Consciousness Sea Rating

"You can't put it that way. Mental strength can be tempered and steadily increased with each passing day. Breaking through eighty-nine meters of fog means he's already standing at the very top among apprentice Mind Readers."

Wei Changshan turned to Chen Lie and said, "Congratulations, Chen Lie, on passing the Mind Reader assessment and becoming an apprentice Mind Reader. I hope you continue working hard, make further breakthroughs, and enter the ranks as soon as possible. The Association will issue your apprentice Mind Reader certificate shortly. In accordance with Blue Star United Government regulations, we will also apply for one jin of an off-world mental strength cultivation resource, Mind-Nurturing Flower, on your behalf. You can leave your address later. Once the application for the Mind-Nurturing Flower is approved by headquarters, the Three Rivers Mind Reader Association Branch will mail it to you, or you can come collect it yourself."

"Wait." Chen Lie suddenly said, "Didn't you say there would be a reward for passing the third assessment? I want to try the third Mind Reader assessment."

"Alright. If you want to try it, then go ahead."

Wei Changshan said, "Come with me to the fourth floor."

Chen Lie nodded and followed Wei Changshan upstairs to the fourth floor.

The fourth-floor hall of the Mind Reader Association was concealed behind an enormous curtain.

Once the group arrived, a staff member from the fourth floor quickly came before Wei Changshan and bowed respectfully.

"President!"

"Mm."

Wei Changshan gave a slight nod and instructed, "Go draw back the curtain."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the staff member immediately went to pull open the massive curtain on the fourth floor.

Once the curtain was drawn back, a crystal computer came into view, connected to a gigantic five-hundred-inch display.

Wei Changshan explained, "This is a large-scale computer connected to Mind Reader Associations across all of Blue Star. The enormous display in the center is made of special materials. It can accommodate mental strength and support its operation."

"The third assessment tests a Mind Reader's consciousness sea world."

"If an apprentice Mind Reader wishes to enter the ranks, they must construct their own consciousness sea world. A consciousness sea world also determines a Mind Reader's potential. The more magnificent the consciousness sea world they construct, the greater their future achievements will be. Thus, apprentice Mind Readers who have yet to enter the ranks generally devote all their strength to building their consciousness sea worlds."

"So, this assessment requires you to use your mental strength to construct your consciousness sea world and display it on this specially made screen. Once construction is complete, this computer, which is connected to Blue Star's Mind Reader network, will give you a rating. If the Blue Star Mind Reader network system gives your consciousness sea a score exceeding ten thousand, it means your consciousness sea world possesses foundations far beyond ordinary people, and you can receive a reward issued by Blue Star Mind Reader Headquarters."

After Wei Changshan finished speaking, Chen Lie asked, "May I ask what reward Mind Reader Headquarters gives out?"

"Usually, it's a Congealing Mind Grass or one jin of Mind-Nurturing Flower. If your consciousness sea world score can exceed... Of course, if your score can break Three Rivers' previous highest consciousness sea record, you'll receive a reward of an off-world mental strength treasure. Such mental strength treasures come from beyond the stars and are at least ten times more valuable than martial arts treasures of the same level."

Wei Changshan said.

"How many points does my consciousness sea world need to score to break the highest consciousness sea record among Three Rivers apprentice Mind Readers?"

"Three hundred thousand!" Wei Changshan said.

At that moment, Shen Feixue, standing nearby, said, "I think you should give it up. The highest consciousness sea score among all Three Rivers apprentice Mind Readers throughout history is over two hundred eighty-nine thousand. There's no way you can break it. As for Sister Miaowei, her consciousness sea world is an ocean. When she first became an apprentice Mind Reader, her mental strength was insufficient, so she couldn't completely construct such a vast consciousness sea world. Even so, her score exceeded two hundred seventy thousand. Once her mental strength is sufficient and she undergoes the consciousness sea assessment again, breaking the record will be effortless. Everyone in Cloud River Province knows that the reward for breaking the consciousness sea record at the Three Rivers Mind Reader Association was prepared for her. You, an outsider, want to lay claim to a reward set by Mind Reader Association Headquarters for the people of the three central provinces?"

Shen Miaowei looked at Chen Lie with the same thought in mind.

"In that case, this reward is clearly fated to be mine."

Chen Lie ignored Shen Feixue.

If an ocean as a consciousness sea could achieve nearly three hundred thousand points, then the reward for breaking the Three Rivers Mind Reader consciousness sea record was naturally within his grasp.

Besides, an off-world mental strength treasure was, if not absolutely unique on Blue Star, then close enough. Even ten or twenty billion star credits would not be enough to buy one.

This was no longer something money could measure. He could not afford to miss it.

"Since you're so confident, then begin!" Wei Changshan said.

Chen Lie came before the specially made five-hundred-inch display, reached out to touch it, and continuously channeled mental strength into the screen through his palm, beginning to construct his consciousness sea world.

Only the tip of the iceberg of the first stage of his consciousness sea world, the Southern Seven Mansions, had been constructed. Yet even that was enough to leave every Mind Reader's consciousness sea world on Blue Star far behind and shatter their understanding.

Therefore, Chen Lie decided to keep a low profile and only construct through the display the first star he had lit among the Four Stars of the Ghost Mansion, the second mansion of the Southern Seven Mansions.

Chen Lie continuously fed mental strength into the display, and at last, the screen began to change color.

Gradually, an enormous crimson sphere slowly took shape at the center of the display.

"What is that, a huge ball?"

Shen Feixue, watching from the side, was completely baffled.

As Chen Lie continued channeling mental strength, the image displayed on the screen grew clearer and clearer.

"This is... a star!"

Wei Changshan could not help but gasp in shock.

The consciousness sea world this young man had created was actually a star?

At last, Chen Lie completely constructed the first star of the Four Stars of the Ghost Mansion in his consciousness sea world on the display.

A star radiating an ancient, timeless aura slowly revolved.

At that moment, the computer began broadcasting.

"Consciousness sea world construction complete. The Blue Star Mind Reader network system is estimating the score."

"Estimating score..."

"Score estimation complete. This consciousness sea has received a score of 2,765,000."

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

"This consciousness sea score has broken the record of the three central provinces and has been listed as the new consciousness sea rating record for the three central provinces."

"Report, report!

This consciousness sea score has entered the top ten of Blue Star's apprentice Mind Reader consciousness sea rating rankings. The system will automatically upload this rating record to Blue Star Mind Reader Association Headquarters."

"Generating information..."

"Name: Chen Lie.

Consciousness Sea: Star

Consciousness Sea Rating: 2,765,000

Blue Star Apprentice Mind Reader Consciousness Sea Rating Rankings: Ninth Place.

Potential Assessment: Vast consciousness sea, with hopes of becoming a Mind Reader Grandmaster."
