My talent panel can be increased.

Chapter 148 Bonus! Trial in the Minor Spirit Realm!

After the banquet

"Boom boom boom!"

Ye Mingqiu and his two companions arrived at the Dean of Students' office and gently knocked on the door. Soon, Zheng Xuejun's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, Zheng Xuejun was setting up an array in his office. Eight colorless stones were placed in the eight directions of the array, and the array patterns drawn with special dyes emitted a faint luster, giving it a mysterious and unique charm.

Tang Ruobing lowered her eyes, looking at the empty space not far in front of her, without disturbing the head of the teaching department's instructions.

Shattered Star: The stones on the ground are ethereal stones, which possess spatial attributes. They are very rare spatial attribute materials and are very expensive. They can be used to set up spatial arrays.

Shattered Star: The director has a very strong talent and possesses a rare spatial attribute, but unfortunately his growth potential is too weak. He can only teleport a single person a slightly longer distance, and it is impossible to teleport multiple people. Therefore, he must set up an array to assist in casting spells.

Divine Lord: Hmm, is the Director's spatial attribute an innate ability? What's its level?
Shattered Star: An A-rank spatial talent. Although its actual effects are limited to teleportation and short-distance instantaneous movement, and it has relatively large limitations, its rare attributes provide additional rank bonuses, so the final talent rating is A-rank.

God: Understood.

Soon, Zheng Xuejun finished setting up the formation. After checking it several times, he casually wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Next, I'll take you to an old place."

"It must be the fountain of life."

Feng Xinglie said with a smile, clearly having some prior knowledge of the benefits.

"Yes."

Zheng Xuejun nodded and continued, "When you first join the college entrance exam preparation team, everyone has a chance to bathe in the Fountain of Life to repair their damage. The effect is good, but overall it is still relatively limited because that is its least important function."

His smile deepened as he continued, "In fact, at the very source of the Fountain of Life lies a gateway to a small spirit world. The formation of the Fountain of Life is closely related to this small spirit world, which contains great opportunities."

"Come in, we'll talk as we walk, but don't leave the group without permission."

"Mmm." "Okay."

Ye Mingqiu and the other two nodded and entered the formation. Zheng Xuejun smiled and snapped his fingers, releasing a spell to activate the formation. In an instant, the light of teleportation completely enveloped the four of them, and the spatial teleportation fluctuations rippled out, taking them away from where they were.

Fountain of Life
Deep within the cave, Zheng Xuejun casually stood with one hand behind his back, looking at the Fountain of Life at its core and quickly explained, "The entrance to the Lesser Spirit Realm is at the deepest part of the Fountain of Life, and only first-tier spiritualists can enter it. Second-tier spiritualists cannot enter; forcibly entering will result in their immediate annihilation."

"According to intelligence, the Little Spirit Realm has an extremely high concentration of life force. Even if you do nothing, the body can be repaired and your physique improved by the abundant life force."

"However, in contrast, first-tier psionicists are too low-level and can easily enter the state of [psionic poisoning] inside. Therefore, normal psionicists have a limited time inside and must evacuate before they become deeply poisoned."

“There is a tall tower in the center of the Little Spirit Realm. Go directly to the tower without hesitation. After you win the tower trial, you will receive experience from the Spirit Realm and quickly increase your current level. If you challenge a higher level, you may even get rarer rewards.”

"We must challenge it with all our might!"

"Alright then, go ahead! Have a safe trip!"

Zheng Xuejun smiled and waved as he spoke.

"it is good."

Tang Ruobing nodded first, then pulled Ye Mingqiu and jumped directly into the Fountain of Life. Feng Xinglie also left decisively, while Ye Mingqiu still felt somewhat lost.

Why did you leave so soon?

Why don't you ask more about the specifics?
Sui Xing: Hurry up and get off. I'll talk to you later if there are any problems. If you don't leave, Lao Zheng will throw up again.

God: ?
God: Again?

Shattered Star: Give him some face, don't say anything to anyone, just pretend you don't know anything.

God: Okay.

After watching the three leave, Zheng Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, a feeling of nausea overwhelmed him, and he walked to the wall and skillfully pulled out a black plastic bag.

"vomit!"

Deep in the Fountain of Life
Extremely high concentrations of psionic energy gathered into a lake, and deep within the lake stood a pitch-black gate. On the stone tablet at the entrance, ancient language and script were engraved.

