"Concentrate your mind. Once you can withstand the sixth level of mental pressure, your mental strength will continue to grow rapidly for a period of time."

Professor Ji's voice rang in Jiang Chuan's ears.

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and remained focused.

"Next is the sixth floor!" Professor Ji stopped explaining to the students what the sixth floor meant and focused intently on Jiang Chuan's condition.

Once something feels wrong, the pressure will be relieved.

"Uh... um!!"

With a muffled groan, Jiang Chuan successfully withstood the mental pressure of the sixth level.

Professor Ji smiled with satisfaction.

"Well done. I'll keep this Forging God Necklace for now. I'll return the improved Forging God Necklace to you during the next class."

Jiang Chuan was still somewhat dazed and did not respond immediately to Professor Ji's words.

Several seconds passed before the blurry vision cleared.

He slowly stood up, said "thank you" to Professor Ji, and then turned back to his seat.

The mental pressure on the sixth floor was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If one can continue to cultivate under this pressure, one's spiritual realm will likely reach the second stage in less than six months.

.........

In the blink of an eye, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Jiang Chuan, having recovered, caught up with Professor Ji.

"Teacher, I'd like to learn about the impact of forging materials on the effects of magical artifacts. Are there any books I can read?"

Professor Ji looked Jiang Chuan up and down with great interest: "You're very interested in forging magical artifacts? There aren't many students like you anymore."

"Let me think... Forging materials affect the effects of magical artifacts... I suggest you read these two books; they're perfect for you."

As he spoke, Professor Ji tore open a spatial rift beside him, reached in and took out two books, one thin and one thick.

This is a portable space that only a space mage can create, and it's much more useful than a space ring.

Jiang Chuan watched with envy.

"These two books, one an introduction to magical artifact forging and the other an advanced course in magical artifact forging, contain the knowledge you're looking for. Also, if you want to know about the latest international research progress in forging, you can send me a message," Professor Ji said.

"Thank you, teacher."

Jiang Chuan was about to leave with his book when Professor Ji called out to him, "Release your mental energy; I need to confirm something."

Jiang Chuan found it strange, but still released his mental energy.

A moment later, Professor Ji said, "I knew it."

"Is there something wrong with my mental strength?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"If my perception is correct, you have a special talent in mental abilities," Professor Ji said with a smile.

"?!"

Jiang Chuan was startled.

Do I have a special talent for mental abilities?

He quickly pressed for details about what kind of talent it was.

Professor Ji then explained, "Your mental strength possesses a resilience that ordinary mages lack. This resilience gives your mental strength a strong ability to withstand pressure. In other words, you are very suitable for cultivating your mental strength by pushing it to its limits."

Is this my true innate talent?

Jiang Chuan immediately had a thought: "Is there no limit to how much mental energy can be extracted?"

"No."

Professor Ji shook his head and said, "There are limits to exploitation. When you suddenly feel a suffocating, drowning-like throbbing sensation deep in your soul, it means you should rest. Otherwise, if you continue, your soul will suffer great damage."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, teacher!"

"Make good use of your talent; your spiritual realm will greatly help you with each future advancement."

After saying that, Professor Ji turned and left.

With the two books in hand, Jiang Chuan returned to his dormitory.

There's only one theory class today, so I can use the rest of the time to read these two books.

If we know what effects each material produces, we'll be more confident in crafting magical artifacts in the future.

...............

Several days have passed.

"Da da da..."

Jiang Chuan's fingers tapped incessantly on a page, his expression thoughtful.

The text above reads:

"As a special type of magical artifact, the principle behind the emergence of sentience in companion vessels has long been a focus of research in the forging world..."

The following content mainly describes why companion vessels can develop sentience, and how international blacksmiths attempt to imbue ordinary magical artifacts with sentience.

This research has been a hot topic in the global forging industry for the past decade.

However, to this day, whether it is due to insufficient material quality, lack of spiritual essence, or lack of time to mature, there has been no progress.

Jiang Chuan's focus was not on how to develop intelligence, but on the last paragraph on this page.

That was a concept proposed by an American master blacksmith, which linked demons and magical artifacts together through some kind of contract, and perhaps a special magical artifact could be obtained.

Specifically, the demonic artifact is usually in beast form, possessing all the abilities of demons, and even a complete life, with the potential for growth like a demon.

During battle, the beast form transforms into a weapon form, which not only allows the user to wield the power of demons, but also increases in rank as the beast form's level increases.

Perhaps this magical artifact could be called a divine weapon.

If we could truly create divine weapons and magical artifacts, the combat power of mages would definitely undergo a tremendous change.

Although not all mages can obtain such magical artifacts, even if only a small number of people can obtain them, it is still a huge improvement.

Of course, the Holy City is an exception.

Jiang Chuan has reason to suspect that the Holy City will define the divine weapons and magical artifacts as evil objects and then ban them globally.

"I don't know how to create divine weapons and magical artifacts?" Jiang Chuan stroked his chin, this was his usual way of thinking.

It's incredibly difficult to imagine turning demons, beings of flesh and blood, into magical artifacts.

Maybe the crafting menu can do that?

Jiang Chuan decided to test the waters by collecting a few demons and magical artifacts during this time. If successful, it would mean that he had mastered the power to change the world.

…………

It's time for another forging class.

Jiang Chuan arrived at the classroom early and sat down, waiting for Professor Ji to appear.

He had been looking forward to it for many days.

I'm looking forward to seeing what special effects the improved Forging God Necklace will have.

Professor Ji arrived at the classroom before all the students had arrived.

"Teacher, my Forging God Necklace?" Jiang Chuan took the initiative.

"It's been improved." Professor Ji took out the Forging God Necklace and handed it back to Jiang Chuan.

From the outside, the necklace looks unchanged.

"You're lucky. I happened to obtain several rare and special spatial materials. After some improvements, it can now spontaneously release mental pressure no more than the eighth level of the Three-Step Tower, enough for you to cultivate to the sixth realm of mental power. Beyond that, simple mental pressure won't be enough to accelerate your progress," Professor Ji said.

"Thank you, teacher!" Jiang Chuan excitedly put away the necklace.

The spiritual power of the sixth realm is already extremely strong.

Its bonus to the Mind type is comparable to that of a top-tier Soul Seed in the Element type.

Most importantly, he can cultivate the Mind System without entering the Three-Step Tower!

How much cultivation time will this save?
