129: Chapter 129 Mental Power Surges by 160!
Water splashed in the pool within the pocket dimension. Playful laughter echoed throughout the climate-controlled hall.
Yu Feng finished his last sip of champagne and rose from the lounge chair. Droplets of water slid down his well-defined muscular lines. He casually grabbed a bath towel to dry his hair and pushed open the door to step out of the pocket dimension.
The world outside had just undergone destruction, yet this fighter jet remained a pinnacle of top-tier luxury.
Returning to the master bedroom of the Captain's quarters, Yu Feng locked the hatch behind him.
He called up the Portable Space panel. The trade announcements he had Su Nian post earlier were all completed.
A total of seventy bottles of Basic Mental Power Potions were neatly arranged in the storage slots. These were the life-saving reserves kept at the bottom of the trunks by the survivors of the Kunlun District, and he had managed to extract them all using dozens of pieces of Crystal Steel.
"Extract."
Seventy shimmering glass tubes landed on the large bed.
Yu Feng raised his right hand. Dark-gold flames danced in his palm. This was the companion flame of the transcendent item, the magic energy furnace.
"Synthesize."
The flames instantly engulfed the seventy bottles of potion. The harsh sound of glass melting rang out. Impurities were removed, and the energy was extremely compressed.
Ten seconds later, the dark-gold flames dissipated.
Seven bottles of deep-colored Intermediate Mental Power Potions, emitting a faint blue glow, floated quietly in mid-air.
Including the two bottles from the system's hidden quest rewards, there were nine in total.
Without any hesitation, Yu Feng grabbed the potions, pulled out the stoppers, and tilted his head back to pour them all into his mouth.
The deep blue liquid slid down his throat. A burst of icy, bone-chilling energy rushed straight into his mind.
A tearing, throbbing pain emanated from deep within his brain. Nerve endings were reorganizing, and his mental domain was being forcibly expanded.
Yu Feng gritted his teeth and collapsed onto the six-meter-wide bed. Sweat instantly soaked through his shorts.
This kind of mental evolution was even more painful than physical strengthening.
Half an hour later.
The throbbing pain receded like a tide.
Yu Feng opened his eyes.
Everything before his eyes had become completely different. The trajectories of fine dust floating in the air were clearly visible. Through the thick bulletproof door, he could hear the crisp sound of Tiantian tapping on the keyboard in the fire Control room.
He could even precisely capture the wind speed flowing through the glacial fissures thousands of meters outside the window.
He raised his hand, his vision focusing. If a bullet were fired now, it would seem as slow as a flying insect in his eyes.
He brought up his personal panel.
[Name: Yu Feng]
[Current Attributes: Strength 50, Constitution 80, Agility 60, Spirit 160]
His mental power had broken through to 160 points—sixteen times that of a normal adult male.
Yu Feng turned his palm over. The perfect-quality transcendent item, [eye of the divine eagle], appeared out of thin air.
The purple-black pupil that originally made one's scalp tingle no longer felt oppressive to him. The 100-point usage threshold was easily crossed.
This eyeball, capable of releasing absolute mental suppression, officially became his regular weapon.
Yu Feng clenched his fist and retracted the eyeball into his space.
The sense of Control brought by the explosion in strength made the corners of his mouth curl up.
7:00 AM the next day.
A rich aroma wafted from the cabin's dining room.
Liu Ruyan wore a form-fitting silk dress that clearly outlined her S-shaped curves. She brought the fried high-grade dragon steaks and eggs to the table. With the enhancement of God-level Cooking, the simple ingredients emitted a faint glow that restored physical strength.
Yu Feng pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up his knife and fork to cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.
"There are people waiting outside for quite a while now." Liu Ruyan handed over a glass of warm milk.
Yu Feng looked up and scanned the large surveillance screen on the wall.
On the ice field outside the fighter jet, Xiao Zhantian and Zhao Xiaolan stood tall and straight. Around them were parked the few remaining aircraft of the War God Alliance.
Further away, a Level 5 airliner, cobbled together from various parts, was slowly approaching. A head popped out from the nose of the plane—it was Li Tianbao.
"Go take a look." Yu Feng didn't even lift his head as he continued eating his breakfast.
The Perfect Physical Clone standing by on the side nodded and turned to walk toward the exit hatch.
The hatch opened.
The clone stepped down the metal gangway onto the ice field. The sunlight was a bit dazzling.
Xiao Zhantian and Zhao Xiaolan immediately came forward to meet him. Their eyes were full of awe.
"Boss Yu."
The clone waved a hand. A large pile of shimmering metal materials appeared out of thin air on the empty ground in front of him.
"Five hundred units of super nano crystal steel. Two thousand units of Nano Crystal Steel." The clone's voice was calm. "You were quite efficient in cleaning up the battlefield yesterday. This is the reward."
