My talent panel can be increased.

Chapter 126 I made my move! I failed.
"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu took a deep breath, took out the Blood Spear from his storage space, and nervously looked at the Spirit Realm Equipment Enhancement Interface, feeling a little panicked.

Psionic Points: 24749
[Should I upgrade Blood Spear?]

Current success rate: 90%

[Enhancement Cost: 2000 Psionic Points]

Yes!
The next moment, the 2000 psionic points vanished instantly, and a large amount of enhancement energy was injected into the Blood Spear, which then emitted an even stronger aura.

[Enhancement successful!]

[Blood Spear +1 → Blood Spear +2]

continue!

Blood Spear +2

Current success rate: 80%

[Enhancement Cost: 3000 Psionic Points]

strengthen!

when!
[Enhancement successful!]

[Blood Spear +2 → Blood Spear +3]

Come again!

Blood Spear +3

[Current success rate: 75%. If the enhancement fails, it may damage the equipment.]

[Enhancement Cost: 4000 Psionic Points]

Use a reinforced protective stone!
[Enhanced Protection Stone: 10/1]

Continue to strengthen!

when!
Enhancement failed!

Ye Mingqiu stared silently at the smoking blood spear, a sudden sense of dread creeping into his heart. If he had failed to enhance the weapon without a protective enhancement stone, would it have had any significant impact on the weapon?
Although the textbook says that at most +3 will only reduce the maximum durability and won't cause too much damage, Ye Mingqiu would feel extremely distressed even if the weapon he had nurtured lost just one point of durability, so he had to use a reinforcement protection stone.

Strengthen it one more time!
"when!"

Enhancement successful!

Blood Spear +4

Ye Mingqiu was a little excited. In just a few seconds, he had already spent 13000 spirit points. The speed at which spirit points were consumed when strengthening equipment was a little fast. Even with his current net worth, he would feel a little pain in his wallet.

After all, +4 is just the beginning.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and immediately clicked into the enhancement page again.

Current success rate: 70%

[Enhanced Protection Stone: 8/2]

[Enhancement Cost: 5000 Psionic Points]

strengthen!

when!
[Enhancement successful!]

Blood Spear +5

Come again!

Current success rate: 65%

[Enhanced Protection Stone: 6/3]

[Enhancement Cost: 6000 Psionic Points]

when!
Enhancement failed!

Ye Mingqiu's hands were trembling. Twenty-four thousand spirit energy points were gone in an instant, and the number of spirit energy points consumed by continuing to strengthen would only be more terrifying, and there was also a chance of failure. He would also need to buy strengthening protection stones through various channels to protect the equipment.

Imagine trying to upgrade a Blood Spear to +9. Each upgrade costs 1 Spirit Points, and the success rate is ridiculously low. Add to that the Spirit Points needed to buy an upgrade protection stone, and upgrading a +9 spear to +10 could cost hundreds of thousands of Spirit Points.

Upgrading weapons is a complete money pit!
Psionic Points: 749
Ye Mingqiu looked at his bank account balance and gradually revealed a pained expression.

Well, there's no need to upgrade the weapon level too high at this stage. Blood Spear +5 is enough for now. Let's leave it like this for now. After we get out, we'll need to convert the equipment into other resources. It would be best to get a whole set of Dark Gold equipment directly. We only accept barter.

A level 2 psionicist, fully equipped with dark gold gear, is terrifying to even think about. Normally, only psionicists of level 8 or higher can wear dark gold gear. A level 2 psionicist fully equipped is absolutely invincible.

Blood Spear +5

Attack power: 41-56 → 60-81
Added +3 special effect [Awakening]: Energy conduction and amplification effects increased by 30%.

The Blood Spear's attack power has been greatly increased, which is the charm of spending money. You get what you pay for. As long as you have enough Spirit Points, the weapon's upgrade can reach a terrifying level. However, the amount of Spirit Points required for subsequent upgrades will probably become increasingly terrifying.

