The Spirit World

Chapter 214: Human-shaped spiritual power [Mei Lang]

【Luoan City Majia Village】

After cleaning the stable, Mei Lang quickly crossed the street and returned to his room. It was almost dusk and everyone was having dinner, but he stayed alone in the room, neither eating nor drinking.

Because he felt more and more that he no longer felt particularly hungry.

In the past few days, he has been learning how to condense spiritual power from a master introduced by An Zi, and he can increasingly feel the changes in himself.

Very strange.

The sleepiness, hunger, and fatigue of the body were all...delayed...and disappeared...

The effect of spiritual power was so great that it surprised and frightened him.

Spiritual power can improve physical quality, but it doesn't seem to improve it directly from the essence. I don't know if it can be improved over the years.

It feels more like a kind of "qi" is flowing through my body, and then transformed into a kind of energy around my body which is rich in spiritual power.

This energy can be moved, transformed and called upon according to one's will.

During one of my studies, the master asked me to jump off a large rock that was twice as high as others. The master jumped up, but I couldn't even climb up. So, the first goal was to use spiritual power to "move my feet", and the corresponding method was to "change hands", and the next step was to "lift my lungs."

These are all very easy to understand.

To put it simply, it means to strengthen oneself with spiritual power, achieve the effect of spiritual power on oneself, and achieve an extraordinary physique that completely surpasses that of ordinary people.

That is the basic skill of gathering spiritual energy.

The old master told him not to aim too high and that the basic skills such as "moving the feet", "changing hands" and "lifting the lungs" were for the purpose of better carrying out the next step of training.

That is to say, to refine the characteristics of spiritual power.

If basic skills are the effect of spiritual power on oneself, then refining the characteristics of spiritual power is the effect of oneself on spiritual power.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, plus special attributes and special combat talents are all related to one's own attributes. The refined spiritual power characteristics can also be obtained and decomposed, and there is no unique one, but if you want to master it, you can naturally only pursue one thing.

The function of spiritual power is usually to fight. In addition to hunting magic crystals to obtain money, participating in the annual [Tongtian Conference] to gain fame and fortune is also an extremely important thing for young people.

In peacetime, there are not so many ways to use spiritual power, and having a big fist is not as comfortable as having a big hat.

But being able to use spiritual power is more comfortable than having no spiritual power.

At least, you won't be helpless when you are bullied. When you can't help but rely on yourself, there is no need to hide.

Mei Lang looked at the spiritual power flowing through his hands. No matter how he looked at it, this thing called spiritual power was indeed somewhat magical. This thing also known as power was not transparent, but golden, and even crystal clear.

"You can refine golden spiritual power, so your strength must be at the human-level or even higher. Old Chen said that this is the first time he has seen someone like you." Anzi was sitting on a stool eating noodles cooked in a big pot, with the aroma of green onions. He looked at Mei Lang and picked up the noodles at once. Steam was rising and the heat was in the room. Chang Yufeng could smell it. In fact, he was itching to eat, but he was not hungry. He was struggling over whether to eat or not, as if he was wasting food.

“How should I put it… It’s just like those novels written by the founder, in which you obtain the spiritual power inherited from some great being, but now you have lost your memory, just like Xiaobai in the novel. But your spiritual power should be your own, not someone else’s.” An Zi took a big mouthful of noodles, and some soup splashed into the bowl. The golden oil was the same as the golden spiritual power, both sparkling under the light.

"However, you still have to refrain from spreading the word. If you don't know how to use this kind of human-level spiritual power, it can easily lead to fatal disasters."

Mei Lang did not ask any questions because he had been paying attention to the crystal clear golden spiritual power in his hand. Such a fascinating thing came from oneself and was so magical.

"A fatal disaster..." Mei Lang looked at Anzi and was shocked by what he said.

"Of course, if a fool possesses such powerful spiritual power, I would also be jealous." An Zi stirred the noodles and took another big sip.

"But I'm not a fool." Mei Lang dissipated his spiritual power, and the golden light disappeared. In this small room, it seemed to become much darker.

"But you still don't use it. Then it's almost the same. But I'll tell you a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?" An Zi ate noodles, making very little noise. He drank the soup, wiped the oil with a handkerchief, and put the bowl aside.