On the wasteland, Crystal Steel was life itself. This amount of material was enough to build a squadron.
Xiao Zhantian looked at the top-tier materials covering the ground, his eyelids twitching. He didn't refuse; with a wave of his hand, he packed all the materials into his storage item.
Turning around, he stuffed the storage bag directly into Zhao Xiaolan's hand.
"Alliance Leader, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiaolan was stunned.
Xiao Zhantian scratched his buzz cut, a rare hint of embarrassment showing. "Because of the forced teleportation yesterday, the main Control core of that black rhino fighter burned out and was scrapped. The system judged that I lost my qualification to bind a plane."
He patted Zhao Xiaolan's shoulder. "Take the materials to repair your plane. From now on, I'll be staying on your plane. You'll have to take care of my food and lodging."
Zhao Xiaolan was both surprised and delighted, a blush flashing in her eyes. She gripped the storage bag tightly and nodded heavily.
The atmosphere between the two was unusually relaxed.
A piercing roar of engines interrupted the conversation.
Li Tianbao's battered Level 5 plane stopped dozens of meters away. He rubbed his hands together and ran over with a broad smile.
"Good morning, Grandpa Yu! Good morning, Alliance Leader Xiao!" Li Tianbao bowed and scraped, looking just like a servant. "My plane was just put together, so I specifically flew it over to pay my respects to everyone."
Zhao Xiaolan sneered, sizing him up.
"Great Alliance Leader Li, when you brought ten thousand planes for a joyride yesterday, you didn't have this face." Zhao Xiaolan's tone was biting. "The overlord of the Tianxia Alliance—how are you now flying this hearse cobbled together from scraps?"
The smile on Li Tianbao's face froze. His heart bled with hatred, but on the surface, he could only laugh it off.
"Vice Alliance Leader Zhao must be joking. Yesterday was a misunderstanding. In front of God Yu, I'm just a scavenger." Li Tianbao forced a smile, nodding like a woodpecker.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind Xiao Zhantian.
Zhang Ji, a former core member of the Tianxia Alliance, was now wearing a War God Alliance uniform and standing next to Zhao Xiaolan.
Li Tianbao's mind went "buzz."
He understood everything. Every move he made yesterday and the Tianxia Alliance's troop deployment had been thoroughly scouted by the War God Alliance.
Zhang Ji was a mole planted by the War God Alliance.
He had been sold out and was still helping them count the money. Li Tianbao ground his teeth, forcibly swallowing this bitter pill.
He turned his head and gave Xiao Zhantian a thumbs-up. "Alliance Leader Xiao is truly brilliant. I, Li Tianbao, am utterly defeated. When we enter the Yunshen Secret Realm next, I'll have to ask for your guidance, Alliance Leader Xiao."
Xiao Zhantian ignored his flattery.
He bit into a cigar and pulled out a windproof lighter to light it. Taking a deep drag, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"Li Tianbao." Xiao Zhantian's eyes were sharp as he stared him down. "In yesterday's hidden quest, how did you know those monsters were High-Dimensional Descendants? How did you know that Level 8 one was a Xiao Hong Royal?"
These questions were asked very quickly, striking straight at the heart of the matter.
Li Tianbao's heart skipped a beat. His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
He stammered, his eyes darting around. "I... I got a top-secret scroll from a monster drop before. It had some monster illustrations. The scroll was destroyed by fire while I was running for my life yesterday."
This excuse was full of holes.
Xiao Zhantian snorted and was about to press further.
The clone suddenly spoke.
"The scroll was burned?" The clone had his hands in his pockets, his gaze as cold as ice. "Li Tianbao. Don't try those low-level lies in front of me."
The invisible pressure brought by 160 points of mental power instantly enveloped Li Tianbao.
Li Tianbao's legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ice. He felt as if a knife were pressed against his forehead.
"Are you a Hidden Class user?" The clone looked down at him, enunciating each word.
As soon as the words "Hidden Class user" came out.
Li Tianbao's soul shook. His pupils snapped to the size of pinpricks.
His greatest secret had actually been ripped open in public.
Shock, panic, and disbelief intertwined on his face. He opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Xiao Zhantian and Zhao Xiaolan were also stunned in place, dazed by the weight of the information in that term.
Inside the Captain's quarters' pocket dimension.
Inside the climate-controlled swimming hall.
Yu Feng's original body leaned against the edge of the pool. The holographic screen was playing the outside scene in real-time.
Seeing Li Tianbao's look of having seen a ghost, Yu Feng turned off the screen.
The fish had taken the bait. As for the intelligence to follow, he could manipulate it however he pleased.
He turned his head.
"No need to fight today. There's plenty of time." The corners of Yu Feng's mouth curled up. "Everyone, assemble. I'm going to give you all some extra lessons one by one."
The wasteland outside was cold and grim. Inside this invincible fighter jet, there was only the most extravagant revelry.
