Chapter 2: Mental Power – I Woke Up on My Own
When Luo Feng helped Luo Hongguo out of Tiandu Garden, he could still feel the sweat on his father's body through his arm.
That wasn't sweat from the training field.
It was through working under the scorching sun, moving furniture and carrying heavy loads, that I earned my living little by little.
Luo Feng just crippled Zhang Haobai.
But the fire in my heart did not die down.
He knew that if he had been any later, his father would have suffered more than just a few harsh words today.
"Xiaofeng."
Luo Hongguo took a few steps, then finally couldn't help but ask, "You just said you passed the preliminary martial artist assessment?"
Luo Feng nodded.
"Passed."
Luo Hongguo stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Luo Feng, his lips moved, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Just now in the courtyard, his mind was filled with worry.
Worried about the police.
I'm worried about the Zhang family.
He was worried that his son might ruin his future in a moment of impulsiveness.
It wasn't until Luo Feng uttered the words "It's over" that Luo Hongguo seemed to suddenly realize what was happening.
His son has really come to this.
Quasi-martial artist.
After passing the practical assessment, one becomes a formal martial artist.
This home will truly be different from now on.
Luo Hongguo's eyes reddened, and he quickly turned his head away, wiping his face with the back of his dusty hand.
"Okay, okay."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"Your mom will be so happy when she finds out."
As Luo Feng watched his father's retreating figure, the coldness in his chest slowly eased a little.
"dad."
"Um?"
"Don't tolerate this kind of person in the future."
Luo Hongguo was stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously wanted to say a few honest words.
For example, it's better to do less than more.
For example, ordinary families should avoid causing trouble.
But remembering how Luo Feng had stood in front of him just now, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
My son is no longer the child who can only hide at home and practice hard.
He has grown up.
Luo Hongguo said in a low voice, "Dad knows."
Luo Feng nodded and said nothing more.
In his mind, Zhou Yan suddenly spoke.
"Friendly reminder: You are currently in debt for 20.1 million."
Luo Feng's eyes remained fixed.
"Shut up."
"The customer's poor attitude will not be recorded in the credit score at this time."
The pale gold ledger was unfolded.
Current Debt Ledger
[Risk Warning Loan: Principal 10 Huaxia Coins, 0% repaid, 10 yuan outstanding, progress 0%]
[Martial Arts Quick Start Loan: Principal 1800 million Chinese Yuan, 0% repaid, 1800 million outstanding, progress 0%]
[Martial Arts Level Deterrence Loan: Principal 200 million Chinese Yuan, 0% repaid, 200 million outstanding, progress 0%]
Current total liabilities: 2010 million Chinese Yuan
[Acceptable items for repayment: cash, monster materials, weapons and equipment, plant spirits, wood crystals, and other valuable treasures.]
Luo Feng looked at the string of numbers.
More than 20 million.
For him right now, it's an absolute huge debt.
But he didn't regret it.
If he had to do it again, he would still sign.
The father was not pushed over.
The worker was not seriously injured.
Zhang Haobai fell to the ground.
He also gained practical physical fitness and injury control experience in advance.
This is a fair deal.
"How will you repay it?"
Luo Feng asked.
"Kill monsters, collect materials, sell them for money, and pay off debts."
Zhou Yan's voice was crisp and clear.
"From now on, don't ask how strong the enemy is, ask how much it's worth first."
Luo Feng did not respond.
He helped his father into the car.
On the way home, Luo Hongguo didn't ask any more questions.
But Luo Feng knew that his father must have a lot to say.
He also had many things he couldn't say.
Zhou Yan's existence cannot be told to his family.
It's not that I don't trust my parents.
The less people know about something, the safer it is.
……
Evening, Mingyue Residential Area.
As soon as Luo Feng entered the house, his mother, Gong Xinlan, came to greet him.
She first noticed the dust on Luo Hongguo's clothes and the abrasions on his arms, and her expression changed immediately.
"Old Luo, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just got it while moving things."
Luo Hongguo smiled and waved his hand.
Gong Xinlan had no reason to believe it.
Before she could ask any more questions, Luo Hongguo looked at Luo Feng, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"Xiao Feng passed the preliminary martial artist assessment today."
The room fell silent instantly.
Luo Hua, sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly looked up.
"elder brother?"
Gong Xinlan was also stunned.
"Xiaofeng, really?"
Luo Feng looked at his mother and younger brother and nodded.
"real."
The next moment, Gong Xinlan's tears fell down her cheeks.
She quickly turned around to wipe it, but the more she wiped, the more it spread.
Luo Hua's eyes also reddened, but she laughed very hard.
"I knew it, brother, you could do it."
Luo Feng looked at them, and his heart ached.
This family has suffered so much.
The father works outside moving goods and doing renovations, the mother takes care of the household chores, and the younger brother, who sits in a wheelchair, never complains.
He used to be able to train relentlessly.
No matter how hard you train, you still have to persevere step by step.
It's different now.
There is debt.
There is an account.
They also have the ability to acquire it ahead of time.
Debts can be repaid.
Their strength is real.
After nightfall.
Luo Feng sat on the edge of the bed, intending to review the day's events, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
The pain came on very suddenly.
It felt like countless needles were piercing from the depths of my mind.
Luo Feng groaned and pressed his hand against the edge of the bed.
The water glass in the room trembled slightly.
The pen on the table rolled halfway around.
The training knife in the corner also emitted a very faint tremor.
Luo Feng suddenly looked up.
The next moment, the water glass actually floated an inch off the table.
