The phones of this era are completely transparent, a technology derived from the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, using a universal 7G signal, two to three generations ahead of the technology of the previous two lives.

After the video call connected, a square-faced man in military uniform appeared on the screen, his expression serious and meticulous. A hideous scar ran down his right cheek, making him look somewhat fierce.

"You blockhead, I've got good news for you! Our precious son has awakened his Mentalist abilities. Yesterday's coma was also caused by the awakening of his mind power!"

As Chen Wen spoke, she pulled Shen Mu into a hug and brought him in front of the camera.

"Dad."

The fusion of memories from two lifetimes, or rather, the awakening of innate wisdom, prevented Shen Mu from feeling estranged or unfamiliar with his parents in this life.

Hearing Chen Wen's words, Shen Gang's previously stern expression showed a hint of shock, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously worried that the call would bring bad news.

"Xiao Mu, how about joining the army with Dad?" Shen Gang asked, looking at Shen Mu on the side of the screen.

Shen Gang had always wanted to bring his son under his command. Now that he saw his son had awakened his Mentalist abilities, he couldn't help but mention it again.

However, before Shen Mu could reply, Chen Wen's expression suddenly changed, and the joyful look on her face instantly disappeared.

"Shen Gang, I've told you, if you try to lure our son into your unit again, we're getting a divorce!"

Chen Wen seemed to be shrouded in a layer of low pressure, her suppressed anger evident in her low voice.

As the largest frontline war base in Kyoto Base City resisting Oceanic Beasts, the base under Shen Gang's command had a high casualty rate among its serving soldiers.

Every time an Oceanic Beasts tide erupted, Chen Wen worried about Shen Gang's safety, tossing and turning all night, afraid of receiving a notification from the authorities.

Shen Gang's expression froze. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he just whispered, "Sorry..."

"Hanging up!" Chen Wen didn't give her husband a good look and hung up the phone directly.

Seeing that Chen Wen's expression was still not good, Shen Mu comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I've already joined the Martial Hall, I'm not going anywhere."

"Good, good, good, my precious son is so sensible."

Chen Wen immediately beamed with joy and said, "Let's go, Mom will take you to the Martial Hall to test the strength of your mind power."

Although Shen Mu's family also had a strength testing device, its accuracy certainly couldn't compare to the testing equipment provided by the Martial Hall.

Saying they were going to the Martial Hall was really just turning a corner outside their home.

The Martial Hall was located within the Martial Artist Family Community. The Limit Martial Hall family community in each Satellite City was the main base for Limit Martial Hall martial artists in the entire Satellite City.

As the world's largest force, the Limit Martial Hall was present in every Base City and Satellite City. Its Global Headquarters oversaw the main halls of each Base City, which in turn oversaw the halls of each Satellite City, and finally the basic district-level Martial Halls.

In the center of the Limit Community, a large silver-white building rose from the ground, four stories high, which was the Changshan Limit Hall.

"Sister Chen, Little Shen!"

"Is Little Shen alright now?"

"Instructor Chen, Brother Mu!"

On the way to the Martial Hall, many martial artist family members greeted Chen Wen and Shen Mu with smiles. They had been neighbors and acquaintances for many years, and their relationship was quite good.

In particular, Chen Wen was also an instructor at the Martial Hall, and many newly promoted martial artists had been personally taught by Chen Wen. Each of them could be considered Shen Mu's senior brothers and sisters, so many people knew that Shen Mu had suddenly fainted yesterday.

The mother and son politely responded to the people around them and entered the first floor of the hall.

The first floor of the hall was generally used for physical fitness tests during martial artist assessments, so it appeared relatively empty.

The second floor was for the family members of martial artists to train, with better conditions than the district-level Martial Halls. The third floor was where the Martial Hall's instructors and martial artists trained and sparred.

At this time, on the third floor, a middle-aged man in his late forties was training with a long spear, none other than Wang Yudong, the chief instructor of the Changshan Limit Hall.

"Instructor Chen Wen, you're here so early."

Wang Yudong put away his spear and looked at Shen Mu beside Chen Wen. "Xiao Mu, I heard you suddenly fainted yesterday. Your Uncle Wang was quite startled. Are you alright?"

Seeing Wang Yudong ask about Shen Mu's condition, Chen Wen said with some pride, "Brother Wang, Xiao Mu might give you a surprise this time."

"Oh?" Wang Yudong looked at Shen Mu with some doubt.

Chen Wen nudged Shen Mu. "Hurry, let your Uncle Wang see your skills."

Seeing Chen Wen enter a state of showing off her son, Shen Mu was helpless and could only release his mind power.

Instantly, on the weapon rack at the edge of the training hall, various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds slowly floated in mid-air.

"Mentalist!" Wang Yudong's eyes seemed to flash with a bright light. He immediately understood that Shen Mu's coma yesterday was caused by the awakening of his Mentalist abilities.

"Good, good, good, Xiao Mu, quickly test the strength of your mind power!"

Wang Yudong was very happy that Shen Mu had become a Mentalist. After all, under his leadership, the Changshan Limit Martial Hall had produced another Mentalist genius, which was also a good thing for him.

