61: Mental power (Part 1)!

The bright moon hung high, and its pristine light poured down like a white silk ribbon onto the earth.

The entire Kyoto Base City was enveloped in the hazy moonlight.

Since the rr virus rampaged, not only did mutated monsters appear, but even some plants were affected.

Compared to the Beihe District, which frequently suffered from smog in the past, the climate in Kyoto Base City was undoubtedly many times better now.

This was one of the few pieces of good news brought by the rr virus.

At this moment in Beihe District, the city lights were just coming on.

Chen Fan and his family were strolling along a path under the moonlight, getting familiar with their new home.

Being with his parents, Chen Fan felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

While walking, Chen Fan also chatted with his parents.

Most of their conversations were about life and studies.

Whenever his parents asked about martial artists, the Wilderness Area, and monsters, Chen Fan would always laugh it off and gloss over the topic.

He genuinely didn't want to describe the dangers of the wilderness to his parents; it would only add to their sorrow.

After all, for Chen Fan, his parents only needed to enjoy this tranquility and didn't need to know too much.

As for resisting the monsters, he would naturally take on that responsibility.

In the night breeze, Chen Fan and his parents leisurely walked in the residential area.

Although it seemed calm, his heart was constantly surging with undercurrents.

Having witnessed monsters breaking through defenses, slaughtering soldiers and innocent humans, he deeply understood the current predicament of humanity.

According to the original novel, in future China, there would only be six base cities.

That meant that within these thirty years, two of China's base cities were destroyed in beast tides, becoming dust in history.

At this thought, a desire to become stronger frantically grew in Chen Fan's mind.

Without powerful strength, it would be impossible to defend against countless ferocious and terrifying monsters.

If one day the human base were breached by a beast tide, the entire base city would be completely exposed to endless monsters.

Chen Fan dared not imagine what such a scene would be like.

Even with martial artists resisting monsters, such a heavy price still had to be paid.

Not to mention ordinary humans... If only he could become a powerful Psycher Master like Luo Feng in the original novel, that would be great.

Once he also became a legendary Psycher Master, his strength would likely not only be elevated to a new level, but he would also be fearless when facing a siege by a beast tide.

At that time, quantity would no longer hold much meaning for Chen Fan.

Perhaps he could use his golden finger to try and break through towards becoming a Psycher Master.

Chen Fan secretly pondered in his heart, a sharp glint flashing in the depths of his eyes for a fleeting moment... It was night.

In Chen Fan's family's training hall, the lights were soft.

A figure in a white training suit sat cross-legged in the center of the hall.

This person was Chen Fan himself, diligently cultivating.

Ever since he completely mastered the Five Hearts to the Sky Cultivation Method, Chen Fan could cultivate anytime, anywhere, without any hindrance.

However, there was a slight issue: the surrounding environment would affect his cultivation efficiency.

After many attempts, Chen Fan finally figured out a cultivation theory.

For any cultivation, one must choose a quiet and spacious place to absorb cosmic energy to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, it would be twice the effort for half the result!

At this moment, Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the marble floor, quietly breathing and meditating.

Around him, apples, bananas, pears, and oranges... various fruits formed a large circle.

At the center was Chen Fan, eyes closed and breathing steadily.

This time, Chen Fan's cultivation goal was not to enhance his physical strength or power.

He wanted to absorb the cosmic power into his body and gather it all in his brain.

Chen Fan was trying to strengthen his brain region in this way, slowly cultivating Spiritual power.

Although Chen Fan's idea was somewhat impractical, it was his only option.

He had browsed the Ninth Army's library for a long time but hadn't found a single clue about cultivating Spiritual power.

The only thing he found was that some people were born with Spiritual power in their minds.

Such people were natural Psycher Masters.

And Chen Fan was attempting to break this established notion and become a Psycher Master through acquired means.

Even if the road ahead was filled with unknown darkness, Chen Fan was willing to carry a lamp and search for a direction.

He firmly believed that effort might still lead to a glimmer of hope.

But if he didn't try, then that last bit of hope would also be swallowed by darkness.

Moreover, such an opportunity was only available to Chen Fan, who possessed top-tier comprehension.

After cultivating for half an hour, Chen Fan allowed strands of cosmic energy to irrigate his body, and lines of pale golden characters kept appearing on him—

“Physique +1”

“Physique +1”

“Physique +1”

...Even during cultivation, Chen Fan was always aware of his changes.

He was intimately familiar with almost every minute change.

At this moment, Chen Fan wished these "Physique +1" could become "Spiritual power +1."

But things didn't go as he wished.

As the cultivation progressed, Chen Fan's physique continued to increase.

It seemed that Spiritual power was not so easy to cultivate.

An hour passed, and there was still no change.

Even so, Chen Fan was not disheartened in the slightest.

To him, all of this was just an attempt.

Being able to cultivate Spiritual power would be the icing on the cake; not being able to would not cause much harm.

With this mindset, Chen Fan continued to cultivate.

Endless cosmic energy was frantically absorbed by Chen Fan, all of it pouring into his mind, seemingly to strengthen his brain's nerves and thus cultivate Spiritual power.

Repeated attempts, repeated failures.

Time flowed by, minute by minute.

Soon, the moon was high in the sky.

The cold moonlight streamed through the glass window into the cultivation room.

A hint of chill arose, and Chen Fan immediately felt a coolness.

Then, Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked up at the high-hanging bright moon in the night sky.

A trace of realization dawned on Chen Fan's mind.

“Perhaps I can try to use my brain to actively contact and absorb cosmic energy, instead of letting my brain passively receive the energy I absorb.”

At this thought, Chen Fan's entire body trembled, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

With a new direction, he immediately began to try.

Using the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method's Baihui acupoint, Chen Fan focused intently.

Strands of cosmic energy entered his body through the Baihui acupoint, then disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, cosmic energy, like a small stream, passed through the Baihui acupoint and entered Chen Fan's mind.

This time, the cosmic energy was not absorbed throughout his body as usual, but mysteriously disappeared into his mind.

The inexplicably disappearing cosmic energy did not surprise Chen Fan in the least.

On the contrary, Chen Fan showed a calm and composed demeanor.

It seemed that all of this was within his control.
