Chapter 150
The Mental Wander State depended on the flesh and the spirit.
Practitioners started from their flesh. They kept strengthening their skin, blood, bones, and viscera in order to have a powerful qi.
Then, they would proceed to build up their qi.
The most obvious characteristic of a Mental Wander State was a holy awareness.
Of course, the power of the Mental Wander State wasn’t only represented by the holy awareness, but by many different things, like the technique of using flying swords. If one’s holy soul wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t be able to control the flying swords in a precise enough way to kill their enemies.
The martial arts techniques related to different stages of the Mental Wander State all had to do with holy points.
Whenever one tried to form holy points, they would have to pay a big price. They would have to exhaust themselves and spend all of their energy on it, but no one would give up if they had already prepared themselves for it.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes slowly and looked over aggressively.
The man made eye contact with him and was dumbstruck. He cursed immediately, “You’re awake? Leave now since you’re awake!”
He didn’t panic, nor did he feel sorry. He just motioned his hands impatiently to drive Jiang Chen away.
“Did you intend to blind me?” Jiang Chen said.
“Cut the crap,” the man said unhappily in a threatening tone.
“Abolish all of your holy points so that I’ll let you live,” Jiang Chen said coldly.
“Pardon me?” the man thought he had misheard Jiang Chen.
“I don’t want to repeat myself,” Jiang Chen said.
“Heh, you’re only in the beginning of the preliminary stage. How dare you speak to me like this? Don’t you see I’m in the peak of the preliminary stage?! Two stages above you! Do you know what that means? It means I can crush you with only one hand!” the man smiled first, then told him his state in a proud tone.
“Looks like you’ve chosen to die.”
Jiang Chen stood up. Maybe it was because he was immersed in the essence of primordial yuan that he looked pretty majestic.
He walked out of the crack slowly and approached the man.
“Apprentice brother, looks like he’s an ungrateful person,” the woman said with disdain.
“I’ll show him what great power is.”
The man grasped a willow-leaf-shaped knife and made an all-out attack. He ran over like lightning, his knife was carrying a tremendous power.
Jiang Chen thrust his sword in a blink. They could only see a shadow.
“What?”
The proud man was greatly surprised. He couldn’t even identify where Jiang Chen was, let alone attack him.
He was decisive in changing into a defensive position and raised the knife up to his chest.
He made to stand steadily when a cold wind blew through his body and drew all of his energy away.
He looked down and saw a sword in his chest.
“How… how could it be…” He didn’t understand how this guy in the beginning of the preliminary stage had defeated him in just one attack.
“How dare you be so arrogant before me with only six holy points and such average martial arts techniques?” Jiang Chen laughed at him.
“Six isn’t… few.”
The man was only able to say three words before he fell down and never got back up. For an average Mental Wander State in the peak of the late stage, six holy points wasn’t a small number. That was fairly true.
Jiang Chen was the exception to this. He had four holy points while he was only in the beginning of the preliminary stage.
“You… you killed Apprentice Brother Shen.”
It had happened too fast. The woman hadn’t even come back to herself yet.
“Maybe I’ll kill you, too,” Jiang Chen said.
“Abolish your holy points,” he said coldly.
The woman hadn’t tried to stop her apprentice brother, but had watched with interest. It was his mercy that he gave her the chance live.
The woman was shocked. She had made a great effort to form her holy points. If she abolished them, she would deteriorate her state, but she couldn’t fight back. She cursed her Apprentice Brother Shen, who had led her into this trouble, silently.
