Pet Beasts of the World: Hundred-Fold Multiplier System - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: What is Mental Power

Fang Yuan was immersed in his soul consciousness. In his eyes at this moment, the world was vast.

“Is this personal cultivation?” Fang Yuan stuck out his tongue. He did not expect that the trainer’s own cultivation would be so difficult.

If what Huang Ying said was true, what was floating in front of him was his mental power. It was like a thick fog surrounding him.

He thought to himself, “I only have slightly more than 6,000 points of mental power with the trainer’s equipment. There’s actually such thick fog that I can’t even see myself clearly.”

If he cultivated for another year or so, what kind of realm could he reach? However, when would he be able to catch up with the 1.3 million points of mental power of his mentor?

He was breaking away from his soul consciousness.

Fang Yuan was sitting in the classroom at the moment. He was attending Huang Ying’s mental power training course together with Xinyu.

“You’ve already seen what mental power looks like just now. Now, let’s proceed with the mental power training,” Huang Ying said. “Mental power training is actually very similar to the upgrading of a pet beast. You can gain insights through fighting, or you can kill other trainers and absorb their mental power.”

At this point, Huang Ying’s face revealed a terrifying expression.

“Ah! I don’t want to kill anyone!” Xinyu was shocked by him and immediately hid behind Fang Yuan.

“Teacher is joking with us.” Fang Yuan could tell at a glance that Huang Ying was talking nonsense because he could see that both Huang Ying and Ouyang Xinglan were not the kind of people who would kill. On the contrary, they were somewhat friendly.

Just as Fang Yuan thought, Huang Ying was just putting on a dramatic performance and was exposed by Fang Yuan, which made him lose face. He lowered his head and said bitterly, “Fang Yuan, give your teacher some face occasionally.”

“Save your time, Teacher Huang.” Fang Yuan was a little speechless. He was still thinking about how to catch up with the footsteps of the legendary pet beast.

Huang Ying saw that Xinyu was staring at him, and the effect was half achieved. He reached out his hand and held a purple crystal.

“This is called a spirit crystal. The mental power of a normal trainer is fixed by talent. For example, Fang Yuan, you have more than 4,000, and Xinyu, you have more than 600. Therefore, Fang Yuan has a lot of pet beasts. Without the support of equipment, he can summon the gryphon legion to fight.”

“Every time we summon a pet beast, we will deduct a part of our mental power. For example, 30 mental power will be deducted from one gryphon, and 3,000 mental power will be deducted from 100 gryphons. At that time, Fang Yuan will only has 1,000 mental power left in his body. As for the legion trainers, they will disconnect their mental connection with the other pets in the legion and connect with the legion commanding pets, such as Xiao Jin that Fang Yuan mentioned. As long as Xiao Jin doesn’t leave the field, these gryphons can fight as if they were in a wild state. However, they only receive 30 points of mental power. After they release their skills, they can not replenish it anymore.”

Fang Yuan nodded. Xinyu did not know why Huang Ying said all these. She did not know that this was a question raised by Fang Yuan.

“In a normal pet battle, other than the mental power required to summon it, it also needs to be continuously supplied with mental power so that it can use all sorts of skills in the battle. Every time the pet is injured, and it attacks, it will consume a large amount of mental power. Take Fang Yuan as an example, summoning the three-tailed spirit fox consumes 40 points of mental power. Every time it uses its skills, it will replenish its mental power, and the source of this mental power is Fang Yuan.”

He looked at Fang Yuan, Huang Ying said, “The reason why I’m telling you all this is to let you know that mental power can be trained. It’s just like a fitness exercise, constantly repeating, increasing the weight, and breaking through the limit. The human body is limited, but the human spirit is unlimited.”

“The other method is the purple crystal in my hand. It’s called a core. It’s okay if I let you know this. Pet beasts are not human’s only battle companion. We have other enemies, such as the demons from the demon world. When you destroy them, you will get such a purple crystal. If you touch it, you can absorb its mental power for your own use.”

“Demons?” Xinyu felt like she was listening to a fairy tale.

“Mm.” Huang Ying lifted the purple crystal and said to Fang Yuan and Xinyu, “You two can try touching it. Fang Yuan, you go first.”

“Oh.” Fang Yuan stood up and touched the purple crystal. As expected, the system immediately reacted.

[ Ding! Spirit crystal fragment detected. Grade: Low ]

[ Do you want to proceed with 100 times increase? ]

[ Host can choose from the following increase methods. ]

[ First, give up the 100 times increase, and obtain a low-grade spirit crystal fragment. ]

[ Second, proceed with 100 times increase in quality, and obtain a intermediate-grade spirit crystal fragment. ]

It was not surprising that there was no third option. The system was not omnipotent.

“Check the attributes.”

Spirit crystal fragment (low-level) : Trainer nutrient, increased maximum mental power by 1,000 points.

Spirit crystal fragment (intermediate-level) : Trainer nutrient, increased maximum mental power by 5,000 points.

Seeing Fang Yuan’s thoughtful expression, Huang Ying smiled and said, “Looks like student Fang Yuan has already understood the use of this crystal?”

“Yes.” Fang Yuan nodded. He gave up on the 100 times increase. After all, this thing did not belong to him, so there was no need to attract other people’s attention.

After Xin Yu touched it, she did not find anything unusual.

Putting the purple crystal back into his pocket, Huang Ying said, “Don’t blame Teacher for being stingy. I only have this one piece.”

“But, teacher, your mental power is 1.3 million,” Fang Yuan said.

“Of course, because I’m an expert in mental power.” Huang Ying revealed a strange smile. “I was going to teach you in your second year, but Fang Yuan, you’re talented, so you can practice with Xinyu.”

“Yes!” Xinyu looked full of vitality as usual.

But Fang Yuan felt that the following training might be very painful.

After seeing the training list, Fang Yuan knew that it was as he had expected.

Flying at full speed for 500 kilometers

Controlling two pet beasts, using the smallest amount of strength to fight each other until their mental power was exhausted

When their spiritual power was exhausted, they would carry out running practice.

Fighting Forest Apes with their physical bodies.

There were more than 100 training contents being listed densely under the list. Some were for torturing pet beasts, while some were for torturing trainers.

“Ah, Teacher, I am a girl and I have to fight with a monkey?” Xinyu looked puzzled after reading the list.

“Of course, I will keep you safe.”

Huang Ying smiled and said, “For the next two months, you don’t need to attend any other courses. Just focus on building your foundation.”

Fang Yuan didn’t have any objections to this. He just felt that this training looked like training Superman. He remembered a sentence: “A chef who doesn’t want to become a special force soldier is not a good trainer”.