For the first time, Zhou Yan's voice showed a noticeable fluctuation.
"etc."
Luo Feng's forehead was covered in sweat.
"What happened?"
Zhou Yan did not answer immediately.
He seemed to have seen something extremely illogical.
The pale gold ledger flipped through pages frantically, lines of data flashing by.
[Mental fluctuation detection in progress.]
[Awakening of spiritual power.]
[Awakening Intensity: Abnormal.]
[Awakening Stability: Abnormal.]
The customer did not apply for a spiritual loan.
Customers are becoming increasingly aware of their own capabilities.
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment.
He cursed inwardly.
As expected of Luo Feng.
As expected of the protagonist.
Before the cheat code even granted him telekinesis, he activated it himself.
"Luo Feng".
Zhou Yan's voice returned to normal, but it was much more serious than usual.
"You have awakened your spiritual power."
Luo Feng stared at the suspended water glass, his breathing gradually calming down.
"A spiritualist?"
"That's right," Zhou Yan said. "And even without me, you would have awakened. It's just that now, the timeline has been moved forward, and the starting point is higher."
The water glass swayed gently in the air.
Luo Feng was not so excited as to lose control.
He just stared at the water glass, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
For a martial artist, it's the path to changing their family's destiny.
The path to becoming a spiritual master was the one that allowed him to take off directly.
"Can it be used in real-world assessments?"
"Yes," Zhou Yan said, "but don't be silly and throw the water glass knife around in public. The best way to use it right now is to assist your movement, correct your center of gravity, and anticipate the monster's movements."
Luo Feng immediately understood.
It will not be performed publicly.
But with each dodge and each strike, one can achieve greater precision through mental focus.
"A subtle-level movement technique?"
Zhou Yan smiled.
"Good, the client is very clever."
The pale gold ledger was unfolded once more.
[Spiritual Power Development Loan]
[Loan Item: Volume 1 of "The Manual for Developing Mental Power"]
[Loan Details: Model with precise telekinetic control.]
[Loan Details: Telekinesis-assisted movement technique simulation.]
[Loan Details: Multi-object perception training method.]
[New principal: 5000 million Huaxia Coins.]
Repayment methods: monster materials, weapons and equipment, cash, and treasure resources.
[Should a contract be signed?]
Luo Feng did not rush to sign.
He asked, "Will I be able to learn these things on my own later?"
"Yes, we can," Zhou Yan said, "but it will take time."
"how long?"
"That's enough to save you from killing hundreds of monsters in Monster Town."
Luo Feng's eyes flickered.
Several hundred.
This statement is more effective than any explanation.
"Are there any methods more suitable for practical assessment?"
Zhou Yan smiled.
"That's what a quality customer should be like."
The second loan page unfolds.
[Advanced Warrior-Level Combat Experience Loan]
[Loan Details: Advanced Warrior-level Wilderness Combat Experience.]
[Loan Details: Basic Orc Soldier Group Kill Route Simulation.]
[Loan Details: Database of weaknesses for Beast-class monsters.]
[Loan Details: Rapid document segmentation and valuation panel.]
[New principal: 3000 million Huaxia Coins.]
Repayment methods: monster materials, weapons and equipment, cash, and treasure resources.
[Current total liabilities after signing: 101 million Chinese Yuan.]
[Should a contract be signed?]
Luo Feng looked at the total debt.
One hundred million.
If it had been a day earlier, he would have thought that number was unattainable.
But now, he was thinking of Monster Town.
One monster isn't enough, so we'll have ten.
Ten isn't enough, so let's have a hundred.
"sign."
[The loan agreement for developing mental power has been signed.]
[Advanced Warrior-Level Combat Experience Loan Agreement Completed.]
boom!
What flooded my mind this time was far more intense than before.
It's not basic knife skills.
It's not a basic movement technique.
Luo Feng already knew how to do these things.
What actually arrives in your account is something of a higher level.
How mental energy flows along the surface of the body.
How to slightly support your center of gravity before your foot lands.
How to determine direction by muscle contractions and changes in eye movements before a monster pounces.
How to find the most efficient kill order among a group of novice beast soldiers.
How to use the shortest path to continuously kill enemies and reduce stamina waste.
There's also the cold-blooded judgment of a high-level warrior when truly fighting in the wilderness.
When killing the first one, don't look at the blood.
When killing the second one, do not look back.
Don't get excited when you kill the tenth one.
It's only when you've killed the hundredth enemy that you've truly warmed up.
Luo Feng kept his eyes closed for a good ten minutes before opening them again.
The water glass has landed steadily back on the table.
The training knife no longer vibrates.
But Luo Feng's entire demeanor changed.
If we were to say that he was like a sword just drawn from its sheath when he was at Tiandu Garden, then he was like a sword just drawn from its sheath.
Now, the knife knows where it's going to strike.
Zhou Yan asked, "How are you feeling?"
Luo Feng stood up and picked up his training knife.
He did not swing the knife wildly.
With just one step, the blade subtly shifted.
With the aid of mental power, the center of gravity underfoot shifted almost imperceptibly.
It was as if he had dodged an unseen attack beforehand.
Luo Feng stopped.
"Monster Town is full of low-level beast soldiers?"
"Normally, yes."
"How much is enough to pay back?"
"Let's see how many you kill."
Zhou Yan paused, his voice tinged with amusement.
"You were already quite good at killing more than thirty animals."
Luo Feng looked out the window.
The night was deep.
His voice was very steady.
"Then kill three hundred of them."