"Such a high concentration of psionic energy."

Feng Xinglie frowned slightly. He was already feeling a little uncomfortable, even though this was only the outer edge of the Lesser Spirit Realm.

I already felt unwell on the outskirts of the Little Spirit Realm, so it's hard to imagine what it would feel like to enter it, or how long it would take to enter a state of poisoning.

No!

The psionic energy concentration here is too high!
I must use purification spells regularly to improve my condition, otherwise I will have to leave prematurely due to psionic poisoning.

"What kind of writing is this? Do you recognize it?"

Ye Mingqiu casually walked up to the stone tablet, stroked his chin with one hand, looked at the text with a puzzled expression, and asked Tang Ruobing beside him.

"I don't know, it's probably some kind of ancient script. There probably aren't many people who can decipher it," Tang Ruobing replied.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in agreement.

He felt that the text on the stone tablet looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but the sense of familiarity was not strong. He must have seen similar text before, rather than the same thing.

Trial of ancient scripts.
After a brief moment of thought, Ye Mingqiu aimed the Eye of Omargon at the stone tablet. The Eye of Omargon, which had been dormant, slowly opened its eyes and looked at the words on the stone tablet, its eyes slightly narrowed.

[The Eye of Omargon: The inscription on the stone tablet seems to be related to deities. The script resembles ancient divine script, but is not entirely the same; only the font is similar. It appears to be derived from ancient divine script, but I cannot identify it precisely; I can only roughly understand some of its meaning.]

That's it
Ye Mingqiu gradually understood. No wonder he felt the script was somewhat familiar. It turned out to be another ancient script derived from the ancient god script. He had seen books with this script when searching for Kalidos during the battle in the world of [Eludnis].

However, the book was deemed to lack sufficient value by the spirit world and was not considered a prop, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. The fact that he could recall it now shows that Ye Mingqiu's memory is quite amazing.

“This small spirit realm is not simple. It seems to be a trial for the gods. No wonder the overflowing spiritual energy can form a spring of life,” Ye Mingqiu said.

"Well, let's go in."

Tang Ruobing nodded in response.

On the other side, Feng Xinglie looked at the two who seemed completely unaffected and couldn't help but sigh that these two guys were simply monsters. Under normal circumstances, even a level 10 hero-level psionicist would feel a little uncomfortable. He originally thought he was strong enough, but he didn't expect that he was still too weak compared to these two monsters.

[Notification: You have entered the Spirit World]

On the parched and desolate land, there was almost no sign of life. Terrifying psychic energy, like a calamity that devoured everything, lurked in this small spirit world.

Under normal circumstances, a moderate amount of psionic energy can promote biological advancement and plant growth. The more psionic energy there is, the better the effect. However, once the concentration of psionic energy exceeds a certain limit, things will begin to reverse. In a world with excessively high psionic energy concentration, neither plants nor animals can survive.

"What a desolate world."

Ye Mingqiu looked at the surrounding environment and said.

"The concentration of psionic energy is too high. Low-level plants and creatures cannot survive here. Even I might feel uncomfortable if I stay here for a long time," Tang Ruobing said, sensing the surging psionic energy in the air.

Is it just a feeling of discomfort?

Feng Xinglie's eyelids twitched. Compared to the two who seemed unaffected, he was now even more uncomfortable, as he was starting to feel some discomfort in his breathing. The concentration of spiritual energy here was too high, and he was feeling very unwell.

After a while, without encountering any danger, he couldn't hold on any longer.

So he took the initiative to say, "The concentration of psionic energy here is too high. The longer we stay, the less conducive it will be to our continued exploration. Let's go to the central tower as soon as possible; that's our final destination."

Ye Mingqiu raised his hand, and a large amount of [divine power] quickly condensed to cast a spell.

Radiant Shield, Holy Healing
The holy light completely enveloped Feng Xinglie, blocking the excessively high concentration of spiritual energy in the air. At the same time, the Holy Healing spell restored him to his best condition, as if he had never been affected by the excessively high concentration of spiritual energy.

"Such powerful spellcasting ability"

Feng Xinglie muttered to himself.

When it comes to magic, the layman sees the spectacle, but the expert sees the intricacies. Ye Mingqiu's casting speed just now was quite abnormal, and it was suspected that he used a huge amount of spiritual energy to use [High-Speed ​​Interruption Casting], completing the high-speed casting by doubling the consumption.

