Chapter 171 Level Up
Brian followed Helister’s footsteps and walked out of the bathroom together.
As he walked, he recalled the knowledge that Heliste had explained to him.
The so-called 'mind plane' is the spiritual structure that connects the individual's mind and body.
Except in psychic battles, mind planes are generally invisible. Each mind plane will appear in the form of an important location for the 'owner'.
Everyone has their own mental plane. As long as you find the right method, you can successfully open it and tap into the hidden power.
These are the original words Heliste gave him.
In fact, like the astral realm, the mental plane is also similar to the realm of spirit and dreams.
However, the state of mind seems to exist deep in everyone's heart.
Once opened, it will materialize into a reflection engraved on the soul according to a certain state of mind of the person who opens it.
Brian felt that the reflection of a star he embodied was probably related to his recent or long-term ideals and goals.
Herister told him that when the layers of the mental plane are opened to a certain extent, they will even materialize into real creations.
For example, if his star reflection continues to be turned on, it is very likely to become a real star, or the real world, and he is the creator of it.
In other words, the star reflected in his soul is more like a seed that can grow into a world.
As for the specific level at which this effect will appear, even Helister herself doesn’t know.
Because the method of opening the state of mind plane is a new result that she has researched over a long period of time through the extremely prosperous spiritual knowledge in the world of Atas, combined with Toriel's arcane knowledge.
The most important thing is that the conditions for opening the state of mind are very demanding.
Just like the state of mind plane opened by Brian, at least one needs to have the arcanist and psion professions that are proficient in the field of creation.
And he is undoubtedly Heliste's first experimental subject.
“Do you have any questions?” Seemingly noticing Brian’s slowing down pace, Helist turned around and asked.
"I do have a question."
Brian told her truthfully, "The mental plane is a plane similar to the astral plane. If the astral world is the outer spiritual plane, then the mental plane is The inner spiritual plane. There is no doubt that the astral plane and the mental plane are related to spiritual energy. Why did I obtain the characteristics of spiritual fusion?"
Helist stopped. Stepping forward, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Brian for a long time, and asked, "Do you know the Osprit Master?"
"Of course I do." Brian nodded slightly.
Arcanists possess the power of both arcane and psychic powers. They combine the two spellcasting abilities by building a bridge-like existence between psychic powers and arcane magic.
"I just accidentally noticed that when arcane and psychic powers were intertwined, I realized that there is a mental plane within everyone's spiritual level." Helist said to him:
< br>"Then I looked up the secrets of dragon transformation in the world of Atas, and then I really understood that the reason why the spellcasters in the world of Atas can extract life energy to release spells is that all their media come from After arcana and spiritual energy are combined into one, the mental state plane is opened independently.”
Brian knows that the so-called secret of dragon transformation is to use his own incredibly powerful arcane and spiritual energy. Changed.
In pursuit of ultimate power, they chose to go through a transformation process, changing their body structure and turning themselves into dragons.
Athas dragons can cast terrible magic, sucking life energy from people and animals, leaving only dead bones.
This is the road of no return that masters who pursue the path of magic must embark on.
Because they can combine supernatural magical power with psychic powers, they possess extremely powerful power and become immortal beings.
This is an eternal secret method that is more reliable than transforming a lich.
“I can feel the powerful power brought by the opening of the state of mind plane.” Brian once again expressed his doubts, “So I am very curious, what the spellcasters in the world of Atas have also gained. This kind of power? "
The world of Atas does not belong to the kingdom of heaven, but to the material world of other crystal wall systems, a desolate world abandoned by the gods.
"That's not the case." Heliste shook her head slightly, sighed softly, and looked into the distance through the window.
“In Atas, the energy of the mage’s magic does not come from the source of the magic network of the goddess of magic like in our world, but from the ecological environment. The mage absorbs the vitality of Atas and plants it from the fertile soil. Drawing power from the plants on the earth, it provides a large amount of energy for those who collect and shape it, but this will cost the world an immeasurable price, so they simply do not have the huge magical energy to open the state of mind. It’s just a superficial existence, unless they truly master the secret of dragon transformation.”
“That’s it.” Brian suddenly understood why Helist opened the state of mind for him. With the help of the huge energy of the elemental pool.
“Brian.” Helist turned around and looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, a solemn look on her delicate face.
“Remember, as long as you practice according to the method I taught you, after your psychic magician profession reaches the legendary realm, you will not only be able to master abilities comparable to the secret art of dragon transformation, but also be able to avoid this... The shortcomings caused by this ability.”