The newly added [Awakening] effect may not seem to directly increase power, but its actual improvement is huge, further transforming the Blood Spear.

The core strength of the Blood Spear lies not in its attack power and sharpness, but in its spirit. This spirit can control blood energy to heal its master, increase maximum health, restore weapon durability, and improve its own quality through blood energy.

This is the fundamental core of its power!
The control and utilization of blood energy!
Coincidentally, improving energy conduction and amplification efficiency can also enhance the essence of the Blood Spear, allowing the blood energy within the weapon to be better conducted and utilized, thereby improving the Blood Spear's control and conduction capabilities over blood energy.

In this way, the Blood Spear can restore more health when healing, provide more maximum health when converting life essence, and better utilize blood energy to transform into a stronger piece of equipment during self-growth.

Moreover, the energy amplification effect can also enhance its ability as a staff. In the future, when Ye Mingqiu casts spells with the Blood Spear, he will receive the amplification effect, and it can truly be used as a staff.

However, this usage is not important. The most important thing is the improvement of energy control as a weapon itself, and the increase in the benefits of blood energy utilization.

【return】

A familiar sense of time travel washed over him as Ye Mingqiu returned to his private training room. It was noon, and the room was empty.

"not here?"

Ye Mingqiu glanced around. He had assumed that Tang Ruobing would be training in her private room every day, but it seemed he had been mistaken.

The training targets in the training room have been replaced with higher-grade materials. It seems that Tang Ruobing reacted quickly, and the school made good improvements. After all, it is a dedicated training room for members of the college entrance examination preparation team, and the various training equipment provided is quite adequate.

This is basic welfare.
"hungry."

Ye Mingqiu muttered to himself.

In the world of Eredoa, he spent his last few hours cultivating, practicing military meditation to improve his mental state and avoid being affected by the will to kill. After such a long period of cultivation, hunger was inevitable.

He opened the Spirit Interface panel, the chat interface.

God: Let's go back and have a meal.

Shattered Star: Okay.

God: Where are you?

Shattered Stars: At home.

"Ok?"

Ye Mingqiu was a little puzzled. It wasn't a holiday, so why was she going home? Could something have happened at home? So he asked her directly.

Deity: What's wrong? Is something wrong at home?
Shattered Star: Stealing the household registration book.

God: ?
Shattered Star: Shh, I'm about to make my move!

God: ? ? ?
Ye Mingqiu stared at the last sentence Tang Ruobing sent on the chat interface, his expression blank and shocked. Of course he knew that Tang Ruobing had a high level of affection for him, but he never expected that this guy could do this without hesitation.

This person is usually rational, clear-headed, and full of wisdom. Whether it's studying, fighting, or living, she is a very reliable partner.

But
Deep down, she always secretly craved excitement. So, Tang Ruobing could always secretly perform a big act where no one knew. She enjoyed the thrill of that excitement, wanted to be known, but was also afraid of being known. This contradictory feeling made the excitement even more profound.

Commonly known as even more enjoyable

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Ye Mingqiu closed the chat window, sighed, and walked out of the training room. On his way to lunch, he didn't forget to send pictures of Dark Gold-level equipment to his cheap teammates Tian Qing, Lü, and Xing Ran, in exchange for the Dark Gold-level equipment he needed.

[Blood Axe] [Dark Mithril Shield] [Blood Rage Mace] [Fire's Delight] [Azure Moon Bow]

There are five items in total, which can be exchanged for only the specified parts of Dark Gold equipment, or equivalent items that enhance Strength, Agility, and Spirit attributes.

The first to reply this time was the Lawyer, who was already the mage in the previous team.

Law: Are you a warrior-type class? I have a warrior skill book; I'll exchange it for the [Dark Mithril Shield].

His reasoning was simple: Ye Mingqiu needed strength, agility, and spirit, and his spirit was most likely for training mage teammates. Tian Qing had previously told him about the information regarding the Divine Lord, so Lu probably knew some of it as well.