If that were all, he wouldn't be too surprised. But the problem is that Ye Mingqiu used two spells in a short period of time, which would probably increase the amount of spiritual energy consumed by several times.

This guy is wasting his psionic energy!

At that moment, he discovered that Ye Mingqiu was actively absorbing the excessively high concentration of violent spiritual energy in the environment, digesting it into his body, and his expression remained almost unchanged.

What the hell!

Can this spirit be absorbed in this way?

High concentrations of natural psionic energy inevitably come with impurities. If you absorb small amounts and purify them gradually, it's fine. However, if you absorb too much at once, you will most likely enter a state of "psionic poisoning" or "impurity poisoning".

But Ye Mingqiu didn't. He raised his hand as if nothing had happened, looked at his palm, condensed [divine power] in his palm, and then began to study it casually.

“His resistance to abnormal statuses is over one hundred. This level of psionic energy cannot affect him. There’s no need to worry about that kind of thing,” Tang Ruobing explained with a confident smile.

"monster."

Feng Xinglie commented.

Since Ye Mingqiu possesses such terrifying resistance to abnormal states, he can absorb spiritual energy here without restraint. All the spiritual energy in this world is his reserve energy, and his strength here is estimated to skyrocket to a terrifying level.

Thinking of this, Feng Xinglie subconsciously turned his head curiously and asked Tang Ruobing, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"It's alright, it should last for a few hours without any problem."

Tang Ruobing replied.

a couple of hours?

Feng Xinglie's mindset gradually changed. He originally thought that the mage, who was an 8th-level enhanced hero, was a genius in his own right, but compared to these two, he felt like a goblin encountered by a hero.

The gap is too big, ridiculously big.

Whew, take a deep breath, calm down. The problem isn't me, it's those two monsters.

"Please wait a moment while I digest some of the resources. I'll be done soon," Ye Mingqiu said.

“No problem, I’ll go check the situation first,” Tang Ruobing nodded. “With the shield, I’m fine.”

Feng Xinglie replied with a smile. He knew very well that the other two were much stronger than him, so he could just follow along and there was no need to go against them.

Tang Ruobing and Ye Mingqiu treat their people well. Show them a good attitude, hang out with them, and don't hold them back. If they encounter difficulties, they will definitely do their best to help.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded, then took out the [Kiss of the Deep Sea] from his storage space and drank it. Under the extremely high concentration of spiritual energy, the impurities in his body were quickly removed, and the cooling speed of the attribute-enhancing item was accelerated countless times.

This situation is similar to soaking in the Fountain of Life before, but the difference is that the concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher. Ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to enjoy it, but Ye Mingqiu's resistance to abnormal states is strong enough to enjoy this benefit.

[Note: Deep Sea Kiss has been used.]

[Hint: Base Spirit +14]

Current spirit: 87.1 (47)

Ye Mingqiu originally only had 33 points of spirit, so when he used the attribute boosting item with a maximum of 70, he gained a huge benefit, which was even greater than when he increased his agility attribute. Now his spirit energy limit has been increased to 4525.

After finishing, Ye Mingqiu gently exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling very comfortable.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ruobing said, "Based on my detection just now, we now have three paths to choose from."

"The first option is to go directly through the canyon, but the terrain of the canyon is a bit dangerous, and the intensity of psionic energy is the highest there, so we might encounter some dangers."

"The second option is to take a detour to the left, along the route that goes close to the sea. The psionic energy intensity is slightly lower, but there is a possibility of encountering dangers originating from the deep sea."

"The third option is to fly over from above, but there is a risk of encountering dangers from the sky, and the intensity of psionic energy in the sky is also quite high."

Feng Xinglie raised his hand and asked curiously, "What about the road on the right? Is there a problem?"

“The psionic concentration is even higher than in the middle, which is not only dangerous but also farther away, so it will not be taken into consideration,” Tang Ruobing replied in a cool voice.

"Oh." Feng Xinglie nodded in relief.

"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so let's go straight through the canyon. There's no need to take a detour."

Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

The canyon is deep and bizarre.

The ground here has many cracks, and when you step on it, it makes a clear, ethereal sound, as if it might collapse and shatter at any moment. The three people walking here are always on guard.