"It can make you, like the dragon in the secret art of dragon transformation, become a truly immortal existence. The long time will have no meaning for your existence." She added the final addition.
He was secretly relieved when he heard that he did not need to transform into a dragon. After all, in his understanding, if he wanted to go higher and further, the only thing he needed was a pure body and mind.
The Secret Technique of Dragon Transformation seems to turn into a giant dragon and become an immortal existence, but as time goes by, it will gradually lose its mind and become a dragon in the true sense, not a human.
This is obviously not what he wants to see.
“That’s right.” Herister seemed to have guessed what Brian was thinking at the moment and said to him:
"In the world of Toril, any immortal existence has certain flaws more or less. This seemingly inconspicuous flaw becomes more serious the longer it becomes powerful enough, even if They are powerful gods or god-like beings, and they can only be bound to the kingdom of heaven in the end."
Brian nodded slightly to express his understanding.
In fact, he still had a doubt in his mind.
This doubt is due to Heliste’s age. After all, being able to develop such a powerful ability and at the same time master the six major fields of psionic power through the secret of psionic power does not take hundreds of years. It was done casually.
Of course, although he was very curious, he really didn't foolishly ask directly.
Then, he no longer thought about it, silently brought up the system bar, and began to upgrade the level of the psion profession that he had stagnated for a long time.
“Improve the Psion profession level!”
“Consumption 45200 experience points.”
“Improve the Psion profession level to level 8!”
"Psionic points gained: 12, additional psionic points 3."
"Acquire allocable free attributes: 1 point."
"Acquire professional feature: Ectoplasmic Protection."
…………
“Improve the Psion profession level! ”
“Consume 62400 experience points”
"The Psion career level has been increased to level 9!"
"Psionic points gained: 14 points, and 3 additional psionic points."
"Acquired fifth-level power: Crystal Hail. , Psionic Advanced Creation, Psionic Constancy, and Astral Creeping Monster.”
…………
“Improve the level of the Psionic Warlock!”
"Consumption of 83200 experience points."
"The Psion career level is increased to level 10!"
"Psionic points gained: 16 points, 3 additional psionic points."
... After the level improvement was completed, Brian allocated this 1 free attribute point to his own intelligence attribute without thinking, turning it into 23 points.
Then, he looked at the options in the "Original Psychic Talent" where he could choose feats and super powers.
After careful consideration, he chose "Enhanced Construction" for his psionic specialty, and "Super Power" for his superpower specialty.
Enhanced Construction: Manifestors with this feat will create astral constructs with more powerful abilities. Effect: You can choose an additional ability for the astral construct.
Seeing this, Brian directly chose "natural invisibility" for this flying sword-shaped astral construct.
Natural Invisibility: The astral construct remains permanently invisible, even when it is attacking. This ability is innate and is not affected by disinvisibility spells.
As an astral construct that specializes in attacking, possessing this ability will greatly enhance its sneak attack power.
Besides, Helist told him that he could find a way to make his psicrystal servant become a soul blader.
Soul Bladers are also a type of psychic professionals. They believe that their thoughts are the most beautiful and deadly among all things.
According to this idea, after special training, the soul blader learned to cast his own spiritual power into a luminous semi-solid spiritual energy sword.
Brian was in the Kuo-Toa town in the Underdark, but he witnessed the "Soul Blade: Blade Storm" released by the Gray Dwarf Soul Bladers. A pickaxe suddenly turned into countless The same weapon was raging towards the enemy like a violent storm.
If his spiritual crystal servant can take up his post as a soul blade, he can make this flying sword-shaped astral construct act as the soul blade of the soul blade.
Imagine that you are fighting an enemy, and his spiritual crystal servant suddenly controls an invisible flying sword, turning into a rain of swords from the sky. It is very touching.
He looked at his newly acquired super expertise.
Maximum effect of super power (super power feat): This super power feat can consume two additional levels of power points to maximize the power of the power released by oneself.
Psychic superpower feats are similar to spell metamagic feats, both of which increase the power of spells at the cost of additional consumption.
Since Brian has just acquired the "Arcane (Spiritual) Spell Amplification" feature, this means that he can use "Super Power" as a metamagic feat.
In this case, this feat can be combined with another metamagic feat "Spell Empowerment" that increases spell damage by 50% to maximize the power of his evocation spells.
After everything was adjusted, Brian was completely relieved.
From now on, he will explore the material world with the two professions of arcanist and psychic.
After all, as a time traveler, he knows very well the principle of biting off more than he can chew.