The number of top-tier psychics preparing for the college entrance examination is already small. Moreover, due to the fact that multiple psychics can enter the spirit world to explore together, many top-tier psychics have actually met and know each other. Only a minority of top-tier psychics have never met.

Of course, entering the same world doesn't have to be at the same time; the timing can be slightly different. It's entirely possible for someone to have been doing a mission in the spirit world for a long time and then suddenly see a new psychic entering the spirit world.

This is a normal phenomenon, so using the advance entry item does not mean entering a single-player world; it simply means entering a designated world in advance.

God: Send it to me.

Law: [Skill Book - Undying Battle Spirit]

The Spirit of War Never Dies

Skill Rank: ★★★★★

Effect: Increases resistance to abnormal statuses and additionally increases resistance to mind control.

God: No need.

Rationally speaking, the "Undying Battle Spirit" skill book is actually a very valuable skill book. First, it is a five-star skill book, and second, it has very few stats, only increasing resistance to abnormal statuses and resistance to mental control.

What does this mean?
This indicates that the stat boost from this five-star skill book must be very high; otherwise, it would never have been rated five stars. Learning just one of these skills can significantly increase resistance to abnormal statuses, making it quite cost-effective for many psionicists.

But
Ye Mingqiu has no shortage of resistance
law:!

As a top-tier psionicist, Law could naturally understand the meaning behind his words. The fact that he didn't need [Undying Battle Spirit] meant that the other party already possessed a fairly high level of resistance and didn't need this skill book to enhance it.

Law: Excuse me.

God: It's alright.

Ye Mingqiu closed the chat interface and strolled to the school cafeteria.

The school cafeteria is good. After all, this is a school exclusively for psionicists. If the food is too bad, it will affect the students' growth rate of basic attributes, which will affect their future grades and have a great impact on the school leaders' reputation. Therefore, the food must be guaranteed.

Of course, this guarantee is only relative. School cafeterias can guarantee good food, but this is only relative to the average person.

Forget about food that boosts attributes; those things are all too expensive.

"Brother Qiu?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the group next to Ye Mingqiu.

He turned around and saw that it was his old deskmate Chen Ran. At that moment, Chen Ran was smiling happily, his face full of sunshine.

So Ye Mingqiu asked with a smile, "Have you had something good happen to you lately? You seem so happy."

"Hey, it's nothing, I just accidentally got a Lord-level support class."

Chen Ran laughed heartily, deliberately emphasizing and raising his voice the words "Lord-level," which drew sidelong glances from the other students getting food with him.

Lord-level support is already a top-tier position in the school. In terms of status, it may even be higher than hero-level warrior, since support is always in short supply.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so amazing! Come have dinner with us?" Ye Mingqiu invited with a smile.

"Okay, no problem!"

Chen Ran replied with a grin.

A few minutes later, the two finished queuing, swiped their student cards from the auxiliary department, and went to a secluded corner.

"You awakened your talent naturally?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

Before becoming a formal psychic, the possibility of suddenly becoming stronger is not high; awakening one's talent is the most likely and the greatest way to improve.

Although the possibility of a mass awakening followed by a natural awakening is very low, it is not zero.

"no no."

Chen Ran waved his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Didn't I tell you before? I was experimenting with cutting-edge drugs at Giant Pharmaceuticals. Some time ago, I tried a [gene mutation] modification experiment and gained the ability to harden my skin. I got a Lord-level profession with this ability."

"Are there any side effects?" Ye Mingqiu asked, frowning slightly.

"Yes, this experiment will reduce my [Basic Physical Potential] attribute to some extent, but as long as I can obtain a higher-level profession and use the [Basic Physical Potential] gained from the higher-level profession to make up for the deficiency, I can gain more benefits," Chen Ran replied with a smile.

"That's pretty good," Ye Mingqiu said.

