Black Metal Plate (3)

Luo Zhe used his telekinetic powers to carefully explore the metal plate.

The Spiritual Force surged into the Black Metal Plate like a tidal wave, but encountered trouble inside the Black Metal Plate.

It turns out that although Luo Zhe's Spiritual Force has reached the level of a peak High-level War God in terms of quantity, his control over Spiritual Force Spiritual Force still quite rough because Luo Zhe has not been awakening it for long.

The layers of obstructions within the Black Metal Plate resembled a fine fishing net, blocking the incoming Spiritual Force layer by layer. Luo Zhe's scattered Spiritual Force was like a disorganized school of fish in the ocean, completely unable to break through these layers of obstruction and confinement in one go.

Moreover, and most importantly, each time he broke through an obstacle, the loss of mental strength was considerable. However, after barely breaking through three obstacles, Luo Zhe's face turned pale and his mind became somewhat dizzy. The mental strength in his sea of consciousness was about to be completely exhausted.

"No, I can't take it anymore!"

Due to excessive depletion of his Spiritual Force, Luo Zhe's first attempt to penetrate the interior of the Black Metal Plate failed!

Luo Zhe withdrew his remaining Spiritual Force, panting heavily on the spot to calm himself down before staring at the Black Metal Plate in his hand with a grim expression.

"I can't keep playing like this, or I'll probably be drained dry before I even uncover its secrets!"

Feeling the sparse and dwindling mental energy remaining in his sea of consciousness, Luo Zhe frowned and said, "Unfortunately, my control over Spiritual Force is not refined enough yet. Therefore, when breaking through those layers of obstacles, most of my Spiritual Force was wasted and did not serve any purpose."

We have to find a solution; we can't come all the way to Gold Mountain and leave empty-handed!

After sitting and pondering for a while, Luo Zhe looked at the Black Metal Plate in his hand and felt a headache coming on.

He had always followed the path of a pure Fighter and never imagined that he would one day awaken the talent of Spirit Reader. Moreover, his identity as Spirit Reader was only acquired halfway through his career. Although he had spent two months honing his skills by fighting monster Luo Zhe in the Wilderness Zone, which deepened his understanding of Spiritual Force, he still had not reached the level of subtlety.

Luo Zhe sometimes even thought that if it weren't for the fact that he had unintentionally awakened his identity Spirit Reader when he consumed the herb spirit— the Ten-Thousand-Year Fo-Ti —he would probably have continued on the path of Fighter for the rest of his life.

However, the appearance of the pale blue energy now forces Luo Zhe to take a two-pronged approach: he must excel in both Fighter and Spirit Reader. He cannot allow either aspect to fall behind.

"Oh, right."

Luo Zhe suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed in delight, "As long as the rate at which my Spiritual Force recovers can keep up with the rate at which it is depleted, then wouldn't I be able to continuously use the generated Spiritual Force to attack the Black Metal Plate?!"

In the Dimensional Space, the continuous and abundant Universe Energy can help him accelerate the recovery of his Spiritual Force, which is a good opportunity to give it a try!

Thinking of this, Luo Zhe could no longer sit still.

A thought crossed my mind.

Whoosh!

Grabbing the metal plate, he entered the Dimensional Space directly.

The Dimensional Space remained a vast, desolate wasteland, devoid of any life except for Luo Zhe himself. The plant spirit seeds that Luo Zhe had abandoned in the corner that day still lay obediently in place, showing no sign of sprouting or taking root.

Luo Zhe gripped the Black Metal Plate, sat cross-legged on the ground, and assumed Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture, thinking to himself, "Ever since reaching the peak of the War God, I've been trying to break through, but I haven't felt any breakthrough yet. I have a gut feeling..."

"My breakthrough opportunity might just lie in this metal plate!"

After adjusting himself to his optimal state, Luo Zhe opened his eyes, placed the Black Metal Plate on his crossed legs, and mentally issued the 'absorb' command to the Five Hearts. After feeling the Universe Energy being frantically absorbed by the Five Hearts channels, the Spiritual Force in Luo Zhe's sea of consciousness surged out instantly, transforming into a huge wave that continuously impacted the Black Metal Plate.

They still encountered numerous obstacles when trying to enter the interior of the Black Metal Plate.

But this time, Luo Zhe was prepared. All his Spiritual Force seemed to transform into fine needles, finding the weak points of the obstacle and smashing them in hard, one layer, two layers, three layers... nine layers, ten layers.

A moment later—"Hmm?" Luo Zhe's expression changed slightly, feeling that his mental power could no longer penetrate deeper.

"Can't be drilled through?"

"I refuse to believe it!" Luo Zhe narrowed his eyes.

All Spiritual Force converged and plunged in!

Boom!

Luo Zhe's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled violently, and blood flowed down from his ears, nose, eyes, and other parts of his body, which looked rather terrifying.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Luo Zhe, who was originally in the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture on the ground, turned red-faced, and blood gushed out of his mouth like tap water, staining the ground in front of him and also watering the seeds of the spirit of grass and trees.

Snap!

Losing consciousness, Luo Zhe's body collapsed limply to the ground, motionless, and the Black Metal Plate fell to the side with him.

After a long while, Luo Zhe, who was lying on the ground, suddenly beckoned with his finger, and then slowly opened his eyes.

He tried to struggle to get up, but found that his head was throbbing with pain as if it were being pricked by countless needles. The intense pain made Luo Zhe give up the attempt to get up and he could only lie quietly on the spot.

In his mind, he was complaining, "Why does this Dimensional Space feel like it's my natural enemy? Every time I come in, I either cough up blood or faint. Can't we have something a little more original?"

The slightest movement of his body felt like thousands of Nanny Rong were stabbing his head, causing excruciating pain. Faced with this situation, Luo Zhe lay still with practiced ease, silently absorbing the scattered Universe Energy in the space, continuously converting it into Genetic Origin Energy and Spiritual Force, allowing his head to recover faster.

In this Dimensional Space, there is no alternation of sun, moon, and stars, so Luo Zhe Luo Zhe lost his sense of time. He didn't know how long he had been lying on the ground until finally, his head no longer felt like it was being weighed down by a large rock, and he felt much more relaxed.

Trying to get up, Luo Zhe found that the pain had almost completely disappeared. He stood up straight, picked up the Black Metal Plate that had fallen to the side, and his Spiritual Force once again burst out of his body, sweeping over the Black Metal Plate.

As Luo Zhe expected, the obstacles inside remained completely unchanged.

In other words, Luo Zhe's second attempt has failed once again!

All that blood spitting out on the ground was for nothing!

Looking at the Black Metal Plate in his hand, Luo Zhe was also a bit of a headache. This thing was completely impervious to reason. He had finally managed to detect that Spiritual Force had an effect on it, but even after playing with it until he vomited blood, there was still no result.

"What am I supposed to do with you?!" Luo Zhe exclaimed helplessly.

The Black Metal Plate was an inanimate object, and naturally it wouldn't respond to Luo Zhe's complaints, remaining silent just as it had been when Tong Yang handed it to Luo Zhe that day, unchanged.

Suddenly, Luo Zhe's gaze fell on the invisible membrane that divided the chaos, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