Moreover, the arcane masters and psychic masters in his creative field alone are enough to make up for most of his shortcomings.
The next thing he needs to do is how to make the most of his advantages when facing a strong enemy, or to develop a fighting style unique to the creative field.
He had a vague feeling that with his current ability, as long as he was not facing a legendary caster, he could kill the enemy here with the arcane and psychic powers he had mastered.
He has the power to fight even against non-spellcasters in the legendary realm.
While Brian was thinking about his future fighting style, Helister took him to her study.
"Are you ready?" Herister's soft voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Ready, you start." He came back to his senses, sat on the soft sofa, and said to her.
There are three main ways for a psion to obtain psychic powers. The simplest one is like Brian. After leveling up, he can automatically gain psychic powers based on his mastery of specialization fields and psychic talents.
The second is to study independently or master new powers by reading and learning psychic knowledge.
Nowadays, Brian has very little time to even study spells, so it is naturally impossible to waste a lot of time on learning psychic powers.
From this point of view, he could only choose the third, fastest and most difficult method.
This method is to contact other psychic professionals and, under the condition of both parties’ consent, invade the depths of the volunteer’s mind with one’s own spiritual thoughts, feel the abilities deep in the other person’s mind, and quickly grasp their past. Practice psychic powers.
This is like turning on Bluetooth between two mobile phones and downloading something to another mobile phone.
Of course, the premise of all this is that both parties must be trustworthy, otherwise, no one would dare to let other people's consciousness invade their minds with confidence.
If the other party has even the slightest evil thoughts and suddenly uses spiritual energy similar to seizing a body, it will put him in danger of death.
Brian was naturally at ease with the Helist in front of him.
So, this method became the fastest way for him to learn psychic powers.
He saw Heliste waving her hand, and six sparkling spiritual crystal servants all appeared beside her out of thin air.
Of these six spiritual crystal servants, which are only the size of table tennis balls, two are spheres with countless tiny prismatic facets on their surfaces, wrapped in pale golden light. The other two are crescent-shaped and twinkling. The silver glow is like the bright moonlight.
The last two are three-dimensional five-pointed star shapes, wrapped in light blue light.
"These six spiritual crystal servants inherit all the known spiritual powers in the world of Atas, as well as the supernatural powers I have studied myself." Herister sat next to Brian and said to him, "As long as your level is enough , you can come to me at any time to get it.”
All psychic powers from level one to level nine.
Rao is a calm person like Brian, but he became a little uneasy after hearing this.
After all, there are hundreds of abilities in the whole spell, which is an unimaginable wealth for any psychic professional.
With Helister's help, he didn't have to worry about learning psychic powers in this tight time.
Then, he no longer hesitated, closed his eyes, held Helister's hand, and began to accept the supernatural power she imparted.
In a trance, Brian saw himself turning into a ball of energy, and his whole body was submerged in a sea of spiritual knowledge.
At the same time, another golden energy body entangled and mixed with him when he was about to browse this knowledge.
As a warm breath surged throughout his body, Brian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of relief rising all over his body, making him linger and unable to stop.
Then he simply relaxed his mind completely and allowed this ball of golden energy to completely envelop and fuse him, enjoying the pleasant comfort transmitted by this energy that was purer than his own. .
Just as he expected.
Soon, in the continuous fusion and rolling of the two groups of energy, he felt that spiritual energy from level 1 to level 5 was continuously transmitted to his spiritual sea of consciousness, allowing him to completely master it.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Brian opened his eyes, he had nearly a hundred new powers in his list of powers.
He subconsciously looked at Helister in front of him, only to find a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and a faint flush on her delicate face.
With that charming look, Brian's first reaction was to be a little stunned.
Because whether it was the game world or the real world, this was the first time he had seen this elf beauty reveal such an unknown side.
He even thought that if he filmed it and posted it on the forum, it would be enough to make her fans scream with excitement.
Brian quickly dismissed the ridiculous thoughts in his mind and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
He suddenly realized that this was probably because he had received too many powers. , causing the other party's spirit to suffer a certain amount of damage.
However, during the transmission process just now, he clearly felt that he was completely passive, and she was the active one.
He didn't think that a calm woman like Helist would make such a low-level mistake that would lead to mental trauma.
"It's okay..." Heliste shook her head slightly, brushed a strand of long hair that was wet with sweat from her forehead, and avoided Brian's gaze unnaturally.
She stood up and looked out the window. She was silent for a long time and said softly to him: "I seem to know how to perfectly integrate the split personality of the fifth spiritual crystal servant."
