Qian Lei's eyes lit up, "Yes! That makes sense. I also feel that the stronger my mental power is, the easier it will be for me to summon. Moreover, even without your assistance, when I summon, the strength of the summoned creatures is much stronger than before. This should be the reason for my overall improvement in cultivation. I will set a small goal for myself, 500 mental power, plus level 30 soul power. I will try to achieve it within a year!"
However, he just finished talking about the goal, his face fell, "But, the improvement of mental power does not seem to be transferred by will, it can only rely on meditation or continuous use. Really..."
Liu Feng rolled his eyes. "You still complain that your spiritual power is improving too slowly, then what should I do? You are just too lazy. Just use the Summoning Gate more often. If it doesn't work in reality, can't you come to the Douluo World training ground to practice?"
Qian Lei's eyes widened. "I'm lazy? Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be mentally weak? That kind of extreme weakness feels like death. Not only does it cause a splitting headache, but it also makes me unable to muster even a bit of strength. It's like I'm not myself anymore. It's many times more uncomfortable than overdrawing my soul power. Your abilities are not closely related to your soul power, so generally speaking, you won't overdraw your soul power. But when I summon, my mental power consumption far exceeds my soul power consumption. You're talking without any pain!"
Liu Feng snorted, "It is precisely because of the pain that it is more effective. Do you admit it or not? If you had worked harder, you might have broken through the Spiritual Sea Realm a long time ago."
Qian Lei curled his lips, but did not refute. In fact, he really didn't like the pain of weakness. That feeling was really not pleasant! Moreover, once his mental power was weakened to a certain state, he could not control the summoned soul beast, and might be attacked by the soul beast. Therefore, he generally would not let himself reach the state of overdraft. But he had to admit that what Liu Feng said made sense. If he practiced in an overdraft way every time, his mental power improvement speed would definitely increase.
Lan Xuanyu patted Qian Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you are just in our high-energy youth class and we are together, your ability is enough. However, if you want to enter Shrek Academy in the future and stand firm, brother, you may have to be a little harder on yourself."
Having said that, Lan Xuanyu's smile suddenly turned into a bitter smile.
Qian Lei asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? You seem unhappy?"
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, "At least you still have the opportunity to choose, but I don't even have this opportunity. I don't even need to be hard on myself. Teacher Ji and Teacher Yin have already done it for me."
"Hahaha!" Qian Lei and Liu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard him say that. They knew exactly when Lan Xuanyu would return to the dormitory every day. Sometimes he would almost crawl back, and it was already a good situation that he could support meditation. Sometimes he would even fall asleep as soon as he came back. Once, both of them fell asleep, and Lan Xuanyu was too tired to come back, so he fell to the ground and slept all night. He was not found until the next morning. It is conceivable what kind of inhuman training he suffered.
"We should all work hard. Only those who endure hardships can rise to the top. Xuanyu is right. If we want to gain a foothold in Shrek, we must pay more." Liu Feng clenched his fists and his eyes became unusually firm.
They were all young, and although they knew how to work hard before, the students in the high-energy youth class around them were also very hardworking. They could not get much of the results of their own efforts. However, after winning the first place in the audition this time, Liu Feng was deeply moved. He got his first soul bone, and after having this silver moon wolf right arm bone, he could clearly feel how much his strength had improved.
What brought this about? It was brought about by the good results of the audition champion. What does this mean? It means that the stronger you are, the stronger you will be. In the long run, the gap will widen. Just like Tianluo Academy, although it is already a top academy in Tianluo Star, how is it compared to Shrek Academy? How much difference is there
The harder you work, the further you can go, and you will experience things that your classmates at the same level cannot experience. Over time, when accumulated, that is a huge gap.
Therefore, the right arm bone was a huge motivation for Liu Feng. Just like when Lan Xuanyu saw Master Le crush a warship with one foot in space, it gave them the motivation and goal to move forward.
Only when you have truly tried your best, when you look back one day, will you understand how meaningful your efforts were.
"Let's go on." Qian Lei opened the summoning gate again, and the three of them continued to move forward. In this way, they moved forward all the way, and encountered some soul beasts on the way, but they were indeed not too powerful. After dealing with them, they continued to move forward.
As he encountered different soul beasts, Lan Xuanyu was constantly fine-tuning his direction, searching for the right path to the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest.
When night fell, the three judged that they should have penetrated about 20 kilometers deep.
Qian Lei consumed the most energy because he was the one who summoned him all the time. He sat cross-legged under a big tree to meditate and rest. Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng stood by and took turns to rest.
This is the advantage of being in the simulation cabin. The nutrient solution in the simulation cabin will provide sufficient nutrition, and there is no need to eat or drink water. There will be no feeling of hunger in the Douluo World.
The selection lasted for seven days. The first day was almost over. They didn't encounter any major troubles. They only encountered a herd of beasts once, but the three of them climbed up a tree to avoid them. They didn't run into other groups either. After all, although there were a hundred groups participating in the selection, they were nothing compared to the huge Star Dou Great Forest.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, all three of them had recovered their energy.
When Qian Lei was about to open his summoning gate again, he was stopped by Lan Xuanyu.
"Not summoning anymore?" Qian Lei asked doubtfully.
Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly, "Yesterday was a little too peaceful. Do you feel uneasy?"
Qian Lei said doubtfully: "No! My perception is so sharp, I didn't find any danger!"
Liu Feng said, "It's not danger, it's uneasiness. Don't forget, the way we get good results in this selection is to go as deep as possible and kill as many soul beasts as possible to get more points. Yesterday we were very careful and didn't go far into the Xingdou Great Forest. This means that our points will not be too many. So, how deep are the other groups going now? We don't know. In other words, our score is likely to be behind. In the end, only the top ten can win, which means that we who are behind are likely to be eliminated. This should be the uneasiness that Xuanyu mentioned."
Lan Xuanyu nodded, but Qian Lei seemed a little dazed. He looked at Liu Feng curiously and asked, "Why do you seem to have finally gotten the idea?"
Liu Feng pointed to his head and said, "I'm good at thinking and observing. I learned that from Xuanyu. Do you think everyone is like you, stupid and ignorant?"
Qian Lei was furious, "Why are you cursing?"
Liu Feng smiled and said, "This is a compliment to you. A fool has good fortune."
Qian Lei said: "You are stupid!"
"Okay. Let's go. Liu Feng will lead the way, still in the original formation. Today we will try to speed up and go deeper to see what kind of soul beasts we will encounter. Qian Lei, you must be ready to summon at any time. Judging from yesterday's situation, we can't be too careful. This selection competition is likely to test our adventurous spirit and our ability to respond during the adventure. Boldness, carefulness, strength, and response are probably the key aspects to be examined. Of course, there is also luck..."
