In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

As Shi Geng gazed at the golden sphere, a clear and unmistakable sensation spread through him. He could easily manipulate the power of the mist in this space, touching, pulling, and even directly controlling all objects in the outside world from a distance.

With a thought, the mist in the space moved as if guided by his own arm, extending outwards along with his consciousness.

This is not what is called qi and blood, nor is it simply energy, but rather spiritual power, an extraordinary power that directly touches the soul.

With this power, he could control objects remotely and explore all directions.

The golden sphere continued to rotate slowly, continuously converting cosmic energy into psychic mist, strengthening the sea of ​​consciousness.

Shi Geng understood that as his sea of ​​consciousness continued to expand and the fog became denser, his mental power would only grow stronger. In the future, he might even be able to use his mental power to take shape, solidify matter, and break through the void, achieving true divine insight.

The next moment, his consciousness returned to his body, and his eyes suddenly opened.

Two beams of light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The invisible mental force swept silently in all directions. The weights and fighting equipment on the training ground trembled slightly at the same time, and were suspended half an inch in the air. Then, the moment he withdrew his mental force, they gently fell back to their original positions.

The hunters not far away were all stunned and stopped their training.

Mark's pupils contracted sharply, a storm raging in his heart: What kind of power is this?!

This was far beyond his comprehension...

Shi Geng slowly stood up, feeling the surging blood and qi within his body, as well as the vast and boundless spiritual power in his mind that could control all things. A smile appeared on his lips.

This awakening of his spiritual power not only gave him an extra means of telekinesis, but more terrifyingly, the vast and unfathomable spiritual power repeatedly washed over his meridians and flesh, directly transforming his physical body.

Strength, speed, reaction time, physical defense... all aspects increased dramatically.

In terms of pure strength alone, conservatively estimated, it has increased by 10,000 jin, or a terrifying force of 5,000 kilograms!

At this moment, his blood and qi were boiling, and his muscles and bones were resonating. Any punch he threw was no longer a simple exertion of muscle power, but a combination of mental power, blood and qi, and physical strength.

Let alone ordinary Devouring Beasts, even large-scale mutated Devouring Beasts could have their skulls blown off with a single punch.

The gravity objects on the lighthouse looked no different from paper in front of him.

Shi Geng clenched his fist, feeling the power almost overflowing from his body, his eyes calm and unwavering.

This improvement, which is a ceiling that others can never reach in their entire lives, is just an appetizer for him after his awakening.

He could clearly feel that his mental energy was like a dense, endless torrent, constantly washing over and tempering his physical body, strengthening it in every aspect, from cells to bones and muscles, from meridians to internal organs.

This is a process that requires time to mature. Only when physical strength and mental power are completely balanced, and the mind and body are in perfect harmony, can it be considered truly perfect.

As for where this limit is and how long it will take, he himself has no way of knowing.

Because at this moment, he is not yet able to use the full power of his mental energy.

This formless and intangible power, which can be obtained in an instant, is too domineering and too terrifying. Even with his current physical body, which is far beyond that of ordinary people, he still cannot withstand its full power.

If one is not careful, the first thing to collapse with mental power will not be the enemy, but his own physical body and sea of ​​consciousness.

His spirit is stronger than his body; that is his current state.

However, Shi Geng was not in a hurry.

The mental energy ball automatically converts cosmic energy, strengthening mental power while simultaneously nourishing the physical body. Both will only grow stronger, and the gap will gradually be closed off.

When his mental power and physical strength truly unite one day, his every move will be a fusion of mental power and blood energy. It's hard to imagine how terrifying that will be.

In the blink of an eye, a metal training baton in the distance suddenly leaped into the air, twitching more than a dozen times with lightning speed, precisely stabbing, chopping, sweeping, and smashing, before landing steadily back on the spot without a sound.

This scene froze all the hunters in the area, who dared not even breathe too heavily.

Mark, Mo Cheng, Ran Bing, Fei Xue, and the others were all shocked, with only one thought in their minds: Instructor, I want to learn this!

Mo Cheng was the first to lose his composure, his eyes widening as he shouted out.

Mark, who was usually calm, was now breathing rapidly, his eyes burning as he stared at Shi Gen.

The group exchanged glances, all seeing the same longing in each other's eyes.

"Want to learn?"

Everyone nodded in unison, like chickens pecking at rice, even Feixue, who was always cold-faced, was no exception.

Shi Geng glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "Sure. Maybe you'll have a chance to learn it when you can take one of my punches and survive."

Mo Cheng's face fell, and his lips twitched: "Instructor, how could we possibly withstand a punch from you..."

"Now that you know, why don't you go practice?"

Shi Geng snorted coldly. In fact, even he himself did not understand how his mental power had been awakened.

His guess was that the golden sphere in his sea of ​​consciousness might have been naturally awakened after being washed by cosmic energy to a critical point. This kind of power, which originates from the soul, cannot be taught step by step.

Watching everyone disperse and grit their teeth as they frantically practiced, Shi Geng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast sky beyond the lighthouse.

Having just awakened his spiritual power and experienced a surge in strength, he felt no joy, but rather a sense of heaviness.

Combining the various unusual phenomena during this period—

The vast cosmic energy that is omnipresent and can be directly absorbed to evolve genes, and the golden sphere of mental energy in the sea of ​​consciousness that is like a core star.

Everything pointed to a cultivation system he was extremely familiar with.

Shi Geng's eyes grew even more somber. If this really was the world, then the Mana Giants might be alien beings from outer space.

"Looks like I'll have to find some time to go to Dragonbone Village."

His eyes narrowed slightly, a deep glint flashing in them. Compared to this self-enclosed lighthouse, the Dragon Bone Village on the ground was the place that truly touched the essence of the Mana ecosystem.

The entire village was built around the Mana Giants and had been dealing with Mana creatures for many years. Their understanding of Mana, Devourer Beasts, and the evolution of life was far beyond what the Beacon people, who relied on old-world technology to survive, could match.

Just as Shi Geng was pondering, the lighthouse was in its most central area.

A massive half-brain floats in a nutrient solution, pulsating slightly, while the other half is replaced by a dense network of mechanical pipes, biochips, and precision instruments. Flesh and metal coexist in a bizarre way, forming the ultimate central hub of the entire lighthouse—the Klotor system.

As Shi Geng's spiritual power fully awakened and spread, the brain of this creature, which had been dormant for countless years, suddenly trembled slightly.

The previously dormant neurons were stirred by an invisible force, and faint golden light lit up between the crisscrossing gyri, like a sleeping galaxy being awakened. The light spread along the nerve fibers and mechanical interfaces, instantly illuminating the entire core compartment.

The Klotor system seemed to be disturbed by some kind of will, with countless data streams surging wildly. The originally cold, mechanical operating rhythm began to resonate faintly with a certain frequency.
