Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

November 1st, morning, Nine-Story Tower, Trial Room.

Jiang Chen ranked ninth last month, and he has 50 hours of trial room time available each month, giving him ample time to use it.

Lying on the sofa and putting on his helmet, Jiang Chen arrived at the space where the Trial Tower was located.

The earth is silver, the starry sky is dazzling, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that seven-story tower.

However, Jiang Chen's goal this time was not the Trial Tower, but the foundation of a Spiritual Mind Master.

After Jiang Chen revealed his purpose for coming—to observe the basics of mental cultivation—a table and a chair suddenly appeared on the silver ground, with a book on them.

The cover of this book, however, is black with a hint of starlight, and it has six large characters written on it: "The Foundation of Spiritual Mastery".

"This manual is three times more expensive than Dragon Blood." Jiang Chen sighed, picked up the manual, and began to read it.

The Foundations of Spiritual Mastery

"The power of the mind originates from the human spirit and soul. The body is the foundation and basis of the spirit."

"Mental power can be both tangible and intangible."

"In reality, it can contain astonishing power, allowing one to control objects remotely and kill enemies from a hundred meters away."

"The 'illusion' can silently infiltrate a person's mind and kill the enemy without a sound."

"All mentalists are mainly divided into three types: the first type controls objects remotely to kill enemies. The second type infiltrates the enemy's consciousness to attack. The third type tames beasts."

The book is roughly half-filled with details on the first method, "remote control of objects to kill enemies," while the remaining half mainly describes the second method, "infiltrating into a person's consciousness to attack." As for the third method, "beast taming," it is described the least.

"The strength of a psychic master specializing in object manipulation can be divided into three aspects: 'psychic power intensity,' 'weaponry,' and 'technique.' This book mainly focuses on the 'technique' aspect. In terms of technique, a psychic's strength is mainly determined by their ability to control multiple weapons simultaneously while maintaining maximum attack power."

Seeing this, Jiang Chen launched a series of flying needles. By the ninth attempt, he could still maintain his strongest power, but the more needles he threw, the more scattered they became.

"Keep watching. The Zerg Queens are all Soul Masters. I should be using Soul Annihilation. Let's see if I can find one."

The issue of psychological attacks is very complex. Clearly, achievements in this area on Earth are not particularly high.

The manual records a total of 18 attack methods. These include techniques such as "Dream Bewitching," "Illusionary Demon Eye," "Mental Spike," and "Soul Tremor," among many others, all quite famous, totaling 18.

The method of murder was—

Use secret techniques to distract the opponent, then control objects remotely to kill them.

"First, use a secret technique, then control objects from a distance?"

"What kind of soul technique is this? It's so pathetic, so poor, Earth..."

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, utterly disappointed by this so-called mental attack.

However, Jiang Chen still planned to cultivate those 18 secret techniques; there was no harm in learning them.

Part Three – Animal Taming.

The book records that monsters can be tamed through mental power. Currently, there are nine mentalists on Earth who have successfully tamed monsters. However, the method for taming monsters is only recorded in one way—mind communication.

How to make friends with a psychic monster?

Jiang Chen simply gave up; he figured it was better to just beat them into submission.

After reading it, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there aren't many good spiritual and soul techniques on Earth, this foundation is enough for him, who isn't even a planetary-level guy yet.

Once he reaches the planetary level, even better things await him to collect.

"Something is better than nothing, let's start practicing!" Jiang Chen was in high spirits and began to practice.

……

On the fifth floor of the nine-story building, there was a small martial arts training hall.

Wearing a loose white robe, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle. His eyes were deep as he silently stared at the twelve flying needles floating in front of him. With his mind, he controlled the twelve silver-black flying needles, which floated around him.

The speed of the 12 flying needles sometimes accelerated and sometimes decelerated, passing each other again and again, seemingly about to collide, but never actually colliding.

Snapped

The two flying needles collided and failed.

"The Celestial Gods' Record is really difficult," Jiang Chen sighed.

The "Celestial Gods' Illustrated Catalogue" is a training method for spiritual practitioners specializing in "Controlling Logistics" within the "Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery" manual. It contains a total of 99 illustrations.

However, according to the manual, even the strongest mentalist on Earth can only practice up to the 18th illustration.

After mastering the Heavenly Divine Record of Spiritual Master's Control over Logistics, Jiang Chen continued to cultivate 18 secret techniques for Spiritual Master's attacks.

The Dream Illusion, the Illusionary Eye, the Mental Spike, the Soul Shock, and many other secret techniques were also the first secret techniques that Jiang Chen had come into contact with for mental attacks.

Jiang Chen's eyes sparkled, as if a galaxy was slowly flowing within them...

Time always flies when you're practicing.

December has arrived in the blink of an eye.

In November, Jiang Chen and those who accepted the challenge had a "friendly" sparring session, with each student enthusiastically giving Jiang Chen at least 1 billion yuan as a thank-you gift.

