Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 13 Psychic Talent Source Crystal
"Roar!"

The next moment, a shrill roar reappeared, the pain of losing its tail swept over its entire body, and the two-tailed tiger cat rolled on the ground, howling and struggling.

"puff!"

Taking advantage of this opportune moment, Lu Jin rushed forward like lightning, thrusting his sword straight forward, piercing through the tough fur, the blade penetrating directly into the brain of the two-tailed tiger cat from its lower jaw.

Instantly, the two-tailed tiger cat stopped howling and struggling, and lost its life.

At the same time, a pale golden light familiar to Lu Jin flashed across his corpse.

Lu Jin quickly scanned the external space with his consciousness, and a smile appeared on his lips.

As expected, a bottle of apprentice-level life essence liquid was produced.

It can improve physical fitness by thousands of kilograms of punching power!

At this moment, Li Tao stepped forward, glanced at the two-tailed tiger cat's corpse with a broken tail, and said, "Tsk~, what a pity."

The materials from this two-tailed tiger-cat were originally worth around 900 million, but your sword strike has cost at least a million.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's lips twitched.

The same monster can have significantly different prices depending on the quality of the materials used.

The most valuable part of the tiger-cat monster is the almost transparent tendon in its tail.

The materials from Beast Soldier-level monsters are worthless; he can do without them.

However, materials from Beast General-level monsters are quite valuable, so we can't just discard them.

He had severed one of the two tails of this tiger cat, and one of its two tail tendons was broken, which naturally caused a significant depreciation in the value of the material.

Lu Bin laughed and said, "Haha~, it's not much money, just be careful in the future."

When conditions permit, it is best to preserve the integrity of high-value materials.

Otherwise, the devaluation of materials caused by your monster hunting will definitely be equivalent to the market value of a large company.

The materials for a Lord-level monster start at hundreds of millions of Chinese Yuan. If a War God Warrior doesn't pay attention to this aspect, it's absolutely enough to evaporate the wealth equivalent to the market value of a large company.

Judging from Lu Jin's demonstrated talent, becoming a War God Warrior is definitely not a problem.

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded and stepped forward to collect the tail tendons of the two-tailed tiger cat.

August 17, County Town No. 0202.

As dusk fell, in a dilapidated shopping mall, Lu Jin was battling a fox-like monster the size of a calf, with snow-white fur, but now covered in wounds.

County 0214 is just an ordinary county town, and monsters of the Beast General level rarely appear.

As their training progressed, Lu Jin and his companions moved to County 0202, which was a county-level city before the Great Nirvana. It was more prosperous than County 0214 and now had a significantly larger number of Beast General-level monsters.

'boom! ’

A surge of mental energy invaded his mind, causing Lu Jin to momentarily lose his senses during the battle, with illusions flooding his mind.

'break!'

He focused his mind and shouted sharply, and the illusion that had appeared vanished instantly. A beast's claw rapidly enlarged in Lu Jin's vision.

Lu Jin reacted swiftly, thrusting out his Broken Army Sword, the sharp blade slicing off a claw from the claw of the low-level beast general-level monster 'Phantom Fox'.

"squeak--"

The pain of the severed toe shot into its brain, and the phantom fox, already bearing multiple sword wounds, instinctively retracted its claws, unable to help but roar in agony.

"puff!"

The next second, a flash of sword light appeared, and the sharp Po Jun battle sword sliced ​​through the phantom fox's neck. Blood splattered as it severed the phantom fox monster's throat. "Whoosh~"

The fatal wound had appeared, and the phantom fox was doomed. Lu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as there are psychic magicians and illusionists among human martial artists, there are also illusionist-type monsters among monsters, such as the Illusion Fox among fox-type monsters.

It can be said with certainty that the low-level beast general-level phantom fox in front of him is the most troublesome of the more than twenty low-level beast general-level monsters he has hunted in the past few days.

Whenever the sword is about to strike its opponent, the Illusion Fox will cast a mental illusion spell on him.

Fortunately, martial artists also possess spiritual power, though it has quality but not quantity, but that doesn't mean it's nonexistent.

In addition, this illusionary fox was half a level lower than him. After being hit by the extremely crude illusion, he would at most fall into a momentary daze, rather than be completely immersed in the illusion and unable to extricate himself.

After a brief exchange, they seized upon a moment of carelessness by their opponent and won the battle.

Soon, the phantom fox, lying in a pool of blood, lost its life.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light flashed on the corpse of the phantom fox, two orbs of light fell down, and then disappeared.

Lu Jin could see clearly that two orbs of light burst out, one of which was a light gold color representing a normal drop, and the other was a pure gold color representing a critical hit drop.

'Double the surprise, and a critical hit too? Just don't give me any monster materials I can't use.'

Lu Jin silently complained, then separated a portion of his consciousness and sank into the cheat space.

Thanks to the special nature of the cheat, after many practices, he no longer needs to devote all his consciousness to checking the dropped items in the cheat space. He only needs to allocate a portion of his consciousness to avoid losing his vision of the outside world.

Of course, with his current strength, he can only separate a portion of his consciousness when exploring the external space; he does not have the ability to 'segment his consciousness' normally.

When the mind touches the two orbs of light, the golden light dissipates, and two dropped items and their respective descriptions appear in the light screen.

The common drop was a bottle of apprentice-level life essence that Lu Jin was familiar with.

The item obtained from a critical hit is a transparent crystal bead about the size of a marble.

The next moment, Lu Jin's eyes widened, a look of intense surprise flashing in them.

【Item Name: Psychic Talent Source Crystal】

[Drop Source: Novice Beast General Illusion Fox (Apprentice Tier 4, Innate Psychic Power)]

[Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: For oral consumption. After use, it grants the user a natural psychic talent at the peak of the ninth rank of Apprentice (Note: Psychic power can be up to two ranks higher than physical attributes)]

This...this...a mentalist?!
According to calculations, after consuming this newly released life essence, his punching power will reach the standard level of a mid-level warrior.

Before a mentalist's innate mental power is fully realized, the strength of their mental power will always be two levels higher than their physical attributes.

In other words, he can become a junior War God Spiritualist?

Moreover, his innate mental power talent at the peak of the ninth rank of apprentice meant that he didn't need to cultivate mental power at all before becoming a peak mental master of advanced war god.

When one's physical abilities reach the peak of the initial War God level in the future, one's mental power will automatically rise to the peak of the advanced War God level.

"Not bad. Being able to kill this phantom fox means that, apart from the mentalists who control the flow of energy, you are already among the best of the junior warriors."

At that moment, Lu Bin's voice reached Lu Jin's ears.

"call out!"

A six-element throwing knife flew out from the buckle on the back of Lu Jin's combat uniform and landed on Lu Bin's body.

Illusion-type monsters are more dangerous than ordinary monsters of the same level. If Lu Jin cannot withstand the illusion and his consciousness falls into the illusion, the Illusion Fox will strike Lu Jin's face, which is not protected by combat clothing. There is a possibility that he will be killed by a single claw.