"If Brother Anzi is keeping it a secret, I still want to ask first, is there a causal relationship between the good news and the bad news?" Mei Lang had been sitting on the bed. He didn't know who stipulated that practicing required sitting cross-legged, but sitting on the ground seemed not a good idea.

"Yes, the good news comes first and the bad news comes later."

"Then let me hear the good news first."

When Anzi heard Meilang's words, he stood up, picked up the paper with names written all over it, and burped.

"The good news is that we don't need to go to the big sister's study to steal the list. And the characteristics of your spiritual power have actually been revealed. It is a separate spiritual power without attributes. You can reach a very strong realm just by condensing spiritual power. And according to Lao Chen's understanding, this golden spiritual power is so crystal clear. You are definitely a strong man of the human level." An Zi put the paper into the drawer.

"What about the breaking news?" Mei Lang looked at An Zi who seemed unhappy. This was obviously a good thing. How to say it, he only needed to condense his spiritual power normally, and he would be able to reach the so-called "human level", that is, the super realm where spiritual power and human being are united. Although his basic skills are not very solid now, but the upper limit is at least impeccable.

He is a strong man at the human level.

However, it is impossible for the people in Majia Village to reach the human level. They are only capped at the star level.

……

This good news was indeed too good. Although he did not feel anything, no, he felt very exhausted, as if he had not reached the human level and was a complete waste. This was like a kind of pressure that came to him naturally. Now he was just starting out like a new learner. It could be said that he could never beat anyone here. Any member of the Shuangma Club's security department could beat him to a pulp.

Even as An Zi said, this kind of thing that is not in line with one's "identity" will naturally arouse jealousy in no time. Once exposed, fatal disaster is inevitable.

There's also bad news.

"What about the bad news?" Mei Lang watched Anzi put the paper into the drawer.

"The bad news is that there are only a few strong people of the Human Rank in the entire empire, and the few I know are almost 50 years old, and they are all from large families. It is almost unheard of that anyone can further improve their spiritual strength without relying on elixirs to replenish it. And the amount of elixirs that an average family consumes is definitely not enough. It is probably impossible to find your identity, because the empire does not seem to have... such a young Human Rank." An Zijie sighed.

Therefore, the method he mentioned last time in the shelter cave of finding his true identity, or narrowing the scope of identity search, has failed, and even other methods may no longer work.

In this world, strong men of the Human-level could be regarded as national treasures. How could they appear here? Those strong men of the Human-level had already entered old age or middle age. If such a young guy possessed the strength of the Human-level, wouldn't everyone know about it?

Wouldn't the whole empire celebrate? An Zi would definitely be able to say his name off the top of his head, so why would he need to find it?
I guess people from all over the world will come to worship.

How could I not know his appearance? Or even his features?

But, no...

After all these years, An Zi has never heard of such a talent emerging in the empire and publicized or even discussed nationwide. He has not even heard a rumor. How is this possible?
"Then... doesn't it mean the search is hopeless..." Mei Lang knew the truth very well. The Human-level was too powerful, and it was impossible not to shock the whole country. If the whole country knew about it, An Zi and the people around him would also know it. Wouldn't Mei Lang's real name come out of their mouths?
I'm really happy to have the strength of the human-level. It means that my potential can sprint to a certain stage. Don't worry too much about your current situation, or even if your basic skills are not solid. You will eventually reach the upper limit.

However, sometimes it is better not to have such a high level. Even if it is the first level of the Star Rank, it will be fine. Once you look it up in the Record of Celebrities and compare the spiritual power characteristics, your real name will be almost certain.

but now……

"It's not impossible. It's better to have it than not. But it's better not to talk nonsense. I've already informed Lao Chen. You'd better not follow him. If he tells others about it, your situation will definitely be very strange. Not to mention the jealous people, just the admirers will put you in big trouble." Someone came to collect the bowls. The person knocked on the door. An Zi opened the door and said apologetically that he was going to take the bowls out to avoid trouble. The person said it was okay.

Anzi closed the door, Meilang got out of bed, and he jumped up to exercise his leg strength. Golden light passed through his body.

“In fact, the golden spiritual power does not necessarily mean that one’s strength has reached the human-shaped rank or above. It may also be some kind of spiritual power characteristic, or the release of special spiritual power from a certain move. But your current situation is very likely not one of these speculations. It is very likely the spiritual power condensed from the real human-shaped rank. This is not because what Lao Chen says is true, but because you don’t know how to release anything, not even the basic skills.” An Zi took a sip of hot water and blew a breath.