William and Candice, in particular, were incredibly enthusiastic, each giving Jiang Chen a gift worth 100 billion.

As expected, Jiang Chen won the challenge decisively, reaping 870 billion yuan in a month.

……

June 20th, morning.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance of the elite training camp.

boom!

A streak of purplish-red light stopped in the air above the elite training camp in the blink of an eye; it was a purplish-red triangular fighter jet.

splash

The hatch opened automatically, and a person stepped out.

The man looked to be around 30 years old, with long, flowing hair, always wearing a slight smile, and a handsome face that brought peace to people's hearts.

"Greetings, Inspector," Jiang Chen greeted respectfully.

"Hmm." Inspector Liu nodded. "I heard that a genius emerged from my Extreme Martial Arts Academy's elite training camp."

"We're passing through Australia today, so we'll take you along too. You'll also get to see what our genius students look like."

"You flatter me, Inspector," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, are you ready? If you're ready, come on up!" Inspector Liu said with a slight smile.

"Yes." Jiang Chen didn't have much to bring. He was carrying a backpack, wearing a combat uniform, a communication watch, and holding a long gun. His specially made pocket contained flying needles.

The only difference was that he carried a shield.

He is a mentalist, and a high-level war god's mentalist at that. When necessary, he can stand on a shield and fly directly on it with the support of his mental power!

This is another advantage of mentalists: they can fly in another way even below the planetary level, and as a high-level war god mentalist, he will be very fast.

"Alright, let's go." Inspector Liu nodded, the fighter jet's cabin door closed, and it slowly rose.

At 9:12 AM on December 20th, Jiang Chen boarded a fighter jet and left Hongning Base City.

Destination – Australia.

On the fighter jet, Inspector Liu watched Jiang Chen's excited and nervous appearance, and chatted and talked with Jiang Chen in a very friendly manner.

As they chatted, Inspector Liu began to introduce his fighter jet, "Jiang Chen, did you know that this is an intelligent fighter jet?"

"Intelligent fighter jet?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, showing great interest.

"Yes. This is a 'Qiankun-level' intelligent fighter jet. The cost of materials alone is countless." Inspector Liu couldn't help but feel a little proud. "In critical moments, I can control it to withstand attacks from King-level monsters. Even King-level monsters won't be able to destroy this fighter jet."

"Its materials are far superior to those of SS-class weapons."

"Impressive," Jiang Chen praised.

Liu He must be a legendary "spaceship enthusiast" to spend most of his wealth on a fighter jet, having an excessive passion for spaceships.

Just like car enthusiasts and spaceship enthusiasts before the Great Nirvana, even though they were very poor, it couldn't stop them from loving all kinds of expensive and luxury cars.

"Having your own fighter jet on Earth is really convenient; it's at least faster than flying on your own. I should buy one if I have the chance," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Having a spaceship in the universe would be even more convenient. Of course, this refers to spaceships that are at least B or C level. A-level spaceships are extremely slow to leave the solar system and cannot reach the speed of light for interstellar travel.

On Earth, the Qiankun-level intelligent fighter jet is already among the best fighter jets available. No matter how much money you have, you still can't buy it unless you're an insider at the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.

This fighter jet is very fast; it will be almost at the Australian continent in about ten minutes.

"We'll be there soon," Inspector Liu said solemnly. "Now, let me remind you."

"Even before the Great Nirvana, the Australian continent was known for its diverse and abundant animal species."

"The Australian continent today is arguably the region with the most astonishing and concentrated number of monsters in the world. Because the Australian continent is isolated from other landmasses, the land monsters here are quite different from those on other continents."

"Furthermore, because of their large numbers, King-level monsters have emerged. If you encounter a King-level monster now, you will almost certainly die. So remember not to approach areas with a high density of monsters."

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded. If he were surrounded by a king-level monster, he would be dead. So, treasure hunting in Australia was also a challenge for him.

However, the treasure is right there. If he obtains a spirit of plants and trees, he can quickly become a high-level war god. At that time, his body and mental power will both be at the high-level war god level, and he will not be far from the planetary level.

Soon, the fighter jet landed and the cabin door opened.

Jiang Chen jumped out of the fighter jet and looked around at the scenery.

This is a vast wasteland with lush vegetation, and in the distance, one can vaguely see the shadows of some monsters.

柳巡查使大声喊道：「姜辰，请通过通讯手錶记住现在位置的详细坐标。现在是2056年12月20下午9点15分。」

"Our passenger plane will pick you up at 12 noon on the 19th of next month, right here, and take you back to Hongning Base City."

"Of course, it might not be me then, it could be someone else."

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Chen nodded and said loudly, "Thank you for seeing me off, Inspector."

"Just doing it as a favor," Inspector Liu said casually. "Good luck, little guy."

After saying this, Inspector Liu boarded his fighter jet and left.

Now, Jiang Chen's treasure hunt adventure has officially begun!