All three of them possessed spellcasting abilities and could use levitation to the moment the ground collapsed, avoiding falling directly into the endless abyss. As a simpler path, this place was clearly more dangerous.

Moreover, the concentration of psionic energy here is ridiculously high. Water made of psionic energy flows through the cracks. The viscous, glowing stream looks strange and beautiful, but in reality, it contains an extremely terrifying danger.

If a psionicist falls into the water, they will most likely be "drowned" by the extremely high concentration of psionic energy. Even though Ye Mingqiu has extremely high resistance to abnormal statuses, he doesn't want to fall into this place.

After all, the concentration of psionic energy in the air here is already quite high, so it's hard to imagine how high the concentration of psionic energy in the psionic stream must be.

That would be extremely dangerous!
Ye Mingqiu walked at the front of the group with steady and natural steps. He was the most reliable member of the three-person team. He could not back down when he had to take the initiative, and he had to take responsibility.

Tang Ruobing followed closely behind, her sharp gaze constantly sweeping over the huge crystal and the psionic stream, always on guard against any danger that might emerge from any direction.

Feng Xinglie walked on the other side of Ye Mingqiu, also observing the environment. He felt very safe because he was wearing Ye Mingqiu's shield.

This shield is made of [Divine Power], an energy with extremely high base strength. Although the shield's strength is only around 400 on the surface, it can actually play a significant role. A normal Radiant Shield cannot block the side effects caused by excessively high concentrations of psionic energy.

"Be careful, the intensity of psionic energy has suddenly changed."

Feng Xinglie was the first to stop, look up at the sky and shout.

Tang Ruobing's body surged with spiritual energy, and three magical constructs had already formed around her, ready to be unleashed at any moment. Ye Mingqiu immediately reinforced Feng Xinglie's shield again, while simultaneously casting a radiant shield around Tang Ruobing and himself, his body bursting with terrifying [Divine Power], ready to unleash even stronger attacks at any time.

The next moment, the strange phenomenon indeed occurred!

"boom!!"

A tremendous roar echoed through the canyon, causing the mountains and earth to tremble violently. On the rock walls on both sides, the giant crystals with twisted shapes suddenly emitted a strong light. The light had an extremely high spiritual energy intensity and was extremely powerful as a light attribute attack.

but!

Protecting the three at this moment is the strongest light-attribute power - [Divine Power], and the Radiant Shield successfully blocked the sudden attack of this dazzling light.

But that wasn't all. Wherever the light reached, the psionic streams flowing through the cracks in the earth were awakened by the light. The psionic liquid seemed to come alive, surging and converging wildly, forming countless monsters made of psionic energy in a short period of time.

The psionic monsters come in various forms; some resemble twisted worms, others humans, and still others enormous beasts. Their bodies constantly flow with psionic liquid, emanating terrifying and powerful psionic energy fluctuations and possessing a truly formidable aura.

"Watch out! Don't let them get close!"

Feng Xinglie exclaimed in surprise.

These psionic monsters are not inherently strong, but the problem lies in the fact that they are composed of extremely high concentrations of psionic energy. Their very movement emits extremely strong psionic energy fluctuations, making the already powerful psionic energy in this area even more terrifying.

If a monster gets close or even touches him, Feng Xinglie seriously suspects that he will directly enter a state of psionic poisoning, and may even lose his combat ability in a short period of time due to psionic poisoning.

Although the straight path is shorter, it is the most difficult, and these psionic monsters will probably be hard to deal with.

This is not over yet!

Directly in front of the canyon, a relatively open area of ​​ground rapidly arches upwards.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the rock was torn apart by a giant, pitch-black hand. The hand itself was covered in heavy obsidian-like stone armor, with dark red patterns shimmering at its joints.

Broken stones flew like raindrops, and with the force of the giant hand, a huge outline hidden deep in the earth slowly appeared before everyone.

A terrifying colossus, five stories tall, covered in jet-black armor, with its joints shimmering with dark red light, was revealed in its entirety. Its deep, dark red eyes locked onto the three of them, unleashing incredibly terrifying psionic energy fluctuations.

Countless psionic monsters charged forward, approaching the three with terrifying psionic energy fluctuations. The enormous colossus strode forward, each movement causing the entire canyon to tremble, containing incomparably terrifying power.

"careful!"

Feng Xinglie exclaimed in horror, his voice changing tone, but his speed was not slow at all. He retreated while casting a buff spell - Gathering Spirit!
joke!

