The six large characters above read: Spiritual Reader Basics.
"This Manual is worth 3 star points. It's even more expensive than a King-class intelligent fighter jet."
Xu Feng picked up the Manual and began to read it carefully.
Spiritual Force originates from a person's spirit and soul, which are the foundation of the spirit.
"Spiritual Force can only be nurtured and become strong within a person's Sea of Consciousness. Because of its unique relationship with the Spiritual Force, it will directly penetrate the body of a person or animal upon contact. Therefore, Spiritual Force cannot directly attack an enemy's body; it must rely on a medium, such as a blade, sword, or hidden weapon."
Seeing this, Xu Feng couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, it was like that. For example, when he was running and applying Spiritual Force to add external force, he usually applied it to objects like shields, the soles of his combat boots, or his arm guards, instead of his clothes. Why?
Because from the perspective of molecules, combat clothing still has many large holes. When Spiritual Force, which consists of tiny particles, acts on the clothing, a lot of it will naturally pass through the holes and penetrate the body.
It can exert a certain force.
But I'm afraid only one-tenth of the power actually works. However, when used on shields, the base of war boots, and other areas, it's 100% effective.
"Spiritual Force can be both real and illusory."
"Real, it can contain tremendous power, controlling objects from afar, killing enemies a hundred meters away.
"Illusory, it can be silent, penetrating the heart, killing enemies without a sound.
"Unite silently, change constantly."
"All Spiritual Readers are primarily divided into three types: the first is to control objects from afar to kill enemies; the second is to penetrate into the enemy's Sea of Consciousness to attack; the third is beast taming."
Xu Feng continued to read. About half of the book detailed the first method, controlling objects from afar to kill enemies. The remaining half mainly described the second method, penetrating into the enemy's Sea of Consciousness to attack. As for the third method, beast taming, it was described the least.
"Hmm, my Spiritual Force should be the first type..."
Xu Feng carefully examined the first method: remotely controlling objects to kill enemies.
"For Spiritual Readers who specialize in controlling objects, improvements in strength can be divided into three aspects: Spiritual Force intensity, weaponry, and technique. This book primarily discusses techniques. The strength of a Spiritual Reader, in terms of technique, mainly depends on how many weapons they can control simultaneously while maintaining maximum attack power."
For example, a Spiritual Reader who is at the intermediate War God level can achieve a maximum impact force of 160,000 kilograms when controlling a single Flying Knife."
"If he controls 5 Flying Knives, each with 160,000 kilograms of impact, the total is 800,000 kilograms of impact."
"So, if he controls 10 Flying Knives simultaneously, with each reaching its maximum value, that would be 1,600,000 kilograms of impact."
"If he can control 20 Flying Knives simultaneously, and each reaches its maximum value, that would be 3,200,000 kilograms of impact."
"The more weapons a Spiritual Reader can control while maintaining the strongest attack, the more powerful they naturally become. The following will focus on how to increase the number of weapons controlled while ensuring each weapon maintains its maximum power."
Xu Feng thought of the Secret Transmission Basic 312 Forms upon reading this.
It seems he needed to go to the No. 9 Civilization Ruins as soon as possible, where he could find Force Amplification and methods to increase the number of Flying Knives he could control.
He was controlling too few, and he could only rely on the Manual there if he wanted to increase his attack power in a short time.
"Each of my Flying Knives can maintain an impact force of over 500,000 kilograms, and with six, that's over 3 million kilograms of impact force. If I can control ten Flying Knives, exceeding 5 million kilograms... if I can control twenty Flying Knives, that's over 10 million kilograms. God, even existences surpassing a War God probably couldn't withstand that!" Luo Feng's emotions surged.
As he continued reading, Luo Feng realized how difficult it was to maintain the highest level of power with each additional hidden weapon. Luo Feng could control six without any special training, which was considered a high talent.
There were fewer than five Spiritual Readers on Earth who could control more than ten Flying Knives.
Twenty Flying Knives.
This was a level that all Spiritual Readers on Earth had to look up to.
"No wonder one Manual is worth 3 stars. And you can only read it in virtual space." Luo Feng was more and more surprised. "It seems that it's difficult to improve with each additional Flying Knife. But after all, there is this method of cultivation. As long as I practice step by step, there will always be progress."
After reading the section on object control attacks, Luo Feng's blood boiled with excitement. He continued to read the section on spiritual attacks.
"Oh."
"Spiritual Force within one's own Sea of Consciousness will gain an increase in power. However, when Spiritual Force penetrates another person's Sea of Consciousness, it not only doesn't get a boost, but is suppressed by the other person's Sea of Consciousness, losing a layer of power," Xu Feng murmured. "In other words, if you want to directly kill someone head-on, your Spiritual Force must be at least three layers stronger than theirs."
When a high-level War God Spiritual Reader's Spiritual Force enters the Sea of Consciousness of an elementary War God Spiritual Reader, it will be suppressed, while the other person will gain Force Amplification. The two would be almost equal, and only someone three layers stronger could kill the other.