[Basic Physical Potential] is a very important attribute. The higher the level, the higher the attribute, and the more you will feel its importance.

However, for someone like Chen Ran who was never going to get a [Lord-level] profession in the first place, getting a Lord-level profession now, even if his physical potential is a bit lower, is still a positive benefit for him, provided that the reduction is not too great.

Ye Mingqiu crossed his arms and asked seriously, "How much has it been reduced? Tell me in detail."

"Uh"

Chen Ran scratched his head and replied, "They said it dropped by about 3 points, but I didn't feel anything significant."

"Um"

Ye Mingqiu replied.

Three points of basic physical potential is not a small amount, and it is quite important for early-stage psionicists. However, as the level increases and more professional energy is injected, the loss is not entirely unacceptable.

He took out a skill book called "Basic - Spirit" from his storage space and handed it to Chen Ran, saying, "If you learn this skill, it will slightly increase your basic physical potential. Otherwise, your level 1 attributes will be too low, and you will suffer a lot in the future."

"Thank you!"

"One thousand psionic points."

"Uh, can I retract my message, thank you?"

"No."

"Hey!"

Chen Ran's smile faded, and although he sighed on the surface, he was still very grateful to Ye Mingqiu in his heart.

After all, he's not stupid; how could he not see that it was sold to him at a rock-bottom price? The price wasn't actually how much he wanted; it was simply to consider his old classmate's feelings.

They're all J8 guys
"By the way, what level are you now? Do you have a fixed team? Don't let me catch up with you later!" Chen Ran asked with a smile.

He smiled happily because he had already signed a contract with the giants, which meant he would have a fixed and powerful team for exploring the spirit world, saving him a lot of effort. However, if Ye Mingqiu didn't have a team, he would need to spend extra time finding one, which might affect his leveling speed.

At this moment, Chen Ran was already secretly laughing. If Ye Mingqiu's level was low, he would bring him over to join him.

Although having two support heroes might be a bit of a problem, the opponent is a buffed hero support, and also a semi-mage, so the Giants' team will definitely agree.

"Level 2 at 90%, almost level 3."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"Level 1 too?"

Chen Ran stood there, stunned, staring blankly at his old classmate, his head suddenly buzzing.

For a normal support-type psychic, gaining 20% ​​experience in a single exploration of the spirit world is already quite good, and leveling up requires a strong team. Ye Mingqiu has only been a psychic for about a month now.

I gained 90% of the experience points in a month and reached level 2?

This upgrade speed is outrageous!
"Dude, how did you do that?"

Chen Ran asked incredulously.

"krypton."

Ye Mingqiu gave a simple answer.

"."

Chen Ran fell silent. Although he and Ye Mingqiu were eating at the same table, he felt that a deep barrier had been erected between them.

In his opinion, Ye Mingqiu must have used the early entry item and the world cycle refresh item, and quite a lot of them. Those items were extremely expensive, and he didn't even dare to look at them, especially the world cycle refresh item, which was simply beyond the reach of low-level spiritual energy users.

He sighed deeply and said, "When we used to hang out together, how come I never realized you were actually a hidden millionaire?"

"I thought we'd just slack off together, but I never expected you to be secretly learning magic and building up your strength, only to unleash it all in your senior year of high school. Tell me the truth, how long have you been accumulating this wealth?"

"."

Ye Mingqiu did not answer. Immediately afterwards, he heard a notification from the spirit world. He subconsciously swiped to see who had sent the message.

Shattered Star: Failed.

God: How are you now?
Shattered Star:

God: ?
Shattered Star: Don't ask!

Shattered Star: I'm going back to school in two hours. Can you pick me up at the school gate?

God: Okay.

Although I don't know what happened, it must not be a good thing, and Tang Ruobing must have had some special reason for asking him to pick him up.

Well.
Could it be that he was caught stealing the household registration book and then got a beating from both his parents?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingqiu suddenly felt a little unable to hold back his laughter. Although he was still trying to hold it in, his expression was gradually becoming difficult to maintain, as if he might burst out laughing at any moment.

