seven times."
"And not only does the inner sea of the spirit nourish the spirit, the potion itself also has the effect of strengthening the mental power."
"It should be the effect of the undead dust. Sibel said that many of the ingredients in this type of potion are originally produced from the soul..."
One day later.
Karl looked at the data panel in front of him.
Physique: 0.78
Mental power: 0.98
Physique has increased by 0.01 compared to the previous days.
However, it has nothing to do with taking the potion this time, but it is due to continuous practice and breathing techniques.
Mental power...
"0.02!"
In one day, mental power increased by 0.02, which would probably take nearly a month based on past progress.
Even with the previous accumulation, it is still exaggerated.
Karl muttered:
"No wonder Sibel wants the undead dust so much. With or without pharmaceutical aids, the progress is completely different."
Another day.
Physique: 0.78
Mental power: 0.98
Mental power increased again by 0.01, but Karl could clearly feel that the effect of the potion was no longer necessary.
"In two days, the increase is close to 0.03."
"With my method, one soul powder can be used to prepare two parts of the Light of Wisdom Potion, and I still have thirteen soul powders on hand."
"It's enough in the short term!"
If the soul powder, that is, the dust of the dead, is given to Sibel, with her methods and professional tools, one portion can be used to prepare three to four portions of the light of wisdom. It just exposes oneself, which is not advisable.
“As mental power increases, the speed of spell casting will be accelerated accordingly, and the power of the secondary magic field will also increase.”
Karl stretched his muscles and said again:
"It is also good for practicing swordsmanship."
This is not obvious in the God's Domain Fragments.
Being stronger mentally will increase your ability to control the physical body. However, in the divine realm, the fragments can be perfectly controlled and the difference cannot be noticed. Only when you return to the real world can you realize the difference.
"No wonder Miles has never practiced swordsmanship, but he can suppress the knight's attendants with a thin sword."
"The mental power of the intermediate wizard apprentice allows him to control the physical body more accurately and faster."
"The senior wizard apprentice, even if he does not practice, is probably physically stronger than the average knight attendant. , this is the reason why teacher Adolf is still walking as fast as he is even at his age."
"Shua!"
As soon as the sword shadow was withdrawn, Karl's face showed a look of concentration.
Next.
Combat skill - Gale Slash!
Four afterimages!
Swinging four afterimages at once, plus the broad sword itself makes it five, which is not weak among knights and attendants.
This is the first time that Karl has waved four afterimages outside the fragments of the divine realm.

Black City.
Snowflakes mixed with unknown black dust finally stopped falling, but the sudden drop in temperature caused the snow on the ground in the city to freeze into ice.
Even guests who are knight attendants have to put on thick robes here.
"Uncle."
Aya jumped out from a crack in the ground:
"We are here."
Behind her, the famous man was still following A young man named Xiaonan, who is as tall as a grown man.
Different from the first meeting.
This time, young Xiaonan did not cover herself tightly, but revealed her youthful face.
After several transactions, both parties already have a certain amount of trust.
"Hehe..." Xiaonan scratched his head with a silly smile on his face:
"Uncle."
"Yes."
Karl said expressionlessly:
"Did you bring the thing?"
"Bring it." Aya nodded hurriedly and motioned for Xiaonan to take it. The package on the lower back said:
"Seventeen copies of soul powder, six gold and jade products, and a few books, but I couldn't buy the breathing method."
"Seventeen copies." Karl frowned slightly:
"So few?"
As for not buying the breathing method, he was not surprised. After all, there were no clues in the previous transactions.
Gradually I got used to it.
What's more, he already has the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique, and collecting other breathing techniques is just a habit, not urgent.
"This..." Aya forced a smile:
"In the Winter Moon, few people are willing to come out. As for the masters...I can't get in touch with them yet."
"But the next one "The moon will be fine."
Karl looked up at the sky, accepted the explanation, and pointed behind him:
"The things are inside, except for some food, and you. I need two healing potions.”
Aya's eyes lit up.
Every year in the winter months, a large number of people in Black City often die due to food shortages.
Food prices will also soar.
Although Karl also raised the price, it was not much. The difference in price was already a huge profit for her.
Not to mention there are rare healing potions.
"Uncle."
Taking out the contents of the package, Aya's beautiful eyes flashed:
"What do you want these gold products for?"
"Play with and collect them. "Karl looked at the gold statue in front of him and estimated its price in his mind:
"Is there a problem? "
"No, no." Aya waved her hands urgently:
"I thought you could go out."
Go out?
Karl’s eyes narrowed.
Indeed.
These things are not valuable in the Black City, but they can be exchanged for many good things when taken outside. Collecting them deliberately will give people an illusion.
Can he leave the city?
Is that why you collect these things?
“No.”
Karl said slowly:
"If you have a way out of the city, you might as well tell me."
"Yes."
Aya nodded heavily:
"I will definitely tell the uncle first."
“Huh?”
She suddenly looked back, with an expression of surprise and uncertainty on her face.
"There is movement!"
"Not bad."
Karl also looked solemn, and at the same time he was a little surprised that Aya's perception was so sharp.
He just realized it.
"Leave first and then talk."
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, the footsteps in the distance suddenly turned into a loud noise, and there was flying snow and smoke.
"Gron, you can't escape!"
"Ah!"
There were roars and collisions, and chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer.
“Let’s go!”
Karl’s heart sank. There was a high probability that this kind of movement was not caused by the knight’s attendant, and it was equally dangerous to him.
“Whoa!”
Aya called to Xiaonan and jumped towards the dark hole in the ground.
The two of them are not strong, but they are flexible, and they have a keen sense of danger after living in the Black City all year round.
It is easy to escape with the help of underground passages extending in all directions.
On the other hand, Karl has never been underground, has only visited the Black City a limited number of times, and is not very familiar with the surrounding environment.
Not long after he ran out, he was blocked by three figures.
“I’m just a passerby.”
Karl raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions:
"Can you give way?"
What he responded to was an oncoming arrow.