"What, ordinary martial artists also have strong Spiritual Force?" Xu Feng was shocked to see the description below.
Ordinary martial artists can't control objects from a distance, but that doesn't mean their minds are weak. In fact, most powerful martial artists are strong in will and spirit. For example, a high-level War God martial artist has a small amount of Spiritual Force in their Sea of Consciousness that, in terms of pure quality, isn't much worse than a high-level Spiritual Reader, just vastly different in quantity.
The aspects of Spiritual attacks are very complex. Obviously, Earth's achievements in this area aren't considered high. The Manual recorded a total of 18 methods of attack.
There are Mystic Dream Illusion Demon Eye, Spiritual Cone Strike, Soul Shock, and many other secret methods, all of which have quite a reputation, a total of 18.
The method of killing is to use the secret methods one by one to distract the opponent, and then use remote control to kill the opponent. "First use the secret methods, then control objects from a distance," Xu Feng sighed inwardly, feeling a little disappointed with these so-called Spiritual attacks. However, Xu Feng still planned to learn those 18 secret methods.
Continuing with the third part – the Beast Taming chapter.
The book recorded that it was possible to tame monsters using Spiritual Force. Currently, on Earth, there were a total of nine Spiritual Readers who had successfully tamed monsters. However, the method of taming monsters only described one – communication through the mind, a very subtle way of befriending monsters.
He closed the book.
Xu Feng exhaled deeply, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window nearby, and looked out at the endless sea of clouds.
"Worth 3 stars... truly expensive." Xu Feng smiled. "But worth it."
After reading it, Xu Feng understood why Hong valued this Manual so much. It could be said that after reading the Spiritual Reader Basics Manual, he had a complete understanding of how to cultivate as a Spiritual Reader. The book contained methods to increase the number of Flying Knives one could control, as well as 18 Spiritual attack secret techniques.
The value of just these secret techniques was immeasurable. He didn't know how Hong had managed to collect them.
Time to work hard on training.
According to the book, when a high-level War God Spiritual Reader controls a certain number of Flying Knives, they can even break through and become an existence beyond a War God. "Focus on controlling objects, and supplement with a few spiritual secret techniques," Xu Feng muttered.
I should work hard. Now, he didn't need to hold any position, so he could relax a bit and focus on cultivating this object-controlling secret technique. Perhaps he would break through and become a War God at some point.
"I should go see the other War Gods."
"Welcome to the War God Palace."
"The War God Palace is led by the First Speaker, Hong, and the Second Speaker..."
After a long period of introductions and interacting with other War Gods, Xu Feng arrived at the auction.
"There are a total of 79 auction items in this auction," the Chinese-looking man said with a smile. "Perhaps there is something everyone wants here. I won't say more. I now officially announce that the auction has begun!"
"The first item for auction is a piece of art, Isadora's original stockings..."
"The old woman's scent?" This could also be considered a work of art?
"The seventh item for auction is a set of Grade A Gene Medicine, a total of ten doses, with a starting price of 1.2 billion Chinese yuan."
Xu Feng listened from the side, never making a bid.
Finally… "The thirty-first item for auction is a dose of Water of Life, with a starting price of 10.8 billion Chinese yuan." As the auctioneer's voice rang out, Xu Feng, who had been very calm, brightened. A projection of the Water of Life, contained in a test tube, appeared in the air above the auction hall.
It's finally here. Xu Feng's eyes locked onto the projection of the Water of Life.
He remembered there was a hidden rule in the original story: when a new War God joined the War God Palace, no one would compete for their first bid on an item, to show everyone's welcome to the new War God.
He could just take the opportunity to bid for a dose of Water of Life and give it to Luo Feng's younger brother, Luo Hua. Xu Feng was very clear about Luo Hua's disability, which had always been a source of worry for Luo Feng.
If he could bid for the Water of Life and cure Luo Hua, on the one hand, it would make Luo Feng owe him a favor.
Luo Hua was also an investment genius, and at a young age, he had multiplied his principal several times with his skilled holding techniques.
Even when Luo Feng was out in the universe, Luo Hua could help him double large sums of money. He successfully helped Luo Feng bid on the body fragments of the Mo Sha Clan, enabling him to cultivate a second avatar.
He greatly enhanced Luo Feng's comprehension of the space laws. It could be said that Luo Hua played an indispensable role in Luo Feng's ability to stand out in the Global Universe Genius Battle.
Strictly speaking, Luo Hua wasn't an outsider.
Later, Luo Hua became the right-hand man of his sister, Xu Xin, helping her become a business tycoon in the universe.
The price of the Water of Life was only worth a mere 30 billion. The War God Palace auctions could usually secure it for 20 billion. Honestly, a few hundred billion, for the current Xu Feng, was just a single trip's worth of earnings from the wilderness.
So, both emotionally and rationally, he should help Luo Hua.
By befriending Luo Hua, he might gain benefits in the future, and even rely on him to earn his first batch of funds.
Finally, Xu Feng bid 13 billion for the Water of Life.