"What's wrong? What's so funny?"

Chen Ran asked curiously.

"It's nothing, my friend just had a baby, and I was just happy for him," Ye Mingqiu replied.

"Damn it!"

Chen Ran chuckled and scolded, not asking any further questions. He then asked curiously, "Brother Qiu, what level have you reached in your meditation technique? Do you have any experience to share with me?"

"Uh"

Ye Mingqiu gave an awkward but polite smile. He didn't know how to answer this question because he had never studied meditation.

Meditation is indeed a great skill for magic-based classes, but the problem is that he's not a magic-based class at all, so after finding meditation a bit difficult to master, he hasn't really put much effort into it.

Spending a lot of psionic points to develop a meditation technique unrelated to his profession would be a huge loss for him, and even spending psionic points doesn't guarantee success in obtaining the meditation technique.

Because there might not be enough to buy!

The fundamental difference between meditation and skills is that meditation, like a special skill, is not limited by skill slots, and can be learned before becoming a psionicist, thereby increasing one's strength before entering the spirit world, making oneself stronger, and obtaining a better career.

Therefore, meditation is much more expensive than skills, and it's a huge waste to spend so much money to learn it.

It would be great if we could understand the underlying principles.

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

His comprehension talent is actually quite good. He comprehended a three-star skill at level 2, which is the best proof of that. Although part of the reason is the result of high-intensity battles on the battlefield, not everyone can gain comprehension improvement after high-intensity battles. The key is still the individual.

He has such talent; if he can understand some basic principles, he might be able to deduce his own unique meditation method. However, it would likely take a very long time, and it would be a difficult process.

"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous in asking. How about we talk about our experiences in the spirit world instead?"

Seeing that Ye Mingqiu did not answer, Chen Ran took the initiative to change the subject.

"Spirit world experience?"

Ye Mingqiu was silent for a moment, then said, "The most important lesson I learned during my short journey in the Spirit Realm is that side quests are not important. As long as you kill a lot of enemies in each world, you can get a lot of experience points to level up."

"Huh? But that's not what the textbook says. Doesn't the textbook say that the experience bonus from killing enemies is very small, and you can only get a lot of experience by completing missions?" Chen Ran asked in confusion.

"Actually, it's not a small amount. I get 40% experience every time I explore the world. Side quests aren't important," Ye Mingqiu said.

"."

Chen Ran fell into deep thought, then looked up again and asked curiously, "May I ask, how many monsters do you kill in each world? And how strong are they?"

"Well, there are about ten or twenty thousand elites, a few hundred leaders, and about seven or eight kings," Ye Mingqiu said after a brief recollection.

"what?"

Chen Ran was so frightened he almost jumped up, but when he thought of Ye Mingqiu's "money power," he understood. This guy had probably found a top-notch team that would smash through the world every time, helping him get the highest-level rewards.

Even so, he still needs to make enough contributions to the team. To make such a high contribution, there might be a significant element of spending money on in-game purchases.

Not
Is it worth spending so much money?
Even if you have money, you can't be this reckless, right?

Afterwards, Chen Ran regained his composure and said, "Brother Qiu, to be honest with you, the head of the teaching department told me before that he wanted me to get some information out of you. If there's anything you can't say, you should tell me in advance, and I definitely won't reveal it to you."

"You can say whatever you want, no problem."

Ye Mingqiu answered with a smile.

Although it didn't affect him much, Chen Ran's words made him feel comfortable. As expected of his old deskmate, his brother was reliable. Chen Ran wasn't the kind of person who would say everything to others.

Not everything should be said to others.
Hmm? I feel like I've forgotten something.
"Sigh, before I became a psionicist, although I had a concept of job levels, I wasn't really clear about it. Now, I feel like I'm becoming less and less worthy of Xiaoguang," Chen Ran said with a sigh, leaning back in his chair.