"So, your next search may be even more difficult. The Book of Celebrities will not be of any help at all, because as far as I know, there are really few people on the list who are at the human level." Anzi glanced at Mei Lang who was jumping around.

"I almost understand, but I still don't understand, how powerful is the human-shaped step?" Mei Lang was a little out of breath. In just a few seconds, he jumped many times and even the rabbit couldn't keep up with him.

"There are only three steps away from becoming a god: the human level, the earth level, the sky level, the demigod, and the quasi-god. There have definitely been people who have become quasi-gods in history. They are the goals and objects of worship for all practitioners and immortal cultivators, but... the number of people who have died on this road is too numerous to count even if you write a few books." An Zi knew a lot, most of which came from the Imperial Celebrity Records. He himself said that when his family was well off, although he did not have the ability to obtain spiritual power, he still cared about body training, so that at least he could defend himself against attacks from ordinary people. Therefore, he also read the copy of the Imperial Celebrity Records carefully. Although he could not classify them all, or even find a certain person like looking for a needle in a haystack, he still remembered some anecdotes about real celebrities clearly.

“Let me put it this way. The purity of spiritual power of the Human-shaped rank is definitely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The power released by the same spell is, if not earth-shattering, bound to stir up a storm. I have used the term national treasure to describe it, and you can imagine that as long as this village produces a Human-shaped rank, no, no, no, as long as a Star-shaped rank is produced, it is a very remarkable thing. Our Shuangma Club is because of the two famous people, the president and the old man, and other chambers of commerce have also given some face. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to get big orders.” Anzi continued to explain and began to take off his clothes to rest.

Regardless of whether Mei Lang understands it or not, based on his comprehension, he should understand it. The human-level spiritual power is definitely a kind of wealth. Not to mention the spiritual power condensed to a certain level, which can extract the most essential part of the spiritual power itself for use, but being able to sense the golden origin of spiritual power requires unremitting efforts.

Not to mention that people with human-level potential may not be able to achieve it, those who will never be able to achieve it in this lifetime will definitely go crazy for it.

"By the way." Anzi folded the clothes slightly and placed them on the cabinet next to his bed.

"What's wrong?" Mei Lang stopped and wiped the sweat with a towel.

He is the crazy person in Anzi's eyes. Mei Lang with spiritual power and without spiritual power are like two different people. Although Anzi jokingly calls him a martial arts fanatic, that is, he is obsessed with mastering basic skills as soon as possible, it can still be seen that Mei Lang is eager to develop his own strength.

Perhaps, Mei Lang did not want to have spiritual power but not be able to use it. Even as a groom, he would definitely not be willing to accept that.

Who wants to deal with horse manure every day?
"I want to remind you that although power is very tempting, the dangers you face are different in different realms. Although this sentence is suitable anywhere, for many people, no one knows whether danger can crush you. Not everyone is destined to succeed. Some succeed, some fail. Who doesn't like failure, but there are always people who fail. You have to be more careful. Having this power is not all good, is it?" Anzi sat down, moved his legs onto the bed, fell down, and made a comfortable cry.

"Ah... your life story may be cut off from now on. If you spread it everywhere, although I know you won't, because I have been with you for almost half a month, but others don't know, if someone is not sure what is good for you and wants to spar with you, and your strength has not recovered, and you meet someone with a bad temper, you will be beaten to death. I will not be surprised, because many people died in this way. Don't be surprised why they don't show mercy, this is spiritual power. That's all."

"Thanks for the reminder." Mei Lang sat down and lay on the bed. Although he was a horse cellar sweeper, he still met people. Some people looked down on him, some didn't like him, and there were even people who made things difficult for him.

He didn't know why, maybe it was just because of the stable cellar cleaning, or maybe it was just because he was a newcomer.

He has a good temper and doesn't care.

But one cannot endure being bullied for no reason for long. His current situation is very strange. If he can fight back and has the strength to fight back, will he just give in and apologize, saying it is his fault?

It's hard.

Even if An Zi reminded him, he couldn't help but fight back.

What should we do then?

But at least Anzi's words are very useful, so I won't have to wait until that time to regret it.