Most importantly, Shen Mu was only 18 years old and was originally a newly promoted beginner martial artist. Now that he had awakened his mind power, his strength was probably close to Warlord-level.

As he spoke, Wang Yudong had already started the strength testing instrument located next to the weapon rack.

"Okay." Shen Mu nodded slightly, then controlled the various weapons to return to the weapon rack. Only the fifteen throwing knives within the throwing knife box floated up, then quickly flew to his side and circled around him.

"Go!"

Shen Mu gave a low shout, and a throwing knife shot out with a whoosh, directly hitting the special shooting target on the strength testing instrument.

The Martial Hall's strength testing instruments were all specially made, naturally taking into account the situation of Mentalists testing their mind power strength, so there was a special shooting target. As long as the impact force did not exceed the upper limit of Advanced Warlord-level, it would not be damaged.

"Bang!"

The powerful impact of the throwing knife struck the target, sending it flying backward.

Beep!

After the strength testing machine beeped, a clear number appeared on the display screen: '5124kg'.

"Over five thousand kilograms, as expected of an advanced Warrior-level. Good son, you haven't disappointed Mom!" Chen Wen said with a joyful expression.

As an instructor at the Limit Martial Hall, Chen Wen knew very well that her son, as an 18-year-old advanced Warrior-level Mentalist, had a great chance of entering the basic training camp at the Martial Hall Global Headquarters for special training.

"Xiao Mu, continue. Let's test how many throwing knives you can control simultaneously without reducing their power," Wang Yudong said quickly.

The number of Mentalist weapons a Mentalist can control simultaneously without reducing their power is equivalent to a martial artist's force exertion multiplier.

Generally speaking, a Warrior-level Mentalist can control two Mentalist weapons at full power, and the best among them can control three.

Warlord-level Mentalists can control about three. It should be known that 99% of Warlord-level martial artists have not mastered the three times force exertion technique.

This is one of the reasons why Mentalists basically crush martial artists of the same level.

As for God of War-level Mentalists, they can at least control four Mentalist weapons at full power simultaneously. Wang Yudong didn't know the maximum.

Wang Yudong's words were exactly what Shen Mu wanted. Although Shen Mu's mental power was only at the advanced Warrior-level, the strength of his consciousness amplitude depended on the mental power strength of his other King-level beast clone, the East Sea Azure Dragon.

The so-called consciousness amplitude, also known as Mind Amplitude, is a concept unique to the universe. For example, if you control two throwing knives at the same time, and both throwing knives can reach their maximum power, then the Mind Amplitude strength is 2.

[Note: It was mentioned in Chapter 9 of the sixth volume of the original work that the consciousness amplitude depends on the Mentalist realm of the strongest clone.]

What Shen Mu needed now was to gain Hong's attention, obtain more resources, and quickly improve his strength.

Because today was January 16, 2058, Luo Feng had already risen. In September of last year, Luo Feng became an inspector of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Hall with the identity of an invincible God of War, and was now undergoing trials in the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9.

He had to rise quickly in a short period of time, otherwise he might miss the opportunity to go to the universe.

Shoo, shoo!

Under Shen Mu's control, two throwing knives shot straight at the force testing target.

"Beep!"

Along with the machine's prompt, the maximum impact force of Shen Mu's two throwing knives just now appeared on the screen: 10284kg!

Next, before Wang Yudong could speak, Shen Mu controlled three throwing knives to shoot at the test target at the same time.

Beep—15372kg!

"Controlling three throwing knives at the same time, with an impact force of more than fifteen thousand kilograms!" Wang Yudong's face was extremely excited as he whispered. His mother, Chen Wen's reaction was similar.

This meant that Shen Mu's strength was already comparable to that of a beginner Warlord-level martial artist. It should be known that the force exertion multiplier of most beginner Warlord-level martial artists had not reached 2 times.

Like Shen Mu's father, Shen Gang, who cultivated the World Extinction spear technique created by Hong, his force exertion amplitude reached 3 times, making him one of the top existences among advanced Warlord-level martial artists.

"Mom, Uncle Wang... I feel like I haven't reached my limit yet!"

Shen Mu put on an uncertain expression, looking at Chen Wen and Wang Yudong.

Chen Wen and Wang Yudong were both stunned, and then they saw Wang Yudong say, "Quick, quick, continue testing!"

Then the two saw a shocking scene...

A little over a minute later, in Chen Wen and Wang Yudong's incredibly shocked gazes, Shen Mu controlled 10 throwing knives to burst out.

Beep—50714kg!

Shen Mu rubbed his brow. This was already his limit, barely considered a 10 times Mind Amplitude.

Although his East Sea Azure Dragon clone was at the second level of the Planet-level, the same level as Ister, the fourth Speaker of the War God Palace, his Mind Amplitude was less than 10 times, 4 times lower than Ister.

But this was already very good. Shen Mu knew very well that Ister was able to do this after cultivating the object control secret technique Celestial Atlas in the Mentalist Foundation for many years.

"Mom, Uncle Wang, I've reached my limit," Shen Mu said to his mother and Wang Yudong, who were already in a daze.

Wang Yudong swallowed, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Xiao Mu, your situation... I have to report it to our base city's main hall."

There will be two more updates after twelve o'clock, which will be released at twelve o'clock every day.