Although he wasn't strong, as the original strongest mage of the Second High School, his understanding of his own basics was accurate. As a cautious person, Feng Xinglie would learn all kinds of spells that might be used and consider all possible situations.

In the current situation, his strength is clearly not at its peak. While casting attack or control spells is indeed useful, casting support spells to buff stronger teammates would obviously bring more benefits.

Feng Xinglie never believes that just because he is a mage, he must deal damage or be the main DPS. He makes different judgments based on different situations, which is perfectly normal.

"Humph!"

Tang Ruobing smiled. After feeling her mental attributes amplified, she slammed her staff into the ground and instantly unleashed the three different types of spells she had prepared.

Freeze! Extreme cold realm! Ice storm!
In an instant, a terrifying aura of extreme cold erupted from Tang Ruobing's center, accompanied by the crackling sound of the frozen ice spreading, and the giant waves of extreme cold enveloped and covered countless monsters.

"Wow~"

In front of Tang Ruobing, a large fan-shaped area was filled with countless psionic monsters of various shapes, rubble kicked up by the advancing colossus, and liquid psionic energy falling from the psionic monsters. Everything was frozen and covered by a dark blue solid ice.

At this moment, she pressed the pause button on the noisy battlefield.

Tang Ruobing stood in the center of the frozen world, her long hair fluttering slightly from the surging icy breath. Her exquisite profile, set against the backdrop of the deep blue icy light, appeared dignified and unapproachable.

"So strong."

Feng Xinglie's heart raced, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Based on his understanding of psionicists, Tang Ruobing's attack had clearly exceeded the limits of a first-tier psionicist. The power of this move had probably reached the second-tier level!

She's a monster!

"Wow!"

Suddenly, an astonishing phenomenon occurred!

The giant crystals on the stone wall once again emitted a dazzling light, shining on the colossus and the psionic monster. The dark red light in the colossus's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if it had gained more energy, and its body also burst forth with even more powerful kinetic energy.

"Crack!"

As the colossus struggled, its frozen body trembled violently, and the solid ice covering its surface cracked and sputtered, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly.

Even more terrifying, more psionic monsters kept emerging from the cracked stream in the distance, forming entirely new psionic monsters that kept rushing towards the three of them.

"not good!"

Feng Xinglie's expression changed, and a sense of crisis surged within him. He looked at Ye Mingqiu beside him, thinking that if nothing unexpected happened, this older brother should be able to solve the problem.

As expected, a terrifying aura, as dazzling as the rising sun, suddenly erupted, and a brilliant, golden light burst forth from Ye Mingqiu's body, with massive amounts of [Divine Power] continuously gushing outwards.

However, what's even more terrifying is that Ye Mingqiu continuously absorbed the massive amount of spiritual energy in the environment, incorporated it into his body, and then transformed it into spiritual energy, which in turn erupted as [Divine Power]! A continuous eruption!
This is the ultimate power of extremely high abnormal state resistance in areas with extremely high concentrations of psionic energy!

The terrifying light of [Divine Power] continuously erupted, solidified, and then took shape! Soon, a colossal Dharma image, towering between heaven and earth, rose from the ground behind Ye Mingqiu, looking at the psionic monster and colossus before him as if they were ants.

The divine power contained within the Dharma image continued to increase as Ye Mingqiu absorbed the spiritual energy from the environment, unleashing even more divine power, making its aura increasingly majestic and terrifying.

The Dharma Image was radiant with dazzling golden light. Its body was enormous and somewhat blurry because the total amount of [divine power] that constituted it was so great that Ye Mingqiu found it difficult to control.

Even so, the power of the Dharma Form was far greater than usual, and the overflowing [divine power] emitted a flowing divine light, its power no less than that of the light of the stone wall crystal.

"Crack!"

Ye Mingqiu stretched his neck, looked at the giant statue walking towards him, and smiled excitedly. He also stepped towards the giant statue, and the golden Dharma image followed him, causing the entire canyon to tremble.

The two terrifying giants approached each other in the narrow passageway, their speed increasing and the distance between them growing ever closer.

At a certain moment, the colossus and the magician simultaneously raised their massive arms, attacking with a deafening roar that crushed the air, colliding with each other's fists.

"boom!!!"

The earth shook and the canyon was awe-inspiring.