Xiao Guang?

I remembered!
Ye Mingqiu's gaze shifted, then he suddenly slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with rage, and roared, "Damn it! I almost forgot, how did you bring up the time we used to share a cup of coffee and take turns getting refills! Traitor! You're a traitor!"

"what?"

Chen Ran shuddered, his eyes darting away, avoiding Ye Mingqiu's gaze. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah... this was an accident! It was just an accident, I didn't mean to, you have to believe me! Actually, I didn't intend to say it at first, but the situation was a little special! Oh well!"

"Ah!"

Ye Mingqiu sat down again.

This matter doesn't actually have much impact, but it will be very embarrassing if people find out, like a past scandal being discovered.

After lunch, Ye Mingqiu arrived at the school gate.

Although there's still a long way to go, it's still necessary to come pick him up early. What if Tang Ruobing comes back before he arrives?
He casually leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state. Although there weren't many people around and the environment was a bit noisy, his focus and concentration were still enough to allow him to meditate in this environment.

Ye Mingqiu, the strongest support-type student, stood conspicuously at the school gate, and amidst the countless people coming and going, no one recognized him.

This is because he prioritized efficiency and didn't upload the photo immediately, instead focusing his time on studying. As a result, the leaderboard only updated his name without showing his photo, so even though other students knew that a top-tier enhanced hero support had emerged in the school, they didn't know who he was.

Ye Mingqiu didn't care about empty fame; he only cared about whether his strength would increase.

Shortly after

A yellow and white taxi stopped at the school gate. A girl in a light blue robe got out of the car, stepped into the school, and scanned her surroundings before finally fixing her gaze on Ye Mingqiu. Their eyes met, and her face twitched slightly, as if she wanted to express something.

But she held back, and just walked towards Ye Mingqiu calmly and casually as usual, saying, "Help me, I can't take it anymore."

"?"

Ye Mingqiu felt a little confused, but still went up to help Tang Ruobing.

The next moment, Tang Ruobing shared her status bar with him.

He saw the [Discipline] buff, which is a very special buff. Psionicists who receive the [Discipline] buff will not suffer any real damage, but they will suffer just as much pain. Moreover, the Discipline will retain the damage, and the pain will last for a long time.

"Aren't you going to purify it?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

"That old man's level is too high, and his skill strength far exceeds my purification limit. Damn it! It hurts!" Tang Ruobing replied, trying her best to keep her expression straight.

Old Deng?

Ye Mingqiu keenly caught the words, and at the same time, an alarm bell rose in his heart. He subconsciously looked around at his surroundings and said calmly, "Since you've gotten into trouble, I feel like I'm in a similar situation."

"It's okay, he won't hurt you."

As Tang Ruobing walked, her body trembled, as if she might fall at any moment. At this moment, she no longer cared whether anyone saw her, because it hurt too much.

Many people around them were looking at them. After all, the stunningly beautiful number one mage on the Favos leaderboard was being supported by a boy. Most people would take a look in this direction out of curiosity, but most of them wouldn't say anything.

"That's good. But... are you alright?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

He felt he was alright, which was probably related to Tang Ruobing. Most likely, she did or said something, otherwise he would be facing his furious father-in-law right now.

However, in the end, this was all Tang Ruobing's own doing. She put the ring on her ring finger and then went home and did something terrible.

She deserved to be beaten up. The fact that Ye Mingqiu wasn't implicated only shows that she has good character. She takes responsibility for her own actions, but there's really no need to be grateful for it.

"I have something going on right now, it's very serious."

Tang Ruobing stopped and turned to look at Ye Mingqiu, her eyes becoming watery, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

She bit her lip lightly and said, "Um... why don't you carry me back? I don't want to walk anymore."

Do you really think it's a good idea for me to carry you back now?

Ye Mingqiu asked helplessly, then became serious and said, "Also, don't you know how to use telekinetic magic?"

Tang Ruobing: (_|||)
