35: Chapter 35 Headshot!

Buzz!

The moment the final puzzle piece was slotted into place, Mo Bai felt a buzzing in his mind.

His originally illusory meditation now perfectly overlapped with reality.

The flow of the water within the entire lake, the fluctuations of elements, the ripples stirred by the wind—everything was operating within his mind.

The Spiritual Power integrated into it naturally and steadily increased.

system notifications of increasing experience points appeared one after another.

It was as if he had interfaced with the lake; the power of heaven and earth poured back into his Spiritual Power, continuously strengthening it.

“experience points +100.”

“experience points +100.”

“experience points +100.”

“experience points +100.”

Information surfaced line by line, and in just a few moments, his level rose repeatedly.

“You have reached level 4.”

“You have reached level 5.”

His spirit attribute points increased one after another. After reaching the maximum level, the system notifications for experience points stopped appearing.

“Congratulations player, you have reached the maximum level. The experience point system is now offline.

Please explore the path of growth on your own. We wish you a pleasant game.”

The system notification sounded, but his Spiritual Power continued to grow and subsequently increase.

One point, two points...

When Mo Bai fully regained consciousness, his attribute panel had undergone earth-shattering changes.

“level: 5.”

“experience points: 500/500.”

“constitution: 9.”

“Strength: 8.”

“agility: 8.”

“spirit: 18.”

“charisma: 7.”

“free attribute points: 2.”

When he added both free attribute points to his spirit attribute:

“spirit: 20.”

At that instant, a buzzing sound echoed in Mo Bai's mind.

A one-time increase of five points in his spirit attribute was nothing short of a leap. Mo Bai felt his Spiritual Power had more than doubled in strength.

However, he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort; instead, he felt incredibly grounded, in a state better than ever before.

At this moment, he only felt a sense of fullness in his mind.

Spiritual Power had filled the entire space of his mind.

At this moment, he felt his mental state was better than ever before.

His memory, thinking speed, and so on all underwent a comprehensive improvement.

At this moment, Mo Bai clearly realized that his Spiritual Power had reached the limit of a mortal.

The true limit.

Twenty points in the spirit attribute!

Once he broke through, he would no longer be a mortal, but truly transcendent.

At this moment, Mo Bai gazed out at the lake. His spreading Spiritual Power covered a radius of over two hundred meters, and everything was reflected in his mind.

Yang Hao, who was practicing spellcasting, and Parn, who was dueling Zhou Rin and Ye Qing.

The Elemental Power they constantly stirred up created waves of ripples, reflecting within Mo Bai's mind.

At this moment, he couldn't help but begin to reminisce and reflect.

“Transcendent?”

“What exactly is transcendence?”

“Yang Hao, Zhou Rin, Ye Qing, and Parn can all use Elemental Power and possess combat strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Is this transcendence?”

“It is, yet it isn't.”

Mo Bai pondered for a moment before continuing.

“They have only taken a step ahead on the level of power to touch forces belonging to the transcendent.

In the essence of their life level, they haven't transcended; they still have the bodies of ordinary people, without a hint of transcendence.

Therefore, they don't count as transcendent.

True transcendence should not be categorized by power or combat strength, but by the qualitative change in the essence of the life level.”

Mo Bai took a deep breath, and his originally somewhat lost heart gradually found a direction.

“So now that my Spiritual Power has reached the human limit, what I need to do is not to raise my physical body to the human limit as well.”

In any game he played, Mo Bai always held one view.

With the same amount of energy, focused and extreme attribute allocation is definitely stronger than average allocation.

Because a person's energy is limited. Given the same talent, unless one touches the upper limit, focusing on one area is definitely stronger than being distracted by many.

“What I need to do now is one thing, and that is to find a way to make my Spiritual Power undergo a qualitative change.

To complete the transformation on the spiritual level and achieve transcendence of the life level.”

Mo Bai took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the Quiet Lake meditation in his mind, which seemed almost real.

His own growth had reached its limit, so the best way to continue growing was none other than external pressure.

And meditation, a method that connects the internal and external and uses the movement of heaven and earth to temper Spiritual Power, was perfect.

Immersing his mind in meditation, in the hazy state, he took out a crystal core and looked at it quietly.

No matter what magic beast it was or what attribute it had, they all possessed crystal cores containing Magic Spell Models.

These crystal cores were their solution for communicating with Elemental Power.

And every crystal core had completely identical dimensions, angles, and facets—none were different.

At this moment, a thought surfaced in Mo Bai's mind.

The consciousness sunken into his Spiritual Power moved.

All his Spiritual Power was drawn into his mind, and in the next moment, it directly began to contract inward.

The maxed-out Spiritual Power already filled his mind to the brim just by being drawn in; there were no gaps between it, and there was simply no room for compression.

However, in the next moment, the Quiet Lake meditation emerged, directly filling the entire mental space.

“Buzz!”

The moment the Quiet Lake meditation began to operate, the illusory Quiet Lake seemed to have become substantive, almost overlapping with the real Quiet Lake and the massive Elemental Power contained within it.

Weight!

An extremely heavy weight.

The invisible Spiritual Power now had a real weight.

At this moment, Mo Bai integrated all his Spiritual Power into the Quiet Lake meditation.

Then... “Smaller.”

Mo Bai whispered softly, and the Quiet Lake slowly shrank, yet the elemental weight it contained did not decrease in the slightest.

“Smaller.”

The Quiet Lake meditation continued to shrink. The real and undeniable elemental weight tightly confined every shred of Spiritual Power, not letting a single bit escape.

“Smaller.”

“Smaller.”

“Smaller.”

Mo Bai whispered softly. The Quiet Lake meditation grew smaller and smaller, yet it still maintained absolute clarity and operation; the elemental weight hadn't decreased at all.

During this entire compression process, the Spiritual Power grew smaller bit by bit.

Vaguely, Mo Bai even perceived a sense of substance.

Spiritual Power substance, extremely similar to a crystal core.

This discovery caused a hint of joy to arise in Mo Bai's heart. A ripple appeared in the Quiet Lake meditation, and the meditation uncoupled; the elemental weight within it vanished, and the meditation turned from substance back into fantasy.

Being distracted naturally led to falling out of the state; this was not unexpected.

But at this moment, in this state, Mo Bai's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

In the next instant, the Spiritual Power that had been compressed to the point of having a hint of substance was released at an even faster speed, expanding instantly.

At this very moment, Yang Hao, who was practicing nearby, successfully released a Wind Blade Technique that landed on a rock in front of him.

Zhou Rin was also sharing his thoughts and inspiration for developing 'hasaige' with Parn and Ye Qing.

And although they were doing their own things, their gazes would occasionally sweep over Mo Bai in the center.

Just as they took a look, suddenly... “Bang!”

A head exploded!
