Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 146 Single-Unit Resonance

Ding Yumin looked at Tang Yue, who had come to join in the fun but ended up being affected, and smiled like a salted fish.

"Get up quickly, or you won't want to do anything if you wait too long."

Wang Teng nudged her, pushing her out of the swirling motion, and moved her to the other end of the sofa, casually erasing the traces of laziness from her mind.

"Huh? What happened to me just now?" Tang Yue's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. In just a short while, she seemed to have been inexplicably affected, and she didn't seem to feel anything.

It was as if it wasn't the other person influencing her, but rather she herself felt she wanted to be lazy and didn't notice anything unusual.

"That's Yu Mian's mind-based magic. You can't detect it without mind-based magic unless you have a strong will or are usually very focused on your mental energy."

"Yu Mian is talented, but don't spread this around. Talent is a mage's core secret, and it could easily have a negative impact on Yu Mian."

Wang Teng explained it to her so she wouldn't be completely clueless, but he didn't specify what level of talent it was.

Because Ding Yumin has already mastered this talent, there won't be any problems.

The fewer people who know about the victims, the better.

"Now I understand. Are all psychic-type students like this?"

"Sister Leng is also a mind-body type." Tang Yue didn't dare to approach her anymore and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

"If the hierarchical restrictions of standard magic are not broken, being able to unleash 3% of the power of mind magic is considered a sign of proficiency."

Wang Teng shook his head and then continued testing his Mind Resonance talent.

Laziness kept rising within him, but his willpower was so strong that it couldn't break through his defenses for the time being.

"I still don't understand how it works."

He rubbed his chin. This resonance was really a bit strange. In the past, when he controlled the demon war in Xiling, whether it was mental piercing, mental impact, or emotional coverage, the final Five Turbid Hell was an attack mode from the outside in.

All of these require overcoming the defenses of the soul or mind; even emotional manipulation requires overcoming the level of willpower.

The higher one's skill level, the harder it is for the opponent to detect and resist. Demons have not systematically studied this kind of knowledge; they rely on their unwavering will and powerful souls to resist.

Ding Yumin's spiritual resonance did not occur from the outside in, but was generated directly from within, as if ignoring the existence of time and space.

Unless both are mental mage and use the same power to suppress or counter it, it will not work. The only thing that can be done is to suppress the rising negative emotions by focusing one's will to the extreme.

Demons can only watch helplessly as they are affected. If their will is worn away, they will become completely manipulated puppets.

"Yu Mian, be careful, I'm about to reverse the telepathic resonance."

He wasn't without options; since passively accepting the situation wouldn't allow him to experience that feeling, he decided to become the main signal tower himself.

Upon hearing his words, Ding Yumin immediately focused her attention.

"Order Reversal~"

Wang Teng's body flashed with chaotic constellations, and an aura of chaotic magic that could manipulate everything emanated from him.

He focused on spiritual resonance, entering through passive resonance and reversing the order to actively resonate outwards.

In that instant, he sensed something different, and an invisible resonance returned to Ding Yumin!

Ding Yumin looked astonished, her eyes widening, and she quickly maintained the resonance state.

The two entered a strange state of mutual resonance, and the speed of laziness accumulation rapidly increased. In just over ten seconds, Ding Yumin was forced to exit the resonance.

Without the true source, this chain of resonance is broken.

"I'm starting to get the hang of it~" Wang Teng exclaimed in amazement. He had already grasped the feeling of resonating with the opponent. To master it, he would need to keep trying and practicing.

"Hmm~ I'll continue later... uh~ let's continue."

Ding Yumin had a sullen expression on her face, but she quickly cleared away her negative emotions and regained her lively spirit.

Tang Yue covered her mouth and laughed as she watched Ding Yumin's performance. Just watching these two play was very entertaining.

The two began to play back and forth, having a great time. It was also the first time Ding Yumin had experienced being resonated with, so she and Wang Teng continued to play the resonance game.

Time flew by, and night fell.

Tang Yue and Ding Yumin, two beautiful women, stared intently at Wang Teng, who was practicing with his eyes closed. After an entire afternoon of practice, Wang Teng seemed to have mastered it.

"Soulful resonance!"

Wang Teng opened his eyes and actively used his mind resonance ability on Ding Yumin, immediately ignoring her defenses and connecting to her mind.

"It's done!"

"However, there is a drawback that is not a flaw: this ability can only be used in one-on-one situations."

He said with a strange expression, having roughly guessed in his mind that there could only be one victim of the Mind System in this lifetime, and wondered if he had stolen a portion of the authority.

"You're already amazing. You've learned Yu Mian's talent, and you're still not satisfied." Tang Yue patted his shoulder.

"Yes, you're right. This talent is mainly for dealing with single, powerful demons, ignoring their defenses."

Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction, now he would have the means to deal with those top-tier demons in the future.

Once mind-based magic can ignore defenses, its effects can be terrifying.

He needs to develop unique mind-based magic to counter this ability, and use it in conjunction with spirit binding and soul manipulation. Will he ever lack high-quality spirit essence in the future?

As long as he sneaks over using the void stealth ability and secretly applies negative status effects to the opponent, he can outlast the monarch-level opponent.

"I'm going to cook. You two wait here." Tang Yue got up and headed towards the kitchen.

"Sister Yue, let me help you." Ding Yumin immediately got up and jogged to catch up with her.

Wang Teng glanced at the two of them, then continued his cultivation, familiarizing himself with the ability. The telepathic resonance was indeed very useful and could become one of his methods for defeating enemies.

Its effect is comparable to the Void Stealth Spell, allowing one to silently eliminate enemies.

Mind resonance isn't considered magic; it's a talent. He's able to constantly reverse things using chaos magic, so learning this youthful version of mind resonance is already quite an achievement.

The next step is to continuously practice and hone this skill. After all, it's something you learn, not something you're born with, and it requires a lot of practice to master completely.

Night falls.

A soft light shone outside the villa, and the artificial hill in the center of the pond shimmered with a blue glow, making the entire pond look incredibly beautiful.

The lawn was illuminated by columnar light sources of alternating yellow and green, and the willow tree displayed an icy blue misty glow, exuding an ethereal aura.

The mosquito-repellent crystals placed throughout the manor ensured that not a single mosquito or insect was attracted, even when the lights were on.
